Jeannie 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 Jeannie for a employment case?

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

• Does Jeannie offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do employment cases in Washington 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. Jeannie gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Jeannie take my case if I'm outside Seattle?

  Jeannie is licensed in Washington. Matters governed by Washington law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Jeannie will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

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

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

• Is Jeannie accepting new employment clients right now?

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