Employee & Employment Law FAQs

1.

How much does it cost to hire a lawyer in Missouri?

Dowd & Dowd operates on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay no attorney fees upfront. You only pay if we win. That means you can work with our experienced attorneys to focus on what’s important: building your case so that you have the strongest chance of securing the winning verdict and compensation you deserve.

2.

How long do I have to file an Employment Law claim?

Missouri law states that most employee & employment law claims must be filed within 2 years of the incident. There are also other special requirements, such as obtaining a Notice of Right to Sue from the Missouri Department of Labor. The time limitations can be demanding so it is vital that you seek legal representation immediately and provide all of the facts to your lawyer as soon as possible. Certain exceptions may apply depending on the specifics of your case. We must be informed of the facts of your case before providing legal advice related to any potential statute of limitations issues in your case.

3.

How much is my employee or employment law claim worth?

Your employee or employment law claim will be based on factors like:

  • The nature and scope of the workplace tort
  • How much you suffered financially and emotionally from the incident
  • How much the employer knew of the misconduct
  • Whether the employer took any corrective actions when notified of the complaints
  • Who and what, exactly, caused your damages
  • Your exact jurisdiction
  • How much insurance coverage the defendant has
