Mariza is the best lawyer I've worked with over the years. She knows a lot, and she is fast at finding out what her clients need. Her manner in handling my case was skilled and professional but also personable, considerate and encouraging. She always responds to calls, email and texts, usually the same day. Her rates and billing practices are fair, and in my case, extremely generous. Mariza represented me in a matter that most lawyers might be afraid to confront, and she made the difference in the way things played out in the end in ways that only a person of the highest character would know and be able to do for a client.

DRIVEN ATTORNEY – EXTREMELY CAPABLE - INTEGRITY & COMPASSION: HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
I speak very fast. Most people cannot hear as fast as I speak. It has been an advantage in our industry. However, when I am emotionally involved, I speak even faster.
This was a matter in which I was completely emotionally committed. As a business person, I am humbled to say I was a nervous wreck.
Not only did Ms. Lockhart immediately HEAR and COMPREHEND the facts, details, persons involved and research that was dumped on her with great speed during the first hour, but she retained the information and was able to systematically select out, strategize and apply what was needed to win this case. She treated the frazzled me with respect and support. She dignified the entire process. Ms. Lockhart does not judge and understands that sometimes the system can be tricky
Amazing.
Throughout this process Ms. Lockhart worked tirelessly and hit the “Grand Slam” we were looking for. It is clear that she works as hard for her clients as much as she cares for them.
She defends her clients' rights aggressively yet professionally. She earned the respect of both the parties on the other side as well as the“judge”. Her negotiation skills and her knowledge created the best possible outcome.
From our very first meeting, Ms. Lockhart expressed an unmatched energy and assertiveness to get the ball rolling. She listened to the facts, read the evidence, and appraised the situation. She reviewed the facts to verify comprehension for accuracy and then discussed the options and discussed legal safeguards to put our rights first. She allowed plenty of time to answer personal concerns and questions.
Mariza was totally prepared and fought for us at the hearing. In preparation, she gathered information from attorneys around the country to help us through this incredible and potentially heart breaking time. There isn't another attorney in San Diego that could have been as successful in obtaining the goals we established at the beginning of this case.
WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSIONAL, MARISA LOCKHART, TO GUIDE YOU AND PROVIDE YOU CLARITY THROUGH ANY BUSINESS TRANSACTION OR EVEN THROUGH OUR LEGAL SYSTEM. Without the right counsel, you are negatively labeled by the other party; it is extremely damaging, spirit crushing and difficult to rewind the carnage. With Ms. Lockhart by your side, you have assertive, passionate representation.
THANK YOU Mariza; you will continue to be in our prayers for continued successes and blessings!

In early 2014, I retained Monique Alonso regarding a Trust matter. I needed to obtain earlier versions of testamentary documents in order to make an informed decision about pursuing a Trust contest. I was told by all the other attorneys I interviewed that I was not legally entitled to the documents until I filed a formal Trust contest. Monique came up with an ingenious strategy to successfully obtain the documents I needed in order to make an educated decision about my case.
Monique is a trustworthy, extraordinarily competent, and committed advocate. She genuinely cared about me and my case. Monique’s unwavering commitment to the success of my case made me feel confident I had made the right choice. I knew I was in great hands legally which made me feel safe and protected legally and financially.

Monique and her entire team were phenomenal. We were involved in a very complex international business. Things did not go the way we had hoped and everyone came out of the woodwork trying to get a piece of us. Monique and her firm were truly expert in boiling the multiple cases down to several key issues, consolidating some of the cases and then vigorously built a solid fact based defense. They worked tirelessly for 4 years until the case finally came to trial and then performed brilliantly during trial. Their knowledge of the facts was so deep that they were able to not only dissect the oppositions positions, but get their witnesses to change their positions on the stand because of the overwhelming evidence they were able to refer to at a moments notice. We won at trial overwhelmingly., so much so that we were subsequently awarded both expenses and virtually all of our attorney's fees (like seven figures worth of attorney's fees). Huge win! Awesome attorney!

