I can't thank Josh and his team enough for help finding a resolution. The MCAD took 4 years before mediation was offered. For the 4 years, Josh followed up to let me know the status of my wrongful termination. Very nice firm and I recommend speaking with them if you have an employment issue.

I recently received a subpoena involving a request for extensive records. Attorney Neil Burns and their team provided invaluable assistance. They drafted a detailed and persuasive response that effectively addressed the opposing counsel's demands. As a result, the opposing counsel dropped their request, saving me significant time, stress, and potential legal fees. I am incredibly grateful for their expertise and professionalism.

We moved to Boston from Germany and the first month we heard Rachel's name and her office at CIC. Whomever we were asking a good lawyer, we were hearing same name, Rachel!. During the time, we understood that she is very much on hands person and stunning lawyer. Her expertise level, skills sets, putting together every details on time, made us felt we are in good hands. She quickly understands the needs of the clients and always going beyond clients' expectations. Briefly she is an amazing, exceptional lawyer and person. She explains step by step what and why she does. She is very proactive, kind, responsive person. That's why I guess her clients are growing like a 'snowball'. Thank you Rachel....

#EB-1A Approved in 12 days only# At Casseus Law, Rachel told me my case would be approved easily, even without extra requests for evidence. Even though I wasn't sure, she seemed very sure. Rachel and her team were really good at handling my immigration case. Rachel is a great lawyer who is passionate, aggressive, and respectful. She never backs down from tough challenges. Other lawyers said I couldn't qualify for EB-1A, but Rachel looked at my case and said I would get approved. She helped me every step of the way. I highly recommend Casseus Law and Rachel to anyone applying for a green card through EB-1A or NIW. Thank you so much, Rachel!

I highly recommend the Eskow Law Group for anyone about to involve themselves in a dental practice transition. Working with them was an excellent experience from start to finish. I have an attorney in my family, but decided to go with a dental-specific attorney for purchasing a dental practice. Now after going through the process, I am very glad I did. From the LOI to the APA and P&S all the way through the closing day, the Eskow Group went above and beyond to keep us safe from the many pitfalls in a convoluted transaction like ours. I met Jon at the Yankee Dental Conference and shortly after found a practice to purchase. I reached out to him and he gave me some great advice to start with, even before signing our engagement letter. Once we started the process of purchasing the practice, we worked closely with Samara Bell, who is an attorney you definitely want on your side. She is sharp, critical, and friendly and will look out for you at every turn. I was especially impressed with their ability to keep everything organized. Our transaction was fairly complex - it involved buying the practice and the real estate under different entities, simultaneously. The seller's legal team was very difficult to work with, but Samara and Jon handled all of these issues with poise. In terms of pricing, their rates are very reasonable and in my opinion, worth every penny. I recommend them to every one of my dental colleagues.

The team at Zalkind Duncan & Berstein, in particular, the attorney on my case, Ana Munoz, are phenomenal. Ana expertly navigated a challenging situation with grace, tireless professionalism and compassion. She helped me get my dignity back and for that I can never thank her enough. From the first phone call all the way to completion of the project, I knew Ana had my back and she worked diligently to help fight for me and my rights. If you're in the unfortunate position of needing of an attorney that specializes in employment law do not hesitate to reach out to them.

When I needed an attorney to handle a contentious employment matter, Mark came highly recommended (“Reach out to Mark. No question. He’s the best”). After working with Mark and his colleague, Maureen, on a complex matter related to a former employer’s NDA, I wholeheartedly agree. Mark is incredibly knowledgeable, strategic, and extremely thorough in every regard. His style is direct yet empathetic, which was displayed when he helped guide me through what was a very trying situation. His colleague Maureen is also great. She was accessible when needed, is super sharp, and thoughtful within every interaction. What was also refreshing to experience, was how both Mark and Maureen always kept things on track, which was appreciated as legal matters can get costly. In the end, the outcome was an extremely positive one and I will forever be thankful to Mark and Maureen for their help and their professionalism. If you ever are in need of a legal team to handle an employment matter, you need to work with Mark and Maureen. No question, they are the best.

