Attorney Christopher Kuhlman is an excellent, personable, knowledgeable, caring and extremely trustworthy lawyer who always showed that he had my best interests in mind and I will remain forever grateful to him for his service and dedication in the handling my legal case for nearly 10 years.
Attorney Kuhlman has a strong eye for detail and organization and an amazing ability to process large volumes of information extremely quickly. He combined these abilities with his exceptional legal-writing, superior research and excellent analytical skills in order to compose the winning briefs, motions and arguments that he used for my case.
His calm demeanor and exemplary gift in public speaking was clearly seen in his representation of me before various courts and judges (including the Minnesota Supreme Court and the Minnesota Appellate Courts) with utter professionalism and expertise, which also helped him to gain the upper-hand in court and in the winning of my case.
In addition, Attorney Kuhlman’s dedication to justice is so strong that, he was even willing to provide his representation in such a way as to support a client who could not have, otherwise, even been able to afford legal counsel. In fact, during the (nearly 10) years that Attorney Kuhlman represented me as a client, not only did he not receive a penny of payment until after my case had been won by him, but, on many occasions, he even also went so far as to cover the costs of court fees on my behalf.
On top of protecting and securing my rights, by way of filing and winning my lawsuit, Attorney Kuhlman also defended both me and my personal and professional reputation from the baseless and false accusations that the opposing counsel chose to fabricate about me as a main part of their defense. In fact, Attorney Kuhlman was my beacon of hope during periods when my legal options appeared to have been limited to none -- and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed impossible.
Also, he was so dedicated to my case and to bringing me the justice that we both felt that I deserved that, he repeatedly took my case as high as the Minnesota Supreme Court in order to win justice for me. And, thanks to Attorney Kuhlman’s legal brilliance, expertise and fight for justice on my behalf, Minnesota Law has been changed, and this law could positively affect other regions of the nation as well.
His sincere empathy, and dedication to justice on my behalf, provided emotional support to me during a period of the most difficult time of my adult life and I would highly recommend him to anyone without reservation.

Mr. Kuhlman was wonderful. He was very helpful and knowledgeable. He kept me informed of the process, of what both he and I needed to do along the way (i.e. paperwork). He also gave me updates so that I was not wondering about the case. I greatly appreciated being able to put my mind at ease knowing that I chose a great lawyer to help me win my case. I would recommend Mr. Kuhlman in a heartbeat.

Ms. Cooper was very professional and her knowledgeable legal staff assisted me in the representation of my case. Ms. Cooper was very thorough and I was felt completely confident that she was the right one to help me. She and her staff kept me notified of important dates and I never felt rushed or given any reason to question her expertise. I would highly recommend Ms. Cooper
to handle your bankruptcy matters.

I was referred by another happy client that Ms. Cooper had helped. It was easy to get an appointment and she explained the whole bankruptcy process well. When we went to court to file (back in 2010) she was the most organized lawyer there. The other ones were fumbling with all kinds of folders and she had everything in order for her clients on her ipad. Well into our bankruptcy, the car that I had involved in the bankruptcy was totaled in a storm and she immediately filed the motion where we could substitute another title so I would not be without a vehicle. At the end, when the trustee was still subtracting payments from our checking account she went to court and got an immediate refund of all over payments. (We received the refund the same day she went to court). We were well represented throughout the whole process and she was always compassionate and sympathetic. Any time we called with questions we always got a call back.

Counselor Cooper and her professional, knowledgeable legal staff provided me with outstanding, unparalleled representation in my case. Ms. Cooper developed and succeeded my case on a timeline that exceeded my expectations and relieved me of the fear and loathing of a legal matter. She kept me notified and aware of important issues while at the same time took care of the details in which I need not be concerned.

Was referred to Jim and I'm SO glad I was. We reviewed a contract I am about to sign for a monthly contractor role that I'm endeavoring on. Great understanding of the law. I feel way more protected now that Jim reviewed it with me and offered his feedback, advice, and input. Thank you Jim! Will definitely return in the future when another contract comes my way.

I was referred to Jim from a separate Attorney's Office regarding a wage and hour issue. I was really nervous about my case but after meeting Jim I felt confident about what I was doing. He is genuine and supportive and he knows what he is talking about. Jim has gone out of his way to keep up with me and responded to any questions I have. I can't thank him enough, I'd be lost with out him.

When assigning a complex litigated case, one wishes not only to select the leading public entity defense firm but also ensure that the lawyer assigned is educated, aggressive and dedicated to serving your agency's needs. Michael Watts is such a professional. Having hired Mr. Watts on several sensitive cases requiring dealing with contentious issues, competing demands, and high-exposure potential, the results achieved were well beyond my expectations. I am very impressed by Mr. Watts, his professionalism, his honesty, and his gentlemanly demeanor.

