The best way to prevent employment law problems is when the individual
is being hired, by means of a written and detailed employment contract.
Similarly, the best time for an employer to seek legal advice on
how to handle unsatisfactory performance or dismissal is early in
the process. Generally speaking, this minimizes legal fees and the
management time and resources that are ultimately spent in dealing
with the matter. “The earlier the better.”
Mr. Adams understands client’s concerns over the cost of legal
fees. Mr. Adams is willing to examine alternative fee arrangements
with clients as compared to traditional hourly rate arrangements,
depending on the particular client’s circumstances and the
type of case. These alternatives can include contingency agreements
or a blend of a reduced hourly rate combined with a contingency
factor.