After understanding my situation, Mark got into several negotiations with my former employer. He's very conscientious and cares about my benefits. It was a difficult negotiation process because my former employer was not cooperative. Mark gave the other side's lawyer our best reasoning and what normal companies would do for my situation, but my former employer let their ego get in the way, instead of doing the right thing to investigate, they terminate the good person and wanted to pay a small fee to let me go away quietly. Knowing it has been a retaliation I consulted 4 attorneys in New Hampshire, including some well known ones. They were all unwilling to represent me, but Mark stood up after hearing my story and knew I could get better than what was offered. Through his work in the end I gained a substantial amount extra pay.

I can’t imagine having gone through my experience with a different lawyer. He’ll listen and do everything he can for you. I’d use his services again in a heartbeat, and I’m incredibly grateful to have found him.

I filed for an appeal and I was able to get back my unemployment benefits one day after the hearing was over. I fully with all my heart recommend anyone this lawyer he will keep it 100% honest and will help you incredibly with your case matter. There’s nothing else to say about Louis other than he’s an amazing Lawyer !

I met Bruce the day I got fired from my position as clinician at a drug treatment center. I was in the process of going on FMLA from my job due to the loss of my son. At that time myself and my coworker who had the same duties were out on performance plans. Due to our high caseload fulfilling the plan was impossible, so I decided I needed to take a step back and go out for a while. I told my supervisor at supervision that I was going out on a Wednesday and on that following Friday I was fired and she used the plan as an excuse. I met Bruce at an event that Friday night and told him what transpired. He contacted me on Monday and took my case. I was fired in May and received compensation by August. Bruce was very available for any questions or concerns about the process. I have recommended him to other friends that are dealing with some of the same issues and have had nothing, but positive feedback from them. I highly recommend his service to anyone dealing with an employment issue. Thank you.

Kyle does a fantastic job of translating complex "legalese" into information that's easily understood by non-lawyers and was always available to respons to even the most basic questions.

We got sued for adverse possession and easement rights on or lake property. Adam took the case 4 years ago. Just before the pretrial he bailed out. We now have to find a replacement in a very short time and for an extremely high cost. He left us in a very bad situation. I don't believe he felt comfortable about litigation. His specialty seems to be land lord/ tenant issues. I believe he was out of his league taking our case.

Navigating our high-conflict custody case was one of the most challenging experiences, but having Adam Sloane by our side for two years made all the difference. From the very beginning, he demonstrated a level of vigilance and dedication that gave us confidence throughout this difficult journey. What truly sets Adam apart is his ability to balance professionalism with genuine care. He took the time to understand every detail of our case, ensuring we were fully informed of all our options. His legal expertise was evident in every motion, court appearance, and strategic decision, but it was his empathy and unwavering support that helped us stay grounded. Adam was not only a fierce advocate for our rights but also focused on what was in the best interest of our child. He treated the case with the sensitivity and urgency it deserved, ensuring no detail was overlooked while keeping the well-being of our family at the forefront. Thanks to Adam, we achieved a resolution that protected our child’s future. I will always be grateful for his compassion, determination, and expertise.

After talking with Tim , I subsequently switched to Tim’s law group. Tim had to take on a WELL established Massachusetts law firm which could be intimidating; he was definitely up for this tough challenge. Other lawyers would not take this case after my previous lawyer’s handling and were afraid of losing this case. Tim was different, he wanted to help right a wrong as best as he could knowing what was being handed to him. It was quickly apparent that Tim took his job to heart unlike my previous lawyer. Tim put the opposition law firm on notice that he was about the business of winning my case and not losing. Tim had a tough challenge because he had to rectify the mess made by previous lawyer who had my case on track to be a loss. The best way to summarize how Tim handled my case could be explained by using terminology from the 1960s Batman TV series. In response to Tim’s introduction and demand letter to the opposition, Tim was hit with a response that was a BOOM. Tim responded and hit back with a KA-BOOM. Next time they hit Tim with a POW and Tim responded with a POW-POW; Tim did NOT back down. Tim worked hard and fought hard for my case. He kept me informed with every step of my case unlike my previous lawyer. He was honest with and didn’t sugarcoat what I needed to hear about my case. He did a hell of a good job with my case considering the mess he had to work with. I would absolutely recommend the Upper Charles Law Group as my experience was absolutely pleasurable with this law group. You will get a team of qualified lawyers who will fight for you and be honest with you, don’t hesitate to hire this law firm.

