I had been suffering in pain for over two years and also denied social security disability twice before hiring Mr. Freeman. He was knowledgeable, upfront, honest and to the point as to how things would go moving forward with him. Just when I thought I'd never get my disability approved, Mr. Feeman made sure I got it. He is awesome at what he does. If your looking for representation look no further.

If you're dealing with a disability issue and need a lawyer to help you get your Social Security benefits, your best bet is to contact Mr. Freeman and retain him as your lawyer, he's absolutely the best. My husband passed away last July and in addition to the immense sadness I was going through, I was also at a loss of what I would be able to do, and if I could receive windows disability social security. I'm disabled and have never dealt with applying for SSD because I had heard so many bad stories about people losing their cases after years of trying, but with my husband gone I had no means to support myself financially and decided that I'd better get a lawyer and just hope for the best. I decided to retain Mr. Freeman and am forever grateful that I did, because rather than just hoping for the best, I got the best!! In addition to being a wonderful lawyer, Mr. Freeman is also a wonderful person. He took my case and was available for me anytime I had a question or was confused about the paperwork that Social Security needed me to fill out. I recall that at one point, after I had already sent Social Security copies of my marriage certificate, they sent me a letter of denial for my widows disability case, saying that my husband and I were never married. I called Mr Freeman in tears, not only had I just lost my husband of 23 years, but now they're saying that we weren't married!! Mr. Freeman calmed me down and said he'd take care of it, which he did. I have never in my life had to deal with a lawyer, and never needed one as much as I did during this terrible time in my life, like I stated before, he's the best!! I'm so thankful that Mr. Freeman was my lawyer, fighting for me to receive the benefits I was entitled to, and ultimately winning my case for me. The paperwork and proof about my disability, that he submitted to the Judge showed how thorough Mr. Freeman is at his job. The day before my hearing, the Judge called Mr. Freeman and said there would be no need for the hearing, that all of the paperwork and evidence for my disability case was perfect and I was granted a full favorable decision regarding my widows disability case. Due to the Covid situation, I never had the chance to see Mr Freeman in person, but if given the chance, I would of wanted to give him a giant hug of gratitude. Thank you Mr. Freeman, Mrs. Freeman and your team of experts, I don't know what I would do without having you on my side. May God bless all of you.

Stephen Freeman helped me file my disability case quickly and with total transparency. I was able to win my case and I definitely recommend Freeman and Freeman to anyone looking for very considerate and thorough help with their social security cases.

We were having trouble from a previous land lord. My husband found this lawyer and randomly called and she answered. She asked questions and ask for information to be sent. Oh my goodness she is the best Lawyer i would highly recommend her to anyone having trouble with a land lord. I cannot stop singing her praises.

Debi saved by situation. I called 20 lawyers and her office is the only that picked up. Within a couple of days, she learned about the case and prepared all documents. It was a very difficult and urgent case, but Debi solved it very quickly and very efficiently. Hiring her was the best decision that also saved many nights of good sleep.

Mr. Youngner’s services are exceedingly professional, expert and effective. My case involved delicate interaction with local and higher Headquarters military authorities and necessitated an insightful and experienced understanding of U.S.Code and Military Law and the nuanced application of each. In all, Mr. Youngner's level of expertise and communication skills were direct, insightful and complete, enabling optimum case resolution. I simply cannot compliment Mr. Youngner enough for all his truly exceptional work, completed on my behalf, including responding to an urgent legal matter during his personal time off. His ongoing case management was always complete; and at the same time, his client interaction was always courteous and personable. His knowledge of the subject matter and grasp of my case’s impacts also enabled max effectiveness in dealing with all related authorities. The support staff at Tully Rinckey is as well warm, competent and professional (especially his assistant Ms Sherry Holland). Tully Rinckey PLLC is a superb law firm and Mr. Youngner is in particular, an outstanding civilian, military attorney.

I had been seeking justice for many years on my own, but it was to no avail due to the tangled administrative and military laws and lack of support. I finally found Larry at what felt like the last hour, because I couldn't fight anymore. Larry heard me, and not only believed in my case, but he believed in me and the cause. It was an intense case and after all these years of hardship and trauma I was finally made whole and it is absolutely attributed to the in-depth expertise, unique approach, and genuineness of Larry. He spoke the truth in the most honorable and strategic manner and the military finally heard me, because Larry stood up for what was just. I couldn't believe it, but I received a positive outcome in less than 4 weeks after the military board heard my case through Larry. For any individual seeking justice, through not just a lawyer, but through someone who is actually compassionate, straightforward, positive, and fully vested in you, then look no further. Larry is a rare lawyer, because he is first a human and he invests everything he has and more to support you first, and the rest will follow.

