In November, 2013, I first met Andrea regarding my unborn son. My ex decided to cut all contact from me and not let me know anything about the pregnancy. Andrea sent my ex a few letters that my ex ignored. Eventually my son was born in January of 2014. I was not notified. I missed the birth of my own child and the first 4 months of his life because as soon as my ex got the 'okay' from her doctor she left the state. As soon as my ex contacted me asking if I wanted to meet our son, Andrea was on the ball making sure we served her while she was in the state of Nebraska. Of course, the first few court dates the judge granted that jurisdiction be in the state my ex said she was living in. The judge didn't look at all the facts either. (Was not really living in said state at all. Just making it seem like it.) Andrea asked for a re-hearing after the first hearing. Same result from the same judge. We then filed an appeal with the State of Nebraska. In the meantime things had changed and my son had been in Nebraska for an extended period of time so Andrea recommended having her served again. We did, got a different judge who saw what was being done and looked at all the facts. I was able to get some parenting time and overnights in November, 2015. (My case was complicated with jurisdiction which is why this all took as long as it did.) We got a new court date for March, 2016. We were scheduled to have trial. Before we made it to trial, we had depositions with my ex and her attorney. During depositions, Andrea was prepared, on the ball, and adamant to get me what I deserved as a father. My ex's true colors showed along with all the facts. Andrea did such an awesome job, we didn't even make it to trial. My ex agreed to me having 50/50 JOINT & PHYSICAL custody within that week.
Andrea is passionate about what she does and showed compassion during the whole process. Andrea never made me feel like I was just another client. She truly cared about the best interests for me & my son.
After our first hearing I remember and will never forget sitting in the courthouse with my family when Andrea came out & told us that the judge denied Nebraska having jurisdiction. I was so confused/mad/sad, I instantly started crying. Andrea cried with me, hugged me, and told me what we were going to do next. That day showed me that Andrea genuinely cared about me and my situation. Her staff is helpful, always on the ball with returning messages, and just as awesome as Andrea.
If anyone ever tells me they need a good attorney, I'm sending them to Andrea. She is truly the best!! I was blessed to meet her and thank God everyday I did.

Mr.Alex Coolman is the Best Attorney by far that I have dealt with in 27 yrs totalling and 6 Attorneys. He's very well versed with the current legal standards and with the ability and tactics to present those claims to the Courts. And he treated me with decency and respect for my view on the case. The Best reason to hire Mr.Coolman for his expertise is his dedication to your case and because MOST IMPORTANTLY he is a WINNER and that's what it boils down to, can he win. Yes he won for me check the record People v Cooper case# A161632

My case was very unfortunate. Alex was very patient and understanding and took all the time I need to explain to him everything that transpired in my case. He had great ideas and ability to put my ideas in a logical and effective manner on paper. He was always available to talk and responded back to my question in a timely manner. He spent quality time with me and my case and is a very trustworthy attorney. I have dealt with many attorneys in the past and he is by far the BEST!!!

Alex is not only a wonderful attorney, but he's a wonderful and caring human being. Mr. Coolman has a heart of gold and is not money driven but one who is really concerned about his client and the clients well being. Mr. Coolman is one that seeks justice and truth and is a man of his word. From day one he was attentive and very observant and seeks to right.the wrong of his clients. I'm a hard cookie yet the professionalism that this attorney holds would surpass any attorney that I've come in contact with. He is and always will be my go to. There's something special about an attorney that loves his God given ability to serve and put his all into it. Thank you for your service

I needed great attorneys in a short period of time, it was an emergency situation. Some research led me to the Hennig-Ruiz law firm. We spoke on the phone and they had me come into the office and started on my case immediately. They got me exactly what I wanted and did it in the shortest amount of time possible. They were caring, fair and extremely good at what they do. I definitely would recommend them to anyone.

Great team of attorneys, Hennig Ruiz Law Firm is the best. Brandon Ruiz is one hell of an attorney and does amazing work. Their legal team was exactly what many Yelp reviewers raved about, "Intelligent, hard working, responsive and very knowledgeable. Brandon and the team worked very well with me throughout the process." Plain and simple, they are a top notch law firm and I highly recommend them.

