Non-Compete & Employment Agreements - Questionnaire

Please complete the following information as thoroughly as possible. After you have completed the general information section, you will be asked to complete the other questions which pertain to your particular case. In some instances, you may be prompted to answer additional questions which may relate to a different area of employment law, but which may also relate to your particular situation.

We generally charge a $325 consultation fee to meet with a prospective client once we have reviewed a questionnaire and determined that we may be able to provide services.  Even though we have attempted to obtain detailed information through these questionnaires, an in-person consultation is usually necessary to fully evaluate the case and to determine whether we can provide legal services to a prospective client.  If you wish to ensure the confidentiality of any information you provide to us, please call our office for an in-person consultation with one of our attorneys, instead of completing this internet questionnaire.  There is a one-time fee for an in-person initial consultation.
