I’ve been working with attorney Jacob Espindola since June of this year. My first initial thought was he was very knowledgeable and heard me out during my consultation. Since then he has guided me through the process, checked in when he’s supposed to and everything has been worry free. He’s helped me out tremendously, and would recommend him to anyone that’s dealing with life situations involving the law.

Doug is great to work with. His approach and the firm's environment make working with him and his team a comfortable experience in potentially uncomfortable situations. He takes the time to thoroughly understand situations and issues--not only from the legal perspective, but from the real world practicality of running a business. He provides great advice and he includes his clients in working through issues as appropriate so that the relationship is a partnership and makes true sense for the particular business entity. Doug's focuses on prevention. In the area of employment law, he works with his clients to ensure that policies, education, etc are in place to protect the business from potential adverse action thereby making the workplace a good one for the business owner (leadership) and employees alike. I highly recommend Doug to anyone seeking counsel for their business.

I couldn’t thank John enough for his hard work, perseverance, and willingness to take a tough case.

I had a slip and fall and for five years my attorney, Jesse Fretwell, helped me in every way possible to get my case handled and settled. His assistant Jennifer Celaya, was just amazing, she personally called or text and had heart to heart conversations with me.
They both made me feel welcomed all the time and that they truly cared about me. I had many other case workers that were involved along the way, which also contributed to my case. I can't say enough about how well they kept me up to date and informed about every aspect throughout these past five years. I would recommend Jesse Fretwell, and the whole staff at Freedman Law.

John made sure I not only understood how every part of the process works but a good idea of what to expect at every stage of the process. I've never had a lawyer but was worried the experience would leave me wondering on my own more- with John that wasn't the case and the most pleasant and clarity granting parts of my whole experience were seated across from him or by him discussing the process of my legal case. Each step of the process had him explaining what's next and what they'll be doing so well that I had very few if any questions after each meeting despite me being the type to really pry into a process to understand it. This all came together to turn what could have been an anxious and arduous process into one where I had peace of mind in knowing it's being taken care of.
He kept my expectations of the outcome moderate and overdelivered while being personable and a guy I'd buy a beer and shoot the shit with. I consider that a mark of a true professional in a more intimate profession and if I'm ever unfortunate enough to be hit by another driver again I'll be fortunate enough to know where I'll be going to seek justice and accountability.

My case was settled, don’t know if it was because of her, I don’t think it was because of her. I would not recommend this establishment at all. Very nice spoken employees but very difficult to get a hold of the actual attorney, receptionist gives me different information. My money just went bye bye and I only saw her in person including courts once or twice. Very vague information received. I feel used and deceived. PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH AND ASK QUESTIONS.

There is so much I can say about Miguel Jimenez. He is one of the best attorneys I’ve ever seen. He helped me with my custody case and we got exactly what we wanted. He was communicative and quick to respond. We communicated via email and he was quick with it. I felt like he was a really honest and would tell me what I needed to hear. We are now going onto the divorce part but I feel so confident with Miguel I recommend him 100%

Llame a sacar una cita, la cual fue aceptada, recibí un correo de confirmación, un día anterior a la fecha me llegó un mensaje confirmando, llegó el día la hora y nadie se conectó . Llame a preguntar qué ocurrió, indicaron que habían problemas con las citas pactas, me pidieron que llame la siguiente semana lo realice nadie contestó, me volví a comunicar hoy me indicaron que saqué otra cita, antes de la fecha llame a ver si me agendaron o no 👎 muy mal servicio porque si uno llame, pregunta y decide sacar una cita es porque realmente está interesada en buscar este servicio. Me quedo con la mala experiencia ya que perdí mucho tiempo en esperar una cita que nunca se dio. Siento que debe haber una mejor atención, es más fácil ser honesto decir ya no tenemos citas este mes, ser honesto no hacer perder el tiempo a las personas.

On February 4, 2019 I pretty much lost my life. Definitely anything of value that I had earned up to that point was either gone or on the verge of being gone due to a stabbing at my business. I used reviews to find a good attorney and it seemed Jeff Reich was the one, along with co counsel Shane Reich and Paul Hager. After I retained him strangely that very night or the next I ran into him and I guess a couple of his friends at a local restaurant and he met my wife and our five kids, even my mother and I thought at that point wow I’ve got the best guy because he sees I’m just a regular guy with 5 small kids. I could not have been more mistaken if I had tried! And as I sit here having just looked up his reviews again I cannot say how stupid I feel for missing some of the bad reviews that were already out there. I think I need an attorney so bad and I was stressed out I missed those very obvious already existing bad reviews. One reviewer mentioned he took the food out of her children’s mouthes, and that must be a true review because similarly Jeff told me today “what do you think I’m going to feed your five kids?” No Jeff. I just hoped you were a decent man. Without getting too much into how nasty the last two years has been including he and his staff lying to me. Multiple different lies but the one that hurt the most was a lie that he could get me a loan to help out with my business that turned out to be completely false. I also got a terrible taste of how shady people can be when he had me sit on a long phone call three-way with Stanford university where his assistant was trying to get me in but she was lying through her teeth to do it and win the Stanford person would ask me questions I told the truth and so we couldn’t get in. Did you guys really expect me to lie? Evidently you did. So my review would match several of the other reviews out there but unfortunately mind I feel took a real dark turn recently. All of a sudden out of the clear blue sky Jeff fires me. Gives me a couple different reasons that don’t make sense as to why he’s firing me. And then I find out I’m getting kicked out of my business because since he fired me and the other side of the lawsuit we are involved with now sees that I have no attorney they are attacking me. He has spoken highly of one of the attorneys on the other side‘s team and referred to him as hey friend. One really have to wonder just how good of a friend when I get kicked out without enough time to do anything about it. So what part of my life didn’t get wrecked on February 4, 2019 my attorney that I trusted with my life just decided to wreck the rest of my life. And when I tried to nicely speak to him today and show him the new paperwork I received he only made ugly comments such as I don’t do pro bono and what do you think I’m going to feed your five kids? So yes people I sincerely hope you do better than I did when looking at the reviews out there on attorneys. I cannot tell you how ignorant I feel sitting here seeing reviews that are saying basically what I said but those reviews were written five years ago! It seems the five star reviews with no comments are probably just friends of the staff or Jeff himself. Because the reviews with statements are all negative. And although I can’t comment on other peoples experiences I can say that the events that began my downfall were bad enough but it was what my own attorney has done or didn’t do that has really destroyed me. Furthermore I would be careful of hiring the other people in his office because they all review each other’s cases and so clearly those two other attorneys had an influence on what Jeff has done to me. Otherwise I don’t know why Jeff regularly said he had to consult with the other two attorneys. So please folks really take time when you study the reviews and don’t make the mistake I did.

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.
