I had a fantastic experience with Skidmore and Fomina Employment Law Firm in Seattle. Damien and Vera were truly exceptional in handling my case. They were professional, knowledgeable, and always available to answer my questions. Their guidance and expertise made the entire process much less stressful. I felt supported every step of the way, and their dedication to achieving the best possible outcome was evident. I highly recommend Skidmore and Fomina for anyone seeking top-notch employment law services in Seattle. It would be an understatement to say I will never forget what these people did for me. From the bottom of my heart; thank you, Damien and Vera, for your outstanding work!

I honestly and truly love the hard work, dedication & consistency Damisi & his team provided for me during these hard times❤️
It's not often these days to find a team let alone trust worthy individuals who will fight for you to make sure you are taken care of both mentally, physically & financially.
The communication and follow-ups were perfect. The understanding, patience and support I received during this process for both my case and personal life were unmatched. This was definitely not just another case in the books for them.
I lost both my grandmother & father during this process and Damisi & his team reached out multiple times to insure I was ok.
This team faught tooth & nails for me and made sure that in the end I was taken care of.
I am a single mother of 3 & the main provider for my family. Because of this accident I was at risk of losing my job, and lost my home due to being hit by an uninsured truck driver. I can't thank this team enough for taking my case and reassuring me that they had my back and they delivered everything they said they would ❤️
Thanks to this team my family & I are able to have a worry free fresh start & I am so THANKFUL for them ❤️

I recently had the privilege of working with Matthew Cunanan to draft my living will, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of excellent. From start to finish, Matthew demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, efficiency, and empathy, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.
One of the standout qualities of Matthew's service was his remarkable ease to work with. He guided me through each step of the process, ensuring that I understood all aspects of my living will and addressing any concerns or questions I had along the way. His clear communication and willingness to listen made me feel heard and understood, fostering a sense of trust and confidence in his expertise.
Matthew's thoughtfulness and understanding were evident throughout our interactions. He took the time to truly understand my wishes and priorities, tailoring the living will to suit my specific needs and circumstances. His compassionate approach made a potentially daunting task feel manageable, and I appreciated his genuine care for my well-being and that of my loved ones.
Thanks to Matthew's expertise and dedication, I now have peace of mind knowing that I have a comprehensive living will in place to protect my sons in the event of unforeseen circumstances. His attention to detail and commitment to ensuring thorough documentation instilled in me a sense of security, knowing that my wishes will be carried out as intended.
I wholeheartedly recommend Matthew Cunanan to anyone in need of living will services. His professionalism, efficiency, and compassionate approach make him a standout choice in this field. Working with Matthew was not only easy and quick but also reassuring and empowering. I am grateful for his assistance and would not hesitate to seek his expertise again in the future.

Tom and Meredith were the best people imaginable to help with my mother's estate. Walked me through the whole process in a caring and personal way. No one else I'd rather have represent me or my mother's estate. One of these days I'm going to stop procrastinating and get my estate planning done and know exactly who to go to.

My firm hired Jake when one of our clients wired funds to a scammer in a wire fraud situation. I found him after searching the internet most of the night and determined that he might be the guy that I was looking for to help us. When money is wired to a fraudster the likely-hood of recovery goes down by the hour, knowing this, I called Jake before he was out of bed, leaving him a message. He returned my call within 15 minutes, and I began explaining our situation to him, to say that he hit the ground running would be an understatement. He didn't talk about fees or payment, that was not his concern, he was interested in helping us and knew what needed to be done and fast. After gathering the needed information from me, in an efficient manner, he quickly got in touch with our client and started working his connections from his time in government to halt the further transfer of money. He had people assisting him at the every level of government including the secret service, he was focused on doing whatever it took to get our money back and he knew that certain people had better odds of assisting in that outcome. At the end of a long and stressful day, Jake called and informed me that the 109k would be returned to our client in the next couple of days. I am 100% certain that without his help, the result would have been different. Your situation, may differ from what we used Jake for, however it would be difficult for me to believe that Jake's strategy development, sharp decision making, connections combined with his willingness to take action quickly would not be the type of attributes that solve most problems.

