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

Sunny 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 Sunny for a employment case?

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

• Does Sunny offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Sunny take my case if I'm outside San Luis Obispo?

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

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

• Is Sunny accepting new employment clients right now?

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