I am blown away by Rima's knowledge and helpfulness. She did more for me than I could have ever asked and explained everything along the way. She performed background checks, went over my contract several times, came up with timelines, and gave me recommendations on next steps in my legal process. I cannot thank her enough.

Scott was so great to work with. I received a dui while I was visiting California from Nevada and he was able to get everything handled for me with me being out of state through the whole process. He also was able to get my dui dropped down to a wet and reckless which was so amazing. If you live in the central coast area I definitely recommend Scott!!

I contacted Scott after a through search for help in my DUI case. Passionately, he helped me very much with making me calm at the beginning, since I was confident that I’m in good hands, now! Patiently, he took my case all the way with as much as possible good results. Scott discussed various options all through the process and provided me with his recommendation when I asked him for. With high level of legal knowledge and experience, I did observe, that he tried any way for my case to end with best ending. I would definitely not hesitate to ask for his help, again, or recommend him to my family, friends or anybody who needs legal help.

Ms. Bumer represented my brother @ parole hearing this year 2022. At CSP RJ Donovan in San Diego. With a great attitude in these types of cases. Liz most definitely provides complete preparation for the process in which the GRANT FOR PAROLE WAS GRANTED. IN THIS CASE MY BROTHER WAS DOING A LIFE SENTENCE.

My experience with Liz Bumer has been exceptional. She is very thorough and spends a lot of time researching and reviewing, as any counselor should. While working on one of my family member's case, she was offended by the ignorance and unfair treatment a commissioner giving my brother. Liz immediately took action. She notified us every single step of the way. She is determined to do the right thing and does not hold back. With a fighter like Liz in our corner we are sure to be successful. I appreciate her willingness to send after hours messages to me about the case Liz keeps me informed as soon as she knows anything more. I feel more transparency to the case when I deal with Liz, she fights for what is right and just. Due to her diligence and research, she comes into court prepared. She has a level head and a sound mind. Her professionalism and respect far exceed many of her colleagues. Her compassionate approach to her caseload is noble and commendable. I wish we made more people like Liz; fighting for the rights of people who need it.

Our eviction case pushed Curt & his co-counsel team to their limits in every way, & they pulled through w/ flying colors. Our case, while practically over in our favor, instead of being a normally 1 month long UD, still lingers on after ~8 months not because of Curt, but because our opponent was ruled to be one of the most mean/obstructive Landlord attorneys out there, w/ over 20 years experience, & have an endless dirty playbook they launch against tenants which puts them at the top of the list of infamous, notorious Landlord attorneys- they are also a high volume Landlord side firm w/ HUGE resources & they do everything possible to bury & overwhelm their opponent, to run up costs & force missed response deadlines. For the first 4 mo, just to keep up w/ them, Curt had to dedicate his complete resources to our case (virtually shutting down his legal practice). Curt was able to get each of their mean legal tactic stricken down, & then, icing on the cake, got the judge to slap them w/ one of the largest (if not the largest) sanctions (penalties, like contempt of court) ever for their mean/obstructive behavior. Judges almost never give much sanctions, so Curt (& team) winning us that monster one was no small feat.
I was present at many of his most important court motion hearings in our case, and closely read through the endless court hearing and deposition transcripts, digesting his responses, counter arguments, & lines of questioning. I could go on endlessly about all the twists & turns that he had to overcome, but suffice it to say that given our case has pushed all the boundaries of UD law/process, he has demonstrated himself to me to be an extremely competent, legally knowledgeable, adept, tenacious, & caring lawyer (& person). He has great instincts w/ the SF civil Judges, depositions, and real-time litigation strategy. W/ Judges, he’s actually very respectful, takes allot of abuse, rides the line to stay on their good side and builds a solid history and rapport. In depos, he’s got amazing instincts.
His instincts to discover criminal/foul play in physical evidence were also very impressive. I was also amazed at how he can dig into and own all the endless facts of our extremely complex case. Most all other attorneys would just gloss it over, and ignore/miss key (even hidden) evidence.
He also great on client communications stuff, and is very open to client input & guidance when helpful, yet is always polite and frank when it is not. He is extremely respectful, and has almost zero ego/elitist trips of most lawyers. No games or angles… he’s a strait shooter!
He knows his court procedure pretty well, and is a tenacious fighter. When it comes to fighting the most notorious landlord firms, he only takes clients that are willing (and able) to go all the way to jury trial, and we wanted a firm that had effectively scrapped w/ them before, and could handle jury trial. I had interviewed literally dozens of top notch attorneys (most billing $300 - $450/hr, and many were obvious rip offs, looking to take as much $ as possible, and don’t care about results), and even the most experienced in SF UD cases (e.g., 15-20+ yrs exp) had only gone to jury trial once, and the rest had no jury trial experience, just doing some bench trials, which is no good for the bogus nuisance UD case maliciously slapped on us. He has close co-counsel associates who fill in gaps where his is practice not as strong. In our case, he teamed up w/ Marc Branco to shore up UD law practice. So, that combined w/ his jury trial experience (and their hunger to kick their butt), is what sold me on their ‘dynamic duo’ to go up against them. His criminal law experience was very pertinent to our very (fact driven) nuisance UD case, and he’s adept at picking apart (hostile) witnesses an triangulating to converge on favorable facts to the case.
So, in sum, I can vouch that Curt (& team) are very competent re UD legal practice, highly ethical, they get results.

