If you have anyone else representing you then you’re wrong. He actually cares and that’s a rare trait in people nowadays.

Stephen Pfeiffer was very upfront with outcomes so we could figure out what options we were working with. We greatly appreciate what you did for us at the end. Although we didn’t get the results we were wishing for we are aware there are always consequences to not abiding to the law. I can say he did great in helping us out as much as possible when it came to my husband’s situation.

Peter has excellent communication skills and is incredibly knowledgeable. He is candid and will always give you the full picture as it stands. Whilst showing the utmost professionalism, the thing that has and continues to stand out for me is Peter’s human side; always showing genuine concern for the client. He will always go over and above to help. Mine was a difficult case which Peter helped to navigate in the best way possible. I would not hesitate to recommend Peter’s services - you will be in safe hands!

Mr. Remington helped me avoided a conviction for a moving violation with points. He charged a very reasonable fee, considering the result that he got for me. I really appreciate Mr. Remington’s efforts. I highly recommend Riley and Wells to everyone who reads this review.

Mr. Riley’s dedication and expertise made a significant difference in my case. Through his diligent efforts and strategic guidance, he was able to achieve the best possible outcome, allowing me to move forward without the burden of my original charges. His commitment to his clients is evident in the way he approaches each case with professionalism and determination. I am truly grateful for his support and highly recommend him to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and dedicated attorney.

They have good reviews but they ghosted me. I contacted them for my case online and on phone. I also followed up every week three times but they never responded. After about a month I gave up and went ahead to work with Huff Law (which happened to be a much better experience).

I am in the trenches of a divorce. I have a 5 minute hearing via phone call to schedule a two hour circuit court hearing. I have a Caroline on retainer and its nearing its end of funds. I briefly had conversations with Caroline about POSSIBLY retaining other representation for a more aggressive attorney but nothing solidified. Caroline no shows to my 5 minute hearing/phone call. Even if she thought I had retained other representation which she knew I had not, she chose to not make time for me as a paying client. I am pretty surer this skirts the laws of some kind of malpractice. What is more is that Caroline nor anyone from Ambler warned me that they WOULD NOT continue representing me for trial. t would appear that Ambler Law is deathly afraid of trial. Now I find myself without representation as I am approaching my trial. As she is successfully avoiding helping a willing paying client or the court room. If you are navigating divorce and you seek representation that plays the terroristic game of practicing law to harass the other side of marriage to avoid trial then I would submit to you this is the law firm for you. If you seek representation that seeks not to get rich but to argue cases on behalf of those who seek justice, find someone else. Depending on how my trial and divorce goes, I may pursue taking Ambler law to trial or court for malpractice. Best of luck to you.

Jon is the go-to expert for post-conviction matters in Virginia. He is exceedingly skilled, has more experience with post-conviction matters than any of his peers, and his work is as thorough as it gets. With post-conviction claims, you need a lawyer who knows exactly what to look for, searches for it with a fine-toothed comb, then has the legal acumen to turn what he found into a compelling argument for justice. That's exactly how Jon approaches every case. Highly recommended.

I recently retained Mr. Lindsey's service for a rather complicated traffic violation. Throughout the process, he was very attentive as well as empathetic to my situation. An amicable resolution could not be reached verbally, and we were forced to have a trial. Mr. Lindsey was professional and argued my case flawlessly. His ability to make an argument in the courtroom was very impressive. I must also add, since I am from Maryland and the citation was issued in Virginia, that Mr. Lindsey is very well versed in legal codes for both states, and with that knowledge, was able to negotiate an outcome that was beneficial to me. I am pleased that I selected him to assist me, and, though I hope I don't have a need for him again, I would not hesitate to retain his services again.

