Yancey and Zach are phenomenal attorneys and I couldn't be more pleased with the way that they handled my case. They were true professionals from the start, and treated me with respect and compassion throughout the whole scary and uncertain process. They made themselves available to answer any questions I had or to walk me through any concerns that I brought up. I felt comfortable in all of my interactions with them and they kept me up to speed on all things legal related to my case. Although I would not wish my experience on anyone, I will forever be grateful to Yancey Ellis and Zach Deubler for getting me through the most traumatic experience of my life. I am incredibly thankful for the professionalism and care they showed not only me, but my family as well. They are the best of the best!

Excellent service in every respect! Yancee Ellis, who handled my case, not only quickly understood the facts of the case from my descriptions, he also researched and uncovered additional facts on line, and from his sources, and developed winning defense arguments at the Preliminary Hearing, resulting in an extraordinarily rare, "No Probable Cause" outcome bringing my case to a successful conclusion. I hearty recommend him, and the firm for anyone needing good, through legal council.

After an unfortunate event, I hired Mr. Burke as a Security Clearance lawyer. He explained the process, the guidelines and my options very clearly. Mr. Burke advised me about what I could expect and drafted the required paperwork. Without his help, I highly doubt I would still have my clearance or my career today.

I used Sean to help me upgrade my OTH discharge. On our first visit, Sean was extremely professional and caring. He listened to my story with full attention. We went over my medical, mental and personnel records and made a timeline from when I first joined to when I left the service. Eventually, we put together a well designed case to submit to the Naval Discharge Review Board. I was not expecting it, but Sean was able to upgrade my discharge to full Honorable from an OTH. Even after opening up his own firm, Sean stay true and kept me up to date on my case. I cant thank Sean enough, it has been a long journey but I finally got the discharge that I truly deserve. I'd recommend him to anyone who needs help, it was a blessing to have found and worked with Sean.

The process and long but he never failed to communicate with me and work through every process very thoroughly and in the end, he helped me get back into the Navy we won the case together! I will be a soon-to-be commissioned ENS in February and I cannot thank him enough! Would recommend him to anyone and would have him on my next case as well. He was very friendly and very organized and helped me be very professional during the entirety of my disenrollment process. I am very thankful for him. He is a great lawyer that will fight for you.

Sean was an incredible advocate for me. I felt lost and helpless in my situation before I met Sean. He was patient and understanding at times when I was emotionally charged. He always got back to me swiftly when I had questions or concerns. Sean is also incredibly knowledgeable. If he didn’t know the answer right off hand, he always knew where to find it. It was clear to me that he actually cared about my situation, and that was very comforting. You place a lot of trust in your attorney, so it was nice to know he cares about his work and his clients. 100% recommend Sean to anyone!

Gregory English has handled several legal matters for members of my family, and we have always been highly satisfied with the results he has obtained. He is reliable and always gives his clients his full effort. Atty. English has given sound advice about whether to accept a plea deal and will mount a vigorous and effective defense in court if needed. I recommend him without reservation.

My name is Wazhma. I have never referred anyone to Mr. English. I hired Mr. English because someone fabricated lies on me. Mr. English showed up one hour prior to the actual court time. He was very professional and he proved throughout the court time that everything was fabricated by the other party. Mr. English won the cases. The person who showed lots of hate probably is the case that individual lost and Mr. English won the cases. I encourage everyone to consult with Mr. English so you could find out for yourself that everything the hater said is fabrication. Mr. English is an awesome, loyal, amazing and most importantly trust worthy and go getter lawyer.

I'm so thankful for The Barrera Law Firm and the work they did on my workers comp case. In September 2023 I injured myself at work and ruptured my achilles tendon; a complete freak accident that left me unable to walk.
A month after surgery my employer began to harass me about coming back to work but also started contacting the doctors office behind my back to have them create a doctors note that would indicate that I'm able to return work. At that point I sought counsel with the Barrera Law firm for help.
Attorney Caballe and his Senior Paralegal Mrs. Cumes were nothing short of amazing with guiding me through the process of getting treated fairly and properly compensated by my employer while recuperating from a severe work injury. I was truly pleased by the out come of my case.

