Ilsa's primary office is at San Jose Building, 1250 Ponce de Leon Ave., Ste. 1005, San Juan, PR, 00907. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

Working with a new employment attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with Ilsa usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

Ilsa discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in employment practice — ask which fits.

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

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

• Does Ilsa offer a free consultation?

  Ilsa charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Ilsa's office. Some employment attorneys offer free consults — check Ilsa's current terms during booking.

• How long do employment cases in this state typically take?

  Simple employment matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Ilsa gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Ilsa take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Ilsa evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Ilsa's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Ilsa?

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

• Is Ilsa accepting new employment clients right now?

  Ilsa's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