I mearly called for a consultation, I don't know whether this attorney was having a bad day or something else is going on or perhaps he was preoccupied, but the level of attention to detail on a potential case Even if he was listening at all, yes I understand you couldn't even take the case yet you have a tactfully poor representation of your law firm. Once again so we can be clear Yes I understand yes !!!!! I understand your not going to be able to take the case nor do you have to provide reason but asking a general question of what my options are , should have been handled more appropriately . you offer free consultation. I respect the type of attorney that you can hear in their voice no matter what the answer is They were delighted to handle your situation as best as they possibly could have. I call it having a good bedside manner. Yet I was brutally disconnected cut off and left hanging and I guess that's how you tell the difference between a solid lawyer that gives a crap about his clients potential clients and ones that are just ambulance chasers wanting to make a quick buck. There are millions of lawyers on this site And you should be truly grateful that people decided to hire you to take on their cases . Because if it wasn't for them you wouldn't even have a practice . I'm not angry. I've served my country for 8 years in the United States Navy and the college graduate with the background and engineering . An I studied quite a bit of law I felt like it was being put down or something . Although I laugh it off because I have thick skin , give you no excuse to represent yourself in the form and fashion that you represented yourself to me . I'm just offering constructive criticism to you sir. With all due respect work on your bedside manner because it's pretty crappy .I rest my case with the situation.

The lawyers at this office actually care. They listened to me. I say "they" because I actually had a couple lawyers at the office working on my case, including attorney Sullivan himself. Their team approach is great, and I know they all listened to me because in court the litigation team mentioned every single thing I told them I was concerned about, and in a very precise and professional way. I was amazed by how well they were in front of the Judge. Needles to say, I won my case. Incredible! Great Law firm!

Matthew is a hardworking, diligent attorney who knows the law and has his clients best interest in mind. I hired a large reputable firm and Matthew was my 6th attorney during a 3 year litigation. There were many times I wanted to quit but his tenacity and commitment to my case kept me going. At the end of the day, we won and I got what I was owed. I can’t give him enough praise and if I ever need another attorney his will certainly be my “go to guy.”

Susan Sachs is not only a knowledgeable, versatile lawyer with years of experience, but she is a compassionate, empathetic person who is ruled by an innate sense of right and wrong. Susan was the first lawyer we saw when my daughter made it clear that she didn't want or need a lawyer. It was Susan's personalized care that soothed her emotions and let logic rule. She facilitated the legal steps my daughter needed to take and guided her in her endeavors to find a good divorce attorney. We are forever grateful for her extra-special caring mixed with legal expertise that enabled my daughter to face existing problems and prepare for the future.

Susan always returns my calls promptly and if she does not know an answer right then, she has found the answer and gotten back to me within a day. I have only positive things to say about Susan's skills as a lawyer.

He handle my case like a great attorney should and what you expect from a great attorney and even after my case is settled he still handles the little problems that will pop up from your insurance company not paying your medical bills that they should Pay One phone call from him and it’s taken care of and I would recommend Him hands-down 100% And I have recommend at least four people to him . Think of him as going into a hand to hand combat but he has a sledgehammer with him . That’s why when the insurance company sees his name next to your name On a leather head they know they’re in for a fight they won’t be able to get away with anything Or push you over

Atty Matt Karr is excellent. He spent the time to understand our need for a credit bypass trust. He explained the process in clear declarative English rather than legalese. I feel that his fee was very reasonable. He supported his documents with a video explaining everything so that I could replay it if I had questions. We spoke to other lawyers that charged more and some that charged less. It is very hard to compare prices like buying a car. I recommend that you meet with Matt before selecting an attorney. BTW trusts are his specialty not just another work product.

