Matt Koes is calm, knowledgeable and patient. He explains the law in a way you can understand. He was up front about the pros and cons of our case, didn't make fluffy promises. We received a settlement for 100% of our losses- which were substantial. Very satisfied with his work. He has great people skills. There were hot tempers and unhappy people in our mess. He wasn't ruffled. Give him a call. I know we were very happy with our resolution!

I worked with Matthew after I was involved in a serious car accident where the other driver ran a red light and totaled my vehicle. During this stressful time, Matthew was professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. From the beginning he was realistic in setting my expectations and worked diligently on my behalf to settle with the insurance company. I highly recommend him.

Adam is an excellent attorney who was able to help me navigate and successfully resolve a complicated legal issue. He is very responsive, intelligent, and, importantly, creative. Adam invested significant time above and beyond what I expected, and he did not request additional funds from me. He genuinely cares about her clients.

18 Feb, 2014 by Anonymous

I came to Lake Tahoe on vacation and thanks to Adam I was able to leave on probation. This was my first offense and I honestly felt like I made a mistake and didn't want this to hurt my chances of success in the future as far as having a record or doing any serious jail time, losing my job and having to be away form my family. Adam was able to help the D.A. understand that I did make a mistake and that I felt remorse for my actions. Having Adam in my corner was the greatest sense of security throughout this experience. Adam's representation is second to none and his price's are very affordable if not better than some of the other local attorneys. Adam was very professional and made me feel like a top priority. From the beginning Adam was straight and up front with me and made sure I understood what was going on every step of the way. I would definitely recommend Adam Spicer to anyone!

16 Jan, 2014 by Reid

After considering multiple South Lake Tahoe attorneys, we chose Adam Spicer. And now that the whole legal experience is behind us, we feel we definitely made the right decision - he negotiated an extremely favorable plea bargain for us in Court. During the ordeal we heard several horror stories from defendants in similar situations about their representation; Our experience with Adam Spicer was a near fairy tale relative to those experiences. So whether you're looking for a Tahoe DUI lawyer or general criminal defense attorney, definitely get in touch with Adam. Do keep in mind that he's a one-man-shop, and some days he's in court the entire day, so don't be surprised if you have to leave him a message. But if you want personal attention from a guy who's absolutely on the ball, be sure to send him an email or give him a call.

Matt is quick to respond and give his honest opinion! I appreciate the time he took to review something for me that I was trying to do on my own. When you look at divorce, separation, and kids it is terrifying. I reached out to someone that I respected as a lawyer and would give me honest feedback to include concerns and corrections. I have known Matt since he started as an attorney and have had the opportunity to watch him become an excellent attorney for parents and children! He is very good at what he does and he knows the laws and will fight for you! He has high integrity and good character! I highly recommend him and have referred several people to him!

20 May, 2014 by Nancy

Compassionate, dedicated, and loyal describe attorney at law, Matthew Paul McChesney. He is an individual with supreme integrity. Integrity which describes the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness. Matthew exudes these characters of honesty, probity, rectitude, and honor. He exhibits great character, principle(s), ethics, righteousness, morality, virtue, decency, fairness, scrupulousness, sincerity, truthfulness, and most important trustworthiness. Qualities one desires when seeking legal advice and representation in a court of law. I was extremely fortunate to be referred to Matthew McChensney during a horrific and unfortunate situation in my life. Not only did Matthew advise, orchestrate, research and prove in court the findings in my favor, he had the skills to diffuse my emotional distress in a courteous and professional manner. This was no easy task. I was losing my life, my dream ranch, my horses, my barn, my property, my friends and a significant financial investment... All due to my stupidity of not being informed of the importance of making sure loans and deeds had my name on the papers of which I had invested. I trusted my life partner of whom I was with 25 years... only to be mistreated, lied to, and verbally and emotionally abused. Thankfully due to Matthew's extensive legal work and my exceptional record keeping, Matthew was able to prove in court equitable trust... Justice was served.. my beautiful home and ranch was rightfully returned to me. Namasta. I highly recommend Matthew Paul McChesney to represent all people of the great state of Texas.

