Severance Packages

Often individuals receive a severance package and they either don’t know whether it is fair, what the confusing legal jargon means, or whether they have any other options. They feel compelled to sign immediately out of fear or even intimidation. The attorneys at O'Hara, Taylor, Sloan, Cassidy, Beck, PLLC can provide you with the assistance needed to negotiate the best deal for you. Our attorneys can help you to understand exactly what you are giving up by accepting the severance package and what other options you may have.
