I was going through a tough time in my life when everything looked like a lost cause. Then, my family found Defense Attorney: Chris Black. At our first meeting, Mr. Black gave me hope. With him on our side, we felt assured that our case would be handled swiftly and smoothly.
He kept us updated and was always available to answer our calls and emails promptly. Mr. Black went above and beyond—efficient, courteous, and professional. I highly recommend Chris Black’s legal services to anyone in need.
As a unique case, I have truly never met a lawyer like Mr. Black. He keeps it real and is a genuine advocate for his clients.
Thank you, Chris, for your solid support and for being such a positive force during that difficult time.

These folks are just great! I urgently needed to understand my rights. A lawyer friend recommended Macdonald Hoague & Bayless, and I will always call them first. Jesse Wing, Adarsh N. Parthasarathy, and their team were warm, empathetic, generous, friendly, efficient, and extremely competent. I honestly couldn't have asked for better legal advice and support! Working with them solved my issues and empowered me with strategies to advocate for myself! I couldn't imagine going anywhere else for legal representation.

I was getting nowhere trying to fight my case in the system myself. Workers comp and social security. Then came rondi. She is very knowledgeable in all sides of the system. She is very sweet and personable and truly cares about the right thing but she also met any controversy during my case head on and with complete confidence. Definitely not afraid to fight for you and what is right. She always had my back and gave me peace of mind. Her characteristics I tend to think of her as a true friend that just so happens to be my atty as well. I highly recommend her.

Did not have a good experience with Evan Marken. He basically told me there was no chance of winning my case. He didn't explain to me in detail why he came to this conclusion. I even gave him new information I obtained from my worker and he didn't care. I got no help what so ever from this firm and I definitely don't recommend. Find someone who cares

I was immensely grateful to have Shannon Polley represent a loved one who was at risk of 2+ years, minimum, of prison for unlawful possession of a firearm. She advocated for his truth with unwavering dedication, a wealth of knowledge, and genuine warmth. Her composure and sharp intellect instilled a deep sense of confidence and trust from beginning to end. Shannon possesses the unique ability to connect with clients on a personal level, making you feel supported, respected and truly heard throughout the entire process. Her ability to adapt and act with precision amidst trial gave us the peace of mind we needed during an extremely stressful experience. I recommend her with high regards if you are looking for a defense lawyer who will go above and beyond, she is a relentless advocate for her clients and was an absolutely powerful force in the court room.

It was a total pleasure working with Jim to get my gun rights restored. He goes above and beyond for his clients. After the Judge signed the order, Jim sent copies directly to WASP, so I could apply for my concealed carry permit sooner than later. He is very kind, caring, and incredibly professional. If you are looking to get your gun rights back, look no further. You are in good hands with Jim. Thank you, Jim. My family and I are truly grateful for your business.

I’ve referred a number of people to the Marshall Defense Firm over the years and, without exception, their feedback concerning the firm’s service has been exceptional. The terms I hear consistently are expert, professional, intelligent, sensitive and caring. Honestly, it’s a combination of traits which I see rarely see in law firms I deal with. What a huge compliment to the firm’s legal and life philosophy.

I was involved in a collision with an uninsured motorist in Fall 2023. At the advise of a friend, I contacted Andrew Cherin to assist me with the claim mediation with both my auto insurance and my health insurance. He was able to claim me the maximum payout from my auto insurance, and got my health insurance to waive any reimbursement out of the auto claim! I am positive things would not have gone as well as they did without his help. I pray that I never need his services again, but for sure know that he's the one I would call if I do!

No narcissist, abuser, bully, intimidator, gas lighter, manipulator, or exploiter are too big for Kirk Davis! My case was complicated and multi-faceted. I had difficulty finding an attorney to take my case. I am eternally grateful Kirk Davis accepted the challenge. I assumed I would lose most of my award to all the medical fees I incurred. Kirk even negotiated those that I was not expecting! I highly recommend Kirk Davis as an attorney and a human. Thank you, Kirk. The legal world is a much better place with you in it.

Amsale Aberra law PLLC is one of the best law firm in Seattle .
In 2019 I had a very tough immigration case and I hired another law firm and it didn’t go well, I spend more than 3k and finally my case got denied due to the lawyer’s irresponsible action. A few months later a friends of mine suggested to contact Amsale’s law firm. She was very kind, positive , thoughtful and a good listener. She listened the entire issue with the previous law firm, and what surprised me was her focus to resolve the problem instead of nailing down.
After a brief discussion and consultation, I hired her to represent me the same case which I got denied previously.
It took her shorter time comparing with the previous lawyer and successfully won my case. Not only that, through the entire process of my case with Amsale I was getting an update based on the information timeframe of each steps from immigration office.
The best part of her consultation, if she thinks your case doesn’t worse to continue, she doesn’t wanna waste your money! This is how she does business !
I will always refer to Amsale law firm for friend and family because she is trustworthy!

