If you are looking for a Real Estate transaction lawyer, Milan is the best out there. His response time is amazing even during after hours and does amazing, efficient work. I had a tough unit to sell and I don't think I would have been able to without him. Stop looking. Milan is THE best.

We are from out of state and recently purchased a condo in Brooklyn. Since we had no experience with real estate in NY our broker suggested a couple of lawyers to choose from. Milan A. Reyngach, Esq. of Reyngach Law, firm impressed us the most, and I'm glad we chose him, he was very knowledgeable and efficient and extremely quick to always respond to our communication. The task of purchasing a property remotely from across the country poses many more issues than doing it local, but Milan was able to find a way and make it happen. We would recommend him to anyone needing real estate help in NY!

I had a lot of anxiety about going through a divorce, but Gordon Law, P.C helped me through it. They were very professional and gave me clear guidance on what to expect. They handled everything efficiently, and I’m happy with the results. The staff made me feel like they truly cared about my case.

Bryan did an outstanding job handling my uncontested divorce. His prices were fair, he was responsive and worked quickly. He made the process stress free. I highly recommend him.

I cannot recommend Gordon Law, P.C. - Brooklyn Family and Divorce Lawyer Law Firm enough. They helped me navigate one of the most difficult times in my life with compassion, professionalism, and expertise. The attorney team was incredibly knowledgeable and always available to answer my questions. They fought tirelessly to protect my best interests and those of my children. In the end, both of us were happy with the judgment and my ex-wife understanding helped us bring this custody case to a satisfactory manner. Thank you for your outstanding service.

highly recommended. I have been included in a number of class action lawsuits with Leeds. First thing- they have an lovely secretary who picks up the phone right away. In an age of tapping on numbers to get to different deptartments, this just makes life easier. I have been in touch with Dave Mayo a number of times who answered all my questions thoroughly as if he had all the time in the world. If you want boutique service, I highly recimmend Leeds!!!

Intimidating was the word that came to mind before conversing with Michael. Once I could discuss it with Michael, all of my fear disappeared. He is smart and explained to me most simply yet without being condescending. He went through each potential move and possible outcome depending on which activity I chose with his guidance. He broke down what my case could be worth through a process where he asked me some questions and then answered them on the spot. Michael emailed me often, more than an attorney at his level would typically do. He also listened. He was neither dismissive nor rude throughout my experience with him or his firm. I am happy I chose their firm and moved out of the way for them to handle something that seemed impossible, yet here we are. If clients want to be given the runaround and pushed to the back, you should not reach out to this firm. Once Michael worked his magic, it no longer mattered if we went to court and won, went to court and lost, or settled because the weight lifted off my body from my experience was priceless. However, if you want an honest and educated opinion from expert trial attorneys, well, in that case, you should contact Michael and his team. Finally, no amount of money could ever replace what Michael and his firm did for me emotionally. My case is in the process of settling, and I know that Michael and his team will be compensated for doing precisely what they said they would, but I will always be in their debt.

On a recommendation, I reached out to Tiffany at Young & Ma regarding what would become a discrimination lawsuit against my former employer. What really stood out to me at the beginning was getting a near-immediate response after I contacted her, followed by a phone call. Since things were very raw at the time, this was incredibly appreciated and made me feel heard from the start. In addition to being very empathetic, Tiffany told me the truth. I knew what to expect from the start, and she kept me in the loop as the case progressed. She asked me the right questions which provided insight into facts and issues where the law was broken that I didn’t even realize. I could go on and on about how professionally the case was handled, but the most important thing is that Tiffany made me feel confident that I was right and that I was justified in my allegations. That will always be something that I’ll remember about a situation that was scary and confusing. When we settled, I walked into the courtroom at peace and told my story. She was even so aware of my feelings that she calmed my nerves during the settlement conference with her witty and whip-smart personality. She helped me land on a number that was fair—and thrilled doesn’t even describe the feeling that I felt when we settled. Young & Ma is superb, and I wholeheartedly recommend them.

Stephen Donaldson, exemplifies everything one could hope for when seeking legal help. Stephen has been a part of my life for 5+ Years and has been serving as co guardian of my brother. He’s a life saver, as mentioned in the reviews below he is Kind, understanding, and brilliant. While his practice may have shifted to a different type of Law, there isn’t anyone else I’d call first for advice, guidance and legal help. I’d want him in my corner any day of the week. The world could use more folks like Stephen. Thanks for your time and help over the years it’s been a blessing. Jordan M.

