I am recommending Don Miller highly for anyone who is serious about their freedom! Mr Miller took the time to know not only me as a person but everyone else involved in my case! He studied and never didn't listen to a single thing I told him involving my case! He verified everything including me and I couldn't respect him more for it! He never bypassed a single detail no matter how large, small, where, or who the details came from! He is kind but firm, honest and real! You will not find a better attorney in this state that will put in the hours and fight for you from the first day until the last, even if your case gets drug out for years as mine was! He never gave up on me even after sentencing and continued to fight for me! He won't steer you wrong good, bad, or indifferent!

I had contacted Mr. Tehrani on a recommendation from a friend who is also an attorney. I must say that I am glad to have acted on this recommendation. Without going into details of somewhat unique and complicated matrimonial case, Mr. Tehrani not only proved his level of expertise, but also offered emotional and practical support which can be an invaluable benefit in such situations. I felt that he was there to guide and counsel; he truly took the time to help me reach decisions that will best address my concerns while helping me not get caught up in the emotional aspect of this process. I highly recommend this firm.

The first time I met Mr. Tehrani I was impressed with his knowledge and honesty. He even told me at first that "I dont want you to waste your money", what lawyer says that? He guided me through my divorce like a true attorney and protected my interest's all the way along. He has fought the best, and beat the best. I could not be more happy with the outcome of my divorce and I could not have found a better lawyer.

After dealing with 2 other lawyers, Mr. Tehrani summed up in 30 minutes what I have been trying to accomplish for more than 2 years! While everyone dragged my divorce through the mud, Yasha settled my case and helped both of us move on and rebuild our lives. He is great with communication, always kept us informed and was always available. Thank you!!

Kevin Lafky was successful in my lawsuit for my wrongful termination case, against a billion dollar company represented by a top Portland Corporate firm. I had success on other lessor issues with the firm. Beyond what this firm has done for me, such an advocate for the underdog or counterbalance against Government abuse. Most lawyers are too affraid to help the community the way this firm has helped. I don't care what any website or political complaint says to try to soil this man's reputation, this firm is huge resource to the community and is a better place because of him, by virtue of calling out or prosecuting abuse and corruption that other's won't. This man is like a local modern day Martin Luther king, fighting for the community, by way of calling out nonsense.

All the lawyers in this office have my utmost respect. Not only are they excellent at what they do, they also care about their clients. The leader of this team, Kevin Lafky is increadibly knowledgeable in several areas of the law and fights extremely hard for all of his clients. I have hired this law firm on a couple of different occasions and have always been satisfied with how I have been treated.

..In the early part of 2014, I was searching for good legal representation to help me handle a particular civil matter. I spoke with a few attorneys, but Lafky & Lafky stood out and came HIGHLY recommended by the leadership of a well-known, world-renowned civil rights organization. From the beginning to the end of handling the situation, Lafky & Lafky conducted themselves in a professional, ethical and productive manner. Overall, I was pleased with the results and strongly recommend them to anyone in need of their services. If I should have any legal issues in the future, that are relevant to the areas of law that they handle, Lafky & Lafky will definitely be my legal representatives...

"I had the pleasure of having Nicole Westmoreland representing me on a gun-related case in miami Florida, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome—she got the case dismissed! Nicole was extremely professional throughout the entire process and delivered exceptional results. Her communication was always clear, and she kept me informed every step of the way. While her services were on the expensive side, I truly believe you get what you pay for, and Nicole was worth every penny. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a top-tier attorney."

Ms Westmoreland is special compared to most lawyers. What separates her most is the fact she actually cares. Most lawyers separate emotion which makes them just do work and go home and forget it about it. Mrs Westmoreland has passion and uses it to fight for you. Dealing with her taught me that if a lawyer doesn't actually care they are not the right lawyer!!

In Dealing with Nicole I realized I had the wrong lawyers all along. Nicole Westmoreland won my case for me. Whenever I called her she answered. I asked her how was she always available to answer my calls and give me so much attention and she replied she doesn't take every case that comes her way. She said if she is flooded with cases how could she effectively represent anyone. She just wouldn't have the time. She just makes sense !! Thank you for everything attorney Westmoreland !!

Daniela, pound for pound, may be one of the best discrimination attorneys in New York. Her practice may be small, but she punches far above her weight. My complaint was against an academic institution with resources and clout that made them appear to be invulnerable. Through her dedication, wit, and grace, we stood toe-to-toe with the defendant -- and their massive, predatory law firm -- at every step of litigation. Her confident, commanding presence, and willingness to stand up for you, is deeply reassuring, and she earnest regards you as a partner and an equal in the process. I am beyond grateful for Daniela and would highly recommend her.

I consulted Daniela concerning an employment discrimination matter. Even before being retained, she was very generous with her time. Although I was able to give her only short notice, she prioritized reviewing many gathered documents and provided suggestions to me. This enabled me to meet important deadlines. She impressed me as a very sensitive and detailed-oriented lawyer. She seems to have exceedingly strong loyalty to her clients.

I highly recommend Benjamin. He's smart, quick witted, astute and will do everything in his power to help his client. He's one of the best writers I've ever met and he has helped me with in a number of cases.
He is great at looking at problems from a different angle. It's this kind of broad mindedness that makes a difference in each and every case.

Benjamin recently helped me terminate a contract due to a medical issue which the company was refusing to honor. He researched, informed me about my rights, and assisted me in successfully ending the contract without additional fees. I would hire him again in a heartbeat should I need a lawyer in the future.

