I cannot recommend Jeff Stanton and his team highly enough! After my car accident, I was overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next. Jeff and his team were not only knowledgeable and professional but also incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. They were always available to answer any questions I had—no matter how big or small. Their dedication and expertise resulted in a settlement that far exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for an attorney who truly cares about their clients and will fight to get you the best possible outcome, they are the ones to call. I'm beyond grateful for their help and the peace of mind they provided during a difficult time.

This self-proclaimed criminal lawyer is in fact a lawyer CRIMINAL, and will soon be held to account for the wanton crimes and violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct that he's committed against his own client(s). Write to me and I will provide you all the evidence and transcripts you need to confidently avoid this fraud like the cancer that he is. This man is so astonishingly incompetent, lazy and derelict that he will literally single-handedly get you convicted of any imaginary or false criminal accusation.
When it comes time to account for his incompetence in court, this man will openly lie and commit perjury in order to fabricate bizarre, blatantly false and slanderous evidence and allegations against his own client just to make the client look stupid or guilty, solely designed to deflect blame and accountability from himself for his own monumental dumbfounding and bewildering errors and omissions comprising his "INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL." If you're going to use this man anyway, you need to fully research this quoted term, because you're going to need to be fully versed in it.
It is highly unlikely that this man has actually gained a law degree by virtue of his profound lack of skill and common sense. Instead of preparing for your case, Koschier will remain at his apartment, by himself glued to his gaming console. I speak from experience. This man is a complete fraud, despite his enigmatic overconfidence in the skills and capabilities which he simply does not possess. If you have NO OTHER CHOICE but to hire this man, then I highly recommend as a fellow American citizen, that you just go to court alone and try your case pro se, because that's going to be your only chance of a positive, just outcome short of hiring a professional. Not only will Christopher W. Koschier destroy your life, but when the opportunity arrives for him to be able to correct his own mistakes and get you out of prison, he will not only abandon you but will overtly sabotage your efforts at getting a false conviction vacated.
Be warned my friends, Christopher Koschier is NOT a professional, ethical or honorable man or attorney. He is a lonely self-proclaimed "gamer" with no friends or colleagues, plain and simple. An analogy that was proffered to me in retrospect by a real lawyer: If you were going to have brain surgery, would you really select a doctor fresh out of school with no meaningful experience, or whose first few cases ended badly? Chew on that as you ponder whether you really want to risk your entire life, reputation, career, family, fortune and future by allowing this man anywhere near you or your case. I wish you all the best with your case. Please, keep researching elsewhere. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing that I didn't do everything in my power to save another person (you) from being this dolt's next victim.
Every word of this review is factual and represents my honest opinion based entirely on personal experience working with him prior to learning who he really is.

Mr. Koschier is one of a kind. He is seriously intelligent, and very passionate about his work. It really shows with the extensive efforts he makes in a case. He does not sugar coat the truth, and is fierce in defense tactics and absolutely thorough. Mr. Koschier is always prompt to respond to questions and offers clear, helpful advice. I would not hire anyone else. He is unbelievable in his skills and the work he puts forth. He is also very easy to talk to, as he does not exert any arrogance as some attorneys tend to do. He actually files motions and challenges the other side with carefully detailed facts. I very highly recommend hiring this attorney if your case matters to you.

Terrible attorney! Don’t waste your money! She was great before we paid her and as soon as she got our money she pretty much didn’t care about my case! She acted like the da and not my attorney and in court I did most of the talking thank god or I would’ve went upstate for a dui!!! Don’t waste your money!! She’ll say all the right things and answer your calls and texts before you pay her and once you pay you’ll feel straight up abandoned! In the courtroom you can tell she’s extremely new or just plain not very good!! Beware of this lady, she’s no good! If I could give her zero stars I would!

If he is your court appointed child’s advocate in child welfare, you're in trouble. He's been on our case for 3 yrs unfortunately and has never laid eyes on our 7 yr old. No checkin, conversation, nothing. He sat in the last hearing scrolling videos. Another lawyer looked him with disgust. Kids in foster care need advocacy and he seems to not have an ounce of care. Im not sure how the judged allowed him to say and do nothing for 3 years without asking if he's even seen the child. The system itself sucks, but with court appointed attorney's like Mr. D'adamo, the kids suffer more. If I can give less than 1 star, I would.

Mario is a hardworking and knowledgeable attorney. I have most appreciated his honesty and integrity regarding exactly what to expect for each step in the legal process. I would recommend him to anyone needing legal representation. He has a vast area of legal expertise, and practices in many areas including criminal, custody, and personal injury. If you’re in need of an attorney who is upfront and going to work hard for you, Mario is the man!

