How do you define "a ton"? Midway through my career I worked in an employment litigation office, just to sit down with an Associate (capital A) for 30 minutes to an hour, consultations ran from free to quite comparatively affordable considering the cost of going all-in on litigating the affair. If there's talk going on inside the walls of a former employer that could jeopardize someone's career and future earnings potential, I think a consultation at minimum is prudent.
