My experience with Zackary Meyer was incredible. He made me feel comfortable in explaining my litigation matter that had been going on for over 5 years. You can’t imagine the frustration I’ve been dealing with for that long period of time. I explained my side of the story as he reviewed my case and he understood exactly what was going on and agreed to take my case. He also explained to me he didn’t offer any promises or guarantee on the outcome but he said he would do his very best. When this firm offers to do their best “look out” because that is exactly what you will get. On my trial date at court, I thought I would be nervous but I wasn’t because a very polite young man by the named Ali Jaffery partner of Zackery Meyers Firm attended. He presented the facts in a very dignified manner. The facts were proven for this trail and the lawsuit against me were dismissed at its entirety. I am so grateful for this firm. If you are ever in need for a law firm that gives a client 100%, I highly recommend Sutton Sacks and Meyers. The expertise of this firm is one that I am so grateful for and will be long lived. Again, Kudos to Zackary Meyer and Ali Jaffery.

First starter he is very easy to work with! I never worried about my case. He makes you understand every single detail. I got my greencard as short as 7 months and we didn’t even go through interview process. He is so professional and knows what he is doing. You can always reach out to him very easily. So grateful to work with him after hearing all this bad stories from other people. You won’t regret to work with him I can tell you that. Definitely highly recommended!!! Thank you for everything David!

Christy made a difficult situation much easier, helping to put me at ease with my situation with her legal knowledge and expertise. My hero, however, is her amazing paralegal Sonya Roach. Sonya was quick to answer all my questions, tell me I was not crazy and/or a dummy, and to keep my head high during this whole process because we would come out with best possible outcome. And that we did. Christy and Sonya, I am forever grateful for your expertise and your kindness.

Mike was beyond amazing to work with. He is an incredible attorney and we got a favorable outcome on my case. From our first phone call he listened to me and was very sympathetic for my situation. I had spoke with several lawyers prior and they were not as kind or compassionate as he is. This was my first time needing a lawyer. Mike helped make the entire process smooth and not intimidating. He is very good at his job and does it with ease. He is also very reasonably priced. I fully recommend Mike if you are in need of an attorney. I hope to not need a criminal defense attorney in the future but if I do, Mike will be the one I call and who I refer people to.

On a good day Guardianship can be confusing and challenging, especially for a new Guardian. You are constantly familiarizing yourself with new information pertaining to a wide array of topics that come along quickly and consistently. At times you require help and insight from those with more experience specific to the legal intricacies that you may suddenly be encountering. I am thankful that in the vast sea of attorneys to choose from, that I was referred to Alison Arden Besunder of Goetz Fitzpatrick to assist me and the Guardianship in addressing an appeal brought on unexpectedly. Appellate work appears: unique to your case, detail focused, time consuming and requires nuanced skill and approach in response and execution. Ms. Besunder and the members of her team understood the record at hand and responded professionally, with a tone that was very much welcome and tracking with my efforts and focus as Guardian. They were: kind to me, understanding of the situation, communicative, along with being clear in their directions and in the answering of my questions. Ms. Besunder's experience and knowledge along with the efforts and kindness of her team in dealing with this legal matter were welcome during this unexpected and challenging time. Ms. Besunder and Goetz Fitzpatrick have represented me as Guardian and responded to the appeal on my behalf- which I'm very thankful of their efforts. Highly recommended and much appreciated.

The dedication and commitment Mrs. Guzman and her team put into this case made me feel very comfortable and protected. From the very beginning, the firm maintained great communication and updated me on anything pertaining to my case. Mrs. Guzman and her team fought very hard throughout the entire case to make sure I am properly and well compensated by my former employer. Overall, I’m happy to say that I am very pleased with their professionalism and outcome of the settlement. I would happily recommend the firm to anyone needing an attorney for employment and labor, discrimination or wrongful termination.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Although I wasn’t a client of Bob Crawford, I had the opportunity to consult with him regarding an employment matter, and I was thoroughly impressed. Bob was incredibly responsive, transparent, and patient in answering all of my questions, even though he wasn’t formally representing me. His professionalism and willingness to provide guidance in such a compassionate way really stood out. It’s rare to find an attorney who shows such care and dedication to helping others, even outside of a formal client relationship. I highly recommend Bob Crawford for anyone seeking legal expertise in employment matters. Five stars without hesitation!

Request for Legal Advice on Workplace Injury and Discrimination Dear Brain Thomas Rochel, I am seeking advice regarding a workplace incident where I was injured on the job. My employer refused to call 911 for emergency assistance and instead insisted on driving me to seek medical attention, which I declined due to my condition and understanding of my rights. I feel this action was discriminatory and compromised my health and safety. I would like to know what steps I can take to protect my rights and seek appropriate action. Please let me know how I can proceed. Thank you for your time and guidance.

