Lee and his team have been an invaluable asset throughout the past 4+ years.
They guided me through every step of the process with clarity and professionalism. Their knowledge of the law and ability to anticipate potential challenges were instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome.
However, what truly sets Lee apart is his compassionate and empathetic approach. He understood the emotional turmoil I was experiencing and provided a listening ear that went above and beyond anything I could have expected. His support extended beyond the legal realm, offering invaluable emotional guidance during a difficult time.
I wholeheartedly recommend Jacobson Legal Services to anyone facing family law matters. Their combination of legal acumen and compassionate care is unparalleled.

I hired Jacobson Legal Services to handle my divorce after 24 years of marriage. As you can imagine it was very tumultuous time in my life. The team, led by Lee Jacobson took time to get to know me. They made me feel like they were apart of the fight not just representing me. What I really appreciate is that they always told me the truth and kept me appraised of my options. The professionalism they showed in their attention to details was key during these proceedings. I always saw that they were better prepared than opposing counsel.
I would highly recommend them for any of your legal services. I plan to continue to use them for all of my legal needs.
I appreciate the work that was done on my behalf.
Thank you

I reached out to this law office about a year ago. The main attorney, Lee Jacobson, was rude and unwilling to give my situation a detailed look. I was being talked over with opinions on why my case was monetarily "not worth it," all because this guy refused to give it a genuine review. Thankfully, I found another attorney who took on my case successfully and is truly passionate about helping people, not just picking cases based on potential monetary gain.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Christine and Thurston Law, and I can confidently say it was the best legal experience I've ever had. From start to finish, the process was incredibly smooth and convenient, thanks to their efficient online system. I was able to handle my case from the comfort of my own home, making everything super easy and hassle-free. The team at Thurston Law Firm demonstrated professionalism and expertise every step of the way, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of legal assistance.

If you are looking for a professional & courteous law office, I highly recommend Renu and the Thamman Law Office.
What stands out about Renu is her kind, patient and thoughtful approach in listening to her clients and then providing options of what can be done. I felt when I talked to Renu her knowledge shone through and she was able to explain to me the many facets of law in the simplified way I was looking for.
Renu did not rush me in any way and provided realistic options of what could be done in the matter I was discussing with her. Additionally, nor did I feel like I was being rushed into spending money – Renu outlined the options available and kindly suggested I review the information she had provided and come back to her if I wanted to progress it further. I felt very confident and looked after having Renu manage my case and fight my corner!
For all the reasons above, I wanted to provide 5*/5* review and finish by reiterating that I highly recommend the Thamman Law Office for anyone seeking legal assistance.

Renu is a true professional and I’m beyond happy I was referred to her. If I could leave more than five stars, I absolutely would! She’s thorough, always one step ahead and is nothing short of exceptional at what she does. If I ever had to go through this type of ordeal again, I’d absolutely want her by my side. I truly can’t recommend her enough!

In short... Excellent.
Mr Richard Johnson and his colleagues have been the most on-hands and not only personable but at same time professionally proficient and super detailed in their craft.
After my injury and subsequent surgeries I've learned more about my own condition and medical systems from Mr Johnson than any medical provider. I truly don't know how I would have gotten through the past years without his help and humility and wisdom.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible legal representation I received from my Attorney Andrew Domin regarding my worker's compensation case. When I first reached out to him , I was lost tired and scared by the complexities of the system at my job , but Attorney Andrew immediately put me at ease with their clear explanations and unwavering commitment to advocating for my rights. Throughout the entire process, they demonstrated an unmatched level of expertise in workers' comp law, meticulously reviewing every detail of my case and ensuring all necessary medical documentation was properly submitted. Andrew & his assistant Lulu dedication to my case was exceptional, always keeping me informed of every development and promptly responding to any questions or concerns I had. Thanks to my Attorney Andrew's aggressive negotiation tactics, I was able to secure a settlement far exceeding what I initially thought possible, allowing me to focus on my recovery without the added stress of financial worry. As I brag about Domin law firm his assistant Lulu was also so helpful and knowledgeable with the questions a I had. And also gave me the right answer researching until she got the correct answer.

