Baend isn’t your average attorney. He was upfront and even told me initially he may not be able to handle my case as it wasn’t his specialty, but promised to be transparent thru the process. He ended up doing an amazing job, despite my case becoming much more complicated than he originally anticipated. Baend’s hardwork and willingness to dig deep for evidence in my case, provided a more favorable outcome than I had hoped for.

I reached out to Mr. Burnett from Avvo and had a long consultation call over the phone about my landlord-tenant issue. He offered 3 violations that my landlord is subject to and an action plan while other lawyers I have contacted only provided partial information. Mr. Burnett also seemed very genuine and well connected. If my case was in his area, I would definitely have worked with Mr. Burnett. Thank you!

Antony is an amazing person who will collaborate with you to plan your will and estate. He listened carefully to our needs and concerns and answered our questions in a thoughtful considered manner. After the will and estate plan was created, he went through the document with us, answered our questions and made some edits to the final documents. Afterwards he met with our children individually and went through the documents with them and answered their questions.
I have been happy to recommend him to some of our close friends. Their experiences have been very positive and similar to ours.

How grateful I am to this man whom I only met over the phone. After explaining our needs he he went right into steering us in the right direction. Although he will not be handling our needshe gave us a direction to go in and we are so grateful and overwhelmed at his honesty, understanding and knowledge of what would be right for us I decided to tell it to the world. If you need a lawyer and guidance this is the man to go to. I tried to get him to relocate to Florida but he said it wasn’t in his immediate plans.

If you have a complex case, lost your faith in the judiciary or the system or have had past experiences of prejudice or ineffective counsel leaving you doubtful of ever finding that one attorney, who will fight for your cause, demand fairness and willing to go the distance? Your search is over. You can not find better representation. Counsel Williams, along with Tina restored our faith in the process and our entire family, will stand on these words. "You will not be disappointed" What a blessing! Thanks Again, Williams Law, P. L.

Patrick Murphy is the best. I was summoned to a Magistrate Hearing. I had no idea what to expect or even how to prepare. Upon first contact with Patrick, he was extremely helpful. He explained the whole process to me, assisted with gathering the right documents and information, and answered all of my questions. On the day of the hearing, Patrick explained how the hearing would unfold and again answered all of my questions. Patrick is very knowledgeable, patient and helpful. I highly recommend him for anyone who is in need of help with a magistrate hearing.

I can’t say enough about Nichols Law. They accepted a complex case on a contingency fee and helped me wade through the very difficult process of holding my employer accountable for discrimination. The defense was able to hire a huge firm with endless resources but they were no match for Sarah and her team who diligently fought for us and achieved our desired outcome.

I highly recommend him and will definitely come back to him again in the future if I have any legal questions.

Jonathan Vogel is an outstanding attorney who communicates well and cares about his clients. His strategy is quite versatile: he can take an aggressive or low-key approach depending on what the situation requires. He is incredibly well-versed in the law, and he will take time to thoroughly research and understand your case so he can be a fierce advocate for you. He listens to his clients and puts their priorities first.
My case was very complicated. It involved many individuals and classes at a large university, but he was quick to sort out the important details. Less than three weeks after taking my case, everything was resolved in my favor, and he didn’t even use the entire retainer! I highly recommend Jonathan Vogel for any educational issue. He will represent you well.

Jonathan worked with me while dealing with a code of conduct issue at my college. He was extremely supportive, hard-working, and thoughtful during the time we worked together to navigate the judicial process at my school. Thanks to Jonathan's efforts, the issue was resolved in my favor.
I highly recommend Jonathan to any student who needs support protecting his or her rights-- I could not have hired a better attorney.

I wrote to Lorna at the end of my 2.5-year custody battle - "Words are inadequate to express my gratefulness", and it's true. Lorna has been on my side for that long, not only as my counsel, but to me, also a friend, and a mentor.
I remember talking to a dozen attorneys who all turned down my case because of its complexity - a divorce that invovled domestic violence, dependency, immigration, and relocation - yet Lorna was the only attorney that took genuine interest in my case, and she did not even charge me for our first 2-hour consultation. She actually read through over 3000 pages of my dependency case. She always responds promptly, sometimes even after office hours, she is thorough and detailed, insightful and empathic. She remained a delightful spirit despite my ex's constant threats, harassment, and accusation directed at her.
Even though I could not continue to afford her representation toward the end of my case, and chose to represent myself in a 3-day trial, she guided me through every step to make sure I was prepared and capable. And I won, even with some extra icing on the cake I did not expect. The judge said he has not seen anyone go pro-se without an attorney and could carry out the whole trial like I did in his 14 years of experience, but I credited Lorna for her guidance. I couldn't have done it without her. She encouraged me and believed in me even when I doubted myself - unlike those lawyers on Avvo who always tell you that you are screwed if you're going to trial alone. Talking to her always made me feel better. She went above and beyond for me from beginning to end like no others, and for that I'm forever grateful for everything she has done for me.
Thank you Lorna <3.

