Zach is a phenomenal attorney. I can't recommend him enough! One of the most important decisions you can make is hiring the right lawyer and hiring Zach was by far one of the best decisions I ever made.
Before meeting Zach, I felt like I was lost in the legal system.The main quality I was looking for was someone who would be a voice and advocate for me which is exactly what I got with Zach and more.
After our first in-person meeting I remember leaving his office and feeling so relieved that I finally found someone who knew what they were doing, listened, and was going to work to get me the best outcome. If ever I had a question he responded promptly and was very honest and transparent throughout the whole process. I always felt confident in him and his work. I value his opinion without question and know that he’s looking out for his clients’ best interests at all times.
He fought for me when I really needed someone. He treated me like I was a person, who had value and significance. To have someone care that much is an outstanding quality. His passion and drive for what he does was incredibly evident from day one. He far exceeded my expectations and I am forever grateful for the work he’s done for me.
Zach is a very rare, exceptional lawyer with unbelievable talent. His clients’ best interest and doing what is right are truly top priorities. Looking back on all that I went through I just wish I had met Zach sooner. There are certain people you meet in your life who can make all the difference and Zach is one of those people. I can’t thank him enough for all his efforts. I promise you will not regret working with Zach.

Sean O Hara has no business in law, came off nice, seemingly, except he contradicted himself several times. Claiming he never heard from the company, but knew where they sent my w-2…Did nothing for nine months and when I gave him crucial information he tried to get money, completely unaware that I had another attorney related to this case. His terrible work caused me to go through their employees and that’s a no for me dog, all white men. Fired and replaced. Don’t waste your time, not my first rodeo, but apparently his. Mind you the case was easy, pictures, text messages and he blew it, lazy, lazy, lazy. Easily the most important client you’ll ever have too.

Aaron Ferri consulted with me on a matter, and his insight and professionalism is something I don’t experience everyday. He is proficient, thorough, incredibly articulate and responsive. He and his firm are reliably competent and highly successful. You should definitely consider them if you have labor issues and require representation. I’d give them more stars if there were more to give than five.

Working with Cannon was an exceptional experience from start to finish. He guided me through the process of applying for and successfully obtaining a trademark for my business. Trademarking can be a complex and time-consuming journey, requiring patience and attention to detail, and Cannon was thorough, professional, and supportive every step of the way.
Even when my application was initially sent back due to missing information, Cannon clearly explained what was needed and helped me navigate the next steps with confidence. He was always available to answer my questions, providing clarity and reassurance throughout the process.
Beyond his expertise, Cannon was an absolute pleasure to work with—his professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication made all the difference. I would absolutely work with him again and highly recommend The Kearney Law Group to anyone in need of legal guidance for their business.

Mina is a fantastic real estate lawyer that I highly recommend to anyone even thinking of buying a condo in NYC. She was very thorough, quick, and walked me through every step of the way. Buying a condo in NYC is pretty complicated compared to other places so having her guide me through was phenomenal. She dug into records and documents that helped us get all the key details and information on the building and property that made me feel confident on the purchase.

Just wanted to let everyone know that Konstantin Burshteyn is one of the greatest lawyers ever. He fought for me relentlessly and always was available even in some of my darkest times during my injury and recovery. His team at Wingate were always ready to help and available without delay. I don't think you would be able to find anyone better at representing you than this man. Don't waste your time with any other firm, these people know how to get outstanding results and life changing outcomes. His professionalism is second to none. As a former member of the operating engineers I would recommend any union member for his help when injured because of his extensive experience with labor laws and how our benefits are structured.

There are many reasons to choose GairGair to represent you- skilled staff, personal connections, and a likelihood of a good outcome. But in a sea of attorneys who over-promise and under deliver, GairGair does exactly the opposite. Litigation takes time, determination and patience; it's never easy- for any party to it, but these individuals are supportive and reassuring without ever making promises they can't keep. And in the end, their skill and determination- to get for you everything that can be achieved- wins out. Two other firms declined to take my case, citing falsely, procedural issues. GairGair simply knew better. A home run.
An unconditional recommendation for them!

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.

I have been using Dan as our company's attorney for almost six years now.

Since day one in working with Dan I have never received anything but exceptional and personal service that I could never find with another law firm. 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.

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.

It’s important to clarify the fee structure during your initial consultation to avoid unexpected costs.

Top Questions to Ask a Civil Rights Lawyer
Before hiring a civil rights lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they are the best fit for your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with civil rights cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it’s employment discrimination, police misconduct, or First Amendment violations. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer works on a contingency fee basis, hourly rate, or flat fee, and ask for an estimate of the total cost of your case. -
What is the likelihood of success for my case?
Ask the lawyer to provide an honest assessment of your case, including the strengths, weaknesses, and potential outcomes. -
Have you handled cases like mine before?
Inquire about the lawyer’s experience in cases with similar facts and legal issues. -
What is the timeline for resolving my case?
While exact timelines can vary, ask for an estimate of how long your case may take, from filing to resolution. -
Will you handle my case personally?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may work on parts of your case, so it’s important to know who will handle your legal matter directly.
How to Check the Credibility of a Civil Rights Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable civil rights lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Verify their state bar license: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for specific civil rights experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in civil rights law and have a history of handling cases like yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who can speak to their experience with civil rights cases.
- Check for advocacy or nonprofit work: Lawyers involved with civil rights organizations, such as the ACLU or NAACP Legal Defense Fund, may have a strong reputation in the civil rights legal community.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a civil rights lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- A detailed account of the violation: Provide a written summary of the events, including dates, times, and any people involved in the violation of your rights.
- Documentation and evidence: Bring any supporting documentation, such as emails, letters, photos, or video footage that may help prove the violation of your rights.
- Records of complaints or reports: If you’ve filed complaints with a government agency or reported the violation, bring copies of those documents.
- List of questions: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes of your case.
- Information on damages or harm: Be prepared to discuss the harm you’ve suffered due to the violation, such as emotional distress, financial loss, or physical injury.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your case more effectively and get the best possible legal advice on how to proceed.
