Victor helped my mom win a personal injury settlement against a major retail chain. I am incredibly grateful for his outstanding legal support and guidance throughout the process. His diligence and attention to detail in gathering information about the incident both from my mom and the relevant medical professionals and organizations was instrumental in the favorable settlement he achieved on her behalf. We'd highly recommend working with Victor.

Victor was a tremendous help. After my car accident, I initially felt overwhelmed and reluctant to deal with anything related to the incident, anticipating it to be a hassle. However, once I mustered up the confidence to reach out to Victor and put in some effort, it became evident that he would be able to assist me—and he truly did. Although the process was somewhat lengthy, Victor consistently excelled in providing timely updates throughout the case. I definitely would recommend Victor to anyone who needs him.

We hired CaseLaw for an injury claim against a corporation. We were quite pleased with the experience working with Jeffrey, Wil and their entire staff. From our first meeting, we felt very comfortable and respected, not only as clients but as humans. They seemed to take a personal, genuine interest in us. Throughout the case we had many detailed questions and inquiries for opinion/advice, and not once did we feel that we were inconveniencing them. Their responses were always informative, timely and to the point.
Jeffrey and Wil are very knowledgable with a high standard of ethics in their deliberation and guidance. While they were very serious about our case, their relaxed approach and smiles were welcome during what could have been a stressful experience.
Unfortunately, a 5 star rating is max… I would add 3 planets and 2 meteors!

Sam was a lifesaver as my lawyer. Right from the start, he was super professional and really knew his stuff. What I really appreciated was how he didn't pretend to have all the answers. If he was unsure, he'd reach out to other lawyers to get the best advice, which was awesome.
He was great at explaining all the legal jargon and made sure I understood what was going on. Plus, he was always a step ahead in the game, which paid off big time.
Most importantly, Sam was always there to keep me in the loop. It felt more like having a friend in the legal world who genuinely cared about my case. Honestly, if you're in a tough spot and need legal help, Sam's your guy. He's not just a great lawyer but a great person to have on your side.

Jessica is an outstanding attorney. I had the pleasure of working with her during a lengthy visa delay, and my experience was exceptional. She possesses a deep understanding of immigration law, coupled with genuine empathy, and consistently responds to inquiries with thoroughness and promptness. Her rates are also very reasonable, making her an even better choice. If you're facing any immigration-related challenges, Jessica is the advocate you'd want on your side.

I'm blown away by Jessica's exceptional service! A friend referred me to her, and from our initial conversation on September 4th, 2024, to the resolution of my immigration case on October 1st, the entire process was seamless.
Jessica's team kept me informed every step of the way.
Fled my case on September 4th (ahead of time)
Defendants served on September 12th with a 60-day response window
Case resolved on October 1st.
The efficiency, communication, and professionalism displayed by Jessica and her team are truly impressive. I rarely leave reviews, but this experience deserves recognition.
If you're seeking reliable and effective legal representation, look no further than Jessica's law firm.
Thank you, Jessica, for changing my life!

Jessica Arenas is absolutely amazing! After facing long delays with my green card application, she recommended filing a mandamus. Once I provided all my case details, she had the paperwork done and ready to submit in less than 24 hours. I received my green card in under 40 days thanks to her efficiency and expertise!
A special shout-out to Delana, who handled my triage. She was super friendly, professional, and made the initial process so smooth. The whole team is fantastic, and I highly recommend them for any immigration needs!

When we were confronted with a brand new car that started having multiple service issues and appeared to be a lemon we didn't know what to do. Elliot was responsive from the get go, returning my calls and emails quickly and guiding us through the process. We are grateful for his expertise and would highly recommend Conn Law for any consumer law issues.

His in-depth knowledge of both automotive and legal matters was evident throughout the entire process. He navigated the complexities of the situation with finesse and provided me with clear, strategic guidance at every turn. Elliot’s dedication to my case, evident throughout the process, led to a favorable outcome that exceeded my expectations. This lawyer's professionalism, communication skills, and genuine concern for my and my wife’s well-being truly set them apart.