My wife and I were buying our first home and without Erisa’s guidance this process would have been very overwhelming. She was very knowledgeable and caught every little detail that we would have never caught ourselves. She was patient with us and answered every question we had. She was always reachable and most importantly throughout this whole process she made us feel comfortable and that we were being taken care of. We’re very grateful for Erisa and we would highly recommend.

I have had nothing but positive experiences with Susan. Not only does she have excellent communication skill and its easy to get in touch with her but she also goes above and beyond to make sure all my questions and concerns are answered. She has walked me through the process of my case and always made sure I understood what was going on and that I was comfortable with every step we took. After being wrongly terminated from my job, I contacted Susan through this website and she got right to work making sure I understood my rights and the steps we were going to take. She was always available for any concerns I had, and always answered my emails and messages even though it was the weekend. Susan is highly competent as a lawyer and I would highly recommend her as an attorney because she goes above and beyond to make sure you get the justice you need. I have also had the pleasure to know Mr. Charles CARANICAS who has been a great support system in my case. During my meetings with Susan, he was also there to make sure I understood what was going on. He always brought in new contact and information to help with my case. He also called me in behalf of his wife to go through a contract agreement step-by-step and made sure I understood the clause and was comfortable with it. Working with Susan and Mr. Charles put you in good hands because they acknowledge whatever you have to say and you never feel that any of your concerns are ignored no matter how small. I would highly recommend him as an attorney.

I am very impressed with Mr. Slepian's work ethic. I consulted him with a question about possible actions to take, and he took the time to thoroughly understand the background of my immigration process. He was the first lawyer to do this, and as a non-native speaker, I really appreciated that he spoke slowly and clearly. He also didn’t try to push his services on me. Instead, he made me feel very relieved. If I ever need an immigration lawyer, he will be my first choice.

My husband and I had a very positive experience with Andrew Slepian, who assisted us in adjusting my husband's immigration status from visa to green card. Andrew made the process smooth and easy to understand. He answered all of our questions thoroughly and clearly outlined exactly the steps we needed to take. We look forward to continuing to work with Andrew on the next steps in our journey, as my husband works toward obtaining his U.S. citizenship.

My journey to U.S. citizenship, facilitated by Andrew Slepian Law, was remarkably smooth and successful. His knowledge of immigration law and commitment to personalized client service made a potentially overwhelming process feel manageable. A special thank you to Andrew, His dedication and empathy shone through in every interaction, making a significant impact on my experience. Andrew expertise not only helped navigate the complexities of my applications but also provided a reassuring presence throughout. The firm's professionalism, clear communication, and proactive approach were instrumental in the successful outcome to citizenship applications. Meetings and emails were scheduled as needed, very lenient with payments and ensuring I was well-informed and prepared at every step. Andrew not only acted as advisors but as advocates, genuinely invested in my success. I can recommend Slepian Immigration Law highly enough for anyone navigating the immigration process there exceptional service and the personal dedication provided invaluable peace of mind and results... thank you Andrew for all the help..

My experience with Kramer, Dunleavy & Ratchik, PLLC was breathtaking. I was run over by a car in Harlem while crossing a crosswalk with the right of way. The guy driving was 100% at fault. The state bar of NY enthusiastically recommend I set up a consultation with them. So I had a 5 minute call with his paralegal, Joanne O’Connell, it was nice. She wanted me to send my neurologist medical records to review and the detailed police report. Made it happen. Then, all communication ceased. No email was replied to thereafter. The only reason I can come up with is that Kramer, Dunleavy & Ratchik genuinely believe there is no merit in finding justice for pedestrians who wrongfully get run over by a car in the state of New York left with long-term injuries. So I found an actual attorney who got to work, now everything is good. This concludes my final thoughts on KD&R for now. I’m extremely honored to have been in Joanne’s presence. She and KD&R are extraordinary human beings - but has no follow through and all that talk lead to nothing. I think they’re great. Keep up the work.

I recently worked with Kerner & Kerner Law Firm on a personal injury case after a car accident. After my accident, I was overwhelmed with medical bills and insurance claims. Lawyer Kenneth and his team were incredibly supportive and guided me through every step. The team was always available to answer my questions, and they kept me updated throughout the process. Their expertise and dedication resulted in a favorable settlement. I appreciated how Lawyer Kenneth explained complex legal terms in a way I could understand and made me feel confident in our case. Thanks to their hard work, I received a settlement that covered my medical expenses and more. I highly recommend Kerner & Kerner Law Firm to anyone in need of a dedicated and knowledgeable accident law firm.”