Anderson, Boback, & Marshall were great. Jessica Sindel and Jessica Marshall had the patience of saints when dealing with me through such a tough process. It felt like we shared a common goal and reached the expectation that I had in spite of the other side making some very wild claims... I was able to overcome all of that with their help and at no point did I feel like they were billing me unnecessarily nor refusing to take steps to make meaningful progress like other firms I had to deal with.

We were involved in a life changing accident, our insurance company told us that due to certain technicalities, we wouldn't receive any compensation..Kevin and his team are amazing, and well skilled! They truly know and understand ALL of the laws..They made a way when I didn't see one! Kevin was able to get what we deserved!!! insurance companies can speak in such legal terms which is hard for the average person to understand! He literally took us out of the fight,and fought hard for us!!! And was absolutely more than reasonable with pricing!! We can now start to rebuild our life, due to his help. We are forever greatful!

I can’t express how grateful I am to Keating Law. After I was car-doored by a delivery truck while riding my bike on Milwaukee, the Keating team made sure I got what I needed to be able to pay my medical bills. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine kindness built my confidence in them from the start. As a teacher, my schedule is pretty strict and structured around the school year. Keating worked around my schedule to ensure I could be as involved as possible. I cannot recommend them enough!!

My experience with Hurley McKenna and Mertz was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I first contacted them, it was clear that I was in good hands. The team, led by Michael T. Mertz, took the time to understand every aspect of my case, no matter how complex it was. They were patient, thorough, and made sure I fully understood the legal process at every stage. It was obvious that they genuinely cared about my situation and were committed to doing their best for me.
One thing that stood out to me was the level of professionalism and integrity they displayed throughout my case. In an industry where it can sometimes be hard to trust who is truly on your side, I never once doubted their dedication to me as a client. They worked tirelessly to ensure that every detail was carefully examined and that no stone was left unturned. Even when challenges arose, they were there to guide me and reassure me that they were doing everything possible to address the situation.
Michael T. Mertz, in particular, was outstanding. His legal expertise and knowledge were evident from the start, but what really impressed me was his compassion. He treated me like more than just a case number, and his personal attention made me feel confident and supported. He listened to my concerns, answered all my questions, and kept me informed of any updates. In moments where I felt overwhelmed, he took the time to explain everything clearly and help me see the bigger picture. His calm, caring demeanor made a huge difference during a stressful time.
While I have seen a few reviews of this firm that mentioned the length of time their cases took, I have to disagree with those criticisms. Legal matters, especially complex cases, take time to handle properly. Rushing through important details could mean missing out on key factors that could affect the outcome. I appreciated that Hurley McKenna and Mertz took their time to ensure that my case was handled with care, and it was clear that they were committed to achieving the best possible result rather than rushing to wrap things up quickly.
In the end, I felt not only that I had chosen the right legal team, but that I was treated with respect, compassion, and fairness. I would highly recommend Hurley McKenna and Mertz to anyone who is dealing with a complicated legal situation. If you want lawyers who are thorough, honest, and genuinely care about their clients, this is the firm you should turn to. They exceeded my expectations and went above and beyond to make sure I had the support I needed throughout the entire process. I couldn’t have asked for better representation, and I am incredibly grateful for their hard work and dedication.

Jamie was amazing. During the time I worked with her she explained each step in the case and made sure I understood everything. She was great at responding to me and presented the pros and cons for my lawsuit and this allowed me to make an educated and wise decisions. She was extremely knowledgable about the laws and processes throughout my case. She was able to negotiate a settlement I was comfortable with and I think she did a terrific job in representing me. I highly recommend her!

Jamie is an incredibly practical, thoughtful, non-nonsense lawyer. She is a great counselor and strategic thinker. And is unflappable. Given her line of business (employment law), being unflappable is really important! I have referred her to 3 other people already, she is an amazing asset.

