I have posted my review on a few sites. I am a real person. Just sharing the word to my community that Rajeev is the best Attorney I have ever worked with. Such an amazing Attorney, Attorney Majumdar helped me with a very long drawn out case, not of my doing. He is kind , smart, goes above and beyond to help people in our community, & believes in Justice for his clients. I was very grateful to have found such an amazing Attorney. He helped my case, and I felt safe to be fully open to him and the office staff. I have always remembered the genuine care he took during that stressful season of my life. During my original case I had another issue come up. I had a false accusation from a rental property I was renting. They wanted to charge me over $2,000 for new carpet for damage. I was Informed during the remodeling I was not to shampoo the carpets as they were being torn out. The photos the real-estate propery took, photo enhanced the color setting and made it look like red stains all over the hallway carpet. I had my photos I took at move out, and that was not there. He wrote one letter and I never heard from the property ever again about any such damage fees . Most landlords don't expect people to have a personal Attorney. I tell everyone, take photos before move in, and after move out. Also email everything to yourself so the email has a time stamp to show courts it was not just all typed up the day before court. Document everything. Attorney Rajeev has been my Attorney since 2012 & he will help me again when needed, "IF" something may come up next in my future. Thank you Rejeev.

I hired Rajeev to vacate 3 misdemeanors. He walked me through every step. He was able to get all 3 misdemeanors scrubed from my record, allowing me to presue a career in health care. Rajeev is professional, respectful and worth every penny. I highly recommend hiring him.

Rajeev did an excellent job in helping me with the sale of my small farm. Real estate agents wanted a substantial percentage of the agreed upon sale price when I had already found a willing buyer on my own. Rajeev handled all the paperwork, including a short term lease to allow me to stay in the home for 2 months after closing giving me time to move out of my home of 60 years. Rajeev save me and the buyer thousands of dollars and everything went smoothly. He was quick to respond to all questions and extremely knowledgeable about real estate issues in Whatcom County. I would highly recommend him for any real estate related matters.

Attorney Xi is the best. She is very knowledgeable and always patient with all my questions. I always recommend this firm to my friends when they need a great immigration attorney and now I recommend this law firm to whoever is reading this review.

25 Feb, 2025 by Taylor houser

Roxanne is the person you want fighting for you! She went above and beyond for my family with very little help as clients. My family struggled to get everything in order and without Roxanne, we’d be left with nothing. That’s putting it lightly. Each step she walked us through with expert knowledge and grace. I’d recommend her to anyone who needs an attorney and feel safe having their case in her hands and will definitely utilize her expertise if ever needed in the future. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would!!

Amsale Aberra Law PLLC is the best in the Pacific Northwest, effective communication and genuine care for the client's situation, ability to achieve positive results, and consistent availability to answer questions, She helped me Win my Immigration Case and I will recommend her always.

03 Dec, 2024 by Jony alem

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’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.

21 Apr, 2023 by Huaxia

I fully agree with the other reviewers who have given Paul a 5/5 rating. They've described him accurately, and I found Paul to be very honest and knowledgeable about this system. He was able to guide me and help me avoid many potential issues that could have caused trouble along the way. I appreciate his assistance and would like to express my gratitude for his support throughout the process.

17 Dec, 2019 by Ted

I had somehow managed to avoid needing an attorney for most of my 50 years, but within the past 2 years needed representation for 4 different matters pertaining to myself and members of my family. Each time, Paul was diligent, highly responsive, and focused on delivering the best possible outcome for reasonable fees. He is honest and compassionate, and highly recommended.

He is honest, funny, straightforward, and moreover very intelligent. There is no reason on earth to search any further. His strategies are sound, and well thought out. Chris is human, he is all anyone could ever hope to find in an attorney. Stop your'e search right now. Aside from his legal expertise, he is kind, fair, and a hero among men. May I never be any part of a lawsuit again and end up on the litigation wheel. It is my great misfortune that Chris wasn't my first attorney. That will always be my regret. Chris said he doesn't advertise, his skills, and tenacity don't require he advertise. Please take a breath and do yourself a favor, look no further, Chris is simply more than anyone could hope for.

