Carlos won our case for us when we were pushed out of our home by our landlord in San Francisco. A rent controlled home that I resided in for over 10 years starting in 2004. He didn't give up on us in a battle of a very big SF real estate company versus an individual family and and in the end we came out on top. He is very professional and a very kind person. I would recommend Carlos to anyone out there in a similar case.

We hired Rob Robertson to handle some City of Chicago fines on property that our church holds. Attorney Robertson successfully resolved the issues, kept us informed of the progress, and offered to inspect land records to insure that some of the issues would not be repeated.

I had a relatively serious traffic matter. Rob Robertson handled my case efficiently and successfully. I hope to never have to use another attorney, but if I do, Rob would be my first choice.

I made the biggest mistake of my life one night and was pretty sure that I had destroyed my career and my life. I called Rob on the recommendation of a friend and he immediately talked me off the ledge, showing care and compassion that an idiot like me did not deserve.. Once the proceedings started, Rob was as effective as could be imagined with regard to handling the case but more importantly he kept me fully informed about what was going on. He not only knows the law, he knows people and he knows how judges think. He framed my case to the court in such a way that I ended up getting supervision when I deserved much worse. In the end, Rob saved my butt with his great skill, I was truly lucky to hire him as my attorney.

I had the privilege to have, Ms. Catherine Mitchell, represent me as my attorney on a Class Action Lawsuit against a major Corporation. Not only was the lawsuit successful, but she represented me on an additional matter with the same company. The results for that was also excellent. I’m so pleased and very happy to have Ms. Mitchell represent me. She answered my calls and emails. She was very patient and an attentive listener. If you are looking for a Class Action Attorney, then I highly recommend Ms. Mitchell.

I just went through a divorce and Robert and his staff represented me. We actually settled my case before going to Court. I got almost everything on my "wish list" and my fees were a fraction of my husband's. I would recommend Robert to anyone who wants to resolve their case quickly and amicably but without sacrifice.

I am pleased to have the opportunity to recommend the legal services of Attorney Raymond Rigat. I attended law school with Ray and recognized his his extraordinary intelligence, his impressive legal skills and his excellent moral character as a law student. I have followed Ray’s legal career since 1990 and consider Ray to be a good friend as well as a valuable legal resource to me in my professional endeavors. Over the years, I have turned to Ray many times for his counsel on legal matters and I am always extremely pleased with his advice and guidance. Ray has exceptional litigation skills and consistently gets great results for his clients.

The representation that I received from Atty. Rigat was spot on. Ray took the time and listened to my needs and concerns and used his years of experience to garner the best outcome possible. Easy to talk to, non judgmental and fought for what was fair and in my best interest. He worked non stop and was dedicated to my case.

I give him my highest praise and recommend him without reservation to anyone seeking the services of a top quality attorney.

There’s nothing more stressful in this busy world we live in then to find yourself against the wrong end of the law. Court proceedings leave you dazed and confused with how fast they Overwhelm you with unfamiliar language and seemingly endless Punishments and fines for your crime. I was Very impressed with Miss Anderson, her diligence and efforts to research every angle of my case, she also took the time to break down the process and explain each step of the way. I went from hopeless and helpless to comfortable and confident that that with Miss Anderson’s help this will all be a part of my past not a determination of my future. There are still great honest lawyers out there thank you again Miss Anderson.

Where do I begin? Ms. Anderson gave us much needed advice about helping my son expunge his record. Not only did she take the time to advise me of the facts, but she explained every step of the process with calm, professional clarity. We are grateful to Ms. Anderson and feel, now, we have some we can turn to as our son navigates a cruel world that may or may not understand autism.

The Law Offices of Gordon Fauth took on my legal suit when all other means to settle my case failed. It was at the very last minute to submit the suit before the time expired. However, even though I had little information for them to work with they handled it very professionally and achieved results I did not think possible.

I came across Gordon and one of his associates via the web. I called in the afternoon, forwarded to them mountains of PDF's and E-mails, and by the time we reached their office that evening, they were already well informed and fully ramped-up to deal with our case. My wife and I arrived to their office anxious and distressed; but left with a great sense of relief and confidence. It became obvious within the first few moments of meeting with Gordon that we were in very good hands. Gordon and his associate inquired as to our goals, discussed a strategy, and then like a chess master described with great accuracy the incremental steps that would likely follow. I have never worked with a professional that was as well-informed, ethically grounded, and client-oriented as Gordon. My wife and I were extremely fortunate to of come across Gordon. The representation he provided for us was stellar.