Jamie was recommended to me by a trusted peer to assist me in a difficult employment situation. From consultation, through the engagement to post-resolution, Jamie was prompt, professional, efficient and most critically, patient, candid and reassuring to me and handled opposing counsel with incredible courtesy. When we need lawyers, we are often in times of crisis and having counsel that takes the time to calmly explain things, provide options, and understand you and your situation in such detail is what differentiates lawyers who can get the job done from those who you come to realize were essential to helping you survive and even thrive in times of transition, change and crisis. Jamie is the dependable, smart and experienced person you want to have on your side if you ever need a lawyer. She will give you options and get the best result that can be gotten for you in your circumstances based on your directions. To work with Jamie was to have a wonderful encounter that came out of an otherwise awful experience.

Quite possibly the most frustrating experience with a recruiter I've ever had. Doesn't respond to messages, even though I replied to the questions within 30 minutes. Asked for time to meet and discuss a job, I agreed, then that time came and went with no call. I have no idea why I gave it another shot after that, but I did. I offered several times I was available over several days. We agreed to a day and time, then a day later I get a message claiming they double booked the time. Wait, what? I would strongly caution if you're trying to do business with this company. The recruiter is the first point of contact and first impressions are absolutely everything. What if I were the one carrying on that way? They'd send me a rejection letter!

I cannot express my gratitude enough for FOX & FOX, S.C. and especially Mr. Randall Gold. I came to the firm at a time when I thought all was hopeless and I that I was going to have to leave my graduate position after spending five dedicated years in graduate school without my PhD - which was devastating.
I had reached out to other firms, but none were willing to take my case because, even though I was an employee at the university I attended, I was also a student - each firm denied me, stating they were not well versed enough to handle my case. Mr. Gold, did not see me as just a student but as a person who desperately needed assistance. He not only was willing to take my case, but was passionate and sympathetic. Mr. Gold always made time for my questions, was prompt with feedback, and was kind and patient. He was also honest with me, and made sure to convey realistic expectations to me - which was greatly appreciated. In my opinion, Mr. Gold went above and beyond what I had expected - his expertise with the law and guidance always made me feel at ease while I was going through a terrible situation.
I do not believe I would have been able to finish my PhD if Mr. Gold hadn't been willing to pursue my discrimination case. I still cannot believe that the ruling has been in my favor and the university is willing to help me graduate. Mr. Gold and the FOX & FOX, S.C. law firm is amazing and should be celebrated because they hold institutions accountable for the injustices they commit and ensure that people receive the fair treatment they deserve.

Attorney Gold first represented me with my discrimination case 2002 and most recent case 2016. I can only describe my experience with this law firm as positive. Not only is Attorney Randall Gold very professional in the way that he has dealt with me, but also through every proceeding that transpired. He knows the law and is superior at advising. I could not be happier. Excellent Service and a prompt call back!

I hired Randall to help me through a sudden job termination that involved retaliation after filing a complaint against my manager who exhibited a pattern of damaging childish behavior of disparaging Asians and Jews, among many other terrible things.
This being my first ever experience of this nature, I did a lot of online research before choosing Randall of Fox and Fox. I wanted a lawyer that would represent me in a reasonable and fair way. As much as I was disappointed in the way my job ended and the company continues to harbor a known racist/anti Semite, I was not out to do damage. The severance I was initially offered was decent, but I knew the context of my termination was not. Because of that, I sought representation.
After meeting with Randall in person, I was confident he was the lawyer to help me through this. He was straight forward and told me what to expect, what was reasonable, and what was fantasy.
Randall was quick to respond to emails and kept me up to date every step of the way. He listened to and respected my opinions. On occasion, he would talk me off the ledge and remind me things will be resolved quickly and to my advantage. I never felt belittled or that he was ignoring my emails/phone calls. He treated me and worked with me with respect.
Randall got me a great settlement in a short amount of time to avoid proceeding to court. I wanted this whole thing resolved quickly so I could move forward!

