Considerations For Your Consultation

• When you contact our office, please do so from your personal email address or telephone. Contacting our office from a work email address or telephone could potentially compromise your employment situation and / or attorney-client privilege.
• Do not transmit sensitive information via the contact form on the web site. Simply provide your contact information and a brief description of your situation.
• There may be short deadlines that apply to certain claims, so delay may affect your options.

There is an hourly fee for consultations. Payment is expected at the time of your appointment and is payable by check, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover.

During your consultation, you can expect a confidential discussion that will include:

• Reviewing a detailed history of your employment situation
• Evaluating information that could support your claims or negotiating position
• Presenting options for your next step

To prepare for your consultation, collect all relevant documents in your possession, such as:

• Recent performance evaluations
• Performance improvement plan
• Offer letter
• Employment contract
• Termination notice
• Employee Handbook
• Separation Agreement

After the consultation, if the firm agrees to represent you, we will discuss the firm’s Client Agreement and associated fees in detail.

FAQS about Meeting with a Noble Law Attorney

How Do I Meet with an Attorney to Discuss my Employment Issue?

If you live or work in one of the areas we serve, you should contact us via phone, email, or the website to begin the intake process.

Noble Law offers telephone and video conferences to clients who live or work in North Carolina, South Carolina, the District of Columbia, Maryland, and New York.  In-person consultations are available at our offices in Raleigh, Winston-Salem, Charlotte, and Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina. You may complete and submit the form below or call us at (919) 585-5557 (Triangle) or (704) 251-8262 (Charlotte) or 864-668-3739 (Mt. Pleasant) to speak with an Intake Specialist.

 What Can I Expect when I call the Intake Line?

You will be connected to a Noble Law Intake Specialist when you call the Intake line. Intake Specialists are not attorneys and cannot give you legal advice.  They collect and summarize important information related to your legal concerns and enter it into our system.  The Intake Specialist will need your personal contact information (not your work email or work phone number), the name of your employer, the number of people who work at your company, the years you’ve worked there, your job position, and your annual compensation.  The Intake Specialists may determine that, because of a conflict or other issue, we need to refer you to another law firm.

What is the Process After I Speak with an Intake Specialist?

The Intake Specialist will provide the intake summary to one of the Firm’s lawyers for review. The reviewing attorney will then make a decision about your potential matter. The attorney will make one of three decisions:

• More Information is Needed: The attorney may ask the Intake Specialist to contact you to answer more questions.  Sometimes, we need specific information to determine if a claim would apply, and we can often save you a consultation if we determine from a particular fact that you are ineligible for relief. For example, you may be beyond the statute of limitations for a claim, which would making it difficult to pursue that claim.
• Approved for an Assessment or Consultation. The attorney may decide to offer you a 15-minute assessment, a 30-minute consultation, or a full consultation with one of our lawyers.
  1. There is no fee for a 15-minute assessment, but it is not a complete consultation and does not include document review or a legal plan of action. The purpose of the assessment is to determine if there is a substantial basis for a full consultation and document review.
  2. The 30-minute consultation is fee-based but does not include a complete document review. The purpose of the shorter consultation is to evaluate potential claims and make a legal plan. That might include recommendations to the client about discussions with their employer, filing a charge with a government agency, or engaging the Firm for representation.
  3. The full consultation includes a complete and thorough review of documents, the client’s timeline, and a detailed analysis of the potential claims and damages. This consultation usually takes 60 minutes but it is a flat fee and may take more or less than 60 minutes to complete. Any request for legal analysis of a particular document (for example, an employment contract, non-competition agreement, or severance package review) will only be undertaken in a full consultation.
• Declined for Assessment or Consultation. An attorney who reviews your intake summary may determine that we cannot be of assistance to you and, therefore, will not offer an assessment or consultation.  While it can be frustrating and disappointing not to have a consultation with our Firm, we cannot guarantee a consultation for every person who completes the intake process for various reasons. For example, we may decline because the time to file a claim has passed or because the employment laws do not apply to smaller employers.  The potential client who declined a consultation should not interpret our decision to mean that their claims have no merit or that we do not handle certain types of claims.  If we decline to offer you a meeting with an attorney, an Intake Specialist will provide you with resources that may be helpful to you, including government agencies, nonprofits, and bar associations.  We always encourage you to contact other employment lawyers for a second opinion on your potential matter.

Is the Website Form Confidential?

We will do our best to keep your information confidential; however, we encourage you to give us a brief summary on the website form rather than specific details.  Using this website to contact Noble Law does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and the Firm. You will become a client of the Firm if the Firm agrees to offer you a consultation with one of our attorneys. If you have confidential information that you would like to give to any lawyer at the Firm, please communicate with the Firm by telephone–not by filling in any form on this website or by sending an unsolicited email to the Firm or any of its lawyers.