I randomly found them online one day and it was a miracle. They made putting my past in the past where it belonged effortlessly and easy. They were with me the whole way through the long waiting process from the courts. Once I saw the good new that I don’t have to worry about my mistake along time ago would never come up again, I was very thankful and happy! I definitely recommend them and will consult with them again if I ever run to and problems…. I hope I don’t but you never know!

Findley and Rogers helped me get a new start in life. After I was denied by several other law firms over the years, these people helped me restore my civil rights. I definitely recommend this company to anyone who is done being denied employment and social opportunities because of simple mistakes made in the past.
Thank you Findley and Rogers for all you have done to give me part of my life back.

We recently settled in Washington from another state. We bought a house and needed to update our estate documents to the Washington jurisdiction. I did some looking for an attorney and selected NW Legacy Law. We are leaving the country for a while and needed to get our documents done pretty quickly. NW Legacy Law worked with us to get everything taken care of prior to our trip. They have been great to work with and made sure the documents met our slightly unusual requirements. They did everything for a reasonable fixed price. I think you too will get great service from NW Legacy Law.

Kevin went above and beyond in my case where someone made blatant, fabricated false allegations against me.
His closing argument was legendary getting my case dismissed.
He is polite, kind, made me and my family feel comfort knowing we was in good hands.
I highly recommend Kevin, he was very responsive and committed to my case.

I was involved in a major hit and run accident with medical bills that were necessary and all out of my control. Melissa came recommended by a friend and I am so glad I was connected with her. I even had another lawyer try to take my case, but in talking with Melissa I could tell she was more interested in ME and my well being and trusted her completely. We were able to get bills covered with a little in my pocket, and I was given tips for car insurances in the future. 10/10. Thank you Melissa!

I am very happy to share my excellent experience with Jesse Wing! From the moment I first reached out to him during a challenging time in my life, Jesse exhibited absolute professionalism and expertise. What truly made a difference was his genuine empathy for what I was going through.
I particularly appreciated his frequent interactions, where he took the time to explain every detail of the process in a clear and reassuring manner. It was evident that he practices law with the highest level of integrity. Additionally, I had the pleasure of working with his peers and staff, who provided the same high level of care and support.
I wholeheartedly recommend Jesse to anyone in need of top-notch legal representation and who values a kind and compassionate demeanor during tough times.

I had the pleasure of working with Jesse concerning a contractual obligation relative to a non-compete clause. Jesse took an incredible amount of time just discussing my case with me and was always patient in addressing my concerns. Jesse was very familiar with this aspect of the law and was very comfortable and confident in his proposal for addressing the situation. His professional approach led to a very timely resolution. Jesse’s team was also very professional, respectful and pleasant.

Jesse is simply outstanding. He is a true subject-matter expert who is professional, understanding, competent, and respectful. I had the pleasure of working with Jesse when I hired him to help provide protection and overwatch in a unique employment situation. He has the ability to understand complex legal cases and situations to help protect you and can identify strong/ethical legal arguments and identify case law in a tactical way to provide strong legal protections and coverage. I have nothing but good things to say about Jesse, and I will rehire him in a heartbeat.

He did everything to make sure I understood what was going on with my case at all times and when had any questions or concerns I never had a problem getting ahold of Tim. After a very long year we Ultimately went to trial where Tim was amazing and fought for me to be found not guilty on all charges. Without a doubt the best choice I could have made and I will never forget what he did for me.....THANK YOU TIM!!!

