I hired Mr. Baruch to represent me on an appeal and he is an exceptional attorney. Mr. Baruch kept me informed about the process and what he was doing on my behalf. I would hire him again and would recommend him to any of my friends in need of an attorney.

At a time that i was lost in a sea of confusion and emotional pain over the sudden death of my ex wife and the loss of our daughter to the family courts for "best Interest" as i would move her away from school and friends to live with me in Florida, our daughter was placed with a man not her father who not only has a record for violence on my ex wife but also a record for neglect/abuse on this very child. It was at this time that a friend who knew what i was going through and how many attorneys had been involved recommended Mr Baruch.
It was a breath of fresh air as i was beginning to think very poor thoughts about the whole legal system here was a man with ethics and obvious legal knowledge-he made no promises and only spoke to the facts of the case, his empathy for his clients shows through in every phone call and message- all done with a steel like determination to do the right thing. I know from my experience that in Mr Baruch I finally have a counselor that will fight to the end for my families right to be together in peace .

I was involved in a horrible car accident where another driver ran a red light and T-boned my side of the car. Unfortunately it was a “he said she said” case with no witnesses. We had to sue. I am so grateful for John Anderson, he helped me prepare my case and prepare for court and ultimately win both lawsuits with my insurance company and the underinsured driver’s company. We were awarded the full settlement in both cases. I know 100% this would have never happened without him. I highly recommend John Anderson for anyone needing a lawyer!

I contacted Chris asking for some advice on political project I am working on. Instead of asking for a retainer and contract, he was kind of enough to provide some free advice and let me know he would take a look if I need some additional help in the future. I will definitely be using Chris in future if I need further legal advice.

I served as campaign manager for Deb Fischer for U.S. Senate and Chris provided legal counsel to the campaign. He did a great job of answering my questions in a clear and timely manner. It was particularly refreshing to have a lawyer who was very responsive to email or phone calls. He almost always returned emails or calls within an hour, which is very helpful in a hectic political campaign. I would strongly recommend him to someone looking for attorney.

I had a free hour long phone consultation with Mr. Donham. He is very pleasant, informative, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I decided not to pursue with my case after he put the ball in my court to think and discuss it over with family. He was very attentive, understanding and caring. He seemed to care more about his client than he was to make a quick buck from the suffering. The receptionist was extremely pleasant and friendly. The "My Case" portal was extremely easy to use, safe and liked. I would highly recommend this firm.

Jonathan was referred to me by a friend. He was very attentive, answered all my questions in a promptly manner, and was able to examine at the evidence that I provided and built a great case for me. Most importantly, he acted in the best of my interest and provided great counsel in my case. I highly recommend him and will definitely come back to him again in the future if I have any legal questions.

Jonathan Vogel is an outstanding attorney who communicates well and cares about his clients. His strategy is quite versatile: he can take an aggressive or low-key approach depending on what the situation requires. He is incredibly well-versed in the law, and he will take time to thoroughly research and understand your case so he can be a fierce advocate for you. He listens to his clients and puts their priorities first.
My case was very complicated. It involved many individuals and classes at a large university, but he was quick to sort out the important details. Less than three weeks after taking my case, everything was resolved in my favor, and he didn’t even use the entire retainer! I highly recommend Jonathan Vogel for any educational issue. He will represent you well.

Jonathan worked with me while dealing with a code of conduct issue at my college. He was extremely supportive, hard-working, and thoughtful during the time we worked together to navigate the judicial process at my school. Thanks to Jonathan's efforts, the issue was resolved in my favor.
I highly recommend Jonathan to any student who needs support protecting his or her rights-- I could not have hired a better attorney.

Fox & Fox is a go-to law firm with an exceptional reputation, one earned client-by-client through belief and hard work. They have helped me and they have helped my friends. While they have succeeded in achieving the hoped for outcomes, they have been equally successful in tending to the emotional lives of the folks they represent. Resolution can mean many things and they understand and deliver on all aspects of it. I am grateful for what they have done for me and for others.

