Wilson \u00b7 Published October 15, 2026<\/p>\n\n<article lang=\"en\">\n\n\n<p>Can I get a free consultation with an employment lawyer in Florida? Yes. KEW Legal offers a free first consultation for employers and business owners. It is confidential and carries no obligation to continue. This page explains what that meeting covers, how the steps run, and what to bring so the call is useful.<\/p>\n<h2>What the Free First Consultation Is and Who It Is For<\/h2>\n<p>The free first consultation is a confidential conversation with an employment lawyer about a workplace question. It carries no obligation to continue. It is meant for employers and business owners in Florida who face an employee issue and want to know their options.<\/p>\n<p>Common reasons include a firing decision, a discipline problem, a complaint from a worker, a separation, or a gap in your written policies. You might be ready to act, or you might only be trying to understand where you stand.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting looks at the issue and the options. It is not a commitment to hire, and you decide whether to go further.<\/p>\n<p>Employment law for employers is one part of KEW Legal&#8217;s outside general counsel work. The firm serves business owners and investors across Miami-Dade and South Florida, including Broward County. That means a question about a firing can sit next to questions about contracts, leases, or ownership. Florida employers often need both views at once. Kristina E. Wilson is the lawyer. Our support staff handle office administration.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cta-dose-mid wp-block-group has-contrast-color has-surface-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-32197852 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:var(--wp--preset--color--surface,#f2f3f5);color:var(--wp--preset--color--contrast,#22252b);border-radius:8px;padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem;padding-left:1.5rem;padding-right:1.5rem;border-left:6px solid var(--wp--preset--color--cta,currentColor);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a termination, a complaint, or a gap in your written policies has you weighing your next move, you don&#x27;t have to sort it out alone.

A departing employee may hold customer relationships, or an ownership change may affect who the employer is. We look at those links during the call.<\/p>\n<p>Restrictive covenants have formal rules.
