My family and I hired Marcel as our attorney for a case involving the wrongful death of my mother back in 2020. As a 21 year old kid have never dealt with anything like this before; I can tell you it was very stressful, and I didn’t know how I was going to do it! Marcel was the best attorney to have supporting us throughout the last four years! Anytime I would call or text I don’t think I ever had to wait 5 minutes for a text back, and I don’t think I ever got his voicemail when calling. He made sure to keep me in the loop with everything he did and/or filed in the courts, he went the extra lengths to get information he needs, he made chapter books of notes to present to judges . It was something so amazing to see someone who wasn’t family fight so hard for us. Yes it’s his job I get that part but it was deeper than that and I could feel it with Marcel. Me and my family are satisfied with the work him and his assistant did for us, and I would recommend Marcel for any of your legal needs! GREAT PERSON & LAWYER

I want to share an open letter with potential clients of Criminal Defense Attorney Marcel Benavides. My experience with Marcel Benavides has been a perfect example of jurisprudence. He has the skill, talent, passion, and care of a criminal defense attorney who genuinely seeks justice for his clients. It was a tremendous relief when Marcel adeptly navigated through bias and misinformation, along with media assaults, to aid my youngest child, who was ensnared in the criminal justice system. At the outset of my son's case, Marcel assured us that he would strive for the best possible outcome, even though the situation seemed bleak, and a conviction would likely result in jail time. For nearly two years, Marcel meticulously dismantled the prosecution's case and worked with masterful precision, ultimately achieving the best possible results for my son. The case was incredibly complex, but my son received no jail term or long-term probation thanks to Marcel's work. The challenging experience has reignited my belief in the American justice system. I am immensely thankful to Attorney Benavides for his exceptional competence and unwavering professionalism, and I will always be deeply grateful to him.

I had a case from many years ago that I never took care of as I am from out of state. I contacted Scott to help me with the process while still being out of state. Scott was patient, kind, and answered all of my many questions to help me get through the process as much as possible. It was a very scary experience to go through but Scott reassured me that he would take care of everything and he did. I felt that we were in good hands and I trusted him, which is surprising since I don't trust anyone. Thank you Scott for the help we really appreciate all you did for us.

I hired attorney Koenig on a criminal matter. She sat me down and explained my statutory crime, the criminal process I was facing, along with potential options to explore. Attorney Koenig guided me through the system and the fear I first faced, vanished, because I just knew I was in excellent and professional hands. Needless to say, I was given the best possible outcome and the fee was unbelievable. I referred attorney Koenig to a friend of mine on a non-criminal matter and she was very satisfied with her case as well. I would recommend attorney Koenig to anyone and everyone.

I would recommend her highly and she also did it for me. She also did it for me pro bono but I also know her rates r very reasonable and I would have hired her even if it wasn’t pro bono. I will definitely purely keep her number in the event I need a lawyer again. She even let me bring my dog to the office which is an added plus! Not many lawyers will do that

A previous employer stated I was a no call no show. The reality is that I was laid off during covid. After several appeals on my own to no avail and a missed hearing, I was referred to Cristine. The state wanted several tens of thousand of dollars in back payment. It was a truly terrifying situation to be in, with Cristine's help the judge decided he would hear my case. Ultimately the ruling was in my favor and could not be happier with the outcome. Definitely would recommend her to anyone with any issues regarding unemployment. Very knowledgeable and helpful, I am very grateful for her service!

From the very beginning Matthew Clark made me comfortable with the unfortunate situation I was in and I knew I was in good hands. I have never been through a legal situation before and didn't know what to expect but Matt explained everything to me every step of the way. He was so kind and honest and respectful during a difficult time. He put in a lot of work into my case and paid attention to every detail and often times he would email me back after hours or take phone calls late and that shows that he cared about my peace of mind. The whole team was professional and thorough as well. I would recommend this law firm to everyone because we would not have had the outcome we did if it weren't for them. If you want to be represented by someone that treats you as good as a family member would, then Matthew Clark is who you should hire.

I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Matthew Clark, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From our very first consultation, it was clear that he possessed an exceptional level of expertise and dedication to his clients. Matthew’s professionalism and thorough understanding of the law were evident as he navigated my case with precision and care. He took the time to explain every step of the process, ensuring I felt informed and confident throughout. His ability to break down complex legal jargon into understandable terms was immensely helpful. What truly sets Matt apart is his unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. He approached my case with a strategic mindset, demonstrating a keen eye for detail and a proactive approach. His responsiveness and availability were also commendable; I never felt like just another client but rather a priority. In addition to his legal acumen, Matthew’s compassion and genuine concern for my well-being were palpable. He consistently provided not just legal support, but also reassurance and empathy during a stressful time. Thanks to Matt, I felt supported and confident throughout the legal process, and I am extremely pleased with the outcome he achieved for me. If you are in need of a highly skilled, dedicated, and compassionate attorney, look no further than Matthew Clark. He is truly a standout professional in his field.