I am incredibly thankful for Andrew Lindsey representing me in my case, my ultimate decision to go with him was because he went through a similar case and has great experience with criminal defense. He was also the only attorney to give me an hours worth of his time free of charge to explain in full depth what my case entails and the hypotheticals that could take place. We were expected to go to court, with Mr. Lindsey's extensive knowledge with statements back and forth with the judge and prosecutor he was able to get my case dropped before the preliminary hearing and I face no charges brought against me! I am elated that I paid for a great service but because of attorneys like Andrew Lindsey that are representing you for your best defense. All my questions were answered in full depth and explained clearly. He is Calm, collective, and keeps composure with strong logical thinking! 10/10

If you're seeking excellent representation for a dog bite claim, I highly recommend Curcio Law of Alexandria. Rakin Hamad, Esquire, provided outstanding legal services and ensured I received fair compensation for a serious dog bite injury. Mr. Hamad was thorough, clearly explained the legal process, and promptly followed up on all action items. If you’re dealing with a personal injury related to a dog bite, Curcio Law and Mr. Hamad are the team to trust.

I deeply appreciate to Maria Patente the way she conducted my legal cases. As an attorney she is the best!. I have been confronting legal bottles through the courts system for practically eighteen (18) years. My previous six (6) attorneys did little or practically none to resolve them in my favor. But, Maria with great professionalism converted my stress and frustrations in happiness when she competently won them all. The outcomes were fantastic!.
I can’t thanks her enough. She fought above and beyond…. My admiration and appreciation to Maria Patente for conducting my legal bottles with determination to win.

BEWARE!!! What started out as great service from Mr.Rosenthall, has become a nightmare!!! Services paid in full. Over a year and expungements are not complete, 5+ emails and phone calls never returned. His negligence has led to denial of employment for charges that have been approved due to them being tied to a charge that is in need of a hearing!

After consulting with Mark Krudys, we hired him to represent my son in a medical malpractice suit. He took on his case when I had almost given up hope on anyone taking it. He listened attentively to everything we said. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He was also kind, considerate, and compassionate. Mark or Anna was always available if we had questions or concerns, never cutting us off short, or making us feel like we were a bother. I just cannot say enough good things about Mark or the Krudys Law Firm. Mark and Anna worked relentlessly to get my son the justice he deserved. I will always be grateful to them, and would highly recommend this firm.

I will forever be grateful to Mark Krudys. He diligently worked on my complicated white collar case for three years. Mark’s skills made him the perfect lawyer to deal with all of its aspects. His knowledge of civil, criminal and bankruptcy law was invaluable. He took the time to make sure I understand the various proceedings and always made me feel like a priority. In addition to being extremely dedicated to his clients, Mark is the epitome of ethical and professional.

My case is a civil rights one, and I was extremely impressed with Mr Krudys’ knowledge and practicality in a brief phone call. He himself answered the call, which in itself is absolutely above expectations.
While I wasn’t thrilled with his opinion (i.e., I’ll likely not win my case for which he gave solid reasons), I appreciated his honesty and practicality. I would absolutely go to him with other matters.

Servicio nefasto, he llamado 5 veces durantes las ultimas dos semanas para coordinar con el abogado que ve mi caso y hasta el momento no tengo comunicación, deje varios mensajes con las secretarias y hasta la fecha no me dan ninguna información, cabe recalcar que mi corte es en 7 días. No recomiendo este bufete, son buenos para cobrar pero una vez que uno termina de pagar ya no le dan seguimiento al caso.

Tiffany was great! While my issue was not picked up for representation she did provide sound legal advice during my consult. She saved me thousands of dollars and allowed me to have closure on my issue by letting me know very empathetically and professionally that it wasn’t something I could sue for. She was great! I appreciate her time and her legal knowledge!

Let me start by saying Mr. Powers has been a real God send. I am very honored to have him representing me. His expertise, professionalism and empathy for my situation has provided a one of a kind experience. He has been in communication with me every step of the way and instilled a level of confidence I would not have otherwise.
Mr. Powers is helping with employment matters. His paralegal Palmo has also been too notch. If you are seeking solid representation look no further. . Call this office for a consultation. Receive the confidence in your matter like I did. All the best!