Chris is fair and not out to gouge anyone even the one he's up against. He has integrity and keeps the bottom line as low for the client as possible by keeping the reality upfront. We used his service for a work injury claim and a personal collection my ex was responsible for. We will rave over his service and highly recommend him!

Peggy Underbrink is an attorney who is knowledgable about the law ands the process that it follows. She is a kind person who stands up for her clients rights without backing down from the other side. She is probably the best attorney that I have ever had to hire.

08 Nov, 2013 by Anonymous

After being terminated while on Maternity leave for my first child Peggy looked at my case and was very thorough in explaining everything I could anticipate with my case...good and the bad. She did an amazing job and jumped multiple hoops for almost 5 years to help me settle my case. My former employers attorney was so unprofessional and Peggy fought every moment. Every unlikely situation that happen in the case did but she did her best in standing up for me. I appreciate her hard work and always trying to keep her costs under control during the financially and emotionally tough times! I would highly recommend Ms. Underbrink.

06 Nov, 2013 by Sharon

Ms Underbrink represented me in an employment issue including resolving issues with an employer and helping to make my life a little less stressful while working. She was available by phone, email, or texting at all times. She was always on top of issues and kept me well informed of all aspects of my case. I would highly recommend her! She is very professional and it was a pleasure working with her!

Will is a great lawyer and was very enjoyable to work with. Not only did he take me through my trial, he also was able to get my case resolved. He is very thorough and has an excellent presence in the court room. I couldn't ask for a better attorney on my case.

06 Jan, 2020 by Anonymous

I came to Will when I felt very lost. I didn’t know I could have such a great lawyer, he helped me throughout the whole process answered all my questions and most of all treated me as a human being. Will didn’t only resolve my case but resolved it in the best way possible. Everything Will said he was going to do for me in the case he did! He’s not only a great lawyer but a great guy. I highly recommend Will if you are looking for a lawyer that won’t only resolve your case in the best way possible but, that treats you like a friend and not just a case number.

04 Sep, 2018 by Cody

Will and his colleagues are outstanding. My mother was charged with felony assault with a deadly weapon after being forced to defend herself from an attacker in her home. Will, Steve and their team could not have been more thorough in the time and attention spent on her case. During the actual trial, Steve and Will performed excellently. They had the prosecutor on her heels the entire time. All charges have since been dismissed without prejudice and my mother is home free instead of serving the long prison sentence she was facing. DO NOT hesitate to have Will on your side. You won't regret it.

The first time I used him was for a criminal offense in the 2000's that is now perfectly legal statewide (we all know what I'm talking about). Peter was honest and clear with me about fighting this. He tolld me it was a coin flip. I was willing to flip. Long story short, after I turned down 5 plea bargains, all no time but had to take a felony, the prosecuting attorney decided to ad an enhancement (that's called malicious prosecution and is illegal). Mr. Connick is a phenomenal, intimidating and well prepared trial attorney. I claim prosecutors fear facing him. I had two members of the front court come up to me to tell me it was one of the most fascinating cases they have ever heard. They hear cases every day. That to me is the ultimate compliment to Mr. Peter Connick. The second time was a family issue that Peter won for me. All my siblings and their attorneys lost. To this day none of them can believe it. Probably because I paid AT LEAST half on fees that they did. If your willing to fight, Peter is your man.

