It is very rare in this day and age to find an honest, ethical, and no nonsense Attorney. Jonathan has more than earned my respect and appreciation, I value him and his ethics more than imagined. He kept me informed throughout the entire process, too show my appreciation for his hard work, I have already started to refer him friends and family, you don’t get a better thank you than continuing the relationship via referrals. Jonathan thank you for everything, you have given me the opportunity to change my life and stay stabile. I HIGHLY recommend anyone thinking about filing for SS benefits to contact Jonathan. 10 stars in my book.

Jonathon was outstanding!! He is very professional, nice and easy to talk to. Johnathon was always quick to respond back. Process was very smooth and faster than I expected. Most get denied a few times for the beginning process. Don’t get discouraged. Then there’s the hearing. Everything went very well at this stage. Within a few weeks I received my acceptance letter. Thank you very much Johnathon!!!!

They take forever to file your case. Its already 45 days and they haven't yet filed my petition with USCIS. My employer works with these guys, so I have no other option. Or else, I would not go with these guys.

One of the worst legal team you could have. They are expensive and bad at the same time. Only job they do is filing your documents. After that if you ask some questions either they will give you irrelevant answer or they don’t know what problem we are inquiring about. They take days to respond. I completed my and my wife’s case and we handled majority of our problems ourselves. Every time we talk to them about our problems they refer to someone else and tell you to wait. So, never use this legal team for your immigration.

If I could give attorney Zhao a below one, it would most definitely be a 0. She has poor manners and didn't think my spouse case was work, who responds to a client stating "I have been very busy with work" like my spouse case wasn't work. Then gets upset and removed herself from the case after filling into the case because you don't like corrective criticism, how unethical. When she calls her clients she is very disgruntled and pushy, can't be so sure if its a personality conflict or a color/race conflict, but whatever it is. I would not recommend her for any case learn how to treat your clients. You won't make it very far being rude, people are no longer standing for bad behaviors.

I had a legal issue with the business that I manage and Paul King of King & Jones was an absolute pleasure to work with. From the initial phone consultation, Paul was very helpful explaining all my options and the process going forward. While working with them, they were in constant contact all the steps during the way. The final outcome was favorable and I owe it to their expertise in legal business law. Thank you!

I was involved in a very bad car accident where a guy ran a red light and nearly killed me and had put me in the hospital for nearly a month.Once I was able to speak again my first call was to Christine,She expressed her concern and thoughts for my well being.This isn’t my first time I’ve reached out to Christine ..which made the process easier . Christine had settled my case with one of the largest settlements awarded for an accident of this magnitude…..If you’re contemplating on an Attorney,Please have no second thoughts.She is the Lion and the lamb , you wouldn’t want to be on the other side of the court going up against her .She is direct, kind, diligent and in the end she does her due diligence with a VERY FAVORABLE outcome. Christine has represented Many members of my family and friends for nearly 25 years ALL of which have thanked me for recommending her.Thank you Christine for everything you’ve done for me my family and friends.

BEWARE!!!!! Unprofessional, Incompetent, will NOT fight for you! They keep telling you lies, but will ultimately fail you in every aspect of representing you. These people are greedy, unreliable and will NOT fight for you when you need it the most. They will make excuses left and right just so you will let them keep “representing” you. I say it’s all smoke and mirrors. Their so called medical team aren’t even licensed physicians, nor have any medical training. They let unqualified people who have no clue of what they are doing in positions they do NOT need to be in! They handled my case poorly and will NOT recommend. People BEWARE of this law firm.

I reached out to Ms. Edelson at a daunting time in our family's life when my mother was facing a medical crisis. My mother had not prepared a will nor an estate plan and we were worried about losing her assets. Zsil was a calming force for us, she was very empathic, very knowledgeable, explained the entire process in layman's terms and was able to draw up the documents quickly and efficiently. She responded to all my questions quickly, usually within the hour and same day. She took her time to guide me step-by-step how the entire process would unfold and what steps needed to be taken. I am extremely appreciative and highly recommend Ms. Edelson!