We worked with Matthew Karr for Estate Planning purposes, specifically to update our existing Trusts, Wills, Healthcare Proxies, and Powers of Attorney that were prepared years ago by another law firm. Matthew excelled in asking thoughtful questions about our goals, carefully listened to our responses, and offered practical solutions to achieve them. Most importantly, he explained his reasoning and options in a way that was clear and easy to understand. He provided a clear timeline for completion and quoted a flat fee that covered all the work. Both his turnaround time and fees were very reasonable. When it was time to sign the new documents, he patiently reviewed each one, addressed all of our questions, and ensured that we fully understood everything. His patience and thoroughness were greatly appreciated. Matthew and his staff were professional, knowledgeable, and welcoming throughout the process. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone in need of Estate Planning expertise.

I was referred to Jason through another attorney and let me tell you, I could not be more pleased. He did an amazing job helping me get guardianship for my 55yr old brother. I had been trying for a few yrs to get this task accomplished. Jason is very professional and compassionate, he truly understands how family's feel going through this rather tedious ordeal. Jason knows exactly what the courts need for all date sensitive documentation. He was always willing to help with calling the Dr. or going to pick up documents for me if need be. My brother and I are very pleased that its completed and safely filed away. I would highly recommend Jason to friends and family! Thank you again Jason!!

I don’t know what we would have done without Jason. My husband and I hired Jason to help us obtain guardianship for our disabled daughter who turned 18 years old this past December. From our initial meeting to help us understand what the guardianship process entailed, to our last meeting in court, Jason was an amazing resource and always so patient and understanding…no matter how many questions I had. My husband and I thought the final court appearance would be a simple formality, but unfortunately, we had a rather cold judge who made it a very unpleasant experience. Thanks to Jason’s calm, knowledgeable and professional demeanor with this judge, we were granted guardianship. We would highly recommend Jason as an attorney who is extremely smart, kind, and professional!

I am the representative payee for my adult disabled son. After five years of my son being disabled and collecting disability, his Doctor and I received a form to fill out for a medical review to see if he was "still disabled." I filled this out perfectly describing my son's day to day life and impairments. Although I am a medical professional, obviously I did not do this as well as I perceived as just before Christmas 2014, we received a notice stating my son was no longer disabled and his disability payments would stop in two months. Social Security was not at all helpful and gave me the run around re: the appeal process. Sometimes Social Security employees were not nice or helpful. I knew we needed help. I researched disability attorneys and found Jason. All I can say is "Thank God." He met with both of us and asked questions about my son's disability and symptoms. My son and I provided all the answers to the review to him however Jason worded it in the manner that SSDI requires, unlike what I had done in the previous summer. He was kind, patient, and understanding. There were a few times when my emotions got the better of me, "How can they do this to us?" These were the times when Jason stood behind us and helped us stand on our own two feet. He directed us in following the instructions on the appeal as they are not easy to understand, Jason understood exactly what they were and explained them in a manner that was both understandable and helpful, never degrading. On May 6th of this year, I received the notice from disability stating that after reviewing all the information, they found my son to continue to be disabled, therefore there was no need for a hearing. Of course I would prefer my son to not be disabled. However it is what it is and I do not even want to think of how awful this denial could have been without Jason. I wish I had known him and used him to initially get disability for my son back in 2009 as that process was not pleasant and took three denials/appeals. I definitely could not have done this without his help! My husband and I are now going to be using Jason for estate planning and our wills.

