Many people who call our office are nervous to hire us or even talk or meet with us. Many people think that their employer will be mean to them, give them a hard time, or even fire them if they hire an attorney.
Under Indiana law, it is illegal for an employer to retaliate against an employee for pursuing rights under the Indiana Worker’s Compensation law. Your employer knows that it is illegal and should not take any steps to be difficult, mean to you, or retaliate against you for filing a worker’s compensation claim. To do so, could give you the right to sue your employer.
Our office will meet with you, talk with you over the phone, or email with you and answer any questions you may have free of charge. You do not need to hire us just because you decided to consult with us. Again, we do not charge any money for a consultation. If you do decide to hire us, we feel confident that your employer will not retaliate against you or, if they do, your employer may be subject to civil penalties.
If you have any concerns about hiring an attorney or just want to consult with our office, please give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!
How do we charge?
Our office will not charge for a consultation. If you decide to hire us, we charge no fee up front. Our attorney fee is set by Indiana law and Indiana law limits our fee to 20% of any recovery up to $50,000.00. For recoveries above $50,000.00, our fee is limited to 15% of any monies recovered above $50,000.00. With limited exceptions, we also will collect our out-of-pocket expenses from the recovery and not from you. If you hire us with an offer already given to you, we will typically agree not to charge an attorney fee unless we recover additional money. For example, if you hire us with an offer already of $5,000.00 and 3 months later we tell you we can only get you $5,000.00, we will typically not charge you. We will discuss this in more detail at the initial meeting and put our agreement in writing.
