Answers before you even ask.

It follows a clear path: an initial intake conversation, then information and document collection. If Ashley takes the case, she typically sends a settlement opportunity letter to your employer and attempts to negotiate a resolution. If that isn’t successful, the case moves into litigation, through trial and judgment if that’s what it takes.

New inquiries are typically answered within 24 hours.

Nothing. Initial consultations are thorough and there is no charge for the evaluation.

With a few exceptions, compensation is contingency-based: the firm does not get paid until the client gets paid. Fee structures vary with the matter, and whatever applies to yours is explained clearly before anything moves forward.

No. Davenport Law represents employees only.

Yes. Ashley is the primary handling attorney on every case in the firm and your normal line of communication. It is very rare for anyone else to communicate with clients directly.

Nothing is required, but these help:

• A short timeline of key events with dates and the people involved
• A copy of a paystub, which identifies your actual employer
• Names of friendly witnesses
• Relevant documents: reviews, write-ups, texts, emails, and anything you’ve been asked to sign

Going forward, document what is happening in the moment.

Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, San Bernardino, and Riverside Counties, and throughout California.

Calls and emails, with updates as often as possible, always explained in plain terms. Cases ebb and flow: sometimes you’ll talk every day, and sometimes there are quieter stretches while deadlines run. Either way, you’ll know where things stand.

It depends, which sounds like a lawyer answer because it is one. Some matters resolve in weeks of negotiation; class actions can take years. What Ashley can do is tell you, honestly and early, what path your case is likely on.