He’ll straight take your money and run. It’s funny. I left a review years ago about it but it has since disappeared. This dude is a huge piece of work. He literally took our money and went back to Pittsburgh and removed himself from the case. What a creep! These “5” star reviews are paid. I would put money on it.

I had hired Ryan back in 2009 to handle a bankruptcy and during a very difficult time he made it seem less stressful always answering questions, keeping me informed and going above and beyond, lord knows I had to be a difficult client as the 5 years it took to go through there were plenty of downs to get through and he was always there. I am a very picky person I have to feel comfortable and trust my legal representation and this encompasses Ryan. I will be using him again and recommending him for any need that arises

I retained Ryan Paddick. Personally I think that he is a very good lawyer. I stood In a very racist county, accused of a crime that didn't even take place. Every face in the courtroom was white, except for me and my family. Ryan had never experienced racism because he was white himself. But I saw him treated differently when he refused to play their little game. At first it was all business, Ryan read all of the facts of the case and the law in Pa. It seemed like a sure win based on the law. However we both would soon see that in some counties racism is still alive and strong. I saw other white lawyers giving Ryan dirty looks and treating him different. However he never wavered. In fact he cared. At one point outside of the courtroom he said said " I know this wouldn't be happening if you were white". I watched this man fight back tears giving his closing arguments to an all white courtroom,. The prosecutor had the nerve to accuse me of being the racist. So many things were being done underhandedly. Even part of the discovery had been withheld from other black Attorneys. Well all of a sudden when Ryan Paddick who is white shows up without the black lawyers they call him in the judges chamber and missing discovery shows up, but only to try to persuade him to stick with the good old boys and his own kind. Ryan left that chamber and shared what was discussed and the missing discovery with the other black attorneys. Why am I putting all of this on here? Because I believe based on my personal experience that Ryan M. Paddick is an outstanding lawyer. He could have turned a blind eye and act like this was all normal, but he spoke up and called it like it was. Even though I did not win in that courtroom, Ryan did not hesitate to come stand by my side to appeal the ruling in that racist courtroom. During the appeal it became known by the states key witness that coaching and misconduct on the part of the prosecution had taking place during the trial. So I'm speaking up fir Ryan Paddick because the loss wasn't on him. The good old boys had an axe to grind, but they are being exposed. Thanks Ryan for being not only a good lawyer, but a decent Human Being, and not being influenced by those evil ones who sought to destroy me and my family. (BUCKKKS COUNTY)

Attorney Noah Mattew Geary was professional and caring when I spoke with him. Not only did he actively listen to my case, but he also gave me suggestions and advice in general. When he explained it was not his area of law and could not represent me, he referred me to other lawyers who could possibly take my case and let me use his name as a reference.

Awful experience after being a client for many years, and I could not recommend them to anyone. I was charged over $1000 to end services for some simple trademark renewals. The attorney of record changes had already been made, meaning there was practically nothing left to do. If your business needs patent or trademark services, I would avoid Metz and find more personal services elsewhere.

My son was falsely accused of assault and Andy Shubin was recommended by the fraternity. He defended my son with the passion that he would a close friend. He kept us informed about every aspect of the case and explained our options. We chose not to plead to fabricated charges and he won a full acquittal with his questioning and passionate closing. He saved my son’s future and we will always be grateful! BTW...his office staff is terrific also!

Don’t think twice about putting your faith and trust in Attorney Andrew Shubin! Finding myself the target of manufactured charges of harassment and simple assault, I was both terrified and devastated at how quickly my life was coming unraveled. The consequences of someone filing false charges, fabrication of elaborate evidence and needing to defend myself against accusers with perceived community and professional clout, became overwhelming. Mr. Shubin came highly recommended through a friend. Throughout my initial consultation; my concerns, questions and anxiety were instantly put to rest. Genuine care, expert resources ( from private detective to poly graph testing ) and incredible proficiency in every aspect; hands down the BEST defense lawyer there is! Do not mistake his kindness and compassion. I personally witnessed his humble demeanor transform into a relentless, fierce ally for truth and justice in the courtroom. Mr. Shubin exposed my accusers, their “ evidence” & witnesses, putting them on public display as absolute perjury. Amazing to witness. Amazing to win. Amazing to reclaim my life back. Priceless!

Andy really helped me out of a jam. It was a long 4 year process but he always kept in contact and up to date. He is a great lawyer he has the experience to tell you how a case might go and what your actually looking at. I was charged with 7 different felonies. Andy by somehow got that reduced to 3 felonies with no jail time. People always tell me that I must have had one the best lawyers. It is very true!! I highly recommend Andy he will not let you down! He will always look out for your best interest and the best deal. Hire Andy as your lawyer .. I never write reviews but I honestly had to he was that awesome.

