My wife and I worked with Chris to purchase a new construction condo. Chris did a great job helping us with all of our questions and making sure everything went smoothly. He was always quick with communications and available for calls. We would happily work with Chris again in the future and recommend him to our friends and family. Thank you Chris for helping us get started on a new chapter of our life journey!!

Tracey Harkins is a fierce and compassionate defense attorney. She is incredibly bright and attentive. We hired her to navigate a family defense case. Finding yourselves in this unimaginably difficult legal battle requires representation that is confident, informed and diligent. Tracey is pragmatic and strong; but she always had time to listen and encourage us. She navigated us to a swift and definitive dismissal. We will always be so grateful to have worked with Tracey and her firm.

Divorce is not an easy road especially when children are involved as well. Jason, Jewel, and Erin have been dedicated and professional to my case since day one. Words are not enough to describe how grateful I am to have them on my side. Communication was always clear- they listened to my needs along with guiding me towards a fair and firm settlement. I highly recommend Jason Barbara & Associates to anyone that is going through divorce. Thank you again for everything!!!!!

Lance was professional and also very accommodating. I felt like he met me where I was and patiently walked me through a very hard time in my life. There were certain principles I wanted to abide by, and even if he wisely advised otherwise the communication was always respectful. He was fair with me and overall I was satisfied having him represent me. Ive since looked for his council again and would in the future if needed.

I suffered a dog bite that could have ended much worse than it did and left me with a scar. I had no insurance at the time and ended up with costly ER bills. I contacted John as I had no idea how to handle this complicated situation on my own. From day one, John was empathetic and reassuring that he'd do his best to help find a proper resolution. From my experience, I can tell he genuinely cares about the well-being of his clients. He was always ready to answer calls and kept me up to date during very complicated times. We recently wrapped up the situation and he was able to reach a resolution that we were both comfortable with. I really can't recommend John enough. If you ever find yourself in such an unfavorable situation as I did, reach out to John.

My wife suffered a traumatic incident in which a neighbor's pit bull dog killed our dog while she was on a walk and pushing our 1 year old in a stroller. We later came to learn that the pit bull dog had attacked another family that same day causing serious injuries. It was truly a horrific time for us not knowing if or how we could ever recover from this event. With John's help, we were able to pursue and ultimately reach a settlement with the homeowner's insurance company for our loss and suffering. John also helped me get the word out to the community, joining me at a neighborhood meeting that was organized to address concerns with dog attacks in the area. John is a true professional. He knows the law and he understands the process by which matters such as ours are resolved. This was tremendously valuable to us. John is honest, diligent, and forthcoming with his opinions yet maintains a steady and remarkable composure when dealing with a case. I am truly grateful that we found John to help us out.

l had to ask a lawyer’s opinion in an emergency situation. I have called and left a message for 5 lawyers l found on the internet. The only person who called back was Bart Kaspero, - he talked to me twice on that first day and gave me advice immediately what l could do at that moment. In a couple of days he got back to me again and asked about the developments in my issue; and then gave me advice again. Mr Kaspero was very attentive and patient. Finally, we talked again couple of days later and Mr Kaspero gave me advice not to spend money on lawyers at this point n time. I was so very grateful to him and after all his work in the last week he actually did not ask for any payments. Mr Kaspero gave me back my faith in people in other professions, and that there are still quality people out there, even when life seems to be very unfair and upsetting. Thank you so very much! Wish people would behave like Bart Kaspero in every profession and the world would be a better place!

He was very well spoken addressing all my concerns and very professional addressing the commissioner, keeping communication straight forward and on point. I also would like to note that the Administrative Assistant was also very kind, helpful, and professional as well. Which helps with making you feel more confident and comfortable despite the circumstances, yet throughout the process.

