I’m beyond grateful and thankful for meeting Mr. Cairone a few years ago. Words truly can’t thank him enough for everything he has helped me with. My husband passed away from a 100% service connected disability and I was at a loss at which direction to go after his passing for legal matters that needed addressed. Being a young widow I feel that many attorneys/lawyers took advantage of me when it came to all I was facing. I met Mr. Cairone in 2016, almost a year after my husband passed, and started opening up to him about the hurdles I was trying to go over with certain legal matters. He took to my story and without question told me to bring all the files to his house so we could go over everything and see how we could approach this case. He was very open, honest, and communicative through the entire process. He never gave up on me. He never took advantage of me. He was the greatest blessing that came into my life and put in so many hours of work on my case with my best interest always at the forefront. We were almost at the four year mark of my husbands passing and he reached out to me saying let’s give this a shot and file a lawsuit against this company. I almost didn’t do it because at this point I was discouraged by all the legal ups and downs I had dealt with to this point through other attorneys. He told me to sleep on it and advise by end of week. After a few conversations with my parents and much contemplation, I felt that if anyone was going to be able to help it would be Mr. Cairone. He worked diligently on the draft for the lawsuit and sent over for my review. I felt that it was above and beyond and an amazing chance to have in this case. The next day he sent me another draft (even though I approved the first haha) and again I was blown away by the thought and detail that went into this revised case that would be submitted. He filed the lawsuit and talked me through what could or couldn’t happen. He said this can take time, like it has to this point. He always kept in contact with me and kept me updated on everything that was going on. A few weeks after the suit was filed he called with a very positive call. He said that it looks like who we filed the lawsuit against wanted to settle out of court. I was blown away but not surprised because I felt the case he submitted was very meticulous with detail and an amazing representation of everything that my husband suffered through. Within a month and half total the case was settled and we won the settlement. The appreciation I have for Mr. Cairone is life changing. I faced many obstacles on my own after my husbands passing. Mr. Cairone 100% changed my life. He has allowed me the opportunity to pick myself up from all that I’ve been trying to rebuild since my husbands passing. And again, he never gave up on me. I can’t recommend Mr.Cairone enough. If I ever run into another legal matter I will contact him without a doubt for advice or representation. Thank you so much Mr. Cairone for changing my life. You have blessed me and I hope to bless people the way you do until I’m no longer on this earth.

After lost hope and frustrations I was put in contact with Attorney Cairone. I had a consult regarding my legal issues and subsequently was retained. Attorney Cairone from the beginning was empathetic, professional and extremely knowledgeable in his field of expertise. Throughout the entire process there was excellent communication and explanation of what was occurring. Attorney Cairone would send appointments reminders, documentation was able to be signed and sent using online programs. Email and phone communication was always prompt and Attorney Cairone would always advise the next available time he could be reached. I was confident in Attorney Cairone’s approach and trusted him to handle my case without worry. I can’t say enough how much I appreciate Attorney Cairone and his ability to connect with clients. His genuine personality greatly affected my view and emotions enduring one of the biggest obstacles in my life. I would highly recommend.

Laura Mattiacci, Console Mattiacci Law, participated in my in my lawsuit during the trial preparation phase of my case in age discrimination and retaliation case against my former employer. Along with the my attorney, Rahul Munshi, she served as trial attorney in federal court in a jury trial, which ended with a verdict in my favor. Honestly, I was deceived by her sweet and gentle manner, with which I was familiar that was outside of the court room. The court room persona, which she embodied at the trial took me by surprise and I was counting my lucky stars for not having to be cross-examined by a skillful, knowledgeable and assertive litigator. Rahul Munshi was my attorney in the preliminary phase, the discovery period and the court trial, a four plus years process which ended in my favor. I highly recommend Laura, Rahul and Stephen, as one of the plaintiffs represented by Console Mattiacci Law because I got the support of the firm on "Team Ruth."

I hired Console Law to represent me in a C.E.P.A. claim. Laura Mattiacci was a part of the team that represented me in court and she did a fantastic job. The trial took place over five days and Ms. Mattiacci was the lead litigator. During this process and the trial period she remained professional, engaged and very supportive of me as her client. My case is in appeal and Console Law is representing that matter as well. I would highly recommend Mrs. Mattiacci and the Console Law team.

After I was wrongfully accused in a noise violation case Laura not only defended me she researched the illegality of the "animal house" law perpetuated by SIC police and other resort areas throughout the country! She was prepared to present her case (a guaranteed W) in NJ Supreme Court. Her legal dynamic was so feared the prosecuting attorney withdrew his charge prior to higher court and I was exonerated.

