She is not reliable, miscommunicates & does not give people their money when case has been settled. I am not sure how I she took over my case, but I wouldn't recommend her for any injury case.

I had a paid consultation with Attorney Obiorah. It was the most expensive consultation rate for any firm I contacted regarding this Federal EEO matter. In this consultation, Attorney Obiorah was very pleasant, professional and patient. It was recommended that I amend my Federal EEO claim to add the Failure To Accommodate incidents that resulted in my permanent physical injury, then bring the case back to Attorney Obiorah.
After following Attorney Obiorah’s recommendation, I made numerous attempts telephonically and via email to contact her for an extended period. I never received a response from Attorney Obiorah. I have nothing to add positive or negative about her representation because she never represented me in my legal matter.

I hired Attorney Obiorah for my EEO discrimination case. She is a great listener, knowledgeable, caring and is very understanding and have been considerate of my issues. My case against my Agency is very complex in nature because so much has been done to me over the years; which entailed various components: Sexual Harassment, Hostile Work Environment, Discrimination due to sex and sexual orientation, Retaliation and Reprisal due to reporting security issues, wrongdoing of Management and for me initiating the EEO process. Even after filing my EEO case, the retaliation from my Agency continued to escalate. The Agency began to use my disability as a means to get back at me. I keep Attorney Obiorah abreast on all matters. I do appreciate Attorney Obiorah professionalism with this sensitive matter and her continued hardwork and dedication to my case as we continue to fight for the adequate justice. Her price to retain her services is reasonable and her staff is professional and warming. Thank you for all you do!

I retained Attorney Obiorah to initially handle my EEO claim. I find Attorney Obiorah to be knowledgeable about EEO issues regarding federal government employees. Specifically, the agency discriminated and retaliated against me on the bases of race, disability (parent and self); and violation of the Rehab Act (i.e., reasonable accommodations) . Attorney Oborah ensured all legal orders and matters were responded to within the necessary timeframe. The pleadings she submitted were impressive and relevant to the matters at hand. Given her performance with my EEO claim, I subsequently retained Attorney Obiorah to handle my Whistleblower claim with MSPB. Specifically, the Agency retaliated against me because of protected disclosures (i.e., violation of a rule, law, and regulation; and disclosure of discrimination), harassed, and reprised against me. Attorney Obiorah provided her professional opinion on all angles of my claims to allow me to make the most informed decision. It is comforting to me that Attorney Obiorah is the expert representing me in these legal matters, which can and has been extremely stressful. Attorney Obiorah's rates are reasonable and within market rates. I found the rates for other attorneys were unreasonable. I also felt as though these attorneys wanted 'slam-dunk' cases with little work or effort. Although my claims are still in litigation, I look forward to my continued attorney-client relationship with Attorney Obiorah!

I highly recommend Sara Yeager! She was very knowledgeable, professional and her communication was excellent. Sara made me feel like she truly care about me as an individual, not just another case to come across her desk. I always felt like I had someone in my corner. Sara worked diligently to get the best outcome in my case. She advocated for me in a time in my life where I felt like I was alone. I never felt alone working with Sara. I can’t say enough about how thankful I am to have had the opportunity to work with Sara! By far the best attorney I have ever worked with! Thank you Sara!!

Lawyer displays a clear and un-American affection for the traitorous Confederate states, having their flag in his office. Additionally, his highest profile case so far has been the defense of a white woman who shot and killed an unarmed black man after chasing him with her car following being asked simply to obtain his license plate. This trial resulted in a conviction.
Through both the personal views he clearly holds proudly and the failure to assist his client it is apparent that this is not the lawyer you want to rely upon.

His representation of Hannah Payne is horrendous! Unprofessional, unprepared, asks witnesses the same question over and over again to the point that it gets extremely annoying and he did it to a few witnesses. When he didn’t get the witness to give him an answer he was hoping for, he asked her if she was an expert witness.
Grasps at straws and comes up empty.

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.
