How do I actually talk to an employment attorney?
The honest answer
You start by talking to us — any hour, free, private. You tell the story once, in your own words; we organize every date, document, and name into a clear summary; and before the conversation ends, a video call is booked with a California employment attorney who reads that summary before meeting you. No forms first, no hold music, no starting from zero on the call.
What should I have ready?
Nothing, honestly — your memory is enough to start. If you want to feel prepared, the useful things are the ones already in your kitchen drawer: pay stubs, schedules, the termination letter, texts and emails, names of people who saw what you saw. The conversation will surface what matters; you don’t need to guess in advance.
What happens on the video call?
The attorney has your organized summary in front of them, so the call starts at the real question: is this a case, and what are the options? Expect straight talk about strengths, gaps, and next steps. If representation makes sense, the fee arrangement is explained up front and put in writing — nothing proceeds without your say-so.
What if I’m not sure what my issue is called?
That’s normal, and it’s our job, not yours. The seventeen situations on the homepage cover most of what California workers bring us — from wrongful termination and unpaid wages to retaliation — but the conversation works fine if all you have is “something’s wrong.”
Prefer to write instead? The case review form does the same job in text.