27 Sep, 2013 by Angel

I interviewed over twenty attorneys before selecting Mr. McChesney. His vocal artillery is lethal in the courtroom. To behold my ex caught in a lie and unable to speak on the witness stand was priceless. I have never seen my ex speechless and Matt accomplished that feat like stealth tiger stalking his prey unnoticed; until the pounce and quick death bite. The classic line from Matt when my ex couldn't talk and was staring off into space was, "Your Honor, witness unresponsive"! The judge even cracked a smile and it took everything I had to keep from rolling on the floor and laughing hysterically. Matt is so unassuming and likable while questioning the opposition has no idea the brutal take down is coming. Literally, my ex was in shock and could not speak. Do not let Mr. McChesney's young age and appearance fool you, he is the most capable litigator I have ever seen! This kid is going to be a legal star. Highly recommended , ethical, incredible legal knowledge, and losing is not in his vocabulary.

Call him!! We came to Cobb Eddy with a series of legal concerns we were trying to address with our own very cursory understanding of these subject matter areas. Mr. Cobb broke down all the possible outcomes in each of our matters and offered a strategic plan for every possible scenario. He demonstrated a talent for accounting for every variable, even the ones that were easy-to-ignore or counterintuitive in nature. With everything addressed and accounted for so methodically, our legal matters ended on a very positive note. We've known Mr. Cobb for many years now and he's a true professional and that extends out to the firm as well. His experience, dedication and client focus makes the legal process as comfortable as can be. Highly recommended.

10 Jun, 2015 by Rob

When I first met Mr. Cobb, he knew very little about our industry. Now, he is widely considered to be one of the foremost experts in all aspects of our marketplace. I can proudly say that I honestly feel that Cobb Eddy Law Firm has our best interests at all times, thus putting us in position to enjoy success both now and into the future. Bottom line, he doesn't tell you what you want to hear. He tells you the truth!

I've owned my business for 25 year and have never had a more effective representation. Brady's ability to roll-up his sleeves to get the job done right and kick butt if necessary, are traits that make a difference between and "OK" lawyer and a "Great" lawyer. I can't say enough good things about my experience and I highly recommend Brady Cobb. He is also a really nice guy (another traits that is rare lawyers).

I worked with Mic (Michael) after I opened a business that competed with my former employer. I had been sewed for allegedly violating a covenant not to compete with my prior company. We knew that for various reasons the non-compete was invalid, and Mic fought hard to protect my ability to earn an income in the only business I had known for the past decade. Mic took me on as a client even though I was making almost no money, and at the time it was unclear how I could possibly afford an attorney. In the end he was successful in protecting the business I had built, and we were able to obtain a favorable outcome for myself personally.

29 Jan, 2014 by Ann

I worked with Mic after I was terminated from my employment. He was brilliant at navigating the legal system and keeping me informed. Both he and his staff made a tough situation much easier for me! I highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal counsel!

05 Jun, 2013 by Tim

I worked with Mic on a dispute with my former employer. I had heard about him through a former client of his. He was responsible, trustworthy and always came through for me. Needless to say, I received way more than I expected from him and would recommend him to anyone seeking legal advice.

I have read all the other reviews and I wish I could give 10 stars. I was with a larger law firm after a very difficult time in my life, and it was all about the money and the fact that they couldn’t make enough so they couldn’t take my case. It was like that saying when God closes a door somewhere he opens a window. It was then I found this incredible law firm and my attorney was Tiffanie Benfer. She walked me through everything. She called me. It was incredibly shocking because attorneys don’t call people. They have other people call you. The whole we will have our people call your people. I could ask a question in an email or text on the weekend and get a call back ON THE WEEKEND! Tiffanie was with her family but took the time to answer my question because I was concerned and scared. She would actually apologize if it took her a few days because she had been in court or have her staff call me to say she’s in court and then she would call me that night after a long day my Attorney would call me on her family time. She didn’t push me to accept settlements or decisions she knew were wrong just to get my case over with. The staff was incredible. It’s like dealing with people who really care about you.. Thank you.

