I had the privilege of working alongside Lucy Martin at the New Hampshire Public Defender. She always fought hard for her clients. Lucy has mad trial skills, and commanded the courtroom. Skillful, knowledgeable, conscientious and hard working, Lucy had the respect of bench and bar, and her clients were always very pleased with the results she got for them. You can't do any better than to hire this woman as your advocate. She'll fight hard for you!

I was fortunate to work alongside Lucy at the NH Public Defender's Office. Lucy worked hard for her clients, and always went the extra mile. Tough, practical, conscientious, knowledgeable, with mad trial skills - this lawyer has it all. Lucy was a real fighter and commanded the courtroom. She always had the utmost respect of bench and bar, and her clients were always pleased with the results she got for them. You'd be very wise to hire Lucy as your criminal defense lawyer. I highly recommend her services.

I called him because I was fired after 10 years working for my former company. He did not only help me to win the case but he discovered that the company had been paying me less overtime in every single paycheck for the last three years. Thanks !!!

At just 21 years old, my entire life changed, I was facing multiple false accusations resulting in multiple felony charges and facing a possible lengthy prison sentence. I do not come from money, I’ve never been in any legal trouble, I’ve never even had a speeding ticket, and all of the sudden all of my money was exhausted fighting this and it was looking as if I would be serving time for a crime I didn’t do. Logan stepped in, walked me through every step of his plan, took calls when he didn’t have to, listened to me rant and worry, never judging me, he listened to what I had to say, he promised he’d do the best he could, all while him and his wife were welcoming their baby into the world this man found the time to be there for me. Almost 3 years later, I am felony free, I am free of all charges, I have a 6 figure paying job, I just bought my first house at 24, and I get to start my life over. Life throws situations at you that you’ll never understand how or why, but Logan is a man that will use everything in his power to make those questions go away, make your nightmare a thing of the past, and make you look forward to life afterwards. When it comes to legal representation, a friend, and a good man, Logan exemplifies everything you could need in an attorney. He will have my business as long as he’s in practice.

Let me start off by saying I can't thank Logan enough for all his hard work. He took on a family member's case, which was very intense. Logan took the case head on and helped us remain calm through out the entire case, which felt like a roller coaster as we hoped we wouldn't hear the worst during each court. Logan was reassuring the whole time and responsive. He was in constant communication with all of us, and there were many of us constantly seeking updates. There was no question that was too dumb, nor did it phase him when I asked the same questions rephrased, as I wanted to make sure I understood. He was always very professional and checked in with us before walking into each court to give us a run down of what to expect, and gave us a summary as we walked out of court and told us what the next steps were. This case was a big deal because we were looking at a 10-15 year minimum sentence, and he got us the best deal possible. Jail time came out to 270 days. 270 DAYS! How Logan did it, I don't know, but he truly worked him magic and fought hard for us. I could not thank you Logan enough times, he got us out of a life altering jam. Highly recommend him!!

I'd like to start this reviewing by stating that this was my first time ever finding myself in legal trouble and it was for a false accusation that threatened to destroy my business and career, and, as the sole provider for my family, it put us all at extreme risk. Needless to say, this situation was horrifying and highly traumatic. I found myself in a place where I desperately needed someone to fight for me, hear me, and protect my business and my family. Unfortunately, the first place I turned to was a different firm unassociated with Logan Noblin. That firm was my first experience with a legal team, and the moment after I fired them and hired Logan it was plain to see how exceptional Logan is, and lightyears beyond the team I was working with originally. Logan was everything I thought I needed and more in an attorney. He was professional, strategic, compassionate, and, most importantly, someone who fought for me from our first moment to our last. He made sure I always felt informed of what was going on with my case, and understood the options. He never made me feel pressured or like we were going to give up. He listened to me when I had a concern or an idea. His performance in the trial was brilliant and it was obvious he had studied every angle he could use to help our case. In the end, Logan got my case dismissed, and saved me and my family from this nightmare. I pray and hope I never find myself in a legal situation ever again, but if I or anyone I knew needed legal help, I would without hesitation turn to the best attorney out there: Logan Noblin. Do yourself a favor and hire him. It could be the most important decision of your life. Thank you Logan.

