Working with a new employment attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with J usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

J discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in employment practice — ask which fits.

• How much does it cost to hire J for a employment case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. J walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does J offer a free consultation?

  J charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain J's office. Some employment attorneys offer free consults — check J's current terms during booking.

• How long do employment cases in New Jersey typically take?

  Simple employment matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. J gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can J take my case if I'm outside Teaneck?

  J is licensed in New Jersey. Matters governed by New Jersey law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — J will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with J?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. J will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is J accepting new employment clients right now?

  J's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
