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

Shellie 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 Shellie for a employment case?

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

• Does Shellie offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Shellie take my case if I'm outside Fort Wayne?

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

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

• Is Shellie accepting new employment clients right now?

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