The path

Note to filing, in five steps

01
Step 1: A private note
You write from a personal device. Say what you know in your own words. The names of the company and people can wait for the call.
02
Step 2: The first phone call
A lawyer calls at the time and number you choose. We listen first and ask questions second.
03
Step 3: A records review
If it may be a case, we look at what you have and what you can lawfully keep, and ask a specialist to read it with us.
04
Step 4: A yes, or a plain no
We tell you what we think, in writing. If we decline, we say why and which deadlines to mind.
05
Step 5: What gets filed
A sealed complaint, an agency tip or a retaliation claim, depending on the facts. You decide each step.

Before your first note

Use a personal phone, a personal email and a network that is not your employer's.
Do not forward company files to yourself, and do not take anything marked privileged.
Do not confront anyone, and do not discuss it with coworkers.
Write down dates and names today, in your own words, somewhere your employer cannot see.

A first note takes five minutes and starts nothing you cannot stop.

Contingency fees come from any recovery. Costs such as filing and expert fees may be separate; we explain them in writing before you sign.