05 Oct, 2019 by William

In my opinion, Mr. Youngner is a very sharp attorney and advocate. He communicates clearly (and is available). After reviewing my case, Mr. Youngner found more than two additional points of noncompliance by the offending department in my appeal for correction. Mr. Youngner and his team kept me informed of the status of my case at regular intervals. He sets reasonable expectations and meets them. Dealing with a large and impersonal bureaucracy, a person needs an advocate as effective as Mr. Youngner. I highly recommend Mr. Youngner.

I reached out to Bilecki Law Group initially for help putting together a GOMOR rebuttal. Tim and Ben immediately got to work putting everything together and helping to prepare for all possible outcomes. The rebuttal was very effective pointing out evidence that was entirely false, so effective in fact that it was removed and the initial GOMOR was taken away and later re-imposed with a new evidence packet. Ben Gold's writing and laying out of facts is second to none, clear, concise and very persuasive. Fast forward a few months and unfortunately the GOMOR was still permanently filed (as is often the case in these situations). My Command initiated an involuntary separation and Board of Inquiry (BOI). Tim and Ben were still on board and anxious to aggressively litigate my case at the BOI. Keep in mind you are bringing on board a highly experienced team when you retain Bilecki Law Group. This is not an firm you simply pay to make your problems go away (I'm fairly certain those do not exist). You will have to be an integral part of this team if you want the best outcome for your case. Tim and Ben understand this and it can clearly be seen in their detailed preparations with you for your case. Through our prep. we mapped out my career and many contributions to the military and came up with a clear strategy to obtain our objectives for the board. The findings were exactly as we had planned and prepped for and Ben's GOMOR rebuttal was referenced as a key piece of factual evidence in the board's findings. Unhappy with the BOI outcome my Command tried to re-litigate the same allegations, this time by using Flying Evaluation Board (FEB). Tim once again was fully prepared. The board had a favorable outcome and was an amazing win for our team. His detailed knowledge of the regulation and arguments at the board were paramount. This is the best military legal team out there. Throughout the proceedings Tim clearly controlled the tempo and boardroom environment in every room he was in. He was always looked to by all parties as the expert in the room . Even more than the superb legal representation, Tim and Ben are easily approachable in normal conversation, these are guys I enjoy being around and am glad to call them friends. This is an easily overlooked key to developing a successful legal team. They were both reachable for any questions I had throughout the process (even with sometimes hectic schedules). If you want to bring on board a team that will give you an honest assessment and aggressively pursue your case I would recommend reaching out for a consultation. The experience, professionalism and expertise of Bilecki Law Group cannot be overstated.

If you are reading this review, you are likely in serious legal trouble in the military. I am here to tell you that time is not on your side. If you are searching for the best possible attorney to help you in your current situation. Look no further because Tim Bilecki and Ben Gold are the best military attorneys in the market. The best decision I ever made, and we won my case, but either way, from start to finish, I never felt like they took me, my case, or my money for granted. If you are in the military facing the weight of the U.S. Government trying to convict you, do not hesitate to hire this team because you will regret it. Adverse actions while in the military will affect your ability to find work outside of the uniform. There is a good chance you will lose much more regarding your freedom, dignity, military career, and potentially your civilian life outside the military. The consequences can be devastating if you are convicted on a court martial or in a Non-Judicial Punishment (NJP). I have served in the military for almost two decades, and I am here to tell you that the military justice system holds no punches. The government does not care about your career, deployments, or family. They want to get a conviction at all costs, regardless of the truth. I am very thankful to Tim and Ben, a group of professionals who fought a good fight…there is no doubt that without their knowledge of the military court system and the law, I would not be here today. I cannot say enough about this team. They have excellent and timely customer service, positive attitudes, excellent communicators, and the ultimate professionals in person and across their digital platforms. If you are looking for a winning team focused on quality, not quantity – this is your team. The hardest part about finding a lawyer is finding a good lawyer. Tim and Ben bring so much more than I have ever imagined. If you want the best representation, then hire this team today!