Worked with Brian Thompto as an attorney to file my Green card and he was so unreponsive, careless, rude and never ever replied back to my emails neither calls. Wasted my 15 months for PWD and PERm and end result is it got denied because of his mistake to not including my skills in ETA-9089 besides providing him all the details. Even after it got denied, he seems like nothing happened and jeopardizing my future and now i am left with no option else than leaving US as my time is getting closer. I would definitely not recommend him and I still can't believe that i am not the first person to give this type of review but still he is serving in this organization. Seems like all Attorneys here are like same where no one care about their clients. If you wish to waste your time and money, please hire from here.

I felt that I was in really good hands. So thorough. And even saw it through over the weekend. They just don’t make ‘em like Andy. Great firm.

Bill Clark is one of the good guys of family law. In a system that is supposed to put children first, it seems to have been corrupted by people who are driven by money, egos and, and power.
Bill is none of that. He is smart, empathetic, and an excellent reader of people. He understands human behavior. Not always easy to find.
He will fight hard for you. He actually cares about the welfare of your child.
If a parent unfortunately finds him or herself caught in what can be a very difficult situation you want someone you can trust. I highly recommend this law firm. I wouldn't work with anyone else.

I how can I say thank you to a man who you meant so much to my family and me. When it comes to fight for custody of your child most custody battles go to the mother. Paul saw that I good dad who cares about his daughter and want what's best for her. I can go all day telling you the things that he did to ensure that my daughter stays with me, the tireless hours, the continuations, the meetings, sometime being frustrated good things are not going our way in court. But Paul stayed on target he also a brilliant trial lawyer. So I say to parents who want to win their custody of their child I recommend Paul Marzano he's affordable and he cares..

After two years, my divorce was just finalized today. And I couldn't think of anyone I would have wanted representing me but Paul Marzano. Despite my ex-husbands efforts to delay the divorce, Paul was diligent in keeping the proceedings on schedule; and he stayed in communication with me and the other lawyer at all times. It was a very stressful 2 years, but Paul was very patient and took the time to explain every step of the way. I would strongly recommend Paul as a divorce lawyer to anyone who needs representation.

I have to take a moment to recognize Michael Craven and Kevin Salzstein for their amazing support and expertise during my tumultuous divorce process. They were both very knowledgeable and kept me informed throughout the entire process. I was made aware of my rights and what I was entitled to by law. When I made a decision on whether or not to pursue something, my choice was respected and I felt confident in my decision.
Both were very easy to work with and respected my time. Michael is well versed in business law as well, which I found helpful as an entrepreneur. Although I did not consider my divorce to be high conflict, when things did become stressful or intense, they remained professional and helped to keep me calm as well. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a lawyer who is authentic, who has a sense of humor, and who gets results. Divorce is one of the most difficult life stages and having either of these two in your corner, is worth every penny.

Michael D. Ettinger & Associates allocated an angel to my case
Oliver Soleiman was my attorney in a recent legal case. Oliver Soleiman vacated an OP case for me within 3 simple hearings. Not only was Oliver an astute professional at handling my case he also offered a great deal of mental and emotional relief throughout the entire process. I've never been in court to defend myself and especially to defend against a tyrannical opposition at that. Anxiety and stress hit a lifetime peak. Michael D. Ettinger and associates allocated an angel to handle my case.

Oliver Soleiman is the most trustworthy, competent lawyer I have ever had the pleasure to work with in my 46 years. He is a kindhearted, sympathetic, Shark (when required)! If you need a lawyer shop around and I guarantee the smart decision is to circle back and hire him. When you know it’s right trust your gut and don’t waste your precious time. Wonderful person in the prime of his career. I can’t say enough good things. My divorce was a nightmare before he took over. My only regret is not hiring him from day one. 10 ⭐️

I contacted Michael’s office because I needed an attorney. We talked and he assigned Oliver Soleiman to my case. Oliver was awesome. We had gone to court twice and both times he was totally on his game. He actually cared about me. I felt like it just was not just a case to him. He was so personable and really worked on my case to get the very best outcome which he did. He really made me feel calm and very positive about everything and reassured me everything would be fine. He walked me through every step and followed up on everything. I honestly cannot say enough great things about Oliver. I highly recommend him! He is going to go far with his law career!

Sandy had been helpful in the past with a residential closing, but I recently employed her to help me secure a commercial property, and she caused me to lose the contract by doing half-a** work. It seemed like she just didn't care, which was disappointing. Would not recommend hiring her unless it is a super easy transaction and she doesn't have to do much work.

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.
