At first I was very worried that there was no hope for my case or situation. But without fail John has been there every step of the way with me easing my anxiety and reassuring me that he’ll get the best outcome. He’s kind and patient and has taken his time to explain every detail of the case and the defense. He even had a meeting with family members to dismiss their worry. He was very caring and took my case seriously and although I doubted that the case could get dismissed he made that happen. My case was completely dismissed and I could not be more grateful for the work and time Mr. Cromwell has put into this. I had a DUI case that was dismissed. If your looking for a great lawyer to do what’s in your best interest always this is the guy.

After being arrest for a criminal offense and finding myself in a situation that could effect my entire future, I went ahead with the grueling task of having to find legal representation. I went through a few consultations with other lawyers but I felt extremely confident and at ease with Mr. Cromwell throughout the whole process of my case. He keeps a very calm and kind demeanor. This truly helped with my level of stress and anxiety I was going through. Never once did I feel as if he was judging me. He answered my text and calls in a very timely manner and was always available to answer any questions I had. While in court I can see the other attorneys in the room come to him to seek his advice. He got me the best possible outcome and he gave me back my life!! For which I am truly grateful. I recommend John M. Cromwell to anyone that needs a knowledgeable and professional criminal attorney that gets the job done. Thank you John!

Thanks for the support, professionalism, and wonderful advice you gave me throughout this difficult time. You are such an amazing lawyer! Without all your help and incredible legal advice, I would undoubtedly have been in a much more precarious situation. Thank you so much for your support and hard work!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Austin Kaplan and his staff. They are very personable, easily available for questions and procedures, incredibly knowledgeable, and they made a terrible employment experience easy to deal with. I cannot say enough great things about the Kaplan Law Firm.

Andrea was super easy to talk with. She listened to my issues and advised me accordingly. She went to bat for me and intimately got a settlement in my favor against all odds. I highly recommend her services. Hopefully I’ll never need her services again, but if I do I won’t hesitate to call her.

Roy Law Group helped our family win a difficult disability case. We couldn't have managed the amount of work ourselves, so the help was critical and invaluable.

First and foremost, my wife and I are extremely appreciative of the Roy Law Group. They are now family to us and we could not have dealt with the insurance company alone. The people that work for Roy Law Group took us on and walked us through every step of the long process. I wish we could recommend them higher than this review. Our story of "why" we recommend Roy Law Group. My wife suffers from Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) as a result of a horrific automobile accident and epilepsy. At first, her short term employment disability kicked in without any issues. We noticed a change in the disability insurance as my wife's treatments continued past the six month mark. We were told by the insurance company she was not going to receive long-term disability. The insurance company lied stating long-term disability was not selected for her at time of employment. Being she has TBI it was very difficult for her to understand what was happening. I had to do the work to find her original employment signing paperwork showing she had signed up, checked the box, and paid for this service. This was the first time we realized the insurance company was not here to "help" my wife. During this stage we received many complicated paperwork assignments from the insurance company and threats she was going to be dropped from coverage. You could feel the insurance company just wanted us to give up so they could save money. They do not care about your actual wellbeing. We did not give up like they wanted us to do. Months prior to the one year mark the threats became real as the insurance company randomly sent my wife a denial of coverage letter. They gave a ridiculous reason stating they felt she was fine now and was dropping her from long-term coverage again. Mind you, she had only been on long-term disability for a few months. Even though she was still receiving medical services and had multiple doctors stating the opposite. We did not accept the insurance games anymore and looked for help. Thankfully we talked with the Row Law Group. They are amazing people from the start and tell you up front what they will do. No false promises, as they walk you through realistically if they were able or not able to help and why. Luckily for us they saw what the insurance company was doing and had dealt with this same company many times. I love the fact they listen to your situation and you know they are in the fight with you. I have never seen complete strangers be an advocate for the truth and justice like the Row Law Group is. Over the process I could not imagine anyone else doing such an amazing tailored job to our situation as them. We have now had my wife's long term disabilities reinstated and now moving forward the insurance company has to still deal with our protectors the Row Law Group. If you are going through the ringer and fighting with an insurance company over short/long-term disability just stop the stress and fight alone. Don't delay like we did just CALL Row Law Group now. I wish we had called them earlier and my wife would not have had to cry or worry as much during the earliest stages of the fight. Our family is so grateful to the Row Law Group.

