A billion dollar case and I'll receive 4k!!! Lmao 🤣 communication is horrible no one's ever on the same page! A total circus 🎪 🙄

I'm currently using them as representation for the class action boy scouts of America case there's been extremely low communication between client and attorney I do also understand that they have an enormous clientele but I would like to know what's going on with my case and where it's at in the litigation and like how much longer it's going to be before there's a result but with that said it's my understanding that these guys are the best of the best so I trust that they will continue to fight as they have in the past and I'm sure they will continue to do in the future

The last few yrs has been very trying-
On more than one occasion I thought I might not make it through-
Thanks to Kaylin Bucheit at Slater Slater Schulman, and the rest of her Crew, I can now move on-
If any of my Wishes, Hopes and Dreams comes to fruition, know that it was only made possible by the help, courtesy and respect that you have extended to Me-
Life does not always come with happy endings, but this very small one means more to Me than all the others-

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...

Steven Siliato and his team at Lieb at Law helped making the sale of my mother’s home as pain free as they could. Losing a parent isn’t easy, especially suddenly without a will and now a home to sell. Steven and his team took the time to answer any questions, regardless of how trivial or silly the may be, offered sound advice, and took the necessary steps to make the transaction as stress free and smooth as possible. The expertise and value they provided in this process was tremendous and I’d highly recommend any friend or family member to utilize their services in the future.

I had a problem with a bogus outstanding lien that was preventing us from being able to close a real estate transaction on behalf of my parents' Estate. Billy Skulikidis came to my rescue! He reviewed all the information provided, asked a few questions and came up with a solution that should have successfully terminated the lien. When my termination filing was rejected by the County Clerk's Office, Billy followed up with the attorney there that same day. He then forwarded the parts of the law that supported his position. Ultimately, the County attorney agreed to accept the termination filing Billy had prepared for me and the lien has now been cleared.
We are now scheduled for closing. Great job by Billy and so much appreciated!

Save yourself from steve the worst unresponsive lawyer on long Island. I was hardly contacted the entire time of the sale and purchase of my houses. We had to call him every step on the way asking what we needed to do for the next step, this guy barely returned a phonecall the same day, sometimes taking even multiple days. From not involving myself in an email chain to keep me updated with what's going on, to him not talking to his partner to know what the contract was that he was working on, not knowing the correct closing date, and just not having a clue to talk to her first to make a plan before talking to me. Do not use him unless you enjoy a stressful time. He doesn't look closely at contracts at all and I told him to not take a pool table, and he never talked to me about it, and left it in the contract costing me 400$ after closing to remove it, he straight up lied to my face, Do not use him no matter what

Today we had a court appointment for Oral Arguments at Surrogate Court. Our attorney Alison was excellent and totally prepared in presenting all the facts of our case to the judge and the court clerk. Though we will have to wait for the judges final decision, our family could not have wanted anyone else by our side today and during these last trying two years.

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 had an extremely disappointing experience with Jack . He was consistently unavailable and seemed more interested in concluding the case with our landlord and getting paid than addressing our needs. Near the end of our case, he pressured us into "giving in" rather than fighting for our rights. We later found out this was just to expedite the process. After following his recommendation, the landlord forced us out, despite assurances that this was not possible. Since then, Jack has not returned any emails or calls. He is not reliable and I would not recommend his services to anyone.

I appreciate Anthony for his great Professionalism, his ability to get the job done, and his responsiveness. Throughout the entire process, he held open communications to keep me within the loop and also provide me reassurance.
My ticket was a right in a non-turning zone during certain hours of the day at a stop sign. He was able to turn it into a no-point and a timely result within 3 months.
I hired him for his expertise and can't thank him enough for providing me a great result for my case. I will be recommending Anthony Guistino for all my traffic-related matters. Thank You Again Anthony!

With a house full of drivers, I've had experiences with other attorneys who have fought traffic tickets for me. Most simply negotiate the points and fines with the district attorney.
Anthony Giustino went the extra mile. He filed a motion that challenged the ticket's validity. He won. My ticket was dismissed. No fine. No points. His fee was far less than any conviction would have cost.
Want to deal with a gentleman? Someone who gives you time, someone who listens? This is the man you need.
Thank you Mr. Giustino.

Let me not waste your time and get straight to the point. If you need a team that will be dedicated to your case and provide not only excellence but results then you are in the right place!!! My family and I have been clients of Barre Law from the start of my immigration journey where I was nervous and scared but now I can proudly say I am a United States citizen and I could not have done it without Abadir and his amazing well crafted team that treats us like family and truly cares.
Abadir is the most talented, humble and intelligent lawyer you will ever meet. He is the right person to have on your side while navigating this important yet often emotional transition. We also had the pleasure of working with PJ Alchamat and Tito Saavedra and they embody care, precision, excellence all while not making you feel like just a number. Trust Barre Law team to get it done! I have recommended my family members and friends and will continue to do so because I have that much confidence in him and his work ethic. Thank you BARRE LAW!!

He activated his entire firm Greta, Melanie, and Tito made sure they were supportive and pushing to attain the goal.
The Eve of the my final interview, this firm came through like family will do. All of them calling and making sure am ok and promising me all will be fine.
Thanks to them my green card interview did not last 5 mins and case was approved.
Clients are not treated like numbers here.

I had being through all with immigration before I met Abadir and Janelle. They are true examples of actions speak louder than words.
Despite the complications in my case, He took the load from me worrying and said in one sentence Sam I will get you your green card this year.
He activated his entire firm Greta, Melanie, and Tito made sure they were supportive and pushing to attain the goal.
The Eve of the my final interview, this firm came through like family will do. All of them calling and making sure am ok and promising me all will be fine.
Thanks to them my green card interview did not last 5 mins and case was approved.
Clients are not treated like numbers here.
Barr Law is family

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.