Steve has been my attorney for my child custody case for the past almost two years. He is understanding, compassionate, and at the end of the day only has my child's best interest at heart. It was been a very complex case and he has helped me through it. We are not out of the woods yet but I know whatever we might have to deal with in the future Steve will have my back.

Attorney Franko was very helpful, knowledgeable, and caring during the events of my case. I had previously hired an experienced attorney from a well-known area firm, and had I continued to retain his services over Attorney Franko's, not only would I have lost financial compensation, I would have incurred increased bodily damage from a misdiagnosed spinal injury that he discouraged a second opinion on. Attorney Franko doesn't over promise compensation, but he also works his hardest to reach the best possible outcome for his clients. I was, and continue to be, treated with respect and kindness. I have recommended him to friends and colleagues, and would continue to do so.

Bell and Bell took care of all the messy "communication" with my former employer. It was really comforting to know that someone was in my court and that I was in fact going to pull through this. I am extremely grateful for everything Jim did for me at a time when I was extremely vulnerable. I've recommended Jim to many friends with employment issues.

Mr Bell and his firm are the best. I wouldn't go anywhere else. I have recommended him to many friends. He is great, he worked very hard in both of my cases to get the best possible results. I couldn't have been happier with the results. I wouldn't use any other firm ever. The people that work with Mr Bell all do a great job. He was very professional and met all the deadlines for filling that we needed to meat in my case.

Maria represented our firm during extended union labor negotiations which involved complex matters of labor law. She represented us before the NLRB, in NJ Superior Court, and before the NJ Unemployment Commission. She interacted not only directly with our management but also directly with our employees. She provided expert advise, was extremely accessible, and worked tirelessly to achieve a positive result .

Rahul Munshi represented me in an employer discrimination case over a period of 4+ years, which ended in federal court jury trial with a verdict in my favor. While the process for a plaintiff is demanding and frightening, Mr. Munshi supported me over four years to resolve my complaint against my former employer. When you pick a Console Mattiacci Law, you will have the support of each member of the firm cheering for you. Stephen Console was present for a pretrial conference and the day of the trial for jury selection. Weeks before trial date, I learned that Laura Mattiacci would serve as co-counsel for the trial. I knew about her well-regarded reputation in the area of employment law and was surprised by her sweet face and demeanor outside of the courtroom, which is quite deceptive to her courtroom persona. Throughout the trial, I was grateful for being on the side represented by Rahul and Laura rather than the opponents. I would be remiss if I did not mention paralegal, Charlene Bates, who worked behind the scenes in the time before the trial. As the trial approached, she moved front and center and served as the "stage manager" of a courtroom set. I do not recall a time in my life when I felt so supported! With Rahul Munshi's guidance, I found the courage to take on my Goliath to uncover the truth. Finally, I want to acknowledge the members of Console Mattiacci Law for taking time to attend the trial. I may not know your names, but I will always remember each of your kind faces.

If you are in need of legal representation, I highly recommend reaching out to Mr. Goldstein. Throughout my experience working with him, Mr. Goldstein displayed an exceptional level of professionalism that put me at ease during a stressful time. He took the time to thoroughly explain each step of the legal process, ensuring that I was informed and prepared at every stage.
When faced with severe allegations, Mr. Goldstein's expertise and dedication truly shone. Not only did he diligently fight on my behalf in court, but he also strategized effectively to have the case ultimately dismissed. His commitment to my case and his unwavering support were instrumental in achieving this favorable outcome.
I found Mr. Goldstein to be not only a skilled lawyer but also a compassionate advocate who genuinely cares about his clients' well-being. His ability to navigate complex legal matters with ease and his attention to detail were truly impressive. I felt confident and reassured knowing that he was in my corner, relentlessly working to achieve the best possible result for me.
In conclusion, if you are facing a legal challenge, I highly recommend entrusting your case to Mr. Goldstein. His professionalism, knowledge, and effectiveness in the courtroom make him an invaluable ally in navigating the legal system and securing a positive resolution for his clients.

Austin thoroughly spent a few weeks evaluating whether I had a case or not and told me which one out of the affected moreso had a case. He told me the risks of getting into a case and the repercussions legally for me. He also told me about a path forward in the case for me. He respects his business and his clients and it’s a good balance. He is super approachable as well. He is very realistic but not in a cruel way.

This is the worst experience that I’ve ever had. First they’ve had several lawyers on my case and the only way that I found out about it was if I called them, they took 3 years to get medical records that I got for them within 3 days!! They never call or email you until you have to call them and be firm about your case. I’ve never dealt with a firm that doesn’t call or reach out to you ever unless you call them first!! Now it’s been right at 4 years waiting on my case to be over and they’ve waited all these years to tell me a couple of months ago that I may not be physically getting the money anyway and when I spoke to the lawyer 5 months ago he told me that the case would be over in 1-2 months and it’s still ongoing almost 6 months later, I was also told 2 months ago that everything was finalized and approved and that it would take a couple of weeks and I still haven’t heard anything back except for “we’re still waiting “!! This is the most unprofessional experience I’ve ever had, no communication on top of lies, lies, and more lies!! I would never recommend this place to anyone at all!!!

