How to reach WorkRightMatch

You can use this page to contact WorkRightMatch with questions about our free attorney-matching service, our educational resources, or how the process works.

If you want help finding a lawyer, the fastest step is usually to request a free match. We review your request and, when possible, try to connect you with an independent employment attorney licensed in the right state.

WorkRightMatch is not a law firm and is not your lawyer. We do not give legal advice or represent workers. We provide general educational information and help connect workers with independent attorneys.

What WorkRightMatch can help with

Workers contact us about many job problems, including:

• wrongful termination
• workplace discrimination
• harassment
• unpaid wages, overtime, or wage theft
• retaliation after a complaint or after taking leave
• severance questions
• FMLA or disability leave issues

If you are not sure what your problem is called, that is okay. You do not need to know the legal term before you reach out. A licensed attorney can help you understand what claims you may or may not have based on your specific facts.

You can also learn more about our service on How It Works and About.

What happens after you request a match

When you submit a request, WorkRightMatch may use the information you provide to try to match you with an independent employment attorney. Many employment attorneys handle these cases on a contingency fee, which often means they only get paid if the worker recovers money, and many offer a free consultation. Fee arrangements are made directly between you and the attorney.

WorkRightMatch is free for workers. Attorneys who receive requests may pay WorkRightMatch a flat fee for the marketing service.

A match is not guaranteed, and contacting us does not create an attorney-client relationship. Because deadlines for employment claims can be short and vary by state and claim, sometimes as short as 180 days, it is smart to speak with a licensed attorney as soon as you can. You can also read what to expect from a free consultation before you begin.

If you feel scared, unsure, or new to the US

Many workers wait because they feel nervous, embarrassed, or afraid of losing their job. That is common. Taking one small step, like asking for a match, can help you understand your options.

In many situations, workplace rights apply regardless of immigration status. If English is not your first language, you are not alone. WorkRightMatch serves workers across the United States, including immigrants and non-native-English speakers. You can read more about workplace rights for immigrant workers and help for non-English-speaking workers.

Because every situation is different, only a licensed attorney can advise you about your specific case.

Before you contact us

To protect your privacy, keep your message simple. You do not need to send detailed evidence or confidential documents through the site to get started.

It may help to be ready with basic facts such as:

• the state where you worked
• whether you are still employed there
• the main problem you faced
• rough dates of what happened
