I had an exceptional experience with the lawyers at NYIS Law Firm. They were incredibly professional, patient, and attentive, carefully listening to my requests and addressing all my concerns. Their responsiveness was remarkable, always providing timely updates. Thanks to their expert guidance, my visa status change was approved just one day after submission. Highly recommended!

They are professional, just focus on their job. No dishonest advertising or behaviors. After using different lawyers for my families in the past years, NYIS is the most reliable and honest lawyer, not like some lawyers who just want to make money from you and tell you all good things.

The selection of Mr. Morgan as an attorney was a wonderful choice! Throughout the course of our interactions, it was abundantly clear that he possessed an extensive legal experience and an unambiguous comprehension of the law. In the event that I had any questions, he promptly responded with explanations that I was able to comprehend without much difficulty. As someone who is dealing with commercial difficulties or who requires services relating to trust litigation, I would strongly suggest Mr. Morgan to anyone who is in need of such services.

I had the pleasure of working with Rusell Morgan at Morgan Legal Group to set up my family's estate plan, including wills and trusts. Rusell’s professionalism and attention to detail made the process stress-free and straightforward. He explained complex legal concepts in a way I could easily understand and tailored everything to meet my needs. I feel so much more secure about the future now. If you’re looking for estate planning services in NYC, Rusell is the attorney to trust!

Because Mr. Morgan possessed an outstanding degree of understanding, we were able to establish guardianship for our kid. This was made possible with his guidance. In spite of the fact that the process was already difficult to comprehend, he made it simple for us.
I have no doubt that I would make use of his services once more, and I would also strongly recommend him to other people.

Mr.Bartlett is a man of the upmost integrity. Not only is he an excellent role model but his sound advice and compassion helped me keep my head on my shoulders in one of my most perilous moments. With his vast experience and sound judgement he was able to help me navigate what could’ve been a very detrimental situation at a very vulnerable time in my life. Mr. Bartlett advocated and fought for me like I was a member of the family and he was able to get my case dismissed with all the charges dropped. I’m indebted to this man and if you need someone who will fight for you advocate for you and help you navigate a perilous legal situation Mr. Bartlett is the one you should call!

I decided to hire Mr. Bartlett for my DWI case after he was referred to me by multiple people as I searched for an attorney. I am so happy I did. He was always reachable and got back to me within minutes. First, we had a DMV refusal hearing with the DMV court which he was remarkably able to get dismissed !!!! This was huge for me because no matter the outcome of the DWI case my license would’ve been suspended for a year. Next after months of going back and forth and the prosecution not offering me a favorable deal we decided to go to trial. During the trial, Mr. Bartlett was outstanding and got the CASE DISMISSED !!! I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome and lawyer. I highly recommend Mr. Bartlett.

If NYC chose this woman to be a judge... I thought, gee, I could choose her to be a lawyer. And there are no regrets. Easy going, intelligent, she's a NY City gal, I'm a little upstate, and she went out of her way to meet up when it was important. They don't make them like that, she's a role model in my book.

Accessibility being one of the keys to a good Estate Attorney, Bracha excels in this regard. Communication is another great need personal representatives have of their estate attorney, another Bracha strength.
As many Executors flounder over the overwelming tasks of estate settlement, a focus on moving an estate forward is the mark of a good estate attorney.
That's Bracha Law.

I have had the privilege of getting to know Bracha and her work and have been quite impressed. Her personable approach and style helps her clients feel comfortable and understood through a difficult process, and makes sure she helps them address even the questions they didn’t know they needed to ask. The straightforward advice and guidance she gave me about handling some of the more challenging planning aspects, like choosing healthcare and power-of-attorney agents, gave me the ability to arrive at the right decision in my own time. If you are seeing a trusts and estates attorney who can understand you and your needs and make sure your planning gets done right, I recommend Bracha.

I want to express my eternal gratitude to Andrew Stoll. His efforts and dedication for my father and his case were that of a warrior and a friend. It was a long and upsetting process but Andrew kept us involved and updated through every step of this scary legal process. His intuition, experience and knowledge made it easy to prove my father’s innocence and cleared his name. Andrew advocated hard against the opposition. His Integrity and dedication is most admirable! My family is eternally grateful for his help during such a crucial time of our lives.
Just keep calm and call Andrew Stoll

I called to ask about my case for a defamatory review that we received on our business page. I can't be more happy that Deborah was the one that picked up my phone call, since the very beginning I could tell that she loves what she does cause in her tone of voice you can tell that she's willing to help everyone from the heart. After a conversation of 40 minutes I dont gonna keep looking for more Law Firms instead of doing that. I'll call back to Deborah and that's why I've saved the phone number that I used to call. Thank you very much again for your help Deborah.

