My family (father is a hundred percent disabled combat veteran and mother has serious heart problems) and I have been victimized by the state of Arizona and were trying to sue the individual responsible for taking our lives away. First, he indicated he was only taking certain cases if interested. Then at the end he said he had "other things going on" and was not interested in helping me or my family. Attorney Don was did not ask any relevant questions about the actual facts of the case and was not the least bit interested in learning the truth. Instead he relied on false information in the media which is why we are suing in the first place. Most upsetting from speaking with him is that he honestly could have cared less for what happened to me and my family. Based upon my conversation with him and his demeanor, I would not recommend this attorney.

I would recomend him for advice amd representation. He has a calm and careful no nonsense attitude. His respect for others and the law is sure to illicit favor from a judge and others. Possibly the defendants as well.

I went for a consultation on an extremely serious police violence case. He was insulting and said it all started over a minor incident and a jury would think it's laughable. It's not what it started over it's what the police did. 80% of police calls are civilian initiated over any number of things. His attitide is crude and demeaning.

I recently had the privilege of working with the Rafi Law Group for my accident case, and I cannot express how grateful I am for their exceptional service. From the moment I reached out, the team was incredibly responsive and attentive to my needs. They took the time to listen to my concerns and ensured I felt supported throughout the entire legal process.
Their expertise in handling accident cases was apparent as they navigated the complexities of my situation with ease. They provided me with clear explanations of my rights and the steps involved, which helped reduce my anxiety during what could have been a stressful experience.
What truly stood out to me was their commitment to fighting for my best interests. They were relentless in negotiating with the insurance companies and worked tirelessly to secure a settlement that exceeded my expectations. I felt that they genuinely cared about my well-being and were dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome for me.
I highly recommend the Rafi Law Group to anyone seeking accident attorneys who are not only knowledgeable but also compassionate and trustworthy. They made a challenging situation much more manageable, and I am incredibly thankful for their hard work and dedication. Thank you, Rafi Law Group, for being my advocates during this time!

My experience with Rafi was amazing! They made the process easy and were on top of everything the whole case. I appreciate that my payout was more than what Rafi got, they kept their commitment.

Seems like a reputable law firm with good reviews, however the staff hired is a direct reflection of the company, and their current front desk receptionist Kayla Bates came to my place over the weekend in my parking lot smoking weed and threatening to fight me and asking me if I want to come downstairs and get beat up over a man. A woman she knows is pregnant. What type of professionalism is that? I called and spoke to the executive team Holly and Tammy and was assured they would address the issue with said staff.

We were told that Cody Jess was the best attorney to use for business concerns and he exceeded every expectation that we had. He is a no non-sense, brilliant man that not only gets the best results but also teaches in order to prevent future problems. God bless America and Mr Jess.

Dedra is excellent at her job. She helped me handle a case from another state really worked with me and my busy schedule. I'd give her more than five stars if I could. Highly recommended by me.

This is my third encounter with an attorney over two different issues in the last 4 years. Deb is what I had expected! Old School, really wants to do the right thing instead of the old 'churn-and-burn' retainer methodology. I will be sending everyone I know to Deb and will absolutely user her in the future. If you are a Marvel fan, think 'Daredevil' attorney!

Don’t go to them, was going to hire them but not competent people.
Update: I am updating the review from 1 stars to 3 now, I appreciate the lawyer contacting me and explaining his policies, however I was not in agreement with his policies, he is stating that he does not have paralegals in his office. Hopefully one day he will. I do appreciate he wanted to make it better, so that is another reason why I have changed my 1 star review, but his secretary did make me mad. I think they can improve on a few things, but that is their decision.

I was in need of an experienced attorney to advise and support me following an unexpected job loss. I felt seriously wronged - with impacts on both my reputation and my income. I received several recommendations from professional colleagues and also did my own research, speaking to four attorneys in the process. By far, Chris Houk and Isa Ramirez at Houk Law were my top choice. Chris gave me excellent and constructive advice from the outset, he took the case, was explanatory with his recommendations, and he negotiated a positive outcome. Isa provided timely, well-informed, and professional support with the administrative details. Her follow-through was excellent. Thank you to both Chris and Isa. I appreciate your help.

I am in a difficult situation with an employer i have been employed by for almost 2 decades. They were awesome until l recently had more health issues and tried at every opportunity to punish me for it even in violation of the law. Chris really helped me understand my options. Knowing my rights and his understanding of the law has helped ease some of the stress from disability discrimination and a hostile work environment. Thank you Chris.

I just to say how grateful to have the opportunity to become a resident thanks to Maria Jones Law Firm. Anything is possible no matter where you come from or who you are, with this opportunity I will be able to continue chasing my dreams and hopefully get to help others like my dad who in dialysis or those who are sick. I wouldn’t be able to do this with the help of Maria Jones Law Firm, so I really really would recommend this Law Firm to anyone who wants to do something good with their future like I am. Si se puede! Gracias a dios

I like the fact that maria Jones is strict with employees that are slacking off. Every time I see her in office she is checking cases with detail and making sure employees are doing their part. Sometimes calls don't go through for some reason, but other than that service is great.

