Tricia has been immeasurably valuable to my company, from the early stages of startup through scale-up and taking on investment. Her range is broad, from small work like user agreements or large efforts like LLC to Corp conversions or participating in multi-million dollar contract negotiations.
She's responsive, smart and genuinely likable. All around, a valuable resource. Can't recommend enough.

What an amazing experience. I called this firm because they were local to me. I had no idea what to expect, but the reviews looked great so I figured I give them a shout. I got one of the partners on the phone on my first try, wow, what amazing freindly service I got. I consider this firm a trade secret now, I am thrilled to have met.

Jeff defended me and my company in 2010 and his approach proved to be successful. He strikes me as being as much a chess player as a highly focused charging bull. He combines finess with with a sharp intellect and what looks like a smart approach at the practice of law.

We had an unfortunate incident with the NYPD a couple of years ago, involving police misconduct, and Kenneth Smith represented us in both the resulting criminal cases and our civil case against the NYPD and the city. Kenneth's hard work and expertise resulted in total dismissal of the criminal charges we faced as well as a positive resolution of the civil case in our favor. He was compassionate and patient with us throughout, and offered us great advice. I couldn't recommend him more highly.

Dan McGuinness was assigned to me by criminal court in NYC for my DV case. Dan took his time to explain my charges since it was my first time being charged by a DA. He was patient and answered every questions I asked. He was easy to reach, he always got back to me via text/phone calls. I would recommend Dan to represent you. Great knowledge in law. Thank you!

I would like to highly recommend the law firm of Permutter & McGuinness. Dan & Adam recently dismissed my DWI without even going to a trial. It took some time and I was getting anxious, but they told me to keep my cool and allow them to do their job, and did get the job done.
If you have DWI in New York, do not hesitate to retain this firm, as they are probably the best that I ever heard of.
I never heard of any firm dismissing a DWI without a trial, I think God send them to me.

If you are looking for an INCREDIBLE family attorney in San Antonio, please please please check out Mr. Eugene Moore. We are just about finished with my husband’s custody case and we could not be happier with the outcome. We have been going through this since September 2018 (originally with a different attorney - AWFUL) but found Mr. Moore in April 2019 and am so glad we did. My husband is just a dad fighting for time with his son and that’s what Mr. Moore understood. Instead of jumping right into an adversarial stance, he took the time to understand the entire background, the history between the two parents and the best outcome for my bonus son as well as my family. If you’re looking for someone to lay it all out for you, tell you what your best options are and help you get what you’re asking for (within reason of course), while keeping you 100% in the loop and for a family friendly cost, Mr. Moore is the attorney for you.

Very informative. Yolanda gave me plenty of information to move forward with given my particular situation, and even recommended attorneys specializing in my type of case. Phone consult was only $85 and well worth the money. I have email after email of information from her regarding my charge/ conviction and what to expect in the near future. Very polite, professional, and understanding. Would highly recommend. 5 stars.

I hired Yolanda Torres, Esq. to represent my girlfriend for her parole hearing before the BPP for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Ms. Torres is one of the best parole attorneys in Texas who does more than throw together a “parole pack” like so many parole attorneys do. I took the time to talk with several parole attorneys, checking their background and professionalism, and even visiting them before I hired Ms. Torres. She is an advocate who specializes in prisoner civil rights and litigation, in addition representing parole and revocation matters. We wanted an attorney who would give my girlfriend the best chance of coming home on parole.
Ms. Torres reviewed the entire picture for my girlfriend, criminal records, her activities in prison, including behavior, discipline and education, and made a recommendation of what we could expect. Ms. Torres worked closely with my girlfriend, kept me and her family informed of her progress and had a meeting with the BPP members. Ms. Torres is an excellent attorney and I cannot say enough about what she did for us.
It helped that my girlfriend was a model prisoner, doing all she could to better herself and make sure that she was ready to come home to have a good life. She took all the self-help and development courses she could, as well as education programs that should help her get a good job.
Ms. Torres made sure that everything was done right, support letters, interviews, meeting and really advocated for my girlfriend. . The final result is that my girlfriend was granted parole by the BPP and will soon be released from prison. I am sure that without her, my girlfriend would still be in prison and wondering what more she could do herself.
I high recommend Ms. Torres to anyone who has problems with prison officials, or want to give someone they love the best chance of being released on parole. Ms. Torres was worth every penny we paid for her legal services.