In 2014, my wife was notified by company management that her position within that company was going to be phased out. This was after she had completed almost three decades of dedicated professional service. The severance package and motive for termination made no sense to us so we decided to seek legal advice.
I was retired from Twenty Eight years of employment within the Criminal Justice System and knew many attorneys but not the attorney best suited for this type of civil litigation.
I made three separate inquiries, independent of each other about a lawyer or firm that we should seek out to best resolve this issue. They were a 1. RETIRED CIRCUIT COURT JUDGE 2. RETIRED ASSITANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY 3. PRACTICING ATTORNEY OF A NOTABLE LAW FIRM.
All three of these individuals without hesitation stated Mike Fox. (MICHAEL R. FOX, FOX & FOX, S.C.)
Our first meeting with Mike involved a detailed work history and any circumstances that may have led up to her termination at her place of employment. Mr. Fox detailed the possible remedies that we could seek and also what he believed to be both the merits and the negative possibilities involved in litigating this case to its conclusion.
We were advised by Mr. Fox at the inception of this case that it may not be resolved for several years. During this entire period of time, Mr. Fox kept us updated regarding the status and progress of the proceedings minimizing the negative emotional impact the termination and the case itself would have on our lives. He could make us laugh when we were down or felt the legal system was tedious and unresponsive. We learned to trust Mr. Fox and his legal skills completely and our trust was well placed.
Mr. Fox’s representation far exceeded our expectations. He could talk to us on a very personal level, putting aside the legal speak but he was dogged and fearless in his pursuit of our welfare.
I would have no hesitation nor would my wife of highly recommending Attorney Mike Fox or his firm to represent anyone interested in the pursuit of a satisfactory resolution to any type of civil litigation.
Respectfully,
M.Bradley

Though I was not proud to need Attorney Thomas's services for an OWI 2nd, he really helped put me at ease during the process. Explained everything perfectly and there were never any surprises during the process. As a lawyer, I felt he was really in my corner and wanted the best possible outcome for me. Overall a really likeable, knowledgeable, and passionate lawyer. Thank you!

I highly recommend Josh for IP projects. We worked together on a collaboration agreement, a nondisclosure, and a US trademark registration. All of his work was excellent. Working with Josh versus a big firm was particularly enjoyable. He responded quickly and it was always easy to get in touch with him directly. Also, I believe that he has been able to keep his fees very reasonable because he does not have the fancy office space or big staff of a large firm.

He is honest, funny, straightforward, and moreover very intelligent. There is no reason on earth to search any further. His strategies are sound, and well thought out. Chris is human, he is all anyone could ever hope to find in an attorney. Stop your'e search right now.
Aside from his legal expertise, he is kind, fair, and a hero among men.
May I never be any part of a lawsuit again and end up on the litigation wheel. It is my great misfortune that Chris wasn't my first attorney. That will always be my regret.
Chris said he doesn't advertise, his skills, and tenacity don't require he advertise.
Please take a breath and do yourself a favor, look no further, Chris is simply more than anyone could hope for.

Martha’s in-depth knowledge of environmental law and issues and her skills as a litigator saved our organization on several fronts. In conflicts with municipal and State agencies over environmental pollution claims, she was adroit in developing defenses that resolved those issues as well as forestalling future claims. She was equally adept in the court room, securing a solid win for us when litigants attempted to shut down our entire operation. She then guided us through the arduous process of obtaining local, State, and Federal permits for site improvements in State and Federal wetlands. She is skillful in her field of law, and pleasant to work with…a winning combination.

I am one of the officers of the Metacon Gun Club in Simsbury, CT. Several years ago the club was subjected to an intense attack by some of our neighbors who used every avenue possible to shut us down, including lawsuits at both the state and federal level on environmental grounds. The club retained Martha to represent us and after a long and exasperating battle we prevailed in both cases and are still operating to this day. The suit in federal court was even appealed and we survived that also. Martha's firm was able to tie our case to a recently-won Supreme Court victory in the environmental field and the group that had won that case took the lead in defending our case also, which saved us a lot of money.
Without the services of a very knowledgeable and energetic attorney our club would surely have been shut down. We had to deal with local, state and federal agencies on matters of safety, design, operations, and environmental stewardship and Martha was invaluable in helping us navigate the difficult and sometimes exasperating path through all the requirements and regulations that are in effect these days. She was able to guide a bunch of laymen through a very difficult battle and kept us on the path to victory with grace and humor, which helped a lot.

We are owners of two properties that were once used as gas stations; we never owned or operated the stations. Both properties have/had environmental issues relative to the past uses. Martha Dean assisted us as we navigated the issues regarding our rights as innocent parties and our responsibilities under state and Federal regulations. Martha is an expert in her field and I highly recommend her for someone who needs assistance navigating the very complex issues involving environmental law.

