Not every issue requires litigation. Not every question requires a retainer. But many situations benefit from informed legal advice. A flat-fee consultation is often the most efficient, cost-effective way to protect yourself, your business, and your future.
Who can benefit from a flat fee consultation?
Our consultation model is especially helpful for:
- Individuals who their severance agreement reviewed
- Employees seeking to understand their employment agreement
- Individuals looking for guidance about an employment issue
Individuals looking to understand their severance agreement
Before you sign a severance agreement, it’s critical to understand what rights you may be giving up and how the terms could affect you in the real world. You may also want to know if there are any red flags or potential points of negotiation.

Important note: These are limited-scope, flat-fee offerings focused on review and advice.

They do not include direct negotiations or ongoing representation beyond the consultation.

We explain the terms of your agreement in plain English, sort out standard provisions and “red flag” provisions that are unusually risky, and identify negotiation options. By the end of the session, you can expect:
This option makes sense for most individuals looking to better understand their severance agreement and talk through red flags and negotiation possibilities.