Brandie has been extremely patient and professional with me. I was/am scared as when you hire an attorney this means things are not under control in your world. Brandie put me at ease with her expertise and knowledge in her field. The best part of this whole nightmare I've gone through to date was meeting Brandie. What a joy she is, so down to earth so sweet. All my fears flew out the window once in her presence. We are due before the judge again very soon with my fears there, but at total ease knowing Brandie will be by my side. She's incredible with her knowledge and professionalism. If your in need of an attorney she's definitely the one.

Marshall law firm is the best. I want to thank him again. I don't think his clients are just another case to him. When I read his demand letter I had to thank him for listening to me. He not only represented me throughout the matter. He was available to answer questions I had along the way. I'm grateful that Chuck Marshall is on my side. My matter was settled before the real damage was done. I purchased a BMW Thinking they would use my capital one. “ Never do what I did, That is leaving with the car without ever seeing the contract”. Until Chuck Marshall represented me the dealership treated me and this matter like a joke.
THANK YOU CHUCK MARSHALL

Kathleen is knowledgeable and brilliant attorney as well as an amazing and kind-hearted person. She understands how hard it can be for nurses who are facing challenging/difficult times during their careers especially with this ongoing pandemic. She handled my case with ease, where you felt as if she were saying "Don't worry, I got this!" and meant it. She had excellent communication with me and followed up with each aspect of my situation since day one to make sure she would produce a positive and fruitful outcome. Would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you to Attorney Kathleen and her team!

I sought guidance on how to proceed on my own behalf. Ms. Reynolds understood how much time would be needed to advise me and sent a list of documents I needed to provide in advance of our 1.5 hour consultation. She was on-time, thoroughly prepared and knowledgeable on every aspect of the situation. She asked clear, precise questions to be sure I communicated everything necessary for her to formulate her advice, which was specific and explained in detail. I am now awaiting responses to the communications I sent out to see how the situation resolves. I am hopeful of the outcome.

If you are looking for a good attorney and want one you can trust look no further. We have a local business and Mathew Harris has helped us with a few cases we were involved in. Mathew communicates thoroughly throughout the process, is very knowledgeable and his pricing is more than fair. Needless to say he has prevailed in these cases and could not be happier with the results he produces. Do yourself a favor and call Mathew first, you will save yourself alot of time, money and headaches you might get with other firms. We could not be happier, we give him 6 stars out of five !

After charging with a DUI, I searched for a lawyer that I can trust and rely on to defend me. I stumble on the Anthony Marcus Law Firm on Yelp. I was really amazed with the good reviews I was reading about attorney Marcus. I then went to other links that show more outstanding reviews. I, there and then decided to contact him, the reviews were really accurate, he was friendly, patient and explained all the steps of navigating the court regarding my case. I meet with him afterward. Immediately, I observed his confident and his knowledge of the law. He truly changed my anxiety to calmness. Not only he did what he said he will do, he is affordable. He gave me a discount after he initially gave me a good price compare to other attorneys’ quotes. When he appeared in court, Mr. Marcus immediately communicated with the DA and the court and got me a good deal from the court with no jail time even though my case involved property damages to others. I recommend him to my friend and he also was very accommodating. I highly recommend this honest and genuine lawyer to anyone in need of effective representation.

