My great appreciation to the quality of legal service that Halperin Law Center provided to me. For the last 15 years I reached Mr. Halperin for legal help and representation 3 times. At the end all engagements were straight win for my family. Mr. Halperin has unique combination of being friendly, easy to communicate with and at the same time following all formal rules of the law practice. Halperin Law Center is the hub of the legal experts. They do carry years of progressive professional experience, hands-on dealing with many different legal situations of their clients.
When a time in life comes when you need to be protected or justice needs to be restored then you need the power and strength on your side. In America knowing a great lawyer, doctor, plummer, auto mechanic will bring you the peace of mind and confidence.
I know Mr. Halperin for many years and it makes me feel safe and ready for unexpected.
Thank you,
Roman

Jonathan Halperin and his team have been representing me for quite a few years now. Jonathan took on a case that most lawyers would never even consider due to the complexity and sensitivity of the matter. The day that Jonathan took my case was a life changing day for sure. He has been nothing but incredible throughout every step of the legal process. He has treated the case with the respect it deserves and he knows what he is doing. Not only is Jonathan an amazing man to know, he is an absolutely incredible lawyer. I am beyond appreciative of everything he has done for me and continues to do for me. He is a fighter, and I don't foresee him ever giving up on me and my case. Thank you Jonathan, you have helped me in so many more ways than you will ever know.

I had a bad injury at work when I was only 19 years old. My life was turned upside down. Seven different attorneys refused to take my case, but Jonathan believed in my case and in me. I was so happy to finally have someone who would fight for me. Jonathan never gave up and he was always available to me and my family. I trusted Jonathan with my case, and he got justice for me and provided for my financial future. I can now move on with my life and look forward to what lies ahead.

Matt Ferguson, Michelle Schindler, and their team are great to work with. They provided professional, strategic, and aggressive representation to our firm in a complex, multi-faceted case.

Jeff Dean is absolutely one of the best lawyers that we have worked with and hired. He handled our entire case with professionalism and conducted himself in such a wonderful manner, he treated us like we were family, he kept us updated regularly and kept us optimistic, he went above and beyond his job role and he's one you can trust. His manner in the courtroom made a huge impression because he was so well spoken and presented the evidence in such a respectful way and he actually made the other attorney look like a clown. We will definitely use Mr. Dean for anything we may need in the future. He's always kind, greets you with a smile, calm, centered, and knows his stuff. A+ Attorney in our opinion.

Mr. Dean worked over the course of 5 years on my vehicle accident case, through many problems and issues brought about by the defendants attorney. Mr. Dean kept me informed and well educated on all of the issues. He was caring, took a lot of time to listen to any concerns and worries I had, and always had my best interests at heart. He presented a wonderful case to the jury, in a way that was easily understood, no grand standing. He showed the jury the person I am. I will always be grateful to Mr. Dean for his professionalism and kindness, along with his professional staff. He was always available for any questions I had. I couldn't have been in better hands with any other attorney.

At first I was apprehensive about consulting any lawyers whatsoever, but Mr. Dean completely changed my opinion of legal consultation. He was responsive, honest, helpful, and understanding. His law firm literally changed my life for the better. The results were even better than what I was hoping for. I highly recommend this law firm if you're ever considering legal help. You will not be disappointed.

What a class act! Not just a phenomenal Attorney, Frank Polek is an outstanding human being. Mr. Polek successfully represented me in a case that was challenging and highly emotional for me. He literally took every ounce of anxiety away from me, was extremely persistent in my position and never backed down from the truth. In the end, it was a victory for me.
I could never thank Mr. Polek enough for his representation and handling my case as he did. Extremely professional and knowledgeable. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Polek to anyone who needs legal assistance.

When a competing company plagiarized my company's website, I didn't know where to start. I was fortunate enough to find Frank and he went to work on my case right away. He was very knowledgeable, provided reassurance and advised me of my options along the way. Frank was able to settle the dispute and protect my company's intellectual property. I especially appreciated how he would follow up with me on a regular basis and was able to translate the complexities of copyright law into terms that I could understand. I hope that I do not need an attorney anytime soon, but if I do, I will definitely be contacting Frank again!

Kirk was an extremely great attorney.Kirk won the case for me.I could not have had any better representation in my case. The only problem was the jury selection was not good, the jury didn't understand the clear directions they received from the Judge. I believe that false accusations of racism swayed the jury against awarding damages due to me.The City of KCMO which were the defendants have never addressed the acts of retaliation against me and continue to look away from any of their problems in Management.