I engaged Kylie Newsom of Moore, Christoff, & Siddiqui, to represent me as the Plaintiff to argue a civil litigation case concerning negligence in a dog attack. Kylie made an incisive examination of the facts, and questioned witnesses in court with precision and poise that resulted in a favorable ruling.

Emily Sripinyo is a Legal Superstar! 🌟
Emily Sripinyo truly went above and beyond in reviewing my prenup. Despite juggling a busy schedule with other court cases, she made sure to dedicate ample time and attention to my needs. The prenup, originally drafted by my fiancée's lawyer, was a daunting 37 pages long, filled with complex legal jargon. Emily was a beacon of clarity and support, consistently reminding me that my fiancée and I are on the same team. She meticulously sifted through the document, eliminating unnecessary terms and provisions, and brilliantly condensed it to a much more manageable 24 pages.
Her explanations were clear and thorough, making what seemed like an overwhelming task feel completely manageable. Emily's dedication, expertise, and personable approach made the entire process so much easier for me. I am incredibly grateful for her outstanding work and highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal assistance. Emily Sripinyo is truly the best! 🙌✨

Exceptional Representation: Kylie
I can't express enough how grateful my roommate and I are for having Kylie represent us during our potential eviction ordeal. From the outset, Kylie's affordability, coupled with her exceptional communication skills, put us at ease. Throughout the entire process, she made sure we understood every step and procedure involved, ensuring transparency and clarity. Her dedication to our case was evident, and she went above and beyond to ensure a smooth resolution. Thanks to Kylie, what could have been a stressful experience turned into a manageable situation. We highly recommend her services to anyone in need of reliable legal representation. My roommate and I are young women with little experience of legal proceedings. I promise you won’t regret your decision!

Marina Medvin is an exceptional criminal defense lawyer and I would recommend her to to anyone without hesitation. She is an excellent communicator and very responsive to questions and deeply knowledgeable in the workings of the legal system and knows how to get her clients the best outcomes. She takes the time to explain everything so that her clients have the least amount of uncertainty possible to face. I feel fortunate to have found an attorney who is so dedicated to both her profession and clients. Thank you Marina.

Five Stars is not enough for Marina Medvin!
The scariest and darkest day of my life was when the FBI picked me up. I felt helpless and didn’t even know where to begin to find legal representation. Fortunately for me, I found Marina Medvin. She has been a light throughout this entire process.
Marina is an exceptional attorney and a fierce advocate for her clients. She is also a genuinely lovely person. My case was ultimately dismissed and I am free man today. For that, I am forever grateful to Marina. I do not know what I would have done without her.
If you are searching for a defense attorney you will not find a better one than Marina Medvin.

A bit lacking on customer service and manners. Every time I call them my "hellos", "good mornings" and "have a nice day" are greeted with silence, a hang up click or some snarky response.
Do they know they're talking to paying customers? I wonder....
Call me old fashion, but I do appreciate a respectful exchange and greeting. Especially if I am paying top dollar for boilerplate templates I could potentially fill out myself.

Bottom Line - Colleen Haddow is the BEST attorney I could have ever wished for --my only regret is that I didn't start with her from the beginning.
Ms. Colleen Haddow came as a recommendation from my previous law firm following failed mediation in a highly complex, contentious, and financially draining divorce and custody case. The opposing counsel - whose professional reputation precedes her as a person devoid of ethics and civility, made finding a willing, capable, and affordable replacement daunting. Colleen personally and immediately took my call for an intake interview. When I opened by informing her of who opposing counsel was, she simply laughed with complete confidence, accepted my case, and immediately got my case moving on the right track.
Unlike opposing counsel in this case, Colleen is a legal professional with impeccable integrity and ethics; but not to be confused with someone who submits to bully tactics or shies away from confrontation in or out of the courtroom. In contrast, Ms. Haddow is emotionally intelligent and well versed in the rules of the court to effectively persuade and, if need be, compel cooperation from even the most difficult of personalities. In doing so, she also remained a steadfast, approachable, and responsive attorney (often responding to me within minutes), who consistently addressed my concerns, provided objective perspective, and gave absolute sound guidance amidst the evolving challenges within the case. In short, she kept me sane and grounded in arguably the most stressful and emotionally draining period of my life.
In addition to her superior soft skills, Colleen also demonstrated unmatched expertise and experience in distilling and framing the key issues of my case (fully explaining the legalities), to include those I hadn't initially seen, understood, or considered. She proved invaluable in interpreting and exposing financial information, indiscretions, and activities. She was also proactive, strategic, anticipatory, and prepared always and on all fronts. I am convinced that she and her abilities alone are the REASON that ultimately resulted in my case outcome far surpassing my initial expectations from failed mediation, and resulting in a final settlement that exceeded my best-case scenario in court (albeit that she was fully prepared and willing to execute).
Colleen saved me thousands in legal expenses, but more importantly, she helped me overcome a series of short-term losses in exchange for an overwhelming long-term gain in my journey to a new and better life.
In the strongest terms possible, I highly recommend Colleen Haddow for all family litigation.

