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

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

• Does Shirla offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Is Shirla accepting new employment clients right now?