1st you are or want to get married start saving money to hire Tim Bilecki as you never know. If you need someone to defend you, Tim Bilecki is worth his weight in gold&then some! Divorce can get nasty&society now works that even a crazy false/weak allegation from any woman will turn your life upside down or ruin it especially in the military. You will be negatively flagged&kiss any promotion, awards&re-enlistment goodbye! The military backed by the full force of U.S. Government has unlimited funds&You'll be marked guilty until proven innocent&even your leadership will ostracize you! 2nd NEVER talk to anyone without talking to an attorney FIRST. It's a hard lesson I learned! Law enforcement, CID, NCIS, etc. are allowed to lie to you&say what you want to hear to get you to make statements&Everything you say will be twisted&used against you! Thank God Mr. Tim Bilecki saw through the lies. of the alleged victim&her flip mafia best friends "witnesses" &exposed their lies! Mr. Tim Bilecki, his associate Mr. Ben Gold&my military TDS attorney Captain Brian Tracy are the very best at what they do-Military Law. They honestly care&worked their butts off all day into late nights slept at office&even skipped meals on my case to develop strategies, evidence, cross-examinations&so on! My case was complex&prosecution painted me as a monster&used every dirty trick on the book, the alleged victim flat out lied&many of her witnesses completely perjured themselves throughout the trial under oath! But with Ben Gold's hard research, Brian Tracy's technical knowledge of the law& Tim Bilecki's amazing communication skills was able to separate truth from the lies. Tim is the Ringmaster of the trial&was able to convince the Jury! Tim Bilecki's masterful opening which at least lasted an hour set the foundation for the jury to consider the possibility that the alleged victim was a liar. Tim exposed her con of pretending to be a small scared victim to jury seeing the real lying, manipulating, stone cold hearted woman that she is in real time! Tim the Shredder cross-examined the dog poop out of the alleged victim&her paramour for hours! Tim exposed the inconsistent lies&pointed out evidence against her story&alleged victim's witnesses all full of lies trying to cover up for alleged victim also got shredded by Tim&perjured themselves! Tim's superb closing argument lasted over 1 1/2 hour&he 1st made dang sure the jury completely understood their job: That the accused is 100% innocent until proven guilty by the U.S. Govt& that the jury understood exactly the meaning of allegations&other definitions of things like "beyond reasonable doubt" &other special legal instructions. Tim was the Ringmaster on closing arguments. He laid out facts, told the real story as he had been there himself with passionate argument, confidence&charisma! Tim made the jury fully embrace that in fact I was innocent until proven guilty&the very high burden was on the U.S. Govt until otherwise&was not our job to prove my innocence or why she lied! Tim exposed the alleged victim&her witnesses lies&called them out in court as complete liars, charlatans&nothing but theater! Prosecution tried to twist everything&get to the jury with an emotional argument&completely ignoring facts! Tim plowed thru all the lies &jury saw the truth! It was an incredibly scary situation being court-martialed&it will make you feel like crap but honestly you gotta put your full faith on Tim Bilecki &follow his advice 110% Most important of all bite the bullet&hire Mr. Tim Bilecki the sooner the better it's an investment that will repay itself many times! Trust me Tim knows his Craft of Law way more than you ever will& Tim will do the best humanly possible to get you the best possible outcome! after 2 years of investigation, 4 long days of trial& 4 hours of deliberation the jury Thankfully concluded in my case: Not guilty of all charges&specifications! All thanks to Tim Bilecki, Ben Gold&Capt Brian Tracey

I fought for years on my own against the VA for benefits I earned. It was a fight I was very much so losing. I found Bosley and Bratch just by chance and lucky again I got assigned to Senior Attorney Chris Boudi. He did fantastic work across the board, everything you want in an attorney to fight the VA for your benefits!! I got so lucky being assigned to this guy who got me 90% disability and 100% individual unemployability. If you want to get your benefits and have peace of mind go to Bosley and Bratch and find Senior Attorney Chris Boudi he'll win your case.

10 Mar, 2022 by Eddie

Bosley and Bratch are true professionals who assisted me with going from 0% to 100% total and permanent. I had been trying for years to get multiple service connected disabilities rated higher on my own. Upon hiring Bosley and Bratch I am now 100%. Amber Burney, Ken Crandall and Chris Boudi should be commended for a job well done that was accomplished because of their hard work !!!

12 Feb, 2022 by Kenneth

I was in the 1st Sand Box War (1991) and after coming home, got really sick. I fought with the VA Benefits people for 29 plus years to no avail. I had almost given up, but a friend in Chicago recommended Bosley & Bratch. I called and was connected with Brandy who was assigned as my case manager, Ken, who helped get me ready for C&P exam & Chris as my lawyer. They immediately started working on my case and made things happen. In spite of being on the opposite sides of the US (I live in the Pacific Northwest), communicating back & forth was easy. After 30 years of nothing they got me to 100%+ (P&T) in a matter of 3 months. I can not say "THANK YOU ALL" enough and if I could rate Brandy, Ken, & Chris as a "10 STAR GOLD" that would not be enough to show my appreciation for their commitment to helping me get my VA Benefits.

