A qualified attorney will consult with callers for up to 30 minutes on a covered question or concern.* Consultations can be telephonic or in-person with a local attorney. Meetings with in-person attorneys are scheduled ahead of time, however meetings with telephonic attorneys are often immediate.
A consultation consists of a brief analysis of the situation and advice on how to proceed. If the employee chooses to retain the referred attorney, in many cases, he or she receives up to a 25% discount off the attorney’s hourly fee. Examples of covered issues include family law, bankruptcy, adoption, elder care, wills/trusts/estate planning, consumer issues, and civil and criminal issues.
* There is no document review or creation during this free consultation. Other exclusions: employment law as it relates to employees and family members, issues related to one’s own business, class action lawsuits, and taxes.

Advice is objective and pressure-free, and all advisors are knowledgeable in a wide range of financial topics.
