Immediate answers, any hour
Can I get answers about what happened at work right now?
The honest answer
Yes. Even at 2 a.m. on a Tuesday, tap the voice button and ask what you need to know. Ellie responds immediately with plain-language, general California workplace information, then helps organize dates, documents, and names. Ellie is a virtual assistant, not a person or a lawyer; she does not give legal advice or choose or contact an attorney for you.
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 after the conversation?
You can use the organized timeline to keep researching, contact an official agency, or speak with a California-licensed employment attorney you independently choose. Only an attorney who reviews your facts can give legal advice or decide whether to offer representation.
What if I’m not sure what my issue is called?
That’s normal, and it’s our job, not yours. The seventeen situations in the workplace-issues index cover most of what California workers ask about — 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.
