With an Attorney – Not an Intake Team
An attorney will call you at the phone number you provided when you booked your consultation. Please do not drive to our office unless you have made specific arrangements due to a disability or other specific reason discussed with our staff in advance. Please keep any documentation or paperwork you think may be helpful nearby in case you need to reference it during the phone call.
We understand that no one calls us because they are having a good day. Almost all of our consultations are about frustrating, confusing, and unfair situations that employees find themselves in. Our goal is to help you figure out if you have a legal case. Unfortunately, we cannot give direct legal advice unless we are retained, but we can speak generally about the law and possible options you may have in your situation.
If we are not the right fit for your situation, we do our very best to point you in the right direction.
Questions Our Attorneys Will Ask
Our attorneys will start off by asking you various background questions. These questions usually include:
-
The Name of Your Former or Current Employer
-
The Location of Your Former or Current Employer
-
The Approximate Number of Employees (Do 5 or More People Work There?)
-
The Approximate Dates of Your Employment
-
Your Job Title or Job Position
-
Your Job's Responsibilities
-
Whether Your Job Was Hourly or Salaried
-
The Approximate Pay (Full or Part Time)
-
The Names of Your Managers, Supervisors, or Bosses
-
Whether Your Employer is a Private Entity or a Public / Government Entity
-
Whether You Belong to a Union
Getting through these basic background questions quickly will allow you and the attorney to discuss the legal options you may have in more detail during your phone consultation.
Telling Your Story
After going through some basic background questions, our attorneys will ask you why you decided to contact a law firm for help. We understand it can be difficult to avoid going into all the details when you have been in a frustrating or unfair work environment for some time. However, our attorneys usually only need the general overview in order to figure out if they can help you take legal action.
Examples of a succinct overview include:
-
“I asked to take medical leave, and then they fired me for it.”
-
“I was told I could only wear skirts to work.”
-
“My manager routinely used slurs to refer to me.”
-
“My boss made fun of me every day, but no one else, and I think it’s because of my age because of the kinds of comments she made.”
-
“I had issues with my manager, and when I reported them, they retaliated against me by moving me to a lower position with less pay.”
While a general timeline is good to have in your mind, sometimes a highly detailed retelling or “play by play” of your experience is not needed during an initial consultation.
A good legal case is often pretty straightforward. Think of it this way – if you are unable to summarize the situation succinctly for an attorney, your attorney probably cannot summarize the situation for a jury or an arbitrator later on.
Having a quick summary of what happened to you can therefore be very helpful, and our attorneys will ask logical follow-up questions about the details. They will know which details to focus on based on the law.
Abusive Language Policy
We understand that most people who call our office are going through a difficult time. However, we will not tolerate abusive or aggressive language towards our staff or our attorneys. We also will not tolerate bigoted speech – including hateful, racist, or sexist remarks about any person. This goes against our values. We reserve the right to end our phone consultation at any time if potential clients cannot be respectful of this policy.
Our Fee Structure
Our attorneys work on a contingency basis. A contingent fee is defined as a “fee charged for a lawyer’s services only if the lawsuit is successful or is favorably settled out of court.” (See Black’s Law Dictionary.)
This means that we do not charge a fee for our work unless we “win” a case. Winning a case generally means recovering money on our client’s behalf. We front all of the fees and costs, and then when the legal action resolves, we take a percentage of the settlement or award.
The percentage is based on a “sliding scale” depending on how much work goes into a case. If a case settles pre-litigation, meaning before a lawsuit is filed in court or in arbitration, we take a smaller percentage than if a matter goes all the way to trial.
We are happy to discuss our contingency fees in more detail over the phone as well, and we always encourage potential clients to call multiple law firms.
Thank you for choosing to contact Osprey Law, PC.
We look forward to speaking with you and helping however we can during your phone consultation.
Testimonials
I cannot recommend Kate and Chris enough. From the very beginning, they were professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in my case. They took the time to explain every step of the process clearly, answered all of my questions, and made sure I always felt informed and supported.
What truly stood out was their dedication and attention to detail. They fought hard on my behalf, advocated for my best interests, and never treated me like just another case. Their expertise, confidence, and compassion made a stressful situation much easier to navigate.
Thanks to their hard work and commitment, we achieved a successful outcome, and I am beyond grateful. If you are looking for attorneys who are knowledgeable, trustworthy, and truly care about their clients, this is the team you want on your side.
~ Morgan R.
Chris and Kate are an exceptional team. I was consistently impressed by their transparency, emotional intelligence, and empathy throughout the duration of my case. Chris went out of his way to communicate and ensure I understood every step along the way. The process, the timeliness, and the outcome were all extremely positive. I would give Chris and Kate ten stars if I could.
~ Kacie B.
Chris and Kate are great at what they do! I’m beyond satisfied with the outcome and grateful for their support and knowledge throughout this process. I 100% recommend them! Thank you both so much for all your hard work and dedication.
~ Cruz B.
If you're looking for exceptional legal representation in employment-related matters, I cannot recommend Chris Jevsevar and Osprey Law highly enough. I had the privilege of working with Chris and his associate, Kate, on a complex, multi-year employment case involving both arbitration and the Los Angeles Superior Court. While Chris and Kate handled the entirety of the case, I was involved as the client is a member of my family. I’m an attorney as well. From start to finish, their counsel was nothing short of outstanding.
Chris’s sharp wit, attention to detail, intelligent yet aggressive approach, and unwavering focus on what’s best for the client were evident throughout the entire process. His communication is stellar—clear, timely, and always with the client’s best interest at heart. His dedication to zealous representation is among the best I’ve seen. In a business that often gets dirty when employers who are now defendants stop at nothing to pressure their former employee / plaintiffs, Chris is there to protect you. His many years representing employers provides a considerable advantage to his clients.
If you’re facing an employment-related legal issue, trust me when I say there’s no one better than Chris and Osprey Law. Their expertise and commitment are truly unmatched. Highly recommend!
~ Bill S.

He truly listens, understands and overall genuinely cares about you, your rights as an employee and what you deserve.
