I hired David for an employment discrimination case and was fully satisfied with his support throughout the process, and the results. David listened and consulted with me at every step. He explained the options and the advantages and disadvantages, and supported me in whatever decisions I made. David is empathetic and kind, but also pragmatic and super knowledgeable on the law. He is extremely responsive and took the time to explain the legal aspects of my case. I felt he advocated for my best interests, and the best interests of my family and I was pleased with the settlement results.

Powerhouse is a word that comes to mind when thinking of David Schlesinger and his team representing me. His reputation is respected and that is important when choosing a lawyer to represent you. He was extremely knowledgeable, organized and ready to take my case as far as he needed to in order to ensure I received justice for what I experienced. He worked hard to make sure I was satisfied with the outcome and details of the resolution. I would highly recommend David Schlesinger as your lawyer without reservation.

I am eternally grateful for meeting David and his representation. After a life of continuos abuse, David was the first person to defend me, successfully and made me feel safe throughout the entire process. As an immigrant I am so thankful for him and his work and I sincerely recommend him: he advocated for me, took care of my best interests and treated me with respect something that as a trauma survivor is of utmost importance. After working with him I feel that he finally prepares the ground for my healing and peace.

I was terminated from a large fortune 100 financial services company at age 59. I was in sales and had been employed by this company and predecessors for 26 years. I had built a large and profitable book of business over my tenure however my termination was due to my inability to meet new business sales goals which had been dramatically increased shortly before the termination. Despite fierce opposition from their deep legal department, we were able to negotiate a very favorable settlement for my case. I felt very comfortable and confident in Larry Schaefer"s knowledge, interest and hard work on my behalf. I gave him a large amount of information and Larry studied it all and completely understood all the facts surrounding my case. Larry has had much experience representing age discrimination clients against other fortune 500 companies and this background made me very comfortable in accepting Larry"s guidance and strategy. I would highly recommend Larry for to anyone in a similar situation that I was in.

I'm thankful I met Larry when I found myself in a difficult employment situation. During my engagement with Larry, he demonstrated a deep understanding of employment law, he helped me think through my options and ultimately acted as my advocate as he negotiated a successful outcome. Larry is the consummate professional with the right balance of humanity and strategic-thinking that sets him apart from other lawyers. He is definitely someone you want on your side of the table if you find yourself needing an experienced employment lawyer!

Michelle Kornblit comes with a powerful presentation and poignant arguments. She organized the details of my case leaving little room for argument from the other side. After going through a very difficult experience, knowing I had Michelle on my team was a great relief and made me feel empowered. She is caring, sensitive and frequently checked in to make sure my needs were being met. She put in a lot of work negotiating factors that were important to me up until the final moment of resolution. I highly recommend Michelle Kornblit without reservation.

Ms. Kornblit was a wonderful and caring attorney who provided an exceptional level of care, patience and expertise in the matter that I dealt with. I would absolutely recommend her along with the firm she represents to anyone seeking this expertise. She was very kind, always available via emails or the phone and considered many varying suggestions and topics that I was completely unaware of. Ms. Kornblit was always attentive to our needs as a family and extremely approachable in a challenging set of circumstances.

Michelle did outstanding work on my case. The end result was what I wanted and what was best for me but most importantly she treated me with such respect, involving me im decision making process and encouraging me throughout the process when I was feeling defeated and discriminated. Thanks to Michelle I am finally able to move on with my life believing that justice can be made and that there are capable professionals who care, are trustworthy and can make a difference. If you are a survivor of trauma/abuse/harassment ( even if you are an immigrant like I am) Michelle is the lawyer to contact .

My case was a wrongful termination. I had a medical condition which required surgery. Two weeks after surgery my employer terminated me, even though the previous month my annual review was all positive and indicated everything was fine. To add additional injury I was over 60 years old yet not old enough to retire.
Like most everyone in the year long process for justice, I was under enormous emotional stress. Kaarin did not get wraped up in my emotions but stayed focused on the case.
It was clear Kaarin and Halunen knew the aplicable laws, it was assuring to watch Kaarin in depositions asking the right questions to get to the underlying issues in order to prove my case.
Kaarin showed her expreience and skills in the mediation process with the defendant and mediator.
The case has come to a favrable end for me and much of the stress I've had has been relieved by obtaining justice.
I appreciate Kaarin's skills and expreience and her unrelenting pursuit of of justice.

Kaarin's name came to me on accident while I was desperately searching for someone to help me with an employment issue - and it made all the difference. From our first conversation she listened, asked great questions, and then listened more. She appreciated my view and always took the time to give me hope to hang on until the end. She was patient, efficient and personable. I recommend her for any employment issue that you have and encourage you to remain vigilant in what you believe but hire Kaarin to protect you and keep you on track. I will forever respect and promote her services and the firm, Halunen Law.

