Kurt exemplifies ethics, integrity, and intelligence. He created a safe and knowledgeable environment that helped me understand my case. Kurt was clear, honest, and responsive, providing information in a concise manner that was easy to digest. He took the time to ensure that all my questions were answered and that I felt as comfortable as possible. He guided me through the mediation process, ensuring I was well-prepared and protected from further emotional distress caused by my previous workplace. I highly recommend Kurt, as I have already done!

I can’t say enough good things about attorney Gene and attorney Ryan at Sullivan & Sullivan! After a long and challenging journey with my case, I’m thrilled to say it’s finally over. There were so many ups and downs along the way, and at times, I felt like giving up. But Gene and Ryan were there every step of the way, offering the expertise, confidence, and support I needed to keep going. I’m so grateful for attorney Jenna’s referral because choosing Sullivan & Sullivan was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. These two attorneys are exceptional at what they do! The care and compassion they have showed me during the entire process made all the difference from sending me to the best doctors for my medical care. Thank you both for everything! The closure and success of my case will not have been possible without you. God Bless… I Highly recommend Sullivan & Sullivan.

I don't know where I would be without Traci. I found her when my life was falling apart after an emotional, traumatic, and complicated wrongful termination. She is an absolute bulldog who will fight tooth and nail for her clients. Not only did she tirelessly dedicate herself to my case, she also cared for me on a personal level while still maintaining the utmost professionalism. She was patient with me, made sure I was always well-informed & prepared, and refused to back down from anyone. I almost felt sorry for the opposing council that went up against Traci in my case; she is such a sharp, aggressive attorney who consistently demonstrated her thorough knowledge of the law. She not only won my case bigtime, she also helped me get my confidence & power back in a what felt like a hopeless situation. I will forever be indebted to Traci and will surely recommend her to anyone who may find themselves in need of representation.

Dan Rose has represented me, my family, and several of our friends over the past 25 years. He is our go to guy and a comfort to us, knowing he will always have our backs. He has never failed us. He wins. He is a highly skillful and accomplished professional with an impeccable record of successes in the cases he has taken on. He is efficient and thorough and effective. One may say this about other attorneys, but Dan has something special. He has a fire in his belly. Once Dan is your advocate, he is intrepid and tenacious in pursuit of justice for you. That’s what you want in an advocate. For me personally, what makes him extra special is his sensitivity, compassion, patience and understanding of what people are going through in the legal process and how intrusive it can be. Dan really gets this.He keeps his clients informed every step of the way. When you hire Dan, you not only hire an attorney, but also, you hire a partner who will be in lockstep with you throughout the legal process. I give Dan the highest rating possible. Hands down. He’s the greatest!

I cannot recommend Allenby Law enough for their outstanding work on my estate planning. Attorney Dawn Allenby and her assistant Naomi Arana demonstrated exceptional professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail throughout the entire process. They guided me through creating my revocable living trust, Will, health directive, and power of attorney with patience and clarity, ensuring every aspect was addressed thoroughly. They took special care to include all my properties, such as my townhouse in San Diego and my home in Oklahoma, in my estate planning portfolio. Their meticulous efforts have given me a comprehensive and well-organized plan, providing the peace of mind I need. I now feel confident that when the time comes, my family will know exactly what steps to take without facing any unnecessary financial burdens. Dawn and Naomi’s dedication, expertise, and commitment to their clients’ needs truly set them apart. If you’re seeking top-notch legal assistance for your estate planning, look no further than Allenby Law. I am so grateful for their excellent service!

He helped navigate through the complexities of multiple car insurance companies, hospitals, health insurance, court filings and every single legality involved with the accident. His patience, knowledge and persistence effectively resulted in securing the maximum settlement for my daughter’s future. My daughter and I will forever be grateful that his hard work and dedication to our case means that we can put that part of our lives behind us and look forward to a future of healing and thriving.

If I could give Scott and his firm 100 stars out of 5, I absolutely would. Words can't fully capture how much Scott did for me and my family during one of the most challenging times in our lives. His professionalism, kindness, empathy, and exceptional expertise in every detail and strategy of our case were truly remarkable. Throughout the entire process, I felt not just supported but genuinely cared for, as if someone was fighting tirelessly for me when I lacked the strength to do so myself. If you're looking for a lawyer who combines an unparalleled understanding of the legal system with unmatched compassion, look no further than Scott. We can't say enough wonderful things about him and the outstanding work he does!

