From start to finish the process was amazing and easy to navigate.
My consultation was well worth the money and as I continued down my legal path, speaking with Rick Brister and his team, things were made clear, clean-cut, and most of all, stress free. I highly recommend working with this firm if you are pulled into any legal matters, they will give you REAL legal advice and assistance without trying to run up a crazy bill!
Give them a call today!

Tully and Rickney PLLC were great to work with from the start! I worked with Nicholas Marricco from the Manhattan dept and Sivan Zak from White Plains dept both were on top of our case and were with my family step by step throughout the educational rights process. Even the secretary Abby always able to communicate and easy to get ahold of for any questions that we had. If your looking for lawyers to stand up for your children's rights these two are your go to!

Would give them a zero star rating, but it is not possible. They have the worst turn-around time. Do not follow up with you. Based on the lack of good customer relations is why my rating is what it is… would suggest Nave Law Firm. They will bill you for work that they have not even performed!

In an honest of a review as possible, I give the staff incredible commendations for their work on my case. Communication was top notch, and directions for my tasks were clear and concise. I am happy with the way the entire case was handled. Bravo! I hope to not need to use them again, but I suggest anyone at least consult with them if they are considering representation.

If you want a lawyer who shakes in court, can’t answer questions the judge asks, overcharges you, doesn’t communicate when they make decisions days before a court appearance and your lawyer doesn’t appear or call to let you know they are sending someone else, neglects to listen, or appropriately respond to billing questions then these are the Lawyers for you! I wanted to like them and thought my case was pretty straightforward, however, instead of just worrying about my case I have been worrying about the terrible services provided by Colwell and what they will do next to disappoint.

Very disappointing people, never respond your call after taking the money, don’t care about their clients. Very irresponsible lawyers and staff. No one should go there or recommend to others.

I retained Moore Kuehn for a shareholder derivative case after my company stock lost substantial value. Justin Kuehn explained the shareholder derivative process up front and filed our case right away. They kept me updated with the case status and got me an incentive fee. Great firm for a shareholder derivative case!

Wow Matthew is quick, hardworking, and honest. I had gotten a ticket two years ago that still had not been resolved, I called him and it took a couple of days for him to dismiss everything and honestly speaking my situation was not good, but still he pulled through and saved me. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I really recommend him and will be using him in the future .

If anyone knows what it's like to need a lawyer on a weekend or weeknight, I found myself in that situation in 2010. After Googling attorneys, I went through the list and Mr. Swedick was the only one that answered the phone. He took care of the situation quickly. I was very impressed, and he has been my attorney now for over ten years. He works hard for his clients and his communication is excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to any friend, family member or any stranger for that matter.

If your looking for a lawyer that COMMUNICATES top notch, say/night any hours. This is your guy! Exceptionally professional, yet treats you as a person as well not just a client. Matt is not only a fantastic lawyer but a great person. I’m business you want the best but not ever do you find a great person behind it. He will get you the outcome you deserve hands down. He will work HARD. And always on top of everything, never missed a court date. He was referred to two other people and both those people changed their entire life with his help. He kept a father home to see his daughter deliver her baby. He knows the law and how valuable life is. Your in the best hands.

Highly recommend!!! Many years ago my father met with Laura Dunathan to do his estate planning. She was incredibly thorough, efficient, and patient. Laura explained everything to my Dad and made the entire process easy!!! Years later, sadly, my mom passed without any estate planning completed and Laura Dunathan has helped me throughout the entire process with compassion and care. If you are looking for a firm who will put you first, look no further than Dunathan Goodale PC. Laura and AnnMarie use their years of experience to make sure their clients are prepared and protected for the future. After working with Dunathan Goodale I know I have #DunGood for my children and future.

Matthew is the best! I was looking for an attorney who could review some contracts and help me form an LLC within a very short timeframe and Matthew handled it all quickly and professionally. He is extremely patient and thorough when answering my many questions and has continued to be a resource for me and my business. He's trustworthy, efficient, and really knows his stuff. I've recommended him to a number of friends and family members and will continue to do so!

I would certainly recommend the excellent staff at Sawers and Sackel Attorney's at Law. After being injured at work, I know I could always be reassured that they were there to assist me every step of the way.It made it a great deal easier to get through the Workers Compensation process. Sawers and Sackel were always very prompt to answer my many questions, they treated me like family and really assisted me when the difficult questions came up.
Sawers and Sackel guided me in a very caring manner and were always very concise.
I have already referred a friend to Sawers and Sackel. I would highly recommend them to everyone.

I have been with Sawer & Sackel for 3 separate workers comp claims and have been very unsatisfied until recently. Up until Holly took ownership in my cases I was left wondering what was going on. I was the one that had to initiate any and all inquiries into correspondences from the insurance carrier. And I rarely spoke with a lawyer and it was Never the same individual. Since working with Holly things have change my thinking entirely. She has taken ownership in my case and has gone above and beyond my expectations (or at least what my expectations of a law firm should be) and have reaffirmed my choice in a workers compensation law firm. Holly will initiate and follow up on all inquiries and respond in a timely manner. I have enjoyed working with her and look forward to a positive outcome in my pending cases.

