I have known Rand Hoch for over 16 years. I have used him as a Private Mediator when I handled defense cases for 3 years and claimant's cases for the past 13 years. He always does a great job explaining the law to the claimants. He is a former Judge of Compensation Claims so he has extensive experience with trials. He relates well with claimants. He works hard and will stay late if necessary to help the parties reach a resolution. I highly recommend Rand Hoch as a Mediator.

Rand was so very helpful to me in my attempt to get my homestead issues resolved. He is truly well connected and knowledgeable in local legal processes. He guided me towards a course of action that resulted in a quick, not litigious outcome. I would suggest him as a consultant or mediator who is well connected and knowledgeable, and with whom you will feel like you are being well represented by a trusted advisor.

My wife used Gonzalez Levenson. She was very pleased with their professionalism. When you are looking for a personal injury law firm, Gonzalez Levenson are two attorneys born and raised in South Florida. They have deep roots in the community and come from great families. Whether it is an out of court resolution or a jury trial of your peers, Gonzalez Levenson personal injury law firm are fearless attorneys that fight to get the compensation you deserve. I would not hesitate to recommend, when you are hurt due to the negligence of another, the injury lawyers at Gonzalez Levenson are the ones to see. They are brilliant and can practice any area of law. It appears that they do focus their practice in the area of motor vehicle crashes, tractor trailer, motorcycle, and car wrecks, however looking at their background, it appears they are so much more than just a motor vehicle crash/wreck personal injury car accident attorney.

I've had 5 lawyers in my 10 year long family case. While Mr. Reiner is a criminal defense lawyer, he is a trial attorney first and foremost. He advocated for me like no other lawyer in over ten years, and he was aggressive while respectful given the sensitivity of my family's case, and it was clear even the magistrate was impressed at his professionalism, preparedness, and style of argument. I highly recommend him for any trial work whether civil or criminal: well-prepared, knowledgeable, excellent understanding of statutes and case law, always available for advice and guidance, and an excellent public speaker. I can only express my gratitude for his diligence.

I hired Ken to represent my interests during a residential home purchase. This wasn't a particularly complex transaction but it did involve some unique and time-sensitive aspects. Ken's expert assistance and guidance with these issues were invaluable.
Ken was very responsive, professional and thorough throughout the entire processes. In addition to his legal competencies, Ken was very understanding and personable; working with him was a pleasure.

I would like to start off by saying that this is the first time I’ve ever needed a lawyer. Needless to say I was nervous, anxious, and didn’t even know which way to turn. I got very lucky that Nicholas C. Maniotis and paralegal Jo Hunerberg were assigned to my case. Everything was handled swiftly and professionally. They also made sure I was fully aware and completely understood what was going on every step of the way. I am extremely satisfied and forever grateful that such a scary experience turned into such a positive one. Thank you again Nicolas! I will definitely be recommending you to anyone who needs it for sure!

We reached out to Mike Pike after our auto insurance failed to settle negotiations following an accident our teenager was involved in. One week from consultation to settlement. I cannot express how much peace of mind we achieved immediately following our consultation and signing our contract with Michael Pike. His firm did their job, in a timely fashion, and didn't run up excessive billing. They advocated for our best interests and got results on an incredibly short timeline from fully executed hiring to fully executed release of liability. I cannot recommend Pike & Lustig enough.

Facing legal actions against yourself because an insurance company does not properly act on your behalf is overwhelmingly frightening. I felt anxious and lost. Having no recourse, I contacted Pike & Lustig. Mike Pike reviewed my insurance claim and my communications with the insurance company and within only ONE week managed to have the case settled and the lawsuit dismissed.
Pike & Lustig is your law firm if you are looking for knowledgeable, compassionate, dedicated, detailed, and quick to act attorneys.
I don’t even want to contemplate where I would be today if I hadn’t contacted Pike & Lustig.

I highly recommend David Vitale for his exceptional legal skills and professionalism. He was meticulous, precise, and thorough in every aspect of the case. His writing and courtroom arguments were not only intellectual but also extremely well-crafted, showcasing his ability to present analytical and detailed arguments that left no gaps for the opposition to exploit.
What truly stood out was his teamwork and his ability to provide support wherever it was needed. He additionally took time out of his preplanned vacation to do trial prep at my request, ensuring that I was comfortable in the days leading up to the trial. He offered valuable advice and guidance throughout, but when I had my own ideas and chose a different path, he respected my wishes without pushing me. His ability to listen and balance his expertise with my perspective was key to building trust. His professionalism and collaborative approach were truly exceptional.

I've been here on several occasions and I am appalled at the demeanor these attorneys have towards their delivery drivers. They act as if they're God's gift on earth. I have a little advice for them... just remember that we are potentially customers and being humble goes a long way. Practice what you preach. We refer our families and friends to the businesses we service. I am not impressed and it's sad to say that my grandmother was your client in the past. It's safe to say that our family will look elsewhere in the future.