Craig Byrnes is incredible. I found Craig after I sought legal representation after my employer presented me with a difficult situation. He was so responsive, knowledgeable, and clear in his approach to protect my interests. Craig is adept at filtering out ethical or emotional issues from legal issues, and does not waste time on futile matters. He is extremely efficient and does not sugarcoat anything. He is great at client management too, keeping me focused on the task at hand and talking sense into me when needed. Craig was able to reach an amicable resolution with my employer to end the situation gracefully and rationally. I don't know if anyone has referred to their attorney as a knight in shining armor, but he is definitely that. I highly recommend him to anyone - you want him on your side.

I cannot explain the great help Craig was to me in my case. He picked up the dirty work another attorney left behind, In no time he had answers for me, that he explained in great detail until I was on board with understanding the big picture. He is extraordinary and professional. Craig kept me in the loop every step of the way, and unlike other attorneys, he never mentioned time spent on the phone nor email exchanges, he doesn't make it about money. He truly cares about his clients and makes time for them. I am beyond happy with the settlement he obtained, and would highly recommend Craig to anyone looking for an honest, professional, experienced and empathetic attorney. If ever there is need of representation again, I would not think twice to call on Craig, the relationship we built and advised he gave me has helped me lifelong.

Mr. Byrnes served me twice. I first met him when searching for an employment lawyer because I wanted a contract if I was to leave my job to go help prospective employer with their business. I was leaving a highly paid job and wanted both sides to be clear as to what we agreed to. Once the contract was signed and I resigned my other job, my employer refused to pay me what was agreed to in the contract. Mr. Byrnes provided excellent advice throughout the whole mess, was strategic in his approach, and was far more knowledgeable that some of the lawyers the employer hired (employer went through about 3 lawyers before finally settling). Mr. Byrnes got me a big settlement. I cannot say enough positive things about Mr. Byrnes. His professionalism is outstanding. He prepared for the case so thoroughly that no matter what opposing lawyers might throw at us, he always responded with facts and law, so they stopped arguing with him. I wouldn't want to have to be on the other side in a case he was involved with. He always told me the truth, explained the law and how judges were ruling on various points, and he listened to my concerns with great sensitivity. Anyone who has an employment law issue can do no better than turning to Craig Byrnes. Ultimately, he stood strong for me and obtained a big settlement for me.

Mr. John C. Fowler is a godsend. I was in a work related accident a few years ago and going through some hard times because of it. At the time I didn't not know that I had any rights or that I could get help to get medical attention I needed. Without any help or any direction in my situation I felt so lost and depressed. But all of this changed when I met Mr. Fowler, he explained to me my rights, he got me the help I needed to get back on my feet and with time I was able to go back to work. He worked long and hard to settle our case. I thank Mr. Fowler for helping me and my family during this difficult time in life we went through. If you are going through something similar and are looking for a Professional Attorney, Mr. John C. Fowler is only a phone call away.

I was originally trained as a mediator in 1992. I taught conflict management at the university level between 1995 and 2013. In the last 25 years I have participated in a supportive role in dozens of mediations. It is with that expertise in the field of conflict resolution and mediation that I give Karen Sloat 5 stars. So many attorney mediators just do what they were trained to do in law school-- analyze the case and argue the merits. That often results in the same adversarial contest and entrenchment that gave rise to the lawsuit to begin with. Skilled mediators, like Ms. Sloat, do more than that. They identify parties needs and work to achieve outcomes that meet those needs. They approach resolution of conflict as a collaboration, rather than a zero-sum game and encourage parties to view negotiations from that perspective. These are the ways in which Karen Sloat showed us she is not just a lawyer relying on what she learned in law school, but a mediator capable of applying mediation the theory and technique to the cases in front of her. It is beyond the scope of this short review to comment on Ms. Sloat’s communication and facilitation skills, capacity for neutrality, etc. Suffice to say that if she didn’t have those in abundance too, she would not be the very capable, dedicated mediator I observed during a recent mediation.

Tried to get a phone to call to see if I could hire or see if we would be a good fit. Just wanted to charge $375 for initial consult. I asked if that would go towards retainer and clerk did not know. I was offered email with info that’s generic? Then she said best of luck and have a great day? Not really the type of server I was expecting. I did not necessarily want to speak with attorney just yet. A paralegal would have been fine. Was willing to sign a retainer so long it was worth pursuing. Not the best way to sale the firm services.

