Jon is the go-to expert for post-conviction matters in Virginia. He is exceedingly skilled, has more experience with post-conviction matters than any of his peers, and his work is as thorough as it gets. With post-conviction claims, you need a lawyer who knows exactly what to look for, searches for it with a fine-toothed comb, then has the legal acumen to turn what he found into a compelling argument for justice. That's exactly how Jon approaches every case. Highly recommended.

As a former Chicago native I knew a local, professional and reputable legal team was going to be essential for me. Especially since I was out of state. David and Colette’s attentiveness, clear lines of communication often times within the hour were very helpful. They had insightful suggestions which cleared up any questions and concerns I had throughout the process. The legal team at Merel family law is worth the investment.

I knew I was in great hands when I spoke with her. David was awesome and worked my case with a sense of urgency that I needed. My account was reinstated faster than I expected. I will never choose any other firm to handle my issues with Amazon. I highly recommend!!!.

I cannot begin to express my gratitude for the Giampolo Law Group who helped us navigate an incredibly painful year—both legally and emotionally. Angela provided expert legal guidance with great compassion when we had to navigate the complicated trappings of losing a loved one. In our grief, she and her team seamlessly helped us honor our Queer brother and his wishes. And then Trump was elected. Again Angela was an invaluable resource lending her legal brilliance with great aplomb and speedy action to help secure and protect our Queer family in light of the real threat to LGBTQIA+ folks. I sleep better knowing that The Giampolo Group has provided us with the legal paperwork and counsel to keep my family safe. ~Brent Satterly

Estate planning can seem overwhelming and scary, but the experience we had with the Giampolo Law Group was very empowering and personable. All should do this, especially members of the LGBTQ+ community in order to keep control of your assets and make your wishes known. It’s so important to protect and defend the life that you built together regardless of the future threat to marriage equality. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts- Jen & Donelle

Oh my God! Never in my wildest dream did I ever think I would need a lawyer, but I am blessed to have Mr. Orlando as a friend, who was able to get Mr Scott (my lawyer) to reach out to me ASAP. Being on workman comp really blew through my savings. The firm was very interested in my case and encouraging. When the settlement finally came in, I was satisfied, but my lawyer wasn't. He said, "That's not enough for what you went through, let me see if I can get maybe 5K more for you". Well he did better than that, he got me 12K more! The check cleared and I'm hoping to never need a lawyer again, but if I do this firm will/is my only choice.

The consultation with secretary/answering/paralegal was off putting. She asked questions that made no sense, Then asked why a case was put off by a solicitor for so long? That was a very huge red flag... Next when I told this assistant I wanted to do the attorney consult for $350 she starts asking me more questions? I'm assuming she misheard my request but at this point I was past wanting services with this firm. When I told her thank you but ill look elsewhere, she laughs and says "We've never lost a case". Unfortunately you lost a potential client. So 1 star.

I would like to first to thank David and his team for resolving my case in a professional manner. The case was unique in respect but I felt from past performance and reviews I made the right decision on choosing his firm Dave used his experience and expertise from his days with the Manhattan’s da office as a prosecutor Dave and his team take each case as personal experience knowing what the clients are dealing with and trying to resolve and he is there from start to finish it’s the personal touch that he offers that some of the larger law firms can’t offer His honesty and integrity is also what makes the difference I would have been lost without Dave and his team I consider him a great friend and someone I would highly recommend to anyone that faced similar challenges as I did David is there for the individual and family in law practice and if he can’t handle the case he will work along with you to find a firm to help you he is very dedicated to his career helping people out in legal matters thank you so much for helping me in my case and honest google review from other clients. That helped my decision is find a right attorney as well

Hired Sarah. Witness call police and stated false accusations. There was a level of being innocent relative to the charges filed. Sarah worked through the situation and provided me the best results possible. For me its not about her wins, losses, or charges dropped. For me it was her guidance and providing me a path to work the situation. This is what I would like to acknowledge her for. She also told me in the most professional and polite way to shut up and let her do her job LOL. She proved her working relationships with the courts and DA to be another item she should be praised for. Especially where discovery video is concerned. What normally takes the average person 2 to 4 years to complete, I was done in a year, she also had a major charge dropped for me. I waited to provide a review until now, everything occurred in 2021 and as stated earlier I had everything wrapped up in a year because of Sarah...except one thing, which was beyond her and anyone's control. That is now done, and for complete closure concerning the situation I thought it would be good to do this review now. I greatly appreciated her as my attorney. I would recommend her to anyone immediately. My wife and I thank her for her time.

