I was in a car accident in 2020 I had different lawyers handling my case finally
Mr. Michael Pungitore took my case and I can truthfully say he is definitely the best. If you need the best lawyer I definitely without a doubt recommend him. I give him a 10 plus you could not ask for better service and such a caring person he got the job done. Thanks again for your service😊

I cannot begin to express my gratitude for the Giampolo Law Group who helped us navigate an incredibly painful year—both legally and emotionally. Angela provided expert legal guidance with great compassion when we had to navigate the complicated trappings of losing a loved one. In our grief, she and her team seamlessly helped us honor our Queer brother and his wishes.
And then Trump was elected. Again Angela was an invaluable resource lending her legal brilliance with great aplomb and speedy action to help secure and protect our Queer family in light of the real threat to LGBTQIA+ folks. I sleep better knowing that The Giampolo Group has provided us with the legal paperwork and counsel to keep my family safe.

Angela, Tom, and her team made the process extremely easy and seamless. Estate planning can seem overwhelming and scary, but the experience we had with the Giampolo Law Group was very empowering and personable. All should do this, especially members of the LGBTQ+ community in order to keep control of your assets and make your wishes known. It’s so important to protect and defend the life that you built together regardless of the future threat to marriage equality. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts- Jen & Donelle

Angela and her team were amazing, this work is incredibly thorough and I've never felt more secure than I do after having an estate plan done. As the youngest member of my family I have the most thorough and powerful estate plan out of all of them and it's all because of her incredible work and dedicated team. Efficiency is unmatched, professionalism bleeds from the walls, and empathy and compassion flow effortlessly from them. 10s 10s 10s across the board!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with attorney Dillion Harris, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From our first consultation, it was clear that he was committed to leaving no stone unturned in helping me understand my legal situation. Dillion took the time to thoroughly explain every detail and answer all my questions, ensuring I felt supported throughout the process.
Not only did I achieve the outcome I desired, but I also felt a deep sense of confidence knowing that Dillion had meticulously prepared my case. His dedication and attention to detail were evident every step of the way. Even if the outcome had been different, I would still have been satisfied because I knew he left nothing to chance. Dillion Harris is a phenomenal attorney, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation.

I reached out to Mr. Burnett from Avvo and had a long consultation call over the phone about my landlord-tenant issue. He offered 3 violations that my landlord is subject to and an action plan while other lawyers I have contacted only provided partial information. Mr. Burnett also seemed very genuine and well connected. If my case was in his area, I would definitely have worked with Mr. Burnett. Thank you!

Mr Gray is very pleasant. He listens to concerns completely & focused on the matter at hand with a plan to back it up. When I talked to him, he discussed different view points & tactics. He didn't sugar-coat things. He was straight forward & even recited different laws & statues as he went over possible scenarios. He made us feel much better because he thinks things through. He was punctual & actually early when meeting up. We are confident knowing we have someone who cares & knows the law.

Ryan represented me in a criminal case. He was very organized professional and overall pleasant to work with. He was able to get my sentence reduced beyond what I expected. It was clear that he had a good relationship with the right people at the court and I feel this likely factored into the favorable outcome. I would absolutely recommend anyone to Ryan and his colleagues in the future.

Recently, I found myself needing to find an attorney. I did not know where to look. I was very frustrated and sad and scared because I could not find anybody. I barely even knew what I was looking for, but I had an opportunity come up for my children and I couldn’t let it pass so after a ton of phone calls and a ton of hopeless answers, I just prayed And somebody that I had called referred me to Mr. Haggerty. I have yet to be disappointed. He has 100% had my back charged me a very fair amount of money when I had other attorneys telling me that I had to pay with a credit card just to talk on the phone , Mr. Haggerty, I hope gets some of the best karma in life because he truly deserves from the moment I called his office, I am immediately was transferred to him. I did not have to wait a week. I did not have to be told that I needed to pay money with a credit card at some crazy astronomical rate and the work I needed done he did it perfectly and timely, when it came to a phone call with the parties that we are buying from 100% had my back I didn’t know any of the questions I didn’t know what to say or do but he sure did you want fair Attorney that knows what they’re doing and will put you first so you almost feel like you’re the only client they have in the world I will tell you, Mr. Joe Haggerty is your guy. I’m actually getting ready to go in edible arrangement for office just a show of tinge of gratitude for I have for the way he’s just had my back .

My husband was caught with distributing drugs and was facing a mandatory of 24 months in jail. We have two little girls and I automatically assumed my life would turn upside down. I contacted my uncle who hired Ben Datika in the past for his sons case. Long story short Ben Datika comforted me and promised me that he will do his best on my husbands case. It is very hard for us financially and I explained this along with our other family issues to Ben and he went above and beyond trying to calm me down and work out a payment plan with me. I really appreciate everything you have done for my husband and myself. Ben came through with his promise and worked out a deal were my husband would only serve 30 days in jail with no probation. I cant thank you enough being a stay at home mom me and my daughters can not wait for there dad to be home. My entire family thanks you.

Jason, is definitely the lawyer you would want when dealing with legal matters or if ur not sure if u even have a case!. I as well as others who didn’t know we had a case came to him “Jason” & he listened to my / our situation and then told us we are going to challenge the situation!. He had more faith in the case than I did. Long story short he didn’t give up, we got a great settlement & even while going through the case and after the case he checked and checks up on me!. He’s more than a lawyer he’s definitely a great person to have in your corner! U definitely won’t regret having this lawyer as your lawyer! I know I don’t and won’t regret having a person like Jason as a lawyer in my corner!

