Brian Tatum did an absolutely amazing wonderful job for me and my family. He went above and beyond and gave my case 110% all the time! He thought of creative ideas to work through covid. He treated me and my family with the utmost respect and professionalism and yet at the same time like a friend. He got me justice. He listened and truly cared. I will forever be grateful of all he did for me. He stood up to a large insurance company and never backed down. He got me a large cash settlement. I would highly recommend Tatum law to anyone who is looking for Justice.

Herrmann and Murphy do a great job of managing their cost structure and hourly rates to optimize effectiveness at the lowest possible cost. I was very satisfied with their approach and could not be happier.
Kevin was my lead and Sean sat in to present a fearless front to our foe. Not only was I completely satisfied with the outcome but we also had quite a bit of fun on what easily could have been a stressful event.
If you want serious legal representation from extremely capable attorneys who do not take themselves too seriously, feel comfortable aligning with Herrmann and Murphy.

Mr. Daniel Lyons worked relentlessly as my Attorney on my Employment Case, where he fought tirelessly for me for over a 10 month span, and during that time he consistently was dependable, knowledgeable, professional, amazing throughout the mediation process and most importantly he always kept me informed on the status of my case and coached me on what I needed to do to help him get me the best results. With a case so complicated, over so much time it is unbelievable how much information needs to be stored, processed, recorded, referenced, reframed and presented---Mr. Lyons has an impeccable photographic memory and was able to command the respect of EVERYONE in mediation, as he utilized all of the information collected over the ENTIRE case period to conclude MY BEST OUTCOME in this case!! He's just the BEST!

Kevin is an experienced attorney who listened well to my situation. He has handled cases like mine before and worked with my former employer previously. He set reasonable expectations from the beginning, let me know what would likely happen and followed through on what he committed to doing. My case had a positive outcome. The process worked just as Kevin had outlined. He and Sean communicated with me all through the process. I would recommend him and his firm without reservation.

Laura Noble was recommended to me by another lawyer that I know well. She agreed to take a look at my case to see if she felt that she would be able to assist me obtain a favorable outcome. A demand was sent to my former employer which unfortunately fell on deaf ears. Despite this, Laura kept continuing to advocate on my behalf until it became apparent that a decision had to be made on how the case could move forward. Due to her heavy workload and the actual case facts, she wasn't able to take my case through litigation but we mutually agreed that litigation wasn't the best avenue based on the circumstances. She also provided me with an additional resource should I decide to litigate my case. Laura was receptive, helpful, responsive, knowledgeable and fought hard for me. What I really liked about Laura most was that she was direct and to the point and told me up front what her expectations were and how she would fight for me. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a hard-working and well respected professional lawyer in the employment law field.

My experience was positive and I am grateful that I chose the Noble Law firm to represent my case.
I was referred to Noble Law Firm by other lawyers whom I called directly for advice prior to actually speaking to Laura, which gave me an immediate sense of confidence that my case will be handled by experts. Indeed, the Noble Team Firm demonstrated excellence in their expertise in addition to their already known extensive legal work experience and stellar academic background. From initial interview by Laura who spoke to me immediately on the same day I called the firm, followed by Deirdre who immediately took care of the paperwork and scheduled a meeting with Nick (as my lawyer) for office consultation proved efficiency and commitment to my case. From my first conversation with Nick, you become aware of his integrity and knowledge, and more over the passion he exudes for his work. Any concern or question I had was immediately addressed; any information I requested was promptly forwarded; and phone calls were answered in a timely manner. My opinion and thoughts regarding my case when discussed with my lawyer were treated with respect and attention and I think that’s important in a lawyer-client relationship. I felt validated that my input was heard and I received an honest response, which showed my lawyer took the time to listen and deciphered information pertinent to the case.
From experience, I strongly believe the Noble Law Firm can help resolve cases (simple or complex) on employment- related matters. It took 3 months for Noble Law Firm to resolve the case but throughout, both Laura and Nick continued to show honesty, genuine warmth and kindness. They cared and were strategic in seeking resolution for their client’s best interest.
I highly recommend the Noble Law Firm without reservation to anyone seeking legal representation on employment matters. Thank you so much!

I can not recommend the team of Attorney Lauren Newton and Kelli enough. When I first contacted Ms. Newton and explained my situation and how I felt steamrolled by the insurance company in my case, Lauren listened and said something that meant the world to me: "I want you to stop worrying. I am going to take care of this now." And take care of it, she did. She took the weight on my shoulders and hoisted it out of sight, offering me freedom and trust. Ms. Newton is a bulldog and fights hard for her clients. Yet she is empathetic and compassionate. During depositions, I witnessed how savvy, smart, determined, and unafraid she is in advocating for and protecting her client. I appreciate all these attributes of Ms. Newton's in addition to her professionalism and frankness with me about my risks and rewards. Hiring Ms. Newton was the first time I have ever needed an attorney ... and I hope my last. But should I ever need legal help again, she and her assistant Kelli will be my top team. My appreciation for all their efforts runs deep.

The legal consultation was a profoundly positive experience. Micheal L. Littlejohn Jr.'s reality-driven approach, clarity, understanding, and adherence to his brand promise collectively contributed to a consultation that was both informative and reassuring. For anyone seeking legal advice that is rooted in facts and delivered with a personal touch, this consultation comes highly recommended. The cost maybe a little higher but he's worth it.

I had a will and trust done by Moore &Van Allen 3 years ago. I have 5 children from a blended family. A trust was put in place originally to help 4/5 handle inheritance. We decided the remaining one needed to be included in the trust rather than inherit with no restrictions. This change entailed making ONE switch to have this son match the others exactly, not even any real new language. My bill for this? $1648. This is about 1/2 the charge for the original trust. I'll never use them again, and I would advise getting a clear estimate before they do anything! My mistake for trusting them.

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:
-
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. -
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. -
What are my chances of success?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case, including potential challenges and the likelihood of success. -
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. -
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. -
What damages or remedies can I seek?
Ask about the types of compensation or corrective action you can pursue, such as back pay, emotional distress damages, job reinstatement, or policy changes. -
What steps should I take to protect my rights?
Ask for advice on how to document evidence, handle workplace or housing interactions, and avoid retaliation while your case is pending.
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.