Monique and her entire law office are very professional, informative and helpful. She was honest and fought very hard for us. She always kept us informed and answered all my questions( and I had at least a 1000). She represented our family in a civil rights case and we came out with a great settlement. I would not only recommend her I would use her firm again. In an attorney you want someone you feel is on your side and she did that for us.

I will try and keep this short and sweet. I was represented by a different law firm and after a year they came to me with minimal results and an offer that was basically a slap in the face. Obviously very unhappy and feeling defeated. I turned to Charles Picutta for a consultation. In the first meeting I knew I shouldnt settle with my previous lawyer and I should give Mr. Piccuta a shot. I cant say enough about him and the way he handled my case. After a year with him we settled and he was able to get the maximum for my case. He handled everything with confidence and determination. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer who wants to see results and know they are getting an honest guy!!

Dear Mr. Piccuta,
My name is Heidi, I am the daughter of your client Pamela O. and just wanted to send you a thank you for all you did for my family; It is really hard to describe how difficult and heartbreaking that entire situation was, and I really appreciated hearing about all you did for us. The case was especially difficult for my grandmother, but I know she was very thankful to have an aggressive attorney go to bat for her. Thank you especially for taking our case on a contingency basis.
Best wishes to you and your family, and thank you again.

I switched to the Piccuta Law Group after the firm representing me failed to file a lawsuit for my personal injury accident. My accident involved a high speed collision where my nine month old and nine year old son and daughter were in the car. The former firm was trying to get me to settle my case for an amount they claimed was a “great offer.” The insurance company’s offer barely offered anything to compensate my children and was less than I expected.
The former firm only met with me when they thought I was going to switch attorneys, barely discussed my case with me before that and never took a sworn statement from the other side. The former firm also told me that they didn’t think that we could claim damages for my children. It left me wondering why I hired an attorney to take 1/3 of my settlement if all they were going to do was collect my medical records and send them to the insurance company before settling. I could do that myself.
My experience with the attorneys from the Piccuta Law Group was completely different. I met with Charles Piccuta in person and he spent time discussing my case with me, going over the attorney agreement and explaining the legal process. He analyzed the strength and weaknesses of my case and we developed a plan to maximize my settlement. Within weeks he had filed and served a lawsuit, confirmed that the police were prosecuting the other driver for being on prescription medication at the time of the accident and advanced claims for emotional distress on behalf of my son.
The Piccuta Law Group is a professional law firm and the attorneys earn their money. This is not a “churn and burn” outfit. I couldn’t be more satisfied with my decision to use them and would recommend them to anyone with an injury case.

Mary Ann represented me in a case against a large corporation, and thanks to her, the case was eventually settled in my favor.
When it comes to intellectual property, copyright and trademark, Mary Ann stands as an authority. She's knowledgeable, confident and smart.
Mary Ann possesses other strong attributes. She listens well and easily assimilated my case history with all its complexity. She explains things well and always let me know the best and worst case scenarios as we moved forward. What I appreciated most, however, was that I always felt that Mary Ann was truly on my side.

I had known Attorney Mcgrail for a number of years, first as a fellow volunteer at a non-profit organization where I continue to appreciate and value her commitment to a worthy cause. It was in this context that I first divulged information about a stressful situation regarding an incompatible roommate who was attempting to evict me with insufficiently timed, improper notice. Since I had immediate need of legal counsel, and since Ms. Mcgrail is licensed to practice in Maryland as well as Washington, D.C., she offered to help. Her advice was sound and given the fact that she does not specialize in cases of this nature, I was impressed with the versatility of both her knowledge and skills. Even in the most emotionally wrought moments of my dilemma, she was calm, professional, and at the same time, compassionate. Her advice was sound; decisions not to take action were just as effective as the actions she did take. She reviewed letters and forms I submitted and was instrumental in resolving the case without going to court. Telephone calls were returned promptly. One thing that impressed me the most was her response to detailed voicemail. On a day in which my situation changed dramatically over the course of a couple of hours, I called twice, once to ask Mary Ann Mcgrail to place a call on my behalf, and then, later, to request that she not place that call. Because she listened to all her messages before taking action, I was able to avoid a potentially difficult turn of events. I managed to make peace with my roommate until I had sufficient time to find a more suitable, new home. I remain grateful and urge you to consider hiring Ms. Mcgrail.

