I originally was referred to Shipman and Goodwin by another attorney. After interviewing with Jim and Bill, I was convinced this was the legal team I wanted to take over my automobile accident lawsuit. Throughout the entire duration of my case, the attention, professionalism and care that Jim displayed with his associates, lacked in absolutely nothing short of perfection. My case was wrought with problems and issues; Shipman and Goodwin was the 4th firm I had hired, and needless to say I was very apprehensive by the time I retained their services. Jim handled very sensitive and personal information with attentive, courteous and polite methods, making me feel protected and safe, while guiding and prepping me through the legal proceedings before my trial. At no time during the period of 2 years did I ever doubt his abilities or experience in the process. I knew that if I was to get through my case with a positive outcome, that there was no better firm or set of attorneys out there to complete the job. I was impressed with both Jim and Bill's varying skills, complimenting each other within different realms of my case, with the end result of tying up any loose or unfinished details, making for a completely thorough case to be presented for a jury trial. When jury time came, they were completely ready to present the facts. I highly recommend Jim and Bill at Shipman and Goodwin, it made a truly unpleasant process comfortable and less stressful. I refer them to anyone I know needing legal assistance. I am deeply grateful for their professional guidance and care with my case.

I met Attorney Spinella at one of the most challenging times in my life. I was under siege by someone who was determined to have me criminally prosecuted for very serious charges. Without getting into details, an entire case was falsely manufactured to support these completely fraudulent claims. Suffice to say, that Attorney Spinella completely protected me by methodically breaking down the and disproving the accusations, thereby giving me my life back.
He is a brilliant, dedicated lawyer, supportive in every way. I urge anyone with a serious criminal case to make every effort to obtain his services. You will not regret it.

Matthew Paradisi represented me in a wrongful termination suit and I cannot speak more highly of his work, his intelligence, his demeanor and his attention to my case. He showed an interest in my case, was great at following up, and was great with walking me through the details of what I was facing. He also did an outstanding job seeing my case through to a mediation that I left feeling like justice had been served and that I could finally look forward and move on from a difficult experience. I highly recommend attorney Matthew Paradisi and his firm, Cicchiello & Cicchiello, LLP.

I hired Jon for a DUI matter and when I appeared in Court he had all of the paperwork filled out and was ready to go. He had me signed up for a driver education course and out of the Courthouse within the hour. My case was dismissed a year later. His advice and counsel was sound, reliable and hopeful. He is smart and knows exactly what he is doing.

I worked with Attorney Phyllis MacCutcheon during one of the most challenging periods of my life—a high-conflict divorce. From the outset, she exhibited exceptional professionalism and strategic expertise, skillfully navigating the complexities of my case with clarity and confidence while ensuring I was fully informed at every step of the process.
Her office administrator, Briana, was equally remarkable—organized, responsive, and always willing to go above and beyond to keep everything running smoothly. Their collaboration provided a seamless and reassuring experience during a very difficult time.
Thanks to Attorney Phyllis’s expert guidance and Briana’s steadfast support, I achieved many critical outcomes that safeguarded my rights as a father and allowed me to move forward with stability, confidence, and dignity for both myself and my children.

My current attorney is Jenna Hyler. She's extremely competent of family law and very responsive.
She will let you know what will fly in court and what won't. You won't be left out in the dark about what's going on in your case if you retain her services.
She's currently helping me try to gain custody of my daughter and I feel a lot better having her on my side.
I would highly recommend her if you're a father in a custody/divorce case and want an attorney who cares and who is straight-forward and honest with you.
She discloses information that the average person would not think of, nor are they aware of.
Highly recommended!

I contacted the Law Office of Ruben E. Acosta, Llc regarding a situation with my former employer. Attorney Acosta provided thorough and insightful counsel and ultimately negotiated an agreement with them. His expertise, professionalism and dedication were evident throughout the entire process and his strategic approach and attention to detail played a pivotal role in achieving a favorable outcome for me. He not only helped manage the legal aspects but he also provided much-needed reassurance that we were on the right track during a stressful period. I highly recommend Attorney Acosta.

I worked with this group and was very dissatisfied. I found them to be dishonest and never kept any promises originally made in 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:
-
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.