I contacted Ms. Torres when my son, who is in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, was the victim of a prison guard who wrote a trumped up disciplinary case against him. The case caused my son to lose his parole release date. Ms. Torres not only had the disciplinary conviction reversed and removed from my son's record, she worked with the parole authorities to have his parole release date reinstated and have my son released from prison. She continued to follow up on the case until my son was actually released and walked out of prison. Without her, my son would still be in prison and have that disciplinary case on his record!!
I recommend Ms. Torres to anyone who is having any problems with prison officials or inside of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

Not only would I recommend Jim, I have recommended Jim to various business associates! First and foremost, Jim Secor is interested in finding a solution to the issue at-hand; NOT padding his bill. While compromise is generally his first inclination, he has absolutely no trepidation about vigorously pursuing litigation if that is what the situation demands. I have worked with a great number of attorneys over the past 30+ years in business and Jim's skills are unparalleled.

Mr. Secor provided us with our best interest as a priority. Very straight forward in keeping us apprised of information as it became pertinent to our situation. He always moved in a foward progress and stayed true to the objection of the goals. His professionalism and diligence is exemplary of why he is considered of the best in his field if not the best. Finally, he was a Navy JAG and service to our beloved country is important to us.

I met Jim about 10 years ago when someone recommended him to me. From the start I liked the fact that Jim did not have an office filled with expensive trophy items, that says alot if you know what I mean. Nothing I can't stand more than "Super This" or "AV" that. As for Jim, he was straight forward and honest. He was to the point and realistic. And we prevailed in my case!
Over the years, I have used him again, recommended him to friends and family, and currently he is our lawyer in a civil case. Everyone that Ive referred him too has had nothing but good things to say about him. Ive come to learn Jim Secor is a well respected honest man, but mostly...Ive really come to like the person that he is.
Thank you Jim for all you've done for me and those ive referred to you! I hope you practice law in Guilford County for years to come! As far as lawyers go, you are truly one in a million.

Mr. Geppert is the best attorney I have ever had. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a win. He keeps you fully informed and gathers all and every document, statement, evidence needed to make your case. He is very quiet but is listenning intently. He is very sure and confident when faced with the judge in court. He is very understanding and sympathetic towards you as an individual and does not classify you with everyone else. He is highly recommendable.
Satisfied client,

An unexpected twist happened in my custody case causing my final trial to be rescheduled and my attorney at the time asked for a new retainer for the new trial date despite that I already paid for the initial trial, which didn’t happen. I couldn’t afford it abut paid it partially. Then he requested even more which left me without an attorney.
I was in an extremely strong position in my custody case but going it at without an attorney would have been catastrophic.
Brian was the third family law lawyer Id hired and will be the last. Not only is he knowledgeable, accessible and affordable but he’s practical and ethical.
A lawyer is a businessman, a person who wants to maximize their earnings.
Brian isn’t a businessman transacting with a client, he’s an advocate for his clients. You will not be billed excessively. Your strategy will be logical and practical and false promises will not be made. He’s not the attorney who’s going to pursue unrealistic outcomes to maximize his billable hours. My attorney prior to Brian was ethical but unaffordable to me.
I promise you my case is more complex and contested than most cases and the amount I’ve paid Brian to date is a tenth of what I’ve spent with other attorneys .
Brian saved me at a time of extreme desperation, if you have custody challenges and have limited funds Brian should be your go to family law attorney. Do not go at it pro-se.

Brian McGiverin = Integrity + Skill + Compassion + Value. I am very fortunate to have found Brian McGiverin to represent me in my divorce decree modification lawsuit. Not only did he win my case against an experienced board certified family lawyer, he has saved me from much grief, loss and future conflict. Brian made the best use of his time with my money. His paralegal assistant, Amy Kamp, was very attentive and supportive throughout my case also. I am very fortunate to have found Brian and his team. I would definitely hire him again if necessary in the future and highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a top attorney who delivers great results for an affordable price.

I undertook my master’s degree in law several years ago. Robert Gaudet, was initially my human rights lecturer and eventually my intern advisor. Throughout my entire education and working life, Robert is the person who sticks out in my mind. He instilled confidence in me and encouraged my ambition at every corner. I have rarely met a person, who I hold in such high regard. He is honest to a fault and unbelievably efficient. It was a pleasure to work under him and I would very confidently recommend him and his services to anyone who is in need of them, without any hesitation.

I had the pleasure of working with Robert on a transnational employment contract on behalf of a Dutch client operating worldwide that wanted to hire an American CFO. Robert provided us with an excellent employment contract that was tailored to our specifications. He added useful clauses that we did not necessarily expect such as an International Chamber of Commerce arbitration clause and non-compete and confidentiality provisions. Robert was prompt, accessible, and easy to work with. I recommend him to any Dutch business seeking assistance with U.S. legal matters

Ray Clausen was interested in my case and understood the constitutional principle behind the"Good Fight." I found Ray to be caring and totally committed to justice. He was willing to listen to me and he took the time to fully understand the case at hand. Mr Clausen also understood that this was not a lawsuit that I wanted and both he and myself sought to avoid. Mr Clausen was extremely supportive and I appreciate his professionalism, integrity and commitment to the law and his clients. I would highly recommend the law firm of Clausen and Severson to anyone in need of legal services.