As many of us who know the legal system, it can be a very scary thing to confront head on alone. With the help of Brandon Ruiz I was able to actually have a very stress free experience. With the years of experience in employment law the firm was able to resolve my case and guide me through the legal processes with ease. I would refer them without thinking twice to anyone who is in search of loyal and hardworking legal counsel.

I recently hired Kaitlin Spittel to represent me. She is an excellent attorney. Her intelligence and knowledge of the nuances of employment law is outstanding and was a lifesaver in my case. She was phenomenal in assisting me. I hope I never have to go down the road of hiring an attorney again, however if I do she will be the first one I call. Kaitlin, thank you for your hard work. You are an awesome attorney!

I have never had to retain a lawyer before, so I wasn't sure what the experience would be like.
When I had my first meeting with Kaitlin she was very patient with me and listened to all my concerns. She was very upfront and told me what I could expect from her. She not only did what she said she would do, but did it in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family.

Kaitlin was able to help me tremendously with my pending case. She consider how everything affected me, and made me felt. She touched all the bases. This was my first expirience with a lawyer, and she made it very easy. I would certainly go back to her again.
Also, the reception Audrea was incredibly helpful. I had a small time frame to work with, and she made it possible. She also cared a great deal about making sure my case was heard, which was also very helpful.
In the future if I couldn’t use Kaitlins services, I know Audrea would point me in the right direction of someone who would be able to help me.

I hired Attorney Blacknell to represent a family member who was charged with a very serious crime. Mr. Blacknell is a very patient and thoughtful listener. One should not be deceived by his mild manner. He is tenacious, discerning and penetrating getting to the heart of matters. His focus was on obtaining the best outcome for my family member. (One would expect that all attorneys should conduct themselves in such a fashion--but that is not always the case. We learned that from experience.) He was the second attorney we hired to defend this family member. We opted to release the first one. During the proceedings he did not make empty promises or pretty speeches. Nor did he make promises that he knew he couldn't fulfill. He was forthright with us. He presented himself well before the court and the dividends of that is that the court showed him respect. The verdict and sentencing was one we accepted and could live with.

All- If you are looking for a criminal attorney, don't look further. Jovan did a case for me in trial, he was the best attorney I ever met, always on time, professional, did his research to gain a lot of knowledge about my case, fought for me in front of DA's and jury. I am thank full for his support as he really changed my life and didn't allow an incident person to be convicted. Thank you Jovan and god bless you for your dedications and hard work.

Mr. Cosden came highly recommended, we had met with others but upon talking with Mr. Cosden I knew he was whom I was going to hire for my husbands Appeal. Not only is Mr. Cosden very knowledgeable but he has a special way of breaking the same example down in multiple ways for one to understand. He is smart, informative and very knowledgeable. I didn't hesitate hiring Mr. Cosden and cut him his check in full upon hire. He never ceased to amaze me and my gut never strayed I trusted him. Mr. Cosden worked hard on our case he wrote his strategies and when the time came for our Appeal hearing although it was through zoom Mr. Cosden presented our case top notch and fought for my husband and ultimately Won our Appeal. This man here is worth the hire.
Thank you for everything you did and I will always highly recommend you as and when needed.
Sincerely Mrs. Getts

I was in the mist of a pre-criminal case... when I was introduced to Chris, by another attorney. I was delighted to meet such a genuine person. He astonished me with his broad knowledge, dedication to myself and all issues I was faced with. Treating me with genuine respect; He made time to meet with me when I needed him, and drove out of his way to do so. Working long hours routinely and never a complaint.
Chris knew the answer to almost every question I had, or had it within a moments time. He was fully dedicated to my case, and all parts of the puzzle that make one. I owe him my up-most gratitude for all he helped me through.
If your looking for a honorable Grade A attorney, he's your man. Also, the most humble brilliant man you'll meet...a real Einstein.