22 Mar, 2019 by Dave

I had the great luck to have Tiffanie undertake my case. I could not have asked for a more tenacious, hard-working attorney. Tiffanie is a terrific person, had only my best interests in mind, and was always very patient in explaining everything in a clear, concise way. The amount of effort that she will spend on your behalf is amazing. Tiffanie, her fellow attorneys at Hardwick Benfer, and all of their great support staff are not only very professional in everything they do, but they are also very approachable and easy to work with. If you're looking for a fighter for your cause, you won't find anyone better than Tiffanie. Believe me, you won't regret hiring Tiffanie and her firm to represent you.

24 Sep, 2011 by Anonymous

Did her job exceptionally well, the outcome of the case was everything I wanted. She is exact and to the point. I looked else where. However, many others worried more about their pocket than my case. Tiffanie never gave that impresion. SHE DOES HER JOB, AND DOES IT WELL.Not only is Tiffanie great, but has a great law firm that is responsive and helpful every step. Weeks after my case she still advises me. She is a wonderful person.

I came to know James Moschella quite well over the past few years. Mostly due to my propensity for being a man-child who didn't know any better and found himself in quite a bit of trouble on multiple occasions. I was facing 2 felony counts and 1 misdemeanor. Even though I was a first time offender the District Attorney would not offer me a plea. Jim always stuck by my defense and not once did he encourage me to take the plea. Even if losing meant doing some time. Jim was always up front that the likely hood of a full acquittal is very rare and made sure I knew the maximum sentence. We went to trial and as hard as the DA tried to add charges and introduce different case law Jim was on point and always ready to rebut the prosecution. Jim is a fierce litigator and was well prepped with case law for everything that came our way. Jim knows the law, is familiar with case law, and knows your rights. I knew I was in trouble and needed the best. So I hired him. Jim is professional and solid. When your only option is to go the distance and have a criminal trial James Moschella is the man you want representing you. Thanks Jim for getting that monkey off my back.

30 Mar, 2015 by Joann

When my brother was falsely accused of forgery for gain, Mr. Moschella took on his case. Mr. Moschella met with my brother nights and weekends to learn every aspect of his job. Because of his attention to detail he was able to get my brother acquitted of all charges. Our family owes Mr. Moschella a debt of gratitude for all he has done.

20 Mar, 2015 by John

Jim Moschella is hands down the best attorney. I have dealt with several lawyers in the past and 98% cared less about the case and more about the fee. From the moment I walked into his office he thoroughly examined my case. His honesty and professionalism is beyond compare. He always took time to patiently explain all aspects of the case. He was also readily available whenever I had a concern or needed a questioned answered. He is not only very knowledgeable, but has a genuine interest for his clients which provided personal comfort during very stressful, emotional and difficult times. I took my case to trial & was very impressed with how Mr. Moschella handled the case; he took the time to explain everything to me from start to finish!!! Even though I was acquitted of all charges my preference of a lawyer would have not changed if the out come would have been different. Jim Moschella is by far the best lawyer I could ever have represented me. I highly recommend him and his law firm. GREATEST LAWYER I'VE COME INTO CONTACT WITH EVER!!!!!! HE IS PROFESSIONAL & EXCELLENT AT WHAT HE DOES!!!!!! THANK YOU JIM……

