Severance & Wrongful Termination

The most expensive document most people ever sign without a lawyer is a severance agreement. The second is a non-compete. Members don’t have to guess.

What the plan does for work problems

  • Unlimited consultation — including on situations that started before you joined
  • Document review — severance agreements, offers, non-competes, PIPs and write-ups, up to 35 pages per document, unlimited documents
  • A demand letter from the firm where appropriate — one per matter, plus a follow-up
  • Legal research — up to an hour per matter — and 25% off the firm’s rate if your situation needs representation

The honest part

If you’re the one bringing a claim — wrongful termination, discrimination, unpaid wages — the plan doesn’t litigate the case for you. It arms you: advice, review, letters, research, and a meaningful discount on representation. For most people that’s exactly the difference between guessing and knowing. For some cases it isn’t enough, and Ben will say so.

Common questions

I was just let go and they want the severance signed Friday.

Don’t sign first. Join, call the firm, have it reviewed — that single review typically costs $300–$500 on the open market and it’s included.

Can they really enforce my non-compete?

It depends heavily on your state and the document. That’s a consultation question — and consultations are unlimited.