Lori is hands down the best lawyer!!! When they say taking on a certain entity is a hard fight, that didn’t stop her for taking on our case. Lori is SO passionate, caring and empathetic for her clients, which is SO rare to find!!!! Lori puts in many hours and is so dedicated to her clients. We were so blessed to be able to have her represent us when we were in our darkest, most stressful days of our lives! I looked for a lawyer who cared about women's rights and I was so thankful to have been referred to her! (Lori is also an animal rights activist-she is saving animals and also fighting for human rights!!) Lori was always quick to respond and you can tell in her heart she genuinely cares about her clients. Lori represented our daughter, who dealt with a very traumatic event of her life and ours! Sexual discrimination/harassment and assault should never go on and it is 2024 and girls are still fighting for basic human rights! Lori is a powerful, majestic force and there is no one else like her!! She will always be our hero!! We are also so thankful to Lori, for suggesting martial arts to empower our daughter, because of Lori’s idea we got inspired to set up a self defense class to help empower our daughter and other kids. If you are looking for a lawyer who is compassionate, strategic, powerful, dynamic, is a fighter and has your best interest in heart .. you would be so lucky, honored and grateful to have her on your side!!! Thank you so much Lori for being there for us, for our daughter and for making an everlasting imprint and impact on our lives, we can’t thank you enough!!! You will always be our hero!!! We love Lori!!

When I started working with Supreeta, my employer was trying to "manage me out" after an expensive surgery (they were self-insured). Unlike other attorneys I had contacted, Supreeta was willing to help me pursue my objectives, which originally was to stay employed and to obtain fair treatment. WhenI was eventually terminated, she was willing to take on what was a very messy case against a very uncooperative and dissembling legal team, and she steered me to an excellent outcome through mediation without having to file, which I think was the best solution for me personally. Supreeta believed in me even when I did not have any witnesses and she always had my best interests in mind. I would recommend her very highly to anyone dealing with workplace discrimination. It was an extremely stressful process for us and her combination of expertise and caring was critical to getting us through.

Yes, it actually feels good to have a worthy credit profile. I want to use this time to appreciate PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST for bringing me out of a bad credit report that made my life miserable. 6 years ago I had perfect credit but my life spiralled out of control and was left with 50k debt.  I had no way of paying for it at that time.  I have been rebuilding my life for the past few months and need to fix my credit. I had 50k debt combined.  6 closed accounts with "negative pay status" "Charged off as bad debt".  550 credit score. I paid 2 of the 6 accounts off recently but the remarks are still there and nothing about my status changed on said accounts. PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST came through for me, with all negative entries removed; charge offs, late payments wiped out including closed accounts all cleared from my report and my score is now 804. I got approved for a Capital one credit card with a $10,000 limit and have been pre-approved for another $30,000 limit. I’m happy now and THANKS to whoever posted about them on this forum for the first time. You can contact them via:

I interviewed 4 other attorneys before choosing Laura and I’m so glad I chose her. She was honestly invested in my case and genuinely cared about the injustice I suffered. She fought to get me justice and was not afraid to go against a large corporation. Discrimination cases can be tricky but she is the perfect person to help you navigate them. I would 100% hire her again.

I had the pleasure of working with Christine at Adams Employment Law, and I couldn’t be more impressed with her professionalism and expertise. From the initial consultation to the resolution of my case, Christine demonstrated a deep understanding of employment law and provided exceptional support throughout the process. What I appreciated most was Christine's clear communication and willingness to answer all my questions. She took the time to explain every step of the legal process in detail, ensuring I was well-informed and confident in the decisions being made. Her responsiveness was also noteworthy; she was always available to provide updates or address any concerns I had. Christine handled my case with diligence and care, achieving a favorable outcome that exceeded my expectations. Her strategic approach and thorough preparation were evident in every aspect of her work. Beyond the professional excellence, I also made a new friend during this process. Christine’s warmth and genuine concern for my situation made the experience more personal and supportive. If you’re seeking knowledgeable and dedicated legal representation in employment matters, I highly recommend Christine at Adams Employment Law. Her expertise, combined with her commitment to client satisfaction and her personal touch, sets her apart in the field. I can't thank Christine enough for her hard work and tenacity during this very stressful time in my life. She is the best!

