Experienced Non-Attorney Representation

Everyone deserves justice, whether they have an attorney or not.

Our Settlement Negotiation service is designed for all qualified claimants, including those who fall outside the scope of a traditional employment law firm.

  • Short tenure with the employer
  • “Old” claims within the statute of limitations
  • Imperfect documentation of protected actions
  • “Low value” claims

How It Works

Let an experienced employment specialist represent your interests.

In compliance with state and federal statutes, clients sign a Limited Representation Agreement authorizing Thurgood to negotiate with your employer and/or file a charge with the relevant authority for your case. 



After filing, Thurgood represents the claimant throughout the process — similar to traditional law firm representation, but at a fraction of the cost.

The Filing Process

Over 90% of claims are successfully resolved without going to court.

Thurgood files claims with the EEOC, OSHA, and other state and federal authorities. Unlike court, these options provide an investigator to look into the details of your case, and have jurisdiction to facilitate a settlement or issue a finding. And we’ll be with you the whole way.

Affordable Service

Negotiator in the front, attorney in the back.

Thurgood reviews cases internally with counsel, while our experienced non-attorney negotiators lead the effort to help achieve at a settlement with your employer, in accordance with the law.

This allows us to provide expert service while keeping costs down — the kind of service we wish we had when we faced our own employment problems.

Same Process, Less Cost
