Severance Lawyer McKinney

1. Call Dan Atkerson
Before you sign anything, get legal advice from an employment lawyer known for getting results for working Texans. Dan Atkerson can review the offer, explain your rights, and help you negotiate better terms.

2. Don’t Sign on the Spot
Employers may pressure you to sign immediately. That usually benefits them, not you. You have some time, and it's in your best interest to take it.

3. Buy Time Quietly
Say you need time to review the documents. Avoid mentioning that you plan to hire a lawyer. Keeping things low-key may help preserve negotiation leverage.

4. Keep the Big Picture in Focus
There could be non-competes, vague legal waivers, and other clauses that could affect your next job or your ability to speak out later. Dan Atkerson will help you navigate all terms of the proposed package.

5. Mind What You Say Publicly
Badmouthing your former employer could break your agreement or open you up to defamation claims. Keep all discussion of the matter between yourself and your lawyer.

6. Get Ready to Work Within Deadlines
You typically have 14 to 21 days to sign a severance agreement. In some cases, you might get up to 7 days to change your mind after signing. Mr. Atkerson will help you make sure all action takes place before time's up.
