I couldn’t be happier with the service and advice I received from Mr. Passeretti. Joe is very professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and acted quickly on my case. Just from speaking with him I felt confident in his abilities to solve the problems I was having with a “not so honest” contractor.
I also had some interaction with Mr. J. Nix Daniel on a different issue. Mr. Daniel was also very professional and courteous.
Everyone I interacted with at the firm was top-notch and pleasant.
I can see why so many folks at this firm have won so many awards and the firm is so highly touted.

Hays Mathis went above and beyond what I expected from an attorney. He was very personable and kept me updated on my case every step of the way. I was treated like a real person, and not just another claim. He was always available and responded promptly to my calls. Hays always took his time when answering my questions and explaining the intricacies of the case. He was never in a rush. I can’t say enough. I most definitely recommend Hays Mathis.

I had the privilege of working with Conor Trombetta during one of the most challenging periods of my life, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the outset, Conor's personable and insightful approach made a world of difference. He not only guided me with expertise but also showed a level of kindness and care that truly set him apart.
Conor was always incredibly attentive and prioritized my case with unwavering dedication. His honesty and realism were refreshing; he provided clear, straightforward advice while never shying away from the hard truths. This balanced approach helped me understand my situation fully and made the entire process more manageable.
Throughout our time working together, Conor's compassion was evident. He made a difficult experience significantly easier with his supportive demeanor and genuine concern for my well-being. If you are in need of a lawyer who combines professionalism with a personal touch, Conor Trombetta is an exceptional choice.

I am Kathy Helm, an attorney liaison who works on Surplus Funds matters nationwide.

Jennifer was an absolute pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her services to family and friends.
Before working with her, I called her and advised that I had a very complicated trust in mind and she made me feel very comfortable despite that. She was extremely patient and her attention to detail was amazing.
I appreciated that she was always very responsive and never made me feel like I was “bugging”, and instead encouraged me to ask any and all questions that came to mind.
She also definitely has the level of energy needed to help with trust planning!
I was intimated by the process originally, but she made it an easy process.
Jennifer, if you read this, THANK YOU for your great service and patience! I look forward to working with you again in the future!!

Based upon experiences with more than two dozen attorneys over the past 45 years, I would rank this law firm among the best. I hired them for a criminal defense case after being falsely accused of a felony by the police. Before hiring this firm, there were six other firms that did not want to take the case because I wanted to file a civil lawsuit against the police. This firm was recommended by a lawyer from an estate planning law firm. My attorneys, (Richelle and Daniel), got the criminal charge dropped almost immediately, then proceeded to the civil complaint against the police, which is still active. They are straight shooters -- no hype or sugar coating. They responded promptly to emails and took time to explain things. The billing statement included no padding of the bill whatsoever. I would definitely recommend this firm without hesitation.

Partrick McCabe has represented me in a 4 year law suit that has finally settled. I can say with absolute certainty that you would be hard pressed to find a better law firm. Patrick was always spot on, communication was always prompt, explanations were clear and concise.

I had the intense pleasure of co-working a major case with Patrick. His intellect, drive, and yet detail-orientation make him the most intelligent lawyer I have ever worked with, and I come from a NYC bias, the alleged heavyweight division of law.
The only drawback was that now, I am used to having Patrick on my other cases but instead, am quite alone.

Patrick McCabe was my attorney in a legal case. Thoroughout the multi-year process, he was consistently very professional, responsive, and thorough. He has strong communication skills, often providing updates and answering questions promptly, which I found reassuring. His ability to explain legal complexities in a clear, understandable manner was appreciated. His negotiation and litigation skills are impressive. In my particular case, he achieved a favorable outcome and I am pleased with how it turned out.

A five star rating and more for Fred Schwartz, is more than deserved. He handled my case in a calm, confident manner which included a compassionate concern for my well being. Fred investigated the accident in minute detail, gathered evidence and handled my claim negotiations. While it was a difficult path to physically move through this injury; I was surprised to experience an emotion healing when I received significant compensation for my pain and suffering. I am grateful, I had the BEST attorney in Fred Schwartz!

FAQs
Questions? We have answers
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.

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:

- 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.

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.