Perry charged $2500 retainer, never billed against, refuses to return it (which is the law). Yet he claims in his appeal to the courts about his gun charge that he describes himself as " VERY PRO-LAW ENFORCEMENT" (journalstar.com) yet tells me to hire an attorney to contact his Insurance about getting my retainer returned. Cannot understand why he does not enforce the law here and return my retainer?

He filed counterclaim leading us (3) to think we had damages instead should have filed immediate dismissal which we asked him for as soon as we hired him but instead he gave plaintiff all of our personal information; ssn, bank accounts, did not block out any of that but plaintiffs attorney blocked out all of their information....if that is your strategy to sell out your clients because you are too busy fighting 2 lawsuits of your own....hope you do not do any other clients an injustice ....we asked for immediate dismissal and you not us wanted to file counterclaim and you ran up our bill. Why did you change my original review? Did not want others to see it?

What a Government Lawyer Can Do for You
A government lawyer specializes in legal issues related to government policies, regulations, and disputes involving public entities. Whether you are a private individual, business, or government agency, a government lawyer provides expert guidance on navigating the complexities of government law. These attorneys handle cases ranging from constitutional law, administrative law, regulatory compliance, and government contracts to defending or challenging government actions.
Government lawyers help individuals and organizations understand their rights and obligations under the law, represent them in disputes with government agencies, and assist in matters of government contracting, procurement, or public policy.
When Should I Hire a Government Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a government lawyer in several situations involving government regulations, compliance, or disputes. Common reasons to hire a government lawyer include:
- Government contracts and procurement: If you are bidding for or negotiating a contract with a government agency, a lawyer can help ensure compliance with federal, state, or local contracting rules.
- Regulatory compliance: Businesses operating in highly regulated industries (e.g., healthcare, finance, environmental sectors) often need legal guidance to comply with government regulations and avoid penalties.
- Government investigations: If you're being investigated by a government agency such as the IRS, SEC, or EPA, a government lawyer can help defend you against allegations or negotiate settlements.
- Challenging government actions: If a government agency has denied a permit, license, or benefit, a lawyer can help you appeal or challenge the decision in court.
- Constitutional and civil rights issues: If you believe your constitutional rights have been violated by a government entity, such as in cases involving free speech or discrimination, a government lawyer can help you seek justice.
- Public policy or lobbying efforts: If you are involved in lobbying or advocating for policy changes at the local, state, or federal level, a government lawyer can provide legal advice on compliance with lobbying laws and strategies for effective advocacy.
Hiring a government lawyer early in the process can help you navigate complex legal frameworks and avoid costly mistakes when dealing with government-related legal issues.
What Does a Government Lawyer Do?
A government lawyer provides a wide range of services that cover interactions between individuals, businesses, and government entities. They can:
- Assist with government contracts: Helping clients navigate procurement laws, drafting contracts, and resolving disputes related to government contracting.
- Provide regulatory compliance advice: Offering guidance on meeting regulatory requirements for industries subject to federal, state, or local laws.
- Handle administrative law matters: Representing clients before government agencies, such as appealing administrative decisions, applying for permits, or defending against regulatory enforcement actions.
- Challenge or defend government actions: Representing clients in lawsuits involving government agencies, including constitutional challenges, civil rights violations, or disputes over government decisions.
- Negotiate settlements with government entities: If a government agency is pursuing legal action against you or your business, a lawyer can negotiate settlements to avoid costly litigation.
- Advocate for policy changes: Advising clients on legal strategies for influencing public policy, including lobbying and drafting legislation.
- Litigate constitutional issues: Handling cases related to the Constitution, such as First Amendment rights, due process violations, or unlawful government actions.
How Are Government Lawyers Paid?