While walking my dog in my neighborhood one Sunday morning, a dog launched himself through a screened window that had a hole in it. The german shepherd grabbed my arm and mauled me severely while dragging me into the driveway next to the house. After emergency surgery to repair the damage from a compound fracture (including plates and screws) and a stay in the hospital, I began the search for an attorney to guide me through the legal process of addressing the incident. Because of a previous auto accident when I was represented by Barry Lakritz, and because of the level of trust I had in him and his team, I reached out to his office to see if this would be something they could help me with. Once they saw the pictures of my arm prior to surgery, they immediately agreed to handle my grievance against the homeowner. I understood how the process worked and that it might take some amount of time to gather evidence and process it through whatever necessary systems (i.e., insurance claim, court, etc). But, Lakritz Law took the time to keep in touch with me and explain exactly what was happening. They even came to the courthouse to view my personal petition regarding the disposition of the animal that attacked me (something they do not legally handle). Lakritz Law worked quickly and professionally to address all my concerns. Their entire staff was extremely knowledgeable and responsive – with special gratitude to Erika for all her time and attention to the details. They have many years of experience working on cases such as this, and have my highest respect. They are the only team I would consider to represent me again, if needed. Thank you, Lakritz Law.

A couple of years ago, I found myself in a difficult employment-related situation, and needed legal advice. Knowing how important it was to have someone very competent, responsive, and personable, I started doing my homework. I researched the Internet, called and talked with tens of law firms and attorneys, read hundreds of reviews, and asked my network of friends and colleagues for referrals. At the end of this thorough search, I selected Mr. Robert L. Levi. During the approximately 18 months of collaboration that followed, I never regretted my choice. In my opinion, Robert has the experience (over 30 years of work in the legal field), legal knowledge, and skills to help you with your case related to employment, labor relations, civil rights, or employee benefits. He also provides the personal attention to set your mind at ease and relieve (at the extent possible), the emotional, intellectual, and financial stress of legal work placed on your personal and professional life. Deciding to sue someone is a scary thing. Mr. Levi helped me determine if taking legal action was appropriate for me; evaluated (and re-evaluated) the possible length and implications of the case; was very fair in the payment arrangement up front (no “surprises”); kept me informed right away of new developments; consulted with me on a regular basis; and answered my questions fully, every time I asked. He was realistic, truthful, diligent and ethical throughout the process. During our collaboration on my case, he would send me regular updates, along with legal briefs of similar cases and respective rulings – in the eventuality I was interested to read (which I was, because it gave me context for my situation). When it was time to settle, we worked closely together to develop a strategy and accurately assess the compensation to which I was entitled. Mr. Levi was compassionate, highly responsive, courteous, and kept his cool during some stressful interactions – all while subjecting our opponents to the full force his legal prowess. What I liked the most about our collaboration, however, is that he treated me and my husband like family. Robert worked with me directly, rather than assigning parts of my case to less experienced or prepared collaborators. This assured stability and constant expertise for my case, in addition to giving me peace of mind that my legal misfortunes are in very good hands. But since success is often defined by outcomes, I am happy to state that optimal results were achieved in my situation, proving Robert Levi is accountable, as well. For all these, I highly recommend Mr. Robert L. Levi.

He is highly professional and informative from the beginning to the end. He is always well prepared for the case. After research and investigation, he changed the impossible to possible-- I got a very good result. I am very impressed with Mr. Levi's work. I definitely recommend him to anyone.

The preparation and subsequent approval of my EB2-NIW I-140 application through Chen Immigration Lawyers was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Attorney Elliot C. and the rest of the team demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and expertise throughout the entire process. The case management system was highly efficient and user-friendly, making it easy to organize the subject material. Elliot C. and the rest of the team successfully drafted compelling recommendation letters and the petition letter ensuring attention to detail in complex technical aspects of my research while keeping the language comprehensible to a non-expert. The communication with the team was seamless and prompt. Whenever I needed clarification on a step, the team took time to patiently explain steps in detail guiding me through them each time. I would highly recommend Chen Immigration Lawyers, especially Elliot C. and his team to anyone seeking professional and reliable assistance with their immigration needs. Their commitment to the client truly sets them apart.

