Many employment attorneys review and advise on severance agreement, for a moderate fee.

Here is MEL's employment lawyer directory:

http://www.myemploymentlawyer.com/directory

I also recommend the lawyer directories at

- National Employment Lawyer's Association (NELA.org);
- California Employment Lawyer's Association and
- WorkplaceFairness.org.

The attorneys on these directories primarily represent individual employees, rather than companies.

Once you find attorneys in your state specializing in employment law who represent employees, check out their:

Website
AVVO.com profile
Lawyers.com profile
LinkedIn profile

AVVO and Lawyers.com providing ratings by other lawyers and clients. Also, Google their name. Google turns up the darnedest things.

Lawyers who publish, speak and write a lot are among the best and most helpful advocates.