I had the privilege of working with Tim Note as my criminal attorney, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for his exceptional legal representation. From the moment I first consulted with Tim, I knew I was in capable hands.
Tim's deep knowledge of criminal law and his dedication to his clients are truly commendable. He left no stone unturned in building a strong defense for my case. His attention to detail, thorough research, and strategic approach were instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome.
What sets Tim apart is not just his legal expertise, but also his genuine compassion and understanding. He took the time to listen to my concerns, address my questions, and provide reassurance throughout a challenging legal process. His clear communication and guidance made me feel empowered and informed every step of the way.
Tim's professionalism and commitment to securing the best possible result for his clients are evident in every aspect of his work. He fought tirelessly on my behalf, and I could not have asked for a more dedicated advocate.
Thanks to Tim Note's legal prowess and unwavering support, my case was resolved successfully. I highly recommend Tim to anyone seeking a top-notch criminal attorney who goes above and beyond for their clients. He is not just an excellent lawyer but also a true advocate for justice.

I have retained the Law Firm twice. I was being sued by the county in civic court over a rare firearm violation. Mr. McAleer was trustworthy, professional, and responsible. The final lawsuit judgment was very satisfactory to me. I was so satisfied that I retained one of the attorneys for my divorce, Robert Andersen, straight away without shopping around for other attorneys. Again, I was highly satisfied. I would highly recommend the McAleer Firm.
Beyond Satisfied.

In a time of dire need for a capable attorney, who would advocate for me, and who would refute the false claims and unfair accusations against me, Erin has done a phenomenal job. I have nothing but good things to say about Erin. He has fought fiercely for me to prove my innocence and at the same time remained very fair. He is effective, fast, and communicates well, keeping you in the loop every step of the way. I have dealt with attorneys before who were arrogant, non-communicative, ineffective and uncaring, with money on their minds first; but not Erin.
If you want an excellent defense attorney on your side, look no further than Erin.

Mr. McAleer has been our family and my personal attorney for nine years. He has represented us in several cases that were found in our favor. Being one of the top attorney's of forty under forty in Washington State is obvious to us with the vigor and experience he's shown in every case. We have used him for defense as well as civil cases. Looking for an attorney worth every cent ? One who will treat YOUR case like a dog with a bone. Do yourself a big favor and stop looking Mr. McAleer is all the legal representation you will EVER need. Thank you M&M Ferrell.

First and foremost, my wife and I are extremely appreciative of the Roy Law Group. They are now family to us and we could not have dealt with the insurance company alone. The people that work for Roy Law Group took us on and walked us through every step of the long process. I wish we could recommend them higher than this review. Our story of "why" we recommend Roy Law Group. My wife suffers from Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) as a result of a horrific automobile accident and epilepsy. At first, her short term employment disability kicked in without any issues. We noticed a change in the disability insurance as my wife's treatments continued past the six month mark. We were told by the insurance company she was not going to receive long-term disability. The insurance company lied stating long-term disability was not selected for her at time of employment. Being she has TBI it was very difficult for her to understand what was happening. I had to do the work to find her original employment signing paperwork showing she had signed up, checked the box, and paid for this service. This was the first time we realized the insurance company was not here to "help" my wife. During this stage we received many complicated paperwork assignments from the insurance company and threats she was going to be dropped from coverage. You could feel the insurance company just wanted us to give up so they could save money. They do not care about your actual wellbeing. We did not give up like they wanted us to do. Months prior to the one year mark the threats became real as the insurance company randomly sent my wife a denial of coverage letter. They gave a ridiculous reason stating they felt she was fine now and was dropping her from long-term coverage again. Mind you, she had only been on long-term disability for a few months. Even though she was still receiving medical services and had multiple doctors stating the opposite. We did not accept the insurance games anymore and looked for help. Thankfully we talked with the Row Law Group. They are amazing people from the start and tell you up front what they will do. No false promises, as they walk you through realistically if they were able or not able to help and why. Luckily for us they saw what the insurance company was doing and had dealt with this same company many times. I love the fact they listen to your situation and you know they are in the fight with you. I have never seen complete strangers be an advocate for the truth and justice like the Row Law Group is. Over the process I could not imagine anyone else doing such an amazing tailored job to our situation as them. We have now had my wife's long term disabilities reinstated and now moving forward the insurance company has to still deal with our protectors the Row Law Group. If you are going through the ringer and fighting with an insurance company over short/long-term disability just stop the stress and fight alone. Don't delay like we did just CALL Row Law Group now. I wish we had called them earlier and my wife would not have had to cry or worry as much during the earliest stages of the fight. Our family is so grateful to the Row Law Group.