I've been going through a legal discrimination matter with an employer and while every lawyer shunned me away, Mr. Bryant took it upon himself to give me advice, guidance, words of encouragement throughout my case and no expectation in return.
Unfortunately, I didn't retain him but I'm sure if you ever need his services; He'd be a great ally to have on your side and fight for your rights.
Mr.Bryant is very knowledgeable to concerning matters and legalities. As well as very polite and bears warm demeanor who actually listens to what you say.
Takes in the all the details to fully understand the situation and without him, I personally would've been lost in my case.

Ross Kofman responded to my online request for a criminal defense lawyer first and gave me immediate relief when I explained my situation to him. He told me most of the charges were bogus and would easily be dropped. Fortunately after 3 months of being in limbo, going to court dates once a month merely to hear the judge say, I see you've been making your check in appointments, good, come back next month, the case never went to trial and I was informed today that the charges are being dropped at my next court date. Lawyers are not cheap and not so easy to get on the phone after you hire them because sometimes their days are packed as they are always in court, but don't let that put you off from hiring these guys. They got me waived of quite a few bogus felony charges. They do their jobs well. I originally spoke to Ross and thought he would be my lawyer but Brad Leventhal showed up at my first court date and he did an excellent job with the proceedings, encouraging me assuring me that this would pass and it would be okay. These guys were half the price of the original lawyer I went to who wanted 20,000 upfront to cover the whole pretrial and trial. Thosev other guys told me it would be over by Christmas, for that exorbitant fee. Fortunately I went with these guys and only paid 10,000 because there was no trial and here we are right before Christmas getting dismissed. So relieved. Thank you guys. They saved my life any my wallet!! Five Stars!

Your exceptional work has surpassed all expectations, and I cannot thank you enough.
I am relieved that the clouds of uncertainty have finally dissipated, allowing us to forge ahead on a more promising path. Thanks to Andrew Muchmore efforts, the concerns regarding the mismanagement of the properties by the executor are no longer a burden. With your ongoing support, alongside Melanie Wasserman and the rest of the team, I am confident that we will achieve even greater success in the future.
Your dedication to our case went above and beyond what was expected. Your timely communication and prompt responses to our inquiries provided us with a sense of reassurance and confidence. Your expertise and knowledge of the legal intricacies involved in this matter were evident in every step of the process.
Furthermore, Andrew abilities to navigate through the complex web of regulations and laws showed your profound understanding of the legal landscape. Your attention to detail and thoroughness in reviewing all documents and contracts ensured that we were protected and informed throughout the entire process. Your commitment to our best interests was evident at every turn, and it is truly commendable.
I want to express my gratitude to Melanie not only for the legal expertise she provided but also for the compassion and empathy she demonstrated during this challenging time. Your support and guidance eased our anxieties and allowed us to focus on the resolution of the matter at hand. Your professionalism and dedication have left a lasting impression on our team, and I cannot thank you enough.

I needed a lawyer and I didn’t know which kind to look for. I thank God for the referral to this firm.
Munchmore spoke with me himself before taking my case and explained I’m detail exactly what my options were and exactly what he would do. Then when I hired them, he helped me work with his highly knowledgeable staff who also answered every phone call and email and every question I had! (I had a lot)
This firm is extremely experienced and they work like a well oiled machine, able to handle dozens of cases at once but still attentive to where I may as well have been the only one! They communicate and are transparent with me and represented me while taking away a huge chunk of stress involved around the parties in my case and the sensitivity of my issue. 5 stars for sure. I pray I won’t need a lawyer ever again but if I do, I’m going here first 🙏🏻

I cannot thank John Virdone and his team enough for their exceptional expertise in elder and family law.

John quickly understood our unique situation and crafted a solid legal strategy to protect my and my mother's rights and our family's unity.
I have witnessed John Virdone’s competence as a skilled litigator and defense attorney in every interaction and courtroom appearance. I am impressed by his personal attention and his ability to clearly explain legal matters. He has shown a remarkable commitment to addressing my questions promptly and thoroughly. John genuinely cares about achieving the best outcome for his clients.
Although my case is still ongoing, I feel compelled to share my experience, at this time, to help someone else who may need a trustworthy, dedicated, and knowledgeable advisor in elder law and family law. I look forward to updating my review, at the conclusion of our case. Thx, MCoppin

In my early years I heard many disturbing stories of how people lost a major part of their inheritance to City, State and Federal tax, after their parents died without having lawful protection from the tax system, and the thought of seeking a protection crossed my mind many times. But I kept postponed it to next week, next month, or next year, and year after year until I became much older and one morning I woke up with a terrible thought of how foolish it would have been If anything happened to me and left my family without protection losing half of what really belongs to them.
I spoke to a few attorneys but no one could make clear to me this complicated tax process and the fine print, until I contacted the Vishnick-McGovern-Milizio law firm and spoke with Constantina Papageorgiou who is an elder law attorney. Talking with Constantina was all clear and simple to me. She explained everything with professionalism and care. I did not hesitate.
Now I have a peace of mind knowing my hard earnings, my home and everything else are protected, and my family will get to keep everything that belongs to them.

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.