I met Gordon Fauth in 1994-95 when we were both studying at Boalt Hall, and we have remained in touch. When I had need of an attorney for my own case, regarding a contested LLC dissolution, I went to Gordon (who ultimately got the case settled efficiently and favorably). Apart from the above-rated adjectives, I'd like to add that he is conscientious. Thus, it is my pleasure to recommend him to others.

I would be the first to recommend Jeff as a lawyer if you want someone who goes above and beyond. He takes the time to make sure you understand things through every step of the case. Additionally, you can tell with how thorough he is that he has the experience necessary to help get you the best possible outcome. My family and I are extremely grateful and blessed to have had an amazing lawyer like Jeff represent us, and we truly believe that we would not have gotten the same outcome without Jeff’s hard work and dedication.

Josephine is an excellent attorney and an even better human being. She genuinely cares about civil rights and her clients. She does everything she can to advocate for them. No matter how much adversity she faces from the legal system in Connecticut, she pushes ahead. Never giving up and always encouraging her clients. Josephine Miller is what Connecticut desperately needs.

I would trust Attorney Miller with my life! She took my case on short notice when the Commission on Human Rigts and Opportunities was on the verge of dismissing my case. Attorny Miller . I sat with Attorny Miller and watched her during three depositions as she made the respodants own witnesses contradict the respondants case. The brief that she wrote for the cases' judge cited enough case law, precedents, common law and persuasive legality to do even the great Supreme Court jurist Thurgood Marshall proud! She is that accomplished at writing legal briefs. She is really that good!!! Just as important, Attorney Miller always returned the phone messages that I left for her. And, unlike some attorneys, Attorney Miller always explained where we are at as the case progressed and always explained matters of legal esoterica.It is unfortunate and an injustice that Attorney Miller is not ranked as a " superlawyer", because that is exactly what she is: a highly skilled attorney who cares about her clients.In a day and age when attorneys are mostly concerned about fattening their wallets/purses , Attorney Miller is that one rare exception of the lawyer that cares about her client and the case. From a very satisfied client

Attorney Miller has handled three matters for me in the last 5 y ears. Her work is thorough and highly professional. She is a person of upstanding integrity and she is VERY VERY knowledgable about the law and clearly unitimidated by people, especially people who have an unrighteous bent. I thank God every day for the positive impact she has had on my life as well as my legal issue.

Know what sucks? Getting divorced. Know what sucks more than that? Throwing $300 at an attorney for a 20 minute conversation who's the supposed "ferrari of family law" and not getting anything out of it.
I walked into Mrs.Beth(I call her Anne Coulter)'s office, and was in tears over the stress of the beginnings of a divorce, and as a father who can't begin to talk about his kids in any legal form without crying and being overly passionate, having an attorney who matches my intensity so I don't fly off the handle and use four letter words in front of a judge that I shouldn't, is an absolute blessing.
Beth has, since day one made the entire process a walk in the park. Every single thing that my ex's "bus stop lawyer"(ive learned in big cities the lawyers who advertise on bus stops are generally the worst ones, and the ones who do little to no advertising and let word of mouth do the talking are top notch). Everything that was thrown at me, she bounced it right off of me and almost gave me no reason to even open my mouth. Above everything...above her intensity...she is an incredibly honest person... She's made the entire process so much easier on me.. If you want honesty, no smoke, no bs.. call Beth.. You won't regret it.

Garrett was quick to respond to all my questions and concerns. He always outline my options in a concise, easily digested manner. I completely trusted his work as well as his opinion. I would say that he is head and shoulders above other attorneys that I have come into contact with in his field. Garrett was always the calm in the storm and did not react when challenged by opposing counsel. Garrett did a great job representing my desires and guided me toward a positive outcome.

Garrett has been nothing short of miraculous for me. My situation has proven to be less than optimal, as far as my case evolving into a garden variety law suit. It has been a rough ride thus far but Garrett has kept me abreast of all levels/stages/expectations of my case and has done so in a personal and professional manner. He's made time for me whenever I've called him with comments, questions or concerns. From the time I met him I liked him. Our professions may be at the opposite ends of the spectrum but I retained his services based on my impression of him as a person as well as an attorney. I never felt like an obsolete client with Garrett. He talks to you, not at you. Garrett's a good guy and a good attorney.

