Representation for Employees [get started online]

If you would like a free email review of your employment situation, or claim for unpaid wages, please complete and submit our Initial Case Review form.

We will contact you within one to two business days, if we believe you may have a viable legal claim against your current or former employer.

Due to the large volume of initial review requests we receive, we can not always respond to all email contacts and we do not respond to telephone inquiries unless the caller has first submitted a completed Initial Case Review form for review. Ms. DeBrota only represents employees in litigation, but she accepts a relatively small number of meritorious cases and only those which are not likely to be resolved through mediation and where, after careful consideration, the employee has determined that litigation is the proper course of action.

Telephone Consultation [get started online]

Free advice is sometimes worth exactly what you pay for it. If you would like a Telephone Consultation with Ms. DeBrota for up to one hour, please complete and submit our Telephone Consultation form. Ms. DeBrota will review the information you submit and contact you within one to two business days to schedule a Telephone Consultation appointment. The charge for a Telephone Consultation is $250.  Office consultations are also available at an hourly rate fee based on the length of the meeting.

Document Review and Consultation [get started online]

It is wise to consult an attorney before signing a severance package, non-compete agreement, employment contract or other similar employment-related legal documents. A review and consultation regarding the legal implications of various different kinds of documents will allow you to make an informed decision regarding your options and any potential legal consequences. If you would like a Document Review and Consultation, please complete our Document Review and Consultation form and fax (888-273-1326) to Ms. DeBrota. Within one to two business days, Ms. DeBrota will review your completed form and the documents in question and contact you to schedule a telephone consultation, for up to one hour. The Document Review and Consultation fee is $400.

Employment Dispute Mediation [get started online]

Whether you are an employee experiencing a problem on the job, or an employer with a current or former employee who has raised legal issues which could lead to litigation, it is usually best for everyone concerned to try to work out a mutually acceptable solution to the conflict. Ms. DeBrota is a registered Indiana mediator and is available to mediate cases pending in any county in Indiana or in federal court. She is willing to travel for mediations or can host sessions in her office. The fee for mediation services is $150 per hour. Typically, the cost of mediation is split by the participants. If you would like to avoid litigation by participating in pre-lawsuit mediation, or are already embroiled in a lawsuit, please complete a Employment Dispute Mediation Request form and Ms. DeBrota will contact you as soon as possible regarding available dates.

Representation for Employers [get started online]

If your business has received notice of a current for former employee’s claim from an attorney, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or a court summons, and you would like to speak with Ms. DeBrota about the possibility of representation contact her immediately.  There are very important deadlines by which you will need to respond so you should not delay in speaking to an attorney.

Human Resources Counsel [get started online]

If you are an employer who would like to improve your employment policies and procedures, help your workplace run more smoothly, retain good employees and decrease the likelihood of employment related litigation, contact Ms. DeBrota about Human Resources Counsel services. Depending upon the nature of the consultation needed, fees can be either hourly or on a project basis.

"Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure...than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."