I came upon Mr. Whooper through a 3rd party referral agency while seeking unpaid wages and Labor Law code violation compensation. This Cadillac of men, not only did everything I was told from the first time meeting him, he went above and beyond what I thought a lawyer would ever do. This man GENUINELY cares about his clients and he was nothing short of a zealous advocate in regards to my case and my settlement funds. If you have an inkling you are getting done over by your employer do not hesitate to call this physical manifestation of an inter-stellar being with and uncanny amount of knowledge of his practice. He won't BS with you, he won't whisper sweet sweet nothings in your ear to appease you; this is not a "yes man" this is Jason the fight for your rights "Ass" Whooper!

I just wanted to take a moment to not only post my highest recommendation for Barbara, but also thank her. When I first started looking for representation, my instinct was to search online. I went to a few interviews with other attorneys , but I didn't feel like they understood the complexities and severity of what I had gone through. They all wanted to take my case, but I felt like a number...as though it was all just dollar signs to them. Finally after much effort and frustration, I asked one of my attorney friends who he thought was the best in the industry. Right away, he arranged a phone consultation with Barbara. After our initial conversation, she made time to meet with me as soon as possible. She understood the minute intricacies of what I experienced immediately. It was a very difficult/ painful issue to talk about, and Barbara made me feel welcome and understood. She not only is an absolute master in her field, but she is very astute and empathetic as well. From there, Barbara & her protege Emily Stehr ( brilliant rising star), took care of every detail. They produced and amazing outcome while at the same time caring for my discretion. I can't recommend these ladies enough. Barbara and Emily are the best, and I'm so thankful that I found them:):):) ....On a side note, I really appreciated how Barbara took such meticulous care and attention to mentoring the next generation to follow her. Emily is clearly going to be a leader in her field, just like Barbara:):)

I called Ms. Ekaterina Berman to consult with a case, and she provided excellent consultation even she didn't have time to take my case. She listens really well. She gets my point immediately, and gets to her point clearly. The communication was very professional and easy. She offered her professional take on the case and on my concerns, even I haven't hired her. She does not just care about money. She said, to save the time and money, what is the good way to proceed instead of forcing me a case to open and hire her. Although I didn't end up with working with her on my case, I feel only someone who is good at what he/she is doing can do practice and work in the way Ms. Ekaterina Berman does. So I feel this is outstanding from others in the business, and it should be made aware to anyone who seeks for help and service.

Ravi is a top-notch attorney. Very knowledgeable in the Heggstad petition and helped me so much during the process. He checked in often & kept me informed during the process. His cost was incredibly reasonable. I had two other consultations before I chose Ravi and I couldn't have asked for more. If you're in doubt, don't, hire him, you won't regret it.

Navigating the sale of my business was one of the most stressful experiences I’ve faced, but Vincent Tong of TONG LAW made it manageable and even seamless. Vincent helped me establish a thorough strategy, drafted necessary contracts that protected my interests and walked me through each step of the process, ensuring I understood all the details. Vincent is also an expert in the area of employment law; Vincent helped me with a separate situation with an employer. Vincent's expert advice and calm, steady counsel turned what could have been an overwhelming ordeal into a smooth and successful transaction. Thanks to his guidance, I felt confident and assured every step of the way. If you are a business owner, especially one who is considering buying or selling a business, or if you are an employee or employer dealing with an employment issues, I can’t imagine a better legal partner than TONG LAW. :)

The journey through the immigration process seemed daunting and choosing an attorney seemed perhaps even more daunting. After a first consultation with Kevin, the process just appeared very straightfoward. All the information he gave was clear and concise, bringing alot of needed reassurance. He consistently remained accessible during the entire process with upmost patience answering any new questions that would arise. There we're some complex aspects to my case that required in depth law expertise and Kevin went above and beyond to finalize brilliantly! I couldn't have found a better attorney! For the success of my applications but also for the extra kindness demonstrated along the way. I also want to mention how Immigrating is and can be a very costly journey to embark on. Affordability and unseen costs we're a concern. I have appreciated that Kevin kept all fees transparent and consistently fair from go to finish! I think he could charge more in regards of his time offered, so many other attorneys do so ruthlessly but this too reflects kevin's integrity and dedication to helping others. I classify Kevin in the world of attorneys as a rare gem and find. He's been a blessing on my journey 🙏

