From the very beginning Matthew Clark made me comfortable with the unfortunate situation I was in and I knew I was in good hands. I have never been through a legal situation before and didn't know what to expect but Matt explained everything to me every step of the way. He was so kind and honest and respectful during a difficult time. He put in a lot of work into my case and paid attention to every detail and often times he would email me back after hours or take phone calls late and that shows that he cared about my peace of mind. The whole team was professional and thorough as well. I would recommend this law firm to everyone because we would not have had the outcome we did if it weren't for them. If you want to be represented by someone that treats you as good as a family member would, then Matthew Clark is who you should hire.

I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Matthew Clark, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From our very first consultation, it was clear that he possessed an exceptional level of expertise and dedication to his clients.
Matthew’s professionalism and thorough understanding of the law were evident as he navigated my case with precision and care. He took the time to explain every step of the process, ensuring I felt informed and confident throughout. His ability to break down complex legal jargon into understandable terms was immensely helpful.
What truly sets Matt apart is his unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. He approached my case with a strategic mindset, demonstrating a keen eye for detail and a proactive approach. His responsiveness and availability were also commendable; I never felt like just another client but rather a priority.
In addition to his legal acumen, Matthew’s compassion and genuine concern for my well-being were palpable. He consistently provided not just legal support, but also reassurance and empathy during a stressful time.
Thanks to Matt, I felt supported and confident throughout the legal process, and I am extremely pleased with the outcome he achieved for me. If you are in need of a highly skilled, dedicated, and compassionate attorney, look no further than Matthew Clark. He is truly a standout professional in his field.

We've reached Eric to sort out the issues with our employer. He has helped us to close the case gracefully with discussing with the employer's attorney. He is so humble, honest and worked so hard on our case, making sure it's closed. Thank you so much for resolving our issue so deligently and love your transparent process, I've seen several attorneys who will lure money just for talking, but Eric gives less importance to money and more importance to people and work. Can't thank you enough Eric, I appreciate it.

I had the misfortune of needing an attorney with experience in employment and civil rights law. Through word of mouth and recommendations from several acquaintances, Shereef Akeel took on my case. He handled it with strong conviction and dedication that was refreshing. I could not be more pleased with his representation. Mr. Akeel was always reachable, even on weekend and even when he was abroad! He always got back to me promptly and attended to my concerns and my case with utmost professionalism and expertise. Even after the case was resolved, he remained prompt, easily reachable and attentive.
I recommend him without reservation!

I had hired another attroney to review some documents but I was not satisfied. I reached out to a friend who found Ray Sterling for me through an attorney website. From the beginning I was very satisfued with the experience. Ray's paralegal Dawn Estes was very professional and did a great job recording all of my information so that Ray was fully prepared for our discussion. He provided great insight into my situation and provided me with the pros/cons of our approach. In the end were were able to reach an agreement with the other party that was very satisfactory for me.
Ray was also very accessible to me given the deadline I was presented with. He responded quickly to all of my email messages and returned documents ahead of schedule. I am so glad thay I got a 2nd opinion and that I found Sterling Attorney's. I would highly recommend them.

Ray Sterling has been my legal counsel in an employment related matter for the past few months. "Brilliance", "Sophisticated aggression" and "Compassion" are the three words that come to my mind when I reflect on all our interactions and Ray truly is a personification of all these qualities. I will be honest - as someone who has never worked with a legal counsel all my life, I was quite apprehensive as to whether to even embark on this process. But Ray made me feel very comfortable right from our first meeting and his ability to quickly understand the nuances of my case and develop our strategy and approach plan and of course his negotiation skills ensured that we got a successful outcome. I have no hesitation in saying that I made the right choice in having Ray Sterling as my attorney - for it was him who ensured the successful outcome for which I am truly grateful.

I am a business man and have been fighting with my landlord for almost 8 years. Before I hired attorney Park, I had have six attorneys who speak English as their first language. When none of the English speaking attorneys could not resolve my case, Mr. Park, who speaks English as a second language, won my case at trial and resolved it to my satisfaction. Mr. Park has been working as my attorney for almost 3 years and I feel lucky to have him as my attorney.
He is a very sophisticated, smart, detail-orientated attorney. I highly recommend that you try him out as your attorney.

My Ex Did Not Get My Police Officer’s Pension Thanks to Delores Mayer
Delores did the near impossible: she kept my ex-wife’s hands off my police officer’s pension. When I tell other officers that Delores saved my pension in my divorce, they can’t believe it. You will need a specialist like Delores if you have a pension at stake. She also was able to get me full custody of my sons with my ex-wife paying child support to me. Delores was also very professional and took the time out of her busy schedule to talk to me about my case and listen to my concerns, even at night after I got off of my shift. I would recommend Delores to anyone with a family law issue. Thank you, Delores! I couldn’t have done it without you.

I was terminated from an employer for making a simple ADA request and Kelly McClintock along with her team helped me through the ordeal and were able to get the company to provide a severance package. On top of that, they went above and beyond when the employer disputed my unemployment benefits by saying I had quit. Their knowledge in employment law and unemployment benefits are second to none. Throughout the process I felt heard, understood and supported and could not have asked for better representation. You will not find better attorneys to represent you.

