Red flags when hiring a employment attorney company

71 companies are listed in this directory, including employment attorney specialists. Most employment attorney companies are honest. The few that aren't tend to show it early — if you know what to watch for. These are the warning signs worth walking away over.

Warning signs

  • Reluctant to provide references.
  • Vague answers about who will actually do the work.
  • No written quote — only a number over the phone.
  • A price dramatically lower than everyone else's.
  • No physical address, and a phone number that's the only way to reach them.
  • Demands cash only.
  • Pressure to decide immediately or pay in full up front.

Trust your instincts

You're never obligated to hire a company just because you asked for a quote. If the basics don't check out or the pressure is high, move on — there are plenty of reputable companies who will earn your business the right way.

Common questions

What if I already paid a deposit to someone sketchy?

Stop further payments, document everything in writing, and contact your payment provider and local consumer-protection office about options.

Is cash-only always a scam?

Not always, but it removes your paper trail and is common in disputes. Prefer a company who accepts traceable payment.