Benjamin is a great lawyer! My name was forged on a Vivint account registered in my name for a contract for 3 years, Benjamin stepped into help when Vivint wouldn’t cancel the contract and I was subject to paying thousands; I was selling my home and going through a divorce at the time. He was persistent in contacting Vivint and kept me apprised of the developments every step of the way. In the end, he was successful in cancelling the policy and I’m greatly appreciative for his help. I would recommend Benjamin without hesitation. While I hope to never be in this situation again, should I find myself in a similar predicament, I will call him first.

Eric Dranoff is a "lawyer's lawyer." Having opposed him in a complex federal case I instantly gained respect for him on both a personal and professional level. He was a zealous advocate for his client, but he always remained a true professional in his dealings with me and all of the other lawyers--this is something that I have found becoming more rare after 30 years of practice. Eric sets the bar at its highest level and meets it on a daily basis. He is a shining example of all that is good about our profession.

I have worked with Eric as co-counsel and I have referred clients to him. I have known Eric for over 30 years and know him to be responsive and responsible. He is very intelligent and understands the importance of advocating for the people he represents. He also is quick to identify core issues in a legal situation and is able to deal with the situation at hand in an efficient way. He is my first call when I need co-counsel in NYC.

We were looking for a lawyer that specialized in working with LGBTQ clients and learned about Ms. Thomas on the National Center for Transgender Equality website. Ms. Thomas was the only attorney listed in Upstate NY that specialized in representing clients with the legal process for name and gender change. We were fortunate that Ms. Thomas was in the Capital District. She was prompt with email and phone correspondence and the judge received the paperwork and signed the documents quickly. We would highly recommend working with Ms. Thomas for name and gender change legal representation.

In June 2013, he took my case. Throughout the case, I quite often would have doubts, but he insisted that I stay strong and let the law do its job. He was very professional in the way he handled the case. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. He was sure to keep my family updated with everything that was occurring throughout the whole case. Mr. Womble is reliable and responsible. He has all the traits of an excellent lawyer because that is what he is.

I want to thank Attorney Remington for successfully representing me in a recent citation case. I was worried when I received the citation, but Remington put me at ease from our first meeting. He took the time to understand the details of my situation and was very reassuring that he would do everything he could to help.
Remington aggressive advocated on my behalf. He filed several strong reasoning that convincingly argued my side. I could tell he had carefully reviewed all the evidence and laws around my case. In the end, Remington obtained the full dismissal that he had promised. I'm so grateful that thanks to his efforts, I was cleared of all charges and can put this stressful situation behind me.
His knowledge of the legal system and commitment to his clients is very apparent. Remington truly fought for the best possible outcome. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a dedicated, hard-working lawyer they can trust. His professionalism and ability to deliver made this process much less worrying. I feel lucky to have had such a competent attorney in my corner. Remington genuinely cares about his clients' well-being, and I am sincerely thankful for all he did for me.

One word to describe Remington is.....AMAZING! My husband and I hired Attorney Remington Alessi. He isn't like most Attorney's. From the first day we spoke to him about our case to the very end. He was extremely professional, attentive, very knowledgeable and honest. He knows his stuff! He isn't arrogant, but confident! It's a reason he is named "Texas Chainsaw Lawyer" lol. I love the fact that he isn't pushy. He doesn't make you feel like you are getting on his nerves, and he always had an ear to listen. He truly makes you feel like you matter! Anytime we needed to call him, he didn't make us feel like he was so busy and rushing us off the phone. He wasn't like the saying " Money is time". He listens and is compassionate and caring. Allowing you to ask any question that you need. Also, compared to most Attorney's he is very affordable. And to sum things up, he WON my case, it was dismissed. And this wasn't an easy case to win. So look no further. Go ahead and book him. You are in good hands! I pray I don't ever have to use him again. But if I do It will definitely be him!

This was our first time hiring a lawyer, so we had lots of questions, all of which Michelle was very patient and kind enough to address each and every one. Michelle and her team helped us through a very emotional and challenging eviction case (we as the landlords), and at each step we felt heard and well-guided. We eventually won the case, and we realize there is no way we could have done it without Michelle’s help. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for legal advice who might be a little intimidated by the whole thing, Michelle was so kind and patient and clearly communicated difficult legal speech in regular terms. So grateful!

I was in need of a litigation attorney after receiving a complaint filed by a former employer. I was extremely concerned about the situation due to the truth being distorted in a way that could have caused serious legal repercussions. Ms Aulivola was referred to me by a coworker and after speaking to her the first time she stood out from the other lawyers I had spoken to. Her fees were very reasonable and she was extremely attentive to my matter. Ms Aulivola always made himself available to me by phone within a few hours if I had questions and her staff was very professional. I found her to be a very honest and tenacious person that you want on your side. My situation was resolved quickly and I have since used her again multiple times for contract negotiations and other matters.

The Brad Hendricks Law Firm
The Brad Hendricks Law Firm consists of some of Arkansas’ most professional lawyers.
I am an old man who has traveled the world, and never before I have met a young fellow with the nobility I detected in Attorney Kitchen. I also had the opportunity to work with one of the most ingenious lawyers in the State of Arkansas. This gentleman is efficient in all his professional responsibilities
and demonstrates an exceptional mastery of his skills. In these times when young men and women often have no social graces or respect towards their elders, Attorney Kitchen was very respectful in his communication with me regarding my case and never missed referring to me as mister or sir. He followed high standards of ethical behavior in our attorney-client
relationship. I’d like to crown Attorney Kitchen as a Knight!
Mr. Hendricks, it was an honor to do business with your law firm.

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.