Elizabeth Molnar advised me to address my criminal case by initiating a PFA case. I spent $$$ for a paragraph and sat an entire day in court to submit it. They appeared with me on the scheduled hearing date, knowing it would be postponed, and charged me another $$$.
She told me I needed to hire a criminal lawyer 2 days before my case because they didn’t have one to send, that was another $$$$. But that firm showed up, exceeded the desired expectations THIS firm requested to win the PFA, and did it with one court visit that lasted 30 minutes.
The PFA hearing was postponed again, another full day in court, then wasn’t given clear billing expectations moving forward. She handed off the case to Meghan Zupanic. An emergency arises, there’s a PFA violation, Elizabeth was on vacation, Meghan took 2 days to respond, the lack of action resulted in a PFA being filed against me.
Told them I planned to change firms, Elizabeth offered me a lower flat fee, promised to address my concerns about lack of urgency or communication, I paid them another $$$$. They made no effort to communicate or keep me informed, likely because they weren’t doing anything to prepare or ensure the desired outcome for the cases.
I did the investigative research that Elizabeth suggested, said she would do, and then didn’t. I researched claims and accusations, pointed out lyes, and provided evidential proofs that could be used in my case. Meghan was so ill prepared for the case that the judge was genuinely frustrated. While my character was being ripped to shreds, the JUDGE asked why she wasn’t objecting. She had dates wrong, hadn’t reviewed crucial parts of the case. The conclusion? Another full day in court. My case for the PFA violation was dismissed and a Temp PFA was granted against me.
They have negated any validation I had of being a victim from the criminal trial. I relived all my trauma to provide them the resources to protect me from being fearful of them ever happening again. He got to walk away smiling, calling himself the victim, while I have to live with the perpetual fear of being arrested if he sees me somewhere.
While I hate to leave such a terrible review, its impact will pale in comparison to how their terrible service has impacted me. They refused to provide me any billing details. They couldn’t speak to a single reason or cause for their negligence other than blaming the JUDGE. They dwindled the possibility of a partial refund so I could seek new counsel, they suggested they would take action to try and remedy part of the outcome, but what they really did was just exhaust any legal window I had for recourse.
The negligence, the lack of professionalism, lack of accountability, blame shifting, failure to honor the terms of the retention contract that was signed, is all just absolutely appalling. As they’ve made zero effort to remedy any of this, and have in fact made it worse, I will be filing complaints with all the necessary legal entities. I implore anyone seeking genuine help to look elsewhere.

Ana Lisa Petrella is an extremely efficient, compassionate, and knowledgeable attorney. She got me through the very important process of dealing with child support successfully. Will you be charged for phone calls and emails? Of course. But her rates are reasonable and her experience is extensive, so she will not waste your time, or hers for that matter. When you reach out, she responds within the day, sometimes the hour if you catch her between hearings. She is a warm soul that clearly wants to help her clients get what they deserve. As a woman, I wanted a woman representing me through this process. She gave me the confidence to ask for what I needed, and to not give in to my natural instincts to roll over. I'm so grateful to the person who recommended Ana Lisa to me, and now I'm paying it forward to whoever reads this. Do yourself a favor, just call her.
Her office, paralegals, and admins also deserve high praise. They keep you apprised of everything from billing, deadlines, and correspondence about your case. You'll get itemized statements monthly so there are no surprises. Let's face it, if you're seeking a lawyer, you are already stressed- Ana Lisa and her team relieve as much of that pressure as you let them. Just let them. :)
Thank you, Ana Lisa and GRB Law, for a seamless process in my case.

We hired Lavant and were impressed by his record from Philadelphia, he made it sound like we had an open and shut case. He said we could not get a better defense in Pa. He had us pay extra for 2 investigators that produced nothing. He talked about how he was so much smarter than the district attorney and there was a reason they were where they are. In the beginning he was very involved with us and slowly lost interest in our case. At the end we could rarely get a return call or text from him. When we went to trial he didn’t seem to have any preparation for cross examination and absolutely no closing argument, I was shocked. His client is doing many years for a felony that should have been a misdemeanor. We are now under appeal with a good attorney. Do not hire this attorney!

As I continue dealing with a work injury, Dugan and Associates has made and continues to make my stress level almost nonexistent. They handle and take care of everything and keep you up to date as to what and when you need to do things. People think that having a lawyer is going to be too expensive. Deal with things on your own and you will see just how expensive things are without one!!!

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.