After I tripped on an uneven sidewalk on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, my neighbor, a longstanding friend, introduced me to attorney Jonathan Ratchik who took my case on as he and the doctors deemed my left foot was severely injured. The landlord had failed to properly maintain the sidewalk in front of the brownstone he owned, posing a clear and present danger to pedestrians. Mr. Ratchik knows his law. He is patient and thorough. He guided me well, coached me thoroughly on the procedures, and allowed me to make decisions about medical treatment and the course of our legal action which took nearly three years when the landlord’s insurance company offered a fair settlement which we accepted. If you have a bad fall, call Jonathan Ratchik who will turn your bad fall into a good trip. Rafique K April 2024

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional legal representation provided by Togut, Segal & Segal LLP during our recent custody case with Celsius Network. Bryan M. Kotliar and Kyle Ortiz, the lawyers overseeing our case, demonstrated utmost professionalism and dedication. Their strategic approach and effective communication, including numerous Zoom meetings and timely update emails, greatly contributed to the successful resolution of our case. I especially appreciate their willingness to address unique issues by accepting individual phone consultations. The court's decision in favor of our case and the subsequent award of our custody assets have brought considerable relief. Despite the financial challenges associated with the bankruptcy process, the support and expertise provided by Togut, Segal & Segal LLP significantly eased the burden. I couldn't be happier with the level of service and communication throughout this challenging period. Please extend my gratitude to Bryan M. Kotliar and Kyle Ortiz for their outstanding efforts.

I can proudly say I was represented by Mr. D'emilia when I needed help with my case, Undoubtfully the best criminal defense attorney in NYC. He's truly exceptional. His in-depth knowledge of the law and strategic approach played a crucial role in building a strong defense. Throughout the entire process I was super stressed out and worried as it was my first arrest, but he took the time to communicate clearly with me, keeping me informed and involved every step of the way. His dedication to fighting for my rights and defending me in court was evident. Thanks to his expertise and hard work he was able to get my case dismissed on my very first court date.

I asked Jonathan to review my employment agreement. I sent it to him on a Sunday, and he gave an answer in 30 minutes. In our follow up discussion at 9 PM (!) two days later, Jonathan was very thorough. He pointed out a number of flaws in the agreement. Ultimately, he put my mind at ease on the matter. It is evident that Jonathan has many years of experience and great insights. I would definitely engage him again and I would highly recommend him to everyone. Bottom line: Jonathan has great experience and knowledge and works 24/7 for clients - what can be better than that!

I was initially taken aback by Jonathan's aggressive style but as we worked together we developed a good dialogue and rapport. I followed Jonathan's advice and I trusted him to manage the process and he delivered as promised. I have already recommended him to several other colleagues who are in similar situations.

If you've been sexually harassed or discriminated against in the workplace... I seriously can't recommend Steven Arenson enough! After countless introductory calls with various attorneys, who only seemed to be interested in money, I thankfully found Steven on Nolo. Desperate to find someone who seemed to care about the wrongdoing and justice over the payout, I scheduled yet another intro call. From the very first time Steven and I spoke, I knew he would be THE ONLY person to handle my case. During our call, he made me feel so comfortable and really took an interest in even the smallest of details. Not only was steven beyond diligent in his work as my attorney, but he was also a major support system for me as I went through the process of bringing about a sexual harassment lawsuit against my employer. It was such a relief that whenever I called, he would pick up and talk to me or immediately respond by email or text message. Steve always sought out my approval before sending official correspondence and kept me updated as we moved through the process. No secrets and no surprises! From the very beginning, Steven displayed impeccable judgment, kept a calm demeanor, and always knew exactly how to handle situations. We successfully settled the case for an amount beyond what I could have hoped for... ever. Steven’s deep understanding of the law coupled with his passion for justice was so inspiring that I am now in law school studying to be an attorney! For anyone reading this, I strongly recommend reaching out to him.

Megan and her team were amazing to work with. They addressed all of my questions/ concerns and maked sure I felt heard. My case took around 3 years, and when I was ready to give up the gave me the push and motivation I needed. I appreciate them for validating my feelings and pushing me to stand up for myself. Megan is extremely passionate and I'm grateful to have her in my corner. I can't thank her and her team enough.

Ms Goddard held my former employer accountable for a fair and appropriate separation settlement. I would have never been able to apply the necessary legal pressure in order to reach this result. Ms Goddard was the consummate advocate and professional. She helped me articulate my case in an accurate, compelling but dispassionate way and masterfully managed the conversations and all legal interactions with the EEOC and my former employer. I would - and will - recommend her to anyone who needs a legal advocate in order in order to reach a fair and equitable agreement with a prospective, current, or previous employer.

