I am incredibly grateful for Rahul Parikh and the exceptional legal assistance he provided. He is not only an outstanding attorney but also someone who genuinely cares about his clients. His dedication to helping people is evident in every aspect of his work. Throughout the process, he was always available when I needed him and treated me with the warmth and respect of family.
Rahul’s staff is courteous and highly professional, making the entire experience even more seamless. I reached out to him for help with buying out my brother from a home we inherited, and Rahul made the transition remarkably smooth. He took the time to ensure every detail was handled properly and gave me the confidence that everything was being done correctly.
Rahul went above and beyond by carefully reviewing the contracts with me, addressing potential future concerns, and providing peace of mind. I can’t recommend him and his team enough—truly an exceptional experience!

Newsome Melton represented me in a very positive manner. Always professional, courteous, supportive and attentive. They were always able to keep me apprised of the status of my case. Jesse Stern and the team on my case were always easy to work with and on top of all issues. I never had to wonder where we were at in the process. I would recommend them to anyone needing this type of help in the future.

Michelle called me today and assisted me with finding a law firm that maybe able to help. When a law firm that can not assist reaches out to others on your behalf, that means they are there to help. Lawyers get a bad rap sometimes as a ambulance chaser, but they are really here to help you whether they can assist or not!!!!!

As a human, a great reputation is one thing we all can control. This was something Deon helped me keep, and for that, I will always refer him as a great criminal defense lawyer for life.
I was in a position of being falsely accused of theft, which could have resulted me in federal prison for several years. In the very beginning, I do recall the stress I encountered and I can for sure tell you that having Deon on your side made this entire experience very uplifting, and empowering.
While explaining my side of my story, his solutions were immediate (Gave me solutions during my explanation haha, that's how quick). Before we even finished our call, I already felt that everything was going to be resolved due to the confidence, energy, and reassurance I received from him. With the court system backed up due to COVID, the length of my case extended 6-7 months. To imagine my experience without Deon, I can very well predict that those 6-7 months would have been very stressful on my end.
If you're in the search of a great criminal defense lawyer who knows what they're doing and doesn't waste time. Deon is your guy.

De Novo Law PA assisted me with getting legal rights to see my daughter at a time when my daughters mother refused to let me see her and then refused to let her spend any overnights with me, for no reason. Deon kept me updated all the way through and because of him, I finally have legal rights to my baby girl and weekly overnights with her. I can build our daddy-daughter relationship and it’s all thanks to Harold Deon Thompson, Esq. and De Novo Law, PA! I am forever grateful and blessed to have been represented by such a dedicated, professional firm.

Roger Scott is great at his job he answers fast, he cares, and he genuinely tries. He is currently trying to have the court allow me to join the military for my charges to get dropped after asking me if I have ever been interested in the military. He also has three other options set up if that doesn’t work out. He is a great guy.

After being arrested I knew hiring the best attorney would be the best thing I could do to help myself. I did a lot of research and contacted several attorneys before I decided to meet with James Phillips. He was even recommended by some of the other attorneys I talked to. He demonstrated a very good understanding and proficiency with my situation and assured me that he would do whatever it took to obtain the best results possible. With professionalism and courtesy and a thorough knowledge of the legal system he was able to get my DUI charge sent to pretrial diversion. He was also able to dispute my DUI with the DMV so I received my full license back with no limitations and no penalties fines or points. I could not have asked for a better outcome and a better attorney.

Katz & Philips law firm is exceptional. “Don’t try fighting by yourself…They helped me a lot and I don’t have the words to thank them.” I was offered a public defender and so glad I turned that down. The outcome of my situation could have ended bad. As it turned out the case was dropped to the quick actions by this firm. There was so much understanding and concern of my situation and I would recommend them to anyone. There is no second choice for a good lawyer.

I worked directly with Mr. Phillips and his associates stemming from two separates cases across two counties. James and his team worked collectively and passionately to resolve both issues. It was refreshing to be represented by individuals who have a true concern for your overall well being. My case was dismissed in entirety.

I hired Laura not too long ago to help me with a Domestic Violence Injunction. Laura was always by my side and was on top of the case. She was there to answer my calls right away after dialing, whether at Midnight or Early in the morning. She did the same for any E-Mails sent to us, providing us with any documents that would be needed for the outcome we wished for. Then came the day of the hearing. She was punctual and there early, and she was sharp and was able to persuade the judge to go in a manner that is greatly done. Normally, Injunctions only last for about 1 - 2 years. But, with Laura's help we got an answer that seemed impossible, a ten year injunction. We got an answer that went beyond out expectations. I would recommend Laura for anyone. If you are reading this, Thank You Laura!

