When I came to Elise, I was in a really stressful situation but also highly skeptical about my prospects. Elise was very professional, honest, and empathic from the start. The initial consultation was very informative and helped me to better understand both my situation as well as my options. As my situation continued to worsen, I decided to hire Elise. Hiring a lawyer is not an easy decision to make and can be quite a serious undertaking. Elise respected the weight of that decision and my situation. She did not pressure or rush me. She was straightforward with what I could potentially expect as far as consequences or repercussions and was careful not to inflate or exaggerate the potential positive outcomes. She helped me navigate a difficult situation with my employer and provided specific action steps. Throughout the process, she was responsive to my questions, requests, and was even sensitive to my reservations. While it was unfortunate that I had to hire legal representation, Elise provided the defense I needed against my employer who brought along their legal firm. Elise was instrumental in ensuring that I was able to reach a solution with my employer and for that I am eternally grateful.

Elise and her team are knowledgeable, compassionate, patient, and extremely thorough. From the moment I began my initial consultation with Elise I knew she would be the perfect fit for me. After Elise reviewed my case she gave me detailed options on how we could proceed and then let me decide what direction we would go in. Her follow through was impressive and clear. There are not enough good things I could say about her and her team.

I was always treated with respect and warm consideration, which was much appreciated. This was a troubling situation for me, and I am glad I had Kareem Aref on my side. We were ableto get reduced penalties across the board and I am very satisfied with how my case was managed. Thank you, Kareem!

Kareem helped me get out of a very meticulous case, one that involved a serious yet completely false allegation with no evidence. Since I had a lot on the line, and needed someone with a lot of experience like Kareem to make this go away, I hired Kareem on the spot after speaking with Tsion. I needed this to go away with no damages whatsoever to begin with. Kareem not only successfully got the case rejected, there was no consequences on my end or any record whatsoever. He is extremely professional and competent lawyer I would recommend for individuals who are looking for the safest route with a future on the line.

I highly recommend you contact Ellis & Ellis prior to dealing with any insurance company. Insurance companies only serve to try to place blame on you so that they may deny coverage on your claim. Even if you are not at fault, these companies prey on consumers and will use your words against you. Ellis & Ellis will make sure your claim is handled the proper way so that you are given a fair chance for a just settlement.

When I was in a car accident last year, my sister referred me to Ellis & Ellis. They have been a great help to me and my family. They did all the work and were able to get me more than the car insurance was able to provide. They settled everything on their own and kept us updated throughout the process. Whenever I had questions, they were quick to reply and were very sincere from the beginning to end. The Ellis & Ellis team is so wonderful to have. I would highly recommend them.

Attorney Matt Kaestner just beat my murder case in Long Beach. I was definitely in the wrong place at the wrong time. Thanks to attorney Kaestner I’m back home with my family. At first my family hired another lawyer who was either unable or unwilling to spend the time to prove my innocence. Luckily Attorney Kaestner became my lawyer and did the work to show I was innocent and get me out of Jail. Along the way he regularly visited me at Wayside jail, kept me and my family informed of his progress on the case, and got my input. I will forever be grateful for his hard work and expertise. Thank you so much Matt Kaestner for working so hard for my Freedom God Bless you always!!!

I’d like to give my thanks and deepest gratitude to the best criminal defense specialist, Mr. Matthew Kaestner. My husband was facing 15 years for a robbery he didn’t commit. The first attorney I hired had the case for 3 months, and wanted my husband to take a 7 year “deal.” I wanted a second opinion and found attorney Matthew Kaestner. Attorney Kaestner gave me hope that some hard work could prove my husband’s innocence. After I hired attorney Kaestner, he immediately began work on the case, even when he had to work late into the evening. Mr. Kaestner made my husband and I feel like the case was his priority and gave it his full attention. He thoroughly investigated the case and discovered enough evidence to prove that the alleged “victim” had lied to police. Only 27 days after Mr. Kaestner received my husband’s case, he got it completely dismissed. My family was saved. My husband came home to me and our four children allowing us all to resume our normal life. I highly recommend Mr. Kaestner to anyone seeking a criminal defense attorney.

