Angelo handled a workers comp case for me recently and is by far one of the best attorneys I’ve ever come across. He is easy to talk to, works fast and efficiently and is immensely professional in every sense of the word . I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for counsel.

Angelo was so helpful in negotiating my worker's comp settlement. I wish I had found him when I began this journey rather than navigating it on my own. If you're looking for top tier, professional help with your workers comp case, I highly recommend Simone & Simone.

So many good things to say about Anthony Conte and his law firm. My family and I can’t thank him enough for his expertise and guidance. Anthony doesn’t treat you like a number or a case; he treats you like family.
He approached our case with an open mind and was very efficient in assessing and navigating its complexity. Moreover, he was able to connect the dots in a world where another well-known law firm had failed. He was fearless and unreserved in his pursuit of understanding the facts of our case.
His expertise, resources, and commitment to justice are second to none. He is driven by a true passion to help others, not by greed. He stands out in a field full of his peers.
Just when we thought there was no hope for justice, he became the light we needed. We had almost given up until we were fortunate enough to have Anthony on our side.
At the end of the day, he checks all the boxes. Thank you, Anthony!

The Conte Law Firm exceeded my expectations in legal counseling. I would recommend The Conte Law Firm to anyone looking for professional, trustful legal counseling in the areas of insurance claims, personal injuries, civil litigation, and other areas of law.
Thank you, Anthony and the great people at Conte Law Firm for everything you have done for me and my family.” They are Professional, courteous, friendly, fast, knowledgeable, punctual, very empathic to my situation, and offer top-notch legal advice.
A pipe burst in my house and my insurance company denied my claim. Immediately Conte Law Firm took up my case and started demanding action from the Insurance Company. I was amazed by the professionalism that Conte Law Firm provided. Everything Anthony advised me happened! There wasn't one moment throughout this process where I felt that Anthony didn't prepare me or advise me correctly. He tells you that it is not what you want to hear and I admired and respected that about Anthony. He was very thorough and very experienced. Anthony knows what he’s talking about.
The Conte Law Firm was a step ahead of the competition and the insurance company. When I spoke to Anthony I felt like I was talking with a family member or a good friend. He is that easy to talk to! You could genuinely feel that Anthony wanted the best for me and more importantly wanted to maximize the return on my claim.
The Conte law firm is a law firm that is not driven or motivated by money. Anthony is a genuine person with a good moral compass that puts the customer's needs before his needs. He is willing to work with your situation and come to an agreement that best fits the client's needs.
This is by far my go-to law firm if I need any legal representation in the area of personal injury or insurance claims. I recommend Conte Law firm without a doubt.

When my son was diagnosed with a rare disability, I was told I would be his best advocate. Sometimes being an advocate isn’t enough, and a legal expert is necessary, and that’s where Ellen comes in. She truly cared m about my child’s needs, and made sure I could ensure those needs were met. I highly recommend!

Ms. Saideman represented both of my high functioning Autistic sons' in their individual SSI cases. This is after, other, bigger, law firms turned us down. She worked tirelessly to help them through their cases. My wife and I were very pleased with her efforts throughout this experience. She patiently answered our questions, set expectations, and addressed our fears as well as each of the boy's. In each case I was very impressed with her competence in the courtroom as she methodically addressed the expert testimony and the judge's questions. I would definitely recommend Ms. Saideman to anybody in a similar situation as us.

My Son and and I met Ellen Saideman due to a Plan drawn up at his high school, by his Teacher and the school Therapist. This Plan stated that due to my Autistic Sons' stress level and social anxieties, that he be limited in attending class functions such as field trips, and outings where he could be taught to interact in social situations. This Plan excluded him from such activities by denying him to go on all day activities outside of the school, by suggesting that he remain at home on said day or if it was raining or snowing, he was not to attend school on those days, as he had anxiety on those days. As we know, this drawn up an between Teacher and Therapist was unacceptable and unlawful. Attorney Saideman assured this school and it's faculty that it was indeed against the law and against Special Needs groups to have such a Plan in place.
Attorney Saideman, my Son, certain members of school faculty and myself, sat down to a meeting of what was and was not acceptable and all that it entailed in this situation and all was resolved.
Ellen Saideman was also instrumental in taking the time to get to know my Son by reading all school records and by including him in our meetings.
We were both appreciative in the assistance and guidance that was offered us by Ellen. She is very knowledgeable, professional and sensitive to the needs of those who cannot speak for themselves.
I would without hesitation, recommend Ellen Saideman in her representation of others in need of her services.
Sincerely,
Sandra

Very professional, knowledgeable, confident and most importantly COMPASSIONATE and kind to a very nervous old lady. I was terrified of being questioned. I tend to babble incoherently when i'm nervous. Joshua went over my testimony in detail and gave me the confidence I needed to get through the appeal process. We won! Thank you so much Joshua.

Robert ( Bob) Verri is very thorough with your personal claim. He always takes the Time to Call you with any information re: your Case. I’ve hired Attorney Verri a couple of times from auto accidents ~ I was Hit twice, on the drivers side, different times of course and he gave me suggestions of physical therapy doctors which helped a lot. He doesn’t ask for any money upfront. Also, his Team is very nice and ready to Help at any given moment.

It was a true pleasure and positive experience to be represented by Attorney Jeanne Scott. In addition to her salient knowledge of law, Scott possesses that rarely encountered balance of being both smart and personable. Add to this her holistic approach using patience in listening, kindness in attitude and careful consideration of the facts before devising a tactful strategy, and you have a recipe for one of the sharpest minded and thoughtful legal practitioners in Rhode Island.
At a fairly established rate (given and fully explained from the start), Scott has taken the time to meet in person and talk via-phone multiple times, as needed, to truly grasp the facts of my case; never leaving me to worry about the cost of each elapsing minute -as too often occurs with attorneys. The boundaries were initially set and wholly adhered to.
Anyone looking for an intelligent, highly knowledgeable and fair-minded attorney to represent them need look no further than AttorneyJeanne Scott.

Mike is a real genuine human who is really in the business to help others. He is compassionate, dedicated, and hard working. Additionally, he is timely, a great communicator, and honest. I had a really tragic work situation occur and he fought for me with all he had. I had worked with an attorney prior to this who simply was not committed to helping me, and when I chose to confide in Mike, he gave me hope. I would recommend him to any family or friends who are in need of an outstanding attorney -- you will not regret working with him!!!

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.

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.

- 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.
