I had an urgent legal matter that needed immediate attention. Without any delay whatsoever, on the day of the issue arising, Russ was able to strategize on the correct actions providing multiple options, and we selected the optimal strategy moving forward in order to deal with the problem. The turnaround was astounding, impressive, and much needed.
The issue was resolved the same day, and the immediate connection and ability to speak directly greatly helped everything within the process.
Unlike other law firms that you have to work through an army of admin assistants, working with Russ was easy, fast, and I received expert-level resolution without any back and forth or time wasted.
I always prefer working directly with the experts due to efficiency and getting the right answers instead of wasting time or any miscommunication and Russ's law practice was able to to resolve my issue efficiently and exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Russ, for all your support and expertise!

I was terminated by my employer and I thought I had a case. I was either ignored or turned away because of "conflicts of interest." Russell came by way of a referral from a Labor Rights website and I am so grateful. He really looked into my case and listened to me. When Russ believes in something, he's passionate about it. I don't know anything about law and he made sure to explain each phase and had multiple courses of actions so I always knew all my options and was fully involved in each decision. At first, I was so worried. My employer had a team of legal professionals and a lot of money to pour into litigation and I definitely do not. Russ was a one man army and handled each interaction with tact and grace. In the end, we won the claim and I know it was all due to 2 things; the truth and Russ. I will continue to recommend anyone having any issues with current or former employers to Russ.
Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. Thank you for all your patience and mental fortitude!

Ms Aboushi was amazing! She worked hard for about 6 years on my son's case! Whatever she needed, I got and she would go straight to work. Even after the case was handled, she still gives advice when we need it and my kid is always on her mind! You get treated with so much respect and just knowing that someone is willing to go all out for you, especially when seeing justice! I would recommend her in a heart beat. It was always about what was best for my child, not for her. As long as we were happy, she would push through. I don't believe anyone would work harder than her. She took on my case after another firm had a hold on it for almost a year and did nothing. She on the other hand, took it and was off.

If you are an Internet based company, in the high tech sector, or need an attorney who understands the laws of technology, then Pepper Law Group is definitely your firm.

Insight Rocket is a small but growing software company. When we formed Insight Rocket I wanted to do better than the very general contract assistance I've received from attorneys in other businesses I've run. Dan's experience in the technology space has been an enormous benefit to us when negotiating with Fortune 500 companies. Even though we're much smaller, he manages to protect our interests without driving them away from working with us. Furthermore, I'm able to ask him what is reasonable and customary based on his experience with other technology companies and base our positions on his advice. He is even familiar with details such as those for our hosting provider (Amazon Web Services) and how they affect what we can promise in our contracts. I'm extremely happy with the work we've done together.

Well, let me start off by saying Mr Prestia is the best Lawyer I could have asked for, was recommended to him through a family member. As soon as I walked in for the consultation I knew he would be the perfect lawyer to take on my case. He knew and said from the beginning that it would be hard to prove my innocence knowing what they had against me but even with that information he told me he would fight till the end and that is exactly what he did. He did it all quickly too never had a single problem when going into the courtrooms and speaking with the DA he sorted everything out for me all I had to do was tell the DA what happened that day of the incident. We met with the DA once and that first time it didn't go so smoothly they were not going to give me a plea bargain, he told me to not worry and that he would speak with them to try to get me another meeting with them and he did that exactly, ended up speaking with them and ultimately we settled with a plea bargain. no criminal record only a violation. No lawyer I know would have tried to fight this that much and get me another meeting with the DA for a second time what was most likely going to happen was going to trial but Mr Prestia was set on not taking this to trial since it could go 50/50 in favor or not in favor of me. Thankfully in the end it all worked out and the charges were dropped after taking the plea bargain. No criminal record is what he wanted to achieve for me and that's exactly what we got. I really do recommend this lawyer to anyone who is in need of one, Mr Prestia is really understanding. If I ever need a lawyer in the future I'm definitely coming to him first.

Finding an attorney to fight for you the way you deserve to be fought for is not an easy feat. That was my first experience before meeting with Mr. Prestia, as a young black latino from the projects looking to get justice from the NYPD.
The task seemed impossible but the raw experience and passion Mr. Prestia has had for me and my case has put me in a place of gratitude, peace, and closure.
When hiring Paul, understand that you are getting someone who is relentless in seeking you relief and resources for whatever nightmare you’re going through. Paul would answer any question at any time of the day/night, and would always check in at some point to update me about my case or my thoughts on certain matters pertaining to my case.
He also took out the necessary time to reach out to journalists, in which he was able to tell my story to the world and get the right attention to my case so the right people can support me.
Due to this, we were able stay on the same page throughout my case and get the results needed to truly say I was able to get a form of justice that has helped me move past some of my traumatic experiences and look forward to my life.
Three years after hiring Mr. Prestia, I am more than grateful for all he was able to do for me and my life and I am more than certain he will and can do the same for you!

