Consumer Litigation Associates helped my spouse and I fix our credit after having an old auto loan inaccurately report the final disposition of our account to each of the credit bureaus. We worked with Drew Sarrett and Vicki Crissman, who each helped us expertly navigate the tremendous amount of paperwork and process required to satisfactorily resolve the matter and fully restore our credit ratings. Highly recommend.

I hired CLA for a FCRA identity theft case against a major US bank and the 3 credit bureaus. CLA handled the case professionally, efficiently, in an organised fashion and paid special attention to my specific needs even through difficult pandemic times. The job was completed and settlements were obtained from all 4 defendants. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of similar representation.

11 Aug, 2021 by Damon

I reached out to CLA and Associates regarding a life insurance claim and was advised appropriately on which direction to take, and would not hesitate to contact Ali and her team if a similar situation would ever come to bear again. This is an excellent firm that will not hesitate to help.

I was in an auto accident and my entire world turned upside down. It was very difficult to get my medical care providers to take me seriously. After five months of asking for an MRI and being ignored, I hired Pickett law firm. One phone call later from them, it was scheduled. Bill and his team made me feel like they actually cared for me the person. Not just about getting paid. He helped me get a fair settlement and explained everything that was going on. He and his team always made me feel like I matter.

I HAVE BEEN TO BILL FOR 2 ISSUES. ONE WAS A FALL AT WALMART WHICH ANOTHER LAW FIRM PLAYED WITH FOR A YEAR AND THEN WOULDNT PROCEED. WITHIN A VERY SHORT TIME , BILL HAD A SETTLEMENT THE SECOND WAS AN AUTO ACCIDENT AND WAS SETTLED WELL. HE IS A SMART CARING GUY!

02 Mar, 2016 by Sarah m.

After l lost my job and suffered civil rights violations in the process, I was completely distraught as I had never had any sort of employment issue, ever. Mr. Pickett and his team went above and beyond to always make sure I was well taken care of, and that we were both on the same page. We ultimately ended up working out a settlement that was beneficial to all parties and it could not have been accomplished without Bill and his team. I am forever blessed and grateful to have had his assistance during what was the worst time in my entire life. I can't thank them enough. -Sarah

We are a Seattle based IP/Technology development and licensing company and have been working with Scott since 2005. He has our the-go-to-licensing-attorney who helped us with all of our licensing deals with companies that are much larger than we are. Scott is one of the best of the best ... and I can recommend highly for any technology company that is engaged with a technology licensing, at least, when it comes to hardware, f/w and s/w, IP/patents licensing. He is able to see the "whole" picture, think thru about both technology and business aspects, and propose some practical solutions. Always useful.

16 Oct, 2017 by Derrick

Scott is not just my attorney, he's a strategic advisor when it comes to emerging technologies and the current state of IP. Most recently Scott has been engaged to determine what issues we should be considering as we look to incorporate blockchain and cryptocurrencies into our business. This is a very complex field that is changing rapidly. I feel better knowing I have an expert of this caliber in my court.

16 Oct, 2017 by Sabryna

Scott Warner is wholly responsible for keeping my life in one piece, safe and sound! Without this his brilliant, creative legal mind, I wouldn't be able to survive in today's complicated legal world and the forest that is Intellectual Property Rights and other scary beasts. I am honored to have worked with this fabulous Human Being since 2012. I recommend him to anyone who might be looking for the best attorney in the entire world!

I cannot thank him enough for the help he did for me during my DUI case, made things so much easier and stress free while I was in that process of handling the case thank you again!! I would highly recommend him to anyone I know that’s dealing with DUI cases.