Our eviction case pushed Curt & his co-counsel team to their limits in every way, & they pulled through w/ flying colors. Our case, while practically over in our favor, instead of being a normally 1 month long UD, still lingers on after ~8 months not because of Curt, but because our opponent was ruled to be one of the most mean/obstructive Landlord attorneys out there, w/ over 20 years experience, & have an endless dirty playbook they launch against tenants which puts them at the top of the list of infamous, notorious Landlord attorneys- they are also a high volume Landlord side firm w/ HUGE resources & they do everything possible to bury & overwhelm their opponent, to run up costs & force missed response deadlines. For the first 4 mo, just to keep up w/ them, Curt had to dedicate his complete resources to our case (virtually shutting down his legal practice). Curt was able to get each of their mean legal tactic stricken down, & then, icing on the cake, got the judge to slap them w/ one of the largest (if not the largest) sanctions (penalties, like contempt of court) ever for their mean/obstructive behavior. Judges almost never give much sanctions, so Curt (& team) winning us that monster one was no small feat.
I was present at many of his most important court motion hearings in our case, and closely read through the endless court hearing and deposition transcripts, digesting his responses, counter arguments, & lines of questioning. I could go on endlessly about all the twists & turns that he had to overcome, but suffice it to say that given our case has pushed all the boundaries of UD law/process, he has demonstrated himself to me to be an extremely competent, legally knowledgeable, adept, tenacious, & caring lawyer (& person). He has great instincts w/ the SF civil Judges, depositions, and real-time litigation strategy. W/ Judges, he’s actually very respectful, takes allot of abuse, rides the line to stay on their good side and builds a solid history and rapport. In depos, he’s got amazing instincts.
His instincts to discover criminal/foul play in physical evidence were also very impressive. I was also amazed at how he can dig into and own all the endless facts of our extremely complex case. Most all other attorneys would just gloss it over, and ignore/miss key (even hidden) evidence.
He also great on client communications stuff, and is very open to client input & guidance when helpful, yet is always polite and frank when it is not. He is extremely respectful, and has almost zero ego/elitist trips of most lawyers. No games or angles… he’s a strait shooter!
He knows his court procedure pretty well, and is a tenacious fighter. When it comes to fighting the most notorious landlord firms, he only takes clients that are willing (and able) to go all the way to jury trial, and we wanted a firm that had effectively scrapped w/ them before, and could handle jury trial. I had interviewed literally dozens of top notch attorneys (most billing $300 - $450/hr, and many were obvious rip offs, looking to take as much $ as possible, and don’t care about results), and even the most experienced in SF UD cases (e.g., 15-20+ yrs exp) had only gone to jury trial once, and the rest had no jury trial experience, just doing some bench trials, which is no good for the bogus nuisance UD case maliciously slapped on us. He has close co-counsel associates who fill in gaps where his is practice not as strong. In our case, he teamed up w/ Marc Branco to shore up UD law practice. So, that combined w/ his jury trial experience (and their hunger to kick their butt), is what sold me on their ‘dynamic duo’ to go up against them. His criminal law experience was very pertinent to our very (fact driven) nuisance UD case, and he’s adept at picking apart (hostile) witnesses an triangulating to converge on favorable facts to the case.
So, in sum, I can vouch that Curt (& team) are very competent re UD legal practice, highly ethical, they get results.

I cannot express my gratitude enough to Victor and his team. They truly went above and beyond to help me with a case that was far from easy to prove. Their dedication, expertise, and unwavering commitment to my case were remarkable.
From the initial consultation, Victor and his team took the time to thoroughly understand the complexities of my situation. They provided me with clear guidance on the potential outcomes and a realistic assessment of my situation, which helped me make informed decisions throughout the process.
What impressed me the most was their tireless advocacy on my behalf. Victor and his team left no stone unturned, conducted meticulous research, and navigated through the legal intricacies with finesse. They handled everything with determination and professionalism, even when all seem hopeless.
I'm thrilled to say that their hard work paid off, and I received compensation that I never thought possible. This outcome was a testament to Victor and his team's expertise and their ability to handle challenging cases.
Moreover, the communication throughout the entire process was exceptional. They kept me informed at every step, promptly answered my questions, and eased my anxieties. I felt supported and empowered throughout the journey.
If you're in need of legal representation and are facing a complex or challenging situation, I wholeheartedly recommend Victor. They are a dedicated team of legal experts who will fight with passion, skill, and unwavering commitment.