Abe George came highly recommended by a plethora of friends and colleagues in the community. Mr. George was always available to answer my many questions and various concerns, at times on weekends or past the typical business hours of an ordinary law firm. He always put my concerns to rest by giving me the time out of his day to make sure no question of mine went unanswered. Mr. George has helped my family and several friends of mine over the past few years with various legal issues that have arisen. He is more than qualified as a professional attorney across the board to handle any problem put in front of him in a tactful, exemplary manner.

Abe George helped my family with a civil rights law suit. His utmost dedication and commitment to our case was unmatched to anything I have ever seen or heard about. He covered every base and answered every what if that ever existed in my mind. I could not have dreamed of hiring better counsel to do the job Mr. George did. The amount of money he received for my family from the City was more than we ever expected. I would highly recommend Mr. George.

Matt quickly and efficiently advised me in a time-sensitive manner on a non-compete and its interplay with a severance agreement as I was about to transition to a new company. He explained the different parts and how they affected my options going forward, and offered several paths that I could pursue. I was senior enough in the company to have restrictions on where I could go as there were questions about how the two companies competed in the same general segment. His letters were organized and easy to understand, handled the facts of the matter, advised on New York law, and most importantly were very practical in how to engage both employers. I was referred to Matt by a family member and would recommend anyone in the NY area needing advice on a non-compete or severance agreement to check with him.

I am a professional musician and it was brought to my attention by a family member that someone was using an image that was copyrighted by the LLC that my band has established. We promptly contacted Mr. Thompson in regards to this matter. He acted swiftly and decisively and remedied the situation to our mutual satisfaction. The image in question was removed from the webstore that hosted the copyrighted picture and the perpetrators were cautioned to act more appropriately in the future. In the years since Mr. Thompson has proved himself to be a most trusted source of legal advice and expertise and has proven indispensable in the running of my small business.

Ben has been an invaluable resource in helping me craft my organization's cannabis and hemp policy strategy. He is thorough, thoughtful, and extremely knowledgeable of the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape. Additionally, he is well connected to the regulators and legislators who are crucial to the cannabis policy reform movement, and was instrumental in securing us face-to-face meetings with high-level, decision-making officials. From my personal experience, Ben's background as an educator has made an advantageous impact on his counseling style-- patiently fleshing out various legal/policy issues; translating complex legalese into plain English; and making sure that I'd grasp and understand very nuanced concepts, much like a teacher to a student--far more empowering than someone providing mere legal advice. This sets his practice apart from many other so-called cannabis law "experts" out there, and is the reason why Ben is my go-to cannabis counsel.

a sense of calm during a very tumultuous time. Ben's fair and compassionate way in which he carried out his work told me that he was like this all the time. If I formed my own company, I'd hire Ben in a second." Ben is one of those rare people that we all could learn from.

Perhaps not the most common words used to describe many attorneys, but they do encapsulate my experience working with Ben Rajotte. Ben worked for an organization that my company provided services for, and I was always impressed with his sense of calm during a very tumultuous time, and the fair and compassionate way in which he carried out his work. Occasionally throughout my career I've thought to myself "if I formed my own company, I'd hire this person in a second." Ben is one of those rare people.

Mr. Ferrara: If you are reading this review, I want to tell you that you deserve many blessings. Though I already thanked you on the phone yesterday (Dec.4, 2013), allow me to thank you again for the time you took to speak to me, and advise me on the situation that I was facing. You didn’t rush me even a bit. Just to remind you that I am a landlord with a 2-family house in Brooklyn. I think it was a good 30 minutes that you spent on the phone with me. I have so much respect for you. You are patient, pleasant, knowledgeable, professional and honest. I think one other reviewer mentioned that you are candid. I agree.

Amy Jane represented me on an estate matter. I found her to be well-informed as to the law, And hard-working and diligent. For example, instead of filing papers by using a lawyer service, she would personally go down to the Surrogate's Court and interface with the staff. This helped matters immeasurably. Her fees are reasonable, and she is one of those rare lawyers who truly loves what she is doing.

Eric Dranoff is a "lawyer's lawyer." Having opposed him in a complex federal case I instantly gained respect for him on both a personal and professional level. He was a zealous advocate for his client, but he always remained a true professional in his dealings with me and all of the other lawyers--this is something that I have found becoming more rare after 30 years of practice. Eric sets the bar at its highest level and meets it on a daily basis. He is a shining example of all that is good about our profession.

