I am looking into hiring an employment attorney. I filled out three inquiry forms at three different law firms in my city. An intake specialist called from one with further questions, but we haven't connected. Another sent an email naming a lawyer who might take the case after a $600 consultation fee for an hour-long conversation. Is that normal? I also have no idea if that lawyer is worth the initial expense. Is there a way to find out if they are worth it? thanks