Marc's law firm was there for me when no other attorney would take my criminal case. I went with Lisa a few times to court and she informed me about my case status when Marc was out to court and not available. She was very friendly and knowledgeable about my case.

I hired attorney Koenig on a criminal matter. She sat me down and explained my statutory crime, the criminal process I was facing, along with potential options to explore.
Attorney Koenig guided me through the system and the fear I first faced, vanished, because I just knew I was in excellent and professional hands.
Needless to say, I was given the best possible outcome and the fee was unbelievable.
I referred attorney Koenig to a friend of mine on a non-criminal matter and she was very satisfied with her case as well.
I would recommend attorney Koenig to anyone and everyone.

Robyn and I graduated high school together, many years ago, which is how I know her. Robyn has always been polite and well-spoken. Recently I found myself in a situation with a former employer that was a surprise to me. During this time in my life, my livelihood was turned upside down. Even though I knew Robyn prior to my case, I was not aware that Robyn was an employment attorney, until she reached out to me regarding another case that my name was brought up in, that she was working on. On that same phone call I questioned Robyn about the type of law that she practiced. Robyn informed me that she was an employment attorney who dealt with employees that were wrongfully terminated, discrimination, retaliation, etc.. This information is what I needed to hear at that time. I asked Robyn if she had time to speak with me briefly and to look over some paperwork that I had received a few weeks ago regarding my wrongful termination with my former employer. Robyn agreed. Robyn took notes as she listened to my concerns and advised me that she would look over everything including my paperwork and would return my call to discuss the matter further. While I waited to hear back from Robyn I started to Google her to find out information regarding her and her prior cases. I was in awe with the information that I found out but not really surprised due to the person I knew in high school. After researching Robyn for several hours I knew that she was the attorney that I wanted to handle my case if she deemed that I had one. Robyn returned my call a few days later and agreed to handle my case. From that point on Robyn has been very thorough with me, upfront about all of my options, and has worked tireless hours on my case as well as keeping me informed. Not only has Robyn been professional about handling my case, she has also been there to assist me through some dark times. I feel as if Robyn can sense when something is wrong and will call to check in on me. This has not been an easy journey but I could not have picked a better attorney to represent me during one of the worst times in my life. Robyn has also had my best interest at hand through all of this while standing firm with the other side. Robyn is the epitome of excellence when dealing with her clients. I highly recommend Robyn Smith. Robyn is the best out there!

I cannot say enough good about Robyn as an attorney and person. I had a situation arise that needed legal assistance and eventually representation and I am beyond blessed that I was led to her. From the first time I reached out to her I knew she was the person that could help me navigate a very difficult period in my professional and personal life. I found her at a time when most others were failing to even acknowledge me as a person and it was affecting me in ever way imaginable. She was patient, open minded, open hearted and genuine in a way that shows without words that you've got a fighter on your side that won't back down.
She took the time to get to know me, my situation, and is doing all she can to advocate for me and be my voice. She has helped me to be in the best possible place mentally and emotionally while guiding me through my suit.
She can be tough when she has to be but she handles those times with such professionalism and decorum it's enviable.
Robyn is incredibly hard working, dedicated to honesty, and doesn't roll over when other attorneys might. She takes her cases and her clients seriously and really works to right the wrongs. She knows my case and I backwards and forwards and has quite an admirable respect for the law, due process, and fair working environments for all workers.
If you have been wronged and need legal advice or counsel I can't recommend her highly enough. With her experience and knowledge of federal and state laws I guarantee you can't go wrong.

I am a military member who Chris assisted in a case involving a default judgment against me (pro bono). He had it vacated, scheduled a trial, completed discovery, and set a trial date within 4 months to correspond with a leave period I had. At trial, he exposed the other side's witness for the liar he was, and I ended up with a judgment in my favor!