I was dealing with a difficult and awkward legal issue regarding a former employer. Steve and his team were incredibly helpful, guiding me through the process with expertise and patience. My initial conversation with Steve cemented the fact that he and Nichols Kaster were the best solution, and he did not disappoint. I highly recommend Steve and the Nichols Kaster team for anyone that needs this type of legal assistance.

Steve is that kind of (really good) lawyer you see on television. He's witty, sharp as an X-Acto knife, charismatic, tenacious, and driven to ensure justice and support his clients. He's truly the kind of lawyer anyone would wish to have. He consistently blew me away with how quickly he'd transition from being consoling and explanatory with me to ferociously advocating for me at the drop of a dime. He was pragmatic, honest, genuine, assertive, and considerate--he always made sure to prioritize my own well-being and happiness within the process and it showed through from start to finish. If I ever find myself in need of legal guidance again, he and his team will undoubtedly be my first call.

I first hired Fred Neff on a legal matter involving a major multinational company and received an excellent outcome. Since then I have used Fred's services for every legal matter, and have frequently referred him to others who likewise have gotten outstanding results. Earlier this year I once again had need of Fred's services and as always was extremely pleased with the outcome. I do not hesitate to refer Fred Neff to people who are looking for an outstanding lawyer.

Fred Neff was a beacon of hope to me at a time when I felt my options appeared limited and grim and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed impossible. Not only was he able to defend me from an unjust accusations, his calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself. My case was complicated and took many twists and turns. I am eternally grateful to Fred Neff for a positive outcome and win! but most importantly for his unwavering service and hereby recommend without any reservation Mr. Fred Neff.

If you want a bulldog in your corner, ensuring your case is heard, understood, investigated, to the fullest extent possible, this is your lawyer.
Lori represented me in a sexual harassment and retaliation case; I always felt she knew my situation, case, details, and how to apply the law to getting me the best advantage.
She is straight forward. No b.s. No maybe-kind-sort-of-hope-to. Yes or no. And then tells you what she needs from you in order to take your case to and through trial if necessary.
Her sanction. In questioning this ask yourself:
Would you want an attorney who is going to lay it all on the line for YOU? or someone that is going to blend into the bland wallpaper and wilt when the pressure gets too much.

His recommendations on my case are usefull and hope to achieve success.
He is not one of the lawyers you usually come accross who only are focussed on making money but on serving and fulfilling the clients objectives.
He also has offered his continious support in my matter even if I did not have a positive outcome, ensuring that I succeeded.

Lawyers do many things, different kinds of law and expertise, different types of specialties even within those different arenas. Prosecution to defense I think many imagine themselves to be "champions of the people". Then there are those like Emma Denny and her team of lawyers and paralegals that truly embody the people's champion ethos.
Employment lawyers do not get paid unless the case is settled outside of court or won at trial. Thus, when an employment lawyer signs onto your case they have just as much skin in the game as us. More even. All the upfront costs of time spent writing and filing briefs with the court, any experts needed to provide expert opinions or arbitration for settlements and every hour of their time, all on their dime. Meaning when an employment attorney takes your case, they not only have to have confidence in their ability to win or settle it they also are putting their confidence, belief and faith in YOU. It's a team.
After I was wrongfully terminated, I called nearly 15 employment attorneys. I was contacted by 8 paralegals for an interview about the circumstances of my case. I was then contacted by only 3 attorneys interested in my case. My case had a wild card element to it in that it had to do with new substance legalization laws interacting with employment law that did not have a lot of precedent. Considering how many I contacted and how many showed interest this told me my case was not a slam dunk and thus was seen as a risk for many of the attorneys I contacted. 2 of them told me I should contact the state, or another lawyer with different skills and that the grey associated with the new laws was a dealbreaker for them.
Then Emma Denny called. The biggest difference in the first 10 mins of speaking with her was her preparedness and absolute confidence. She had the legal stances, strategies and statutes already laid out without ever talking to me. Despite differing social opinions on newly legalized substances judgment never came into our conversation or into her demeanor and treatment of me and my case. She was fiercely professional, her legal writing was incredible, her research and her paralegal were peerless and her lawyer associates beyond reproach.
I was never in the dark about the process. Never once. One of the first documents I received from Emma was an outline of expectations including the potential timeline, the steps that ultimately lead to a settlement or a trial and a pledge to each other that within a day of contacting each other for any reason we would return that communication within 48hrs. Lastly, what could have taken a year or two was wrapped up nicely in 7 months!
I could go on, but I'll sum it up like this. In all my life no one has advocated for me so thoroughly and with so much professionalism and tenacity. As I stated there is no guarantee of compensation or reward, but I NEVER felt like that was a factor. She won for me and without her truly knowing she saved me from a setback that could have negatively impacted my life for years to come. She took a risk on me and was confident in her ability and mine that we could win and in a way that lawyers do she cared for me. She'll never know how much that confidence in me was part of what helped me get through that time in my life. That IS what makes Emma Denny and her team true and genuine Champions of the People. I hope you will find the same. Good luck!

