Working with Steven P. Monaghan and his team was an absolute privilege. From the moment I walked through their doors, I knew I was in the hands of true professionals who genuinely cared about my case and my well-being.
Steve is not just an exceptional attorney—he’s a dedicated advocate who brings wisdom, integrity, and an incredible depth of knowledge to everything he does. His ability to break down complex legal matters and present them with clarity gave me confidence every step of the way. More than that, he took the time to listen, understand my concerns, and craft a strategy tailored to my specific needs.
His team is just as outstanding. Every interaction I had—whether with his paralegals, assistants, or other members of his firm—was met with kindness, professionalism, and a level of responsiveness that made me feel truly supported. They worked seamlessly together, ensuring every detail was handled efficiently and thoroughly.
Steve Monaghan and his team don’t just provide legal services—they provide peace of mind. Their dedication, expertise, and genuine compassion set them apart, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. I honestly can’t thank you enough for!

Although Mr. Shapiro wasn't able to help me with my current situation (wouldn't make sense to appeal my case) I Was glad I went and had the consult with him. Mr. Shapiro is an experienced attorney and took his time to explain the pros and cons of pursuing my particular case and if any situation arises in the future, I will definitely go talk to Mr. Shapiro again.
P.S Mr. Shapiro called me back within 1hr of me leaving a message for him while he was on vacation.

Scott Telson was rude and dismissive. Does not care if you have a disability, and it seems that he will treat you worse because of it, based on my personal experience.
The lack of patience and empathy I experienced was truly appalling and it makes sense as to why his license was previously suspended.
He does not need to be rude to be a lawyer.

In the aftermath of a near-fatal accident in 2022, I found myself embarking on a challenging recovery journey. Amidst the uncertainty and emotional turmoil, I sought legal guidance and found solace in the expertise of Michael R. Lombardi, of Lombardi & Lombardi, P.A.
From the moment I entered his office, I was met with a comforting blend of warmth and professionalism. Michael’s attentive ear and compassionate demeanor immediately put me at ease as he delved into the intricacies of my case. What struck me most was his ability to navigate not only the legal intricacies but also the delicate nuances of my emotional state.
As I journeyed through months of treatment and recovery, Michael stood as a steadfast pillar of support, offering guidance and reassurance every step of the way. His swift action and unwavering dedication alleviated much of the stress and uncertainty that accompanied my personal injury lawsuit. With each interaction, he imparted invaluable insights into the legal process of these types of cases, empowering me to make informed decisions for both the present, and the future.
Throughout it all, Michael’s professionalism never wavered. Despite the emotional toll of the journey, he remained composed and punctual, demonstrating a deep understanding of the complexities of my case. More than just a legal representative, he became a trusted confidant and ally, offering support and guidance when I needed it most.
In retrospect, my experience working with Michael R. Lombardi was nothing short of exceptional. His expertise, empathy, and unwavering support were instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome for my case. He promised, and over delivered. I am deeply grateful for his dedication and professionalism, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking legal representation.

My experience with Julie Burick, a divorce and family law attorney at Adinolfi, Lieberman, Burick, Roberto & Molotsky, P.A., was nothing short of outstanding. Ms. Burick is an excellent attorney who is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Certified Matrimonial Law Attorney, which means; she has been recognized as an expert in divorce and family law matters. Ms. Burick took over my year-and –half case with the utmost professionalism and care. Ms. Burick fought tirelessly for my case, and especially my children. Ms. Burick took the time to explain all the documents and was very patient with my numerous questions. It was an emotionally exhausting case with too many complexities involved, but her strategic thinking, proactive approach and bold advocacy helped me, and my children, achieve a favorable outcome. Ms. Burick did not have to resort to name calling or the blame game; instead, she focused the case on the facts and the law. Ms. Burick is respectful to opposing counsels but can be feisty if needed. In addition, the paralegal staff was also courteous and prompt with their responses - which made the stressful process much more bearable. I am profoundly grateful for Ms. Burick’s exceptional services and results. I highly recommend Julie Burick and Adinolfi, Lieberman, Burick, Roberti, & Molotsky, P.A. to anyone seeking top-notch legal representation in divorce and family law.