As a retired Criminal Court Judge (18 years) and a licensed attorney in Illinois (32 years) I can unequivocally state that Sean Woods is one of the finest attorneys I have ever encountered in my legal career. Sean represented me in a contractual dispute that I had with a less than reputable contractor when I first relocated to Arizona. He not only resolved my case expeditiously but the result he achieved far exceeded my expectations. His knowledge of the law and the legal strategies he employed were brilliant. Sean Woods is an exceptional lawyer and I highly recommend he and his firm The Law Badgers.

We cannot say enough about the support that Tere Ramos provides to families of children with special needs. From the first phone call, we knew that not only would Tere guide us smoothly along the process, but she truly cared about helping our daughter get the services she needed. Tere communicates with both families and other professionals effectively and in a very timely manner, and she uses her negotiating skills to allow the parties to reach agreement in the best interest of the student. We are so grateful to have Tere’s guidance, encouragement, and legal knowledge supporting our family.

As a startup and venture capital executive, I've sometimes found it difficult to find attorneys that appreciate the San Francisco startup culture. That's not the case with Antone - he gets the dynamic nature of the investor/startup/executive relationship. He's responsive, smart, and communicates clearly.

Highly recommend.

I worked with Antone for years when he was General Counsel of eHarmony. Antone is a highly experienced and talented attorney. I can't say enough good things about him. He is a very quick study in the very few areas he does not have deep experience in. He has an amazing business sense that he mixes with all practical, legal advice.
He knows how to handle disputes in a highly strategic and cost efficient manner. And, to top it off, Antone is a delight to work with and a genuinely nice guy that you will learn to trust as your advocate in no time at all.

Attourney Lalima is super effective at getting the best results for your case. He knows the ins and outs of the legal system, and his ability to use strategy help give his client's a better advantage in their case. I could not be happier with the effort and time he spent on my case, and the outcome so far has been better than I could have hopes for. He's also, a very down-to-earth lawyer and makes you feel like you are in good hands! I highly recommend him for all your legal needs!

Also his staff is really nice and helpful!

Mr. Burgess and his team provided exceptional service and, frankly, unexpected positive results in a Federal Whistleblower Retaliation case just over a year ago. Due to Mr. Burgess, determination, knowledge, and artful management of the hearings, we prevailed. In addition, Mr. Burgess negotiated an acceptable settlement to a separate Discrimination complaint (EEOC) brought against the same Federal agency. These cases are complex and quite difficult with the purse and legal infrastructure of the Federal Government stacked up against plaintiffs with limited resources. Mr. Burgess took the Federal government to task twice, on my behalf, and prevailed both times. Mr. Burgess passion was evident throughout the process. Mr. Burgess' remarkable oratory skill was on full display during extemporaneous closing remarks where he pulled together two days' of witness testimony and key points from hundreds of pages of evidence to close the door on the Federal attorneys' arguments. When Mr. Burgess finished, the opposing team looked resigned and simply shook their heads. I recommend Mr. Burgess to anyone who needs representation in his areas of expertise. I will certainly seek his counsel again if I am ever in need of legal representation.
Thank you John. You are a very good attorney and I appreciate your professional ability. More importantly, I appreciate your compassion and support through a very difficult and lengthy process. Your belief in me and the fact that you took the time to listen and empathize made all the difference. Thanks for taking the time to be real.

