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

Miguel 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 Miguel for a employment case?

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

• Does Miguel offer a free consultation?

  Miguel charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Miguel's office. Some employment attorneys offer free consults — check Miguel'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. Miguel gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

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

  Miguel evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Miguel'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 Miguel?

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

• Is Miguel accepting new employment clients right now?

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