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

Stephen 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 Stephen for a employment case?

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

• Does Stephen offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Stephen take my case if I'm outside Pasadena?

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

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

• Is Stephen accepting new employment clients right now?

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