Christine Adams supported me during a particularly tenuous time, in the aftermath of the pandemic and after a prolonged, painful and incredibly debilitating experience with discrimination and retaliation. She is brilliant, dedicated and highly skilled at what she does. Her intelligence, exactitude, thoroughness, (appropriate/advantageous) aggressiveness, and expediency are traits I sought and hoped for in a high-quality attorney. Those altogether make her an excellent lawyer. But what I did not expect to encounter in this relationship, what I truly appreciate and am most deeply impacted by - is her genuine integrity, humanity and compassion. From the beginning to the end, she listened to me, and considered me as an individual. She was attentive, receptive, caring, efficient, strategic and diligent. Particularly for my case, it was an alleviation and inspiration to have someone on my side who really saw me, and honored my convictions and motivations for pursuing my claim. Christine was always clear, direct and fair. She followed through with what she said she would, and cogently explained the steps and strategies involved throughout the process. She helped me see some truths I was not aware of, which allowed me to objectively evaluate my claim. Christine was not only committed to representing me, but I believe she is committed to something one encounters less and less of in the modern world: doing what is right, and fair. I was blown away by the claim Christine put together for me when we got to the filing stage of my lawsuit. It was a remarkable synthesis of hundreds of pages of complex information, facts and details I had given her. She consolidated it in a deft, cohesive and legally formidable way. It demonstrated a masterful understanding of the legal significance of my claim, emphasized patterns of workplace abuse, and again, honored the principles that mattered to me. My discrimination issue with my employer was the most difficult employment experience of my life. Christine was a powerful reconciling support and force that enabled me to integrate, find closure, peace, and also reparations. She was exactly who, and what, I needed to get through this with my sanity intact. In the end she facilitated much more than I had hoped for. I cannot recommend, praise or thank Christine enough for what she did for me. Please engage with her if you need someone with this rare combination of traits, values and abilities to fight for you.

I spent quite a bit of time looking for a good lawyer with his specialties and once I learned about his experience and capabilities, I knew that I would not be satisfied if any other lawyer were to take on my case. I am pleased to say that he accepted my case after our initial consultation phone call. Morris knew exactly what was needed to win my case. Shortly after we submitted a specific statement that Morris told me to get, the agency signed a settlement agreement with me, in my favor. I would also add that Morris exceeded the amount of legal work performed compared to the fees for my case. I highly recommend Morris and will be returning to him if I need legal assistance.

I am extremely grateful & appreciative for Seelig Law Offices, LLC. I am suffering severe pain & unable to return to work after experiencing a work related accident. Unsuccessful pain management treatment & multiple surgeries continued to keep me from returning. I met with several law offices to discuss my case but Richard Seelig & Philip Seelig, left me feeling I was being directed by experienced & capable hands. They discussed my options & chances of a positive outcome while guiding me with accurate knowledge & experience of obtaining Social Security Disability benefits (including loss of income). Keep in mind, this is a process dealing with government appointed doctors and could seem frustrating, overwhelming & my anxiety is through the roof at times, yet, all calls, texts & emails of concern were always responded to promptly by Richard Seelig or Philip Seelig with a phone call with honest, detailed answers. Also, Joshua Gohari was patient, proficient & beneficial regarding my medical reviews. Whenever I thought it seemed bleak, he was understanding and spoke compassionately. I always felt supported by their team, without exception, all impressions are made on the 1st call or in person meeting and being greeted by Angel is a plus for Seelig offices.

Jose Klein is a very intelligent, compassionate lawyer, and an overall really nice person! He listened to me rant and rave about the treatment I endured from my former employer, and never once made me feel silly or out of line. He was the only person who actually acknowledged that it was wrong how they treated me, and that was really huge for me in that moment. He isn’t only kind and attentive to your concerns, but he’s also a genius and can truly hear what you are saying, and articulate it back and into a way that actually makes sense.

I really cannot speak highly enough about Allison and her tremendous work! She is excellent and outstanding in every respect. When we found ourselves caught in a nightmarish situation with our son's school district, we interviewed at least 5 attorneys before ultimately choosing Allison. It was the best decision that we ever did. Allison was a fierce, passionate, and highly strategic advocate that fought for us and got our son the right services and placement that he deserved. She is not only an amazing attorney but also a former special education teacher, which made her tremendously invaluable throughout the process, because she had first hand experience of being a teacher. Moreover, Allison was always accessible and easy to reach which was very helpful during a stressful process of having our son be removed from the intensive behavioral program and into general education where he belonged. Overall Allison's knowledge of the law, passion about the subject, and dedication to her clients makes her into an amazing educational advocate. Thank you Allison for all that you have done, we will be eternally grateful!