I originally hired Sean because a plumbing company had caused structural damages to floor joists during a renovation and they would not accept responsibility. What happened instead was Sean transferred me to Joe and the lawsuit lasted 2 1/2 years. We ended up going to arbitration and I won all damages but zero lawyers fees.
Incredibly frustrating experience.
I wouldn’t hire nor recommend them.
I regret hiring Sean and Joe.

I worked with Will Reingold, Jr for my divorce, who was recommended to me by a friend. He was friendly and knowledgeable for a process that is painful for most. The guy always works and never seems to miss a beat. He is always on top of it and prioritizes to get things done/executed like you're his only client. He made efforts to resolve more complicated challenges like parental rights of embryos even though it's not his wheelhouse.

I made the best decision when I chose Catherine Fleming of Fleming Law to represent me in my lawsuit against the city of Seattle. I had a bicycle crash on a poorly marked Seattle street which left me semi-paralyzed and permanently in a wheelchair. Catherine is a personal injury attorney but has a special interest in representing injured cyclists, pedestrians or vehicle drivers who sue municipalities for negligent road design. My case was a complicated one due to a preexisting condition, but Catherine had built a strong case, and the city did not want to risk going to trial. They proposed settling out of court, and during her skillful mediation, I was granted a 7-figure settlement, an amount which far exceeded my expectations and for which I am forever grateful to Catherine. This can only be attributed to her in-depth preparation, knowledge of the law, and prior experience with cases against the city of Seattle.
I found Catherine because of another attorney’s high praise. He is a prominent Seattle attorney, and even though he specializes in bicycle accidents, he said he doesn’t like taking cases like mine, against the city of Seattle, as they were high risk and hard to win. He said there’s only one attorney that he knew of who has won these types of cases, and that’s Catherine Fleming.
It was this referral by another highly reputable attorney and my initial conversation with Catherine that led me to retaining her for my case. She absolutely proved to be the right choice. Catherine is a hardworking perfectionist who skillfully builds a case with tenacity, thoroughness, and an unwavering commitment to fight for her clients.
If you have been injured, either cycling, walking, or driving, and think it may be the result of poor signage or road design (or any other reason), consult with Catherine Fleming at Fleming Law. She is one of a few who has the expertise to take on these cases and has earned respect for her many wins. She has earned mine, and I am most grateful that this large settlement amount brings us a newfound financial freedom and peace of mind for whatever our future holds.

We are so glad we found Catherine Fleming and Fleming Law!
After my wife’s bicycle crash in Seattle and subsequent spinal surgery, we faced an uncertain future. Before, she had been a strong cyclist and active hiker, but now was confined to a wheelchair with incomplete paraplegia.
Not only did we experience the loss of the many activities we had once shared, we now faced looming medical expenses, and the possibility of needing long-term care in the future.
We believed that the area where my wife crashed was confusing and dangerous for bicyclists, but were unsure if we had any hope of recovering anything for damages. Catherine agreed to take us on as clients and worked tirelessly to build our case against the city. She amassed evidence that the street design at the site of the accident was unsafe, and furthermore that the city had been aware of this fact.
As the case progressed, it became clear that we had chosen the right attorney for the job. She demonstrated a thorough understanding of the issues and the law surrounding bicycles and traffic safety. It was also evident that she also commanded the respect of her counterparts in the City Attorney’s Office.
After Catherine guided us through a successful mediation, we were delighted with the settlement. While no amount of money can replace my wife’s mobility, we now face the future with less anxiety.

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 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.

I contacted Erin after being falsely accused of an extremely serious crime. Erin was pro-active and secured video evidence that proved the allegations were made-up. This quick movement on his part made all the difference in my case.
Erin was easy to talk to and took my recollection of events and crafted them into a coherent legal defense. My case did not even make it to pre-trial, largely in part to Erin's skill and diligence. I highly recommend Erin McAleer to anyone who is facing criminal prosecution. I found him and his associates to be very professional and straight-forward. At a price I believe was reasonable for the complexity and seriousness of the accusations made against me.

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 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.

They put you through an inital intake process which is positive. I wanted a quick end to my divorce and was happy to compromise to make it happen. Our goals seemed to align.
Unfortunately this firm provided poor council during the first phone call with the attorney. Luckily this did not lead to a financial move that would have put me in violation of a court order. Later the attorney wanted me to provide documentary evidence he had previously advised against in an aparent 180. Such documentation was previously claimed to put me in legal liability. What can I believe?
Very disappointing.
Divorce is tough enough. I hired an attorney becuase I am no legal expert and I wanted a quick, mediated end to my marriage. Instead I get bad and changing advice. Plenty of good reviews of these guys. Hope I'm an outlier.

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.

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.