Attorney R. Davis Younts was indispensable and his dedication to resolving my case was top notch. Mr. Younts represented me in a military case. His ethics, standards, and determination are a cut above and truly professional. Over the last year while my case was pending, he was quick with any questions or problems I had and getting any research needed in very timely manner. Well executed and mannered in the courtroom. I truly felt represented and defended with Mr. Younts. He is very hard working and well spoken. His demeanor and compassion put me at ease in what was a very tense and difficult time. I have zero regrets in reaching out to have Davis represent me in my case and will definitely recommend him. My case was resolved favorably with great thanks to Mr. Younts.

After consulting with Mark Krudys, we hired him to represent my son in a medical malpractice suit. He took on his case when I had almost given up hope on anyone taking it. He listened attentively to everything we said. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He was also kind, considerate, and compassionate. Mark or Anna was always available if we had questions or concerns, never cutting us off short, or making us feel like we were a bother. I just cannot say enough good things about Mark or the Krudys Law Firm. Mark and Anna worked relentlessly to get my son the justice he deserved. I will always be grateful to them, and would highly recommend this firm.

My case is a civil rights one, and I was extremely impressed with Mr Krudys’ knowledge and practicality in a brief phone call. He himself answered the call, which in itself is absolutely above expectations. While I wasn’t thrilled with his opinion (i.e., I’ll likely not win my case for which he gave solid reasons), I appreciated his honesty and practicality. I would absolutely go to him with other matters.

John is an outstanding personal injury attorney with a big heart! I had two car accidents with life-changing injuries involving negligent drivers and felt very lost at the time. I was overwhelmed with medical bills while struggling to get my life back on track. I reached out to John and he agreed to represent me in a heartbeat! He was strategic and attained an excellent outcome that exceeded my expectations. What impressed me the most was John’s determination to achieve the best possible result! He fought hard for my rights and was responsive to my needs, providing not only legal advice but also emotional support during the difficult time. He had the magic touch and superpower to make an initially daunting experience remarkably approachable. From the first phone call I had with John, I felt HEARD! His professionalism and empathy made such a huge difference! He guided me through the entire process, easing my worries and giving clear explanations regarding the legal and insurance procedures. John was also proactive, sharp, and realistic about the strategies for my cases as they developed. He gave me honest counsel that showed the highest standards of ethics and professional integrity. He genuinely cared about my cases and my well-being. I truly felt my best interests were taken into consideration. John was kind and friendly and had a positive attitude. He addressed all of my concerns and made sure that I felt comfortable with every decision and option. He also took his time to explain complex legal concepts and treated even my silliest questions with great patience. He kept constant communication, ensuring I was informed every step of the way. I was fortunate to have an attorney like John who is skilled and reassuring during times of high stress, especially after the car accidents leaving me with serious long-term injuries when I was not at fault. He went above and beyond to advocate for me and helped me through some of the most challenging moments of my life. My only focus was on getting well and receiving the medical treatment I needed. He gave me peace of mind and took care of everything else. Now that John has successfully resolved my cases, I am able to move on with my life and focus on my physical recovery with ease! I am forever grateful for John’s help and highly recommend him to anyone seeking effective, trustworthy, and compassionate representation. You will be in excellent hands. A heartfelt THANK YOU to John!

From start to finish Nick and his team did an excellent job for me. They kept in contact, gave me all the facts and left no stone unturned. Linda and Cynthia made sure I was always informed with the process over an entire year. I told Nick what I wanted to walk away with settlement wise and that’s exactly what happened, and actually a little more! The doctor they sent me to educated me on my injury and gave me priceless information on how to go forward managing my injury which was more informative in 4 hours than the doctors my previous employer sent me to were in 6 months. Make Platt law your first call! Highly recommend!

I had a difficult employment case that was turned down by others because they thought there wasn't enough money in it to be worth it to them. Barbara understood the case and took it for the merits and with the idea of righting a wrong for me. There wasn't a big financial payout in the end but I was given the closure that I needed and after apologizing to her, she assured me that was her end goal for the entire case. It was nice to see a personal and human touch applied to an industry where it can seem so cut throat and greedy.