I reached out to Webber Law Group during a very hard time in my life with a potential case. I was very discouraged at the time because other law firms that I reached out to not want to take on my case. Luckily, I found Webber Law and Kelsey took my case on! I really enjoyed working with everyone, anytime I had a question I would most immediately get a call back from Kelsey. My case almost approached 2 years (at no fault to the law firm) and Kelsey was always positive, upbeat and very wonderful at helping navigate the challenges faced. I couldn’t have got through that time without the support and help of Kelsey and his team. I know for others in my position it is scary to seek help from an attorney and you never know who you are dealing with and if they are qualified to assist you but I truly am so thankful to have found this law firm and I highly suggest putting your trust into Kelsey and his team. Thank you so much Kelsey, I am forever grateful for your guidance, patience and hard work!!

What a Discrimination Lawyer Can Do for You

A discrimination lawyer specializes in handling cases where individuals or groups face unfair treatment based on protected characteristics, such as race, gender, age, religion, national origin, disability, or sexual orientation. These lawyers assist clients in filing discrimination claims, representing them in legal proceedings, and ensuring that their rights under federal, state, and local laws are upheld. Discrimination cases may arise in employment, housing, education, public accommodations, or other settings.

Whether you’ve been discriminated against at work, denied housing, or treated unfairly in other areas of life, a discrimination lawyer can help you navigate the legal process and seek compensation or corrective action.

When Should I Hire a Discrimination Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a discrimination lawyer in several situations where unfair treatment occurs based on protected characteristics. Common scenarios include:

  • Employment Discrimination:
    • Workplace discrimination: If you’ve been treated unfairly at work because of your race, gender, disability, religion, age, sexual orientation, or another protected status, a lawyer can help you file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or a similar state agency.
    • Wrongful termination: If you were fired due to discrimination or retaliation for reporting discriminatory behavior, a lawyer can assist with filing a lawsuit and seeking compensation for lost wages, emotional distress, and other damages.
    • Failure to promote: If you’ve been denied a promotion or opportunities due to discriminatory practices, a lawyer can investigate the claim and represent you in legal actions against your employer.
    • Harassment: If you’ve experienced workplace harassment, such as sexual harassment or a hostile work environment based on your race, gender, or other characteristics, a lawyer can help you pursue legal remedies.
  • Housing Discrimination:
    • Denial of housing: If you’ve been denied housing due to your race, disability, family status, or other protected factors, a lawyer can help you file a complaint with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) or sue the landlord or property manager for violating the Fair Housing Act.
    • Unfair rental practices: If a landlord or property manager treats you unfairly based on discriminatory factors (e.g., refusing reasonable accommodations for a disability), a lawyer can help you enforce your rights.
  • Education Discrimination:
    • Discrimination in schools: If you or your child has faced discrimination in an educational setting based on race, disability, gender, or religion, a lawyer can help you file complaints under laws like Title VI, Title IX, or the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
  • Public Accommodations:
    • Denial of services: If a business or public service has discriminated against you based on race, gender, disability, or other protected characteristics, a lawyer can assist you in filing a complaint or lawsuit under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) or other anti-discrimination laws.

Hiring a discrimination lawyer early can help protect your rights and ensure that your claim is filed within legal deadlines.

What Does a Discrimination Lawyer Do?

A discrimination lawyer provides a range of legal services to help individuals and groups fight against discriminatory practices. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Filing discrimination claims: A lawyer can help you file a complaint with government agencies, such as the EEOC, HUD, or your state’s human rights commission. They ensure that your claim is properly documented and filed within required time limits.
  • Investigating discrimination claims: Discrimination lawyers gather evidence, interview witnesses, and review documents to build a strong case for proving discriminatory practices.
  • Negotiating settlements: In many cases, a lawyer can negotiate a settlement with the employer, landlord, or other party involved in the discrimination case, seeking compensation or corrective action without going to trial.
  • Representing clients in court: If your case goes to court, a lawyer will represent you during hearings, present evidence, and argue your case before a judge or jury.
  • Handling retaliation claims: If you face retaliation for filing a discrimination complaint or reporting discriminatory practices, a lawyer can help you pursue a retaliation claim.
  • Advising on legal rights: A discrimination lawyer explains your legal rights under federal and state anti-discrimination laws, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the ADA, the Fair Housing Act, and others.

