I hired David Kotwicki to advise me on a severance package which had been presented to me by a large corporation and based on my experience in working with Dave, I would highly recommend him for this field of work. In addition to his strong subject knowledge, I also found Dave to be compassionate and understanding in reviewing the topic with me. He was quick to respond and explained the legal terms such that I fully understood the options and decisions that I needed to make.

11 Dec, 2023 by Mark

I recently retained David for a complex labor employment issue involving wrongful termination, harassment, bullying and age discrimination. David proved to be extremely knowledgeable and helped me navigate the process of negotiating with a corporation and their team of attorneys. David was responsive, provided great guidance, communicated professionally with opposing attorneys, and helped me to a successful resolution. I would recommend David for labor employment issues.

I was referred to Mr. Kotwicki by another attorney. I recently was presented a severance package at a union job. He was quick at reviewing my paperwork and his fee was very reasonable.

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.

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.

We found Anders when searching online for top business attorneys in Michigan. From the very beginning, Anders was attentive, responsive, and empathetic to the sensitive nature of our case and situation. We felt that Anders went above and beyond. It was very clear that Anders has a lot of experience with similar cases and he was able to guide us along the way. Through one of the most stressful situations we have ever faced, Anders professionalism and confidence kept us calm and collected. We were very pleased with the outcome of the case! I would HIGHLY recommend Anders to anybody looking for the best. His professionalism, attentiveness, confidence and experience puts him at the top.

Anders was exceptional. What started as a standard eviction then morphed into an attempt to reopen probate; Anders handled everything with just the proper amount of assertiveness and professionalism to get to the bottom of things and get our case resolved in our favor. He was courteous, professional and prompt. I would recommend Anders and the firm he works for to anyone.

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 a case with my employer and when i reached Eric for help , he was very patient to hear and also given a free consultation in first place and advised how it should be proceed, Eric is a non commercial lawyer , he treats his clients as humans not as money machines , I am very thankful for this support to resolve my case with my employer , I would recommend to blindly trust Eric and you wont regret your decision.

21 Jun, 2017 by Yungyun

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.

As a business owner, I can say without hesitation that Delores Mayer is absolutely the very best attorney you could hope to have. Over the past 12 years, she has represented me in a variety of employment and other business matters with focus and determination, and has gotten outstanding results. In short, my experience with Delores has been exceptional. Her integrity is absolute, her honesty is without question. Thank you for everything, Delores.

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.

Brian is everything one would ever hope for in an attorney. He is highly competent, sensitive to clients, easy to talk to, approachable, and yet tenacious on the behalf of his clients. I was involved in a very complex matter, and Brian managed to navigate both me and my other associate through a very difficult time. We were both very pleased with the outcome. Best of all, Brian still found a way to leave both of us with a smile on our faces when the entire matter was settled. That is no small accomplishment in our time. I would recommend him without any reservations.

I was fully expecting a receptionist or a voicemail, certainly not the attorney himself. I asked him if I could set up a consolation, and he responded with you're having it. Awesome! I asked my questions, he listened, and he gave direct and knowledgeable answers. His experience was very obvious. I was thoroughly impressed with the entire phone call! I highly recommend Mark Wilkinson!

I am not sure where I would be today without Jennifer Salvatore AND her team of professionals. Instead, I have been more than blessed to be supported by such a professional, BRILLIANT and compassionate team and Jennifer has met every challenge head on with a fierce demand for an outcome that only supports justice, fairness, and becomes the voice and advocate everyone deserves. We are never promised an easy life, surprises pop up that are unfair. Jennifer takes you by the hand and faces it head on to face the giants you dare not face alone. She is not only brilliant, she is compassionate, prompt and patient. She empathizes that her clients need her for a reason and she will always be there for you. THANK YOU JEN!!

26 Mar, 2024 by Bert pescara

I was referred to this law firm by an out of state attorney. I never expected the level of service and care that Jennifer Salvatore has shown. She has been a light in a dark tunnel for me. Her professionalism has been outstanding. More than that, she has been courteous, friendly and empathetic. Unlike other attorneys that I have previously dealt with, from different firms, she doesn't have some superiority complex. I would recommend this firm to others without any concerns.

There are not too many people who want to be in a position where they need to engage an attorney but let me tell you...if you find yourself in that position, you will not find a better legal advocate than Salvatore Prescott Porter & Porter (SPPP). From my first call, I was welcomed with warmth and respect. In addition to the incredible legal expertise, you will find a passion for advocacy in each person you encounter. It is clear that they feel as strongly as you do about your situation, and you will find you have engaged a true ally that will work side by side with you for justice. I cannot say enough good things about my lead attorney, Jennifer Salvatore. She is a clear communicator, incredibly responsive, and committed to your success. She is intelligent, diligent, and genuinely cares (and shows that care in every step of the process.) I knew almost immediately that I had found the perfect attorney in Jennifer. I quickly learned, though, that at SPPP, in addition to your own lead attorney, there is an entire team of people who are equally enthusiastic about advocating for your cause and supporting you through the process. In addition to the other attorneys who helped with my case (David Fegley, Sarah Prescott, and Jessica Lieberman), the supporting team of Kelly Murawski (Paralegal) and Crystal Harrison (Office Manager/Legal Assistant) really personalized the process and kept me informed every step of the way. My case was resolved to my complete satisfaction in a very reasonable amount of time. In reflection, I guess it really says something about the SPPP team when you realize that upon resolution of your case, you are just going to really miss interacting with the wonderful people. Yes, the experience is THAT good. So, if you find yourself in need of a compassionate attorney who will advocate for you like no other, give SPPP a call. I promise you will not be sorry! And when you connect with them, tell them Pam (who is eternally grateful for her wonderful experience) says hello!