My great appreciation to the quality of legal service that Halperin Law Center provided to me. For the last 15 years I reached Mr. Halperin for legal help and representation 3 times. At the end all engagements were straight win for my family. Mr. Halperin has unique combination of being friendly, easy to communicate with and at the same time following all formal rules of the law practice. Halperin Law Center is the hub of the legal experts. They do carry years of progressive professional experience, hands-on dealing with many different legal situations of their clients.
When a time in life comes when you need to be protected or justice needs to be restored then you need the power and strength on your side. In America knowing a great lawyer, doctor, plummer, auto mechanic will bring you the peace of mind and confidence.
I know Mr. Halperin for many years and it makes me feel safe and ready for unexpected.
Thank you,

Jonathan Halperin and his team have been representing me for quite a few years now. Jonathan took on a case that most lawyers would never even consider due to the complexity and sensitivity of the matter. The day that Jonathan took my case was a life changing day for sure. He has been nothing but incredible throughout every step of the legal process. He has treated the case with the respect it deserves and he knows what he is doing. Not only is Jonathan an amazing man to know, he is an absolutely incredible lawyer. I am beyond appreciative of everything he has done for me and continues to do for me. He is a fighter, and I don't foresee him ever giving up on me and my case. Thank you Jonathan, you have helped me in so many more ways than you will ever know.

I had a bad injury at work when I was only 19 years old. My life was turned upside down. Seven different attorneys refused to take my case, but Jonathan believed in my case and in me. I was so happy to finally have someone who would fight for me. Jonathan never gave up and he was always available to me and my family. I trusted Jonathan with my case, and he got justice for me and provided for my financial future. I can now move on with my life and look forward to what lies ahead.

Consumer Litigation Associates helped my spouse and I fix our credit after having an old auto loan inaccurately report the final disposition of our account to each of the credit bureaus. We worked with Drew Sarrett and Vicki Crissman, who each helped us expertly navigate the tremendous amount of paperwork and process required to satisfactorily resolve the matter and fully restore our credit ratings. Highly recommend.

Hiring Andrew Taylor as my attorney was the best decision I made when filing for divorce. My case was complicated, including numerous filings and hearings leading to a multi-day trial related to my divorce, child custody and support. He also handled my J&DR Court hearings to secure a Protective Order for my children and I. Andrew knows the law thoroughly and his experience in the courtroom meant he gave me very sound advice. After trying diligently to settle with the other side, it became clear we would have to go to trial. This meant months strategically prioritizing and timing the work on discovery, depositions, expert witnesses, coordination with the Guardian Ad Litem (GAL), minor children testifying to the judge in chambers, and supplementary legal negotiations. Andrew and his paralegal, Shannon, expertly managed all of this. They are truly good people and a delightful team: I trust them implicitly.
Prior to my divorce trial, I presented Andrew with a 20-point list of what I wanted the judge to grant me. Andrew’s deep understanding of what the court would be looking for with regard to the best interest of my children, quantifying asset/debt values, jurisdiction, case law, & how that lined up with the fact patterns in my case meant success: what the judge granted me after the trial was beyond my expectations.
Even though I was the one who chose to file for divorce, it was daunting emotionally. Sometimes I just wanted to give up the fight for what I knew I was legally allowed. However, Andrew Taylor is a thoughtful, empathetic person who clearly sees his role as one to help families navigate when they are facing hard realities. Andrew did everything to advocate for me & my children. My family & I have gone from surviving to thriving; we now live in a peaceful, joyful home.
I highly recommend you speak with Andrew Taylor; whether your case is a simple one or more complex, to make sure all issues are properly addressed now and for your future.

I had the pleasure of working with Matthew Sutter for my unlawful termination case, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From our first consultation, it was clear that Matthew truly understood my situation and the financial and emotional toll it was taking on me, especially because I was pregnant. His professionalism was evident in every interaction, and he always made time to answer my questions and address my concerns promptly.
Matthew was incredibly easy to stay in contact with, ensuring that I was kept informed throughout the entire process. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, we achieved a somewhat favorable outcome without the case even having to go to court. His empathy and dedication made a difficult time much more manageable for me and my soon-to-be son. If you need a lawyer who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about his clients, Matthew Sutter is the one to call. Five stars all the way!