How Are Discrimination Lawyers Paid?

Discrimination lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the expected duration of the legal process. Common payment structures include:

  • Contingency fee: Many discrimination lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case. Their fee is usually a percentage of the settlement or court award, typically ranging from 25% to 40%.
  • Hourly rate: For cases that don’t involve a contingency fee arrangement, some lawyers charge by the hour. Hourly rates for discrimination lawyers generally range from $200 to $600 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and the case’s complexity.
  • Flat fee: For simpler legal tasks, such as drafting a discrimination complaint or providing legal advice, some lawyers may charge a flat fee.
  • Pro bono or reduced fees: Some discrimination lawyers offer pro bono (free) or reduced-fee services, especially in cases involving low-income clients or significant civil rights issues.

It’s important to discuss fee arrangements during your initial consultation to ensure that you understand the total cost of legal services and how payment will be handled.

How Much Does a Discrimination Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a discrimination lawyer depends on factors like the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the potential for a settlement or trial. General cost estimates include:

  • Contingency fees: If the lawyer works on a contingency basis, their fee will typically range from 25% to 40% of any settlement or court award. For example, if you win a settlement of $50,000 and the lawyer’s fee is 30%, they would receive $15,000, and you would keep the remaining $35,000.
  • Hourly rates: Discrimination lawyers who charge by the hour typically bill between $200 and $600 per hour. For example, a case that takes 20 hours of legal work at $300 per hour would cost $6,000 in legal fees.
  • Flat fees: Some legal services, such as filing a discrimination complaint or providing a legal consultation, may be available for a flat fee ranging from $500 to $2,500, depending on the complexity of the task.
  • Pro bono or sliding scale fees: In some cases, particularly for low-income individuals, lawyers may offer reduced fees or work pro bono.

Always ask for a detailed estimate of costs during your consultation, and clarify whether the lawyer offers flexible payment options.

Top Questions to Ask a Discrimination Lawyer

Before hiring a discrimination lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the experience and qualifications to handle your case. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with discrimination cases?
    Ensure that the lawyer has handled discrimination cases similar to yours, whether it involves employment, housing, or public accommodation discrimination.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee, hourly rate, or flat fee, and ask for a detailed breakdown of costs.
  3. What are my chances of success?
    Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case, including potential challenges and the likelihood of success.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Discrimination cases can take time to resolve, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to take, from filing a complaint to reaching a settlement or going to trial.
  5. Will I need to go to court?
    Ask whether your case is likely to settle out of court or if a trial may be necessary. If a trial is possible, ask what steps the lawyer will take to prepare.
  6. What damages or remedies can I seek?

How to Check the Credibility of a Discrimination Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable discrimination lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:

  • Check their bar status: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and in good standing with the state bar association. You can check this on your state bar’s website.
  • Look for discrimination case experience: Review the lawyer’s website or profile to ensure they specialize in employment law, civil rights, or discrimination cases and have successfully handled similar cases in the past.
  • 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 their experience with the lawyer.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on discrimination matters.
  • Check for certifications or memberships: Look for certifications or memberships in civil rights organizations or employment law associations, such as the National Employment Lawyers Association (NELA).

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a discrimination lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Detailed account of the discrimination: Provide a clear description of the discriminatory actions, including dates, locations, and individuals involved. Document specific incidents and any witnesses who can support your claim.
  • Workplace or housing records: Bring copies of relevant employment or housing documents, such as job performance evaluations, rental agreements, emails, or written correspondence related to the discrimination.
  • Company or organization policies: If the discrimination occurred in the workplace or housing, bring copies of company policies, employee handbooks, or housing agreements that outline anti-discrimination policies.
  • Evidence of damages: Provide evidence of any financial losses, such as lost wages, job termination, or increased rent, as well as emotional or psychological distress caused by the discrimination.
  • Previous complaints or actions: If you’ve filed previous complaints or taken any action related to the discrimination, such as reporting the issue to HR or filing a complaint with a government agency, bring copies of those documents.
  • Questions about the process: Prepare a list of questions about your legal options, potential outcomes, and the lawyer’s approach to handling your case.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice for pursuing your discrimination claim.
