A family member had a medical emergency during a surgical procedure which caused great emotional distress. We consulted a few attorneys about the matter but the only attorney who was willing to provide guidance in a compassionate manner was Mr. Cleary. From our first phone call to his office and upon speaking with his assistant, Monica, we knew we were in good hands. Mr Cleary took the time to listen to our experience and concerns. Based on our conversations with him, we can confidently say that Mr. Cleary had our very best interest in mind at all times. After thoroughly combing over the medical records we provided, he took the time to explain all the possible outcomes in our situation.
We would highly recommend Mr. Cleary and his staff, without reservation, due to the excellent, personal client service they provided.

The law office of Mr. Hanreck is very professional, on time, approachable and extremely reachable. They are great with communicating and getting back to you. I had to go to trial and Mr. Hanreck did a phenomenal job. Michelle Williams is also an incredible asset as she answered all my questions even walked me through filling out documents when I had some questions and didn’t know entirely how to. Extremely affordable and professional with their invoices in every detail.

I had retained Renier for my case. And in over 1 yr as him being my attorney he never did anything for my case. He only took my money and wanted more money and he had not even done 1 deposition. What was the money for since he had not done anything for my case. He is someone you can't trust. He will take your money and not do anything for your case. Even my judge on the case said on the record that it was ashame that Renier hadn't done anything on the case in over 1 yr. And no supposedly he is running to be a judge. That is so laughable. Please don't hire this attorney, he is the definition of unethical , untrustworthy, unreliable and simply a bad human being .

To put this in words it will not fully convey the appreciation I have for Sandy and his team. During the most difficult time in my life Sandy provided me with extraordinary legal expertise but more importantly the emotional support that I needed. His entire team (Aileen Sinclair, my angel in disguise) was always available, transparent, dependable, and extremely compassionate. They were exactly what I needed, and I can't express the gratification, admiration, and appreciation I have for all of them. Thank you, Sandy, Aileen, and team.!

I highly recommend Mr. Becher. He is the number 1 Attorney to get the job done. He took on my case 2 years ago when I had no clue of what my next step would be for my son I. My son is Disable and I was not getting any assistance from the other party but he assured me of what the outcome of the case would be and that was what he delivered. May God bless you and your family. Mr. Becher is very professional and has a heart for the job. He deserve 10 stars.

I had a situation at my job I was accused of something I didn't do and I was getting all these false accusation and defamation I contacted this law firm and yet they say that they don't do these type of cases but in their website it does say that they handle defamation / slander cases... Don't go to this law firm for anything they just give you the runaround.

John Thornton and Orlando Do Campo are exceptional lawyers! I highly recommend them if you are looking for someone to represent you. John Thornton was excellent at both listening and also communicating with me regarding all details related to my case. He was very knowledgeable regarding the law and easily understood my complex situation. He ALWAYS made sure decisions were made with my best interest in mind. He is assertive when needed and good at collaborating with other professionals as well. I am very thankful I chose their law firm to represent me!

I hired him to assist me in a law suit over a year ago. I would call the office weekly asking for updates. I would be given the run around every single time. He was in court, or they were moving offices. When I finally got to speak to him he was annoyed and even used profanity when speaking to me. I have never met an attorney as disrespectful and unprofessional as him. I wrote him and email expressing my concerns and then he said I was impossible to work with instead of admitting his lack of communication. I would never recommend him and I hope No one ever goes through the waste of time and money I have gone through by hiring him.

I hired Ayesa and we agreed on a flat fee contested divorce to take me to trial. After approximately 6 months of representation and after taking all of my money, she withdraws. I paid her $8000 in full to take me to trial as per the retainer agreement and she withdraws as she got hammered by opposing counsel. I begged and pleaded with her not to withdraw but she didn't care because she already got paid. Why continue to represent someone when you've already got all their money? Also be aware of her partner, they back each other up no matter how wrong the other one is.

Attorney Ayesa Phillips was my divorce attorney in 2013. She handled my case with personal attention to detail and legally fought fiercely, knowledgeably and diligently to ensure I received what was fair. I was very pleased with the outcome of my case and her treatment of me. Throughout the process she patiently listened to and answered my many questions and concerns. I would and have highly recommended Attorney Phillips to friends and co-workers who were very satisfied as well.

STAY FAR FAR AWAY!!! My case was simple. 3rd degree felony telling a bad cop (Miami PD Union President) he is going to lose for a non justified arrest on a misdemeanor for public disturbing the peace after I and my daughter got beat by no less than 6 men. I went to the Attorney as she read good on police abuse cases (I should have read all her reviews first) She came across as sincere and very religious. She led me to believe this will be tough, even though I thought otherwise and wanted $9500 for all the work through any trial. I trusted her and paid. In the mean time it was one way communication between myself to her. I investigated the Officer and sent documentation of his years of disservice as well as making up charges. His numerous civil complaints and even the MPD Standard Operating Procedure versus where in my case he never followed this violating my rights. No response. On a Zoom or in person meeting, it was not made clear to me, the DA decided not to pursue so it was dismissed. At best her office did $500 worth of work filing the original documents.
Now having paid $9500 for at best $500 worth of work you would think she would do another $500 of work at best to get it expunged??? NO!! Her workload was too large and recommended her friend at another $700 to do it???
One would think she has some morals or ethics and would refund some of the $9500 for doing $500 of work??? No!!! I requested both through her email portal and no response.
In addition before excepting the criminal case she was more curious on civil action where she could make bigger money. But when her other Attorney stated not a good case only then she did the criminal my guess knowing it was an easy case and easy money.
Moral of the story is do not use this Law Firm. Do not be fooled by the sincere, godly attitude. Do not pay an Attorney initially all in, pay in pieces. Most Attorneys work that way.
Why was I treated this way from this Firm? Probably greed, mixed with lack if morals, ethics??? Hard to tell because for $9500 I had little time to learn about this Attorney outside of a fraudulent tone and approach to how she works. STAY AWAY.

Ms. Williams took on our case when we were in dire need of someone to help us, with limited time on our side. Not only did she agree to help us at a reduced rate, but she also enlisted her broad network of contacts, including the regional head of the NAACP, in order to provide us with a fair outcome that we would never have achieved without her help! She saved us, and she did it with professionalism, courtesy, and a fierce protection for her clients.

Parker was retained for a routinue condo closing.
The paralegal copied the wiring instructions incorrectly onto the final documents. I caught the error when the documents were notarized.
It took five days for the money to transfer, and during that time, although I tried to contact Parker he did not return my calls or email me. He may be knowledgable. I really can't comment. But he runs a sloppy, careless office, and the paralegal I dealt with seemed more like a clerk. The contract involved was for more than a half million dollars, and I think most people would have sweated that five day delay as much as I did. Parker never even apologized. He's apparently involved in bigger projects, which is great for him, but it is really highly unprofessional to ignore small clients under such circumstances(half a million is small?), and I don't think he really earned his fee.

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.