I’ve known Shawn for about 20 years. He has been a local bar leader, particularly with organizing legal education events that are mandatory for us lawyers. Shawn has a reputation for his hilarious Business Law lectures at St. Martin’s University, where he’s been an adjunct professor for many years.Shawn’s commitment to zealously represent his clients is legendary. For example, he represented an owner of a sports bar who did not believe the indoor smoking ban was fair or legal. Shawn’s is dogged defense of Frankie, the owner, continued even though client actively broke the law by allowing smoking in his “private club.” The State wasn’t having any of it and closed down the bar.
It’s not always easy to represent folks who deliberately violate the law. These clients are some of the most challenging, as they basically believe their individual rights trump the citizens’ rights to health and safety. Frankie died not long ago, perhaps because his right to smoke killed him.
Shawn Newman is a very bright and creative attorney. He is fearless, thorough and will work until “the last dog dies.” I am honored to be a friend of his.

Aaron not only is great at what he does but also demonstrates tremendous respect and empathy. He helped me with two civil cases as I went through a very difficult time. From the very first time I spoke with him, he was patient and explained to me the process thoroughly, making me feel at ease. Aaron possesses a great wealth of legal knowledge & experience and was also very strategic in handling my cases, winning both cases (which were tricky and challenging). I couldn't appreciate more his professionalism, compassion, integrity, and encouragement along the way. He is not only a great attorney but also an amazing person. I would highly recommend Aaron for those who are in need of legal assistance.

Aaron was everything I hoped when I was looking for a lawyer for a traffic violation. He knew exactly what he needed from me, communicated well, and got right on the problem. We got the outcome we were hoping for, but even if we hadn't (that's how it goes sometimes) I would have been satisfied.

Aaron represented me for 2 moving violations. Once we agreed to work together and I filed for contested hearings, Aaron tracked the process and took care of everything with courts. He got one dismissed and settled the other as a non-moving violation infraction. I hadn't anticipated that working him would make things so easy.

May is without a doubt a top notch lawyer. I never for a moment felt out of my element with legal jargon. Never ended a conversation or visit with questions. And at all times was aware "I" had someone in my corner that treated myself and my wife with the courtesy and concern of someone who actually cared what we were going through. No stone was left unturned in the course of our legal journey together. And I without a doubt, would recommend Attorney Lee to anyone whom asked.

To ask someone to help you fight with you against horrible people is harder.
Blooms form specialises on fighting for survivors of sexual assault. And they doing an amazing work for survivors. They empower you. When I contact them I was broken, and I don’t feel that anymore.
Everyone who take part in my case helped me to begin my healing process. I am so grateful for each and everyone of layers in this firm.

Lisa Bloom is an amazing advocate! From the first time she heard my story she understood what I had gone through and cared about me and making the injustice right. Through the process she was a fierce attorney, looking for any way to help my case legally, while also handling our interactions with empathy and caring seemingly impossible for such a warrior-Princess. She persisted and prevailed and I was incredibly happy with their results.

Lisa is a brilliant attorney and a fierce advocate. She is extremely diligent, detail-oriented and has a unique ability to connect with clients from all different walks of life. She truly understands that the legal process can be one of the hardest experiences in one’s life and her genuine and compassionate approach makes clients feel heard and supported. It is an honor to be able to learn from one of the absolute best attorneys. Lisa has earned her reputation for good reason and I cannot recommend her enough.

I came in for a consultation and Sam listened to me and gave it to me straight. This is exactly what I needed. To understand what I wanted to accomplish and how I may need to compromise. He gave me alternative situations and advised me that I may not get exactly what I was looking for because of my situation. But he also explained that what I was looking could be accomplished down the road if it didn’t work now. The consultation was so informative he even told me I might not even need him and I could do it myself. I knew this going into it. (And was relieved to know he wasn’t just trying to get my money. As I’ve heard other previous horror stories from friends and family when it comes to other Lawyers.) However my other Co-Parent had already hired a lawyer, I wanted the peace of mind Sam brought to the table. Also his firms reputation was nice. And it shined through in his professionalism and timely communication. In the end it went exactly how Sam and I discussed it would happen. In six months I will be 50/50 Co Parent. Thank you Sam!!! And my Son thanks you as well!!!!