Met Paul Schwartzman at my towns Senior Center in which they have lawyer services. My family was in need of estate planning due to my wife's terminal cancer. Paul was kind, sympathetic and was eager to help us. He demonstrated that he was more than capable to handle our situation and was very knowledgeable with the subject matter. I could tell right away that he had the experience to do the job and hired him immediately. Paul is honest, good communicator, reliable, understands how to solve problems, responsive, analytical, researches if he does not know the answer, great listener and can quickly adjust to any situation that may come up and resolve it in a timely manner. I would not hesitate to hire him and highly recommend him for all legal matters.

David Fiol represented me for a personal injury claim and I was very happy with the service I received. I was very seriously injured and had a long recovery period with several surgeries. It was a very difficult time for me, but after starting with David I soon felt confident that I was in good hands and could stop worrying about my injury claim and could focus on my rehabilitation. David did a very thorough investigation and even managed to located witnesses in the area where the injury had occurred. My case was difficult and took some time to settle. I was kept well informed about the progress of the case and each step of the process was fully explained to me. I found David to be a very pleasant and considerate person to work with. I was satisfied with the settlement I received and glad that I was able to avoid the stress of going through a jury trial. I would definitely recommend him.

David represented me after a terrible accident that killed my dog. I was given his contact by a good friend and am so lucky that I was connected with him. He is one of the most compassionate, tenacious, and knowlegeable lawyers I have met. He was very clear in his recommendations, course of action and through his detailed and tireless actions, even got me a very fair settlement. I would recommend him without hesitation.

I hired David to represent me in a personal injury case after I was in a bad car accident. I am an attorney myself, though in a different practice area, and found David to be professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable. My injuries were fairly difficult to value, and he discussed this thoroughly with me and made sure I understood both the risks and potential benefits of various options. I definitely felt like David did an excellent job balancing my needs and the practicalities of the case and giving me the information I needed to make decisions. I was very pleased with the outcome of the case, and found the legal process quite painless thanks to his excellent representation.

Richard Taussig is a great lawyer. I learned a lot about the truth of the law from him. He managed to win the case via a settlement, which to me, and in this circumstance was a win. It was a year and a half long battle. Richard walked me through it all and explained everything every step of the way with no hesitations. The corrupt company held strong dislike towards me which was purely out of spite, jealousy and from me exposing the corruption within their company. Richard was up against a very ugly group. Richard defended my case through and through. The highly corrupt company gave up and agreed to settle. I was given great support and respect from Richard Taussig throughout the ordeal. It was a tedious process, and a very stressful one due from the emotions of getting framed wrongfully. I would recommend working with Richard Taussig. He is a very considerate, intuitive, intelligent, observant person and knows how to win a case for the good guys, because he is an honest, good guy.

My experience with C.W. Goodroe (Christopher) was positive from the start. Being new to litigation of any kind, I had no idea what to expect of the process. Chris was informative and answered my many questions. He explained the entire process, what I should expect, and was clear on the timeline. Communication was excellent and he always returned my calls or emails promptly as well as calling or emailing when he said he would. I also appreciated that he explained all possibilities and let me decide what I wanted to do, even though I most commonly went with his advice. Chris is determined, confident, and not easily intimidated, so I felt very sure that my case was handled with the best outcome possible. I highly recommend his services.

I was referred to Jason through another attorney and let me tell you, I could not be more pleased. He did an amazing job helping me get guardianship for my 55yr old brother. I had been trying for a few yrs to get this task accomplished.
Jason is very professional and compassionate, he truly understands how family's feel going through this rather tedious ordeal. Jason knows exactly what the courts need for all date sensitive documentation. He was always willing to help with calling the Dr. or going to pick up documents for me if need be.
My brother and I are very pleased that its completed and safely filed away. I would highly recommend Jason to friends and family!
Thank you again Jason!!

I don’t know what we would have done without Jason. My husband and I hired Jason to help us obtain guardianship for our disabled daughter who turned 18 years old this past December. From our initial meeting to help us understand what the guardianship process entailed, to our last meeting in court, Jason was an amazing resource and always so patient and understanding…no matter how many questions I had. My husband and I thought the final court appearance would be a simple formality, but unfortunately, we had a rather cold judge who made it a very unpleasant experience. Thanks to Jason’s calm, knowledgeable and professional demeanor with this judge, we were granted guardianship. We would highly recommend Jason as an attorney who is extremely smart, kind, and professional!