When I first began working with the Law Office of Priscilla Solario, I had an initial consultation with Attorney Priscilla herself. She was incredibly kind, understanding, and supportive, just like the rest of her team. Her secretary, Christina, was also very organized and helpful, promptly addressing all my questions and concerns. My case involved a child custody matter, and I was naturally anxious about the outcome. Soon after, I was introduced to Attorney Joey Mendoza, who represented me during the court hearings. Joey was extremely easy to work with and very understanding. He made sure every detail was carefully handled to achieve a successful outcome. Thanks to Joey's consistent communication and expertise, we were able to secure sole legal and physical custody, which brought me immense relief. Overall, the entire team at the Law Office of Priscilla Solario was fast, accurate, and efficient. They managed everything, from court filings and hearing dates to mediation, with professionalism. They also consistently monitored and responded to emails immediately, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. I will definitely be using their services in the future and highly recommend them!

Parthasarathy, and their team were warm, empathetic, generous, friendly, efficient, and extremely competent. I honestly couldn't have asked for better legal advice and support! Working with them solved my issues and empowered me with strategies to advocate for myself! I couldn't imagine going anywhere else for legal representation.

Since the first day I was arrested, Ryan was there for me. He was always just a phonecall away, very attentive and caring. He is also very patient. Most of my family spoke Spanish and sometimes didn't understand things but Ryan made sure to always explain multiple times until everyone understood. Inthe beginning, I was so scared not knowing the outcome of this case, but Ryan proved all the facts and evidence in court and made sure I was gonna be ok. Because of him, I was able to get a 2nd chance at life. You truly are an Angel my friend! Thank you so much for everything you've done for me. I highly recommend him and his law firm and I hope I dont need him again but if I ever do, I will be contacting him! He truly is the best of the best! God bless you Ryan!

He is a real person that you can talk to and will explain things you may not understand, and doesn’t make you feel silly about your inquiry.

If NYC chose this woman to be a judge... I thought, gee, I could choose her to be a lawyer. And there are no regrets. Easy going, intelligent, she's a NY City gal, I'm a little upstate, and she went out of her way to meet up when it was important. They don't make them like that, she's a role model in my book.

Accessibility being one of the keys to a good Estate Attorney, Bracha excels in this regard. Communication is another great need personal representatives have of their estate attorney, another Bracha strength. As many Executors flounder over the overwelming tasks of estate settlement, a focus on moving an estate forward is the mark of a good estate attorney. That's Bracha Law.

I have had the privilege of getting to know Bracha and her work and have been quite impressed. Her personable approach and style helps her clients feel comfortable and understood through a difficult process, and makes sure she helps them address even the questions they didn’t know they needed to ask. The straightforward advice and guidance she gave me about handling some of the more challenging planning aspects, like choosing healthcare and power-of-attorney agents, gave me the ability to arrive at the right decision in my own time. If you are seeing a trusts and estates attorney who can understand you and your needs and make sure your planning gets done right, I recommend Bracha.

Kim went above and beyond for me. I was fired unjustly, and we received a settlement. Kim was compassionate and wanted to help me due to her ethical and empathetic nature. Kim took my case, knowing that she may not be commpensated at all. She let me know she wanted to at least stand up to them. If we hadn't reached a settlement outside of court, then she wasn't going to charge me anything. I really am grateful for Kim being there for me.

Never got a call or email to notify me of what was going on. They did win my case but it was a easy win, it was 100% not may fault so. I think on top of the trauma and problems that the accident brought me, they just piled on. Also offered to mail my check faster if I gave a review.....

From the very beginning Matthew Clark made me comfortable with the unfortunate situation I was in and I knew I was in good hands. I have never been through a legal situation before and didn't know what to expect but Matt explained everything to me every step of the way. He was so kind and honest and respectful during a difficult time. He put in a lot of work into my case and paid attention to every detail and often times he would email me back after hours or take phone calls late and that shows that he cared about my peace of mind. The whole team was professional and thorough as well. I would recommend this law firm to everyone because we would not have had the outcome we did if it weren't for them. If you want to be represented by someone that treats you as good as a family member would, then Matthew Clark is who you should hire.

