Justo's primary office is at 500 Munoz Rivera Ave., San Juan, PR, 00918. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

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

Justo 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 Justo for a employment case?

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

• Does Justo offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Justo take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Justo evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Justo's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

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

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

• Is Justo accepting new employment clients right now?

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