If you’re here, something went wrong at work—and you’re likely dealing with more than just paperwork. Whether you’ve been fired, harassed, discriminated against, or retaliated against, it’s natural to feel shocked, angry, or overwhelmed. These aren’t just workplace problems. They’re life problems. And you’re not alone.
Our attorneys have spent nearly 15 years fighting—and winning—employment law cases in Missouri courts. We don’t just send demand letters. We take cases to trial. And win. If you think something illegal may have happened, we’re here to help you understand your rights, your options, and what happens next—confidentially and without pressure.

Why People Call Us First

When you’re up against a company—potentially with significant financial resources to defend itself—and the high-dollar legal teams that are frequently hired by these companies, you need experience and results on your side. That’s exactly what we bring to the table:
  • $7.5M Verdict – Wrongful Termination & Sexual Harassment
  • $1.96M Verdict – Hostile Work Environment (Gender)
  • $502K Verdict – Retaliation & Wrongful Termination
  • $376K Verdict – Disability Discrimination
  • $225K Verdict – Gender Discrimination
These aren’t settlements. They are jury verdicts won by our team of experienced employment trial attorneys. In fact, other attorneys and law firms often call upon our trial attorneys to lead their employment trials. We’ve built our reputation one case, one verdict, and one client at a time.

Why We Charge $300—and Why It’s Worth It

Yes, our employment consultations cost $300. We’re upfront about that. We understand that some attorneys offer free employment consultations. While we respect that choice, there’s a reason why we charge a consultation fee and here’s why:

During our employment law consultations:

  • You’ll meet directly with a senior employment trial attorney—not a junior associate or call screener.
  • We take the time needed to hear your story, gather the facts, review your documents, and answer your questions.
  • You’ll receive a candid, informed legal opinion and a clear explanation of your rights and potential options.
  • You’ll know whether we believe you have a case—and why.
This is not a rushed screening. It’s a focused, confidential legal consultation designed to give you clarity and direction. There is no obligation beyond the consultation. If your situation qualifies and we move forward, we’ll explain the next steps and discuss the future fee arrangement transparently. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll do our best to point you to someone who is.

Why Not a Free Consultation?

Many firms offer free consultations, but they’re often 10–15 minute conversations with someone who may not be qualified to give you legal advice.

At Hollingshead & Dudley:

  • You’ll never be rushed or screened out the moment our attorneys believe we can’t provide you with further assistance.
  • You’ll speak with a seasoned employment attorney with a proven track record of trial success.
  • You’ll walk away from the consultations with answers and not more uncertainty.

We believe your time—and your future—deserve more than a marketing pitch. You deserve a real legal evaluation that lets you know where you stand and what, if any, options you may have to pursue legal claims.

What Happens After the Consultation?

There’s no obligation to hire our firm after the consultation. We don’t believe in pressure tactics. Our job is to give you clarity and to discuss your options—whether we take your case or not.
And yes—everything you share with us is confidential, even if we don’t move forward together after your consultation.

Do I Need to Bring Anything to My Consultation?

Not at all. If you have documents (termination letters, emails, etc.), they’re helpful—but not required. Should you wish to provide us with documentation in advance of your consultation, as part of scheduling your consultation, one of our employment law paralegals will further assist you. We’ll handle the rest.