I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Matthew Clark, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From our very first consultation, it was clear that he possessed an exceptional level of expertise and dedication to his clients. Matthew’s professionalism and thorough understanding of the law were evident as he navigated my case with precision and care. He took the time to explain every step of the process, ensuring I felt informed and confident throughout. His ability to break down complex legal jargon into understandable terms was immensely helpful. What truly sets Matt apart is his unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. He approached my case with a strategic mindset, demonstrating a keen eye for detail and a proactive approach. His responsiveness and availability were also commendable; I never felt like just another client but rather a priority. In addition to his legal acumen, Matthew’s compassion and genuine concern for my well-being were palpable. He consistently provided not just legal support, but also reassurance and empathy during a stressful time. Thanks to Matt, I felt supported and confident throughout the legal process, and I am extremely pleased with the outcome he achieved for me. If you are in need of a highly skilled, dedicated, and compassionate attorney, look no further than Matthew Clark. He is truly a standout professional in his field.

I had been been in car accident where the driver was under insured and I had to make claim against my uninsured motorist coverage. My insurance company started jerking me around with unnecessary treatments and less than recommended treatments that were not helping me until my pip coverage ran out then tried to deny my claim all together. That is when I obtained the services of Mr. Clay MacCaslin. He took over and helped me navigate my way through doctors appointments, depositions and taking my insurance company to court. I could not of asked for a better outcome and got my maximum amount I was entitled to for my coverage and now I can get my medical bills paid with a little in my pocket. it has been a long hard road and I am very happy with the results and I would recommend to anyone the services of Clay MacCaslin.

What a Civil Rights Lawyer Can Do for You

A civil rights lawyer focuses on protecting individuals whose constitutional rights have been violated by government authorities, employers, or private organizations. These lawyers specialize in cases involving discrimination, police misconduct, freedom of speech, and other fundamental rights guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution and civil rights laws, such as the Civil Rights Act, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Fair Housing Act.

Whether you've been discriminated against due to race, gender, religion, disability, or other protected characteristics, or you believe your civil rights have been violated by a government entity, a civil rights lawyer can help you seek justice, hold wrongdoers accountable, and secure compensation for any harm you've suffered.

When Should I Hire a Civil Rights Lawyer?

You should hire a civil rights lawyer when your constitutional rights or other protected rights have been violated, and you need legal assistance to seek justice. Some key situations in which you may need a civil rights lawyer include:

  • Employment discrimination: If you have faced discrimination at work based on race, gender, age, religion, national origin, or disability, a civil rights lawyer can help you file claims under laws such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
  • Police misconduct or brutality: If you were the victim of police brutality, unlawful arrest, racial profiling, or other forms of misconduct, a lawyer can help you file a lawsuit for violations of your Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights.
  • Freedom of speech or assembly violations: If your First Amendment rights to free speech or peaceful assembly have been restricted by the government, a civil rights lawyer can represent you in challenging the violation.
  • Housing discrimination: If you’ve been denied housing or faced unfair treatment due to your race, ethnicity, gender, or disability, a lawyer can help you file a complaint under the Fair Housing Act.
  • Voter rights violations: If you believe your right to vote has been unfairly suppressed or you’ve faced discrimination in the voting process, a civil rights lawyer can help you fight for your rights.
  • Disability rights violations: If you’ve faced discrimination in accessing public spaces, employment, or services due to a disability, a lawyer can help enforce your rights under the ADA.
  • LGBTQ+ rights violations: If you've experienced discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity in employment, housing, or public services, a civil rights lawyer can help you pursue legal remedies.

Hiring a lawyer early on can help you understand your legal options and build a strong case to protect your rights.

What Does a Civil Rights Lawyer Do?

