How Much Does an Employment Law Attorney Cost?

At Legal Ally, we understand that pursuing legal action can be daunting, especially when considering the costs involved. Jessica provides clear, upfront information about the costs of taking action. Many employment law cases are taken on a contingency basis, meaning you don’t pay unless we win your case. We want to make sure you can focus on getting the justice you deserve, not worrying about legal fees.

What Should I Look for in an Employment Law Attorney?

When seeking legal representation for an employment issue, experience is key. Jessica A. Rounds has a plethora of experience, both in and outside of the courthouse having formerly defended large insurance firms and their insureds. Now, as a plaintiff's advocate, she uses that insider knowledge to effectively fight against corporations. Her unique background ensures she can anticipate strategies used by employers and their legal teams, giving you the upper hand in your case.

What If I Lose My Job If I File a Complaint or Sue My Employer?

One of the biggest fears employees face when considering legal action is the potential for retaliation, such as losing their job. While it’s illegal for employers to retaliate against employees for filing complaints or lawsuits, the threat of retaliation can feel overwhelming. Jessica A. Rounds is committed to protecting your job while pursuing justice. She will advise you on your legal options and work to safeguard your rights throughout the process, ensuring that retaliation does not further harm you.

What Can I Receive Compensation For If I Win My Case Against My Employer?

  • Two people shaking hands, one wearing a light blue shirt and the other a white shirt.

    Lost Wages:

    We may help you recover back pay and future compensation, including benefits, if applicable.

  • Two hands, one with a lighter skin tone and one with a darker skin tone, holding each other gently. The darker-skinned hand has a wedding ring on the ring finger.