I went through a high-conflict divorce that involved false accusations and threats around taking away custody. It was a stressful process, but Sam guided me through it, kept things in perspective, always had a game plan, and somehow managed to add in some humor through it all to lighten the mood. We won literally everything I asked for in court - I'm so glad I trusted him with one of the biggest decisions of my life. Highly recommend.

Sam is great. I would not recommend another family law attorney to anyone. My case was quite extensive and very high conflict. Sam got me a result that I would have never expected. He conducted himself professionally with me and with counsel on the other side and it is easy to see that Sam is highly respected amongst his peers. He was extremely empathetic with my situation and was able to guide me through each issue that arose calmly and professionally. He gave me straight forward advice and never promised me anything that he couldn't deliver. He told me all the risks involved with each path we could take and enabled me to make informed decisions. Sam was able to walk me and talk me through some of the lowest points of my entire life. If you are going thru a family law case and want a fair, reasonable, intelligent, straight shooter that delivers real results, go with Sam.

Marc has been very professional in dealing with my multiple cases, but also knows how to speak as a regular person and not use a lot of “legalese” talk.

I knew I was going to hire marc 10 minutes into our consultation. Ive never been in any sort of legal battle but marc really made me feel at ease. He fought for me! He was super dedicated and made me feel like I was more than just his client! He cared! He answered any question I had and was super attentive to my case. What stood out the most for me was when we had a hearing and instead of taking the easy way out and opening up his computer to start up zoom, he flew down just to do it in person! That shows true dedication! Even the judge said he was extremely impressed. We ended up winning! Thank you marc! Ill forever appreciate you and everything youve done for me!

I was threatened by a company over a negative YouTube video I made to expose some shady business practices. Marc reviewed my case and was immediately on-board to defend me and stand up against this hostile company. Marc's motivation stemmed from his aggressive support of the First Amendment. I didn't know this, but he even helped author NV's Anti-SLAPP laws which would have been the basis of our case. Marc was sensitive to the issue of cost, and we made a deal which worked for me. Additionally, I was impressed by his responsiveness via email to questions and suggestions -- few emails went unreplied after 15 minutes. Bottom Line: During one of the most stressful situations in my life, Marc made me feel relaxed.

I can't begin to articulate how outstanding Troy was. He got my case dismissed which otherwise would have been on my record forever.

He was beyond exceptional in every single way and I will for the rest of my life be so grateful that I had Troy representing me.

We're glad we found Atty. Leduc. My son's case would have been dumped into the deep without any chance of seeing the light. The initial lawyer we hired is just interested of what he gains.

I love this guy.

Mr. Bullman represented me in an :
" ILLEGAL POLICE STRIP SEARCH "
Where I was violated, humiliated and treated like pure trash. I was very terrified afterwards and did not know what to do or who to call to help me. (As I felt helpless) From the moment I called him, He immediately went into action.
He is a Lawyer that actually listens to his clients in a very professional, patient and respectful manner.
HE FIGHTS to WIN!!!!
If you want a lawyer that has YOUR best interest in representation. Look no
further. Because you won't regret it. Mr. Bullman
DOES NOT PLAY!!!
This is what he does and he does it
EXCEPTIONALLY WELL.
HE GETS JUSTICE.
He is the voice for the people.
He was very forthcoming and honest through out the entire process . He did exactly what he said he was going to do and got it done. I am most grateful for his representation. If I could give 10 stars I would.
I highly recommend that you call
Attorney Mark Bullman if you are looking for an attorney that gets desired results.

Mr. Bullman and team were a tremendous help in us trying to get resolution on our breach of contract case. He and his staff were on top of things right from the start. He was also very compassionate about our situation, communicating on a personal level to us that let us know he understood where we were coming from. Overall, I would highly recommend Mr. Bullman if you ever need assistance with contractual law or a breach of contract case. He and his team did a very professional and superb job!

My husband and I are so grateful to Mark Bullman for the manner in which he represented us and our small business recently. After weeks of stressing and in search of the right attorney to represent us, we found Mark Bullman. From my very first conversation with Mark on the matter, I felt a huge relief and knew that we were in good hands. He did not waste any time in providing us with what needed to be done in order to get the ball rolling. Mark is a very kind and genuine person who truly cares about helping you in the way that he knows how. His compassion towards our family during this time has really made a difference in our lives. He is a true professional at all times and excellent at communicating with us during this process and on what we could expect next. Mark defended us so well. It was amazing to see how much knowledge and facts he dropped on the opposing lawyer. He was able to get everything dismissed and lower our settlement cost to a fraction of what was being demanded. I am so happy with the results Mark was able to get us. We cannot thank Mark and Lauren enough for staying on top of our case and being quick and efficient at the same time. Based on our experience, we absolutely recommend Attorney Mark Bullman to defend and represent you and your business matter.