I’ve known Shawn for about 20 years. He has been a local bar leader, particularly with organizing legal education events that are mandatory for us lawyers. Shawn has a reputation for his hilarious Business Law lectures at St. Martin’s University, where he’s been an adjunct professor for many years.Shawn’s commitment to zealously represent his clients is legendary. For example, he represented an owner of a sports bar who did not believe the indoor smoking ban was fair or legal. Shawn’s is dogged defense of Frankie, the owner, continued even though client actively broke the law by allowing smoking in his “private club.” The State wasn’t having any of it and closed down the bar.
It’s not always easy to represent folks who deliberately violate the law. These clients are some of the most challenging, as they basically believe their individual rights trump the citizens’ rights to health and safety. Frankie died not long ago, perhaps because his right to smoke killed him.
Shawn Newman is a very bright and creative attorney. He is fearless, thorough and will work until “the last dog dies.” I am honored to be a friend of his.

Aaron not only is great at what he does but also demonstrates tremendous respect and empathy. He helped me with two civil cases as I went through a very difficult time. From the very first time I spoke with him, he was patient and explained to me the process thoroughly, making me feel at ease. Aaron possesses a great wealth of legal knowledge & experience and was also very strategic in handling my cases, winning both cases (which were tricky and challenging). I couldn't appreciate more his professionalism, compassion, integrity, and encouragement along the way. He is not only a great attorney but also an amazing person. I would highly recommend Aaron for those who are in need of legal assistance.

Aaron was everything I hoped when I was looking for a lawyer for a traffic violation. He knew exactly what he needed from me, communicated well, and got right on the problem. We got the outcome we were hoping for, but even if we hadn't (that's how it goes sometimes) I would have been satisfied.

Aaron represented me for 2 moving violations. Once we agreed to work together and I filed for contested hearings, Aaron tracked the process and took care of everything with courts. He got one dismissed and settled the other as a non-moving violation infraction. I hadn't anticipated that working him would make things so easy.

I had an issue with medications that Mike immediately recognized and had experience with. He was able to take care of my case in a diversionary manner and I was satisfied with the result considering the severe penalties I could have incurred.

It was my first time getting a DUI, pretty scary feeling a friend recommended Michael to me and it was a great decision to hire him on. He was very knowledgeable about situations like these, gave me all the information i needed to get started, especially for my restricted license. He got everything resolved in two court days and got my DUI reduced to negligent driving. I would definitely recommend Michael to others!!!!.

Even when things got a little sticky in my first time DUI case, Mike knows the right things to bring up and knows how to handle what gets thrown at him. I’m impressed by the confidence, composure and knowledgeability. He knows the right people, which is the biggest name of the game because if you don’t, you don’t have a defense. I’m thoroughly content with how he handled my case and if you are in the south sound area I would strongly advise to at least consult with the guy. At a fair price I doubt there are much better options. My only problem was lack of communication within his own office. I wasn’t able to get ahold of him as much as I would’ve liked to (since he’s busy handling business), and it seemed like one of his representatives didn’t have as much experience but Mike still handled it well.

We cannot recommend Amy and Matt highly enough. From start to finish, they navigated and took on the immense pressure and stress from our case with ease. We felt supported in even our most vulnerable moments. Most importantly, they made us feel justified in our cause. You definitely want this duo in your corner when things get challenging!