Chad helped me with a speeding ticket. I originally had 4 points taken off my license and he got it down to 0. Through the whole experience he was very reassuring and answered any and all questions I had right away. He was very knowledgeable and knew exactly how to handle the situation professionally. Chad kept in touch with me regularly to keep my posted on how the situation was going. I also felt very comfortable talking to him and trusted him to get the job done well. I would definitely recommend Chad and will go to him again if need be.

Chris helped me during a very difficult time in my life. He was patient and honest from day 1. He was committed to my case, willing to listen to every detail without rushing me into any direction. I believe there qualities are very important, especially during a time when you need help, guidance, and professional strength on your side. Mr Chris is a natural professor and he will teach you, as he taught me, the legal process before you forego the journey. I wish I could be more specific to prove those attributes, but cannot here. In the end, I was very blessed to receive Mr Ellison's professional support.

Undoubtedly the Best Collective Attorney's Office of the Greater Kalamazoo Area... Incredibly well versed and energetic staff. Customer service is top of the line! If they typically wouldn't help with the issue at hand, they will find a way OR refer you to someone who is also well qualified. They will meet you where you are at and are very understanding that life happens. They not only give one advice, but go well beyond that in making sure the case is handled the best and most proper way available. I have had nothing but success with this Law Firm over the past 3/4 years and hope to see them continue to help residents of the Greater Kalamazoo Area for years to come. I definitely recommend them for many affordable services... Give them a call to see for yourself!!

I am very satisfied with my representation by Leslie Payseno. She not only is a great attorney who explains everything but she actually is a Counselor at Law. She cares about her clients and truly helps you get through the toughest of times in your life. She promptly responds to emails and keeps you informed on your case. I found her to be extremely fair in billing as well. Knowledgeable, skilled negotiator, no drama, and professional. Thankful I chose her to stand on my side. She is an attorney for all the right reasons. I will be recommending her to all my friends and colleagues.

I retained her, as the plaintiff, and find her to be fair, realistic, and effective. She explains well the probable outcome and reviews possible alternatives, preparing her clients for all possibilities, giving one confidence in the result. I would highly recommend!!

I am not the best writer, so all I can say is Mr. Lodge was wonderful to work with, he explained everything, was very available, and got my divorce done. Thank you and I recommend contacting his offices if you are thinking about a divorce.

19 Dec, 2009 by Tina
Mr. Lodge worked on behalf of our business on two different cases. The first case involved an ongoing dispute we have had with another business. Mr. Lodge first negotiated with the owners of the other business and then set up some mediation sessions. After only two sessions, and some rather complex discussions of possible resolutions, Mr. Lodge put together a comprehensive solution, which essentially ended our years-long dispute.
The other case involved a court action that Mr. Lodge filed and argued in court. I was impressed with both the pleadings and the arguing in court. Before a trial, Mr. Lodge reached a settlement which I felt was excellent. I would recommend Mr. Lodge and his assistants to anybody who needs an attorney or mediator.

Mr. Lodge was extremely personable and really made me feel he was on my side and fighting for me. He also was reasonable, and was able to work with my ex-landlord in a way the other attorneys could not. He won a very important case for me and I am forever grateful.

Mr. Katon was a breath of fresh air, after my innocent son was dragged into a dispute between his landlord and a third party. Lawyers in this dispute were unmindful and disrespectful of my son's rights and obligations as a tenant. Mr Katon stepped in, communicated respectfully to all parties, and received quick acknowledgement of the tenants' rights.

I was Glenn Katon's client for over three years. He led the legal team in a landmark civil rights case.
He has the uncanny ability to make the most complex constitutional arguments easy to understand. He points out how large complex legal issues are relatable in day to day life. He gave his clients updates on what was happeneing by conference calls, emails, letters or text and personal meetings. He filled me in on what was next and what I should expect, and addressed any questions a community member or coplantiff had openly and honestly. Glenn was approachable, kind, direct, affable and driven.
I whole heartedly recommend Glenn Katon to anyone needing his legal services. His very presence in Court will give you comfort in knowing 'equal justice under the law' is right around the corner thanks to Katon and those like him who continue to fight for the little guy.

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.

It’s important to clarify the fee structure during your initial consultation to avoid unexpected costs.

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.
