I was a student at one of the most prestigious educational institutions in the US, and undoubtedly, the world. I had been away on a medical leave of absence for a year after my first year and the school was giving me a difficult time getting back in. I contacted several lawyers, consulted with quite a few, all to have each and every one of them say there was nothing that could be done to get this institution to allow me to continue at that point in time. I had to do what the school asked. In the mix of lawyers contacted was Mr. Ricotta's firm. One morning, soon after I had left that message on their answering machine (I had left the message on a holiday), Mr. Ricotta called me back. Both Mr. Ricotta and Mr. Marks treated me with respect, and as a human being, not just as a client. They talked me through the whole process, gave me good advice and got the job done! It was smooth sailing for me, and I am sure that this was all because they worked hard for me. To go head-to-head with this school is no mean task. They have some of the best lawyers money can buy, but this firm came through and worked without the least hint of apprehension when all others turned me down. Today, almost a year from when this all happened, I can proudly say I am a graduate of this prestigious institution, all thanks to Mr. Ricotta and Mr. Marks!

Richard Roth is the consummate attorney. The scope and depth of his legal knowledge, courtroom and negotiating skills in commercial litigation has impressed me for the many years I have known him on a professional basis. If you are ever in need of a sharp, insightful and aggressive litigator, he is the one to call. His results speak for themselves!

To be perfectly clear I do not think that there is a smarter more effective litigator in the country. He has not represented me and won in federal court litigations, but also large scale arbs, and achieved results in both, as well as mediations, that well exceeded my wildest expectations. In a world drowning with lawyers, Richard truly sets himself apart not just by his superior work but the fact that he genuinely cares about his clients as people. He has fought for me with all of his heart ( literally ) and for the past 16 years I have chosen only Richard as my go to, trusted attorney. I have also referred him a MASSIVE AMOUNT OF BUSINESS and they are equally as satisfied.

Let’s be honest... no one wants to need an attorney, ever!
However, if you do, as we did, this is THE only firm to consider on LI. From partners, Rob and Sarah, to junior attorneys, associates and support staff, their services are simply unmatched.
And wowza! There’s even a real human, extremely competent, receptionist that answers the telephone. No push this and speak that and try to muddle thru some silly automated phone system; a consistent personal, caring approach to business at every level.
Rob Valli is thorough, on point and straight forward, mixed with kindness and compassion. Don’t mistake his kindness for weakness, tho! He can be a “bulldog”, if necessary and definitely precisely when needed. make no mistake, he knows his business and gets the job done.
There’s no “sugar coating“ and telling you what you want to hear, refreshing! He, and his associates at every level, provide everything you need and want on your side. Strong communication skills are a must for me and they deliver information clearly and concisely. Always, in a professional and succinct comprehensive manner. They know lay of land on LI and have the skill set to get job done.
Recently, I was asked how I know Rob when referring him, again. I paused... just for a moment and said “...Rob is my friend!”. I suddenly realized I do consider him my friend. I trust him implicitly, he’s kind, thoughtful and adds a true human element. It’s exactly what we all want and need when we unfortunately find we need an attorney. What more would you ask for in a friend!?
I’d use Rob for any and all legal needs and highly recommend him, and his firm, to anyone looking for a complete legal team package. It simply doesn’t get any better.
Don’t look any further, he and his colleagues are it!

My husband and I had an excellent experience with Dotan Cohen Law Offices while applying for our green cards.
Their team was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and attentive throughout the entire process. They guided us step by step, addressing all our concerns and ensuring we had all the necessary documentation. Thanks to their expertise, our applications were approved without any issues.
We will definitely be using their services again to apply for our kids' visas once we enter the USA. We highly recommend this office to anyone needing assistance with immigration matters—they truly went above and beyond!

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.

I highly recommend Attorney David Fallon for several reasons:
• Expertise: Mr. Fallon's extensive knowledge of the relevant laws and precedents was instrumental in navigating the complexities of my case against the US Forest Service, giving me confidence throughout the process.

• Affordability: Mr. Fallon has been reasonable and transparent with his fees, making quality legal representation accessible during this challenging time.
• Communication: He has been prompt in his communication, keeping me informed every step of the way and addressing my questions in a timely manner.
• Empathy: Mr. Fallon took the time to patiently explain procedures to me, a legal novice, and showed empathy towards the traumatic experiences I had to relive. His approach was both professional and compassionate, making a difficult situation more manageable.
Overall, Mr. Fallon's exceptional legal expertise, organizational skills, financial reasonableness, and compassionate approach were instrumental in the successful outcome of my case. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a skilled and dedicated legal representative.

Sean O Hara has no business in law, came off nice, seemingly, except he contradicted himself several times. Claiming he never heard from the company, but knew where they sent my w-2…Did nothing for nine months and when I gave him crucial information he tried to get money, completely unaware that I had another attorney related to this case. His terrible work caused me to go through their employees and that’s a no for me dog, all white men. Fired and replaced. Don’t waste your time, not my first rodeo, but apparently his. Mind you the case was easy, pictures, text messages and he blew it, lazy, lazy, lazy. Easily the most important client you’ll ever have too.

Aaron Ferri consulted with me on a matter, and his insight and professionalism is something I don’t experience everyday. He is proficient, thorough, incredibly articulate and responsive. He and his firm are reliably competent and highly successful. You should definitely consider them if you have labor issues and require representation. I’d give them more stars if there were more to give than five.