Mark Rater goes above and beyond for his clients, and or anyone else who is in need of any assistance; not only does he respond to questions in a timely manner, but he also is very honest and helpful. Mark is someone who I would recommend 100% in any case you may have, for his knowledge and efforts to help others. Many lawyers may take every penny you have in order to benefit their own well being, but Mark is someone who would put his self in your shoes and work with you in order to better your life or situation and make sure that you know and understand your case 100% or the situation, and wouldn’t leave with any un answered questions. In my opinion; as a mother with many questions, and having children to protect, I feel 100% confident in his words and knowledge that I can move forward with my day to day life and feel confident in my case.

I hired Kevin Lucey after a recommendation from a music business attorney I occasionally work with.
Turned out to be a great choice as Kevin led me through this agonizing process with great efficiency.
Kevin Lucey is an expert with dealing with these hard to deal with insurance companies. Insurance companies would be perfectly happy to offer nothing for someone in a personal injury situation and Kevin navigated and handled the claim in a timely and efficient manner.
I can't imagine having to try and deal with them myself. My gut reaction when I spoke with the claims adjuster was that they were going to try and screw me as best they could. Kevin knows how to deal with insurance companies and I highly recommend him!

Robert Burford is amazing! I had a business issue and my lawyer from most respected law firms in Houston was handling it. This dragged for months and months: tons of aggravation, even sleepless nights, and over $100K in legal bills. A friend recommended to contact Mr. Burford. First he requested to send him all paperwork. After a week, Robert met with me and my partner on the morning before Christmas. His whole office was empty. He asked us what we wanted as the result of his involvement. He found our claim to be very reasonable. After he wrote a letter to the opposing attorneys and had a discussion with them, my partner and I got everything that we wanted. I'm always very thankful to Robert Burford.

I am an independent public relations consultant specializing in crisis communications and media relations for public and private entities. Robert has advised me on a myriad of legal issues my clients face, including such diverse matters as environmental concerns, embezzlement, child protective issues, and land use. Without exception, Mr. Teel has provided excellent advice and direction to reduce my clients' legal exposure. Because the majority of my work involves crisis situations, it is important that I receive this counsel in an immediate fashion. Mr. Teel is accessible for me on a moment's notice, and has always been immediately responsive. I will continue to utilize his services.

Recently I needed to petition the State of California, and required a seasoned attorney to do so.
Robert Teel has a real knack for legal theory. He really does his homework sizing up the situation, the laws, and opponents. He furthermore carefully calculates risk, and his honest about the chances.
He complements his judiciousness before the court date with eloquence and personality in the courtroom.
Throughout the case he was a perfect communicator: keeping me up to date and providing very clear instructions what and what not I -- as a client -- had to do.
His ethics are impeccable, by the way, which I suppose one can't take for granted these days.
It has been a pleasure and hopefully will continue to be.

Attorney Brendan Klaproth ...As good as it gets! Amazing Attorney.
Courageous. Credible. Competitive. Conqueror. Compassionate.
1. He took my case after other attorney's told me they wouldn't know how to get it done.
2. He was always straight with me and other attorneys gave him great references.
3. 1st he thinks. He strategizes. He fights. He wins!!! He won my case!
4. He has positive energy and a sense of command that put me at ease.
*5. My favorite - He listened, heard/felt my pain, advised me, kept me informed, and reminded me that trusting was okay; there are some people who'd keep my best interests at heart.
Fact: No amount of money can erase pain; but, the walk through your tough days can be eased when you have the right support in your corner.
I am grateful Attorney Brendan Klaproth handled my case. My lawyer is The Best.
When you need a lawyer, call Klaproth Law PLLC, Washington DC

Brendan's work on my smallish (5 - 10k) claim against my condominium association was professional and competent. His rate of $300/hour was fair and he was conservative in his billing time. It was helped by the fact I was quite directive in what I wanted him to do and he did that competently. I recommend Brendan to anyone who is looking for a professional attorney who is responsive, professional yet dedicated to the needs of individual customer. I heartily recommend his work.

I could not be more satisfied with the firm of Klaproth and Basyuk in my recent business agreements. The entertainment attorney I had was not so great so I researched Washington, DC area business attorneys’ extensively before meeting Brenden Klaproth. I knew he would be my final choice on the day I met him. I never once regretted that decision. Brenden listened, advised, advocated and kept me well informed throughout the each business and entertainment agreement. He directed me when decisions were clear, and helped me decide and participate when strategies were a matter of choice. His compassion, confidence and experience put me at ease throughout a very difficult process. I highly recommend Brenden as an excellent and thorough Business Attorney and hope to continue my relationship with him for some time to come.