A civil rights lawyer provides legal representation and advocacy to individuals whose rights have been violated. Their work can include:

  • Filing lawsuits: A civil rights lawyer can represent you in court by filing lawsuits against individuals, businesses, or government entities that violated your rights.
  • Advocating for policy changes: Civil rights lawyers often engage in advocacy work, pushing for reforms to laws and policies that infringe upon people's rights.
  • Representing clients in discrimination claims: These lawyers help clients file claims with federal or state agencies, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
  • Negotiating settlements: In many cases, civil rights lawyers work to negotiate settlements for their clients before a case goes to trial, securing compensation for damages such as lost wages, emotional distress, or legal fees.
  • Defending freedom of expression: Lawyers may represent clients whose rights to free speech, assembly, or protest were violated by government restrictions or other actions.
  • Handling appeals: If your civil rights case has been decided but you wish to appeal the ruling, a civil rights lawyer can help you through the appeals process.

How Are Civil Rights Lawyers Paid?

Civil rights lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the type of legal work involved. Common payment structures include:

  • Contingency fee: Many civil rights lawyers work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if they win your case. Their fee is typically a percentage (usually 25% to 40%) of the settlement or damages awarded.
  • Hourly rate: For cases that require extensive legal research or litigation, some lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
  • Pro bono or sliding scale: Some civil rights lawyers or organizations may work on a pro bono (free) basis or use a sliding fee scale for clients who cannot afford typical legal fees.
  • Flat fee: In specific cases, a lawyer may charge a flat fee for services like drafting legal documents or filing a complaint.

It’s important to clarify the fee structure during your initial consultation to avoid unexpected costs.

How Much Does a Civil Rights Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a civil rights lawyer varies depending on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the type of legal issue. General cost estimates include:

  • Contingency fee cases: For cases taken on a contingency basis, the lawyer’s fee will typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or judgment awarded.
  • Hourly rates: Many civil rights lawyers charge hourly rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
  • Flat fees: For straightforward legal tasks, such as filing a complaint with a government agency or drafting legal documents, flat fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
  • Pro bono work: Some civil rights lawyers or nonprofit organizations provide free legal representation in certain cases involving important constitutional or civil rights issues.

Be sure to ask for a detailed estimate of costs during your consultation to understand the financial commitment involved.

Top Questions to Ask a Civil Rights Lawyer

Before hiring a civil rights lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they are the best fit for your case. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with civil rights cases?
    Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it’s employment discrimination, police misconduct, or First Amendment violations.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer works on a contingency fee basis, hourly rate, or flat fee, and ask for an estimate of the total cost of your case.
  3. What is the likelihood of success for my case?
    Ask the lawyer to provide an honest assessment of your case, including the strengths, weaknesses, and potential outcomes.
  4. Have you handled cases like mine before?
    Inquire about the lawyer’s experience in cases with similar facts and legal issues.
  5. What is the timeline for resolving my case?
    While exact timelines can vary, ask for an estimate of how long your case may take, from filing to resolution.
  6. Will you handle my case personally?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may work on parts of your case, so it’s important to know who will handle your legal matter directly.

How to Check the Credibility of a Civil Rights Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable civil rights lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:

  • Verify their state bar license: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no disciplinary actions against them.
  • Look for specific civil rights experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in civil rights law and have a history of handling cases like yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
  • Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who can speak to their experience with civil rights cases.
  • Check for advocacy or nonprofit work: Lawyers involved with civil rights organizations, such as the ACLU or NAACP Legal Defense Fund, may have a strong reputation in the civil rights legal community.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a civil rights lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • A detailed account of the violation: Provide a written summary of the events, including dates, times, and any people involved in the violation of your rights.
  • Documentation and evidence: Bring any supporting documentation, such as emails, letters, photos, or video footage that may help prove the violation of your rights.
  • Records of complaints or reports: If you’ve filed complaints with a government agency or reported the violation, bring copies of those documents.
  • List of questions: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes of your case.
  • Information on damages or harm: Be prepared to discuss the harm you’ve suffered due to the violation, such as emotional distress, financial loss, or physical injury.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your case more effectively and get the best possible legal advice on how to proceed.