I was apprehended during a public gathering, disoriented and extremely unprepared for jail, my family hired Mr. Rudolph as my attorney. Court day came, I met him for the first time. His presence was a huge relief. We had a short convo about my info and asked me what did I want? I simply told him a burger, he promised me he'd get me a burger by that night. 3 hours later, got me through the judge and got me released on my way to my burger. This may seem silly, but he is one of the few attorneys that will actually treat you like a fellow human being and not as a client or defendant.
I highly recommend Mr. Rudolph to anybody in need of a superb attorney capable of defending you when all odds are against you. He represented me. Thank you Mr. Rudolph!

Jared did an exceptional job for me. He invested a lot of time & effort handling my matter, going above & beyond my expectations - "hardworking" doesn't even begin to describe it. I wasn't just a client to Jared, I was a real person. And he didn't forget my family, either. I'd hire him again in a heartbeat.

Bryndis represented me on two separate landlord/tenant cases. In both cases, Bryndis did everything in her power to arbitrate on my behalf and only one case actually went to court. Bryndis is an excellent communicator and she listens to her clients and represents people the way they want to be represented, not vice versa. She also is very realistic and explains all possible outcomes so her clients don't count eggs before they've hatched. When she takes you on as a client she is wonderful about making herself available day and night and when she is unable to answer her phone or texts she responds as soon as she is available. Bryndis is a great attorney for the people.

My friend and I hired Bryndis back in December of 2011 after we moved into a building and unit that was completely infested with bedbugs. Bryndis went above and beyond her duties and not only guided me in directions that I could go myself to protect myself ( visits to the tenants union, department of health, building inspector) but she also referred us to a small claims expert. The process was unrelenting, arduous, and at many times we felt like our case may never be resolved but Bryndis kept us positive, informed us of the necessary steps, and she displayed sincerity for us and what we were going through. I'm happy to inform anyone that reads this that she is a great woman with a very beautiful spirit, and that she is a top notch lawyer. After 9 months, we were Bryndis' first small claims case won. The case went from small claims to superior and we were awarded $10,205.00 ($205.00) over the maximum amount allotted for small claims cases. Thank you Bryndis once again for your professionalism and hard work.

The Lincoln Club of Orange County is an organization of business men and women that has supported conservative candidates for federal, state, and local office since 1962. Its ability to engage in political activities, including running its own campaigns on behalf of candidates, campaigns that are often called independent expenditures, has been critical to its success for almost 50 years.
In the late 1990s, the City of Irvine and other cities throughout the State of California began restricting the public’s rights to conduct and contribute to independent expenditures, often by limiting the amount of money that could be contributed to, or spent by, an independent expenditure campaign. From the beginning, the Lincoln Club saw these restrictions for what they were: a direct assault on everyone’s First Amendment free speech rights.
The Lincoln Club determined to fight the erosion of our free speech rights by challenging the City of Irvine in federal court, and we interviewed several leading law firms and legal scholars in search of an attorney who would be committed to turning back these intrusions on our fundamental rights. After a long process, we retained Dr. John Eastman and his Claremont Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence. While we did not doubt we should prevail, anyone facing long and difficult litigation knows no outcome is certain. It was Dr. Eastman who won the case.
Dr. Eastman filed our suit against the city in 1999. When we lost the summary judgment motion in the summer of 2000, he immediately appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, so often a hostile forum for conservative causes. After meticulously briefing and urgently arguing the appeal in 2001, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit decided in favor of Dr. Eastman’s position and overturned in the trial court decision.
The victory that John Eastman secured for the Lincoln Club was complete. Ultimately, Dr. Eastman was able to secure a court order requiring the city to pay the Lincoln Club’s legal fees. More importantly, Dr. Eastman’s success caused cities and counties all over the State of California and beyond to rescind their restrictions on independent expenditures, setting a critical precedent and securing far broader free-speech rights for every American.
Dr. Eastman crafted the master strategy and all tactics at trial and through appeal. It was his energy, focus, and skill that guided our suit through and won a critical battle against government burdens on speech rights. For this, and so many other reasons, the Lincoln Club continues to hold Dr. Eastman in the highest esteem.