MR. MARCUS DISMISSED MY CASE AFTER 20 MINUTES WITH DA NEGOTIATION
Let me start by saying that Mr. Marcus saved my life. I was falsely accused and charged with misdemeanor (Battery). I had hired 2 different attorneys and none of them helped me to prove my innocence.
God lead me to Mr. Marcus and he immediately accepted my case. I knew that it was one of the best decisions I have ever made! I was feeling like my world was falling apart, he helped me regain a sense of peace and he was always there for me, he treated me like family and made me feel secure.
Mr. Marcus has a firm understanding of the law and how the system works.
He is very knowledgeable in his profession. He was entirely compassionate during this difficult time. Mr. Marcus is truly a lawyer you can count on, I can definitely say that he is an exceptional attorney, who goes above and beyond for his clients. He is professional, trustworthy, and extremely diligent.
Mr. Marcus is the epitome of what you call a "GENTLEMAN Lawyer." He is the perfect balance of kindness, professionalism and humanity at its finest. He advocates for me with veracity, truth and an untiring meticulousness to doing the BEST work for me.
Mr. Marcus sees not just me, but he also SEES the family/loved ones that stand behind the accused... he advocates compassionately and UNTIRINGLY for ALL parties affected by tragic events. And, has the wisdom to work diplomatically and firmly with the opposing party. There is a RESPECT that emanates and is INNATE to Attorney Anthony Marcus. In a world gone mad and blinded by the darkness of humanity, HE is the beacon of hope, respect and humanity for all. If you are looking for exceptional representation I would totally recommend this real man. I would recommend Mr. Marcus to any and everyone! His prices are reasonable and he will fight for you.
MR. MARCUS DISMISSED MY CASE AFTER 20 MINUTES WITH DA NEGOTIATION.
He stayed true to his word and got my entire case dismissed for about a year I was really stressed couldn't really live life thinking the worst.
Thank you Mr. Marcus for your unwavering dedication to my cause. You are "An Angel in disguise." You are BLESSING. And, I assure you, that we will pay your infinite kindness FORWARD. Thank you & God bless you to keep fighting the good fight.
I’m eternally grateful

Jacqueline was my appointed public defender/attorney by the Superior court of Rancho Cucamonga. I had was charged with violating probation and failure to complete classes , fine , and my outstanding jail time on a previous DUI violation. She actually took the time to go over the details of my case in person and also showed extreme empathy for what I was going through personally .. Jacqueline was able to convey all my positive attributes and actions taken to satisfy my requirements with the court. The Judge reviewed and verified the actions that I took to remedy my outstanding requirements to the court, and ruled my case as fulfilled and completed. I saved approxx 2 k in fines, approx 30 days of weekends jail time, and 2 years probation! I thank you Jacqueline for all your hard work and efforts !

At the capacity of Public Defender, they are commonly referred to as Public Pretenders. With that said, I was apprehensive and did not expect anything except the normal going through the motions for the paycheck. Miss Burgos went above the call of duty and was ready to fight for me all the way to trial. She stuck with my innocence until proven guilty. I was not found guilty nor railroaded with a sham deal. I walked out of the case without a bruise. I would hire her on a heartbeat. She practices law as an experienced top notch lawyer. Extraordinary.

Richard A. Gutstadt, P.C. and team were wonderful and extremely experienced!
SSA’s letter letting me know I had to appeal by a certain date never made it to me. I found myself frantically calling around with only hours to my deadline. I spoke with a few attorney’s and they all said my case would be too difficult to win. Thank God I found this firm, Richard courageously took my case and was literally in contact with SSA that same day filing my request for an appeal.
Richard and his team (Brenda and Eric) were compassionate and re-assuring through the entire process. He and his team did all the heavy lifting and WON my case without a hitch!!!
The team’s preparedness and communication are impeccable. Prior to my hearing with the judge, I was presented with the points of discussion and a brief review of how things could potentially go. The day of the hearing, they were on point and had a good rapport with the judge.
The response time has always been great, even after winning my case a few things came up and Richard has gladly taken the extra time and helped.
I highly recommend Richard A. Gutstadt, P.C. and his firm.

Richard and Eric have been absolutely phenomenal to work with on my disability case. I had a complex case and was struggling with my appeal when I came to them. They made themselves available to truly understand the intricacies of my case and also to make sure I was educated on the very complex intricacies of disability law and guidelines. The representation I received was absolutely best in class. I am so thankful I found them and that they took my case. Winning my appeal will literally mean the difference between being able to stay in my home or not. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with them as individual lawyers and a firm as a whole.