I am grateful to have discovered Attorney Julie Gafkay to represent my Civil Rights Case. I learned of Attorney Gafkay while researching other Black healthcare professionals who had experienced what I call, “patient initiated - employer sponsored race bias.” The most prominent case that Julie has represented to date is the Battle vs. Hurley case in which she represented Tonya Battle, a Black nurse whose employer honored a man's request that African-American nurses not be allowed to care for his newborn. The case gained national attention. I googled Attorney Gafkay’s name and read the reviews on her website and contacted her. Soon after I contacted her office I received a phone call from Julie and immediately, I knew she was on my team. Julie had successfully represented several cases that were specific to Black health care workers experiencing patient initiated workplace discrimination. Despite the fact that Julie was reperesenting me across the country I could always trust that Julie had done the work of researching every professional we would encounter in my community including the Judge, local counsel and the arbitrator. I was always informed and knew what to expect next in my proceedings. There was not a moment in which she represented my case that I did not feel prepared. I felt comfortable asking questions. Things all came together when Julie arrived for my mediation proceedings wearing a red jacket. She had put together an effective team which included local counsel to represent me. I knew they had my best interest at heart and they calmed my nerves. Julie was polished and knowledgeable and had researched cases similar to mine and their outcomes. She validated my experience. The end result of my experience is that I felt empowered and vindicated. I absolutely recommend Julie Gafkay to represent your case against patient initiated -employer sponsored race bias. Taking a stand against racism is not easy and when you do so make sure that you have an experienced, knowledgeable and passionate attorney to represent you.

Julie took my case because she felt it was the right thing to do to give me voice. She believed I was treated unjustly, and she is a lawyer who is in the field because she is passionate about justice. Other lawyers told me I didn't have a case, couldn't win, or flat out ignored me. Julie called me right back, met with me, and took my case. Once I had her to represent me, I never worried. I knew without a doubt that I was in compassionate and competent care. She always responded to me immediately, and contacted me if anything was needed of me. We worked together for a year -- and won.
I cannot recommend Julie enough. Having her represent me was one of the greatest honors of my life.

I contacted Julie regarding bonus and commissions, earned over a period of time, that was not being paid. Her knowledge and her ability, to explain the law and how it applied to my situation, was invaluable. She was able to help me determine a direction and collect what was owed to me. She and her practice were professional and involved every step of the way. At all times, throughout the process, I felt like everything was under control from the moment she took my case.

Lived in the apartments on the 2nd floor for 3 years. Affordable and cozy, even though the building is pretty dirty, especially the kitchen. The MSU Legal Clinic moved out of this building a little while ago. Some windows, and especially the back door have been broken by vandals, and the parking lot still needs a lot of work. However, these might just be the cheapest studio apartments in East Lansing

I feel compelled to author my review after reading several reviews from fake clients/imposters or deadbeat whiners (yes you are the ones who typically end up being the deadbeat parents).
I went through a lengthy custody battle in Livingston County Courts, from 2004 to 2007. I am a male so I was already behind the 8 ball as almost every court in Michigan always gives advantage to the female. (how is that inclusive or equal? write your congress person) So I had to bring in some serious law power to make a solid attempt to get the custody I deserved. My daughters mom lied about everything on her questionnaire and the court actually believed all of it, so it was an interesting and long up hill battle. After this long duration Julia was able to get the agreement we set out to accomplish. All along this journey Julia and her office staff were nothing less than exceptionally professional. Her rates are comparable to other attorneys and her billing is very detailed. There is nothing hidden about what occurs during this time, other than many people are NOT PAYING ATTENTION to understand what you will be paying for. To say the least, there were no hidden charges and I was always billed for the time spent in court or for talking with Julia (or an attorney). As with any Business, there are no freebies. I would recommend Julia to any of my family or friends as she and her staff are simply THE BEST!!

I had a very disappointing experience with J. Black & Associates, P.L.C., particularly with their communication and billing practices. After paying $250 for a one-hour consultation with Attorney Bechtel, I decided not to proceed with their services. However, I was surprised to receive an invoice for $431.25, despite never signing an agreement with them or authorizing any additional services.
I disputed the charges, and while the firm adjusted the bill to $360, I still found it concerning that I was charged for interactions that were not clearly communicated as billable. Julia contacted me after I had already decided not to use their services to discuss my case further. During that call, I agreed to change a court date but ultimately chose to keep the original date without representation due to the potential risks. There was never any mention that discussing these changes would result in extra charges.
What’s most frustrating is that I was referred to this firm by a previous client who had positive experiences, which makes this situation even more disappointing. I never visited their office or met them in person, yet it seems they charge for every word exchanged. It’s sad and unprofessional to see lawyers prioritizing profit over transparency and trust.
I’d advise anyone considering this firm to confirm all fees and potential charges upfront. Make sure you understand exactly what will be billed, because apparently, even speaking to a receptionist could end up costing you.

Mr. Muneeb took the time to help me understand the legal system, which I had no prior knowledge of, and guided me every step of the way. The results he delivered exceeded my expectations, and I am incredibly grateful for his hard work and dedication.

Hussain was absolutely amazing to work with. He guided us through every step of my husband’s immigration process. Our situation was a bit unique but he worked hard and fought for us. Everything in our contract was clear and fair, no hidden charges or fees. Response time was always extremely fast. He took out the time to meet/call whenever we asked, and answered all our questions with knowledge and transparency. Highly recommend!!

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.