Laura Parker recently represented myself on a injunction order filed. She did a great job at quickly presenting details to the judge to have the case dismissed. She arrived well equipped with past cases to present and had enough information on the complaint to be prepared should the judge have taken further steps to hear the case beyond her initial argument.

Mr. Moreno is a very knowledgable attorny in the field of inmigration. My mom and I have refered friends to him and the experience has been amazing.

I have gone to him twice once to his office in semoran and the other to his office in Kissimmee, the consultation has been very productive, firendly and he took the time to explain all possible avenues in a clear, concise way. My brother has also use his services.
I endorse and recommend Mr. Moreno with no reservations what so ever.

I met Abbye while working for a different company and took her with me into my next position. As an In-House Litigation Counsel, Abbye is truly my best accessory for several reasons. At the beginning of a case, she invests a lot of time to understand my needs as a client. After that, it's like she can almost read my mind strategy wise. She is smart, gets to the point and is not afraid to let me know if she disagrees with my position based on current case law. She is a business friendly attorney who can speak operations at the corporate level. Best of all, she has a wonderful personality to match. You just can't go wrong.

William J. Wieland is such a great attorney. He took on my grandmother’s case pro bono and treated her case as would any attorney getting highly paid. He was always present to answer our questions and was also there to ease any of our anxieties. I wish we were fortunate enough to pay him millions for his generosity, patience, and genuine dedication and service. It’s becoming increasingly rare to find such people in the world of this nature nowadays, so I would recommend his service to anyone in need of a great lawyer!
By the way, William was able to get my grandmother’s case dismissed!

I turned to the O'Mara Law Firm after being unhappy with my original divorce attorney and thank goodness I did! Attorney Bert Barclay and his team represented me in my case and I am SO grateful for their support. I was able to come to an agreement with my ex-spouse through mediation and feel that Bert and Sophia, his paralegal, were critical in helping me prepare for my mediation and ultimately helped me win the financial support I needed to move forward with my new life. The mediation wasn't easy, but Bert's experience made me feel protected and he handled my emotions so well. While I never worked with Mark directly, I knew he was also there if needed, well aware of my case, and supportive. I am truly grateful for this group of people and highly recommend turning to them if you need help in your divorce case!

I had the good fortune to engage Attorney Ryan Morris of Foundation Legal to assist me with my successful clemency request in Florida. From the initial consultation it was apparent Attorney Morris had the experience and knowledge to ensure the best chance for a successful outcome. Attorney Morris walked me through the process where the smallest error could result in a denial or add lengthy delays. He and his office were great to work with and he stood with me at the hearing where I was granted a full pardon for an offense while I was a teenager over 40 years ago. I would highly recommend Attorney Ryan Morris if you need competent and experienced legal counsel with the clemency process in the state of Florida.

Attorney Jerry Girley is the absolute best lawyer. He has always answered my questions in a fair and honest way and never said anything to me but the truth. He is the absolute best. Thank You.

03 Sep, 2015 by Mark
Mr. Jerry Girley is representing me for two different cases. It would not be prudent for me to talk about the details of the cases except in a general way. I can only say that out of all the attorneys I have had in the past, Jerry Girley far surpasses them. My Step father, who was a United States Attorney General and known as the Attorney's Attorney because he represented many other Attorneys during his lifetime, would have been hard pressed to keep up with Attorney Jerry Girley, after a second thought, my Step Father would have retained Attorney Girley as his representative because of Jerry Girley's integrity and steadfast honesty and the being the very best attorney out there. If you ever have a problem with law, do yourself a favor and call Attorney Jerry Girley. Jerry Girley has raised the bar so high that no other attorney could hope to come close. When he puts on his attorney's hat, you will get the best representation possible. I don't want to make this to long so I will close with this, if you require the best representation possible, give attorney Jerry Girley a call. He knows what he's doing and he knows how to help. He certainly helped me with an extremely sensitive case that most other attorneys would not touch. Thank you.

Attorney Logan Young went way over and beyond what was ever expected of him in handling my personal injury claim. I never imagined I would get the amount of money that he recovered for me. One of those reasons is because he worked diligently negotiating with medical providers to lower my medical bills. When he called to tell me that the other insurance company had finally receded and agreed to pay the full amount without us having to go to trial, I was in tears because my medical bills were so high that I really didn't expect to get much, if anything. Mr. Young did an excellent job!! Should the unfortunate ever happen to me again, Mr. Logan Young will be the first call I make! Not only would I hire him again, I would also recommend him to anyone who may be trying to decide which personal injury atty to hire. Thank You, Mr. Logan Young!

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.

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:

- 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.

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.
