Personally I had bad experience with this firm , initially I contacted the is firm because we need to resolve an issue with something we purchased and we got scammed for more than 5k with a company in Miami , this firm ask for every detail in this case and they took it but after 3 months I was trying to contact them and the person in charge of my case was no longer available and they didn’t tell us anything like an update or anything so I had to call Them and also write many messages via Instagram and after 3 weeks they finally responded just saying that they not gonna take my case without mentioning anything
Terrible customer service and I believe the lawyers or attorneys working there are really amateur and with zero professionalism

Hey, I want to thank the team for their exceptional help in resolving an issue with my credit report. I was distressed when I discovered incorrect information on my report, but the team handled everything with professionalism. I’m relieved to see the issue with Equifax is finally resolved. I truly appreciate their expertise and support. Now I’m waiting for the Experian settlement agreement.
Highly recommend their services!:)

Having Camille Coolidge represent me was a positive experience in every way. My wife and I were beyond impressed by her professionalism, attention to detail, organization and clarity. She was prompt and thorough in her responses to all of our questions and concerns. Not only does she strive for excellence as an attorney but she is above all a wonderfully caring human being. Facing legal challenges can be very difficult but Camille Coolidge makes every effort to help her clients and gives them peace of mind through the process. I can’t thank her enough for everything she did for me and my family.

Rock Title helped me with the purchase my property back in 2014. I reached out to them earlier this week (one month shy of 10 YEARS later) because I needed a copy of the 2014 survey and was hoping they still had a file for my transaction. I truly thought it was a long shot and half expected to be brushed off. Not the case at all. Fabio and the team worked expeditiously to find my survey and provided me with updates along the way. The client communication and dedication was truly exceptional. And I am happy to report, they found the survey! Highly recommend.

Having engaged The Mayersohn Law Group last year the positive change in proceedings has been considerable.
As a victim of violent crime and fraud I was left feeling like I didn't matter and courts missing so much. That was before I met Leah Mayersohn.
My case was assigned to Mario who has been excellent and attentive to detail.
When proceedings required involving the Miami District Sate Attorney, Leah Mayersohn came to the court offices herself with me to make sure the case was going to be dealt with appropriately.
After a personnel departure at Mayersohn law and a change of lawyers in my case, Leah Mayersohn continued to honour my prior agreement and continued to work on my case at what was a very difficult time for me.
The professionalism and detailed knowledge of how to move forward and deal with my case exceeded anything I experienced before.
I can not thank Leah and Mayersohn Law group enough.

I normally don’t write reviews, but I wouldn’t wish this situation on anyone. My lawyer is Mary Hammons, I can’t speak for other attorneys but if she is assigned to you, RUN or ask for her to be removed. My experience, with her during trial was horrible she was not prepared and would not object to false statements and information provided to the judge.

Would avoid working with this firm if at all possible. They are extremely slow to respond, completely disregard emails, and show a complete lack of empathy or understanding. If you are not consistently following up, you will be hard pressed to receive any type of response. If you do receive a response, it will be short and often times not even answer your questions. It consistently felt like we had to chase them down for the most simple requests. Go elsewhere if you have the option.

Be careful of hiring this guy. He is insidious. He called me after my criminal case was dropped Nolle Prosequi. Talked me into signing a contingency retainer to sue for police misconduct and false arrest. He held on the case for 3 months as the deadline to file before statue of limitations runs out. When I call now hangs hangs up the phone because of reasons he will not say. My opinion is he wants money UPFRONT or he will try to claim it was his case now that I signed on another Lawyer!! Becarefull when a lawyer wants to sign on too fast. My Opinion of this man is horrid!!! Stay Away!!!!

I actually met David as a veteran practicing yoga. Little did I know that he would be my light at the end of a very dark tunnel. David was more than a lawyer, and a very good one, with a stellar reputation of respect from the bench, attorney coworkers, and the community. He wasn't afraid of a David and Goliath situation, and walked me through some very confusing and difficult times. I can never repay the kindness, and so I pay it forward the best that I can. He will always hold a special place in my memory, and heart. His services were phenomenal, and I did win. Thank you David.

We called the firm’s and started the case , then Mr. Carlos contacted me the very next day representing the Law Firm through the case processing, it was my big confusion as never been accident or know what to do or where to start… specially I’m over 70 years old , He was very passionate about my age and my health like a family person during doing his job in very professional styling, and very organized doing things with me and for me between scheduling appointments or change dates for it, all the small details need a lot of attentions
He walked with me more than 3 or more months journeys with a smiling and polite friendly conversation as a great human being.
Finally everything come to end, and it was Happy ending because Mr. Carlos did a great job not only with me ….
BUT….

He is always willing the explain even the most complex legal issues in a manner understandable us. We would highly recommend him to any business associates.

I called around to various attorney's unsure if I had a case or not against my doctor. It was of a sensitive issue and most attorney's I spoke with I felt didn't even listen to my concern before already having a strategy. Though Mr. Chiarello can hardly understand what it feels like to be a woman and go through something so sensitive, he still showed sympathy and listened before just saying he would take me on as a client. So far I have been impressed with his professionalism, communication, and his dedication to my case. He didn't promise me any guarantees but he is doing this on consignment so really he takes all the risk of his time to get potentially nothing. So the fact he is working so hard for me without a guarantee he will get paid, well that is amazing to me. I am confident in his ability to get us the best outcome on my case.

At signing he gave us the impression that we will have a certain amount at the end of the case. Just before we settled he told us he will consider taking less percentage because of the low amount of the settlement - but then when we signed he took the original amount and we were left with barely enough to pay hospital bills. Shame! This is how you misguide people and make them sign things they don’t want to sign. He was also only cooperative only in the beginning - the last few months we could barely reach him, he would never respond. warning- we don’t recommend his service! far away from being honest.

Do not hire this man and if he happens to be your court appointed lawyer, try to get a new one! We had Samuel Walker handle my husband’s appeal and not only did he lose, he was arrogant and rude throughout the entire process. He refused to communicate with my husband nor myself about anything. We wouldn’t find out about hearings and filings until much later and the appeal he filed was completely botched!

Attorney Walker has the ability to diffuse contention between the parties in a courtroom. His speech is calm and articulate. He is thorough in his approach to counsel. I have been satisfied with the level of representation in both my appellate and family court cases.

Chris is a great guy and incredibly knowledgeable with regards to employment and labor law. His follow-through and responsiveness needs significant improvement. While I was happy with my initial result, I was unable to complete the lose ends of my case with him as he was very slow to respond and never followed through with my requests.

This man robbed us of our money and took advantage of a family in need!!! A brief synopsis, I hired this lawyer to represent my husband who was picked up upon return to the Fort Lauderdale cruise port (our family vacation) on a VOP from Orange county, FL. us!! His retainer fee was $2500 and he took this money knowing that he could not help us and after I realize his scheme I fired him and agreed to give us back half the fee ($1250) in which I received and gave to his new lawyer in the county where the case is and where he need to be transferred to! DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU, BUYER BEWARE!!

Chose Larry a few years ago for a case.
If you want to win your case or have a good shot, choose another lawyer team.
Very difficult to keep track of the case through sufficient communication and it seemed like not a lot of effort/ lazy effort from Larry to strategize and evaluate weak points of the opposing party.
Stressful to know that your lawyer is not putting out the best defense or carefully strategizing about what will win the case. Lawsuits are stressful enough.
If you want to win, go elsewhere!

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.