I am a local San Diego civil attorney and I strongly recommend Peter Mesich as your attorney to handle any criminal or civil matters. He has personally represented my family members and friends over the past year - each receiving either an early dismissal, not guilty result or a very favorable resolution. He is the lawyer's lawyer and the guy a lawyer like myself turns to when friends or family are in need of representation.
He works very hard on his cases and he "runs out the groundballs." In a recent case he handled for me just last month, he contacted the police, county witnesses, experts and all witnesses even before the first Court hearing. He was thus more prepared than the seasoned prosecutor at the very first hearing!
You cannot go wrong with Peter as your attorney.

Peter was a guiding light for me during a very nerve wracking period. I received a misdemeanor and a potentially steep fine, and did not know where to turn. Peter came very highly recommended and was a real savior. He took total control of the case and made himself readily available at any time. He worked tirelessly to have the charges minimized to a much more acceptable fine with no other repercussions. Peter handled the whole case in the most professional and up front manner. There would be no one else that I can think of in the San Diego area that I would rather turn to than Peter. Thank You!!!

Peter was an absolute life saver to me. I had not dealt with DUI issues before, so when this all began, I knew I needed a good attorney. I originally liked the fact that Peter had been a prosecutor before working as a defense attorney. My case was a bit complicated, but after I got into the process, I did see that Peter made a great difference. When I was working out the consequences of my DUI, I saw that other people with the same BAC that I had were assigned to the nine-month program at OHS. In addition, the same people that were assigned to the 9-month OHS program were assigned 14 days of the Work Project Program - I would have lost a lot of income if I had been subjected to such lengthy programs ! I was given three months of OHS classes and only 4 days of the Work Projects Program. That is an amazing testament to Peter's skill !! Before my Arraignment, Peter indicated to me everything I needed to do to get a reduced sentence, and I did all of it. I didn't want to bug Peter too much while the case was in process, but I did waste some money on bail bonds because I hadn't contacted him... I could have been out on my own recognizance !!!! Peter will help you immensely; keep calling him about those minor details, he won't mind. He would prefer to do a great job for you. That is way his service is a great investment.

If you are looking for a Lawyer that cares about you than the money. You should hire “Bubba Head “. I had hired another Attorney that gave me little to no hope of winning my case. After a pre- consultation with Mr. Head. He gave me free advice to help assist my Attorney. Upon realizing Mr. Head’s expertise. I decided to release my Attorney and hire him. Mr. Head went to bat for me and had my charges reduced to a lesser offense. Mr. Head is one of the hardest working Attorneys out there and he will work hard for you. In closing , Mr. Head I just want to say thank you. I will never be able to to express my gratitude.

You will not find a more experienced attorney who will get you the best possible outcome in your case than Bubba Head. A very well respected attorney in Atlanta referred me to him for my personal injury claim resulting from being rear ended in a car accident. My case was complicated and Bubba knew how to navigate through the multiple layers. Ultimately, Bubba wrote a masterful Holt demand letter that included all of the details of the incident and resulted in the company granting our full request. Besides being the most competent attorney you can hire he is the most compassionate attorney you will find. He understood the nature of my injuries as well as the associated stress of the accident and was supportive throughout the process of my recovery.

I was referred to William Head because I am out of state- I could not have been more pleased. I am young, had many questions and was very concerned. He treated me as a person, not just another case. I knew he wanted the best for me. He was very supportive and encouraged me in life situations as well as legal situations. He met with me and explained everything to me in detail and told me step by step what I needed to do to make sure my case was handled. He followed up with me after the case just checking on me, still encouraging me to do the right thing. William Head was very personal, professional and I could not be more pleased with the way my case was handled. I am so appreciative and would refer anyone to him!

