I've worked with Rick Crowson on several matters and the experience has been amazing. He went above and beyond the call of duty in many situations. Thank you for being so attentive to my needs, aggressive when the situation called for it, and for always being focused on our objectives in the most efficient ways possible.

If they do not want to represent you, they will not honor the free consultation they have on their website. I called them last week to inquire about the free consultation. A paralegal, Lauren, took my called. She emailed me and told me that the lawyer declined to represent me. I never met with a lawyer or anything at all. I gave them vague details and just wanted THEIR consultation because their website popped up on Google for government liability. I was hoping to hire them. In the email Lauren sent me, the subject line was Clayton County Sheriff Office, which has nothing to do at all with my inquiry; this leads me to believe they misunderstood my inquiry. So, I replied to her email for clarification. She never replied back. I called her to get a better understanding on why they would not do the free consultation and why they declined to represent despite not knowing the details on why representation is needed. She told me they do not handle criminal cases. I REPEATEDLY TOLD HER I AM NOT INQUIRING ABOUT A CRIMINAL CASE!!!! She refused to listen and seemed frustrated. In the end, she said she'll reach back out to the lawyer for more info. I felt dismissed and emailed her to disregard.

Mr. Bullman represented me in an : " ILLEGAL POLICE STRIP SEARCH " Where I was violated, humiliated and treated like pure trash. I was very terrified afterwards and did not know what to do or who to call to help me. (As I felt helpless) From the moment I called him, He immediately went into action. He is a Lawyer that actually listens to his clients in a very professional, patient and respectful manner. HE FIGHTS to WIN!!!! If you want a lawyer that has YOUR best interest in representation. Look no further. Because you won't regret it. Mr. Bullman DOES NOT PLAY!!! This is what he does and he does it EXCEPTIONALLY WELL. HE GETS JUSTICE. He is the voice for the people. He was very forthcoming and honest through out the entire process . He did exactly what he said he was going to do and got it done. I am most grateful for his representation. If I could give 10 stars I would. I highly recommend that you call Attorney Mark Bullman if you are looking for an attorney that gets desired results.

Oh my God! Never in my wildest dream did I ever think I would need a lawyer, but I am blessed to have Mr. Orlando as a friend, who was able to get Mr Scott (my lawyer) to reach out to me ASAP. Being on workman comp really blew through my savings. The firm was very interested in my case and encouraging. When the settlement finally came in, I was satisfied, but my lawyer wasn't. He said, "That's not enough for what you went through, let me see if I can get maybe 5K more for you". Well he did better than that, he got me 12K more! The check cleared and I'm hoping to never need a lawyer again, but if I do this firm will/is my only choice.

The consultation with secretary/answering/paralegal was off putting. She asked questions that made no sense, Then asked why a case was put off by a solicitor for so long? That was a very huge red flag... Next when I told this assistant I wanted to do the attorney consult for $350 she starts asking me more questions? I'm assuming she misheard my request but at this point I was past wanting services with this firm. When I told her thank you but ill look elsewhere, she laughs and says "We've never lost a case". Unfortunately you lost a potential client. So 1 star.

If you are looking for a great attorney that not only fights for you and your loved one but also takes the time to walk you through every step, keeps you informed, and gives you personalized care then you need to hire John and the Mabrey Firm. Through all of the issues that came up John not only kept me informed but also spent the time making sure I understood every aspect of the case. I felt reassured that we as a team were making the right decision at each phase of the case. I felt like John and his team truly cared about our situation and wanted to help my family bring some peace and justice to our situation. I know that we got the best outcome by having John and his team working on our case. The Mabrey firm may not be the largest is Georgia but I feel like it is the Best in Georgia. If you want a lawyer that treats you like family while at the same time working like a pitbull to fight for your family then please hire John and his team.

Words can't express the amount of gratitude I have for Mr. Burkhalter. He helped me out when I was at my lowest and passed no judgement. He did everything he said he would do plus more. He stuck it out with me the entire 2½ years it took to resolve the case and not only did he help me avoid 10 years in prison I received probation and some fines. Every lawyer I came across in my time of need was only interested in money the first thing he asked was how am doing then said let's get you out of here not to mention he came and saw me on a Sunday and was already working on my case before he arrived. My bond was denied by my initial judge he was able to get me a bond before I even received the court date for them to tell me if they would give me one again. There were a lot of ways things could have went sour but he always stay on the up and up and kept me a good spirits and I'm forever appreciative for it.

After being denied by the big dawgs because my case wasn’t profitable enough to be important to them, this law firm swooped in and was there for me every step of the way at any time of day to answer all questions. They aggressively pursued getting me all the help I needed and were relentless with negotiations getting me the best return possible. With me being active duty they were extremely helpful being able to talk to me at all hours of the night and via email when required. I wouldn’t use another lawyer after my experience with these guys!