Even though my legal problem was outside Mr. Goldsmith's normal area of expertise he still took on my case, brought in excellent outside counsel and with the incredible help of his assistant, waded through very complex Medicare, Social Security and other bureacracies that would have sent me to the funny farm. It took a lot of time (thru no fault of his) but we got there and I can finally put the incident behind me.

I've enjoyed the services of Atty Anthony Goldsmith for nearly a decade. Not only does he provide insightful courses of action in which to take, he's fully aware of all existing laws in the area of one's need. He's, no doubt, one of the best Civil Rights and Disability Rights attorneys in the state of California, if not the nation. Of the thousands of professionals I've met in a handful of careers that I've had, my only wish is that they all would have had his competence, his skill level, and his positive moral compass. I would recommend his legal services to anyone who has been 'wronged' in any situation.

Their expertise and attention to detail were evident in every interaction, and I felt confident that I was in good hands every step of the way.

Matt is a great lawyer. I hired him for some legal work even though I am an attorney myself. He is efficient and cost-effective. Best thing about him was that he is blunt. I wanted it a certain way and thought of possible avenues but he was a master at his craft and knew the most efficient way. He gave great advice and did not just say yes.

I have known Rand Hoch for over 16 years. I have used him as a Private Mediator when I handled defense cases for 3 years and claimant's cases for the past 13 years. He always does a great job explaining the law to the claimants. He is a former Judge of Compensation Claims so he has extensive experience with trials. He relates well with claimants. He works hard and will stay late if necessary to help the parties reach a resolution. I highly recommend Rand Hoch as a Mediator.

Rand was so very helpful to me in my attempt to get my homestead issues resolved. He is truly well connected and knowledgeable in local legal processes. He guided me towards a course of action that resulted in a quick, not litigious outcome. I would suggest him as a consultant or mediator who is well connected and knowledgeable, and with whom you will feel like you are being well represented by a trusted advisor.

I was referred to JKLF by Legalshield. I hired them to handle my divorce. Boyd Roberts along with his assistant Trudy went above and beyond my expectations.
Trudy worked a lot of late hours drawing up paperwork and making sure everything was documented correctly. If she had a question she'd call me direct to verify. She's very respectful and a hard worker.
Boyd is a no BS attorney but absolutely professional at the same time. He knows the law and uses it rather than getting angry and talking smack. We imposed sanctions 2 or 3 different times because my ex wife and her attorney were doing nothing to move it along. They weren't getting paperwork and documents to us that the judge ordered. We ended up settling outside of court, she agreed to a cash settlement and I kept my whole retirement account. Boyd and/or Trudy drew up the settlement agreement and still always promptly answered any questions i had. Boyd was always 2 steps ahead of her attorney thro the whole process even tho she filed the divorce. He was reasonable and fair, always knew what to expect and how to handle each situation. Thank you!

From the moment I first met with Chris, I knew he was the right lawyer to take my case. He was sensitive to the situation, and was very easy to work with. He always kept me informed every step of the way and he fought for me, when I felt like no one else would. I would recommend Chris to anyone who wants their case handled by someone who truly cares about the person involved as opposed your case number. He would even go out of his way to make the time commitments it involved convenient for my schedule. Anytime I had a question for Chris, I had a response within hours if not minutes. It is great to have a lawyer that really is dedicated to quality.

I hired Jane to help me collect a large judgement that was awarded to me in GA for a construction job that went awry. The contractor would not pay me and lived in CT so I could not use my GA attorney. Jane was absolutely amazing. She was extremely patient when helping me understand my legal options. When one approach didn't work, she would recommend alternatives. She consistently followed up on a timely basis. Because of her hard work and persistence, we were able to collect 100% of my judgement!

I was referred by a friend to Attorney Vasaturo. I am truly satisfied with her legal knowledge, efficiency with her work ethic, and pleased with her affordability. I have utilized her services on several occasions. First, I needed to comprise a Living Will. She was attentive to my concerns, effective with document completion, and modest with my cost.
Secondly, I requested Attorney Vasaturo for assistance with dealing with a horrendous accident that my family incurred from an at-fault driver. After trying to deal with insurance companies lack of fairness when we were not at fault, I decided it was best to have an attorney on retainer. Attorney Vasaturo was open and honest about the legal process and what was needed to fight this case. She was diligent with her investigation to acquire necessary documentation while conversing with fellow attorneys regarding this case. She was truly efficient with her time and rate for services. I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Jane Vasaturo for any legal needs as she truly gets the job done with favorable results.