Hopefully, you will never have the need for a criminal attorney however, if you do, I highly recommend Severa Keith. I recently found myself in a pickle and needed some legal counsel and sound advice. Right from the beginning I knew I was in good hands and dealing with a professional that not only had perseverance but also displayed compassion for my situation. I was scared. The criminal court room and judge can be a very intimidating process. However, Severa navigated and orchestrated the legal system with precision and delivered on every promise. I am extremely grateful that I had Severa representing me.

I found Ms. Keith to be extremely honest and informative, she gave me advice about my 19y/o grandson's case. Gave me useful insight and helped me make a decisions on how to proceed. She didn't try to get my money from me with empty promises as other lawyers did. She basically told me to stick with the public defender(unheard of, right) then to get him out of jail and get him in N.A. meetings, a job, and back to school. All of which will help show good intentions to the court. I was so impressed with her candor, conduct, and ethics. I just can't say enough positive comments on her behalf. If anyone needs a great lawyer who will tell you the absolute truth, who's not money hungry or greedy, and genuinely cares about her clients she's your lady.

Severa Keith is an exceptional criminal defense lawyer. I was in dire need of legal advise due to the fact that I’m extremely ignorant when it pertains to the legal system. Severa was very helpful, knowledgeable and carrying. She made me feel at easy with my situation with her knowledge of the legal system and her experience with the local attorneys and judges in San Francisco. It was a pleasure working with Severa Keith.

Professional, empathetic, and a relentless advocate, Naomi took hold of my case and rid my life of an extremely detrimental problem.
It's cliché but true: sometimes the mistakes of the past come back to haunt us. And after making a stupid mistake when I was 19 and being arrested, pleading no contest, completing my sentence, having my record expunged by the court, and staying out of trouble for 20 years, my record resurfaced. So much for expungement.
A friend recommended I see Naomi. She listened intently, asked insightful and pertinent questions, and learned all she could from me. She tracked my 20-year-old case down (no small feat I'm told) and then came back with even more information from the court so she knew every inch of my dilemma.
She gave me multiple options, guided me through her process, explained why she was choosing the route she was, walked me through possible outcomes, and kept me updated every step of the way.
I'm happy to say she made the expungement stick this time. I'm no longer burdened by the dumb mistake I made and do not have to worry that my record might still be out there in the ether somewhere. I would highly recommend Naomi to friends, family and colleagues who need an attorney.
Thank you, Naomi!

Carlos won our case for us when we were pushed out of our home by our landlord in San Francisco. A rent controlled home that I resided in for over 10 years starting in 2004. He didn't give up on us in a battle of a very big SF real estate company versus an individual family and and in the end we came out on top. He is very professional and a very kind person.

I felt at peace knowing that he was handling my issues. He is exceptionally skilled in dealing with universities, committees, offices, and national boards.

In early 2014, I retained Monique Alonso regarding a Trust matter. I needed to obtain earlier versions of testamentary documents in order to make an informed decision about pursuing a Trust contest. I was told by all the other attorneys I interviewed that I was not legally entitled to the documents until I filed a formal Trust contest. Monique came up with an ingenious strategy to successfully obtain the documents I needed in order to make an educated decision about my case.
Monique is a trustworthy, extraordinarily competent, and committed advocate. She genuinely cared about me and my case. Monique’s unwavering commitment to the success of my case made me feel confident I had made the right choice. I knew I was in great hands legally which made me feel safe and protected legally and financially.

Monique and her entire team were phenomenal. We were involved in a very complex international business. Things did not go the way we had hoped and everyone came out of the woodwork trying to get a piece of us. Monique and her firm were truly expert in boiling the multiple cases down to several key issues, consolidating some of the cases and then vigorously built a solid fact based defense. They worked tirelessly for 4 years until the case finally came to trial and then performed brilliantly during trial. Their knowledge of the facts was so deep that they were able to not only dissect the oppositions positions, but get their witnesses to change their positions on the stand because of the overwhelming evidence they were able to refer to at a moments notice. We won at trial overwhelmingly., so much so that we were subsequently awarded both expenses and virtually all of our attorney's fees (like seven figures worth of attorney's fees). Huge win! Awesome attorney!

Monique and her entire law office are very professional, informative and helpful. She was honest and fought very hard for us. She always kept us informed and answered all my questions( and I had at least a 1000). She represented our family in a civil rights case and we came out with a great settlement. I would not only recommend her I would use her firm again. In an attorney you want someone you feel is on your side and she did that for us.