I love how he personally cares. Our family has not felt like a pay check to Rick. The compassion and caring he and his associates has been stellar. The professionalism he has displayed should be commended. It is nice having someone advocate for you in the manner he does. I would not hesitate to recommend Rick. He made a painful experience a little better and guided us through a trial like a general. Just an all around great guy.

From our first interview with Mr. Hearn, he has proven himself to be an honorable, brilliant man, who possesses vast knowledge of the law. He carefully explained the details of our situation and pertinent legal information, answered all of our concerns, arranged meetings around our difficult schedule, tutored us in the rules of giving sworn testimony, sat at our side and guided us as we were deposed. We found Mr. Hearn to be a professional, direct, respectful, calm and reassuring, supportive, kind attorney who responded quickly throughout our experience with him. By the time our work together was concluded, we regarded him as a trusted friend.

Ms. Shishkin helped me navigate an employment law issue. She was professional, responsive and helpful. She was able to communicate the law and likely responses from my employer in a way that was very helpful. Ms. Shiskin also helped to provide concrete advice for interacting with my employer that was equally as helpful. Her superb advice and professional demeanor was in stark contrast to other attorneys I interviewed to assist with my particular employment law issue. Other attorneys’ advice was not as helpful or concrete and their focus seemed solely on litigating. Ms. Shiskin used her legal expertise to help me reach the best possible resolution for my particular employment law issue. I recommend her legal expertise and commend her client focus and strong strategic approach.

Alexis Casillas is honest, understanding, reliable and professional. She truly is one of the most amazing, caring lawyers out there. She was a beacon of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited. I remember driving home from our first IEP feeling angry, discouraged and powerless. Our child needed help and we were told that there was absolutely nothing the district could do for us. Knowing that navigating the district's complicated system might be tough and overwhelming, we decided to reach out to Ms. Casillas for help. From the moment we met her, it was clear we had made the right decision. Not only was she an incredible advocate for our child, but her calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor when we needed it most. We are eternally grateful to Ms. Casillas and highly recommend her without reservation.

When I first came to Alexis, I was heartbroken and discouraged by the way the LAUSD was treating our child. We had tried another attorney who had taken our money and not helped. I was a bit traumatized by the process when we found Alexis but - WOW, what a difference the right lawyer makes. It was such a relief to be able to trust that there was someone on our side that knew the system and would advocate for our son. Alexis has known everyone at each of our mediations and everyone has treated her with respect(believe it or not, this is not always the case). She went above and beyond and managed to do the impossible - because of her, we got the services and schooling that the LAUSD initially told us wouldn't happen. At our last IEP, the LAUSD told me that my son was one of their success stories - that would not have been possible without Alexis' tireless championing of him. She has been with us every step of the way, and has made sure that we(my son and my husband and I) are treated fairly and with respect. She has always taken my calls and constant questions and never made me feel like I was bothering her. I cannot recommend her enough.

I would highly recommend Ms. D'Alemberte for her sincere personal approach to cases and her attention to detail. She is a tireless advocate for her clients and has a passion for success. It is rare to find an attorney that is more interested in justice for her clients than the fees charged for her work. I have used a number of attorneys in the past 10 years for a recurring situation and Ms. D'Alemberte is the first lawyer who took the time to research and understand the small details in the law to assist me with my matter. She is extremely knowledgeable and adept with the system, the process and procedures which also is not common among your average attorney.

I cannot say enough great things about Attorney Pate. He was not only courteous and professional to me but very intelligent in dealing with employer. He not only demonstrated skill and professionalism while handling my case but showed extraordinary compassion during very difficult and stressful times.
I worked with him on my situation and I appreciated his honesty and straightforwardness and after assessing the situation presented all the options so that I could make the best, intelligent and well informed decision. He was able to negotiate a better deal for me than the one my company initially offered.
This can be an ugly world and it is nice knowing lawyers such as Attorney Pate to help people right a wrong when they have suffered at the hands of their employer. Attorney Pate is one of the good guys out there and I strongly recommend his skills as an employment lawyer.