When I needed legal help with a very stressful and emotional employment discrimination problem, at first I didn't know who to go to, who to trust, then other attorneys recommended Joseph Avrahamy, citing his excellence, integrity and compassion for his clients. They said he's not afraid of difficult cases. Mr. Avrahamy handled my case with remarkable skill, concern, great passion, dedication, and a true belief in me, his client. He understood and recognized how important this case was to me, as it was to him as well. I can't express how grateful I am and will always be for what he accomplished. As stressful as it was, "we" went all the way, through a jury trial, and won in our favor. That meant so much to me, to finally prove, among unbiased peers, that I had been wronged. I have no regrets, and am so happy that I choose Joseph Avrahamy to handle my lawsuit, as it was and still is a most important decision in my life, and impacted my present and future life.

I am not sure that 4000 characters for this response would be enough to explain my case and what Joseph (Yosi) Avrahamy did for me. It was a very long and complicated matter. Yosi represented me in an employment case against a major police department that I worked for. The allegations consisted of harassment, failure to promote, discrimination and retaliation. Fighting my particular law enforcement agency is one of the most difficult battles that one can take on. They don't play fair and will stonewall and lie at every turn to win. My case was no exception. However, Yosi was unphased by all this and stood by me from beginning to end. He believed I had a good case and never wavered in his support of me. The battle was long and I always felt that I was a part of the process. Yosi kept me informed every step of the way, which is huge when you are going through something as stressful as a lawsuit. Many lawyers do not do this. I know because I worked around a group of lawyers before I found myself in the precarious position that I was in. Yosi is the exception (in a good way) not the rule for most lawyers. And finally and most importantly, Yosi never made you feel that money was the most important thing to him in the case. By this I mean, that he actually made you feel that what happened to you mattered while also trying to win your case for you and achieve a satisfactory monetary outcome. In the end, my police department settled out of court with me. Something that they do not do unless they think that they could actually lose and lose big. They are very stubborn that way. It was Yosi's expertise and past victories that made them think twice about trying the case before a jury. I would highly recommend him. He is a great lawyer, but more importantly, he is a great person.

When one finds themselves in need of an attorney, what they really are in need of is good direction. Mr. Avrahamy helped me see that direction very clearly and built a methodical plan of action that never lost track of the bigger picture, which is not being taken advantage of.
I am very comfortable giving Joseph Avrahamy my highest recommendation, without reservation, to handle your legal needs.

I had a good experience with Anton and his associate attorney Emilia. I would recommend this firm. Anton is very smart and fights for his clients. He came up with a very good strategy to defend me. The firm was financially reasonable but, most importantly, they took the time for me, took my case seriously, and treated me with kindness and respect. I have been through a terrible legal ordeal and Anton gave me peace of mind and advocated successfully for my rights throughout. I have had very disappointing experiences with other attorneys in the past. So I can truly say: When one finds a good attorney it is simply golden. Highly recommended.

The case was remanded back to the lower court and Robert assumed that litigation as well, as he was familiar with the case.

Robert goes above and beyond the normal Attorney/Client relationship with constant communication and personal support.

I have known and worked with Robert Rivas as President of Final Exit Network for the past two years. Final Exit Network is a 501 (c)(3) organization, devoted to providing mentally competent persons who become members information on how to end their lives peacefully, painlessly, and quickly when they are suffering from an irreversible medical condition that is more than they can bear. We also offer a compassionate presence to any member who chooses to end his or her suffering. Authorities in GA, AZ, and MN have brought charges against our volunteers and Final Exit Network as violating their laws against assisted suicide. We believe, and we publicly state, that we do not violate laws against assisted suicide. Robert has lead our defense teams in all three jurisdictions, as well as personally argued on behalf of our volunteers and the organization, and has brought us to victory in GA and AZ. The legal issues in MN are ongoing, but we have good reason to believe that our team will also prevail there.
On top of his legal knowledge and acumen, Robert is articulate, circumspect, trustworthy, a fine writer and editor, and a pleasure to work with.

I was very impressed with both Mr. Rudolph's depth of knowledge as well as his professionalism and kindness. This was quite a convoluted mess of a case, one with several outside hearings going on at the same time, sometimes interfering with the matter at hand, but once Mr. Rudolph took the time to research the validity of my concerns, he never wavered in his confidence and trust in me. He figuratively then literally stood by my side as my advocate the entire time, most impressively during mediation where I tended to get a bit heated. This case is just now coming to a close (1yr, 7 months since filing) with my desired results. The charged party used delay tactics in order to have me give up. Mr. Rudolph dealt with each delay in a calm manner, letting them know his client (me) would not back down, and finally resulting in a satisfactory settlement agreement. I recommend him without reservation.

