I am honored to be able to provide a review of Attorney Mark Anderson. I work for the WA State Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Mark was our assigned counsel. The issue fell square within employment law, and I found Mark to be incredibly knowledgeable, flexible and adaptable, and he also behaved with high integrity and professionalism. I have 35 years working in government HR, and Mark was the best attorney I've worked with: assertive, yet reasonable.

Mark is just an amazing advocate and diligent attorney. My case was an employment labor dispute. Mark carefully separated the facts from story and developed the tightest argument. Marks ability to view all angles of opposing arguments provided an articulate case that we won. Also I greatly appreciated his coaching on how to stay focused when answering questions during cross examination. I was able to remain calm and strong. Thank you Mark for all your support!

Mark was great as my attorney. Prompt, together, knowledgeable and most importantly empathetic. The Courtroom can be very foreboding environment to to find yourself in and Mark made it a point to ease my apprehensions. My case was simple, just a "disorderly conduct" charge, but to me it was a complex mess to mire through and Mark made it smooth sailing. Would I retain again? Without question.

After my accident I was totally disoriented and I had a million people offering me advice. Finally a family recommended Steven and everything was smooth as glass after. I felt confident about all the decisions and I as a person was his first priority.

Steven Rudin in a knowledgeable and diligent attorney. I was the victim of an automobile accident in Tacoma, Washington. Mr Rudin became my attorney in S. Fl and he was able to secure co-counsel for us in Tacoma., Washington. There were 4 passengers, which included myself, in the vehicle. We experienced varying degrees of injury rangin from broken ankle to a broken wrist.
Mr Rudin, with the co-counsel in Washington State, was able to win us almost a total of $1million dollars from the different entities responsible for the injury.
He is hard working and he puts the client first. He is a phenomenal person injury attorney.

Having previously received bad advice from a different attorney, I was in a nightmare situation trying to sort out a legal situation. I was spending a lot of time and effort sorting out a legal situation in which I was ultimately faced with a crappy settlement offer on top of which I would need to tie up some loose ends myself that I wouldn't have known how to do. I reached out to Greg and after meeting with him only one time, he promptly secured an even better settlement and took care of those loose ends for me. I wish I had gone to Greg sooner - I'm sure my settlement would have been even better if I had been with him from the beginning than securing him last minute. If I ever need another attorney in the field of employment law, he will be my first choice.

I was looking for an Attorney to assist me with some civil matters and went in to consult with Attorney Greg Sconzo. He was upfront, Personable, knowledgeable and Very attentive. He exudes confidence and integrity. I hired Greg and He help me to navigate a grievous legal matter and hopefully find a resolution. He did so and swiftly to our joy. And that has been a blessing to me and my family. I was redeemed and blessed. I am forever grateful and will recommend Greg to anyone in need of a diligent and trustworthy Attorney. I was soooo blessed to find and have Mr. Sconzo take an active and immediate interest in my issues. Thank You Attorney Greg Sconzo. I and my family are eternally grateful that God led you unto Us.
Thank You for your Excellent advice and assistance Greg! Redemption from injustice is sweet!

Greg Sconzo helped my family with two civil litigation cases. We were frightened and uncertain of the outcome when we reached out to him. Greg got back to me quickly each time I had questions. He is knowledgeable, efficient, and fast thinking. Greg is also a family man, which showed in the kind and compassionate way he dealt with our cases. He was upfront and honest about all possible outcomes, which really helped us make informed decisions. I am thrilled with the conclusion of both cases, and feel confident moving forward knowing I have such an amazing attorney.

Barbara is an excellent lawyer! She is very professional, kind, helpful, intelligent, organized, thoughtful, personable etc etc. She knows the law well and is able to recite, explain, and apply the law in a variety of circumstances. Barbara is dynamic and able to adjust her style and role as needed. She listens well, focusing on the case at hand, and works very well under pressure - her work is quite literally amazing! 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!!

James Rudser is among the finest criminal advocates in Massachusetts. His knowledge of the law, familiarity with the courts, ability to think on his feet and his excellent communication skills all add up to creating the very best outlook for his clients.

Mr. Albukerk is an incredible lawyer who persisted through my son's difficult murder case. He worked hard and took all the detail evidence into consideration. There are only good things to say about Mr. Albukerk, my son is free because of him and I'm eternally grateful for him!