I was recently in a difficult--and frankly, scary--dispute with my landlord, and initially felt completely intimidated and overwhelmed by the situation. I talked to a number of attorneys, including several of the more well-known tenant's rights firms in the Bay Area, many of whom gave me the run-around, or agreed to handle some aspects of the case but not others.
I'm very grateful that I finally connected with Jason. He took on the entirety of the case, and developed an overall strategy to navigate the complexities of the situation. He handled the case with great skill and competence, and brought it to a very positive conclusion. He's a clear, strategic thinker, fair-minded, and not intimidated by the bullying tactics one encounters in these situations. And he really is just a good guy, and treats his clients very fairly and honorably.
If you find yourself in this kind of situation, look him up!

I hired Matt to represent me in a case involving a school and a fellow student's false accusations against me. Without going into too much detail about the case itself, I can say that Matt was an unexpected blessing. Not only did he immediately want to listen to my side and hear me out, he also realized from our first meeting that this entire situation had devastated me. He was available to talk 24/7, whenever I had a meltdown and needed him. He definitely didn't have to do that, but he seemed to genuinely care about not only my case but my own personal well being.
I can't say enough positive things about Matthew Cebrian. He was knowledgeable, trustworthy, and committed to doing everything he possibly could for me. I didn't get the result I wanted from the school, but in the end I didn't even care: I knew Matthew had done everything in his power.
If you're being wronged by a corporation, entity, school, or business, I would strongly urge you to seek Matthew's counsel. If nothing else, you won't regret meeting him.

Thanks much sir.

Khaldoun & Matthew represented us in a wrongful death case. They were exceptional attorney's. They were both very attentive to our needs and extremely sensitive to our case since it was involving the death of our son. They went above and beyond what we expected and got us the best outcome that was possible. They left no stone unturned in their investigation and gathering of evidence. I have the utmost respect and confidence in them. They both have a lot of integrity and were very honest and real with us. They have a lot of compassion and even reduced the fees that they took in the end. That was huge in my book. I very highly recommend them.

I had been facing a very unusual, complicated legal issue that had dragged on for many years before I sought Mr. Vlasak's advice. Statutes of several different states were involved and a thicket of elaborate legal documents needed to be consulted before my case could come to any resolution. For me, Ryan Vlasak's expertise proved indispensable - he took the case apart like a toddler's toy! Everything Ryan predicted would happen, happened in my case, and there were no surprises. This attorney is simply amazing. I was very lucky to have had such a caring professional on my side. We all hope that we never have to face situations like mine, but if we do, we better make sure to have someone like B&V on our side.

I have launched 4 start-up companies. Rich Saffir was my attorney for my first company which was a successful venture. He is extremely capable and professional, and believe me, this is the guy you want on your side of the table in any business negotiation. It's been 10 years and a dozen attorneys since he last worked for me and I can now fully appreciate his knowledge and skills compared to others. Location/logistics have kept me from retaining Rich recently but that will change shortly and I expect to hire him again.

As a small media tech startup with complex intellectual property needs, we couldn't afford high prices or to cut corners. Erin Brinza and her team at Creative Industry Law provided my company with high quality legal services at a very fair price. I now have the contracts to move forward with confidence and I look forward to working with her for the years to come. I couldn't recommend Erin more highly.

One of Attorney Khadder's CELA colleagues (a fellow attorney) highly recommended him. During the free consultation, Attorney Khadder took the time to understand my case, reviewing all of the relevant documents and weighing the pros and cons of various options. During this process, he really took the time to listen and empathize, even when I was rambling! Attorney Khadder followed through on all of his promises and ultimately obtained a positive result for me. I really appreciate how he communicated clearly at every stage of the case. If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of needing to contact an employment attorney, I would suggest giving Attorney Khadder a call.

Our construction company, RRA Construction, had to sue a non-paying client and Thomas came as a referral from another attorney for our case. If you are going through or have gone through a case, then you would know how imperative it is to be armed with a winning attorney. Even though we were stressed out of our minds, Thomas reassured us. He helped keep us calm throughout the process. RRA Construction was impressed with Thomas's extensive knowledge and in utilizing his services, we have become a better company in the end. We have Thomas to thank for helping us with our case.

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.