The first time I used him was for a criminal offense in the 2000's that is now perfectly legal statewide (we all know what I'm talking about). Peter was honest and clear with me about fighting this. He tolld me it was a coin flip. I was willing to flip. Long story short, after I turned down 5 plea bargains, all no time but had to take a felony, the prosecuting attorney decided to ad an enhancement (that's called malicious prosecution and is illegal).
Mr. Connick is a phenomenal, intimidating and well prepared trial attorney. I claim prosecutors fear facing him. I had two members of the front court come up to me to tell me it was one of the most fascinating cases they have ever heard. They hear cases every day. That to me is the ultimate compliment to Mr. Peter Connick.
The second time was a family issue that Peter won for me. All my siblings and their attorneys lost. To this day none of them can believe it. Probably because I paid AT LEAST half on fees that they did.
If your willing to fight, Peter is your man.

Pete is truly the best. He saved me 25 years of my life at 24 years old. He then again represented me in the the small town of Ellensburg Washington on bogus Assault charges. He is an animal in trial. I have recommended him to many people and he has always won their cases. I trust him with my life as he has saved my *** many times. He is fair and affordable and I always asked him why he didn't charge thousands of dollars to clients, he said that if he did...a lot of people wouldn't get the help they need, including me. I feel bad I haven't been in contact with him lately as i still owe him money for a car and for saving my life. Although i am not in a financial position to fix it at this time, i plan to someday soon. Hats off to the best of the best..PETE CONNICK!!! katrina

My discrimination situation took my job, my confidence and left me feeling frustrated and powerless. Paul guided me through the legal system with calm confidence, clear explanations, and wise council. His good relationship with other attorneys and legal professionals made the whole process very courteous and we were able to settle out of court.
Paul Kinne has my respect and my recommendation.

Paul is a sincere, trustworthy human being. He is the type of man you'd be proud to call a good friend. As my attorney, he treated me with respect, was a good listener, extremely honorable and always carefully explained my options in the case. Paul patiently guided me through the process and brought about the best possible outcome. I would always turn to Paul for legal assistance.

Vernon has been absolutely amazing. A year and half after I had been injured at work and after receiving medical treatment, it was time to start the settlement process. I was given an offer and wasn't sure if it was good. I found The Sumwalt Group on Google and saw the 5 star reviews. I reached out to them to see if I could get some advice. Vernon was the one to call me and gave me some wonderful free advice on countering and what would be a good amount. He also looked over the settlement agreement I received to make sure it wouldn't mess up any potential social security/disability in the future. Vernon made me feel like he cared and like he wanted the best for me on this settlement and helped me to avoid having to hire a lawyer and drag out the process. I hope I never get hurt on the job again, but if I ever do I will definitely reach out to them again.

Mr. Bert Miano has beyond superseded any type of expectation I could have ever had upon working with him. Through out the entire process, I not only felt he was always giving me his full attention but also compassion and full support. He is extremely knowledgeable and delivers in a way that helps you feel like you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I actually randomly stumbled upon him and beyond grateful to have an attorney that exceeds beyond his job and genuinely cares for you and your situation. I will be forever thankful and sing his praises for the endless support, efforts and time he gave me. If you want the BEST ATTORNEY and experience in already a trying time pick this guy !

Ken Friedman and Terry Venneberg successfully represented me in a sexual harassment case against a major corporation. They were both outstanding, compassionate and professional. Ken is remarkably intelligent, quick witted, has excellent humor and thinks creatively. I highly recommend this attorney as he is a genuinely decent human while still being an aggressive advocate for his clients.

Ken represented in a wrongfully prosecuted misdemeanor case and i could not have had a better lawyer. He worked diligently, conscientiously and successfully in getting my case dismissed. He also was kind and thoughtful and eased my worries better than any social worker. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants excellent legal work.

Ken and Terry Venneberg went up against one of the most formidable Corporations in the world, Morgan Stanley. No other attorney firms had the "guts" to take them on. It was a good case, but "the good 'ol boys" were not going to budge no matter how much it cost them. Ken and Terry stuck it out, kept me informed, were honest and very knowledgeable. We agreed upon a settlement one week before the trial began because Morgan Stanley, in all their arrogance, forgot to get a nondisclosure and that was what I really wanted. To be able to shout it from the "rooftops".
I thank Ken and Terry from the bottom of my heart,
Deborah J. Dodson

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.
