What to Expect in Your First 30 Days
Your roadmap for the start of your case.
Welcome to the team. The beginning of a legal case can feel uncertain, so our goal is to provide immediate clarity on what happens next. This article outlines the key steps we will take together during your first 30 days as we build the foundation for your case.
This initial phase is part of our Wanta Thome Resolution Method™ and is focused on swift and thorough case evaluation.
1. Comprehensive Fact Gathering
Our first step is to listen carefully to your story and review the initial facts and documents you provide. We will ask clarifying questions to ensure we understand every detail. Your role is critical here: please provide us with all information relevant to your case, even if you are unsure of its importance.
2. Case Evaluation
Once we have the initial information, our team will conduct a detailed evaluation. We will confirm the legal and factual basis of your claims and begin to analyze your potential damages, such as lost wages or emotional distress. This allows us to develop an initial case strategy tailored to your specific situation.
3. Preserving Key Evidence
During this time, it is essential that you preserve all potential evidence. This includes emails, text messages, voicemails, documents, and any other communication or record related to your employment and your claims. Please do not delete or alter anything. We will provide further guidance on this, but it is a crucial responsibility that begins now.
Clear Communication and Next Steps
Throughout this 30-day period, you can expect timely communication and a team that respects your time. By the end of this phase, we will provide you with a clear, honest assessment of your case and outline the next steps for moving forward: (1) initiate pre-litigation settlement discussions with a demand letter, (2) file a charge with a state or federal administrative agency, or (3) begin litigation.