After talking with Tim , I subsequently switched to Tim’s law group. Tim had to take on a WELL established Massachusetts law firm which could be intimidating; he was definitely up for this tough challenge. Other lawyers would not take this case after my previous lawyer’s handling and were afraid of losing this case. Tim was different, he wanted to help right a wrong as best as he could knowing what was being handed to him. It was quickly apparent that Tim took his job to heart unlike my previous lawyer. Tim put the opposition law firm on notice that he was about the business of winning my case and not losing. Tim had a tough challenge because he had to rectify the mess made by previous lawyer who had my case on track to be a loss. The best way to summarize how Tim handled my case could be explained by using terminology from the 1960s Batman TV series. In response to Tim’s introduction and demand letter to the opposition, Tim was hit with a response that was a BOOM. Tim responded and hit back with a KA-BOOM. Next time they hit Tim with a POW and Tim responded with a POW-POW; Tim did NOT back down. Tim worked hard and fought hard for my case. He kept me informed with every step of my case unlike my previous lawyer. He was honest with and didn’t sugarcoat what I needed to hear about my case. He did a hell of a good job with my case considering the mess he had to work with. I would absolutely recommend the Upper Charles Law Group as my experience was absolutely pleasurable with this law group.

What a Discrimination Lawyer Can Do for You

A discrimination lawyer specializes in handling cases where individuals or groups face unfair treatment based on protected characteristics, such as race, gender, age, religion, national origin, disability, or sexual orientation. These lawyers assist clients in filing discrimination claims, representing them in legal proceedings, and ensuring that their rights under federal, state, and local laws are upheld. Discrimination cases may arise in employment, housing, education, public accommodations, or other settings.

Whether you’ve been discriminated against at work, denied housing, or treated unfairly in other areas of life, a discrimination lawyer can help you navigate the legal process and seek compensation or corrective action.

When Should I Hire a Discrimination Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a discrimination lawyer in several situations where unfair treatment occurs based on protected characteristics. Common scenarios include:

  • Employment Discrimination:
    • Workplace discrimination: If you’ve been treated unfairly at work because of your race, gender, disability, religion, age, sexual orientation, or another protected status, a lawyer can help you file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or a similar state agency.
    • Wrongful termination: If you were fired due to discrimination or retaliation for reporting discriminatory behavior, a lawyer can assist with filing a lawsuit and seeking compensation for lost wages, emotional distress, and other damages.
    • Failure to promote: If you’ve been denied a promotion or opportunities due to discriminatory practices, a lawyer can investigate the claim and represent you in legal actions against your employer.
    • Harassment: If you’ve experienced workplace harassment, such as sexual harassment or a hostile work environment based on your race, gender, or other characteristics, a lawyer can help you pursue legal remedies.
  • Housing Discrimination:
    • Denial of housing: If you’ve been denied housing due to your race, disability, family status, or other protected factors, a lawyer can help you file a complaint with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) or sue the landlord or property manager for violating the Fair Housing Act.
    • Unfair rental practices: If a landlord or property manager treats you unfairly based on discriminatory factors (e.g., refusing reasonable accommodations for a disability), a lawyer can help you enforce your rights.
  • Education Discrimination:
    • Discrimination in schools: If you or your child has faced discrimination in an educational setting based on race, disability, gender, or religion, a lawyer can help you file complaints under laws like Title VI, Title IX, or the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
  • Public Accommodations:
    • Denial of services: If a business or public service has discriminated against you based on race, gender, disability, or other protected characteristics, a lawyer can assist you in filing a complaint or lawsuit under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or other anti-discrimination laws.

Hiring a discrimination lawyer early can help protect your rights and ensure that your claim is filed within legal deadlines.

What Does a Discrimination Lawyer Do?

A discrimination lawyer provides a range of legal services to help individuals and groups fight against discriminatory practices. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Filing discrimination claims: A lawyer can help you file a complaint with government agencies, such as the EEOC, HUD, or your state’s human rights commission. They ensure that your claim is properly documented and filed within required time limits.
  • Investigating discrimination claims: Discrimination lawyers gather evidence, interview witnesses, and review documents to build a strong case for proving discriminatory practices.
  • Negotiating settlements: In many cases, a lawyer can negotiate a settlement with the employer, landlord, or other party involved in the discrimination case, seeking compensation or corrective action without going to trial.
  • Representing clients in court: If your case goes to court, a lawyer will represent you during hearings, present evidence, and argue your case before a judge or jury.
  • Handling retaliation claims: If you face retaliation for filing a discrimination complaint or reporting discriminatory practices, a lawyer can help you pursue a retaliation claim.
  • Advising on legal rights: A discrimination lawyer explains your legal rights under federal and state anti-discrimination laws, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the ADA, the Fair Housing Act, and others.