My case has been ongoing since 2010. I was finally granted a higher VA rating for my injuries in 2018 after years of appeals back and forth. I saw some negative reviews so I felt compelled to now defend them. I owe Ken and his team a debt of gratitude for all the help they've given me. The least that I could do was to mention the great work that his team has done for my case. I can easily recommend Lavan & Neidenberg Law Firm to anyone who needs someone in their corner to guide them through the VA disability process.

I spoke Att Lavan in Feb. I had already sent him all my info. He said we'll take care of you!! A week or so later I got a later from an adjudicator.the contact he put me in touch with told me exactly what needed to do. To shorten and go straight to a satisfactory conclusion, I received. My DDSI award in April. So grateful to Kenneth Lewis Lavan!!!! Now can I get a referral for a bankruptcy attorney plz!@@

Although it takes awhile to be scheduled for a hearing before an Administrative Judge...it is no fault of the Law Firm...but due to the back log of the Social Security System....but I must say I was very pleased with my Case Developer Betsy Joseph...who returned all my calls and kept my case updated and let me know what I needed to do...she was just an all around nice person..(she is a keeper)...also my Attorney, Ms. Amy Shenstone was very knowledgeable about my case and had all the necessary paperwork available for my hearing...because of these two people it made this frustrating, long process bearable...hats off to a job well done..(please let these two people mentioned know that I am grateful for all that was done. ( It's because of them that my case was a success)..Thanks again for your services...

I cannot speak highly enough of Attorney Adrian Middleton and the exceptional team at Sword & Shield Law Firm. Mr. Middleton represented my daughter at a moments notice and achieved an amazing outcome by having all charges against her dismissed. By arguing the moving party had no probable cause. Not only did he skillfully navigate the complexities of the legal system, but he also showed genuine compassion and support for our family during a challenging time. What truly sets Attorney Middleton apart is his commitment beyond the courtroom. Even after the case was resolved, he continued to ensure that we had all the necessary resources and support we needed. His dedication to his clients goes beyond expectations. I highly recommend Attorney Adrian Middleton and the Sword & Shield Law Firm to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation. Their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care make them an outstanding choice for legal services.

Adrian did what he said he would do for me. I was happy and he was prepared for my case and every time we were in court. I was impressed by his appearance and by the way he handled himself in court. The judge seemed to respond well to his requests and my case was resolved favorably. I would definitely recommend his services. I saw people in the court getting much worse outcomes with good attorneys so I think it has to do with your case facts for your case. I am happy with him.

In addition to their legal acumen, he was always approachable and communicative, ensuring that I was informed and reassured at every step. Their professionalism and empathy provided immense comfort during a very difficult time.

We're glad we found Atty. Leduc. My son's case would have been dumped into the deep without any chance of seeing the light. The initial lawyer we hired is just interested of what he gains. Atty.

I've had the pleasure of working with Cory Strolla on a few legal matters over the past couple of years, including one that is currently ongoing. I am extremely impressed with Cory's skills as a lawyer and I have benefited tremendously because of his legal expertise and advice. Cory is extremely knowledgeable in criminal and civil law. I am currently involved in a highly contested civil litigation case. Cory has done a tremendous job helping me navigate this challenging situation and the advice & expertise he provided were crucial in helping me secure a victory at a recent emergency motion hearing. His fees are very fair for the service he provides. He is extremely accessible, too. I have exchanged messages about my situations with Cory at all times of the day and night. There have been multiple occasions where I've messaged Cory questions near midnight and he has responded within a matter of minutes. I couldn't ask for a better lawyer and highly recommend his services to anybody in need of HIGH QUALITY, HONEST LEGAL REPRESENTATION AT A FAIR PRICE! Trust me, you'll be in good hands and you'll be grateful for hiring him to help address your legal issues.

