What Happens After Your Calculator Result?

Your result is an estimate, not a review of your severance package or employment contract. A lawyer can assess the documents and circumstances behind your offer, including compensation such as bonuses, commissions and benefits.

1. Tell us what happened. Share where you work, whether you belong to a union, how long you worked for the employer and what you have been offered. Mention any deadline you have been given.
2. Have your documents ready. If available, gather your termination letter, severance offer, employment contract and recent pay information. You do not need to have everything ready before contacting us.
3. Understand your options. Our team will confirm whether we can assist and explain the consultation process, including any applicable fees. If you retain us, your lawyer can advise you on the next steps.