When you get into a situation where someone someone takes legal action against you, it's a nerve racking experience. For me, living half way across the country, it was especially challenging. I knew nothing about New Jersey law and I looked at and spoke to a lot of attorneys and when all was said and done, I hired Mr. Fortunato. I am not necessarily the most patient person and I was quite nervous and upset about what was happening. I had all these things I wanted to do and say and since I was out of state, I was never able to meet him in person before we were in court, but when I did, I knew I had made the right choice. Watching him in court was like watching a composer produce a new masterpiece. He knows the law. He knows what to do. He has a calm presence. I made the right choice. I am extremely grateful for the help and time Mr. Fortunato gave me as he protected me and won my case. I would highly recommend him if you are in need of an attorney.

In my first consultation with Joseph, I almost thought it was too good to be true. He was calm, straightforward but confident and at no point did I ever get the feeling he was blowing smoke up my you-know-what. He was on top of my case every step of the way and the outcome was better than anything I could've ever hoped for. It's not just hindsight bias, this is a trustworthy and skilled attorney and I would hire him again in an instant.

Mr. Fortunato is utterly untrustworthy and fails to fulfill even the most basic duties as a lawyer. Once you pay him the retainer, he will simply abandon your case. I hired him to send a response letter to the opposing party to establish legal representation, but after three months, he had done absolutely nothing. When I followed up, he didn't even remember who I was. He took no action and completely cut off communication regarding the retainer. He may have the title of lawyer, but in my experience, he is nothing short of a thief. I strongly advise against hiring him for any legal matters.

Our experience with this firm was wonderful! Kasey is an amazing, dedicated lawyer and went above and beyond for us. She always took the time to explain everything, kept in constant contact, made calls for us, and kept on top of everything. She and Alexandra, her paralegal, were always extremely prepared and organized, made sure we were informed every step of the way, communicated with all involved parties, and reached a result that we were thrilled with at the end. They both were trustworthy, professional, and kind. Everyone else at the office was also very thoughtful. We would definitely recommend them to our friends, family, and anyone else needing help!

Dealing with Robert in the entire staff over at the firm has been the best experience I’ve had.

I am writing this review to express my deepest gratitude to Attorney Brian P. Budic of Florio Perrucci Steinhardt Cappelli & Tipton, LLC, for his outstanding legal representation in my sister’s divorce case. My sister was a victim of domestic abuse and was taken advantage of by her husband for U.S. citizenship. She endured unimaginable hardships, but thanks to Mr. Budic’s tireless efforts, she was able to secure justice and reclaim her life.
From the very beginning, Mr. Budic worked around the clock, leaving no stone unturned to ensure that my sister received the protection and legal recourse she deserved. His dedication went far beyond the typical attorney-client relationship—he was compassionate, supportive, and deeply invested in fighting for my sister’s rights. He handled the complexities of the case with precision, using his vast experience in family law to build a strong legal strategy against her abusive husband.
Despite the challenges of the case, Mr. Budic never wavered. He spent countless hours gathering evidence, preparing arguments, and advocating aggressively in court. His deep understanding of family law, combined with his genuine concern for my sister’s well-being, made all the difference. Because of his hard work and determination, my sister was not only granted a divorce but also received the justice she so desperately needed.
Beyond his legal expertise, Mr. Budic is a truly remarkable human being. His dedication to helping victims of domestic abuse speaks volumes about his character. He is not just an exceptional attorney but also a dear friend who stood by our side when we needed it most.
I wholeheartedly recommend Brian P. Budic to anyone in need of a compassionate, knowledgeable, and relentless family law attorney. He is a beacon of hope for those seeking justice, and we will forever be grateful for everything he has done for our family.

I do not recommend this firm. As seniors, we needed a will - a simple will. We went to T. Dengler who, as an estate lawyer, was trusted to advise us properly. A few simple questions turned into a Trust that we did not understand nor did we ask for and we told him so. He gave us a brief explanation and we told him we still didn't understand - he encouraged us to sign. Also, although we were quoted a price for this will, the Trust fees were never discussed or mentioned. Asking him how much he replied he had to "figure it out". We were distressed and sleepless worrying how much this would cost. I will state that this was settled after our complaint but now we have to start over and this has left us to distrust lawyers, Do your homework, you can get more info from Google.

I had several offers fron T14 schools in the meantime that gave me an offer of admission right away!! But, I was truly curious how low the admission people be in this place and when they finally come to send a reply. Well my suggestion, don't waste your time with this place!!

My wife and I ask over and over again if they need us to help to push things along just to be ignored in the email thread. No one is communicating or giving us answers into why and when the actual closing will be (yes still in the process of dealing with these people) we are 1st time sellers and I would not suggest these lawyers .

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.