20 Mar, 2017 by Alphonso

Dillon Smith as a fantastic attorney. He represented me in a civil trial recently. If not for him I would have lost the case and I could have also potentially ended up going to jail because of the accusations someone else had been claiming about me. I interviewed two other attorneys before deciding to hire Mr. Smith. He seemed the most knowledgeable on the subject matter in the particular area of law that I needed representation for. He won the case for me and the petitioner didn't stand a chance. During the hearing, the petitioner put on a full dog and pony show, The judge was very biased towards me as well (perhaps I reminded her of someone she doesn't like or she was buying into the petitioners entire act) However, Mr. Smith was extremely professional and stuck to the facts of the case - as well as pointing out the lack of solid evidence - and in the end we prevailed. Had we not won, I could have also suffered financial loss due the petitioners claims. I am very thankful for Mr. Smiths help. He is a remarkably talented and top notch attorney. He is also a terrific human being. He sincerely cares about his clients. He went the extra mile for me, putting in lots of leg work and thoroughly researching every part of the case in order to reach the outcome I was hoping for. I highly recommend him. Ten stars!

25 May, 2013 by Anonymous

Dealing with courts, cops, lawyers, judges etc. can be a scary situation, but Mr. Smith provided me with some relief as I could tell right away that he knew what he was talking about, and was invested in me as a client AND an individual. He's a very smart guy who listened to my concerns and had valuable insight and information. He knows the laws. He knows your rights. He will do everything he can to get the best outcome possible. My case was dismissed, and I can't thank him enough for his help.

Mike has done legal work for me both personally and for each of my past three businesses over the last 15 years. He has helped me with employment related issues, purchasing and selling my companies, disputes, as well as general corporate legal work. He has always been there for me through both good times and bad. He is extremely responsive and thorough. He knows not only Wisconsin employment law almost better than anyone, but is also a great litigator/negotiator. His firm has also attracted several like minded individuals with legal skills and experience that compliment Mike's own expertise. Since I have worked with almost every Tier-1 law firm in Wisconsin over the years (in addition to some big firms in Chicago, New York, and Boston), I would say Mike is just as good (if not better) than any of those firms (or the best attorneys at those firms), and obviously his bill rates are much more reasonable! Mike is by far the best attorney I have ever worked with.

In late 2014 I decided, along with two partners, to start a small business developing smartphone applications for Android and Apple devices. My partners and I decided to move from brainstorm to business after we realized we could be making money on our fun side coding projects. We quickly found out that having an idea for a business is much different than actually forming a business. We approached Mike with questions on what it takes to form an LLC in Wisconsin. Mike was generous with his time, knowledge and advice. We found out we needed much more than the simple LLC documents. Over the course of a number of meetings, Mike and his knowledgeable and qualified attorneys walked us through all of the legal considerations involved in starting a business with partners. Mike’s firm drafted our Operating Agreement, LLC paperwork and anything else that was involved with making our business official. Mike was available to answer any questions we had during the process and continues to be there for counsel during our opening months. In our first year of business, we have found ourselves coming back to Mike again and again for advice on matters we would have never thought we would’ve needed an attorney for. Anything from contract drafting and negotiation to advice on how to handle our competition; Mike and the lawyers at his firm have been available and indispensable. I would recommend Mike Erhard to anyone looking to start a small business. He and the attorneys who work for his firm have helped to make our first year smooth and successful.

Talbot refused to take my case when Ben was under him. Ben saw my case and called me 3 days later and he took my case and won. I was a scared 21 year old and he made me feel okay with the whole process. He told me from day 1 that the insurance had 3 years before court and it would take them almost 3 years to agree to settle. He was honest and compassionate. I would hire him again if I ever needed his help.

My philosophy is: If I need the services of an attorney, I need the best. If I don't need the best, I have decided that I don't need an attorney. I have had excellent representation all of my adult life. Others have retires and this guy is hands down the very best of the best.

25 Nov, 2014 by Anonymous

I had a consultation with Ben and it was one of the best time of life. Even though he is highly respected and very rich he is still very down to earth. Ben is a very good listener and lawyer. Without hesitation I would recommend him to everyone because he can see things that other lawyers can't even think of. You need these type of people in your life and of course in your legal battle.

Courtney Ackley represented me after I suffered damages from a contaminated tattoo ink. The case, which seemed straightforward at first, became more complex and involved over time. Courtney was dedicated, hard-working, and informative throughout the process which led to a positive outcome for me, the plaintiff, in arbitration. This was my first experience with legal proceedings and Courtney's support and competence helped me get through a very difficult and stressful process. I would highly recommend both her and Andrew Ackley to anyone looking for representation in a product liability case.