We had a great experience working with Satveer Chaudhary on my spouse's visa change of status process from J2 to F1. He was incredibly patient, taking the time to answer all our questions thoroughly and helping us fill out the forms in the best way possible. We could always contact him directly and receive almost immediate responses from him (not an assistant), even after hours and on some weekends! I’m not sure if other lawyers would provide that level of service, especially with no extra charges. We also appreciated how thorough he was, staying in touch not only when the approval letter arrived but also during our trip to India for stamping. We truly appreciate his time and support throughout the process and highly recommend his services.

Five stars doesn’t feel like enough to give this team, so I encourage you to read this entire review as what happened to my family was life-changing. Three years ago, my husband had a routine surgery and developed severe complications just hours following. The lack of care received following his surgery ultimately impacted our entire future. My husband is permanently disfigured and his relationship with myself and our children was deeply fractured. I received Mr. Dworak’s name from a colleague and decided to explore whether we had a case or if he would even entertain it. I’ve learned medical malpractice cases are difficult to prove and rarely return a verdict in favor of plaintiffs. Mr. Dworak took time to review our notes, medical records, and believed in our story so much he agreed to fight for us—despite all odds stacked against us. My husband and I were going up against one of the largest medical corporations in the Midwest. Paul Dworak and Jeff Storms gave us a voice and a platform to share our story…and to prove in a court of law what happened to us should never have happened. In front of six jurors our story was shared… argued… and BELIEVED. Paul and Jeff’s tenacity… their ability to uncover truths… and their desire to fight for people who wouldn’t stand a chance against a powerhouse is what makes this team life changing for so many people. My family included. I will never be able to thank Paul and Jeff enough for believing in us, for fighting for us, and for dedicating their careers to doing this same thing for others. Thank you Paul and Jeff for showing the world the people with all the power don’t always win. If you’re reading this and need help like we did, this is your team. They’ll never stop fighting for you.

The most successful, authentic, and genuine firms and entities are the ones with almost all 5-Star reviews and a few 1 Star reviews.... There has never been more incentive than to discredit good attorneys seeking to defend the people in a city stacked with Fortune 500 companies, lawyers, and interests.
The people at this firm are brilliant individuals that could easily be working in DC if they wanted to, but choose to support the community they operate in.....these painfully fake reviews just show how out of touch these hedge fund players and their lackeys are with reality.

Being is a situation of being wrongfully terminated out of the blue by DHS was devastating and there was a number of us all in the same situation together. We talked with several lawyers and none of them were willing to step up and take the case for us until we met with Media Law. Ashwin got his team started right away and was ready to take on the state. Now lets talk about Tara Jensen. The amount of time and effort this amazing woman put into our case was astronomical! She had 10's of thousands pages of documents thrown at her and painstakingly went through each document to find every line to help our case. She was direct and to the point during depositions and never wavered when opposing council was taking bulling to the next level, yet remaining kind, personable and reassuring to me the entire time. This was a 5 year process and we could not have asked for a better team of people to get us through it and did not even imagine a more favorable outcome against a powerful employer. If you ever find yourself in a situation like this please stop your search for an attorney here and call Media Law immediately. You will never find a better team of lawyers to fight for you and always make you feel like you and your case matter.

I am thankful to have been represented by Madia Law throughout a long battle against a large, powerful public entity. Myself and 3 co-plaintiffs had a complex employment case with multiple claims including wrongful termination, sexual harassment, and a whistleblower claim. My interactions with all Madia Law team members were phenomenal. Tara worked tirelessly through thousands of pieces of evidence to help build a strong case. Tara and Ashwin were always available to answer questions, provide reassurance and give honest, realistic advice - always with the best interests of myself and fellow co-plaintiffs in mind. Tara & Ashwin were personable, yet fierce fighters, advocates and negotiators. In the end, we were able to gain a large settlement without needing a jury trial, but the team was well prepared to dominate in court if needed. I highly recommend the Madia Law team. Thank you Tara, Ashwin, and team! You are stand-up people & should be proud of your efforts to fight for what is right.

During that same period of time, I saw 7 different score managers come and go with only one if them having effective management skills because he had 21 years experience with the company and was a very effective manager. The large corporation I was a part of had been experiencing tgevresult if the high management turnover and had recently let 400 people go on division and corporate positions.

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.