30 Sep, 2023 by Bea

My case took over 3 years, but never once did I doubt that I was in good hands. Megan and her team were supportive from the very beginning... they took me on as a client after another male-led firm said I have a valid claim but it wasn't worth their time and pursuit. She understood why this was so important to me, as a reflection of my values and commitment to justice, and agreed to help me on this journey of accountability. Although I worked with several attorneys on her team (who were all amazing!), eventually Megan personally managed my case to the end. She was very transparent about everything happening, allowed me to "be in the weeds" when I wanted to be, always shared the pros and cons of the decisions I considered, and was so responsive whenever I needed to connect. In addition to being a great advocate, she was such a wonderful listener (and yes, we had many late night calls filled with tears and fears). Megan and her team are professional, well-versed and experienced in employment discrimination law, and they are fierce! Despite being a small firm, you never feel abandoned and instead, it feels like you have an entire army behind you, encouraging you, and fighting for you even when you aren't in the room. Overall, I highly recommend the services of Goddard Law PLLC.

I was referred to attorney Hardaway by a few MBA school classmates that had several good experiences working with attorney Hardaway. He was successful handling high stakes litigation and transactions. Johnathon is a genius, the most intelligent and strategic thinking person I have ever met. At our first meeting he listened patiently, thereafter he outlined a six-month plan to resolve how best to negotiate and sell my corporation and the commercial property it sits on at or above my desired price. Then he delivered methodically. When there were unforeseen problems he resolved them quickly. I recommend Johnathon Hardaway to anyone seeking a great business lawyer and strategic thinker.

I am extremely grateful & appreciative for Seelig Law Offices, LLC. I am suffering severe pain & unable to return to work after experiencing a work related accident. Unsuccessful pain management treatment & multiple surgeries continued to keep me from returning. I met with several law offices to discuss my case but Richard Seelig & Philip Seelig, left me feeling I was being directed by experienced & capable hands. They discussed my options & chances of a positive outcome while guiding me with accurate knowledge & experience of obtaining Social Security Disability benefits (including loss of income). Keep in mind, this is a process dealing with government appointed doctors and could seem frustrating, overwhelming & my anxiety is through the roof at times, yet, all calls, texts & emails of concern were always responded to promptly by Richard Seelig or Philip Seelig with a phone call with honest, detailed answers. Also, Joshua Gohari was patient, proficient & beneficial regarding my medical reviews. Whenever I thought it seemed bleak, he was understanding and spoke compassionately. I always felt supported by their team, without exception, all impressions are made on the 1st call or in person meeting and being greeted by Angel is a plus for Seelig offices. He is professional, respectful, informative and always directed me accurately & accordingly. I highly recommend Seelig Law Offices, LLC. Regarding all needs of Social Security Disability.

Richard Seelig was excellent throughout my whole process . He was detail oriented and always professional and answered all my questions. The outcome of my case was favorable for my social security disabilty and I will be forever grateful to Richard and Seelig Law Firm. If you want a professional , and winning law firm I highly recommend Richard from Seelig Law. By the way this is the second time I used this law fim both with successful outcomes.

I have had an amazing experience with Richard Seelig and his law firm. His entire staff is professional and fully prepared to help, from the top attorney to the receptionists. The disability process can be long and discouraging, and I know for a fact that I would have never made it through without his guidance and expertise. I trust him unconditionally not just because he has been successful with my case but mostly because he is real. Whenever I spoke to him I never felt I was talking to an attorney because he didn’t treat me like a client but like a human being, even when he had to give me tough love. He does care, and that’s what matters. All this will help keeping you sane whenever you lose faith in the system (and sorry to say but that can happen often). Mr. Seelig took most of the pressure off my shoulders. If you think you can handle these cases on your own, do yourself a favor and think again because you most likely won’t succeed without a good attorney. I highly recommend you give him a call if you want to have a great ally and a higher success rate.

Vincent knows what’s he’s doing. He is also had the best price out of everyone I tried talking to. His office settled my case in less than a month! Don’t bother going anywhere else, it’ll be a waste of your time!

Mr. White understood exactly the scope of work and was very supportive. I had contacted other firms and did not get the same level understanding.

Look no further, this is the place you will get the representation you are expecting. It was during the Pandemic and I needed support, advice, guidance, and representation. His informational videos on Youtube lead me to his practice. From day one, Vincent and his team are truly impressive as they include you in every step of the process with impeccable communication and knowledge. They discuss cases together and I am a believer that it is wise to consult a team on strategy. I am very happy with the outcome and experience.