Currently working in reconsideration for my husband's disability claim. We've been working with Mary Kay since August of 2022. We have never met her. Communication isn't there, only ever when I hunt her down or she needs information. Can't help but feel like nothing is getting done and I'm going crazy looking for answers or help. I can't help but feel like we aren't important to the firm, however to my family of 6 this is our entire livelihood and him getting disability approved is the only way we will ever be able to get a home for our kids and pay our bills.. I'm terrified and I have no idea what is going on. I've repeatedly left voice-mail and even emails requesting calls with not even an acknowledgment of my request. I feel defeated and hopeless, and utterly depressed and I continue to work and try to keep my family afloat. I dont know what else to do.

I thought I paid 300 dollars for a hour consultation and ended up being only 33 minutes. I didn’t get to discuss my case in full and then was asked how much money do I want? Isn’t that the lawyer job? I tried asking to talk again to finish my case as the lawyer had my case and timeline messed up with the short time I was able to talk. He wanted me to pay for a negotiation which included no details, so I asked for more details on the steps and how it will look as I was a little confused and concerned he never heard my whole case. His response back was one sentence on the upfront fee to him and his hourly pay that’s it. He didn’t even answer the question and showed his priorities that he cared about what he gets paid.This was just a waste of money and I could have used that money for a better consultation. If you have an employment case I wouldn’t recommend this law firm.

I made an appointment with Dessaules Law Group and paid the fee to secure an initial consultation. However, my experience was nothing short of disappointing and frustrating.
Firstly, when I called in for the initial scheduled consultation, I was informed that the attorney couldn't meet me because they were running late due to another meeting and was not able to accommodate my appointment. Fair enough, these things happen but there was continued unprofessionalism from this point on.
I was asked to reschedule, which I did.The attorney was made aware at the initial rescheduling that I would be on vacation. As this consultation was of high importance to me, I arranged to still meet with them during vacation.
However, when I called in for the rescheduled appointment during my trip, there was initially no answer. After persistently trying, I finally got through, only to be told that the attorney "had stepped away from their desk and would be calling me back".
19 minutes past the scheduled time, I still hadn't received any callback. I called again to express my frustration, that it was now evident that this attorney has no sense of urgency or regard for their prospective clients' time.
Overall, my experience with this law firm was extremely disappointing. They seem to lack basic professionalism and respect for their clients' time. I would not recommend them to anyone looking for legal assistance.

Myself along with 8 neighbors, were being sued by our HOA for a wall that they claimed we all were damaging and responsible for. We filed a counter suit. It was a long, stressful process, no fault to our attorney David. My opinion is that the hoa wanted to drag it out in hopes that we either go broke or just give up. Anyway, long story short. Every judgment was in our favor. The Hoa sued us, trying to have us pay over 50k to fix or replace the wall. Now my estimation is that the hoa will have to dish around a quarter million! Gotta love Karma. I'd like to thank everyone who handled our case. Well done, everyone. Your hard work is much appreciated.

The law offices of Ray Slomski were outstanding in helping us get the only kind of justice we could for our daughter, who was severely injured due to medical malpractice. Ray fought hard for our daughter and kept her in mind in every action and word he spoke. Ray, Patti, Deana, Bucky, Adam and the rest of the team treated us with the utmost respect, and they treated our daughter so kindly. The entire team started to feel like family and I know we will always stay in touch with them. They provided us with the peace of mind knowing our daughter will have what she needs as she grows. They genuinely care and will fight for what you deserve, demonstrating patience and perseverance to fight the long fight for the families they represent. They have a passion to help families and it shows every day. I had complete trust and confidence in their abilities and they continually reinforced that trust through their actions. I would recommend this law firm to all who are seeking justice for medical injuries. You will not find a better, more caring or more honest team.

They lie about taking sepsis cases (septic shock deaths in this case). The first trip to the hospital in February my wife contacted staph and it turned sepsis while in there that alone is on the hospital. Then 6 months later she ended up back in the hospital for suspected infection due to her CRP and ESR both being well over 100 and she had a history of infections like staph, Osteomyelitis, pseudomonas all in that 6 month period but the hospital didn't run a thorough battery of tests and the issue that put her in the hospital turned sepsis then she went into septic shock and died due to not running enough tests to find the infection that started all this.The hospital didn't even take her off the long term IV antibiotic to do an accurate blood culture and antibiotics will cause a false negative for bacterial infections.

I had the unfortunate experience of being hit by a car while I was riding my bike. It was not my fault, but I did not know that all of the expenses for my medical bills would have to go through MY health insurance. The insurance company for the driver told me I would not receive any payment for my bills until I was willing to take a "one time settlement." Every time I had to call the insurance company, I felt upset and angry for hours afterward. They kept talking about protecting the interests of the driver. There was no one was looking out for my interests but me!
On the recommendation of a close friend, we contacted The Strojnik Firm L.L.C., specifically Peter K. Strojnik. After meeting with me to discuss my accident, he took on my case. From that moment on, I felt a weight lifted - someone else who was knowledgable was going to deal with all of the unpleasantness I was having to deal with. I could concentrate on my rehabilitation and recovery. The firm was very good at communicating with me about what was happening, and I am very satisfied with the settlement that was agreed on. I know without a doubt that I would not have received the amount I did without the help from Mr. Strojnik. I really suggest you contact him at 602-510-9409. He is not a typical stuffy lawyer, but he is really aggressive and really good.

Man was so rude he couldn't wait to get off the phone and didn't listen to what I was saying before I finished saying it, two sentences. I asked him a basic procedural question that he said he couldn't answer unless he reviewed my entire case. Whether you can file an appeal in bankruptcy is universal and procedural, it doesn't change "depending on your case". don't waste money on these idiots, they can only lose for you.

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.

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.