We hired the Killino Firm to help with a motor vehicle accident. We had a bit of a rocky start due to turnover but once we were assigned to attorney Michael Sabatina our experience changed for the better. Mr. Sabatina took the time to review and explain everything to us. We felt he was truly doing everything he could to get us the best outcome possible. Our case had multiple roadblocks due to circumstances out of our control but Michael stayed on top of and navigated the issues amazingly well. We are so grateful for Mr. Sabatina and his team. He fought for us and we are incredibly happy with the outcome!! Would highly recommend attorney Michael Sabatina!!

EXCELLENCE in their knowledge and application of the law. EMPATHY for the life changes I was going through with losing my sister, marriage, and job within 6 months, and EFFICIENT in their communication and filing of documents with me, my ex-wife's attorney, and the court. My legal team at Petrelli Previtera helped me navigate a better financial outcome than if I went through my divorce alone or with a less capable team.
In spite of my ex-wife's delay tactics and attempts to hide marital assets during discovery, I was able to work with my legal team at Petrelli Previtera to get my divorce done in 9 months!
Peace on the other side of divorce has been great and makes me hopeful I will find happiness again. Starting with myself.
Thank you, Alicia and Maureen!

My situation is still early in the process but regardless I want to say this firm is going above and beyond for me and my situation. They are the only firm out of 4 that has even agreed to look into my case. From my initial consult with Sharon to my communication with Kelly thus far, I am beyond impressed. They work behind the scenes when you think they took a break you get clarification they are still swinging for you at 7:15pm on a Tuesday night. I am honored to call them my attorneys. I highly recommend them!
Ps Out of all of the law firms I considered I was "lucky enough" to get maybe two rejection emails, other than that I never heard back from anyone I contacted..My point is, this happens, they are busy.

Stephanie helped me with the mediation process for divorce. She was very capable of respecting both sides of the issues. She was knowledgeable of options we had not thought of which could save time and money. She did not pressure or rush the process. She was at times difficult to reach and not quick to respond to correspondence in a timely manner outside of the mediation room. That would be the only improvement I would suggest.

I have had wonderful dealings with Stephanie and use her as my business attorney for my LLC and have used her in reviewing covenants of non-compete for potential hires. Where I have liked dealing with her over other business and corporate attorneys is she has shown a genuine interest in my business and because of that she seems more adept at anticipating what I am looking for and my needs from a legal perspective. Where other attorneys may give me exactly what I ask for, and there is certainly nothing wrong with that approach, she has learned my language enough where she seems to be much closer to the target on the first shot. It saves a lot on the back and forth and that to me is the most frustrating aspect of working with contracts. I am as astute as most small business people in legal matters, but if you have experienced any frustration with communication, and, certainly in my case it was due to some of my own lack of knowledge and imprecision, Stephanie is an excellent choice and worth reaching out to.

My case was a tough one, and spanned 8 frustrating years. I began with an attorney based in New York (my home state) who was also licensed in the state of Pennsylvania where my injury occurred. After years with the other law firm and no results, I was pleased to find Soloff & Zervanos, and specifically Drew Von Bargen. I switched firms and Drew immediately got up to speed on my case and went to work. He was very patient with me, answered questions as best he could given the complicated nature of my case, and unlike my prior attorney, he made himself available. He initiated texting and made it okay for us to communicate that way. It allowed me to feel like I actually knew what was going on, and didn't have to go through assistants and paralegals just to speak to my lawyer. We recently wrapped up my case and I finally got the settlement that I waited many years for. I really appreciate Soloff & Zervanos, and Drew of course, for getting this over the finish line for me. If you're seeking an attorney for your injury, call Drew! He'll get it done!

I received legal counsel from Simon and Simon. I feel as though they did a great job and I could not ask for much more. Their legal staff is excellent with communicating with their clients and handle my case with the upmost professionalism. My attorney, Mary McCarthy, and attorney Andrew Baron along with the paralegal, Jessica Cox did everything in their power and went above and beyond every time throughout the entire process. In the future, I plan on using Simon and Simon for any legal representation needs because I could not ask for better legal representation than what I received from attorney Mary McCarthy, attorney Andrew Barron, and the paralegal Jessica Cox. I will be recommending any family and friends to Simon and Simon because they treated me with the upmost respect while included in every step of the way and they are some of the best legal representation in the Philadelphia tri-state area.

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.