Albukerk more than anything listens! He is the only lawyer to win a case of Medicaid or Medicare fraud in the Chicago area and also to win the release of a man falsely accused as a sexually violent person who had been jailed for 30 years. He gets in there right away and preserves evidence of your innocence. If you are guilty he has the experience and knows the prosecutors and judges and how to get you the lowest possible sentence on a plea bargain. The only negative is that he tends to be blunt about worse case scenarios - but I believe that is only a matter of informing you honestly of the fact that the courts do not necessarily follow the law and juries and judges do not necessarily go by the evidence. There is far too much politics and prejudice in the courts and in juries. He is about as good as you will get and his prices are moderate. My family has used him for a collections case, for criminal defense, and I have watched him help friends with divorce cases and police excessive force cases.

The legal system is a daunting and truly scary realm for most, but for those of us that live a law abiding life - ignorance can be detrimental when you find yourself a victim of false allegations. John is more than a lawyer, he is a counselor of the law, who focuses on the individual client and expects that you (the expert in your own life) take charge of your case with his guidance and thus fight alongside him and not just hide behind him. From the initial meeting, John showed me professionalism, respect and ethical behavior. These standards were prevalent throughout the handling of my case.
Dedication is a very powerful word, but cannot truly describe John's targeted focus and tenacity. While I had never dealt with a lawyer before, I did call many who instead of offering their support via guidance of the law, belittled and terrified me. John was real, and from the beginning set high, but tangible expectations of what it takes to win or prove a case. He dedicated his life to me during the every step of the preparation of my case. He spent over 10 hours of his day with me prior to trial and was prepared for whatever came our way.
I would highly recommend John to anyone seeking help in the most important decisions of your life. Do not place your trust or invest your money on just anyone, call him and get his guidance, you'll know right away that you can feel confident with him as an experienced attorney. His trial assistant Megan is a superb asset to his firm and like John fully involves herself in every case, at least this was true of mine. John is a high caliber attorney with true emotions and treats you like a real human...did I mention he won my case!

I met with several attorneys prior to selecting John Pineau. John was by far the most understanding, straight forward and non-judgmental of them all. My case was very uncommon and a difficult one to take on. John was with me every step of the process and we worked for over three years on my case! The way John prepares for each hearing is absolutely incredible, he leaves no angle unthought-of. I felt confident at every hearing knowing that we were always 10 steps ahead of the prosecutor. He is the most determined, intelligent, hardworking and logical person I have ever met. He WILL do everything he can to help you.
I understand the nightmare you are more than likely facing right now. I want you to know you don’t have to take this all on alone. John will help give you the confidence and determination to stand up and fight for what is right. I can honestly say that John and his team genuinely cared about me, gave me hope when I thought all hope was lost and in the end, we achieved our goal of saving my life.
What else can you ask for? Don’t waste your time and money on anyone else!
My heart goes out to all who have been wrongfully accused and have become victims of our judicial system. Please, allow John to help you fight back!

John Pineau is one of the best advocates for a client I have experienced in my legal career. There is no case too simple or none too complex for his representation. John does his homework and approaches every stage of the proceedings prepared and ready to do battle for his client.
His experience ranges from first degree murder cases to sex assault cases. He is one of the best I have seen when it comes to defending persons accused of any type sex offense. He is non-judgemental and will work every case with the effective representation every person accused deserves. When you choose John Pineau you have an advocate who gets to know you, cares about you and will go to bat for you. I have worked with some of the best and John Pineau ranks up there with all of them.
With John K. Pineau you get your moneys worth and then some!!

I called Saeed and explained my traffic ticket; unlike the other lawyers who wanted me to hire them immediately and pay them up front. Saeed advised me that my traffic ticket was a simple expiry of tag and that i should be able to pay the fine without paying thousands to any lawyer. He was more of a physician watching out for the best interest of his client instead of a businessman looking out for the best for himself. I can not thank him enough for giving the best advice in a simple and understandable language. I highly recommend Saeed for his principles and practise of law.

Saeed is a fantastic attorney and just a genuinely caring guy. His office is in a very nice area, and conveniently located. He spent more time with me than I've ever experienced from an attorney, and he was quick to find answers to all my questions. He handled my case extremely efficiently, and even made me laugh a couple times.
I'd recommend Mr. Mahallati to anyone. I actually picked up a stack of his cards because lawyers like him will actually give lawyers a good name.
Also, he speaks various languages. If you're in the market for a Persian / Iranian speaking attorney, then he's your guy.