Jonas did a great job of getting my Employment Agreement and General Release corrected to benefit my needs. He advised all the requirements that needed to be changed and got me a much better agreement. He got me everything that I needed. I would highly recommend Jonas!

Jonas helped me through a difficult transition in which I needed to leave a job before my contract ended. He was prompt in his communication and very generous with his input and advice. He made time before and afterwards to discuss further and has remained a dependable lawyer that I can count on when I have questions. I highly recommend Jonas and am grateful for his important services.

I am very grateful that Ms Alena Shautsova accepted my case from the beginning to end she was successful. I had a pleasant experience with the attorney, she and her assistant Greg are very dedicated, experience and work very hard which resulted in my success. Ms Alena is honest, her fee is fair with the high quality of work she produce . All immigration forms , right type is filled correctly and on time. Ms Alena is the type of attorney that you can go to sleep after submitting your documents and attorney fee, knowing that a HONEST person is working on your behalf. On my interview I noticed that an attorney and his client was arguing over documentation that was missing, and this happened after their interview. Can you imagined that after waiting so many YEARS for an interview, that the wrong and incomplete forms were submitted? I had non of those troubles, Ms Alena submitted all my documentation electronically correctly. My greencard was mailed to Ms Alena and Greg contacted me and mailed it to me via Priority mail. Ms Alena/ Greg you both will always be my attorney . Thank you for being professional in your service and most of all HONEST.

Мне и моей дочке очень повезло попасть именно к Елене Шевцовой, после нескольких консультации с другими адвокатами. Когда дочка приехала в Америку, мы обращались к нескольким адвокатом, но только Елена дала нам профессиональный совет и убедила что у моей дочки есть очень хороший шанс на победу, и со дня начало работы с ней до получение одобрение ушло ровно 40 дней, и после одобрение через 8 месяцев моя дочка получила грин карту. Елена очень грамотный адвокат, который очень хорошо знает свое дело, я говорю это со сто процентной уверенностью, так как сама убедилась в этом! Я искренно благодарна Вам Елена, за вашу профессиональную работу! И спасибо Вашей команде, за то что они всегда оперативно отвечают на все вопросы/письмы и всегда обьясняют грамотно, ясно.

Atty. Nisar is a great lawyer. We were sued by our employer for an alleged breach of contract after leaving the company. He was quick to return our phone call and even went to our house for consultation since I was recovering from my delivery of my 2nd child. Unfortunately, we cant retain his law firm due to financial limitation. But then, when we asked for his advice again, he didnt hesitate to take our call and give us a very honest legal advice about our case.

He was great. He answered me promptly and gave me all the information that I was seeking. If i had to use a lawyer I will definitely use him.

I had case for unpaid overtime and two other lawyers blew me off because it wasn’t enough. They didn’t even know details. I found Peter online , he responded fast and invited me in for a free consultation. He quickly knew all angles to build a decent case. I received a decent settlement in months , NOT YEARS. He is thorough and responsive and gave excellent advice. I don’t usually leave reviews but Peter truly deserves one for a job well done !

Peter Romero is an excellent Attorney. He really listened to me . My case was emotionally draining to discuss but he provided me not only with the emotional support but with the confidence I lacked to stand up for my rights. His hard work and dedication to his practice showed through Our mutual respect for one another and my confidence in him sealed the deal. Stress free! I was so worried put he reassured me and predicted the outcome successfully.

The lawyers I have dealt with in the past, have left me with no confidence or security. Mr. Peter Romero was very knowledgeable assertive and proactive. Whenever I called him and left a message, he would always return my call the same day. He discussed my options and answered all of my concerns. I highly recommend Peter Romero to anyone who needs a Labor and employment Litigator. I want to personally thank him for his professionalism and for making my case run smoothly and in a timely manner. Sincerly Bob

Anne Donnelly Bush, the attorney, of ADBLAW demonstrated exemplary legal knowledge and professionalism when I retained her to represent me in a complex liability case. She explained the legal process in a manner easily understood. She confidently prepared me for all aspects of my case to prevent me from becoming flustered. She wins her cases, mainly because she is extremely thorough in her due diligence and outshines opposing counsel. Her credentials are impeccable and her law experiences speak for itself. Her legal training and knowledge are evident in her interactions with other lawyers and clients. For potential clients seeking legal representation, I highly recommend Anne Donnelly Bush.

Anne and her husband Dan were very helpful in explaining the process of action. They wanted me to feel comfortable with any legal actions that I and them took against my former employer. They were very persistent and precise with every detail of the case. They made sure that I received compensation for work that I performed and what my employer intentionally failed to provide.

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.
