Jeff and team were exceedingly thorough. Jeff explained difficult concepts so that my wife and I could understand them without having a legal education. I was amazed at the time he spent with us answering our questions. He created a fairly complex will and trust for us quickly and at a surprisingly low cost. Jennifer (paralegal) spent hours with us, arranging documents, making requested changes and walking us through the trust “funding” and execution process. Jennifer was also very patient and extremely friendly. My wife and I would wholeheartedly recommend Jeffrey Berenholz to anyone.

Brian Taubman provided me with one of best most convenient attorney experiences I have ever had! He takes full advantage of modern technology. He must have a clone of himself because I have no idea how he himself takes or returns phone calls, text messages and emails so quickly, he never left me hanging. I really can’t speak highly enough of this guy. I don’t think anybody can go wrong with Brian for their legal needs. Thanks again Brian!

My wife and I were introduced to Scott Williams in 1995 by one of our insurance agents, and from the outset realized not only how knowledgeable he was, but how thorough and caring. During the past 25 years, and continuing with the addition of Jen Allen and Ray Casey as partners, the pattern has remained the same. Annual reviews, follow-up to ensure the trusts are fully funded, educational programs for clients, trustees, and heirs have kept things current and reassuring to all. When my wife passed away in 2005, the settlement process was caring, and also quick and efficient. I heartily recommend this team, which includes a tremendous support staff.

Consultated with Mike about 5 years ago about being wronged by DCS here in Tucson, AZ. He decided this was a legitimate case of judicial deception and my civil rights were revoked in the actual removal of my child. I believe he did everything he could to get this case settled before going to court and I felt that he truly cared what happened to my child, who cannot speak for himself, and myself. I attribute my win against DCS to Mike. I would recommend Mike to anyone who has a civil rights issue. Thank you so much, again!

He communicated clearly and guided us through what could have been a harrowing experience. We felt listened to and respected through out the process. I would highly recommend Mr. Moore.

After having several law firms decline my case due to its difficulty, I was truly discouraged. Thankfully, The Chandra Law Firm took it on while setting realistic expectations and making no promises. I felt reassured that I had the right team for the job. Their guidance and insight throughout the process was invaluable, as this was definitely uncharted territory for me. I was an emotional wreck enduring such a life-changing event leading up to the lawsuit. I can’t overstate how appreciative I am for not only their professionalism, but also the empathy shown. From beginning to end, my case was handled in such a dignified manner, and for that I am grateful. Thank you, Don, Subodh, and company! You truly embody, “Your case is our cause”.

My wife and I were victims of a tail-end collision in May, 2021, resulting in us both being sent to emergency via ambulance. After being deluged with a bewildering avalanche of correspondence from attorneys, including a book and video about why we should retain their respective firms, we decided to retain the the services of Roni Sokol. She was professional, honest, straightforward and realistic about our need to retain legal help and about our chance of securing additional help through the "underinsured" clause in our own policy. She handled all legal matters regarding our medical claims quickly and efficiently and presented all options to us before agreeing to any conditions. Our interaction with her was more than satisfactory, it was excellent. I highly recommend her and will hire her if matters present themselves again in the future.

Roni Sokol did a fabulous job. She explained the whole process very clearly. She gathered all the details of my case in a methodical fashion. She communicated with me regularly and always explained what she was doing and what options I had.
She presented a VERY strong position in my case and then negotiated for the best possible settlement. I am thrilled with her work and would highly recommend her to anyone needing legal assistance

From our first meeting, Attorney Ali Arko provided keen ears, and a calming voice to bring a clear sense of the law to our conversation. Highly recommended by another attorney, I found Ali to be extremely well versed in the law and pragmatic in her approach to obtaining justice for our son in an awkward situation that was initially impenetrable for us. Ali made sense of current laws, their implications, and used her considerable experience to focus and guide our interventions. Ali readily sought and obtained consultations with her experienced KJK colleagues, organized conference calls as needed, and consistently provided clear updates. Ali is masterful communicator, honest, caring and keyed into the intricate implications of social media. In the end, Ali helped us obtain a favorable outcome, allowing us to achieve peace, was efficient with our retainer, and timeless in her advocacy. I would consult Ali Arko again in a heartbeat.

I am so thankful I was able to locate and retain Ali. I needed assistance with online defamation affecting my professional reputation and impacting my employment. Working with Ali I got actual results, not just bills for strongly worded emails that went nowhere.
Ali and her team helped navigate this unfortunately grey area of the law and was able to achieve takedown results assisting with my case. Each step of the way Ali provided clear direction and updates as she managed what was achievable.
Ali was also able to recommend strategies for combatting online defamation with reputation firms that continue to assist and suppress negative postings impacting my reputation and employability.
For anyone currently dealing with online defamation you have my empathy and strongest possible recommendation to work with Ali to resolve your matter.

To say Ali and her team were great is an understatement. I was involved in a legal matter that required out-of-the-box thinking and being on top of the legal game.
Ali clearly showed this in handling my case. She was intelligent, hard-driving, and very communicative in all aspects of what happened to me.
Do I recommend using this fantastic person and her team? Absolutely!

When I was unexpectedly terminated from a management position last year I was devastated. The next day I found Matt Besser while researching Ohio employment lawyers and my call to him changed everything. He listened intently to the facts surrounding my dismissal, asked questions that I didn’t even know were relevant at the time, and quickly built a case that resulted in a very satisfactory outcome..
Matt is a rare attorney who combines his command of employment law with a genuine interest in the difficulties his clients face after a loss of livelihood. He and his firm have gained my highest confidence. 5/5 stars.