He is a nice person. But if you want someone who will fight for you in my own opinion he won’t. Very hard to reach at important times. Overall let me down on my case. Again very nice and respectful to his CLIENTS; however he has no problem telling you” plead guilty and pray for mercy” after months of saying everything is fine. All I wanted was a fair trial. I asked for a jury over 3xs some how I walked into court with a bench trial. Complicated cases is not his strong point and instead of passing it on to another lawyer, he’ll try gambling your freedom. Really let me down didn’t even put in a motion of discovery he was listening to audios off of the commonwealths computer. That he never heard which where played at each level I’ve been to in court! Didn’t even have the correct dates being used against me. On top of all that was rude to my witnesses and NEVER spoke to them and this was my appeal trial. Set me up for pure failure.

John Andrew Pierce is, without question, the best lawyer I’ve ever worked with, and I genuinely could not have achieved this without him. From our very first conversation, it was clear that I was dealing with a true expert. He was transparent about the challenges of restoring my rights, explaining that nothing was guaranteed, but his confidence and knowledge immediately put me at ease. He didn’t just tell me we had a good chance—he made me believe it, and that belief carried me through this process.
What truly sets John apart is his ability to simplify even the most complex legal processes. He laid everything out step by step, ensuring I fully understood what was required and making it incredibly easy to follow his instructions. His approach was so seamless that all I had to do was answer his questions and trust his guidance. Throughout it all, he remained patient, responsive, and always available to address my concerns. He made me feel like my case was as important to him as it was to me.
The result? Success. John achieved what felt impossible—he restored my rights. This is something I could never have accomplished on my own. His expertise, professionalism, and dedication are unmatched, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Even if the outcome had been different, I would still consider him the best lawyer I’ve ever encountered because of the way he handled my case with precision, care, and an unparalleled level of skill.
Thanks to John, I feel like a new chapter has opened in my life. The weight I carried for so long is gone, and I am forever grateful to him for making that possible. If you’re looking for a lawyer who will fight for you, guide you, and deliver exceptional results, John Andrew Pierce is the one. Thank you, John, for being the best at what you do.

John was very clear and concise throughout the entire process. He made sure I understood that nothing would be guaranteed with my rights restoration, but that he felt we had a good chance. When he told me that I really felt it too. He made everything simple. All I had to do was answer his questions and follow his easy to understand instructions. You can really tell when speaking with John that he is the real deal and knows his stuff. He always reminded me that all I had to do was reach out and ask him if I had any questions. Even if we had not been successful, which of course we were, I would still definitely recommend John Andrew Pierce to anyone else.
Thank you so much. I feel such a weight lifted off of me.

He met with me about 5 times in the span of two months for a significant amount of time and spent a lot of time on my case outside of our appointments. He was attentive, showed that he genuinely cared, and was very personable. He was able to settle outside of court on my behalf and get me what I wanted out of the case. He also didn’t try to get a ridiculous amount of money out of me like so many lawyers try to. Something really neat was that the head of the firm would occasionally join us during our appointments, which was awesome. I 100% recommend Josue Casanova. He is an amazing lawyer and person.

Mr. Painter is by far the most thorough investigator and aggressive criminal defense attorney I have seen. He successfully suppressed the evidence in my case, effectively cross examined the Commonwealth's witnesses and, after motioning the Court to have a special hearing regarding a confidential informant and law enforcement, got the charges dismissed.

Mr. Painter defended my case with more intensity and thoroughness than I have witnessed with any other attorney. The co-defendant in my case wanted to fire his attorney and have Mr. Painter represent both of us, although Mr. Painter informed us that this was not in either of our best interests. His investigation, suppression hearings and trial work was the best I have seen.

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.
