Straight answers about working with us

Most of our cases are on contingency: we're paid a share of what's recovered, and nothing if nothing is. Some laws make the employer pay the fee instead. Severance reviews are a flat fee we quote up front.

Case costs, like filing fees, deposition transcripts and expert time, are separate from the lawyer's fee. Your agreement says who pays them and when, including if the case is lost. We go through it line by line before you sign.

Yes. By phone, by video or at the office on Mesa Street, including Saturday mornings.

Pay stubs, your schedule or time records, texts or emails from supervisors, your offer letter or handbook, and a short timeline in your own words. A photo of the schedule board counts.

No. Your employer hears from us only if you decide to go ahead, and only after we've talked through what that means for you.

Yes. Employers have to keep pay records, and we can ask for them. Bring what you remember.

A pay claim that settles on a demand letter can take a few weeks. A case that goes to court can take a year or more. We'll tell you which path yours looks like.

Most cases settle before trial. If yours doesn't, you'll have a lawyer beside you who has been through it with you from the start.

We take cases across West Texas and in southern New Mexico, and meet by video when the drive is long.