I've never won anything from a radio station and I had been navigating a rough patch in life. One day while Dashing I was listening to Majic and heard that Amy was giving away money for the new year. I'm like could it be a sign? I went ahead and explained what I could do with money like they asked and gave it to God. I was leaving an interview from getting a new job and moments later got the call that I won!!!! It still doesn't seem real to me. I'm very thankful for Amy and whenever it's time to get the prize I hope that I can thank you in person. Well, I was very happy about the prize. But, now I feel like I haven't won anything and that I'm hassling people about something that they said they chose me for. Nobody has contacted me to tell me the next steps. The initial call and the video went well, but, now I'm getting silence. It's been 5 days so I guess I'll just wait. I got really excited because I really did need the money and I just knew that this was from God. I still had to rob Peter to pay Paul. If God is willing hopefully I hear something soon.

I can't say enough good things about The Church Law Firm, LLC. If you're looking for a lawyer who is aggressive to get things done, to being compassionate, treating the client like family and being there for the family of the client, then this is your lawyer. His paralegal Emily that helps with the initial interview is the sweetest, compassionate person to talk with and allows you all the time you need to talk. Attorney Church has a great knowledge of the law, he invest a lot of time in his cases, explains everything to your level, always responds to your questions/concerns. As a family member, I feel he went beyond what most lawyers would do. The family is very involved in the clients case and they have questions too that he always is willing to take time to answer. Attorney Church was very compassionate and encouraging when we felt at the bottom and always respond to us also. He is a fighter for your case to get you the best outcome possible and sees the good in the client. He respects the client no matter what they are charged with.

If I could give a 0 I would! Floredia is awful! The motto is everybody is somebody well by me! They wasted months on a time sensitive case that they took to wait months later to deny because I was being forced to seek mandatory additional care, which was not stated previously, I've lost my husband of 22yrs which I told Floredia but she doesn't care! I'm a nobody& my situation is irrelevant! I'm hurt beyond words for the inconsideration & I personally recommend Julian Sanders if you want results respect and a legal time that fights for you!

I would highly recommend Tonya Shy and the TS Law Firm to my family and friends. They work hard to give each client high-quality legal services and the personal attention they deserve. Attorney Shy was very honest from the beginning of my case. She and her staff always kept me in the loop of everything throughout my case. She showed me that there are still great attorneys out here that have your best interest. I’m so thankful to God that he directed me to her.

My name is Antonio Rogers and it is a honor to write this review for Attorney Tonya Shy who represented me. I'm from Louisiana and while visiting family I was involved in a auto accident where I was rear ended by another motorist and I was injured. I did my research on attorneys in Atlanta and after reading the positive reviews I selected Attorney Shy to handle my case. Throughout the entire process Attorney Shy and her team kept me well informed. Being a former claims adjuster and retired law-enforcement office I knew that attorney Shy was very knowledgeable and the right attorney to represent me. She was at all time very patient but diligent regarding my auto accident case. Attorney Shy and her team made me feel like family and she settled my claim and I was very satisfied with the outcome. I highly recommend Attorney Shy to anyone that needs representation because she is simply the best. Thank You Attorney Shy for all you do.

I’am So appreciative for the professional and exceptional service and representation that I received at TS-Law. Attorney Shy walked me through the entire process from start to finish. I could not have ask for a better more caring and compassionate attorney or staff who fought for me. Attorney Shy is the physical embodiment of what I call a “Courageously Gifted “ Attorney at Law. And to make matters even better she got me more then I expected in my case. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽. Thank You TS-Law!!!

After my car accident, I was feeling overwhelmed, but Kierstyn and the team were there every step of the way. Kierstyn was always available to answer my questions, kept me informed, and ensured I felt supported the entire time. Thanks to her hard work and dedication, we won the case, and I received the compensation I deserved. Sexton Weldon Law Firm is the one to go with if you’re looking for a law firm that genuinely cares about its clients and delivers results. Huge thanks to Kierstyn and the entire team!

The days after my DUI left me hopeless and ashamed. The day I chose Mr. Cauble changed that. While being totally professional and knowledgeable, he understood my situation and provided me hope and reassurance. The current pandemic made the logistics difficult but that did not deter Mr. Cauble & his Firm from keeping me informed of the progress of my case and where things stood with the prosecutor. His advise throughout was spot on and by following it, ultimately the charges of DUI and open container were lessened and the fine greatly reduced. I consider Mr. Cauble not only a skilled and talented attorney, but a caring and compassionate person. He was more than helpful in guiding me through the legal issues and the emotional aspects as well. Mr. Cauble is a credit to his profession and community. I am grateful for him being my advocate. Thank you.

Communication was always there and kept us informed throughout the whole process. He truly puts his heart into the situation, and will advocate for you until the very end!

Hire Him!!! Jim is very professional, organized and a true fact finder. Now he’s not your therapist(which is for your best benefit), however he works extremely hard even after hours putting together the best presentation possible for your case. Jim helped me put out a very unnecessary fire storm created by my ex. As expected with any custody battle this was a very emotional time for me, however Jim didn’t allow me to feed into my emotions. Jim stuck to the facts and after nearly a year of costly mud slinging and irrelevant litigations brought on by the opposing counsel Jim got me exactly what I needed for me and my daughter.

