FORTIS EMPLOYMENT LAW

Black Geometric Design

Introducing Fortis Flex™

Most Maryland firms demand a massive upfront retainer or bill you by the hour. We don’t.

​

We replaced the traditional legal retainer with Fortis Flex™—a subscription-based litigation model built for professionals like you.

​

By combining a flat fee with a success fee that "flexes" base on the stage of your case, we focus entirely on one thing—winning your case.

STAGE 1 / NEGOTIATION

$300 every two weeks + 30% success fee

For professionals seeking a swift settlement without the public spectacle of a lawsuit.

OBJECTIVE

Leverage your claims to secure a settlement or enhanced severance package immediately.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

  • Drafting and serving a high-impact legal demand to your employer.

  • Settlement communications and tactical counter-offers handled by your lead attorney.

  • Professional review of your documents, emails, and timeline to build your "leverage folder."

  • We cover all internal legal research and administrative costs.

STAGE 2 // EEOC/MCCR

$600 every two weeks + 35% success fee

For cases requiring the weight of the EEOC or Maryland Commission on Civil Rights (MCCR).

OBJECTIVE

Force your employer to defend their actions under the scrutiny of state or federal investigators.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

  • We draft and file your sworn Charge of Discrimination/Retaliation with the EEOC or MCCR.

  • We cover any agency filing fees and process server costs.

STAGE 3 /// COURT

$900 every two weeks + 40% success fee

Total vindication. We take the fight into the judicial system to win at trial or force a massive settlement.

OBJECTIVE

Leverage your claims to secure a settlement or enhanced severance package immediately.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

  • Drafting, filing, and serving the formal Complaint in Circuit or District Court.

  • We manage the grueling process of interrogatories, document production, and evidence gathering.