Brian has been helping me since 2001. I was in the military and had 2 DUI's in a years time. Not only did he defend me and help me resolve it he gave me some great advice. A few years later, I had to return to San Diego to deal with an issue and Brian helped me again with spectacular results. I now find myself seeking financial licenses and once again Brian has gone out of his way on 2 different occasions to ensure my previous woes didn't stop me from achieving my goals. I think Brian is a great attorney and an even better man. As a professional, who works with many attorneys I'd recommend Brian and his team over everyone I know.

I was in the market for a lawyer to help me clear my arrest record for a DUI that the D.A never filled charges, but the arrest was still on my record. I was all set to meet with another lawyer the day after I gave Brian a call, but I was referred to Brian from another lawyer contact that I picked up from my job. Called his office, got him on the phone, explained my situation, he told me exactly what he would do and how much it would cost. I wanted to set up a face to face meeting or we could have just corresponded via snail mail. I chose the face to face option.
I went to the previously scheduled meeting with the other lawyer. The other lawyer said what Brian proposed to do could not be done and was going to charge me 85 percent more then what Brian quoted. I thanked him for his time and went to my meeting with Brian.
When I met with Brian it was painless, I peppered him with questions about wether I was legally entitled to the remedy he was seeking. He said that I was, a direct contradiction of the previous lawyer that I talked to. After signing things that allowed Brian to represent me I again asked him when I could expect a result of the remedy he was seeking with SDPD. He gave me a one month turnaround. I walked out of his office reassured. And only spending a tiny fraction of what the other lawyer was quoting me.
The month came and I got a letter from Brian with what he had promised from SDPD. He also requested that my arrest be sealed and destroyed. This was the same process that the other lawyer was going to charge me an arm and a leg for. I called Brian and got him on the phone right away, asked how much the extra motion was going to cost. He told me not to worry and will discuss any extra fees dependent on how SDPD responded to the request to seal and destroy. Again this was a request that the first lawyer said that SDPD usually never grants. Brian on the other hand told me to wait it out for their response. He again gave me a one month deadline for them to respond.
Before the one month deadline I got another letter from Brian indicating that SDPD had agreed to seal and destroy the record of the arrest. I can not thank Brian enough, I can legally and honestly answer any question about wether I have ever been arrested with a resounding NO. Do your research first and talk to Brian and see what he says. I trust him 100 percent.

I am extremely satisfied with the results Mr. Figler was able to produce. He worked very hard and went above and beyond for me. It felt like he cared about myself and my case, and went the extra mile to get things done. Very easy to work with and explained things in a straight forward way, which was helpful for someone like me who doesn’t know much about the legal/court system. I am very glad I went to him because I don’t believe I would of had the same results or urgency with a public defender. I absolutely recommend him.

I hired Mr. Diederich to help deal with an appeal process for a denied medical waiver to get into military service. Given Mr. Diederich's previous experience in military law, he knew the best way to approach the appeal process. Through Mr. Diederich's expertise and professionalism, we were able to get the medical denial reversed. I am currently enrolled in an ROTC program and on the path to military service. I am almost certain that this decision would not have been reversed had we not sought out Mr. Diederich's help. I'd also mention that he was more than happy to speak about the details of my case outside regular business hours, and always promptly responded to any questions I had with logical and straightforward advice. I would highly recommend Mr. Diederich's services.

Jim Swetz represented me in a high profile, complex, and convoluted case that spanned several years. The local police and prosecutors tirelessly pursued my own demise, something ALA Steven Avery but never fully exposed. Jim never ceased in exposing the misrepresentations and pursuing a fair trial. The Verdict from the jury trial did not pan out in full acquittal, but the sentencing phase helped produce real justice in light of the conviction. And we won the appeal filed by the DAs office. Through it all Jim never stopped pursuing justice and applying case law to ensure a measure of Justice for me. Jim is a trustworthy and knowledgeable counselor.

Jim Swetz was recommended to our family when my brother was killed by a drunk driver almost 5 years ago. He has had nothing but our family's best interest in heart since the beginning. He explained how the legal system worked and what we had to work with and how long the process would take. He knew nothing would ever replace my brother, a 20 year old, who lost his life far too soon. He wanted to make sure that the bar that played a huge role in his death would have to own up to what they did. Jim was there every step of the way, from seeing the young man that killed my brother in court, to testifying against him, to testifying against the bar. He was patient and encouraged us all to be patient. He fought for not only our family but for my brother. We, as a family, would highly recommend James Alan Swetz.

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.