On August 27th at 2:00 PM EST, I called your office seeking legal advice and assistance. Unfortunately, I encountered an individual who displayed an unprofessional and discourteous attitude. When I initially explained my situation, she abruptly informed me that your office does not handle such matters and hung up without allowing me to ask any further questions.
I called back to inquire about the specific cases your office does handle, as I believe my civil rights have been violated. However, before I could fully articulate my question, she interrupted, stating, "I said we don’t handle this, and I said have a great day," and then hung up on me once again.
Frustrated by this lack of assistance, I called a third time to request to speak with a supervisor. On two separate occasions, she answered the phone only to immediately hang up. When she finally responded, she simply said, "Please stop calling."
I would like to bring this matter to the attention of her supervisor, as this behavior reflects a lack of customer service skills and professionalism. It is disheartening to encounter such a response, especially when reaching out for help in a difficult situation. Individuals who prioritize dismissing potential clients over offering assistance should not be in positions where they interact with the public. As a college student in need of legal help, I expected better treatment.
I hope this feedback is taken seriously and that appropriate steps are taken to ensure others do not experience the same level of disregard.

Brett Kaplan and Caroline Miller are the best. I came from another law firm because my lawyer wasn't giving me the service I deserved. Mr. Kaplan told my story to the EEOC in a way that described my experience as it happened to me. We worked together as a team and he told a compelling narrative that I know will shake my former employer to the core. This firm is diligent, responsive, and will serve as your voice to the courts. I'm very pleased - and certainly happy to leave my former lawyer behind!

I consulted with Abe and Derek about a discrimination and tortious interference case in December 2018. They provided very helpful insight and advice. They listened carefully and treated me with care and respect. (Thank you!) They were willing to take on the case on a contingency basis, and believed they could reach a successful settlement. However in case a lawsuit would be needed, that would have to be filed in the state where the offense took place, hence I needed to look for attorneys based there. It was very nice of Derek and Abe to offer this advice, and I am very grateful to them for the kindness they showed that day. I'd recommend them to anyone.

Israel was recommended to me by a colleague at the large international law firm where I work. I retained him to represent a low-income friend whose neighbor filed a frivolous and baseless claim in Small Claims (Kings County) . Israel did a superb job. He explained things clearly, was very kind to the client (who is elderly and was frightened), and he was a forthright and fearless advocate in all appropriate ways. I work with excellent attorneys all year long, and now he is on that list.

I was fortunate to have found Paul! I tasked him with writing my prenup, and he was attentive and helpful throughout the entire process. I had zero prior experience with marital law, and I came to him with a ton of loose ideas for what my partner and I were looking for in the document. I knew it would be a difficult task to come to an agreement between all parties, and draft a legal document that satisfied everyone’s interests, but Paul came through. We worked together, and I found him very personable and easy to work with. He was able to break-down complex topics easily for me to understand and was extremely meticulous. Prenups can be a difficult endeavor for the parties involved, but Paul made the process extremely doable. We ultimately achieved the perfect document for our needs, which I am very grateful for. Will be recommending him to my friends and colleagues. If you need a prenup lawyer, Paul is your man.

I am deeply grateful for the exceptional assistance I received from Lieb at Law. As a first-generation college graduate without extensive social connections, finding the right lawyer was a challenging task. From the moment I reached out, Andrew Lieb at Lieb at Law welcomed me, expressing a genuine commitment to help a fellow Smithtown friend.
Navigating my case, which involved the recognition and defense of mental and emotional health under disability rights in housing issues - was no easy feat. Many lawyers hesitated to take on my case due to its complexities and it being a grey area still. However, Lieb at Law not only accepted the challenge, but provided clear and confident guidance throughout the entire process.
Natalie Donaldson and the entire team at Lieb at Law supported me diligently over the course of more than a year, demonstrating patience. Although my case may be small in their overall operations, the impact on my life was profound. I am sincerely thankful for their unwavering support and commitment to my case. For anyone seeking compassionate and knowledgeable legal assistance, I highly recommend Lieb at Law.

My experience with Zackary Meyer was incredible. He made me feel comfortable in explaining my litigation matter that had been going on for over 5 years. You can’t imagine the frustration I’ve been dealing with for that long period of time. I explained my side of the story as he reviewed my case and he understood exactly what was going on and agreed to take my case. He also explained to me he didn’t offer any promises or guarantee on the outcome but he said he would do his very best.
When this firm offers to do their best “look out” because that is exactly what you will get. On my trial date at court, I thought I would be nervous but I wasn’t because a very polite young man by the named Ali Jaffery partner of Zackery Meyers Firm attended. He presented the facts in a very dignified manner. The facts were proven for this trail and the lawsuit against me were dismissed at its entirety. I am so grateful for this firm. If you are ever in need for a law firm that gives a client 100%, I highly recommend Sutton Sacks and Meyers. The expertise of this firm is one that I am so grateful for and will be long lived.
Again, Kudos to Zackary Meyer and Ali Jaffery.

On a good day Guardianship can be confusing and challenging, especially for a new Guardian. You are constantly familiarizing yourself with new information pertaining to a wide array of topics that come along quickly and consistently. At times you require help and insight from those with more experience specific to the legal intricacies that you may suddenly be encountering. I am thankful that in the vast sea of attorneys to choose from, that I was referred to Alison Arden Besunder of Goetz Fitzpatrick to assist me and the Guardianship in addressing an appeal brought on unexpectedly. Appellate work appears: unique to your case, detail focused, time consuming and requires nuanced skill and approach in response and execution. Ms. Besunder and the members of her team understood the record at hand and responded professionally, with a tone that was very much welcome and tracking with my efforts and focus as Guardian. They were: kind to me, understanding of the situation, communicative, along with being clear in their directions and in the answering of my questions. Ms. Besunder's experience and knowledge along with the efforts and kindness of her team in dealing with this legal matter were welcome during this unexpected and challenging time. Ms. Besunder and Goetz Fitzpatrick have represented me as Guardian and responded to the appeal on my behalf- which I'm very thankful of their efforts. Highly recommended and much appreciated.

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.

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.