I like to joke with Shehzad that he is too honest to be a good lawyer. Shehzad is warm, friendly, honest, trustworthy, diligent, thoughtful, caring, and tireless. He took on my first case against a big employer, and he went toe to toe with the highest price Boston lawyers, and he won. He handled their posturing, their threats, their aggression with calm demeanor and the facts. Shehzad's fees were more than reasonable. His bills were always detailed, specific down to what he talked on the phone about, not just "phone call" items. He was amazing with his turn-around time, and often asked me question late into the night as he did his homework for the case. Shehzad's practice is a family practice, with his wife and mother-in-law. Each has their specialities, so if Shehzad is not the best choice for your case, one of the other family members may have the expertise required. The practice is small and away from Boston, so you don't get the suit-and-tie salesman treatment and then handed off to a paralegal or a junior lawyer, but just an honest, wholesome lawyer trying to advise and advocate your case with conviction and passion. I highly recommend Shehzad Rajwani, and I continue to entrust his advice on our business and other legal matters. I have had a half dozen lawyers over the last 15 years, but now that I have Shehzad, like a good auto mechanic, I won't let him go anytime soon.

Attorney Itzkowitz represented me in a federal suit I filed against some major American corporations after I was raped on the grounds of an American owned hotel in the Cayman Islands 20 years ago. The case was poised to be a truly landmark case on many levels. At the zenith hour to the trial, it was settled out of court for a sum that helped me regain my life and belief in justice. I was literally homeless and had become disabled by my physical and psychic injuries. Although receiving no interest from the American press (except for a superb article in Layers Weekly) the settlement Mark facilitated made some global headlines. An article even appeared in newspapers in Japan. Mark Itzkowitz is a "super-lawyer" of Super Lawyers. His insight and brilliance regarding the international laws which impacted my case was astounding. Mark has also helped me in smaller family type matters since then. I have 100% confidence in Mark Itzkowitz's integrity and ability. 5 stars is not high enough praise.

From the moment on I was treated with respect , always kept in the loop over what was going on and he always gave me his opinion of what to do and never judged or argued if I thought differently. I ask a lot more questions than the average person and he answered everyone and never got aggravated . He made the process very simple and as time efficient as possible .

I sought expert guidance for an employment law matter that was a complex and complicated case for many reasons. I spoke to several other attorneys regarding my situation and they all informed me that due to the complexity of my case it was going to be quite a challenge to take on. During my search I came across Attorney Benjamin Knox Steffans . After my first conversation with Ben I immediately felt so much weight lifted off my shoulders because he was going to handle this legal matter with me head on.He showed me in so many ways throughout how outstanding of attorney he truly is. He came up with strategies that were incredibly effective for the different situations that came up throughout these extremely difficult six months for me. He ALWAYS kept me up-to-date and stayed in contact frequently. There was never a time that I was not able to get in contact with him and his response time is incredible. His extreme knowledge for employment law discrimination and wrongful termination is incredibly articulate. He uses his strengths and knowledge from his past working on both sides of employer and employee law and that was a huge key to my success in the legal matter. I felt like Ben was always a couple steps ahead because he knew the employer side and what they might say and try to do. Ben closely guide me through the process, he believed in me and he gave me the motivation I needed while battling my own severe chronic illness to continue to follow through even when times got really difficult. Ben provided outstanding strategies and his grasp and knowledge of employment law and the intricacies of litigation put him far above the rest. His negotiation skills exceeded my expectations in every way his professionalism was outstanding. With that all being said the true victory was finding a lawyer that had such dedication to the case and his profession. If you are ever seeking or have any questions regarding any type of employee /employer relations law I would highly recommend Attorney Benjamin Knox Steffens.

Working with Joe Simons was the best decision I made for my Federal case in California. A process that took over 3 years from start to finish Joe walked me through each process. Constantly working with the prosecutor to get me a better deal all the way down to Probation. Joe is up front and honest with you from the beginning on what to expect and that made each moment easier to handle. Even flying out to California multiple times I knew I was in good hands. Joe was always there to answer any questions and even after sentencing he is still helping with technical aspects of probation. I 100% recommend Joe Simons and his Law firm.

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?
    Ask about the types of compensation or corrective action you can pursue, such as back pay, emotional distress damages, job reinstatement, or policy changes.
  7. 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.