How Are Discrimination Lawyers Paid?

Discrimination lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the expected duration of the legal process. Common payment structures include:

  • Contingency fee: Many discrimination lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case. Their fee is usually a percentage of the settlement or court award, typically ranging from 25% to 40%.
  • Hourly rate: For cases that don’t involve a contingency fee arrangement, some lawyers charge by the hour. Hourly rates for discrimination lawyers generally range from $200 to $600 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and the case’s complexity.
  • Flat fee: For simpler legal tasks, such as drafting a discrimination complaint or providing legal advice, some lawyers may charge a flat fee.
  • Pro bono or reduced fees: Some discrimination lawyers offer pro bono (free) or reduced-fee services, especially in cases involving low-income clients or significant civil rights issues.

It’s important to discuss fee arrangements during your initial consultation to ensure that you understand the total cost of legal services and how payment will be handled.

How Much Does a Discrimination Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a discrimination lawyer depends on factors like the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the potential for a settlement or trial. General cost estimates include:

  • Contingency fees: If the lawyer works on a contingency basis, their fee will typically range from 25% to 40% of any settlement or court award. For example, if you win a settlement of $50,000 and the lawyer’s fee is 30%, they would receive $15,000, and you would keep the remaining $35,000.
  • Hourly rates: Discrimination lawyers who charge by the hour typically bill between $200 and $600 per hour. For example, a case that takes 20 hours of legal work at $300 per hour would cost $6,000 in legal fees.
  • Flat fees: Some legal services, such as filing a discrimination complaint or providing a legal consultation, may be available for a flat fee ranging from $500 to $2,500, depending on the complexity of the task.
  • Pro bono or sliding scale fees: In some cases, particularly for low-income individuals, lawyers may offer reduced fees or work pro bono.

Always ask for a detailed estimate of costs during your consultation, and clarify whether the lawyer offers flexible payment options.

Top Questions to Ask a Discrimination Lawyer

Before hiring a discrimination lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the experience and qualifications to handle your case. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with discrimination cases?
    Ensure that the lawyer has handled discrimination cases similar to yours, whether it involves employment, housing, or public accommodation discrimination.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee, hourly rate, or flat fee, and ask for a detailed breakdown of costs.
  3. What are my chances of success?
    Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case, including potential challenges and the likelihood of success.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Discrimination cases can take time to resolve, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to take, from filing a complaint to reaching a settlement or going to trial.
  5. Will I need to go to court?
    Ask whether your case is likely to settle out of court or if a trial may be necessary. If a trial is possible, ask what steps the lawyer will take to prepare.
  6. What damages or remedies can I seek?
    Ask about the types of compensation or corrective action you can pursue, such as back pay, emotional distress damages, job reinstatement, or policy changes.
  7. What steps should I take to protect my rights?
    Ask for advice on how to document evidence, handle workplace or housing interactions, and avoid retaliation while your case is pending.

How to Check the Credibility of a Discrimination Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable discrimination lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:

  • Check their bar status: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and in good standing with the state bar association. You can check this on your state bar’s website.
  • Look for discrimination case experience: Review the lawyer’s website or profile to ensure they specialize in employment law, civil rights, or discrimination cases and have successfully handled similar cases in the past.
  • 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 their experience with the lawyer.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on discrimination matters.
  • Check for certifications or memberships: Look for certifications or memberships in civil rights organizations or employment law associations, such as the National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA).

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a discrimination lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Detailed account of the discrimination: Provide a clear description of the discriminatory actions, including dates, locations, and individuals involved. Document specific incidents and any witnesses who can support your claim.
  • Workplace or housing records: Bring copies of relevant employment or housing documents, such as job performance evaluations, rental agreements, emails, or written correspondence related to the discrimination.
  • Company or organization policies: If the discrimination occurred in the workplace or housing, bring copies of company policies, employee handbooks, or housing agreements that outline anti-discrimination policies.
  • Evidence of damages: Provide evidence of any financial losses, such as lost wages, job termination, or increased rent, as well as emotional or psychological distress caused by the discrimination.
  • Previous complaints or actions: If you’ve filed previous complaints or taken any action related to the discrimination, such as reporting the issue to HR or filing a complaint with a government agency, bring copies of those documents.
  • Questions about the process: Prepare a list of questions about your legal options, potential outcomes, and the lawyer’s approach to handling your case.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice for pursuing your discrimination claim.
