Services Available
Employment Law Hotline Huff, Poole & Mahoney, P.C.'s Employment Law Practice Group offers an Employment Law Hotline to the
firm's business clients. By subscribing to the Hotline, businesses can avoid hourly fees by prepaying a
determined amount for one year of unlimited telephone access. This program is designed to provide clients
with a value-oriented, cost-effective means of consulting with their attorneys about employment law issues. Why Does Your Business Need an Employment Attorney On-Call? Decrease Your Exposure to Claims
The increasing complexity of employment laws and the ease with which disgruntled employees can file
complaints have eroded the ability of employers just to "do what's fair" without the benefit of legal advice. Employers
who consult with their attorneys early and often regarding employment law questions can dramatically decrease their legal
exposure. Anticipate Your Legal Costs
Most employers cite cost concerns as the reason for avoiding calling their attorneys for "preventive" legal advice Because the Employment Law Hotline is a prepaid legal service, Employers know "up front" what their legal costs will
be. This arrangement encourages businesses to communicate with us early and often while remaining confident that they
are staying within their budget. Program Features - Clients pay a flat fee tailored to their unique business needs. Because the fee is prepaid and primarily
covers telephone consultations, we can charge an annual fee which is significantly lower than the amount
clients would pay if charged an hourly rate.
- Unlimited telephonic access during business hours. A client who has paid for the service can call with
employment law questions as often as necessary.
- Basic legal research to answer your questions fully and accurately. Legal research in connection with a
question is only subject to an additional fee if we estimate that more than one hour will be required to find the
answer. We will obtain your approval in advance before undertaking more extensive research.
- Analysis of short documents. If necessary to understand your legal question, we will review short documents
in connection with your phone call at no additional charge. Upon your prior approval, separate fees will be
charged for analysis of more complex documents.
- Consistent service from an attorney familiar with your business. As a general rule, you will always
speak with the same attorney who is well-acquainted with your particular business and with prior issues that
you've addressed.