Yes, it actually feels good to have a worthy credit profile. I want to use this time to appreciate PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST for bringing me out of a bad credit report that made my life miserable. 6 years ago I had perfect credit but my life spiralled out of control and was left with 50k debt. I had no way of paying for it at that time. I have been rebuilding my life for the past few months and need to fix my credit. I had 50k debt combined. 6 closed accounts with "negative pay status" "Charged off as bad debt". 550 credit score. I paid 2 of the 6 accounts off recently but the remarks are still there and nothing about my status changed on said accounts. PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST came through for me, with all negative entries removed; charge offs, late payments wiped out including closed accounts all cleared from my report and my score is now 804. I got approved for a Capital one credit card with a $10,000 limit and have been pre-approved for another $30,000 limit. I’m happy now and THANKS to whoever posted about them on this forum for the first time. You can contact them via:

I hired Matt for an employment matter. At the initial consultation he laid out a realistic timeline and made sure I understood what to expect. He kept me updated throughout the case and did his best to make everything as easy as possible.
I’m the end the matter was resolved much quicker than I expected and I also got a far better outcome than I could have ever expected.
Should I ever have to hire an attorney for an employment matter in the future, Matt will be my first call.
Thank you Matt!

Mr. De la Cruz treated me very fair and was direct with his questions. I felt confident having my case in his hands. He was direct in providing my status at all times and provided some much needed encouragement. I felt very satisfied with the outcome of my case. In fact, I feel he played a major role. Vito represented me with professionalism and with power while in court. He is the best.

During the duration of my case, Vito was kind, and compassionate, but also very driven and he fought for me more than some of the people closest to me. Vito was my voice when I felt like I didn't have one. I would want to Vito represent me if ever I needed to someone to again.

Vito De La Cruz has been my attorney in two separate cases and settled one case favorably while the other is still in mediation. When I first met Mr. De La Cruz, I was impressed with his attentiveness, listening skills and ability to make me feel totally at ease. He's a man of integrity and the legal skills to follow through. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an outstanding person and attorney to represent them and anyone in need of a bilingual attorney authorized to practice law in several States. Call him.

Vicky and her entire team are client focused. She is very responsive to your needs. Vicky or someone from her team answers all emails and calls within 24 hours. Vicky is honest and open about the process and the details related to the process so that there are not any surprises or false expectations. Yet, she has a very calming demeanor and kept me calm when my anxiety was through the roof. When it comes to dealing with the other side Vicky is tough and relentless. She truly fights for her clients. I wouldn't want anyone else on my side during what can be a very difficult and stressful time in life.

I've hired ben four times and have never been disappointed. He handled the creation of my living estate. He handled the creation of a contract for one-off workers. He handled a dicey HR work situation. He explained the methods and processes in making a tricky software business with a partner. In all cases he was prompt clear, polite, and effective with my time. For the living estate he gave me a book he wrote so i could ingest a lot of information before we spoke. Now that is being economical for everyone.

Mr. Premack's work for our small business has consistently exceeded our expectations. We would recommend him in a heartbeat.

Our non-profit coalition worked with Benjamin Premack to review and update our organizational bylaws. As an attorney, Mr. Premack was very knowledgable about both state law, and best practices. He was a good listener, which helped him develop language that was both legally sound, and would work well with our organizational culture and administrative capacity. And he was a good communicator, coming to our board meeting and patiently explaining the impacts of the proposed changes to a large group with a wide variety of opinions. We had an excellent experience, and would recommend Benjamin Premack to any organization looking for thoughtful legal support.

Ms. Cochran's prompt response to my inquiry, and in-depth research of the subject was impressive, and invaluable. You can imagine the immensity of protocol and procedures involved when dealing with HUD subsidies managed by local housing providers. Jenny's immediate grasp of complexities and competent presentation of subject matter contributed significantly to the positive outcome of my petition. I was greatly relieved by the genuine personal interest she took under the difficult circumstances.

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.