I hired Mr Weinzierl for help with long term payment issues and child support for my son about to go to college. I am nearly 10 years post divorce with an abuser who will not stop for nothing. Rob is really calming when the ex triggers the PTSD. He knows things are upsetting but he guides with what feels like a bit of love and logic. If you have ever dealt with a truly pathological person you know how crazy they can make a legal case. There is almost nobody who understands the abuse dynamics in family law. I am proclaiming this loudly- Rob Gets It!! My case isn’t done yet but I am so happy Rob has not given up fighting for what’s right. I can’t recommend him highly enough!!

My experience working with Erisa was more than 5 stars I’d give her a 10. Throughout my house closing process Erisa was very thorough, knowledgeable and showed so much compassion and explained every detail throughout the process and our closing contract. What I appreciated the most about her service was her communication, expertise, professionalism and most importantly her empathy. It’s hard to find someone who really has the best interest for you and to trust someone the way I trusted Erisa !! I highly recommend Erisa if you are searching for an attorney ! If you need an attorney when selling or buying a house she is my. Erisa not only assisted us with buying our home , we also hired her when I sold my house as well. I highly recommend her !! Thank you Erisa for your service !

With Erisa by my side, I felt secure knowing I had a skilled attorney who truly had my best interests at heart.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support and dedication my attorney Matt and his team provided after my car accident last year. He went above and beyond, even visiting my girlfriend and me at the hospital shortly after the accident. From the very beginning, he made himself available 24/7, answering all my questions and guiding me through the process during one of the most challenging times in my life.
His team ensured that the insurance companies covered my surgery, physical therapy, and my girlfriend’s hospital bills. They even secured payment for my son’s early birth, which was caused by the accident. Knowing they handled everything so thoroughly gave me peace of mind and allowed me to focus on recovery and my family.
I will forever be grateful for their kindness, professionalism, and relentless effort to help us. If anyone is facing a similar situation, I hope this review leads them to the same amazing support I received. Thank you again for everything you’ve done for my family and me.

I cannot thank Matt and his team enough for the incredible care and support they provided after my car accident in June of last year. I was eight months pregnant at the time, pretty banged up in the hospital connected to fetal monitors. Matt went above and beyond by coming to see me in person to ensure I felt supported during such a difficult time.
Not only did he handle every detail of my case with skill and professionalism, but he also made sure my boyfriend and I were informed and at ease every step of the way.
I also want to give a special thank you to Yaniris, who worked tirelessly to ensure my medical bills were billed correctly after the hospital started wrongfully charging me. Her dedication and kindness made such a stressful situation so much more manageable.
This team truly cares about their clients, and it shows in everything they do. I am forever grateful for their help and highly recommend them to anyone in need of a compassionate and effective legal counsel.

I found Peter J. Schaffer online and decided to work with him after reading reviews. Peter J. Schaffer is the lawyer who provide the great defense strategy. Despite the fact that my case was pure fabricated it still allowed the prosecutor to press charges and repeatedly offered to admit that I am "guilty". Peter believed in me and was able to dismiss charges. Another very important quality of Peter J. Schaffer is that he is always in touch and always responds to emails or text. I highly recommend Peter J. Schaffer to everyone who needs the trustful professional lawyer that practice in criminal cases.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Brett Kaplan, an exceptional employment attorney who provided invaluable guidance during a challenging time. Attorney Kaplan assisted me in navigating the complexities of a severance agreement, demonstrating outstanding professionalism and expertise throughout the process.
From our initial consultation, he took the time to understand my unique situation and provided clear explanations of my options and potential outcomes. He was responsive and attentive, addressing my concerns and questions promptly, which made me feel supported and well-informed.

I worked with both Rob Stepans (in Jackson, WY) and Ryan Shaffer (in Missoula, MT) over the course of a year from 2014-2105. They are fantastic attorneys and they have a dedicated support staff who are top notch as well! Together, they make a great team. Rob and Ryan are smart, professional and really know their stuff. They helped me work through a very difficult and stressful time (the loss of a job) and showed (and taught me) incredible insight and patience. They were accessible every step of the way and when a more than suitable resolution was reached, I felt I could put things behind me and move on. I had never sought legal assistance prior to meeting them, so this was all very new to me. I interviewed several other attorneys in the region, and am so glad I found them, it was a perfect fit. I would recommend Meyer, Shaffer & Stepans 100%!

Rob and Ryan represented our commercial leasing company in a landlord tenant dispute. We needed a legal team willing to tackle a case many attorneys would avoid. From the start they were diligent, hard working and compassionate. They listened to our case and offered honest expectations. Their level of professionalism throughout the process was noted by many involved. It also gave us confidence and I feel an advantage over the opposing counsel. Their communication was excellent. They returned phone calls, answered any questions and explained issues in understandable terms. Our case was very complicated and required a high level of knowledge of numerous fields. Ultimately, we were successful in reaching a settlement just days before trial. Rob and Ryan were fully prepared for trial and the defendants conceded. We received a settlement that exceeded our expectations. I continue to use and rely on Rob and Ryan for numerous legals matters and advice. I have referred them to friends and associates with full confidence.

After working with Rob and my local union representive I able to get my job back. He returned all my calls, his legal secretary was very helpful in getting messages through to Rob and getting legal documents mailed, and faxed back and forth from another state.
Thanks Rob, your a life saver!

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.