I was arrested for two DUI’s a short time apart. The first lawyer I hired (not Kevin) was from one of several solicitations I received in the mail a short time after my arrests. Since I knew nothing about how this all really works, I decided that they were all probably pretty much the same, so I hired the lawyer that was closest to my home. He took my $1000 deposit, and showed up for both hearings, (which really didn’t take much preliminary work on his part). I was very concerned at this early juncture so I tried to reach him at his office several times before trial on either case and he didn’t return my calls until shortly before the first trial. When he did, he said he’s been very busy with cases that are more serious and asked why I was harassing his office, even though I had only called and left polite messages, at most twice a week, without a call back. Needless to say I knew I made a big mistake hiring this guy. So I kissed the $1000 goodbye and quickly looked for another lawyer. Kevin was recommended to me by a relative who actually works for another lawyer. After talking with him on the phone for a short time, I had a good feeling about him so I decided to make an appointment and speak to him in person. I think I just gave him my name and case numbers, but before I arrived he had already familiarized himself with both cases. He explained everything to me in detail, and patiently answered all of my questions. Although I was, of course, still concerned with the possible pending consequences of the DUI’s, I left his office feeling confident that he was really going to do his best for me. I had been so worried about losing my driver’s license, jail time, criminal record, car insurance, job reputation, etc… I didn’t want to be concerned about my lawyer too. I do field service work so my driver’s license is critical to my livelihood. I came to the conclusion that I really needed to put full faith in my lawyer and let him do his job. With Kevin I felt I could do that, so I did. Over that course of both cases and many trial appearances, I became even more confident that I had chosen the right lawyer. I discovered that Kevin really knew is way around the court room. He had a familiar rapport with the court officers and officials and knew the personality of each of the judges. He seemed to be well liked by them. He knew exactly how to make the system work for us, and to use a verse from an old Kenny Rogers song, “knew when to hold em, and when to fold em”. He was very versed in court procedures and legalese. He knew which of the legal maneuvers to use and at which time. He kept me completely informed throughout each of the trials and proceedings. Although I’m no expert in evaluating the way a trial goes, I was amazed at his expertise and subtle finesse. When all was said and done, both of my cases were discharged! I knew I didn’t deserve jail time or to have my license suspended or any of the other consequences, including losing my job, that would have come with a guilty verdict, and Kevin did everything right to assure that didn’t happen. I know he knows just how very grateful I am too, from my obvious joy at the outcome.

I was a first time offender who was looking at 3 felonys on a crime i didnt commit. Kevin Birley took my case and got the charges down to probation. Without his help i would of never been able to put this mistake behind me and I am now back to working at a better job and doing better than ever. Thank u again Mr. Birley. I will be calling u soon to get my record Expunged. Keep doing what u doing!

Used Kevin for my boyfriends VOP hearing. It was a first time tech. violation for a DUI case. Not only did he get the detainer lifted and avoid further jail time, he was very upfront and honest. He did not give false hopes or make unrealistic expectations. Even for a simple VOP hearing, he put time and effort into the case and even followed up after the case to ensure he was released. He also has very reasonable prices. If you need a criminal lawyer, I would highly recommend Kevin.

Josh Beldner helped me when my FMLA rights were not respected. He was very professional and told me what to expect at each stage of the case. He obviously put a great deal of work into my case on his own and remembered everything I told him, using the information at very appropriate times. He brought dignity to the case and made sure I was treated with respect. He was very clear and direct with me, so I felt prepared for each phase of the case. I learned to trust him at a vulnerable time because of the way he conducted himself. Josh brought skills of clarity, intelligence, and professionalism to a bad experience, helping me find the positive in the situation. I have a great deal of respect for both Eric Tilton, and Josh Beldner and the Tilton, Beldner firm and highly recommended their services.

Although we are in different states and he could not represent me, he took the time to do his research and email me back his findings and possible referral. I was so impressed that he was very detailed and compassionate to my situation and tried to help me as much as he could. Very Appreciative!!!

I had the pleasure of speaking to Thomas twice now. I have been looking to partner up with a solid direct sales company and had some questions that were more legal based in nature. I heard about the law firm that Thomas works for in doing my research and figured I would reach out and see if I could get some good guidance. Both times I spoke to Thomas, I was able to get exactly what I needed answered. He is a great guy that is very informative and thorough in his guidance. He took the time to answer all my questions without me feeling rushed. It's a great feeling to have when you know you can call him and he will give you the correct information and knowledge for you to make the right decisions in your life. I would highly recommend Thomas to anyone looking for direction and guidance.

I would like to thank Mr. Ritter for his professionalism. He was very helpful and through in his research to my situation. I was quite impressed as to how much research he put into my situation. I thought since it was a free consultation that I would get a general response however I received just the opposite. His explanation of the law was crystal clear and precise. The value of the information was worthy of compensation however the information was free.

In the beginning of the year I was working for X restaurant, where i was accused of stealing a large amount of money, "grand theft on the 3rd degree", a Felony. My immigration status is not "legal" so, I hired Martha, BEST thing I've done for me. She managed for the felony charges to go away, kept it away from trials, which could've resulted in my deportation. Also, she worked with prosecutors to make my restitutions as low as possible and it all worked. I've now payed my restitutions and finished some community service days(5) and I do not have to worry about my immigration status being affected or in having a felony in my permanent records! Very Happy with Her the job done!