If you need someone truly supportive and understanding, who will be in your corner every step of the way, Jason Pearlman is definitely the person for you. I am immensely grateful to have had Jason represent me. Not only is he exceptionally knowledgeable and informative, but he also genuinely believed in my case when no one else did. I could reach Jason anytime with questions, and he was always available to guide me through the process, provide necessary information, and support me with his valuable time. Thanks to Jason, we achieved a wonderful outcome. He was the only attorney who really believed in my case, boosting my self-esteem and giving me the strength to push forward. Jason empowered me to stand up for myself, and without him, I would never have proceeded with the case. This case was very personal to me, and I am incredibly thankful that I could share my story and be heard. Jason, thank you so much for your time, patience, and support throughout the entire process. You were truly God send and I will always be very grateful for all your guidance.

I truly felt represented and defended with Mr. Younts. He is very hard working and well spoken. His demeanor and compassion put me at ease in what was a very tense and difficult time. I have zero regrets in reaching out to have Davis represent me in my case and will definitely recommend him. My case was resolved favorably with great thanks to Mr. Younts.

I had the good fortune to work with Ginger on a workplace issue involving discrimination. From the first phone call Ginger showed the utmost integrity and knowledge on the subject. She was patient and engaged in hearing about the situation, very upfront about my options, and throughout the process provided clear information to help guide my decisions. She was prompt and courteous, and also appropriately firm, in all her communication. She was able to reach a mutually agreed upon resolution in under 3 months and I was thrilled with the outcome! I would (and in fact already have) highly recommend her for any of the legal areas in which she practices.

Let me begin by saying that I had consulted previously with a place I found from googling "top sexual harassment lawyers" that told me I had no case (too bad for them!!). I thought I would give it another shot (believing I truly had a good case), and found Ginger here on Avvo. She gave me such a sense of relief after our first point of contact. Not only did she explain all of my options, including but not limited to the ones where she felt I could rectify my situation without a lawyer, but she did so unbiasedly. I never felt that she was trying to push me in one way or the other, and she made sure I had adequate time to think about any of my steps moving forward. After deciding on pursuing my case, she set up a two hour zoom meeting where she heard every aspect of my story. I never once felt judged, or belittled. I could tell she was thorough in asking me the types of questions in order to get information I wouldn't have even though of mentioning prior. The compilation of events was put together in an extremely professional well-written letter to the harasser. Throughout the time of negotiations, Ginger was always prompt to fill me in with any news, answer any questions I had, and always gave her honest opinion on given situations. Long story short, in about 4-5 months we reached a mutually satisfactory outcome. I could not be happier with her effectiveness and professionalism. Ginger is not only a great lawyer, but a compassionate and caring individual. She fought so hard for me and made sure I would be happy with the results. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you Ginger, you are the BEST!

Zubin Billimoria and his team did an amazing job with my divorce. I asked to maintain a high level of respect and professionalism as I have a college student who I didn't want placed in a parent battle.
They closed a very difficult situation that was a long time coming with respect and fairness for each side. We are now able to get on with our lives and put this behind us.
Megan, Karen and Pam from the office supported my family in every way they could. I never believed that kind of support during this difficult time could ever exist.
I highly recommend this firm for any of your needs. We are very thankful for all of them!

I have read all the other reviews and I wish I could give 10 stars. I was with a larger law firm after a very difficult time in my life, and it was all about the money and the fact that they couldn’t make enough so they couldn’t take my case. It was like that saying when God closes a door somewhere he opens a window. It was then I found this incredible law firm and my attorney was Tiffanie Benfer. She walked me through everything. She called me. It was incredibly shocking because attorneys don’t call people. They have other people call you. The whole we will have our people call your people. I could ask a question in an email or text on the weekend and get a call back ON THE WEEKEND! Tiffanie was with her family but took the time to answer my question because I was concerned and scared. She would actually apologize if it took her a few days because she had been in court or have her staff call me to say she’s in court and then she would call me that night after a long day my Attorney would call me on her family time. She didn’t push me to accept settlements or decisions she knew were wrong just to get my case over with. The staff was incredible. It’s like dealing with people who really care about you.. Thank you.

I had the great luck to have Tiffanie undertake my case. I could not have asked for a more tenacious, hard-working attorney. Tiffanie is a terrific person, had only my best interests in mind, and was always very patient in explaining everything in a clear, concise way. The amount of effort that she will spend on your behalf is amazing. Tiffanie, her fellow attorneys at Hardwick Benfer, and all of their great support staff are not only very professional in everything they do, but they are also very approachable and easy to work with. If you're looking for a fighter for your cause, you won't find anyone better than Tiffanie. Believe me, you won't regret hiring Tiffanie and her firm to represent you.

Did her job exceptionally well, the outcome of the case was everything I wanted. She is exact and to the point. I looked else where. However, many others worried more about their pocket than my case.

Weeks after my case she still advises me. She is a wonderful person.

I hired Jim Lieber a number of years ago in regard to an education work-place discrimination matter that touched on any number of intricate points tied to the school’s standards/politics/contracts/personalities. Jim proved masterful at bringing justice to the situation. He was able to air the details that proved greatly (and appropriately) embarrassing to the opposing side while couching all such information within the proper legal/contractual framework to maximize the effectiveness of the complaints I was raising before all the right authorities. For anyone facing a work-place situation they think may be worth addressing legally, I cannot imagine a better attorney to have than Jim Lieber.

Based on my concerns with the curriculum and services my son received through the public school district, I contacted The Education Lawyers. My son's IEP did not appropriately reflect his needs with regression periods due to COVID-19 and remote learning. Mr. Jacobson walked me through every step of the way, going above and beyond advocating for our family. While the process took some time, Mr. Jacobson pushed to get the best outcome in compensatory education funds for my son. I'd highly recommend Jacobson and John to any family seeking legal special education representation.

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.
