• How much does it cost to hire Gayle for a employment case?

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

• Can Gayle take my case if I'm outside Houston?

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