I have worked with Eric as co-counsel and I have referred clients to him. I have known Eric for over 30 years and know him to be responsive and responsible. He is very intelligent and understands the importance of advocating for the people he represents. He also is quick to identify core issues in a legal situation and is able to deal with the situation at hand in an efficient way. He is my first call when I need co-counsel in NYC.

I hired Ms. Tina Monshipour Foster to provide legal assistance in obtaining interpretive ruling from OFAC. She kept me abreast of every step of the process, provided advice and counsel regarding the content of application to OFAC, was very professional and courteous and provided an expeditious service that resulted in a quick, favorable response from OFAC. Ms. Foster's legal fees were also comparable to other lawyers of her caliber. She provided me with detailed bills related to her service. I have already recommended her to others in my circle who may need legal assistance.

To make a long story short, a collaboration with a company to fabricate our design went sour. The collaboration ceased with said company, and our concern as Designers was the protection and confidentiality of our design concept and intellectual property. We contacted Ms. Foster regarding our concerns and inquiring what we could do to protect ourselves. Ms. Foster was extremely punctual in replying back to us. She thoughtfully and confidently guided us on our complex situation, demonstrating her high degree of expertise and knowledge. We are more than happy to recommend her services.

Dan McGuinness was assigned to me by criminal court in NYC for my DV case. Dan took his time to explain my charges since it was my first time being charged by a DA. He was patient and answered every questions I asked. He was easy to reach, he always got back to me via text/phone calls. I would recommend Dan to represent you. Great knowledge in law. Thank you!

I would like to highly recommend the law firm of Permutter & McGuinness. Dan & Adam recently dismissed my DWI without even going to a trial. It took some time and I was getting anxious, but they told me to keep my cool and allow them to do their job, and did get the job done.
If you have DWI in New York, do not hesitate to retain this firm, as they are probably the best that I ever heard of.
I never heard of any firm dismissing a DWI without a trial, I think God send them to me.

I came to know James Moschella quite well over the past few years. Mostly due to my propensity for being a man-child who didn't know any better and found himself in quite a bit of trouble on multiple occasions.
I was facing 2 felony counts and 1 misdemeanor. Even though I was a first time offender the District Attorney would not offer me a plea. Jim always stuck by my defense and not once did he encourage me to take the plea. Even if losing meant doing some time.
Jim was always up front that the likely hood of a full acquittal is very rare and made sure I knew the maximum sentence.
We went to trial and as hard as the DA tried to add charges and introduce different case law Jim was on point and always ready to rebut the prosecution. Jim is a fierce litigator and was well prepped with case law for everything that came our way.
Jim knows the law, is familiar with case law, and knows your rights. I knew I was in trouble and needed the best. So I hired him. Jim is professional and solid.
When your only option is to go the distance and have a criminal trial James Moschella is the man you want representing you.
Thanks Jim for getting that monkey off my back.

When my brother was falsely accused of forgery for gain, Mr. Moschella took on his case.
Mr. Moschella met with my brother nights and weekends to learn every aspect of his job.
Because of his attention to detail he was able to get my brother acquitted of all charges.
Our family owes Mr. Moschella a debt of gratitude for all he has done.

Jim Moschella is hands down the best attorney. I have dealt with several lawyers in the past and 98% cared less about the case and more about the fee. From the moment I walked into his office he thoroughly examined my case. His honesty and professionalism is beyond compare. He always took time to patiently explain all aspects of the case. He was also readily available whenever I had a concern or needed a questioned answered. He is not only very knowledgeable, but has a genuine interest for his clients which provided personal comfort during very stressful, emotional and difficult times. I took my case to trial & was very impressed with how Mr. Moschella handled the case; he took the time to explain everything to me from start to finish!!! Even though I was acquitted of all charges my preference of a lawyer would have not changed if the out come would have been different. Jim Moschella is by far the best lawyer I could ever have represented me. I highly recommend him and his law firm.
GREATEST LAWYER I'VE COME INTO CONTACT WITH EVER!!!!!! HE IS PROFESSIONAL & EXCELLENT AT WHAT HE DOES!!!!!!
THANK YOU JIM……

From the moment I became a client of Nussin S. Fogel I felt as if I had a personal attorney 24/7 at my convenience. Questions, concerns and issues were always forthrightly answered and addressed with patience, sincerity and caring. In every step of the legal process regarding my case-automobile negligence-Mr. Fogel availed himself and applied his legal expertise and experience on my behalf. Further, his legal assistant, Stephanie, reflected Mr. Fogel's attributes of genuine empathy and professionalism. Fortunate are the clients, both personally and legally of Nussin S.

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.