I don’t think it’s very often you find the two words “reputable lawyer” paired together; however when referring to Fred Melms, it’s a perfect match. Of course you can add knowledgeable, compassionate, considerate, genuine as well as a fantastic communicator inside the courtroom and out. One of the things that impressed me about Mr. Melms is he didn’t try to impress me with his knowledge, nor did he need to. Instead he laid out our case in layman terms, made me feel comfortable and not stupid and he was not judgmental in any way.
I cannot begin to thank him enough for a successful outcome…he’s genius and incredibly real.
Needless to say I highly recommend him. Please know, if he cannot help you, he will be upfront with you and refer you elsewhere if needed.

Lawyers are like doctors, truly. We all hope that we never need one; but if we do, we want, and need, the absolute best. In respect to the absolute best, I can say that I found that in Brendan. As a person of color (more specifically a black male), I unfortunately encountered extreme racial aggression and discrimination on my job. As you might imagine, that alone brought with it great stress. Then, add having to deal with the legalities and legal battles that come along with that. Those two things combined are enough to drive anyone crazy, and they nearly did me. What made my legal journey different was Brendan. I can say unequivocally that he is one of the fiercest, most compassionate, knowledgeable, and responsive legal advocates that I have ever encountered in life. Put simply, he does not play. Past that, the level of kindness and professionalism with which he treats his clients, and approaches his practice, is beyond reproach. If you are reading this now, that likely means that you are looking for good legal counsel. To those looking for “good”, I’d tell you to keep looking. Those looking for phenomenal, Brendan is definitely your guy. It takes me a lot to write a review, but this one was easy to write. I am incredibly thankful that Brendan is a fierce legal advocate for ALL people. If you give him a call, I can say with absolute certainty that you’ll be glad that you did.

I came to Brendan with a very troubling legal issue and he made me feel like he was on my side and explained the issues to me in a clear way I could understand. I always felt like my case was a priority to him, even though he had other clients he was working with at the time. He kept me updated throughout the entire process. In the end, the final outcome was even better than I had hoped!
I highly recommend Brendan... he is a zealous advocate who fights for his clients no matter what the issue is.

I was convicted of assault and battery and I didn’t know which law firm to go with. I found Josue Casanova after I did a google search of criminal lawyers in my area. After speaking with him, I decided to hire him as my lawyer and it was the best decision I could have made. He met with me about 5 times in the span of two months for a significant amount of time and spent a lot of time on my case outside of our appointments. He was attentive, showed that he genuinely cared, and was very personable. He was able to settle outside of court on my behalf and get me what I wanted out of the case. He also didn’t try to get a ridiculous amount of money out of me like so many lawyers try to. Something really neat was that the head of the firm would occasionally join us during our appointments, which was awesome. I 100% recommend Josue Casanova. He is an amazing lawyer and person.

Josh is a very professional yet personal attorney. He cares enough to look over the whole case, to find and act on the inconsistencies in the discovery. He listened and supported my defense without making me feel uncomfortable in any way.

Amazing, wonderful or just two words I would end my conversations with Mr. Finer. Jeffry always took my calls, took the time to explain my situation and was very honest as what to expect. I just adore his assistant Deanette, who is the cutest sweetest lady ever. Even when she had a hectic morning she would stop what she was doing to look for a file. Jeffry and Deanette work fantastic together. Great Team!! My last year was very stressful and with out Mr. Finer there fighting for me my situation would have been a disaster.

Attorney Erickson recently represented my nephew in a criminal case. She went above and beyond to provide him with top-notch representation. She extended compassion and kindness to him and impressed upon him that his future is brighter than he believes. I would not be afraid to recommend Attorney Erickson to anyone. She is not only a wonderful attorney but person as well.

Very professional, knowledgeable, confident and most importantly COMPASSIONATE and kind to a very nervous old lady. I was terrified of being questioned. I tend to babble incoherently when i'm nervous. Joshua went over my testimony in detail and gave me the confidence I needed to get through the appeal process. We won! Thank you so much Joshua.

I was referred to this office by a friend. I had been in contact with Joshua and then Dan. Joshua handled my case at my unemployment hearing. He had me well prepared for the questions that were going to be asked and we won the appeal. I cannot thank them enough for their help.

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.
