I was offered a severance package after being fired from my job, should I accept it?

Before you ever actually sign any severance agreement, it is critical that you first retain the services of an experienced employment lawyer to look over the exact terms of that agreement. By making yourself better informed as to the potential benefits and consequences of accepting a severance agreement as it currently stands, you can make a decision as to whether it is actually in your best interest to sign the offered severance agreement.