I am very thankful that I chose The Rockefeller Law Firm to represent me in in my child custody case. He was referred to me by other lawyers, which speaks volumes. Mr. Rockefeller is a No-nonsense, straight to the point and very professional attorney . Custody cases can be very stressful and emotional , but he will make sure he does not let your emotions cloud your judgment in decision making. He’s going to tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear and help you stay focused on the bigger picture. He’s not your therapist, but he’s a brilliant attorney who sticks to the facts that matter and have a legal basis, he will cut you off on the frivolous fluff that so many clients want to vent about, this will save you money in the end. He has earned my respect and exceeded my expectations in court.

If you are looking for a Lawyer that cares about you than the money. You should hire “Bubba Head “. I had hired another Attorney that gave me little to no hope of winning my case. After a pre- consultation with Mr. Head. He gave me free advice to help assist my Attorney. Upon realizing Mr. Head’s expertise. I decided to release my Attorney and hire him. Mr. Head went to bat for me and had my charges reduced to a lesser offense. Mr. Head is one of the hardest working Attorneys out there and he will work hard for you. In closing , Mr. Head I just want to say thank you. I will never be able to to express my gratitude.

You will not find a more experienced attorney who will get you the best possible outcome in your case than Bubba Head. A very well respected attorney in Atlanta referred me to him for my personal injury claim resulting from being rear ended in a car accident. My case was complicated and Bubba knew how to navigate through the multiple layers. Ultimately, Bubba wrote a masterful Holt demand letter that included all of the details of the incident and resulted in the company granting our full request. Besides being the most competent attorney you can hire he is the most compassionate attorney you will find. He understood the nature of my injuries as well as the associated stress of the accident and was supportive throughout the process of my recovery.

I was referred to William Head because I am out of state- I could not have been more pleased. I am young, had many questions and was very concerned. He treated me as a person, not just another case. I knew he wanted the best for me. He was very supportive and encouraged me in life situations as well as legal situations. He met with me and explained everything to me in detail and told me step by step what I needed to do to make sure my case was handled. He followed up with me after the case just checking on me, still encouraging me to do the right thing. William Head was very personal, professional and I could not be more pleased with the way my case was handled. I am so appreciative and would refer anyone to him!

Being on workman comp really blew through my savings. The firm was very interested in my case and encouraging. When the settlement finally came in, I was satisfied, but my lawyer wasn't. He said, "That's not enough for what you went through, let me see if I can get maybe 5K more for you". Well he did better than that, he got me 12K more!

I'm assuming she misheard my request but at this point I was past wanting services with this firm. When I told her thank you but ill look elsewhere, she laughs and says "We've never lost a case".

When a member of our immediate family called us from jail, we were completely bewildered and didn't know where to turn. Not only was this our first experience with the criminal justice system, but our family member was out of state. We didn't know any lawyers in Georgia, but after an exhaustive search, we were very fortunate to find Tom Church. Tom was with us every step of the way, beginning with successfully obtaining bail, and concluding with a positive result and no jail time. Needless to say, we are all relieved and grateful! Tom has an impressive courtroom presence. His defense in our case was well organized and compelling. We knew we were in good hands. On a personal level, Tom and his firm are a pleasure to work with. They answer all calls and emails promptly, which is important in a time of great anxiety. Tom explains the law in terms that are easy to comprehend. He is intelligent, witty, and compassionate...all traits that give much needed comfort and inspire confidence. We can't thank him enough!

Tom Church gave me my life back! I was convicted of a very serious crime almost four years ago that would have resulted in a lifelong hardship and very little chance of living a normal life of any kind. With little hope, I contacted Mr. Church to see if there was ANYTHING he could do to make my life just a little less painful. Without hesitation, he knew exactly how to handle my situation. Tom quickly wrote up a motion, set a hearing date, and successfully had my original conviction withdrawn and changed to a lesser charge. The new charge allowed me to have first offender, meaning after probation all charges would be expunged and my records sealed. Next, he filed a motion to have my probation sentence terminated early. Tom found a way to have my case heard virtually, even with the COVID restrictions. While in court, Tom knocked it out of the park. His outstanding work and line of questioning quickly convinced the judge to terminate my ten-year probation after serving less than four years. The judge and ADA were so impressed with his professionalism that they took a significant amount of time out of my hearing to personally thank him and even encouraged him to handle more cases in my county! Thanks to Tom I now have a promising future and a CLEAN RECORD. Tom answered every one of my emails promptly and truly cared about my case and my endless questions. Even after his work with me was done, Tom continued to help me with lingering issues that were far beyond the scope of our contract. You cannot do better than Tom Church if you find yourself in a hopeless legal situation. No need to keep searching for the right attorney, Tom is as good as it gets. He accomplished what seemed impossible, I can’t thank you enough for your diligence and dedication to my case.

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.