You can talk to ms. Kashickey for about two seconds and know that she is gifted. Certain people are taylormade for certain professions. If she is your lawyer, you are in the best of hands. You don't have to take my word for it, Google her. Ask yourself, " How much more could this person have done, to excel at her craft "? I am at the start of a civil rights case that Ms. Kasickey is counsel for. I could not ask for a better, more competent litigator... You should only be so lucky..

I was applying for a new job and the new job place did a background check and they found out that I had a warrant in Texas which I did not know anything about. I started calling lawyers in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and I got ahold of Mr. Roberts where he found out the case number and what it was all about and he suggested that I should take care of the check and pay the courts which I did and then I called the courts numerous times and they released the warrant and closed the case finally. I can't say anymore then Thank You Mr. Lantis G. Roberts!

I was accused of committing three crimes I did not commit. It was a case of mistaken identity. I was accused of a hit and run, failure to maintain control of a motor vehicle and failure to maintain financial responsibility. Mr. Roberts successfully argued and won my case without costing me a lot of money and time. I have a family member that has worked with lawyers in the past and was really impressed with Mr. Roberts' court room demeanor and litigation skills.

I was injured in Nashville at a bar on Main Street. It was the middle of the afternoon and my jaw was fractured. Without going into detail, I will be having quite a bit of dental work in my future. Sam Miller was one of the only attorney's wiling to take my case and really listen to what happened to me. He was able to negotiate a settlement even though the bar "claimed no fault." If you're looking for someone honest, fair, and knowledgeable about Tennessee Law, HIRE SAM MILLER!

My case was a sensitive one, so when seeking representation I had a difficult time finding someone who was both competent and kind. Mr. Miller far and away exceeded my expectations and his responsibilities during my time as his client. He ensure that I not only had a positive outcome, but treated me with the utmost respect and care throughout the process. His legal prowess coupled with his understanding both astonished me and made me feel extremely at ease. I would recommend him and his team to anyone needing legal counsel.

I had to get Mr. Smith as my attorney relating to a bad car accident I had. He was able to get me the maximum amount of money for myself and my son. He was always professional and prompt in his responses. He knows what he is doing so if you need a great attorney I'd call him to see if he can help you.

At 8 months pregnant the car I was driving got t-boned and totaled by a vehicle that ran a stop sign. I had a horrible time dealing with the insurance company and it's representatives especially considering my pregnancy the physical state I was in resulting from the accident. I am the sort of person that would not seek legal counsel under normal circumstances, but I am so glad I did in this case! Mr. Lynn Smith has gone above and beyond not only in seeing to my legal needs in a way that has served my best interests, but has also been considerate of my emotional needs and circumstances as well. He has been thoroughly informative every step of the way regrading the resolving of my case, and has displayed exceptional communication skills. He has a fantastic lawyerly bed-side manner, and has consistently put me at ease throughout this sometimes difficult process. Hehas not only gained my confidence in his abilities, but also has continually strengthened my own sometimes weakened self-confidence levels regarding the outcome of my case. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I haven't always been easy to get a hold of, and at times I was slow to fulfill tasks I agreed to complete in order to move the case along. Mr. Smith never failed to show me patience, compassion, and kindness. On the other hand, he was very easy to reach when I needed him, and quick to respond to my email and voice messages. Mr. Smith has EXCELLENT client care skills, and never fails to make me feel like his most important client no matter what else he has on his plate! I highly recommend his services, and will not hesitate to employ his experience and legal services in the future should the need arise. Thank you Mr. Smith!

From the moment I became a client of Nussin S. Fogel I felt as if I had a personal attorney 24/7 at my convenience. Questions, concerns and issues were always forthrightly answered and addressed with patience, sincerity and caring. In every step of the legal process regarding my case-automobile negligence-Mr. Fogel availed himself and applied his legal expertise and experience on my behalf. Further, his legal assistant, Stephanie, reflected Mr. Fogel's attributes of genuine empathy and professionalism. Fortunate are the clients, both personally and legally of Nussin S. Fogel and his law practice.

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.

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.
