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

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

• Does Madchen offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Madchen take my case if I'm outside Boston?

  Madchen is licensed in Massachusetts. Matters governed by Massachusetts law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Madchen 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 Madchen?

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

• Is Madchen accepting new employment clients right now?

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