If you are ever in a tough bind, I would highly suggest Ashley Daniel as your Criminal Defense Attorney. With his previous experience working on the other side of the opposition as a District Attorney, he is able to view things holistically as other attorneys would lack experience in. In return, this would benefit the entire situation, whether or not the allegations are true. Ashley makes every effort to go above and beyond for you. He tries to help people genuinely by earning an honest living. His prices are reasonable to his scope of practice. His dedication is over the top with his clients and it shows in his tenacious approach. With that said, it is always best to consider an attorney who will listen to you as a friend and will provide you with the help you are in. Give him a call and I am sure it would not be regrettable.

This review is long overdue, but not because I forgot—far from it. It’s because I needed time to truly reflect on what Zack Domb and Devin Rauchwerger did for me, how they changed my life, and how deeply grateful I am for everything they fought for on my behalf. When I first walked into their office, I was lost. I had no knowledge of the law, no experience dealing with attorneys, and no idea where to begin. My case was complicated, messy, and overwhelming. I felt like I was drowning in uncertainty, unsure of who to trust, unsure if there was even a way forward. And then I met Zack and Devin. From the very first conversation, everything changed. They didn’t just take on my case—they took me in. They listened. They cared. They reassured me in a way that felt genuine, personal, and powerful. They didn’t see a problem; they saw a person. They didn’t just talk about my case—they talked about me, my future, my family, my fears, my hopes. They knew that I wasn’t just looking for legal help—I was looking for someone to fight for me. And fight they did. These men didn’t just represent me—they empowered me. They made it impossible to feel lost in the process because they explained every step, every option, and every possible outcome with patience and clarity. They treated me as if I had gone to law school myself, ensuring I never felt like an outsider in my own fight. My confidence grew stronger every day because I knew—without a doubt—that I had the best of the best standing behind me. But what truly sets Domb & Rauchwerger apart isn’t just their brilliance in the courtroom. It’s their heart. I come from a family-oriented background, and to me, family means everything. And that’s exactly what these two men made me feel like—family. From the way they spoke to me, to the way they fought for me, to the way they checked in on me even after my case was over—I wasn’t just another client. I was their brother, their cousin, their nephew. I wasn’t a case number—I was someone who mattered. And even now, if Zack or Devin were to call me, I would pick up without hesitation, because they are more than attorneys to me. They are family. As for their legal expertise? Unmatched. Unrivaled. Unstoppable. They masterfully dissect every case, anticipate every move, and fight with a level of skill and determination that few attorneys ever achieve. They are relentless in their pursuit of justice, refusing to back down until they’ve done everything in their power to protect and defend their clients. If I had to do this all over again, if I had to go through this battle a hundred times over—I would choose Zack and Devin every single time. No hesitation. No doubt. Because there is no one else I would trust more with my future. Because of them, my life has changed for the better, I have hope again, I have a future to look forward to. They didn’t just fight for me—they fought for the man they saw in me, for the future they believed I deserved, for the second chance they knew I was worthy of. And when the case was over, when their job was technically done, they still checked in on me. That’s the kind of attorneys they are. That’s the kind of men they are. There isn’t a rating high enough to express how much I support them. There aren’t enough stars to measure how much I appreciate them. If you need attorneys who will fight like warriors, stand by you like brothers, and protect you like family—Domb & Rauchwerger are the only choice. Zack, Devin—if you’re reading this, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You changed my life, and my son’s life, for the better. I owe you both more than I can ever express in words. If you’re looking for the best attorneys on the planet, don’t waste another second searching. Call Domb & Rauchwerger. Case closed. -Austin Griffin

I cannot recommend David German and the team at Vanaman German LLP highly enough. David and his staff were incredibly responsive and effective, even under a tight timeline. Despite my daily requests for updates and clarifications, they were always patient, kind, and supportive. Their calm professionalism was a much-needed anchor during such a stressful time. David's dedication to my daughter and his exceptional legal expertise exceeded all expectations.

David German is an exceptional educational attorney. He assisted us in securing an IEP for our child after a year of residential treatment, as well as obtaining pre-IEP reimbursement and post-IEP benefits which were significant. When facing the financial strain of teen mental health and ability to access their education, David's expertise in assisting with obtaining an IEP and recouping Pre & Post IEP expenses has been invaluable. Thanks to his assistance, we can continue supporting our child effectively. For anyone seeking an exceptional and effective educational attorney, David German is the go-to choice.

