Olivia is absolutely outstanding! She understands the emotional side of your case while being able to find the legal aspects of holding the employer accountable for breaking the law! Made a really terrible situation a little easier by explaining everything and helping me get everything in order and in the right hands. I would not use anyone else! Call them for any sexual harassment case... You won't be disappointed! 10/10

I recently had the privilege of working with Karla Waymire for my family law case, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Navigating family matters can be incredibly stressful and emotional, but Karla's support and expertise made the entire process significantly easier. From our initial consultation, Karla demonstrated a genuine understanding of my situation and listened attentively to my concerns. She patiently explained the legal complexities involved. I truly appreciated her clear and honest communication style. She never made promises she couldn't keep, and always kept me updated on the progress of my case. I highly recommend Karla Waymier to anyone seeking a skilled, experienced, and empathetic family law attorney. I am incredibly thankful for her guidance and support, and I am thrilled with the results she achieved for me.

I paid him $5000. Once he received the money he was MIA more often than not. His receptionist gave one excuse after another and would tell me that I had exceeded "talk time" provided by the retainer although my records indicated otherwise. On the few occasions that I was able to speak with him he claimed he had Covid or RSV. I later heard this was one of his standard excuses.

Definitely would not recommend using Judge Amy Pellman for mediation services. She was incredibly biased from the start and made an unprofessional comment within 10 minutes of the session starting. Should’ve ended it there instead of wasting an entire day making zero progress on any kind of settlement. She was only interested in assisting one side on their goals, and did not advocate for me on any points. She might’ve been a great judge but clearly needs some more experience in mediation, where the purpose is to try and reach an agreement between both parties- not decide who she thinks is right and pursue their interests only. We hired another mediator after this failed session and had immediate success with them.

Esfandi are hands down the greatest attorney's i've worked with and are my go to attorneys anytime I need help . Was having my doubts at the beginning like anyone else would since there's alot of bad attornys that over charge or try to scam there client ,but esfandi gave me a great affordable deal for a hit and run case I did years ago . The stress and worry are not worth it just put my trust in them ,got my license back and at the end of it all came threw strong,& helped me beat my case today . Case started this year and ended today so Im defenetly coming back to these guys and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great affordable attorney. On the other hand they might take a while to get started on your case (like they did with mine) but will not bail on you ! Patients . Thank u Esfandi !! 👍

I am so blessed to have found Lawyer Seppi! I have never been in this situation where I needed a lawyer and don’t plan to ever again, but Seppi made this experience as easy as possible. And after meeting Seppi in his office, I felt even better because he was so kind, personable, patient, and understanding. He answered every question I had and kept me updated. I listened to every word he said, and because of that my case was dismissed before our court date and I remain with a completely clean record! I cannot thank this law firm enough!!!

Words alone cannot express the appreciation and gratitude I have for the fantastic work that Land Legal Group did on my divorce case. They were incredibly efficient, highly competent, and provided exceptional service, handling everything with impeccable professionalism. I would rate them over 10 stars if it were possible. Attorney Joseph Land is a man of his word! From my first telephone conversation with Joseph all the way to the end of my case ,he and his team followed through with what he said they could do for me, and they did successfully. I never felt as though they put my case on the back burner. He always answer the phone himself right away or returned my calls immediately. Attorney Yana, who work along with Joe was compassionate and definitely knew the necessary legal steps needed for my case to have a successful outcome. She returned my emails and calls right away. They were all so very patient with me and never made me feel as though they were rushing me off the phone or didn't have time for me. I am so satisfied and happy with the Land Legal groups performance that I can go on and on. Also, thank you James who handled the financial portion of my case. If you are looking for a Legal team to get the job done legally, ethically and successfully the Land legal group is definitely the team you would want to handle your case. They truly value their clients and it is demonstrated through their performance.

Back in 2020 I hired Yang Law Firm for my child support case. They were horrible. I mean, between every 2 months before even going to court, they swapped my lawyers out. It was so bad that one lawyer even sent me an email to introduce herself that she didn't even know my daughter's name. Not that she misspelled it but gave my daughter a completely different name that was remotely close to her first, middle or last name. It got so bad with them I wrote a Google review while they were working on my case because I was so fed up with having to add money to my retainer but haven't even spoke to anyone with any information on my case. Once I submitted the review on here the owner Elizabeth Yang called my phone and told me that if I remove my review that she would remove any payments owed for my retainer and I would get a new contract for a fixed retainer just so I have representation in court. By the time court took place they had some random who I never met at the courthouse with me. He didn't even ask me to testify at my own hearing for child support. I ended up giving them over $14k and they didn't even have discovery on my behalf. They are so rude and unprofessional. My issue now is that I removed the genuine review I wrote, signed a new fixed rate retainer just for them to show up to court and then they sent me a bill for over $21k. Elizabeth Yang and all her lawyers are frauds. Do not use their services at all. Not to mention, "paying" someone to remove a Google review is illegal. Especially if they lie about charges and still give you a bill for work they never did after the fact. The email from them states clear as day to stop working on my case until I pay. If I never paid them then how is it that Rhoneil showed up to court for my hearing even tho he had no idea what he was doing? If they never got paid then they wouldn't have shown up. Not to mention a retainer is paid upfront and the firm is not supposed to surpass your retainer amount and create a bill that never existed. I hope this review with the proof to go with it allows you all to know that there are better options than them. If I could give them zero stars I would. Filing a complaint as well and writing a BBB report.

I made a costly mistake by not terminating Yang Law sooner. I engaged Yang Law to assist with a 100% amicable divorce, with all stipulations agreed to by both parties. After asking me questions about my case, I was told that it could be handled by a paralegal, so I put my trust in Yang Law and put down a retainer. To date, I have been charged over $4,000 and the only action that has occured is the paralegal filled out and mailed three 2-3 page forms. The paralegal asked for 20+ pieces of financial, and other pertinent information and invoiced thousands of dollars for their "review". I was then sent a boiler plate agreement that did not match my case, given no instruction, and was in told by Yang Law to modify it on my own. I am not an attorney and, when I expressed my reservations about a DIY approach, I was told they were trying to "save me money". I proceeded to do my best with the agreement and send it back to their paralegal. It's been three months since then without feedback. After five frustrating months, I intend to seek another attorney.

Being my first time having to go through a case such as mine, the team members of MLG were awesome. I had such a great experience with Kyle and Jasmin who kept me fully informed and updated on the progress of my case. I was even contacted when I was out of the country for updates. I truly appreciate all the work , time and knowledge they put into settling my case. In such unfortunate situations, if you truly need a knowledgeable team to assist and represent you,I would highly recommend MLG . I hope I won't ,but if I were to ever need a lawyer they will definitely be my go to. Thank you Kyle and Jasmin for your hard work and dedication to great service.

Questions? We have answers
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.

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.