Big Pete defended me in a very ugly domestic violence case.The day of trial he had it all taken care of and credit for time served and a fine. I thought screw it lets go to trial.And Again pete Had A Great Deal but my big mouth got me found guilty at trial.Had i done what i was told by my Mr Connick i would of walked so the trust thing this is a guy you can trust 100% and compared to any attorney in this state pete would be the choice and do what he tells you even if you dont agree with it

20 Oct, 2011 by Katrina willard

Pete is truly the best. He saved me 25 years of my life at 24 years old. He then again represented me in the the small town of Ellensburg Washington on bogus Assault charges. He is an animal in trial. I have recommended him to many people and he has always won their cases. I trust him with my life as he has saved my *** many times. He is fair and affordable and I always asked him why he didn't charge thousands of dollars to clients, he said that if he did...a lot of people wouldn't get the help they need, including me. I feel bad I haven't been in contact with him lately as i still owe him money for a car and for saving my life. Although i am not in a financial position to fix it at this time, i plan to someday soon. Hats off to the best of the best..PETE CONNICK!!! katrina

I definitely recommend Mr. Tario to anyone needing representation for personal injury. He was professional and knowledgeable, and helped me win my case. I liked how at ease he was during the whole process from beginning to end. You can tell he's done this many times, and he knows what to expect and what to do next. The only thing that caught me by surprise was the additional fees. He is upfront about his 40% contingency fee and let's you know there is an additional charge for filing fees and whatnot. However the additional fees are 2000.00$ on top of the 40% which is already a little higher than the 33.3% that other lawyers charge. I just wish I would have known that or maybe I overlooked that in the contract.

03 Dec, 2021 by Katherine shustarich

My case, I feel, was unique. The insurance companies were fighting very hard to get us to settle. In the end it took a long time but Michael and Sandy never stopped fighting for me. The team Tario and Associates have are top notch. They were very compassionate and responsive through the entire process. I appreciate all the hard work they put in for me.

We'd like to say thank you and that we're grateful to see Harmony in the last minutes prior to our green card interview. She did an amazing job helping us prepare for the interview and guiding us through other important evidence that we missed. The way she talks and handles situations shows that she's a very experienced and knowledgeable consultant that you can completely rely on. We reached out to Harmony just a couple of days before our interview and luckily she managed to squeeze us in for a zoom section among her tight schedules. We got notified that our case has been approved the day after. Without Harmony's help, the positive outcome we got wouldn't be possible and again we're grateful that we met Harmony and grateful for what she did for us. Highly recommend D&C Law and Harmony for any immigration assistance!

I was looking at 12-20 months on a drug charge. Without Bill I would have plead down to a year and a day and would have gone to prison for 8 months with good time. After retaining Bill he did everything in his power to get my charge reduced. Because of Bill I was able to get my case continued and finish an entire year of college before completing my sentence. After nine months of letting the case resolve itself I was given the plea bargain opportunity to plead down to a gross misdemeanor and only receive 60 days of work release. I recommend Bill Johnston as an attorney for anyone charged with drug crimes or anything for that matter. He is a great attorney, a great guy, and a good friend.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Andy Kottkamp and his team at Kottkamp, Yedinak & Esworthy for our estate planning needs, and the experience was nothing short of excellent. From the outset, Andy and his team exhibited a level of professionalism and expertise that immediately put my wife and me at ease. They guided us through the entire process with clarity and patience, ensuring we understood each step along the way. What could have been a daunting task turned into a breeze. They were approachable, responsive, and took the time to address all our questions and concerns. Not only did Andy Kottkamp and his team provide exceptional service, but the pricing for estate planning was also the best in the valley. They offer top-notch expertise without breaking the bank, making their services accessible to a wide range of clients. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone in need of estate planning services to visit Andy at Kottkamp, Yedinak & Esworthy. You won't be disappointed!

Walter was hired regarding a bogus anti harassment case. After our first meeting I was shocked at possible outcome from such accusations. HIs quick and decisive action made the court proceeding a piece of cake. I have a great sense of security knowing to be engaged with him. I strongly recommend his services.