I am so glad to have been able to be represented by Courtney. She was there supporting me whenever I needed! I am blessed to have had her as my attorney. I really needed that with what I had gone through.

30 Nov, 2013 by Erika

I just finished working with Courtney Ackley and I am so happy with the results. This was my first time dealing with anything like this so it was really nice having someone that was so helpful and patient. She was always very easy to get ahold of and never had any trouble answering my questions. She explained every thing to me in a way I could understand which made what could've been a very stressful process so much easier. Never once did I feel anything negative towards Courtney. I wouldn't hesitate at all to recommend Courtney Ackley to anybody.

Lara is not only a top notch attorney but she’s also honest, caring, personable & compassionate. The entire team possesses a rare balance of both heart & intelligence. I cannot stress enough to use these guys...they are simply that good!

I was attempting to manage my own case, and realized I was out of my depth. When Lara took over, the weight of the world was lifted from my shoulders, and I was able to focus on healing from the accident. She has both great intelligence and great compassion. I recommend her whole-heartedly.

04 Jun, 2012 by Katrina alston

Lara Herrmann is top notch and has earned my highest recommendation. She handled my case with such ease, and I was able to get the medical care that I needed. She can be very hands on, or in my case, I preferred to do everything over the phone and electronically. They were amazing, so on top of it and not once did I have to follow up with them to check on where they were at in the process. She will relieve you from many, many headaches and provide the advice you are seeking. I have already referred them two cases, and I plan to continue to send close friends and family their way.

From the beginning, Mr. Hoffman inspired confidence. I know professional pride when I see it. That confidence turned out to be justified. Frankly, I did not expect a good outcome when my case started. In dealing with a contentious divorce that I did not want, and having never been to court in my life, Ryan kept me focused on the things that mattered. He was methodical and persistent, and I ended up with a very satisfactory judgement. Rates were reasonable.

I had the pleasure of being represented by Kevin O’Hara during a challenging time, and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Kevin is the epitome of a hard-working and diligent attorney. He played hardball with the opposition, ensuring that we didn't settle for anything less than what we deserved. His negotiation skills are top-notch, and thanks to him, we achieved a favorable outcome. Alongside his remarkable legal skills, the services provided by his office were great, making the entire process as smooth as possible. I highly recommend Kevin O’Hara to anyone in need of a resilient and effective injury attorney.

Kevin helped me get several times over the other side’s insurance policy limits as he exposed the insurance company for their bad faith. He was easy to reach and kept me informed throughout the lawsuit and answered all my questions...I could not recommend him more. Kevin gives attorneys a good name. Thank you so much.

Jerry brings experience not only as a great attorney and legal consultant, but also as a great human being. His integrity and respect are evident by simply walking with him through the Courthouse; many know him by name, and offer a smile and friendly 'hello Jerry' as they pass by. Jerry brings IQ to the table as well as EQ, and takes extra time to truly listen to his clients. He works through re-enactments, recreating situations and emotions that can help both him and his clients understand actions taken by individuals. He delivers a big city product in a small town package. I wouldn't want to work with anyone else for any legal consultation. Jerry is the best - period.

He's one of the greatest. Mr. Perry has an amount of knowledge that can only be gained through decades of experience. we are talking about a guy that likes to win, and hes damn good at it too. He met with me multiple times a week, made sure that nothing was left out. He didn't just talk about the case he got a feel for it, connecting with e personally before anything else. He has this sense about him, so precise down to the littlest details. Multiple times he took his personal car during time i know he would of rather been home with his family and we went to the spots where various things had happened and it was thanks to his hard work and dedication we were able to win (by a landslide). Being represented by Mr. Perry gave me a sense of relief. i walked away from this experience not only with a clean record but life lessons and insight into the real world as well. Thank you Mr. Perry