Erin Hardister is without a doubt, the brightest attorney out there. Because of her, My Boys will now have the opportunity to go to college. A simple "Thank you" to her in no way would suffice. She is VERY bright, and I Thank God that she's not like other attorneys out there who're just out to get a big lump sum of money and put no effort into it. She is not a 9 to 5'er like most that have represented me in this case that's dragged on for more than 7 years, and I've had some with more than 20 years under their belt, but that means nothing if you're scared to rebut the state and stand up and actually talk to the judge, versus being a scared puppet. I mean, what attorney would send you an email at 10:00pm, OR be willing to take your phone call? This case started in May of 2012. I've had several attorneys. I hired her mid April of 2019, and YESTERDAY, May 1st, she did what all those other attorneys didn't and couldn't do. My Boys are My Absolute EVERYTHING, and because of her, they now will have the Opportunity to go to college. I have no doubt that regardless of whether it was Family Law or Criminal Law, Erin would be on her game......I can truly see her one day being a judge, and a fair one at that, but I'd hope that she'd stay as an attorney so the smart ones that hire her can actually get the help and JUSTICE that they (and their kids if they are in a Family Law Case) deserve!!! In just a couple weeks she did what 3 others couldn't do in 7 years!!! God Blessed My Boys and I with finding and hiring her!! I mean He truly BLESSED My Boys and I cause as previously stated, she's not a 9 to 5'er........she's all in looking to and hitting home runs!!! Thank you beyond ALL Words Erin as you really have now given My Boys the opportunity and chance to go to college!!! God Bless You and Your Family Erin!!!
P.S.- One day you'll have the opportunity to be a judge, I truly believe that, but I'd hope that you'd remain an attorney cause ones like you are truly hard to find.........ones that actually care and are not all about the money!!

We hired Erin Hardister when my son's wife fled state with his 2 minor children and refused to return. With Erin's knowledge of the law, hard work, quick actions, constant communication (even on weekends) and commitment to doing what is right and ethical, the children were returned within a week. and parental issues resolved, resulting in a happy ending, which I know is rare. From the beginning, Erin was welcoming, understanding, honest, fair, committed to doing what was right and in the best interest of the children, while protecting my son's rights, as a father. She is well-versed in the laws and consistently communicated everything that was happening as it unfolded. You will not find another attorney that has such an affordable retainer with reasonable fees, that will work harder than Erin did. This is not a rotating law-firm, this is personal caring lawyer and I assure you, she is a rare gem. The level of commitment and care Erin gave to my son in his time of need brought him such great comfort and relief, we will forever be grateful.

When I hired Steven D. Horak as an attorney, it was quite evident that I was fortunate to obtain his counsel. He is extremely intelligent, empathetic, and an experienced attorney.

I hired Mr Norman for a DUI issue I was involved with in the MD court system. He immediately told me he was not familiar with the judges in my county and didn't specialize in my specific type of case. He then offered to help me locate someone who was. I retained his services anyway and he appeared to work twice as hard as the oposition lawyers to compensate for his lack of comfort in that particular area. By the time we went into negotiations he knew the issues better than the other law team.
He went out and researched the issues and reported back to me with options. He brought in experts he found to bolster my case. He was willing to go to court if necessary, which many lawyers are not willing to do. I was impressed with his work habits and straight shooting approach and appreciated his honesty.

Doug is great to work with. His approach and the firm's environment make working with him and his team a comfortable experience in potentially uncomfortable situations. He takes the time to thoroughly understand situations and issues--not only from the legal perspective, but from the real world practicality of running a business. He provides great advice and he includes his clients in working through issues as appropriate so that the relationship is a partnership and makes true sense for the particular business entity. Doug's focuses on prevention. In the area of employment law, he works with his clients to ensure that policies, education, etc are in place to protect the business from potential adverse action thereby making the workplace a good one for the business owner (leadership) and employees alike. I highly recommend Doug to anyone seeking counsel for their business.

We hired Jean to represent our son, and she did a great job. She was responsive to our questions, even after hours. All the charges were dismissed. Also, we live in another state, and none of us had to travel to Florida, which saved us a good chunk of money.

Ms. Downing worked on my case before the recent problems of Veterans trying to get their benefits from VA employees who are not Veterans, made the national news.
Having a 4.0 GPA in paralegal and criminal justice studies-graduating Summa Cum Laude soon, my perception is that any parties not approving Ms. Downing;s work and opposing my excellent rating, should support their position by sending me their 4.0 transcript, I will send anyone mine.

Attorney Itzkowitz represented me in a federal suit I filed against some major American corporations after I was raped on the grounds of an American owned hotel in the Cayman Islands 20 years ago. The case was poised to be a truly landmark case on many levels. At the zenith hour to the trial, it was settled out of court for a sum that helped me regain my life and belief in justice. I was literally homeless and had become disabled by my physical and psychic injuries. Although receiving no interest from the American press (except for a superb article in Layers Weekly) the settlement Mark facilitated made some global headlines. An article even appeared in newspapers in Japan. Mark Itzkowitz is a "super-lawyer" of Super Lawyers. His insight and brilliance regarding the international laws which impacted my case was astounding. Mark has also helped me in smaller family type matters since then. I have 100% confidence in Mark Itzkowitz's integrity and ability. 5 stars is not high enough praise.

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.