Here is a letter I wrote Rafe after he represented me. I am not internet savvy at this type of posting so not sure if this is the right way to add a review, but felt so strong about this man's professional excellence I wanted others to know. I have used a few attorneys in my life for different needs. Rafe Foreman is in a league all his own.
Rafe,
Thank you very much for this update. I really appreciate all the
strength and support you provided to me with this. It is still
amazing to me how they operated and what this all turned into. I hope
to not ever have to deal with these kind of people again, but if I
even sense something close will seek your legal assistance from the
very beginning.
I have no doubt that had I worked with you from the beginning, none of
this would have happened and even if I had still ended up losing my
farm to them, it would have been a planned process with respect rather
than the trama that occured.
Thank you for helping me handle the emotional stress of their threats
to my reputation and life...I had never had anyone treat me that way
before and I was blindsided by them. I am doing well with my new
promotion as well thanks to you, I followed through with the
application / interview and kept going with my life during all of
this.
We live and learn...I have learned from this that sometimes you have
to proactively fight versus wait til a last resort while relying on
process to always promote fairness and for someone else to do what is
right...I have also learned that not all attorneys are the same...you
care more, work harder and have the talent to excel. I feel very
fortunate to have found you. If you don't mind I would like for you
to be my attorney for life, although I hope you will never have to
work on anything such as this for me ever again.
I think you are a tribute to your profession and to humanity...not
just for your victories...but for the way you steward your power and
heart in your work and your life.
Sincerely,
Jeanne Ann

Rafe and his partners Susan and Kern are without a doubt the most professional and outstanding attorneys I have ever been around or worked with. Combined they have the tenacity and are willing to put in the hard work necessary to be successful for their clients. Additionally, they are completely supportive and honest with their clients. Rafe and his partners are exactly what attorneys are supposed to be and I am glad to call them not only our attorneys but also friends.

My Favorite thing about Rafe is that his approach involves taking an aggressive stand when necessary. BUT>>>At the same time, he understands the value of resolving matters amicably if possible. To that end, he often uses alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation, in an attempt to negotiate a fair and equitable settlement for his clients.
Rafe understands that during the legal process, you will be faced with numerous choices and options. He firmly believes that open communication with his clients is crucial in order to achieve the best possible results. As your attorney, he will keep you informed to help you understand the potential consequences of any choice or legal action. TOGETHER, he will work with YOU to reach decisions designed to achieve the best possible outcome under the circumstances of your case. Rafe will use his education and experience to provide the highest quality, most creative, and strongest representation possible.

Marilyn and her team did an amazing job for me. This was my first time needing an attorney and I immediately could tell that Marilyn took my case seriously. She listened, gave honest advice, her communication was timely and always let me know what to expect as far as next steps. I always felt she was fighting for me and during my 2 year long case, she has as much enthusiasm on day one as she did when the case finally wrapped up. She is the best!

After being represented by an attorney who did not care about me or the outcome of my case I was referred to Marilyn. Although the outcome of my case remains unresolved and uncertain at this time, I know that Marilyn will do everything possible to see it through and to get me the justice that was squandered by my last representative. Marilyn shows genuine interest in my case and I completely trust her as we move forward to what I know will be a positive outcome. I HIGHLY recommend Marilyn and her firm to anyone that seeks justice. She's awesome!!

I was recently in a difficult--and frankly, scary--dispute with my landlord, and initially felt completely intimidated and overwhelmed by the situation. I talked to a number of attorneys, including several of the more well-known tenant's rights firms in the Bay Area, many of whom gave me the run-around, or agreed to handle some aspects of the case but not others.
I'm very grateful that I finally connected with Jason. He took on the entirety of the case, and developed an overall strategy to navigate the complexities of the situation. He handled the case with great skill and competence, and brought it to a very positive conclusion. He's a clear, strategic thinker, fair-minded, and not intimidated by the bullying tactics one encounters in these situations. And he really is just a good guy, and treats his clients very fairly and honorably.
If you find yourself in this kind of situation, look him up!