If I could give Josh 10 stars I would! My case started with a late night email of desperation. To my surprise I awoke to an email response the following morning empathizing with my situation and requesting a time to talk. When I called, Josh had already discussed my situation with his colleagues and they were poised to gather the additional necessary information from me as well as provide education about the legal principles that applied to my particular situation. I could not have been more impressed. Josh explained exactly WHAT he intended to do, and the outcome he hoped could be achieved as well as each scenario in between. He was forthcoming about how the firm billed, and offered solutions that resulted in no cost to me. Honestly I thought it all sounded too good to be true... but it only continued to get BETTER. Josh answered emails any time of day and kept me abreast of everything going on behind the scenes, he even called me outside of typical business hours. Josh approached the other party in my case with civility and solutions versus aggression and hostility. I feel confident this influenced the other party’s willingness to listen to his suggestions, ultimately agreeing with Josh’s assessment and working for a mutually agreeable solution. In the end, Josh managed to change the course of MY future... he asked for nothing in return and genuinely seemed thrilled for ME with the outcome. If you need someone to fight for your best interest in a work situation...I can’t imagine ANYONE will do a better job!!

I was referred to Joshua Newville by an already capable attorney who told me “he is your guy” for this case. He was absolutely correct! I worked with Mr. Newville for 5 years (Covid delays) before resolution in my favor on a civil rights case. He was always prompt with his responses when I had questions and respectful. His explanations were concise and clear and I was amazed at his insight into the case. I highly recommend this attorney!

22 May, 2023 by William

Joshua Newville delivered everything I could want in a timely manner. We were able to cover a fairly complex situation in just over an hour and he was able to offer me several paths to a resolution while clearly identifying the positives and negatives of each scenario, setting me up to pick the best path available to me. With his assistance, we avoided a drawn-out court process for a favorable settlement in a very timely manner. I could not recommend Josh Newville enough for his ability to simplify the complex, his expertise in discrimination law, and his solution-oriented thinking.

Jared is a terrific lawyer. He was very approachable, listened thoughtfully and did a good job for us. He was always available for questions. We would hire again if needed.

Jared Miller is the very best, Tribal attorney I have ever met. When I first contacted Mr. Miller, I left a message, within a couple of hours he called me back. Mr. Miller listened to my entire story without interruption, he is an incredible listener to my legal issues. It is after, I had expressed your concerns, he begins to focus in what the issues real are, confirming with me as we further our dialog. Mr. Miller really cares about my legal problems, never showing, to pressure me at all, he does not work that way, like other attorneys have in my past. Mr. Miller's legal acumen, knowledge of the law is far advanced & superior. In other words, he knows what he is talking about. I have found my experience with attorney Jared Miller as been an incredibly wonderful experience. I would highly recommend him to family & friends. He is a 5 star attorney! Respectfully, Rod

I formally worked as a young professional in high-level management roles, the most recent being a combined role as a Senior Director of Operations and a Nursing Home Administrator (NHA). I contracted a severe, life altering illness (listeriosis) as a result of food poisoning. It caused permanent brain damage resulting in significant, lasting deficits that ended my former career. To be brutally honest, the effects have been utterly devastating. However, I am so thankful to Eric and his colleagues at PritzkerOlsen. He led the team that helped ensure some measure of accountability to those we believed responsible. Nothing can ever make right the injustice done, but his caring nature and his desire to doggedly pursue the case make him a hero in my eyes. I am now able to begin to think about what is ahead as I seek to find my way through a radically changed reality without constant financial worry. I also don't have to rely on my parents for financial security the remainder of my life. For an advocate like no other that believes in what he does and will work to hold those responsible accountable, you could not ask for anyone better than Eric Hageman.

I am a young adult that was involved in a terrible, life changing accident. I was terrified for what my future held. Without the help, guidance and unwavering support from Eric Hageman, I would not be where I am today. Not only did he win my case with an outcome better than I could have ever imagined, but he truly saved my life. Throughout the whole process, Eric stood my side and was a warrior for me when I was not strong enough myself. Eric is personally invested in helping to rebuild his clients lives every day. I am forever grateful for his hard work, dedication and compassion.

As a fellow attorney I have referred many clients to Eric over the years. In fact, if I ever needed a personal injury attorney for myself I would call Eric.

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.

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.