In a no charge consultation, he advised me to contact my human resources department regarding the incident. I did so. My company investigated the incident, and it seemed to have been resolved. Six months later, my company took what I believed to be retaliatory action for my initial complaint. I resigned from my employment under duress two months later. I again contacted Atty. Pate who believed I had a discrimination and retaliation case against my employer. He advised me every step of the way while negotiating with the employer. Atty. Pate was helpful when I tried to collect unemployment and the employer appealed twice. My unemployment claim was successful. When the employer would not agree to a settlement, Atty. Pate filed a complaint with the EEOC, and ultimately a suit against the employer. Nine months after my second contact with Atty. Pate, the case was settled to my satisfaction. Atty. Pate kept me informed through the entire process. He was patient and empathetic and worked hard on my behalf against a very difficult employer. I am grateful for his efforts and guidance.

It’s hard to find a lawyer that is personable, very easy to talk to and at the end of the day know their stuff. Patanisha Davis-Jenkins fits that criteria. She is very hard working attorney who goes the extra mile and doesn’t price gouge you like every other attorney I’ve dealt with. Ms. Davis-Jenkins did a Trust for me and the material was very organized and concise and she explained it me in a way that I actually understood. I wish I would have found her much sooner. I’ve told my friends and family this is the only attorney I’ll work with.

Dan Shapiro saved my life. If it weren't for Dan Shapiro I could be in a world of hurt right now. Although I was factually innocent, serious charges had been brought against me by someone seeking to use the legal system to retaliate. And even though I did not commit the crime that I was accused of, my defense wasn't perfect. Certain factors gave the appearence that the crime could have possibly happened. Enough so, that the District Attorney's Office was pursuing a conviction. The Police officer who arrested me had decided that I was guilty or deserved punishment even though I was innocent and and made the scenario worse by lying in his police report to make me look worse.
I was truly crushed as a human being, my family and loved ones were as well, very distraught over the entire event. My life had never been worse than it was at this point.
All of this is over now thanks to Dan. The case has been completely dismissed.
The difference between Dan and other lawyers from what I can tell is this.
1) Dan really cares about his clients. Dan really cares about other people and genuinely wants to help. When Dan decides that he will accept you as a client, he does everything he can to ensure the best result he can get for your case.
2) Dan gets to the root of the Law, stripping away the confusions and complexities which other lawyers bog themselves down in.
3) Dan has a good attitude, is intelligent and is very professional. Judges, Prosecuting Attorney's and Jury's cant help but to like Dan and give credence to what he has to say in the Courtroom. Which might make a difference in how they view your case.
To summarize;
If you want a Lawyer who will really care about your case and do everything he can within the Law to get you the best outcome possible, Dan is the man.

I hired Kevin to represent me in a legal matter involving a workplace issue. During the year he represented me in this matter he was terrific - always available to answer questions and guide me, offered the right legal advice for my case and never backed down against my employer in order to do what was right and legal for me.
I would absolutely recommend him to anyone seeking a lawyer and if need be, I would hire him again in a heart beat to represent me.
I really can't say enough good things about Kevin - he is one terrific lawyer.

Mr. Hubbard superbly handled my case which centered around workplace harassment and intimidation. His professional and attentive approach to my needs throughout the process of negotiation is the reason I am writing this review and would recommend his services to anyone. None of my concerns were too frivolous and he was able to easily adjust his strategy to suit my time-table. I am extremely happy with our arrangement and the outcome of my legal matter.

Kevin and his team listened and asked great questions to understand my issue and handled it with great empathy and care. I always felt that they had my best interests at heart. When I called them they either answer right away or called back quickly - even emailed on weekends. Their guidance was valuable and helped me navigate very difficult circumstances. The outcome was in my favor and I was very satisfied with the results. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kevin or the firm for any legal guidance / issue. They are professionals and care about their clients.

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.
