No-cost telephone inquiries are limited to questions that can be
answered without the need for extensive investigation or legal
research. The majority of routine legal questions can be answered
without the need for further legal expense. If your question requires
significant time or research, the attorneys will charge you at their
normal hourly rates.
Labor and Employment Law Hotline
Call 800.334.5390 for quick answers to employment law questions
MPA members may use the Employment Law Hotline for free consultation
with attorneys who specialize in labor and employment law.
MPA has selected the law firm of Butzel Long to
staff the hotline. The purpose of the hotline is to
provide you with free and timely answers to your employment-related
questions. The attorneys are generally able to answer most of your
questions in one phone call. However, if your question requires
significant time or research, the attorneys will charge you at their
normal hourly rates. They will inform you of this up front so that you
may decide whether you want the attorneys to proceed.
Please note that discussing a matter with Butzel Long
will not preclude the firm from representing a person or entity adverse
to your newspaper in an unrelated matter.