I am the representative payee for my adult disabled son. After five years of my son being disabled and collecting disability, his Doctor and I received a form to fill out for a medical review to see if he was "still disabled." I filled this out perfectly describing my son's day to day life and impairments. Although I am a medical professional, obviously I did not do this as well as I perceived as just before Christmas 2014, we received a notice stating my son was no longer disabled and his disability payments would stop in two months. Social Security was not at all helpful and gave me the run around re: the appeal process. Sometimes Social Security employees were not nice or helpful. I knew we needed help. I researched disability attorneys and found Jason. All I can say is "Thank God." He met with both of us and asked questions about my son's disability and symptoms. My son and I provided all the answers to the review to him however Jason worded it in the manner that SSDI requires, unlike what I had done in the previous summer. He was kind, patient, and understanding. There were a few times when my emotions got the better of me, "How can they do this to us?" These were the times when Jason stood behind us and helped us stand on our own two feet. He directed us in following the instructions on the appeal as they are not easy to understand, Jason understood exactly what they were and explained them in a manner that was both understandable and helpful, never degrading. On May 6th of this year, I received the notice from disability stating that after reviewing all the information, they found my son to continue to be disabled, therefore there was no need for a hearing. Of course I would prefer my son to not be disabled. However it is what it is and I do not even want to think of how awful this denial could have been without Jason. I wish I had known him and used him to initially get disability for my son back in 2009 as that process was not pleasant and took three denials/appeals. I definitely could not have done this without his help! My husband and I are now going to be using Jason for estate planning and our wills.

I was involved in an accident circa 2016, my vehicle was deemed a total loss. This was at a time I was busy and constantly out of town, so I had no time to deal with all the administrative matters on the back end. I found out about Wickman & Wickman through a colleague and immediately contacted here. They quickly took over the case and were able to resolve even though I was out of office or town routinely. I recommend them for anyone who experiences a situation similar to this.

Tom represented me in a very important case that made its way to law reviews and judicial news. His bravado, checked by gentle explanations, proved instrumental in our appeal case. He agreed to take over for another attorney that was originally assigned, that was doing absolutely NOTHING to aid me. From the time Tom came on board, a glimmer of hope returned. In the end, we soundly prevailed.

I retained, Attorney Joel Huotari of WilliamsMcCarthy law firm, for what turned out to be a challenging and lengthy civil case. From our first meeting, he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions. Joel is an exceptional attorney, who handled my legal matters with the professionalism, integrity, and responsiveness that attains results. He provided sound guidance and devised a strategy that ultimately ended in a positive outcome. He truly cared about my feelings and was very supportive during this emotional time. A kinder. more dedicated attorney will be hard to find, if not impossible. Joel is an attorney you can always depend on.
I would highly recommend this firm, and more specifically, Attorney Joel M. Huotari, if you're looking for a superior litigation attorney who brings top-notch expertise to the table. My gratitude to him will last a lifetime!

I was arrested for concealed carry charges and Don did a wonderful job to help me get the best deal. I was going to be convicted of felony in Santa Clara county. Don spoke with the DA and I recieved a deal on my first court date. I was originally going to get a felony but it was reduced to a misdemeanor with court probation for two years and no weapons for 5. He still helps me to this day with anything and everything pertaining to my case. I am in the process of getting my record cleared. If your having trouble with any gun related offenses I would give his office a call. He's just an all around great lawyer.

Professional, empathetic, and a relentless advocate, Naomi took hold of my case and rid my life of an extremely detrimental problem.
It's cliché but true: sometimes the mistakes of the past come back to haunt us. And after making a stupid mistake when I was 19 and being arrested, pleading no contest, completing my sentence, having my record expunged by the court, and staying out of trouble for 20 years, my record resurfaced. So much for expungement.
A friend recommended I see Naomi. She listened intently, asked insightful and pertinent questions, and learned all she could from me. She tracked my 20-year-old case down (no small feat I'm told) and then came back with even more information from the court so she knew every inch of my dilemma.
She gave me multiple options, guided me through her process, explained why she was choosing the route she was, walked me through possible outcomes, and kept me updated every step of the way.
I'm happy to say she made the expungement stick this time. I'm no longer burdened by the dumb mistake I made and do not have to worry that my record might still be out there in the ether somewhere. I would highly recommend Naomi to friends, family and colleagues who need an attorney.
Thank you, Naomi!

