Although situations vary from case to case somewhat, the timeline and steps invovled in an employment or discrimination laws claim follows the same basic process:

1. you retain an attorney,
2. all information is gathered and meetings are had with the attorney regarding the employer and perhaps even the company is researched depending on the case,
3. a strategy of either settlement or litigation is decided upon by the attorney, in some cases it is best to commence legal action at once and in other cases it is not,
4. offers are made, rejected or accepted, and counteroffers are submitted,
5. the client makes decisions regarding offers based on the attorneys counsel and knowledge of hundreds of similar settlements, and his or her knowledge of what the employer's defense lawyer will encourage them to accept, the final decision rests with you the client,
6. the case is finalized and a settlement check is sent to the attorney which is then divided,
7. (very, very rarely do one of our cases fail to result in a successful financial award to the client, and you are not liable for fees if this were to occur)

The process of vindicating your rights to fair treatment through the employment and discrimination laws can be a difficult process if handled on your own.  Indeed, you will likely not be taken seriously in submitting your claim.  With competent counsel on your side you can let go of much of the stress and uncertainty regarding what to do and what will happen.  Once we are on board you can basically leave it all up to us.  You can rest assured that the problem is handled and the angles are covered as well as they can be in your favor.

Our fees are reasonable and are contingent on success.  There is absolutely no harm in calling and discussing your situation.
