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

Jon 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 Jon for a employment case?

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

• Does Jon offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do employment cases in California 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. Jon gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Jon take my case if I'm outside Eureka?

  Jon is licensed in California. Matters governed by California law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Jon 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 Jon?

  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. Jon will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Jon accepting new employment clients right now?

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