I had a problem in which damage and financial misuse was done by others while working on a very expensive personal item of mine.
Sage Sepahi was the only one that I spoke with that had a concise plan of how to litigate and navigate the many tiers of civil litigation and negotiations. I was upset from the situation when Sage & I first met, yet his communication and plan gave me confidence to use him as my Attorney. His strategy and progress made for a complete and rewarding outcome in a relatively period of short time. Thank you, Mr Sepahi

My experience with Mr. Khan and his firm was very recent. Before speaking with him, I reached out to numerous attorneys and my previous attorney was of no help. I'd lost all hope and thought that my life was going to go in a horrible direction. And then I reached out to Foglight Law. Mr. Khan dealt with me in a straightforward, non-pretentious and down to earth way. Also, he handled my case with flying stars and thanks to his intervention and advocacy, I can say that I am in a far far far better economic position. He is brilliant, honest, ethical and carries a strong sense of justice. When it comes to attorneys, he has surpassed all my expectations. If you need an attorney, I highly recommend
T. Khan at Foglight Law. He is the absolute BEST!
Thank you so very much, Mr. Khan.

Victor was a tremendous help. After my car accident, I initially felt overwhelmed and reluctant to deal with anything related to the incident, anticipating it to be a hassle. However, once I mustered up the confidence to reach out to Victor and put in some effort, it became evident that he would be able to assist me—and he truly did. Although the process was somewhat lengthy, Victor consistently excelled in providing timely updates throughout the case. I definitely would recommend Victor to anyone who needs him.

I cannot express my gratitude enough to Victor and his team. They truly went above and beyond to help me with a case that was far from easy to prove. Their dedication, expertise, and unwavering commitment to my case were remarkable.
From the initial consultation, Victor and his team took the time to thoroughly understand the complexities of my situation. They provided me with clear guidance on the potential outcomes and a realistic assessment of my situation, which helped me make informed decisions throughout the process.
What impressed me the most was their tireless advocacy on my behalf. Victor and his team left no stone unturned, conducted meticulous research, and navigated through the legal intricacies with finesse. They handled everything with determination and professionalism, even when all seem hopeless.
I'm thrilled to say that their hard work paid off, and I received compensation that I never thought possible. This outcome was a testament to Victor and his team's expertise and their ability to handle challenging cases.
Moreover, the communication throughout the entire process was exceptional. They kept me informed at every step, promptly answered my questions, and eased my anxieties. I felt supported and empowered throughout the journey.
If you're in need of legal representation and are facing a complex or challenging situation, I wholeheartedly recommend Victor. They are a dedicated team of legal experts who will fight with passion, skill, and unwavering commitment.

I was faced with a situation where my neighbor had unjustly built a structure encroaching on my property which jeopardized my property. I consulted with a prominent real estate attorney who told me that I had to incur 3 years of legal battles as well as around $100,000.00 of expenses with no certain positive outcome.
I was very much devastated, sad and desperate since I thought that common sense and justice should not put me in such a dilemma.
Luckily, a friend recommended Valerie to me and I immediately contacted her. She was very understanding, knowledgable and set immediately to remedy the situation to my advantage. She came to my property, inspected it and got first hand information about the situation. She set a date to meet the neighbors and came fully prepared with all kinds of documents that forced the opposing party to agree to demolish the encroaching structure to my full satisfaction.
Without Valerie's help I would have not accomplished this goal.
I am very grateful to have Valerie as my attorney.
I highly recommend her for any issues regarding real estate law and property disputes. She is a real Hero.

Valerie helped us obtain entitlements for a 53-unit affordable housing development in the City of Los Angeles. We were very pleased that her fee did not surpass her proposal. She was very responsive and thorough in her work. We will definitely use her again for our next development.

Valerie gave us excellent advice and represented our case forcefully and effectively. She dug into the records, suggested we mobilize the neighbors to sign a petition and argued persuasively before the hearing officer. We'd recommend her without hesitation.

We couldn't commend the expertise of Kantor & Kantor more. Zoya, who won our appeal with great success, is a dedicated, detail-oriented professional who stays on top of all areas of your case while compassionately communicating next steps and outcomes. We were so grateful to have her on our team, and because of her clear expertise, excellent handle of the written word, and dedication to this important work, felt confident in what was/is otherwise a scary time. It is disorienting to manage the onset of a debilitating illness while in need of a complex appeal. Her detailed intervention with obvious legal stealth, was essential.

I was diagnosed with a devastating degenerative neurological illness that has grave impacts on all life areas. Per doctor instructions I left the workplace that I once thrived in until my talents began to deteriorate at the hands of this rare and poorly understood neurological disease. In the midst of this devastation, my insurance company flatly ended my disbursements. Knowing affirmatively this was unjust, I consulted Zoya and her supervising partner. They applied great skill, roadmapping, and knowledge of the law to ensure this was an unjust event. She handled my appeal with great detail and legal prowess.
I believe the work performed exhibits top talent. Highly recommend for others who feel abandoned by insurance claim coverage without justice.

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.