The communication was on point, from Emma at the front desk to Payam Soliemanzadeh who was the attorney helping me. Through the whole process I felt I was in good hands and I truly recommend CPIA.

I had been renting a condo for a few years in San Francisco. When my landlord decided to sell, I was interested in buying the unit, and we reached out to Greg to help facilitate the for sale by owner sale. Greg was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful! He was very clear and responsive in his communication and was able to answer any questions from either I or the seller. He set up a timeline at the very beginning of the process that both the seller and I were able to follow and focus on the next items relevant for each of us. Everything moved along so smoothly we even closed a bit early. I would definitely reach out to Greg again for any future needs and recommend him to anyone I know in need of a real estate attorney!

Very pleased with Greg's service. Wife and I received an offer for a private sale of our home. We wanted the deal but didn't know how to get it done. We were stressed. Then we found Greg and our stress ended. From acceptance of offer through close of escrow, Greg took care of everything. He dealt with the buyer, he dealt with escrow, and he advised us on what we needed to do and sign. We required a fast closing, and Greg made it happen by keeping in constant contact with buyer and escrow, skillfully nudging them to keep on schedule. Greg was at all times responsive to my calls or emails, usually immediately. I'm a detail-oriented guy, and Greg was always accommodating of my "need to know." It was a pleasure working with Greg -- he is smart, efficient, and friendly.

Greg's clear instructions and ability to reply quickly to our questions made this unusual (for-sale-by-owner, no real estate agents) sale process very simple for us. He served as a resource for both Buyer and Seller in our case because we both felt comfortable with sharing. Greg asked all the right questions at the intake interview, and followed up with initial documentation even before his first downpayment invoice. This timing gave both Buyer and Seller a confidence that he had our interests at the forefront. I also like how he provides a free consultation and is clear about his fees if the clients decide to hire him. There are no superlatives high enough to represent my recommending Greg to assist with your FSBO. Simply put: Greg is the Best!

I had the pleasure of working with Jannel on my U Visa case, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. All her team was very helpful, but I would like to make a special mention to Rosa. She was always available to answer my questions and provided timely updates on the progress of the case. I was very happy when she called me to tell me my work permit was approved after only one year, given the case that most work permits for U visas can take up to 5 years. I highly recommend The Law Office of Janell Freman to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate immigration lawyer. Thank you, Jannel and Rosa , for your dedication and expertise!

When I explained my situation to Mr Seyfi he asked me what I did? I told him I was a recording artist. He asked if I had any music available? After he heard a few tracks on Apple Music he told me to get out there and continue to make good music. And not to worry about this case because he was going to make it go away! And he did exactly as he said! After that initial meeting in his board room I never heard from the courts, police or anyone ever again. There are no words? This guy has strong medicine.

I suffered a dog bite that could have ended much worse than it did and left me with a scar. I had no insurance at the time and ended up with costly ER bills. I contacted John as I had no idea how to handle this complicated situation on my own. From day one, John was empathetic and reassuring that he'd do his best to help find a proper resolution. From my experience, I can tell he genuinely cares about the well-being of his clients. He was always ready to answer calls and kept me up to date during very complicated times. We recently wrapped up the situation and he was able to reach a resolution that we were both comfortable with. I really can't recommend John enough. If you ever find yourself in such an unfavorable situation as I did, reach out to John.

My wife suffered a traumatic incident in which a neighbor's pit bull dog killed our dog while she was on a walk and pushing our 1 year old in a stroller. We later came to learn that the pit bull dog had attacked another family that same day causing serious injuries. It was truly a horrific time for us not knowing if or how we could ever recover from this event. With John's help, we were able to pursue and ultimately reach a settlement with the homeowner's insurance company for our loss and suffering. John also helped me get the word out to the community, joining me at a neighborhood meeting that was organized to address concerns with dog attacks in the area. John is a true professional. He knows the law and he understands the process by which matters such as ours are resolved. This was tremendously valuable to us. John is honest, diligent, and forthcoming with his opinions yet maintains a steady and remarkable composure when dealing with a case. I am truly grateful that we found John to help us out.