Kate Stimson keeps government in their box. What I did was wrong and that seems to give some parts of government the belief that I have no rights.

Kate was there with me every step of the way, including going to court with me one week after giving birth.
Kate was always professional, always prepared and always available to talk to. She represented me very forcefully with real skill and persistence. She was reassuring throughout and instilled a sense of confidence in me that I was in excellent hands, and the end result confirmed that confidence.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Kate without reservation.

My experience with Steinberg & Spencer is at the A + level.
I would like to thank Mr. D. Schultz VERY much for his kind help when I had a few important questions regarding my small claims case. It was a very difficult situation, as I could not retain an attorney, as the amount involved was too small. Mr. Schultz was very understanding and answered the questions I had in regard to technicalities. I won the case ! I had won already, but the defendant appealed and retained an attorney. It was a very tough fight. I am VERY grateful for the help from Mr. Schultz, who listened very patiently to my questions. Mr. Schultz is very experienced, very hard-working, very diligent, and very honest. He is also very detail-oriented and very attentive. Equally important, he is very compassionate. To find all of these qualities in an attorney is not something one should take for granted.
Steinberg & Spencer is a law firm I trust and respect VERY much.

The landlords of the home I had rented for 4 years put the house on the market while I was still living there. I endured 2 invasive open houses where I was asked to vacate the premised as well as required to make the home presentable. When the home entered escrow, construction to shore up the foundation ensued. The foundation work required a crew of 4 to crawl under the one story cabin to dig out dirt.
They started at 7:00 in the morning. I caught one of the laborer looking up from a hole in the floor in my bathroom, feces were left in my backyard as well as a pervasive urine smell. This went on for 3 weeks. The landlord did not reduce my rent or compensate me for this disturbance or my time. Nor did they intend to pay relocation costs when the house was sold and I was evicted. Mr. Fraser was able to secure $5,000 relocation fees and free rent for my last harrowing month in the home as well as full refund of my rent deposit and a little extra for my pain and suffering. This allowed me the means to relocate without further stress.

Daniel Lauber assisted two of my company's with zoning issues pertaining to 3 different CBRF's or group homes for the elderly / disabled. He attended council meetings, talked with city attorneys, met with city planners as well as the mayors. He also, assisted us with meetings with the neighbors. He is respected by the city attorneys and they listen to him closely. His credentials seem to put fear into city planners / attorneys, and he does get results. I would recommend him for any legal needs for I know he always does his research and is always well prepared for meetings / court. He will never let you down.

If you've ever tried to zone a halfway house (for any special population), you know that an act of Congress won't get it done. It takes an act of God. Mr. Lauber was invaluable to my zoning efforts to obtain a special use permit to operate a community corrections facility for convicted felons in Colorado. Since he remained in Chicago and all the communication was done via phone and email, the details of communication became even more important. I had a failed attempt (at another location) approximately 2 years earlier and was nervous that all my work on this project would end the same way. I contacted Mr. Lauber after reading about his expertise with halfway houses. He partnered with me in the exact manner that I needed. Based on feedback I received from my previous attempt, I knew that I had to actually do the zoning hearing presentation, not an attorney (I really think this varies based on local politics). Mr. Lauber worked with me to gather all the necessary research, conduct a neighborhood informational meeting, and plan and develop my presentation to the zoning board. Perhaps most importantly, he was an excellent cheerleader. When the going got tough, he was upbeat (but realistic) and eager to support my efforts and challenge me to get the next step done rather than get lost in anxiety. His knowledge of zoning law in general and his willingness to get up to speed on my local zoning laws was exceptional. He communicated directly with the planning dept when I ask him to and gave me advice on how to handle it when I wanted to deal with it personally. In other words, he let me drive the train. He was there to offer support and expertise as I needed. Thankfully, I listened to him. The process of informing everyone under the sun prior to the hearing was important. The zoning hearing was ugly but our presentation was impressive and really did not give the zoning board any option other than to vote in the affirmative. The zoning hearing lasted from 5 pm until 10:30 pm. The first person I called after the hearing was my wife. The second person was Daniel Lauber. With the combination of experience, knowledge and trustworthiness, you would be making a mistake to go with someone else.