02 Oct, 2013 by Anonymous

When I was blind sided with a BOGUS anti harassment restraining order out of the blue, I was unsure what to do or where to turn. I was referred to Walter Potebnya by an associate of his. What I liked most about consulting with and then hiring Mr. Potebnya was that he listened to me, was able to see me almost instantly, and heard me through my concerns for about 2 hours before ever discussing fees unlike most other attorneys who size out your wallet first. He took a strong interest in my situation and explained that he had experience in the area I needed professional help with. I felt very relieved after the consultation, and hired him for my issue at hand. He was very helpful throughout the period of uncertainty even taking calls after hours if I needed, which I did once. When our day in court came I cant say enough about how nice it was to have a confident attorney by your side. His professional and aggressive approach was exactly what I needed and sought after in a Lawyer representing me in court. He made very quick work of the case and in less than a hour, we had WON, and were out of the court room. I was please with his service and would recommend Mr. Walter Potebnya to anyone who asked.

I worked with Ms. Thomas through difficult employment related contract negotiations, and felt she provided excellent counsel. She made herself as available as possible, in person, by email, or by phone. She was able to provide informed guidance on the "big picture," and timely, targeted responses on individual points in contract negotiations. She allowed me as a client significant leeway as to whether I took the lead in negotiations, or she did, which was very useful for keeping costs contained. I felt she helped me attain the best agreement possible under the specific circumstances. After this matter was resolved, I elected to seek her help again, for review of an employment agreement at a new employer. On the personal side, she is a pleasure to work with! Joyce conveys a strong sense of caring in her work, and she will know you as a person to the extent you wish, not just as an interesting case she elected to take on. Her accomplishments and contributions to society at large are not even mentioned by her, but when you research her, you will see the further testimony to her intellignence and strength of her character in supporting just causes.

I had a problem with a previous employer and a boss with a well documented history of discriminatory behavior. Joyce was recommended to me by an associate and I'm very grateful. She's a very honest and detailed attorney who knows labor law from A to Z and she doesn't miss any details. She's is an outstanding advisor/counselor and genuinely cares about her clients and social injustice. I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

After encountering numerous obstacles with my long term disability insurance company, I reached out to Roy Law. Angela, who handled my intake, was not only knowledgable and professional but also incredibly patient. Holly facilitated the paperwork, answered all my questions and ensured that all deadlines were met. Holly did a great job with keeping me updated throughout the process. Following a couple of phone conferences and submitting my information, Roy Law was able to move my case forward in a remarkably short time. Thanks to their great expertise, this process greatly alleviated the stress and frustration I was experiencing during a particularly challenging time.

I saw Bill for a complicated FDA legal issue. He was prompt, creative and presented solutions outside the box that made a difference. I particularly appreciated his expert advise on issues we hadn't even considered, like commercialization and privacy. Top notch.

Harvest Timber a selective logging Co. was audited by the IRS, & not like we assumed; they can audit you back 3 years. Their law is they can audit you back 3 years, from any date they choose, in the time frame you have been in business, in our case was 1981-1983.This was all the agent took our check book ledger, then recorded every check with a first & last name, not a business name ,, as a employee. Long story made short according to the IRS we owed 325K w/out penalties. We had to prove every employee, & sub-contractor pd their taxes, which they already had that documentation, but stated they do not have to release the information to we the defendants. There were many names we were note able to locate to get their Income tax return forms, for it was 30 yrs ago. Those people we had no proof on but new the paid their taxes because they cashed their return checks at the bar we also owned, but IRS wanted us to pay their taxes again. Well they got fooled, Bob raked them over the coal, & always said, don't be scared let them know you know your rights, & their history as a illegal co. operating out of Cuba, so it is hard to sue a foreign CO. or Agent. (That work w/ the phony Central Bank (also Illegal) & the Rothschild's. we ended up owing 10K, less than it cost the IRS in attorney fees. Thank You so much Bob, You are not only a great Attorney, your a good friend. I recommend higher than any attorney we ever had.

Lisa was vigilant and thorough in regards to investigating, accessing, and reporting back to me. My legal situation is compounded with many unusual details which is why she was not able to assist in my case after all; however, I DID want her to represent me if she could have. I learned very important details surrounding my case which is valuable to me.

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.

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.