Extremely unprofessional! They will argue with you more than they argue to save you in court. Full of excuses and not willing to fulfill their end of the deal. You are better off going with a court appointed because with these guys you will end up with a court appointed in the end any way!.. Good luck to anyone that has chosen such poor representation!!! 😕

Judge Deborah Ford is an amazing person who really cares about her job and clients. She went above and beyond to help me with my case. She’s very nice, thoughtful, and one of the most beautiful people that you could ever meet from the outside and inside. She’s very understanding and she truly cares about winning the case and defending you. She has been working in the court room most of her life, and her mom was a former judge as well so she grew up discussing laws on daily basis. Hands down she’s the best attorney anyone could ever ask like she really knows what she’s doing and she is a very trustworthy person. I wish I can give her a 100 stars not only 5 stars because this woman truly deserves a statue built for her!❤️

After contesting an unemployment accusation since the pandemic and being unjustly accused of dishonesty and ill intent, I can finally say my battle has come to an end. I was exhausted, broken, and ready to give up. But this attorney had the strength, skill, knowledge, and fortitude that I lacked. Because of her dedication, my family is now secure and whole. I can only hope that anyone who is underserved or vulnerable has the privilege of being supported by someone like Attorney Wasserman and her staff (Raelyn). She emulates integrity and is truly a champion among advocates.

I hired Paul Stabelin and he saved my life. And I’m not saying this lightly - If it were not for this man, I would have lost everything, including my freedom and even ability to write this review. After hiring another lawyer, I was beginning to feel overwhelmed and certainly was not confident in their ability to defend me. However, Paul came highly recommended, and I’m SO GLAD I made the switch. What stood out from the beginning was how much time he took on our first call. He walked me through everything I might face, explaining each step in clear terms and giving me confidence in the process. Paul’s previous experience was definitely a major plus and key factor in my hiring of him. It’s important that your defense ( whoever you do decide, regardless of the lawyer ) is well versed in their area of practice. I could trust that he knew what he was doing, and he more than delivered. The entire experience was effortless on my end – I never had to go to court, make a phone call, or negotiate a thing. I walked absolutely free. No strings attached. Paul managed everything flawlessly, and the outcome exceeded my expectations. If you want an attorney who truly has your back and is reliable, look no further than Paul. I’d hire him again without a second thought, and you should too. Thanks again Paul, I’m forever grateful for you and your services!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Although it was only a consult, I plan to move forward and hire him for anything regarding family law. Mr Goldman, the head attorney of the firm I inquired with who referred me to Mike, called me after hours because of the urgency of the situation and gave amazing advice.

I have had the best of intentions to share the great experience I had dealing with Mr Swor and his team. After being aquitted, it has taken time to try and get my life back to what it used to be. That being said, as I continue to get back on my feet, I will forever be greatful. I retained Mr Willam Swor as my attorney in September 2014. On my way back home to Canada from a routine buisness trip, I was accused of smuggling cocain into America. This accusation if convicted, carried a minimum mandatory sentence of 10 years. Needless to say this was the start of a 6 month nightmare that I would never have imagined and had the possibility of becoming a 10 year nightmare if convicted.  Mr.  Swor and his dedicated and brilliant legal team did everything within  their power, scouring the globe to find  evidence to connfirm my innocence.   During the whole legal process,  Mr Swor displayed empathy  through his actions  providing assurance, continuous communication  and support to my wife, two  young sons , extended family and friends.    In March of 2015, I was aquitted of all charges . I was able to go back home and be with my family.  Mr Swor and his team believed in me and helped me prove my innocence.  Thank you

I decided to visit family in a city nearby Detroit. When driving to their home, a police officer pulled me over claiming that she believed I was under the influence. I let her search my car and cooperated with her by conducting a field sobriety exam. To make a long story short, a crumb of marijuana, 5/100th of a gram was found in my car and I was arrested for OWI and Possession of Marijuana. I called Attorney William Swor, as soon as I got out of jail the next morning and he was very helpful on explaining and comforting me on the situation. Right before my pre-trial came up, Mr. Swor and I received a letter stating I violated Bond as well. So upon entering the courtroom, I had three charges making me unbelievable anxious. But after going to court, I had the OWI and my Bond Violation dismissed thanks to Mr. Swor. For the marijuana charge, I am currently on a drug/alcohol testing program, in which if I pass all the tests, the charge will be dismissed as well. Throughout the case, I was extremely nervous and anxious because I have never been arrested before, yet alone for what I believe was a ridiculous charge; 5/100th of a gram of marijuana. Yet, this attorney was there for me when I needed him, treated me as if I was family, and most importantly fought to get my charges dismissed. Overall, he is a very pleasant attorney and would recommend him to anyone that is facing a criminal charge.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Have you handled cases like mine before?
    Inquire about the lawyer’s experience in cases with similar facts and legal issues.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
