I am very pleased with my experience working with the whole team at Aharoni Business Law. After engaging the firm for the purpose of bringing on a new partner, they were quickly able to discern and draft the documents I needed. I can undoubtedly say that their work is thorough and that Jackie is tremendously responsive to questions and concerns. I've had previous experiences with other attorneys during which I've been met with either incompetence or condescension. With Jackie though, I felt that she listened and took the time to truly dissect the complexity of our legal situation(s). Her desire to help me further my own business goals and build a long-standing relationship with me (and my business), left me feeling beyond thrilled with her work. I would (and do) recommend Aharoni Business Law to all of my peers!

Nathalie the case manager assigned to my case was great ! She communicated with me often throughout the length of the case and she explained as well as kept me informed every step of the way. Nathalie has the gift of simplifying the navigation of what to do after a car accident into a more manageable situation. Car accidents suck but Nathalie was great in assisting me through the process.

When I woke up in the hospital, I knew I had been in an accident but I wasn’t sure about what had happened so I decided to get lawyers to help me out. I was scared of what actually happened but after I saw the commercial of the lawfirm I decided to try the number and see where it would take me, not realizing I had made one of the most important decisions of my life.

I am fortunate to have Jacoby & Meyers firm work my injury claim. Nathalie Figueroa my accident lawyer has been of great support not only professional but has a human touch when addressing her clients. My life changed since the car accident and she has been on top of everything for us, leaving us only to focus on getting well, while she has been able to handle the hard work. I love that she’s kind, empathetic, a great listener and has helped to give us peace of mind, ready to answer any of our questions with a caring tone. Nathalie genuinely cares, her personal approach is unique while maintaining her professional role. For us the most important outcome is the recovery of body injury and these firm has professionals that are qualified to make individuals feel heard and understood during this life changing event. The difference between them and other firms is that they highly care about the person and their commitment to strive to improve and acquire back our health and improve the quality of life after the accident. For that reason I would highly recommend them and thank you Nathalie for being compassionate towards your clients.
We are forever grateful and highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of these type of services. From Jessica López Ana Barrientos Leah and Ronald López 😊

I would recommend Bob Salinas to anyone facing bad behavior from a landlord. We went to him when our landlord tried to illegally evict every person in our complex, and he guided us through the process of collecting evidence and responding to the eviction threats, and then helped us through mediation and to a settlement that kept us all in our homes.
The thing I really want to stress, though, is how kind and patient he is with his clients. Needless to say we were beyond anxious and stressed out over the landlord's threats, but he was always there for us, giving us so much more of his time than he had to -- even though our case was much smaller than many of the other cases his firm handles.
Going with the Salinas Law Group is one of the best decisions we've ever made.

Attorney Melanie D. Popper asked me to leave a review regarding her representation in my case from a few years ago. It was a long fight, but we did prevail after several depositions and hearings on my sexual harassment case. Ms. Popper made me feel protected and like I had a boxer in my corner and I highly recommend her firm for representation in California.

Thank you so much for your service! Your support made me feel powerful in this situation. Attorney Melanie D. Popper represented me in a sexual harassment lawsuit a few years ago involving my supervisor and she asked me to write this recommendation for their office. I so appreciated her attentiveness and professionalism. Women in the workforce dealing with this type of behavior and treatment need zealous attorneys who are willing to stand up for us. It was a long journey, but with great results in the end. Thank you!

My experience with C.W. Goodroe (Christopher) was positive from the start. Being new to litigation of any kind, I had no idea what to expect of the process. Chris was informative and answered my many questions. He explained the entire process, what I should expect, and was clear on the timeline. Communication was excellent and he always returned my calls or emails promptly as well as calling or emailing when he said he would. I also appreciated that he explained all possibilities and let me decide what I wanted to do, even though I most commonly went with his advice. Chris is determined, confident, and not easily intimidated, so I felt very sure that my case was handled with the best outcome possible. I highly recommend his services.

I was apprehended during a public gathering, disoriented and extremely unprepared for jail, my family hired Mr. Rudolph as my attorney. Court day came, I met him for the first time. His presence was a huge relief. We had a short convo about my info and asked me what did I want? I simply told him a burger, he promised me he'd get me a burger by that night. 3 hours later, got me through the judge and got me released on my way to my burger. This may seem silly, but he is one of the few attorneys that will actually treat you like a fellow human being and not as a client or defendant.
I highly recommend Mr. Rudolph to anybody in need of a superb attorney capable of defending you when all odds are against you. He represented me. Thank you Mr. Rudolph!

Jared did an exceptional job for me. He invested a lot of time & effort handling my matter, going above & beyond my expectations - "hardworking" doesn't even begin to describe it. I wasn't just a client to Jared, I was a real person. And he didn't forget my family, either. I'd hire him again in a heartbeat.

