New York Employment Lawyers
Have you ever wondered how employment lawyers handle cases? If you are thinking about bringing an employment claim, you might want to know how your firm will handle your case. Here is a brief explanation of how our New York employment law firm handles cases.
We firmly believe that preparation is the key to winning cases. The first thing we do is organize the facts, documents and witnesses. We do this by creating three important documents which serve as the hub of the case. These documents are a fact chronology, a document chronology and a third document entitled cast of characters. These documents are constantly reviewed and updated as the case progresses and we learn more. These three core documents make it easy for us to quickly see the case and know all of the important details.
Once a client a hires us, we start working with them to develop a chronology of facts and documents and we identify the key witnesses and put them in the cast of characters. A member of our staff meets with our client in person or over the phone to go over the facts and get copies of any important documents. After creating a first draft of the three core documents, we share them with our client so they can review them and let us know what is missing or inaccurate. This is an ongoing process.
We also have a weekly meeting for each case. There is a team assigned to handle each case and the team reviews the status of the case and we assign tasks to be done over the next week. These weekly meetings keep the case on track and moving forward.
In a later post, I will go over the other things we do at our firm to manage our cases. The key to our firm is using dependable systems to organize and manage cases. If you are thinking of bringing an employment case, make sure that you interview several employment law firms and ask them how they will manage your case and how they plan to communicate with you. You want to be sure that you will be kept well informed.