I had a case from many years ago that I never took care of as I am from out of state. I contacted Scott to help me with the process while still being out of state. Scott was patient, kind, and answered all of my many questions to help me get through the process as much as possible. It was a very scary experience to go through but Scott reassured me that he would take care of everything and he did. I felt that we were in good hands and I trusted him, which is surprising since I don't trust anyone. Thank you Scott for the help we really appreciate all you did for us.

Our daughter was involved in a tragic accident at a major amusement park. We felt that those injuries and lack of care were the result of negligence and/or incompetence. We conferred with friends who were experts in the legal field and recommended the law firm of Lagomarsino and Associates. It was the best decision we could make as a family. From our original consultation to trial, Andre Lagomarsino, was hands on with preparation, direction, and organizing the case. He was extremely efficient! His professionalism was mirrored by a host of associates, para legals and administrative staff. We were invited into the comfort of a legal family. Our daughter suffered long term injuries including seizures and short-term memory loss. The Lagomarsino team invested years of investigation and research on our daughter’s behalf. The legal team made sure she received excellent medical intervention, ethical treatment and wrap around services for her care plan. Throughout it all, we were apprised of the progress and the requisite expectations. As the case delved into the difficult arena of legal minutia and fault assignment, Andre and his team dug in. The Lagomarsino team consulted with medical experts, engineers, scientist and other experts to ensure that all aspects of our case were attended to. As with some cases it can take years to go to trial. This was one of those cases. Andre and his office continued to keep us in the know as to how the case was proceeding. We were expertly represented through numerous depositions and mediation sessions. It culminated with a month-long trial where the team performed brilliantly! The care, professionalism, and the attention to detail of his staff rivals his own. The Lagomarsino team represented my daughter with integrity, excellence and empathy. Most importantly, Andre ensured that everyone involved our case were held to his high standard. You do not understand the necessity of “competent” counsel until you or a loved one is harmed. You can never appreciate the terror of entering a court room facing a corporate monster, that is shrouded by an army of highly skilled lawyers. It is my hope that you have an advocate who is skilled, prepared, and willing to defend you like your life depended on it. Because it very well may. When you are at your lowest, please ensure you have someone representing you who is always at their best. For that, it was our friends, Andre Lagomarsino and Associates. Respectfully, Christopher Hoye III Retired Federal Executive Julie M. Wise Retired Police Detective

Being on workman comp really blew through my savings. The firm was very interested in my case and encouraging. When the settlement finally came in, I was satisfied, but my lawyer wasn't. He said, "That's not enough for what you went through, let me see if I can get maybe 5K more for you". Well he did better than that, he got me 12K more! The check cleared and I'm hoping to never need a lawyer again, but if I do this firm will/is my only choice.

The consultation with secretary/answering/paralegal was off putting. She asked questions that made no sense, Then asked why a case was put off by a solicitor for so long? That was a very huge red flag... Next when I told this assistant I wanted to do the attorney consult for $350 she starts asking me more questions? I'm assuming she misheard my request but at this point I was past wanting services with this firm. When I told her thank you but ill look elsewhere, she laughs and says "We've never lost a case". Unfortunately you lost a potential client. So 1 star.

Greg was incredibly helpful in guiding me through the specifics and recommended a process to follow so I could work through determining if this was a small estate scenario or not. Thank you Greg for your time and expertise. I will be recommending your services to my other friends and family!

I needed a trust attorney and after googling, Mr. Ingerson‘s name popped up with high reviews. I immediately called LA Estate Plan and Mr. Ingerson called me back promptly. He listened to my questions, concerns and gave me advice. I was very impressed with Mr. Ingerson’s professionalism, knowledge, and patience with me as I am very new to this and his kindness. After setting up a date with witnesses and a notary, I needed to make one amendment, Mr. Ingerson immediately drafted up the amended version and had a coworker from his company personally, deliver the revised Trust to my address!! My trust was done within a fraction of a week. I highly recommend Mr. Ingerson and his company as they gave phenomenal service and went above and beyond. I would definitely refer and use their services again. I am very happy with how promptly and with such ease this was done without an office visit. 🙏

I hired the Watson firm for my son, I was being bombarded by firms after initial consultations and decided to hire them because after research they seemed to be the firm that could get the job done. Mr. Watson and Renee H were professional and didn’t give up in spite of a few obstacles....Renee was a pleasure (even though I probably drove her nuts) Thank you for helping me help my son, your empathy and compassion each time we spoke goes a long way in my book!

Attorney Watson paid close attention to the details of my case and was able to reduce my medical bills and negotiate a much higher settlement than I expected. I didn't have to pay anything until my case was resolved. I found Mr. Watson and his staff very personable and welcoming every time I came to visit. I was very happy with the level of professionalism and expertise displayed. I highly recommend the Watson Firm if you think you have a personal injury case and are looking for a great lawyer.