As the founder and CEO of a national and international organization, I knew I was no better than the team around me. I'm sure Searcy Law feels the same about the members of their team. For that reason, my wife and I wanted to share with you that David Vitale and his team performed well above what we ever anticipated in our recent lawsuit in a real estate transaction matter. It was a joy watching a Summa Cum Laude outperform the best this corporate defendant had to offer. Congratulations on choosing such a great representative to the Searcy Law team.

He was paid $10.000 of my money, he never communicated with me, only my ruthless sister, I ended up with a felony which has ruined my Problem was he not knowing (especially odd for what I see is supposed to be a attorney with great reviews) what my legal address was since 2014, my license clearly stated that & I had been living with my Mother for a consistent 9 months, & through the years on and off. 2 nd Judge gave me ankle monitor, Mr Scott Skier said "Well if you had somewhere to go we could have fought this, your Mother had many problems." Even the public defender knew that was my address. Never got back in the building, never saw my mail or belongings again. The police report was absurd, my Mother had dementia and also made up stories, she stated that I had just moved in the day before coming from jail....I actually thought the detective made that up. I actually flew in January 2021 from Long Island, NY, she actually was upset I didn't make it there for Thanksgiving and Christmas, I was arrested October 2021 for nothing!!! I have to add that I went to apply for Social security, April 2024, they told me they could not pay incarcerated people, I was in shock.... Evidently the case was never closed. They thought I was an escaped prisoner😱😎😂😡I met attorneys that said they knew him very well, my sisters flew in from NY & changged the locks on my own residence that I shared with my Mother, I was told my new attorneys I could have knocked the door down on the 22 nd. floor

At a moment's notice Steve got involved in my son's assault case on and off duty officer he was specific efficient and very reasonably priced even knowing the position we were in from being out of state he could have easily taken advantage of us. My wife has been in the legal field for 30 years and at no point have I ever dealt with an attorney in Michigan that was one-tenth of the attorney that Steve is down in Florida I am the most appreciative client he's ever had and he is definitely a Class Act obviously at this time you figured out that my son's assault charges were reduced and everything was fine and even helped me try to get my bond back properly at no cost as I said he's a Class Act and I'd recommend him to anybody

My husband was in need of professional intervention in some traffic court trouble he was facing. We were panicking and needed help fast. We contacted Steve Gomberg and he handled the issues immediately, and provided us with professional representation through the entire process. Not only did he handle all matters he kept us informed of every decision and action he was taking in a timely matter. We felt very comforted and trusted him completely to handle our matters. I would 100% recommend him to anyone needing representation and I will request his services in the future should I need them.

Attorney Steven Gomberg was referred to my by a friend. After discussing my case by phone, we agreed to meet in his office. Immediately upon meeting him, I felt comfortable and confident that he was the man I wanted to represent me. Mr. Gomberg laid everything out on the table so it was clear what was expected of me and the argument he planned to use to resolve my case. He is so efficient. There were no surprises. Throughout the case, he was available anytime I had questions. He also offered to speak to family members in order to appease any of their concerns. I am very satisfied and highly recommend Attorney Gomberg.

I wouldn't let them draw up a simple power of attorney for me. I called them because they are a big firm I wanted to file suit against a local hospital for miss diagnosing me costing me months of treatment and my cancer to spread and become more aggressive. They said I didn't have a case. I wrote 50 letters and mailed them to 50 different attorneys explaining what this particular hospital did. One attorney responded. A young Lady in Georgia that was also licenced in Florida. She said you have a great case with everything backed up in writing. I would like to handle the case for you. She filed suit for me I never had to go to court or be disposed and she called me in less than a year and said we have a settlement offer from the Hospital and the doctor. My part would have been 275 thousand after she got her part. I said I'm not going to settle for that she said I knew you wouldn't because we talked about what you wanted when we first met. She said I declined it as soon as their attorney called me and I told them you wanted to go to court and pled your case to a jury to decide the amount of suffering they caused you. I thanked her the following week she called me and said they made another offer to keep it out of court. I asked her what the offer was and what my part would be. I settled for a cool 525 thousand dollars as my part she got a total of almost a million dollars on a case these attorneys said wasn't worth it. I still have cancer however I'm getting treatment and I was able to pay off all my debts including my home and set up a trust so my son would have money when I die. I would never call these people again.

He never really wanted to take the case. The majority of cases he handles deal with family law, not Personal Injury. Mr. Fields didn't want to work, as the case is not an easy one because there are multiple Defendants. Basically called us liars and treated us with little respect and a great deal of suspicion. He didn't inform us that they (LaBovick & LaBovick) were dropping us as clients, we had to find out when we arrived for a procedure from the staff at the surgical center.

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.

It’s important to clarify the fee structure during your initial consultation to avoid unexpected costs.

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.
