I cannot tell you how pleased I was with the work of the firm, especially Megan Mitchell. I could finally breathe after connecting with Abdnour and having a voice for the first time in months. They listened to me, reviewed the evidence I presented and went in with all the power of information, making the end result exactly what I was hoping.

I was facing a serious felony charge and was incredibly stressed about the outcome. From the moment I contacted Dustin Coontz at Coontz Law Firm, he demonstrated unwavering commitment to my defense. Not only was he able to get the charge reduced, but he also fought tirelessly on my behalf, prepared to go as far as the Supreme Court if necessary. His dedication, knowledge of the law, and relentless work ethic made all the difference in my case. I highly recommend Dustin Coontz to anyone in need of strong legal representation. He is the lawyer you want on your side.

We highly recommend Bryan Waldman, of Sinas Dramis law firm. From our first meeting, it was clear that we were in capable hands. He approached our personal injury case with unmatched professionalism, compassion, and expertise.
Throughout the process, Bryan took the time to explain every detail, ensuring we understood our options and the implications of each step. His dedication to our case was evident as he worked tirelessly to gather evidence and negotiate on our behalf.
Thanks to Bryan’s strategic approach and thorough preparation we were able to settle for a significant amount. He kept us informed and supported us emotionally during a stressful time.
If you’re in need of a personal injury attorney who truly cares about his clients and delivers results, look no further than Bryan Waldman. He is a stellar advocate and earned our respect and trust. Thank you, Bryan, for your outstanding work!

My husband and 2 friends were hit by a car while on their motorcycles. They were very fortunate when they were referred to Bryan at Sinus Dramis. Bryan and his staff were very patient and kind and explained the entire litigation process as it moved along. They were always available for questions and assistance, never once acting like it was an inconvenience. Because there were three individuals - all with different insurance companies and all with varying injuries, this, I’m sure, was a difficult case to navigate through. But here we are, almost at the finish line and never once did we question our choice of attorney/firm. Bryan, Bri, Lauren – we cannot thank you enough for your diligence in getting the case in order and having our best interest at heart.

My husband and I contacted Bryan after I was hit by a car last October. He was recommended to us by a friend who had been in a similar accident. From the very beginning Bryan was helpful and transparent. Throughout my months of working with him to receive a settlement he proved not only be a great attorney, but also a good person. He shared advice with me as if I were one of his own children and honestly gave me his opinion instead of just trying to drag things out to get more money. He made a very difficult process go much smoother with his professionalism and expertise. We appreciate him, and Kriss, so much!

I have worked with Ghazal for two different applications. She is always available and willing to provide the most up-to-date information. On one of my applications, my case was blocked for 3 years and just two months after Ghazal accepted my application, we got some response from USCIS.

Absolutely great. We had the pleasure of working with Ms Mehrani for my wife’s case and it was as smooth as it could be. The 2-year home requirement waiver cases are really difficult to obtain especially for hardship reasons. You have to be very experienced and spend a lot of time personally to make sure everything is in order. I am from a couple of states away and still got her services. Couldn’t be happier with my choice.

I worked with Eric Lore and he went above and beyond working on my case. He has a lot of knowledge on how to evolve the process, and it was apparent he has kept up on the changes and additions to how one can be even more efficient and detailed in a family case now. He is the opposite of a lazy lawyer that just keeps to “old school” ways because it is comfortable and known. He took the time to do paperwork and forms and contracts that he has learned over time would be of a great help to a client in my case, and they were so helpful for my case to be as clear and protected as possible. He did not cut corners, and is a professional who applies what he has learned over time and experience (which he has a lot of in this work in family cases). When my case did call for an application of an “old school way,” because it could benefit me and would be clearer and smoother in the paperwork process, he knew just when and where to apply. He was so professional and *authentically* empathetic in times when I was struggling. That's a hard balance, but in my opinion, he has mastered that balance. He came highly recommended from another lawyer of mine (that also hired Eric for his own personal family case) so I knew if a lawyer spoke highly, it would be a great and thorough experience. Again, the whole experience exceeded my expectations. He is familiar with how to get things done with the least amount of challenges. But when any challenges came up, he assessed, took action, and we got through them quickly, clearly, and efficiently. Extra bonus is he showed poise, grace, and respect to the judge, even in moments that would have proved difficult for anyone else. If I had to do my case all over again, I would choose Eric Lore and Alane Family Law in a heartbeat. I really truly am so grateful to have worked with them through this very big transition in my life, and it has propelled me forward in the best, most positive, clear way possible.

My husband and I hired Eric back in February to handle a school/custody dispute between him and his ex-wife. Eric is the most detail-oriented lawyer I have ever seen. He asked lots of questions to learn our case inside and out. He was always honest when answering our questions even if the answer wasn't something we wanted to hear. He was always available, even after hours and never left us in the dark. He knew exactly what to do in and outside of the courtroom, he knows family law with expertise, and we could not be happier with our outcome! Our only regret is that we didn't have him as representation during my husband's divorce. I don't think we would have ever had to go through this a second time, if we had. We want to thank Eric for everything he did for us and our family. He is BY FAR the best attorney, and we will continue to recommend him for decades to come! THANK YOU, ERIC!! WE APPRECIATE YOU!

Do note that this institution will take far longer than any other to process a simple transcript request. Everywhere else does this electronically in one hour, this institution will take a full week - even though they receive $1,000 per credit hour more than any other institution.

Ms. O'Neil overcharged me, was unprepared for court, did not object when I asked her to, did not include crucial elements ina court order, and never sent me the order. She has made no efforts to recficy the issues. She also advised me that she was famliar with the court processes but has charged me for every interaction she had with the court to find out their processes. Very unhappy with her service. Do not retain if you can help it.

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.