I don't have the words to accurately describe my feelings about Harrison Law Offices. From the moment that I first reached out to them, I knew that I was in great hands. The office was always professional, responsive, and courteous.
When I initially called to ask a couple of legal questions, I had no idea that my questions would turn into a case but when it did, I didn't hesitate to reach out to Jim, who advised and guided me through the entire process. I recall a few of the words that he told me that day. "I'm on the team," he said.
Funny to say that throughout a six month ordeal, we only ever met face to face once because of the pandemic. I'm sure their normally challenging job was even more so because of the difficulties associated with the lockdowns and Covid-19 gathering rules. Every challenge was met and I am so pleased to report a positive result. I have no doubt that this would not have been possible without the efforts of Jim and his team and will be forever grateful.
Jim demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of the law surrounding my case from day one and, where the legal precedent was lacking (as it was in my particular situation), he had the ability and knowhow to do the research to find applicable case law in other states and apply it to my situation. It was this effort, in my opinion, that led directly to a win for my side in defense of a post-employment restrictive covenant case against me.
I could not recommend them more strongly and I don't offer that type of praise often. I would not hesitate to hire Jim again and would call him for just about any legal question that I can imagine.

Attorney Jim Harrison showed his intelligence, his commitment to helping us, and his understanding of the issues from day one, and I was also impressed with the his grasp of the practical implications of the situation and the limits on what was feasible. I felt as though he really listened when I spoke, and he seemed to know just the right questions to ask in order to get to the bottom of things. In my case, he was able to resolve the situation in our family's favor and for a reasonable fee. I would hire him again in a heartbeat if I needed a lawyer.

First and foremost, I would like to thank you for all the help you have given me during these past months with the sale of the house and my TOPA rights. I couldn’t have done it all without your consistent effort to make sure I was not taken advantage of because of my TOPA rights. I really appreciate all you did, especially your attentiveness for both us. You were always available when I needed you no matter if you were out of town. You always make it seems as if you were only a phone call or an email away. You continuously made sure I was taken care of even if it was just an email to let me know you are on the case. You are a very good lawyer and don't ever give up that attentiveness you give to your customers. On a scale from 1-10, I give you an 11. I would recommend you to anyone that needs the assistant of a lawyer. You were there even if it was just to listen to me ranting and raving about the unscrupulous nature of the way other people was handling thing.

I met Lorenzo Cellini in August 2007 and was very impressed with the "can do" attitude from a young, hard-driving attorney. Lorenzo is a very detailed and personable attorney who appears to love his job. I feel he welcomes a challenge.
During the entire process of my case, Lorenzo kept me informed about every event and would spend countless hours with me in order to get the facts.
I was very impressed with Lorenzo during one of our mediation sessions when he refused to allow the opposing counsel an opportunity to take advantage of me. Lorenzo had all the supporting facts in every statement he made. He is a warrior.
I must say that having the right attorney is what made the difference in my case. I would highly recommend Lorenzo to anyone who needs a professional, dedicated attorney; one who does not mind being in the trenches and fighting with you. I would not hesitate to seek his assistance again should a similar situation arise.

I have worked with Dan Chapman and the Troy Law Firm for nearly 20 years. My experience with them has been very pleasant and professional. Dan has handled many personal & business contracts as well as my estate planning. In all my past experiences, we have gotten down to business quickly, effectively and keeping costs at a minimum. My bills are fair and I usually know a rough idea of my costs before any projects begin. Perhaps the best thing I can say about this firm is that they bring ideas to the table. Being a small business owner, I don't know what I don't know.... The Troy Law Firm is a nice "safety net" for us.

Cindy won a very complicated case that other law firms considered impossible to win. The attention to detail working on the case leaving no stone unturned and taking the time to listen to all my families concerns was remarkable. Truly blessed to have been lucky enough to get to know Cindy.