I was involved in a very bad car accident where a guy ran a red light and nearly killed me and had put me in the hospital for nearly a month.Once I was able to speak again my first call was to Christine,She expressed her concern and thoughts for my well being.This isn’t my first time I’ve reached out to Christine ..which made the process easier . Christine had settled my case with one of the largest settlements awarded for an accident of this magnitude…..If you’re contemplating on an Attorney,Please have no second thoughts.She is the Lion and the lamb , you wouldn’t want to be on the other side of the court going up against her .She is direct, kind, diligent and in the end she does her due diligence with a VERY FAVORABLE outcome. Christine has represented Many members of my family and friends for nearly 25 years ALL of which have thanked me for recommending her.Thank you Christine for everything you’ve done for me my family and friends.

I just witnessed one of the most inappropriate issues in court involving this firm. It was extremely easy for them to throw another person under the boat and it was absolutely sickening to watch.

When you are terminated, regardless of the reason, you find yourself lost a sea. The self doubt, negative self talk and second guessing can cripple you. Catherine represented me in an employment law case and every encounter was compassionate. I was never just a call she made that day. She explained, double explained then over explained to make sure I knew what was happening in my case. She stood up for me against my former employer and helped me regain the self confidence I lost due to my termination. During deposition she was a force to reckoned with and allowed me to witness a strong female to emulate during my deposition. She stood up for me and is truly a hero for those who have been unjustly terminated.

I was recommended this place by a mutual friend, and I have to say I am incredibly satisfied with my time there.
They were professional, they got the job done promptly, they kept me updated, and they were very nice.
Hopefully I don't have to open any other cases in my lifetime, but if I do I know where I'm going.

Lisa Stauff was my attorney for many years so I know her well. She was consistently very difficult to communicate with, sometimes taking a few months to get back to me about my case.
But the worst is that after paying her thousands of dollars over the years, she failed to reply to the court on a motion to dismiss my case. The Judge gave Lisa multiple chances to file a reply but she failed to do so. The Judge had no choice but to dismiss my case.
On top of that, Lisa has not even communicated the dismissal of my case to me. I had to write the Judge to find out the status of my case and its been two years.

Lisa Stauff took her time to answer my questions and recommend I hire a local attorney. Even though she couldn't handle my case directly due to being 500 miles away she spent a considerable amount of time answering my questions.She was professional, knowledgeable and seemed to really care about my situation.

I have to admit, after nearly 5 years of working with them and still not having my debt paid off, it feels like this process wasn't worth it. I have one remaining debt of $12K, and nearly $9K in my account that needs to be paid off. Yet, every month, it feels like the balance never gets closer to being resolved. At this point, I don’t understand why they can't call the creditor and negotiate directly. It finally dawned on me that the reason might be the high fees they charge.
Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend them again, and I am determined to stay out of debt just to avoid working with them in the future. On top of that, my account password never works, and I never receive the reset email. For a company taking in so much money, having a properly functioning website should be a basic expectation—it's almost laughable.

Sheribel is a very nice person, and a pleasure to speak with about issues pertaining to the law. However, I have to say that managing expectations is not one of her strong suits. I definitely would not use her again. It didn't go as expected--cost more in time and effort than worth it.

After over 13 years of employment with a publicly traded global human resources (HR) outsourcing and consulting firm in Lincolnshire, IL, I began experiencing discrimination and harassment at the hands of my manager and her "inner circle" (with the support of Executive Leadership and HR). A friend referred Ms. Rothenberg in October '07, but I wasn't able to meet for an initial consultation until Jan' 08. During this time, Ms. Rothenberg and I corresponded via email. Once I met with her and gave details pertaining to my case, she moved quickly. Before my manager was able to terminate my employement "legally", Ms Rothenberg intervened and the termination was stayed. In April '08, Ms. Rothenberg called me and said you don't have to go to work today. I will be faxing you paperwork shortly :) FAST is an understatement!!! The "settlement" allowed me to leave the company with unemployment and COBRA benefits in tack... along with some pocket change! I didn't have to go back to work for 9 months!!! Ms. Rothenberg is the quintessential professional! As she came to me... I would (and have) HIGHLY recommend her to anyone seeking justice in coporate America.

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.