I hired Kevin to represent me in a legal matter involving a workplace issue. During the year he represented me in this matter he was terrific - always available to answer questions and guide me, offered the right legal advice for my case and never backed down against my employer in order to do what was right and legal for me.
I would absolutely recommend him to anyone seeking a lawyer and if need be, I would hire him again in a heart beat to represent me.
I really can't say enough good things about Kevin - he is one terrific lawyer.

Mr. Hubbard superbly handled my case which centered around workplace harassment and intimidation. His professional and attentive approach to my needs throughout the process of negotiation is the reason I am writing this review and would recommend his services to anyone. None of my concerns were too frivolous and he was able to easily adjust his strategy to suit my time-table. I am extremely happy with our arrangement and the outcome of my legal matter.

Kevin and his team listened and asked great questions to understand my issue and handled it with great empathy and care. I always felt that they had my best interests at heart. When I called them they either answer right away or called back quickly - even emailed on weekends. Their guidance was valuable and helped me navigate very difficult circumstances. The outcome was in my favor and I was very satisfied with the results. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kevin or the firm for any legal guidance / issue. They are professionals and care about their clients.

Mr. Katon was a breath of fresh air, after my innocent son was dragged into a dispute between his landlord and a third party. Lawyers in this dispute were unmindful and disrespectful of my son's rights and obligations as a tenant. Mr Katon stepped in, communicated respectfully to all parties, and received quick acknowledgement of the tenants' rights.

I was Glenn Katon's client for over three years. He led the legal team in a landmark civil rights case.
He has the uncanny ability to make the most complex constitutional arguments easy to understand. He points out how large complex legal issues are relatable in day to day life. He gave his clients updates on what was happeneing by conference calls, emails, letters or text and personal meetings. He filled me in on what was next and what I should expect, and addressed any questions a community member or coplantiff had openly and honestly. Glenn was approachable, kind, direct, affable and driven.
I whole heartedly recommend Glenn Katon to anyone needing his legal services. His very presence in Court will give you comfort in knowing 'equal justice under the law' is right around the corner thanks to Katon and those like him who continue to fight for the little guy.

Mr. Pointer is the real deal. He is the best rising attorney on the West Coast. He has all the talent and skills that makes him a legend in the making. His mentor Mr. Burris has developed this young man into being one of the best criminal defense/civil rights/litagation attorney's that California has to offer. Can you say the next Johnny Cochrane? If you want the best, then go with Mr. Pointer.

My name is Terema and 8 months ago my family and I were being displaced do to gentrification. Long story short, I was introduced to Micah through a wonderful organization called ACCE. Micah was asked to represent my family and he excepted the challenge, pro bono I might add. Micah was professional, transparent, knowledgeable and overall a pleasure to have on my team. Micah was diligent, persistent and most of all effective. Micah’s willingness to help my family, (free of charge) made the difference in our lives. Without Micah’s support my situation would’ve been a living hell to say the least. Ultimately, my family and I were displaced but because of Micah’s hard work, we were given the time and money to transition into a new chapter in our lives. I’m happy to report that my family and I are doing well and I’m the proud owner of my first home. To say Micah is a Blessing is not an understatement, it’s just one of the many words I’d use to describe him. Rest assure that if Micah is representing you or your loved ones, your in the best hands possible. Thanks Micah for ALL you do and I pray for your continued success. Terema

Wow, what an honor it is to write this review. Without him knowing, I contacted several law firms who were publicly known in the area and they all failed. For example, they talked to me instead of with me. Another example is that I felt like another number in line, and as though they had more important cases than mine.
Micah J. Clatterbaugh has been my go to ever since. I have had three instances where Micah assisted me. Each of those three cases, he allowed me to be the driver and respected my thoughts about the case. On one of the cases, we worked on it for over a year and we gathered all of the information needed. When it was time to sign the form, I decided to back out and I never felt like he pressured me to reconsider. On my second case, we spent at least 6 months working on it and when we were coming to the end of it, we both realized that addressing the issue in court was not in either of our interest anymore. On the third case, we spent just a few hours on and he said, "we don't have to meet up, just talk with me on the phone about it." He soon called my alleged person and followed up with an email; my alleged person fixed the issue on the spot.
Having Micah as a resource gives me the strength and confidence to be a healthy human being. Knowing I have someone who knows the law, talks with me and not at me, is professional, friendly, is not a yes man but rather someone who will challenge you to dig deeper, is certainly someone that I would want to promote.
Please contact Micah J. Clatterbaugh for your civil matters, Employment, labor, Landlord or tenant issues. I am a true customer of his. I have utilized his advise on just about all of his expertise.

I found Meakins Law to help guide me through my divorce and I’m so pleased with the services I received. I felt very overwhelmed and frustrated but had so much stress taken off when I started working with David to help me finish my case. Everyone I dealt with at Meakins Law was very communicative, transparent, and took away any intimidating feelings I had (especially during an emotionally difficult time!) I would highly recommend David/ Meakins Law to anyone in the Oakland- Berkeley area who needs a trusting divorce lawyer.

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.

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.