After being turned down by the V.A numerous times, I called Matthew Hill to represent me and took the case all the way up the latter to appeal article #9 and we were successful ..I did not have boots on the ground in vietnam but that did not matter..Matthue made history that day, So if you want a lawyer that will fight for you, He's your man ..thank you matthue for all that you did for me.Mr.Ariel

From day one Mr. Hill and his staff made me feel that I was not just a number, but a person they could help. The professionalism that he and his staff showed was beyond excellent. They made it a point to keep me updated so I always knew what the status was at all times. It did take several years to finish my case, but it was not the fault of Mr. Hill or of his staff. I would get copies of emails sent to VA saying that their response is past the required reply date, which showed me he was always on top of everything. Mr. Hill even went so far as to call me (email not available) when I was in CA to make sure I was informed of the status of my case. Because of him and his staffs professionalism, and their attitudes I have recommended them to numerous veterans that I have met who thought they were at a dead-end and were not getting any real knowledgeable help. I will end on this note: Mr. Hill and his staff were friendly, helpful, very professional, and I have & will continue to talk about them in a positive manner with a very high recommendation. To Mr. Hill and your staff; Thank you very much for all you did!

Henry Rubinstein has been in my life for over 36 years. He has been my Doctor when needed as I was in a very bad way from a injury and I would travel from my home in Northbrook, Illinois to Kendall Florida to be treated with dignaty and a great deal of comfort when I suffered a serious Lumbo Sacral Injury and could not get proper care in my home city. I was recommended to Dr. Henry when I vacationed in Miami and had such relief that I would make several trips back to see Dr. Henry for relief. At the present time I am enjoying to see his success helping a number of Physicians who are in difficulty in there practices. This is encouraging for me to see this wonderful man with the knowledge he has been practicing.

Dr. Rubinstein is a great attorney with lots of experience and knowledge in the area of administrative law. I was very anxious and nervous, he was very re-assuring and in the end it all worked out.

Henry was great to work with, he handled everything for me along the way and was very encouraging during the process, which helped to keep the stress down during this cycle. Great job Henry, thank you.

This lady is the bomb! I hired Nancy to address a real estate licensing issue with DBPR. I've consumed a lot of legal fees over the last 35 years (over $5 million) in investment syndication, probate, real estate acquisition & development, hedge fund formation, patent litigation, cross border debt, and international joint ventures. I've never experienced an attorney in any field that was better than Nancy is in her's. HIRE HER.

02 Feb, 2018 by Tyler

NANCY has always made me feel like I’m her ONLY client. Even though I hear her phone(s) ring during every call! I haven’t waited more than 15 minutes for a direct returned phone call from her, EVER. From the initial consultation she has always shown complete professionalism. I can tell she genuinely enjoys helping. She’s handled every matter I’ve thrown to her extremely fast and with the utmost professionalism. I’ve also caught emails from her in the extreme early morning to the late evening to quickly handle issues. Over the past month I’ve grown to trust Nancy as family although we have yet to meet in person. She’s represented me as the title company for my recent home purchase, to review/correct all loan and contract issues, and to protect my rental security deposits rightful return. I live in Cape Coral and was skeptical to hire an attorney so far away, but I assure you not to hesitate because of distance. Your initial consultation will show you exactly what I’m talking about. I have not had much contact with any of her assistants but the times I have they have followed through with letting Nancy know I’ve called and always had an upbeat attitude. During the times when you need an attorney life is usually pretty stressful so a simple voice tone can change your day. The happy receptionist and the affirmative voice of Nancy is worth every dollar spent. LASTLY, Nancy does not know I’m writing this review and I’m receiving no compensation or discount whatsoever from this. This is the FIRST review I’ve ever written online so that should speak for itself. Readers my apologies for my punctuation and possible incorrect format. Thank you Nancy! Stay Strong, Tyler O.

I had the privilege of working with Ms. Campiglia last summer. A group of us homeowners used a go fund me account to hire her for her legal services and it was so refreshing to speak to a lawyer who really knew her stuff. Our initial consultation was eye opening as we learned things about HOA laws and the State of Florida laws that we never knew about. Her advice was spot on and her method to get results was amazing. She is calm, but persistent. She was available almost 24 hours a day for us and didn't try to nickle and dime us with billing for quick responses or questions. It truly was refreshing working with her and if you are having any HOA questions, concerns,or problems, RUN don't walk, RUN to Ms. Campiglia. These HOA issues can get harrowing and stressful on residents, but Ms. Campiglia was the the mature adult in the room who knew the laws and had the answers. Thank you Ms. Campiglia, you exceeded all of our expectations

07 Jun, 2024 by Frankie

Prior to hiring Victoria and her team at Centonzio Law, I was using one of those "popular" veteran companies from social media to handle my case for several claims. After all of my claims were denied, the said company began dragging it's feet on the appeal process. As time was cutting close to the appeal deadline, and not knowing where else to turn to, I began to look somewhere else. I didn't have to look far as Javier Centonzio and I served in the same Marine unit in Iraq. As soon as we talked about the case, Victoria and her team jumped on it and filed the appeal prior to the deadline. Their dedication and attention to detail is unparalleled. They are compassionate and very knowledgeable about the law. But most importantly, they understand what we went through, can articulate it, and apply it to the law. I highly recommend Victoria and her team. No doubt, they will fight your case!