I worked with Larry on a case that spanned a year, and would highly recommend him. He is one of those rare attorneys who are honest and upfront on what could and couldn't be done in a unique case like mine. He's extremely creative and passionate about his clients and work. I couldn't of asked for a better outcome. If he takes your case, you are in good hands.

Larry represented me against my former employer - a popular and well resourced tech company in the Bay Area - to negotiate an improved severance agreement. A number of other attorneys to whom I had spoken before Larry were less than optimistic about my chances for success, but Larry agreed to take my case and persevered through some relatively involved negotiations and was able to obtain a severance package that allowed me to realize a significantly larger portion of my compensation than I was initially offered!
He was calm, professional, and reassuring throughout, explaining the process clearly along the way, and scheduled time to talk with me in advance of deadlines when decisions had to be made so I would have time to think and ask any additional questions, if I had them, through each of the stages of that negotiation.
I was particularly impressed by his ability to forge a good working relationship with the company's representatives and make steady progress despite the friction between myself and ex-employer, and tension in the situation due to upcoming deadlines for both sides.
Without his assistance, my family and I would have lost the majority of the compensation I had otherwise been due to receive, and he turned a horrifying situation into something that was much more fair, and much better than I'd expected, which was a huge weight off my shoulders!

Cheryl was referred to me by another attorney for dealing with some unemployment and medical board related issues I was facing. I contacted her while she was apparently on vacation, but she responded to me right away. I spoke to Cheryl over the phone and she was very patient in listening to the specifics of my case and and was thoughtful in her response. She correctly anticipated the actions that would be taken by my former employer and the hurdles I would face, and clearly walked me through the steps I needed to take to defend myself. Thanks to her, I was successful in my appeal and got the outcome I had hoped for. Cheryl is a very knowledgeable lawyer and a caring person, and I highly recommend her to anyone who can benefit from her expertise.

I consigned a vintage car in an action. It sold. The auction house delayed paying me the hammer price. When I enquired about the delay they told me the buyer was disputing the provenance of the car.
At that point I hired Cheryl Ruggerio to negotiate on my behalf.
She was very thorough and quick to understand all the documentation I presented her with and was able to research and fill in all the gaps providing the auction house with indisputable evidence of the cars long history.
She presented the new found information and documentation to the auction house and negotiated a settlement to the agreement of all concerned parties.
Cheryl Ruggierro was a great listener, patient and got right onto it.

Sarah helped us execute an estate plan in October 2002. She came recommended to us by our financial adviser at that time -- What a great recommendation!

We got Sara's help for our estate planning a few years back and she did an outstanding job. Now we are looking for her to help us doing the estate planning for a family member. She is very professional, responsive and attentive to your needs, and most importantly, she explains things in such a way that a person without legal training can understand very easily the details of the process from beginning to end.
I highly recommend her.

My wife used Gonzalez Levenson. She was very pleased with their professionalism. When you are looking for a personal injury law firm, Gonzalez Levenson are two attorneys born and raised in South Florida. They have deep roots in the community and come from great families. Whether it is an out of court resolution or a jury trial of your peers, Gonzalez Levenson personal injury law firm are fearless attorneys that fight to get the compensation you deserve. I would not hesitate to recommend, when you are hurt due to the negligence of another, the injury lawyers at Gonzalez Levenson are the ones to see. They are brilliant and can practice any area of law. It appears that they do focus their practice in the area of motor vehicle crashes, tractor trailer, motorcycle, and car wrecks, however looking at their background, it appears they are so much more than just a motor vehicle crash/wreck personal injury car accident attorney.

I was a client of Ashley's for (what turned out to be) a difficult case. She did a superb job in the end for me, and I was rightly exonerated. Ashley truly loves what she does and impressed me initially by her creative mind and confidence. I would highly recommend Ashley as an attorney.

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.