I was really feeling bad about having to file Bankruptcy at this point in my life. I worked with Mr. Metzen in the past. He reassured me that everything would be ok. He got to work immediately on my case. The process went smooth with him.

26 Sep, 2024 by Brent keast

I was embarrassed to think about having to file for bankruptcy let alone not knowing how to do it the correct way by myself. After some research I knew bankruptcy was not something I could do by myself. Walter Metzen & Associates had the reviews I liked and after speaking with Walter I felt comfortable going forward with applying for chapter 13 with them. Walter made me aware of all the upside and downside of filling, what is required to file all the documents I would need to supply etc. Throughout the entire process if I had a question I would call and he answered or if I left a message it was returned when it was possible for Walter to call back, it was never the next day but within minutes or maybe hours. My case was granted and with the classes provided for money management through the courses I took I feel great. Thank you Walter.

3 years ago today, a stranger made a bad decision and caused a ton of grief and loss in my life....after a couple years and some reflection, I turned to Matt at Conybeare to try to get back a little of what I lost..at least the dollars, for no amount of money can really make up for all the pain I had and time that I lost in the grand scheme of things. From my first interaction to the last, I was treated with nothing but respect, compassion and kindness. Thankfully I was able to recover most of my financial losses and feel that I got a fair settlement and can move on with my life. If I ever need legal help again..(please no!), I would not hesitate to reach out to Matt, Julie, Maddie and Stephanie...(sorry if I missed anyone). Call today!! You'll be glad you did!!!

I had an issue with my son’s school suspending him even though he was being bullied. I called Albeit Weiker and they placed me with a very wise and considerate attorney named Megan and a special education advocate named Danielle. Megan and Danielle provided me a wonderful service and were not money hungry like most attorney services, I was able to pay for my services because they were reasonable by the way, but it was the EXTRA things that were done like meeting with me and providing advice and not charging me extra fees. Speaking to me so that I could understand how to communicate for my son when I met with the school board. Megan also assessed the situation quickly and ultimately helped my son win his case and return to school without any barriers. I am so grateful for them and I pray for the entire companies Blessing for their kindness and generosity. Thankyou again

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.

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.

05 Sep, 2018 by Mika

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.

05 Sep, 2018 by Lee

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.

They declined to provide a consultation, a reason why they were declining to consult about my case, and they decline to provide a referal.

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.

David and Angela are two of the most respected employment law attorneys in the state. I have sent several friends to them for employment contract review and employment harassment issues.

Unhappy with this firm. The guy doing the intakes (I think his name was Rick) to give to the lawyer made me feel worse when I called than better. He kept interrupting me and made me feel like what I was saying was invalid and that I was crazy. Bad experience I do not recommended.

I have worked with Greg Jones on multiple occasions related to personal non-compete & non-solicitation contractual issues. Greg is thorough, responsive, and driven to achieve results that strike the right balance between legal and business priorities. I highly recommend Morgan & Jones for employment contract concerns.

Intake Specialist: Rick aka Richard is an idiot. Interrupted me, never let me finish explaining the situation then tells me as if he's a lawyer what I need to do first. Do not recommend these people if this is the quality of intake staff they employ. No thanks I'll find a real law firm

I have known Marla professionally and worked with her for going on three years. She is knowledgeable, straight forward, skilled and accessible. Marla helped us work through a difficult issue and achieved a great result. She listened, discussed our options and came up with a winning strategy that worked. I highly recommend her.

Marla is an outstanding attorney! She is not only knowledgeable and experienced, but has stellar ethics and is a calm and steady guide during legal proceedings that can be otherwise stressful and overwhelming. I highly recommend Marla Linderman!

Not only did she practically interrogate me about my claim, but when she did final offer to help, she proceeded to charge me again for yet another consultation, then ignore all my calls, messages, and emails. To bad the secretary, who kept saying how great she was, is not the actual attorney.

I recently had the privilege of consulting with Manda regarding a pressing issue, and I must say, her expertise and genuine care left a profound impact on me. From the moment we began our conversation. Manda took the time to listen attentively, ensuring that she fully understood my concerns before offering her invaluable insights. Her dedication to providing comprehensive assistance was evident as she patiently explained the relevant laws, outlined various options, and discussed potential outcomes in detail. Manda's remarkable professionalism was matched by her warmth and empathy. She approached our consultation with genuine care and compassion, making me feel supported and understood every step of the way. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Manda to anyone in need.

30 Jan, 2023 by Mike

The State of Michigan Unemployment agency wanted me to pay back the unemployment funds I received during the pandemic. Within 2 hours of making an appointment through the office, Manda was already on the case, texting questions to me and asking for paperwork. Manda was thorough, confident and well prepared but also prepared me well for the hearing. Not only did I win the case but I received over $4,600 in back funds the State owed me. I would recommend her services to anyone!

06 Jul, 2021 by Nichelle

Manda was recommended to me in regards to taking wrongful termination cases. Our first phone call was her gathering information about my case, the second phone call mirrored the same because she forgot. I paid her basically to get my files from my employer. She did not schedule an appointment or try to hear me out professionally. I'm am utterly disappointed with her services. She did not even try to work with me and I was very patient and respectful.

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.

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.