Government lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the nature of the legal work involved. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rate: For ongoing legal matters, such as regulatory compliance or government contract disputes, lawyers may charge by the hour. Hourly rates can vary depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Flat fee: For specific services, such as drafting a government contract or filing an administrative appeal, some lawyers charge a flat fee.
- Retainer: For clients who need ongoing legal support, such as businesses frequently interacting with government agencies, a lawyer may charge a retainer fee. This is an upfront payment that covers future legal services.
- Contingency fee: In some cases involving litigation, such as civil rights violations, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case.
It’s important to discuss fee structures with your lawyer during the initial consultation to avoid surprises.
How Much Does a Government Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a government lawyer depends on the complexity of the legal issue, the lawyer's experience, and their fee structure. Here are some general cost estimates:
- Hourly rates: Government lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
- Flat fees: For specific legal services, such as drafting a government contract, flat fees can range from $1,000 to $5,000, depending on the nature of the service.
- Retainer fees: A retainer for ongoing legal work with government agencies can range from $5,000 to $20,000 or more, depending on the scope and frequency of the work.
- Contingency fees: In cases where a lawyer works on contingency, their fee is usually a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or damages awarded if the case is successful.
Be sure to get a clear estimate of costs during your consultation to ensure that you understand the fees associated with your case.
Top Questions to Ask a Government Lawyer
When hiring a government lawyer, it’s essential to ask the right questions to ensure they have the experience and skills needed for your specific situation. Key questions to ask include:
-
What is your experience with government law cases?
Make sure the lawyer has substantial experience in handling cases or issues involving government agencies, regulatory compliance, or constitutional law. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services - whether by the hour, flat fee, retainer, or contingency fee - and request an estimate of costs. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your legal options and the likelihood of success based on your specific situation. -
How do you handle interactions with government agencies?
Ask about their approach to dealing with government entities and their experience with specific agencies relevant to your case (e.g., IRS, EPA, SEC). -
Have you handled cases like mine before?
Ask about their experience with similar cases and whether they have achieved favorable outcomes in the past. -
Who will handle my case?
Clarify whether the lawyer you are meeting with will personally handle your case or whether junior attorneys or paralegals will do most of the work.
How to Check the Credibility of a Government Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a reputable government lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Review their professional experience: Look for specific experience in government-related legal issues, such as regulatory compliance, government contracts, or administrative law, on their website or professional profile.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Check online reviews and ratings on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to get insight into the lawyer’s reputation and track record.
- Ask for references: Request references from previous clients who have worked with the lawyer on government-related matters to understand their experience and effectiveness.
- Check for membership in relevant organizations: Look for memberships in professional organizations such as the American Bar Association's Administrative Law Section or the National Institute of Government Procurement, which can indicate the lawyer’s focus on government law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with a government lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant information and documents. Here’s what you should bring:
- Detailed description of your legal issue: Be prepared to explain your situation, whether it’s a regulatory compliance question, a government contract issue, or a dispute with a government agency.
- Relevant documents: Bring any paperwork related to your case, such as contracts, permits, letters from government agencies, or notices of investigation.
- A list of questions: Write down any questions you have about your case, including the legal process, potential outcomes, and costs.
- Timeline of events: Provide a clear timeline of any relevant events, such as the issuance of government orders or interactions with government agencies.
- Goals for the outcome: Be ready to discuss what you hope to achieve, whether it’s a favorable settlement, regulatory compliance, or overturning a government decision.
By being organized and prepared, you can help your lawyer understand your situation more quickly and give you the best legal advice moving forward.