It's a hard pill to swallow when you come to a point where you must debate on whether you should file for bankruptcy or not. After weighing all possible options, I decided to file and was referred to Robert Fox. It had started as an initial phone call with quick questions regarding your income, your debt and your expenses. This is what they call the Means test. After answering all the questions, I was told I was a "good" candidate to file. We then proceeded to schedule a future date to talk again going into further details about my debt and expenses. What was really nice for me was i asked if we should talk over the phone or meet in person. Robert said it was my preference and really didn't mind if I chose either way. He understood that people were busy and couldn't always make time to travel to his office. However, he did suggest that meeting in person would be more personable. That right away made me feel a bit more relieved during the process. It gave me a sense of security in knowing he wanted to do his job and do it right. And if it meant putting a face to a file, then i was all for it. On my office visit, I was greeted by Iris at the front desk. (Please pay attention to her. She is another instrumental person in the process). Very pleasant and nice lady. After meeting with Robert and getting all the things done during our discussion, Iris gave me papers to look over and sign and gave me my list of things to do over the next couple of days. She also told me she would be in contact with me from time to time til my hearing. And in the days leading up to my hearing, she always gave me detailed instructions on everything and anything. Don't worry, Robert was always available for me whenever I had any questions. Now one thing before I end my review. You, as the client, must do everything asked of you by Robert and Iris if you want the whole process to go smoothly and without a hitch. If you do your part, and do it right, they can do theirs correctly. Robert and Iris, thank you for everything. A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Thank you again.

I fully endorse and recommend this law firm! I was facing four serious citations that would have put multiple points on my license and potentially impacted my driving record for years. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, they were able to reduce all of the citations down to just two minor parking ticket fees with no points at all. The outcome exceeded my expectations, and I am incredibly grateful for their hard work. They were professional, communicative, and truly had my best interests at heart throug hout the process. If you're looking for a law firm that delivers outstanding results, this is the one to choose!

First, thank you to everyone who provided a positive review prior to this one. Those reviews lead me to Anthony. After a great consultation at no cost I retained Anthony for a custody case and he was able to handle everything related to that case perfectly. Honest, fast responses, a willingness to be direct with me and a clear understanding of the law lead to a great outcome. I will not hesitate to use Anthony again. I had spoken with a number of local attorneys most of which seemed fine but Anthony stood out. Thanks again, Anthony. You turned a stressful, frightening situation into one that was easily handled and quickly resolved.

Speeding ticket, serious violation (allegedly 31 over)...a mess. I reached out to Anthony, he responded immediately, I got him the info he needed, and that was it. My work was done. His was just getting started. Court date arrived, Anthony attended on my behalf (I did not attend). I received a fine and zero points. I was referred to Anthony by a friend who told me I'd love this guy, and she was right! If you need an attorney, this is The Man - period. He is responsive, understanding, efficient, and really (really!) good at his job.

We hired Chuck after doing due diligence on a total of ten personal injury attorneys. Of the ten attorneys we contacted, Chuck excelled in several ways. Among other things, he was the only attorney willing and able to give us references. We talked to five of Chuck’s previous clients and all of them gave glowing comments about his integrity, demeanor and competency. We fond Chuck to be a straight shooter and results oriented. His knowledge and experience was especially beneficial to our case. For us, he sealed the deal, minimized our stress and maximized the payout. Best free tip came from our sister — if you are involved in a situation where law enforcement has been called, it is an excellent idea to request the police report, body cam footage and police photos as soon as possible. As a victim, you have a right to all of this information and it’s typically easy to make a request online.

I had an outstanding experience working with Jim Miron, his assistant Gillian, and the rest of his team at the Maddox Law Firm on my car accident case. From the very beginning, Jim demonstrated professionalism, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to my case. He took the time to thoroughly understand my situation and made sure I felt supported every step of the way. One of the things I appreciated most about Jim was his kindness and understanding. Since English is my second language, I was initially worried about being able to communicate effectively. However, he quickly put my fears to rest by offering warm words of encouragement and taking the time to explain everything in a way I could easily understand. He was always patient and ensured that I was comfortable with every decision and detail in the process. His knowledge and expertise in handling car accident cases were evident in the way he guided me through the complexities of the legal system. He and his team, of which Gillian was my case manager, kept me informed at every stage, answered all my questions promptly, and made me feel like a priority. Thanks to his and his team’s hard work and dedication, my case was successfully settled, and I am extremely satisfied with the outcome. Jim Miron is not only an exceptional attorney but also a genuinely caring individual who goes above and beyond for his clients. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance. Whether you’re facing language barriers or simply looking for someone you can trust, Jim Miron and his team at the Maddox Law Firm is what you want on your side.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Have you handled cases like mine before?
    Inquire about the lawyer’s experience in cases with similar facts and legal issues.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