Peter worked with us over the course of several years as we sought desperately needed out of district placement for our two sons. Peter is extremely knowledgeable and deeply experienced. He has a wonderful sense of justice for kids and knows how to get the results children deserve. Peter is a wonderfully effective minimalist. He never clocked in unnecessary hours and always considered his own fees as part of the decision making process at each step. He was open to our contributions as time and cost saving measures. He was able to guide us through complex education law with clear explanations. Because he was always the clear thinking in the room, he was also able to point out where and when the school system was trying to pressure, manipulate, and gaslight us and our children. Not only did he help us place our kids at the schools that ensured their successful transition to college, he also gifted them a sense of justice. School systems can really beat down a kid's sense of confidence. By "winning," Peter helped restore our kids' knowledge that they deserve an appropriate education (like everyone else) and, when they get it, they can thrive. We are forever grateful for Peter's wisdom, legal talents, and his righteous drive to make schools do right by children.

I am a Chinese national who recently moved to the United States. Due to my unfamiliarity with American traffic laws, I once failed to stop in time when I saw a police car with its sirens blaring. At the time, I didn't have an Indiana driver's license, and due to a language barrier, the police arrested me and charged me with attempting to use a vehicle to escape—a felony in Indiana.
Fortunately, I met ROY, a very friendly and understanding lawyer who took the time to talk to me about other things to make me feel better. He advised me to get a driver's license, which I promptly did. At my first court appearance, ROY explained my situation in detail to the prosecutor, emphasizing that it was a misunderstanding. The prosecutor accepted this explanation and dismissed the charges.
The entire process went very smoothly, and I didn't receive any punishment. ROY's fees were also very fair; I ended up spending much less on legal fees than I had anticipated. I highly recommend ROY, and I will certainly refer my friends to him if they encounter similar problems in the future.

Roy is there when you need him. He is patient, honest and makes himself accessible. He will assess your situation and give you accurate information about how he is able to help your situation. He’s aggressive and works for your best interest and outcome. He tells you upfront about his fees, which are extremely affordable and then doesn’t come back for more later on. I would use him again if necessary.

To start, I have to thank God for allowing me to collide with this amazing attorney. Mrs. Jorie is very diligent and specific in her work. She takes no short cuts and she is very informative in the entire process. From start to finish, she was able to guide me through the process and calm any anxiety down regarding if I would be successful in the court process. I would like to thank her very much for treating with the utmost respect. She is definitely the true definition of integrity in this field and I wouldn’t have had it better with anyone else in this practice.

We had a situation where the Mother withheld contact from the Father. Amber helped in giving voice to our concerns with the Mother's criminal record, bizarre augmentative behavior and association with recent violent felons. In the end, with Amber's help, the Father did obtain primary residence for the good of the child.

Unfortunately I’ve needed to hire Brian on a few charges I received in different counties and have never felt judged or embarrassed about my charges. Amy is completely wonderful and always answers my questions and has talked to me like she cares and is truly concerned about my cases. She’s funny too! If Brian isn’t available to talk or answer questions I know that Amy is available. I highly recommend this firm! You will get the attention needed in your case without feeling embarrassed about your case or what led to your charges. Hands down great firm!

Mr Polinske was very straight forward and showed a excellent knowledge of the process that would be followed in my case. In our first phone call he described in detail how my case would progress and the timeframe he laid out for the case was right on the money. I had tried to contact two other attorneys but never heard from them. Mr Polinske returned my call the same day that I first called. He and his staff remained responsive the entire time until the dismissal of my case. I would not hesitate to call him again if his services were required.

I was falsely accused of a felony sexual assault and struck with absolute horror at what that would mean for me and my family. While I knew I was innocent I worried what a charge would do to my future even if it was beaten. I was unable to sleep, disoriented and anxiety-ridden. If you are finding yourself in that state I can assure you that you are putting yourself in good hands by reaching out to Joe Scrofano. I was given confident, competent advice at every step along the way. He managed to guide me through a well thought out plan and keep me informed throughout its execution. I was made aware of every possible outcome when faced with choices even when those possibilities were difficult to hear. Communication of these touchy subjects was always handled with the utmost professionalism and compassion. I am extremely thankful to report that after following the advice of Mr. Scrofano and having him work on my behalf no charges were brought against me. I cannot stress enough how trustworthy he is. My life was quite literally in his hands and I am forever grateful to have found him.

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:
-
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. -
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. -
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. -
Have you handled cases like mine before?
Inquire about the lawyer’s experience in cases with similar facts and legal issues. -
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. -
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.