I contacted Lorenz for some business law help. Specifically, I had some questions about a contract and NDA that were being drawn up, and I wanted some answers from a local attorney. It was important for me to understand the language of the contract, and there were a few things that weren't quite making sense. Lorenz provided quick responses, and a no-nonsense translation and explanation of the legal language that I was stuck on, as well as great advice on how to move forward. Not only would I contact Lorenz again for legal help, I would also recommend him to anyone in Show Low, Lakeside, or the surrounding areas. He's a local legal expert who's easy to work with.

I recently faced a daunting array of charges, including Assault & Battery on a Family/Household Member, Assault & Battery with a Dangerous Weapon, Carrying a Firearm Without a License, and Improper Storage of a Firearm. With mandatory minimum incarceration looming, my freedom hung in the balance.
Attorney Estes proved to be an invaluable ally during this challenging time. Through his skillful negotiation with the prosecutor, he orchestrated a plea arrangement that resulted in the dismissal of a majority of the charges. Remarkably, he secured a Continuance Without a Finding (CWOF) for the most serious offense, effectively avoiding the mandatory jail time that seemed inevitable.
The resulting disposition was probation for one year, a far cry from the harsher alternatives I was initially facing. I cannot overemphasize the significance of having Attorney Estes as your defense lawyer when your freedom is on the line. His expertise, strategic approach, and unwavering dedication make him the advocate you want in your corner.

Steven worked with me diligently during a horrible divorce and custody battle. Not only did he work closely with my other attorney, but he also showed something very few attorney's do, compassion. He was so dedicated to making sure my family and the best outcome was what we got. He was able to truly, with my other attorney, my voice to be heard in court and went above and beyond to communicate and meet with me, even if it was out of the way for him. I have never had such a pleasant experience with Attorney Ballard in my corner with my other counsel and it was great to see someone truly care about justice and what it right vs wrong. I cannot thank him enough for his efforts and highly recommend him to anyone who needs someone that will fight for you and what matters most. He also has a great blog that is worth reading that gives you a great insight to just what kind of attorney he is and that is also what put my mind at ease when going in to trial during my divorce.

My life would be drastically different had I not employed the compassionate, understanding, effective, pragmatic, good humored, wise and tough advocacy services of Steven Ballard. Against the odds of a slowly changing court system that has traditionally favored only mothers as able and willing caregivers Steven blazed a trail that will afford my children the good fortune of being with their father a fair equitable and exact 50% of their lives. From hopeless despair through humble and triumphant success Steven was there every step of the way providing whatever I needed legally and emotionally while staying true and focused on the big picture with integrity.

Attorney Ballard is sensitive, caring, intelligent, talented, congenial and so much more. He stood for me with dignity in difficult circumstances and challenged injustice. Regardless of the adversity he remained true. I have recently been reviewing his work and found that it was far more impressive than it seemed at the time. He subtlety wove into his work a richness that is uncommon. Having him on your side is to have integrity in your corner.

Mr. Herrin was able to collect 60 cents on the dollar for a portfolio of accounts that two other law firms and three collection agencies had deemed uncollectable. His approach is unique and innovative. We will not hesitate to refer our commercial portfolios to him for collection and neither should you. His percentages were reasonable and we were very pleased with the arrangement and the results.

Unfortunately, I found myself Indicted and charged with three federal felonies including bank fraud and money laundering. From the moment of my arrest over two years ago to the moment of my acquittal, Mr. Scott J. Frankel was clearly a gift from God. With patience, professional grace and decorum, sincere kindness and decency, Mr. Frankel shepherded me through the valley of death. His brilliant lawyering coupled with a keen perspicacity for the truth, was delivered to a jury in a fashion necessary to give me my life back. As I took my 83 year old Mother grocery shopping today, I wept and thanked God for Mr. Scott J. Frankel.
I will be indebted to Scott for the remainder of my life and my family is so grateful words cannot express. He is truly a courtroom genius.

Mr. Frankel was a great lawyer and was on top of my case the 10 months that it lasted. I did not have to worry about anything, other than showing up to court. In court Mr. Frankel had done his research and was not soft spoken. Won my case and everything went well. My recommend is getting all of your main witnesses subpoenaed.

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.
