I became a client of this firm after my attorney Chris Konneker joined a few months ago. I was optimistic about following him from
His old firm, as he had been excellent up to that point and once we made the move, he proceeded to continue smashing it until the case was settled. He’s worth a hire, and even worth a follow to another firm. ONDA is a better company for having him on the roster. 2 years of correspondence with him and my only regret is that I didn’t get to meet him and shake his hand. But even that is a testament to the convenience and ease ONDA provides.

Hi my name is Varsha Lockhart, I had an accident in 2016 Halina was my Lawyer at the time. She handled my case with dignity and care. She was diligent on the case and anytime I called her. She was available. They won my case with the big settlement. Everyone was caring and making sure I got the needs that was met if I was to choose a lawyer, it would be Halina and her law firm. I had a great experience with them. I was not judged nor was I cast aside you know some Lawyers they don’t respond or they don’t care about what you’re going through but it was a loving, caring law firm. They felt like friends more than they felt like Lawyers-and enjoyed having her on my case. If I was gonna go with any law firm, it would definitely be Halina‘s law firm. She is down to Earth. She is understanding she is capable of her job well educated and knowing the task that needs to be met she guide you when you’re scared of the outcome, she-brings warm, confidence in you.

I was facing a very stressful legal situation regarding a high profile case. I wasn't sure where to turn. Then I found Marc May. From the very first consultation, Marc was thoughtful, intelligent, and clearly a rockstar. He took the time to explain everything clearly and answer all my questions in a way I could understand.
Throughout the entire process, Marc kept me informed and up-to-date on the progress of my case. He was always available to address any concerns I had, and his guidance proved invaluable.
Thanks to Marc’s expertise and diligence, I was able to resolve my legal situation…better than I could have ever hoped. I am incredibly grateful for his representation and highly recommend Marc May to anyone in need of a skilled and trustworthy lawyer.

In order to help our adult daughter through what would become a long difficult divorce process, our family needed an experienced family law attorney. Since we didn't know who could help us, we turned to a long time real estate attorney friend of ours for a recomendation. Without hesitation, he recommended that we contact Marc May.
Marc quickly arranged an initial meeting. During our first meeting, Marc made sure that he got to know us as a family, our daughter's situation and what our goals were. He then clearly explained the range of legal costs that we could anticipate based on our team approach. Marc made us feel very comfortable and confident that our problem was in good hands. Often a divorce procedure can become a very messy series of legal actions driven by the client's emotional connection to the case. If not skillfully guided by legal counsel, this approach can easily create additional unnecessary legal costs to the client. Marc clearly understands this dynamic and is careful to explain all legal avenues available to the client along with the cost benefit of each approach in order to help the client control legal costs. Due to his many years of experience in family law Marc is able to temper his guidance and formulate approaches that have the highest probability of producing the best outcome for the client.
It was a pleasure to work with Marc, Macy and their staff. Everyone was very responsive, considerate and professional. We rate this law firm +5 stars and to anyone with a family law problem we highly recommend contacting Marc and Macy. We are confident that they can help solve your legal problem too.

I would give Marc and Macy both 100 stars if Google allowed.
After beginning to write my review here, something had called my attention away. When I came back just now to complete it, I saw that I'd mistakenly hit 1 star and it posted. Please be assured that was my error.
From the first time I met them, the COMPASSION, CARE, RESPONSIVENESS, and PROFESSIONALISM demonstrated by Marc, Macy, and their legal assistant far surpassed the norm- and still does today. They truly had (and have) my back. From my first appointment, I knew I'd be in good hands and I cancelled appointments I'd made to interview other attorneys because I hired them on the spot. What stood out to me when I first met them was INTEGRITY. As they were working so diligently on my behalf during one of the most difficult seasons of my life, I not only received stellar legal care, but also I unexpectedly received so much more-- fears were eased, wisdom was imparted, and a trusted family friendship has developed. I have referred them out multiple times and will continue and am truly grateful to have been under the care of this amazing legal team during that difficult season in my life.

Brad and his firm were excellent. I had a recurring problem with my infotainment system, still covered under warranty. In spite of 6-7 trips to the dealer, and umpteen number of software patches, the system continued to have issues. I reached out to Brad, who quickly evaluated my situation, and took action. He represented my interest well, timely and professionally and helped reach a fair and reasonable settlement with the manufacturer. I would highly recommend him to anyone having habitual issues with their warranty covered vehicle.

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.