Victoria Tamayo Seabol, Esq., and her wonderful Paralegal helped my 103-year-old WWII Army Veteran and Liberator father access VA benefits we didn't know he was eligible for, in order to help him maintain his quality of life. For that, we are forever grateful for their diligence, swift and steady pursuit of results, and true caring. The best attorney I've worked with in a long time, and I've worked with many in my former profession as a lobbyist. Highly recommended!

Stefano Portigliatti is a top-notch truck accident attorney. He routinely shares his knowledge and insight with the plaintiff's bar and has become a nationally known and respected attorney in this field. As a fellow plaintiff's attorney, I have benefited from his knowledge and experience and our legal community is better for having him in it. If you are thinking of hiring an attorney for a truck accident or any other kind of personal injury, rest assured, he is one of the best.

Stefano knows personal injury law well. Additionally, he is humble and friendly. I've asked him questions about damages/injuries relating to a negligence claim. I was impressed by his confident answers, and quick response time. I am a personal injury attorney in South Florida.

Mr. Portigliatti is taking my case to trial this week. I am so appreciative that he believed in my case and has taken the time to listen and appreciate all the hurt and harm I suffered in this crash.

Jennifer Dietz help me and my family in a large contract dispute regarding my pets. She worked through the Christmas holidays to help us get our pets back from a kennel that tried to over-bill us for boarding our pets. It was a bait and switch tactic by this unscrupulous kennel/boarding company. Jennifer not only got our pets back but she got the kennel to honor the original contract. She worked very hard and charged half of what other attoneys wanted. We love her!

01 Jan, 2021 by Ann

Without the legal representation of Jennifer Dietz as our counsel, two dogs would have remained languishing in boarding. Her months of dedication to our case and these dogs spoke to her character and integrity. Mrs Dietz fought on our behalf to defend, mitigate & negotiate to reach a settlement between our rescue and a boarding facility that was holding our dogs hostage over a bill that they had padded to the point we could not repay it. Thanks to the settlement agreement Jennifer presented, we now have these two loving dogs back and they were able to receive the vet care that was being withheld. Mrs Dietz has been nothing but genuine, caring, highly responsible and passionate about both animals and the clients she fights so hard for. Our mission is and always has been quite simply to rescue dogs and anyone in need of legal counsel to assist in these efforts, we could not give a stronger recommendation that that of Jennifer Dietz and her firm. She is indeed dedicated to animal protection and backs that up through her actions.

Jennifer assisted me with the legalities of a new business venture. She was knowledgeable and more than fair with her fees. Jennifer is always available for question and not the typical " rush you off the phone" attorney. She checked in on how everything was going with my business-I appreciate that she truly cares. I would highly recommend her legal services.

Hiring Solomon, Maharaj & Kasimati was the smartest decision I made in my legal federal employment law case. At every stage , Mr. Maharaj kept me informed, explained the lengthly process stages, argued on my behalf through well thought out legal substantive facts and equally as important, treated me like a person that mattered and not a number as many large firms sadly do. Mr. Maharaj worked tirelessly on my case, respectfully going toe to toe with the federal government attorneys and proving himself through his dedication to me as his client. While all cases are different, I would suggest the forward thinking legal arguments and attention to detail Mr Maharaj championed on my behalf, were the determining factors that resulted in the positive outcome of my case. I proudly recommend Mr. Maharaj and could not have asked for a more knowledgeable, hard working defender of my rights.

Mr. Maharaj is focused, diligent and caring in your defense and he will win. You have spent your career building your reputation, Don't let a Federal Agency try to tear it down retaliating against your for following or enforcing the law or Policy. After providing significant testimony in response to several independent and agency investigations, the agency retaliated against me. Dan aggressively countered and filed motions and appeals through various Federal Employment adjudication agencies (EEO, OSC & MSPB) The negotiated settlement agreement Mr. Maharaj arranged was better than expected and the agency had to provide significant compensatory damages as well as future employment references and opportunities.

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.

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.
