You usually have 21 days (45 in a group layoff) to sign a severance agreement — but employers count on you signing in the first 48 hours, while you’re still in shock. That agreement is written by their lawyers, for their benefit. Before you waive your rights, let someone whose job was employment litigation read every line.

​

​

What the flat-fee review includes:

• A line-by-line review of your severance agreement, non-compete, non-disparagement, and release language, with a written plain-English summary of what you’re giving up.

​

• A candid assessment of whether the offer is fair for your role, tenure, and circumstances — and whether the facts of your departure give you leverage to negotiate for more.

​

• A 30-minute call to walk through it and answer your questions.

​

• Delivered within 48 hours of receiving your documents.

​

​

Flat Fee: $800. No hourly surprises. If it makes sense to negotiate on your behalf or if your situation involves potential discrimination or retaliation, we’ll tell you plainly — and discuss what representation would look like before you spend another dollar.
 

Important: if any part of your exit felt connected to your race, sex, age, pregnancy, disability, complaints you raised, or leave you too— say so in the consultation. A severance agreement is often the last chance to address a discrimination claim, because signing it usually releases those rights forever.