I usually don’t write reviews but I felt I have to about Mark. I hired Mark Morenz-Harbinger to help settle a complicated will and trust of my parent’s estate. I am not quite sure how to review Mark, other than to say thank you. He helped me when I couldn’t help myself. He had compassion for me when I couldn’t form sentences without crying—and he spoke up and fought for me.
Mark’s ability to listen and decipher my devastating story gave me hope. So, I just want to write to thank him for his patience and perseverance...and most of all thank you for your knowledge of the LAW. I appreciate all of his hard work.

I made the difficult decision to pursue divorce after a long-term marriage. I knew I was vulnerable on many fronts, particularly financial, and I needed a knowledgeable and strong advocate who would lead me through the process. I am so thankful that Attorney Koufman was at my side. Attorney Koufman was thorough and dedicated to my best interests and those of my children. Attorney Koufman cared about my well-being. Attorney Koufman is a man of high ethical standards and this is very important to me.
Attorney Koufman worked diligently on my divorce and I did not experience any delays. Attorneys Koufman and Garand worked together on my case. Each lawyer took a personal stake in my outcome. I received the attention of two attorneys at every hearing and meeting, and I only paid for one. Attorney Garand was very aware of my needs, which were difficult for me to articulate given the stress of divorce. My outcome was favorable. I'm very grateful that I didn't have to sell my house and my son and I can remain living at the only home he has known.

I had never been arrested or needed a criminal attorney before, so I had no idea who to call. I was recommended to the Duffy Law Group by a trusted friend. Who is a man of integrity and honesty.
I trusted his advice, spoke with Felice Duffy and then met with Attorney Smith. He was great to work with; very professional, helpful and down -to -earth. He walked with me through this whole ordeal.
I am so pleased with Attorney Smith and this firm. The charges against me, were greatly reduced.
I highly recommend them.

From the first day we started working with Mark he was completely honest and candid about what he could or couldn't do. He also had an air about him that showed he was confident in his ability and presented his record of success but also failures. You have to be confident to be able to do this. He gave us an overview of the process to have our child placed in a private academic site. This was great because before working with Mark we had no idea of what to expect. Setting expectations was something that he does extremely well. I went to several meetings with Mark and he was always listening and asking questions which shows he was trying to get a command of his facts before speaking. There was no grandstanding involved in his approach. When he spoke it was for a purpose. When it was time for him to speak he held the room and he was direct. And when he needed to he was AGGRESSIVE, precise and fought for my son in a way that I never could have. Mark also has relationships that extended beyond our case that actually helped him to understand all parties involved and strengthen our argument. I never felt like he didn't have control of the situation. He also worked very well with the all of the therapists that were to be involved with our case. All of our therapists said they had heard of Mark and that he was good. If we had any questions, he made time to call, text, email or use any other method just to keep me calm. This made a difference. He also helped me understand there are certain things I should and shouldn't say about our son when asked by the opposing attorney. I should also point out Mark was never late and he always stayed afterwards to have frank discussions with me. In the end my son got everything he needed and more. Mark made sure everything was in writing and properly managed. He even set up a meeting that I couldn't get with the private school. I would have to rate mark as being outstanding.

My family hired Mr. Martin to represent our son in a case against the Baltimore County School system. Our son recently moved from a public school to a private school because of his learning disabilities. Although BCPS was aware of his issues, they denied him services for 2 years which resulted in our son falling two years behind in his education. After consulting with Mark about our case, we were more than confident that we had found the right attorney for this type of law suit. Mark came highly recommended to us and his past work on cases like ours only made us feel that we were definitely going in the right direction. Mark and his staff were extremely professional and efficient. Within months we were on our way to Mediation. Because of Mark, we settled at mediation and were reimbursed by Baltimore County Schools for our sons tuition. I don't think we would have had the outcome we did unless we had Mr. Martin and his office on our side. We could not ask for a better outcome or a better attorney.

I was hit by a car on foot last year and their staff has helped me the whole way as far as keeping me updated and sending me to the right places for treatment. Teresa, Bella, Christina, and Nagelberg were very responsive to all my questions and concerns. They charge a less percentage compared to other attourneys . They hold your hand through the process but respect you by providing accurate information on your case and touching base. I would definitely reccomemd them to a family member or friend !

They treated me great. I was rear ended by a semi when I was 17, and became a quadriplegic. They flew to Texas and became my lawyers and friends. Kurt and Larry are great people on general and amazing lawyers. They took less of a % than any attorney in Texas would have, and by the time we settled with the insurance company, got me more than any lawyer in Texas would have. Highly recommended!

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.