l had to ask a lawyer’s opinion in an emergency situation. I have called and left a message for 5 lawyers l found on the internet. The only person who called back was Bart Kaspero, - he talked to me twice on that first day and gave me advice immediately what l could do at that moment. In a couple of days he got back to me again and asked about the developments in my issue; and then gave me advice again. Mr Kaspero was very attentive and patient. Finally, we talked again couple of days later and Mr Kaspero gave me advice not to spend money on lawyers at this point n time. I was so very grateful to him and after all his work in the last week he actually did not ask for any payments. Mr Kaspero gave me back my faith in people in other professions, and that there are still quality people out there, even when life seems to be very unfair and upsetting. Thank you so very much! Wish people would behave like Bart Kaspero in every profession and the world would be a better place!

John is an outstanding personal injury attorney with a big heart! I had two car accidents with life-changing injuries involving negligent drivers and felt very lost at the time. I was overwhelmed with medical bills while struggling to get my life back on track. I reached out to John and he agreed to represent me in a heartbeat! He was strategic and attained an excellent outcome that exceeded my expectations. What impressed me the most was John’s determination to achieve the best possible result! He fought hard for my rights and was responsive to my needs, providing not only legal advice but also emotional support during the difficult time. He had the magic touch and superpower to make an initially daunting experience remarkably approachable. From the first phone call I had with John, I felt HEARD! His professionalism and empathy made such a huge difference! He guided me through the entire process, easing my worries and giving clear explanations regarding the legal and insurance procedures. John was also proactive, sharp, and realistic about the strategies for my cases as they developed. He gave me honest counsel that showed the highest standards of ethics and professional integrity. He genuinely cared about my cases and my well-being. I truly felt my best interests were taken into consideration. John was kind and friendly and had a positive attitude. He addressed all of my concerns and made sure that I felt comfortable with every decision and option. He also took his time to explain complex legal concepts and treated even my silliest questions with great patience. He kept constant communication, ensuring I was informed every step of the way. I was fortunate to have an attorney like John who is skilled and reassuring during times of high stress, especially after the car accidents leaving me with serious long-term injuries when I was not at fault. He went above and beyond to advocate for me and helped me through some of the most challenging moments of my life. My only focus was on getting well and receiving the medical treatment I needed. He gave me peace of mind and took care of everything else. Now that John has successfully resolved my cases, I am able to move on with my life and focus on my physical recovery with ease! I am forever grateful for John’s help and highly recommend him to anyone seeking effective, trustworthy, and compassionate representation. You will be in excellent hands. A heartfelt THANK YOU to John!

Jonah was very communicative from the start, and was able to get me added to SF calendar quickly, so I flew in/out for court in the same day. He answered all questions I had, and was always very good about responding. To top it all off - his price was excellent.

I had a difficult employment case that was turned down by others because they thought there wasn't enough money in it to be worth it to them. Barbara understood the case and took it for the merits and with the idea of righting a wrong for me. There wasn't a big financial payout in the end but I was given the closure that I needed and after apologizing to her, she assured me that was her end goal for the entire case. It was nice to see a personal and human touch applied to an industry where it can seem so cut throat and greedy.

When I first began working with the Law Office of Priscilla Solario, I had an initial consultation with Attorney Priscilla herself. She was incredibly kind, understanding, and supportive, just like the rest of her team. Her secretary, Christina, was also very organized and helpful, promptly addressing all my questions and concerns. My case involved a child custody matter, and I was naturally anxious about the outcome. Soon after, I was introduced to Attorney Joey Mendoza, who represented me during the court hearings. Joey was extremely easy to work with and very understanding. He made sure every detail was carefully handled to achieve a successful outcome. Thanks to Joey's consistent communication and expertise, we were able to secure sole legal and physical custody, which brought me immense relief. Overall, the entire team at the Law Office of Priscilla Solario was fast, accurate, and efficient. They managed everything, from court filings and hearing dates to mediation, with professionalism. They also consistently monitored and responded to emails immediately, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. I will definitely be using their services in the future and highly recommend them!

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Have you handled cases like mine before?
    Inquire about the lawyer’s experience in cases with similar facts and legal issues.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