Mr. Holloway represented me in a case against my previous employer. He was very thorough, punctual, and on top of my case the the entire time. He has a lot of knowledge regarding my employment case, and when in doubt, he found the answers and talked to other colleagues to make sure we had the best outcome. But, what I believe is his best qualities of his practice is, is he is family oriented and truly wants what the best and what is fair. Thank you! I would highly recommend his practice.

I needed Eric's services to review a Separation Agreement that included a severance package. We also reviewed negotiating a longer term severance period. Eric was very concerned that I understood all my options and provided more than expected information throughout the negotiation. I am a non-practicing attorney and have worked in HR and with contracts. Although I am familiar with the area of employment law, Eric had much to teach me. Due to his experience and research, I was able to get the most satisfactory severance deal with my former employer.

As a trial lawyer how owns a practice out of state, I know not to act as my own attorney. When I needed to engage in a civil action in another state, going against a well-resourced opponent and a large firm, I chose Ashlie Case Sletvold. She and her partner, Subodh, were staunch advocates using equal parts aggression and discretion. They spent tremendous resources on fact-gathering, and wherever they went with me they were able to call in airstrikes from their support team back at the firm. Attorney/client contact was exceptionally frequent, and Ashlie's teammates worked seamlessly together. They had the connections and savoir-faire to involve the right people, and the result was something that brings me daily satisfaction years later.

I was introduced to Michael over three years ago when he took over a large portion of my whistleblower retaliation case against a large municipality. He has held a dual role in dealing with OSHA matters, as well as the Federal case. He has an amazing propensity to filter through an extraordinary amount of material and pick out all that is relevant. At times, I have told others, I speak to him more than I do my wife. He has kept me abreast of all the developments in both cases and, along with his team, has made amazing recommendations which have resulted in very positive outcomes. Michael also takes a personal interest in his clients and realizes the emotional strain this has on a person. There are times he has called just to see how I’m holding up. His concern has been greatly appreciated. Over the years, I’ve come to regard him as a great friend as well as a brilliant attorney. I cannot say enough about the amount of time and energy he has spent to deliver justice to my case. I don’t believe you will find an attorney anywhere with the level of dedication of Michael and his team.

Michael Halberstam carefully listened to me as he put together strong arguments for my unjust termination case. He was amazing at conceptualizing my case. His approach was very professional and very supportive. He showed kindness, empathy and respect during the process. Mr. Halberstam was relentless in pursuing the facts. He is a powerful legal writer. He was an extremely strong advocate every step of the way. It was empowering the way he told my story with the full force of the law behind it, ultimately winning a settlement.

Michael was extremely helpful to me in navigating my severance package when I was terminated from my employment. I was overwhelmed with many feelings over the termination. Michael was instrumental assisting me both professionally and personally. Professionally he clearly explained that I had the right to negotiate with my former employer the severance package they gave me. He also shared with me his personal experience with a similar issue that happened to him. He negotiated all the negative verbiage out of the severance document that would have hindered me in future employment in my profession. he also was successful in extending my severance package for an additional 4 weeks. Being able to talk to someone who had a similar experience was by far the most helpful. Michael helped me get my head on straight and got me going in the right direction in seeking future employment. Thanks Again to a great Lawyer and a great person.

Although the outcome of my case remains unresolved and uncertain at this time, I know that Marilyn will do everything possible to see it through and to get me the justice that was squandered by my last representative. Marilyn shows genuine interest in my case and I completely trust her as we move forward to what I know will be a positive outcome. I HIGHLY recommend Marilyn and her firm to anyone that seeks justice. She's awesome!!

He has outstanding expertise in insurance law, business law of all types, the other areas he discusses in his bio and now he has entered a role as a high level person of expertise in Cybersecurity, privacy and related areas of breach law. I highly recommend Joel without reservation. I would hire him for any of these matters again.

I write from the perspective of someone who has not only hired half a dozen lawyers in prior years, but as someone who is now in law school. In short, I have been around many lawyers.
There are many fine lawyers and so a lawyer who does a good job for a client doesn't necessarily stand out. Thus, while I would give a good review to many lawyers, Mr. Holt is the only lawyer to whom I would give an unqualified five-star review; not only is he an exceptional lawyer, but he is someone who genuinely cares for his clients.
I have sat here for a while debating the best way to explain my opinion of Mr. Holt without digressing into either a list of commonly-used adjectives that could be written about anyone (and by anyone), or into the multiple ways that he has consistently exceeded expectations as my lawyer for the past five years. I think the following most accurately conveys my sentiments:
Despite being a profession that is the recipient of more than its fair share of jokes and pessimism, a lawyer -- at his or her best -- has a higher calling. The lawyer is a champion of the rule of law and a zealous advocate for his or her client. In these roles, a lawyer necessarily inhabits a special position of trust and should be deeply mindful of the fact that his or her efforts may profoundly affect the lives of other people. The best of lawyers recognize these facts and thus they do not approach the practice of law as merely a job.
And so, when I think about these facts within the context of soon embarking on my own legal career, I cannot think of a better embodiment of the virtues that all lawyers should strive toward than Mr. Holt. He therefore has my unqualified highest recommendation.

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.
