Emotionally charged prospects who act fast
Employment law clients have just been fired, harassed, or discriminated against. They're emotional and ready to hire immediately. The first attorney to respond gets the case.
For Employment & Labor Attorneys
Wrongful termination clients don't wait — they hire the first attorney who calls back
Employment law prospects are angry, scared, and ready to act. 86% of inquiries never convert because firms respond too slowly. FirmFirst ensures you respond in minutes and win the case.
How a $6,000 retainer goes to another firm
Friday at 5:30 PM. You just left the office.
5:32 PM
Employee fired — searches for attorney
Just terminated after reporting safety violations. She's shaking, angry, and Googling 'wrongful termination attorney' from the parking lot. Potential case value: $6K–$15K retainer.
5:35 PM
Forms submitted to 3 firms
She found three employment attorneys with good reviews. She wants someone to tell her she has a case — tonight, not Monday.
5:41 PM
Competitor calls back
Another attorney got a text notification, reviewed the details (retaliation claim, documented safety reports), and called within 9 minutes.
6:00 PM
Consultation scheduled for Saturday
The competitor offered a Saturday phone consultation. She felt heard and committed. Your inquiry sits unread.
Monday 8:45 AM
You see the inquiry
63 hours too late. She has an attorney. A retaliation case with strong documentation — gone.
$6,000
That's the retainer. But retaliation cases with documentation often settle for $50K–$150K. The contingency fee alone would have been $15K–$50K.
Employment law-specific challenges
02
Time-sensitive claims with filing deadlines
EEOC charges must be filed within 180–300 days. Wage claims have statutes of limitations. Prospects who don't find an attorney fast may miss their window entirely.
03
Wide range of case values
Employment law spans $2,000 wage disputes to $100K+ discrimination settlements. Without pre-qualification, you invest equal time on every inquiry regardless of case value.

Qualify case value before the consultation
Intelligence signals show employment history, employer info, and contact validity. Prioritize cases with large employers (deeper pockets, higher settlements) and documented claims.
Win more high-value employment cases
Average wrongful termination retainer: $3K–$8K. Discrimination contingency: $15K–$50K from settlement. Responding 5 minutes faster wins 1 extra case per month — that's $36K–$96K/year in additional revenue.