I’ve been with Sawers & Sackel for a few months. From day one, they have been professional and answered all of my questions. Going through this process has been difficult. During a phone call, Holly was so supportive. A few days later, I received a letter from Holly, with handwritten encouragement from her! It brought me to tears. I’ve never heard of a law firm that cares this much, to not only work diligently on my behalf but to take an interest in me personally. Bill and Julie have also been so supportive to me I would recommend Sawers & Sackel to anyone!!

We retained Mr. Brister of Tully Rinckey to assist us with a legal matter regarding our business and we could not be more impressed with him and this firm. From start to finish, they have offered impeccable customer service and have treated us with the utmost kindness and understanding. Mr. Brister is one of the nicest people we have ever met and has been a joy to work with. Don't let his kind demeanor fool you- he is all business and defends his clients with vigor. We could not be happier with our experience with Mr. Brister and Tully Rinckey and plan to work with them on any legal matters we have moving forward (though we hope they are few!).

Chris Chimeri and John Whiteman are two excellent attorneys who helped me, guided me, and made me comfortable every step of the way in my divorce case. John Whiteman ran with my case and brought it to a very successful conclusion, I couldn’t have asked for better representation or a better outcome. Also my thanks to their support staff specifically Shawneice Belin who went above and beyond to help me navigate through this entire process. I would absolutely use Quatela and Chimeri again for any of my legal needs and would highly recommend them to anyone I know in need of legal services.

I worked with Robert on a litigation matter related to personal injury with a former landlord and I cannot recommend him enough. He was always available to speak with me at any time of day, and his strategic and legal guidance was on the mark at every step of the way. He gave thoughtful, personable advice and always had unique insights and perspectives on the best next steps to take in our approach. As a result of Robert's diligent strategy and impressive negotiations with my landlord, he was able to ensure I received an excellent and fair outcome.

Unfortunately, I had EEOC issues that I could not resolve with my employer.
After several weeks of searching for a law firm with the knowledge, ability and resources to take on an EEOC case against a large agency, I heard about Tully Rinckey, PLLC.,
Allen Shoikhetbrod, my attorney at Tully Rinckey, is phenomenal. Allen is extremely knowledgeable about EEOC and government agency issues. Experienced, honest, professional,
detail-oriented, empathetic and warrior are words I would use to describe him.
Tully Rinckey is a professional law firm that cares about the individual, not just the numbers.
There were no surprise or hidden fees, phone calls and emails were promptly answered.
The legal representation and advice provided during my case was well worth the cost.
I would definitely recommend Tully Rinckey to family and friends.

I was close to receiving a probationary dismissal from a supervisor with negative re-hire codes as a reprisal for an EEO complaint. Although his behavior was unlawful, I had next to no options and was repeatedly harassed by the legal office to sign a vague resignation contract with an NDA clause that I was not comfortable with. I was referred to Mr. Allen Shoikhetbrod by a friend (who is also an attorney but unable to take the case). Allen immediately took action by contacting the legal office and rewriting the resignation contract to be completely in my favor. I never felt pressured and knew the firm had my best interests at heart. My family and I received the outcome we needed/desired in a period of two weeks! I could not be happier. Thank you!

David Coombs saved my career, passion and livelihood. My initial request for information from him received a quick and thorough response. After retaining David, he quickly went to work. Once I saw what he was doing on my case, my stress levels decreased significantly. David was a true advocate for me. He worked hard and was always reachable. Best of all, he is experienced, knows the military legal system very well and had the respect of the members at the Flying Evaluation Board as he is a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army Reserve with over 20 years of service.
David’s use of technology was also very helpful. I enjoyed using the collaborative website that allowed me to see and track the work being done, witnesses contacted and communications with the Command. This system was user-friendly, excellent for organizing the case and streamlined communication between the two of us.
David Coombs has my highest recommendation if you need someone to fight for you and your career. He is highly skilled, responsive and dedicated to his clients.

I am so glad we ran into Mr. Coombs and that he, agreed to take our case. My daughter is an active duty U.S. Army soldier serving in South Korea. She was wrongly accused of multiple charges under a 15-6 investigation, this case was a real juggernaut, a 32-page indictment with all kinds of twists and turns. Mr. Coombs quickly reviewed the case and gave us his initial assessment. Even though we were over 6K miles apart, he always made us feel like we were right next door, access, communication and feedback was quick and insightful, questions were tough but reflected his interest and commitment to the case. As the case progressed, we started to realize his defense strategy, its was simply brilliant. At first, I was a little hesitant to engage a lawyer without a face-to-face meeting, but he definitely have proved me wrong. He never over promised but was clear on the direction and kept us informed on possible courses of actions. The final outcome was a complete vindication, this was a relief for our entire family, I was, to say the least, very happy......none; not a single recommendation from the Investigating Officer against my daughter was validated by the decision-making authority, the entire case was basically discarded, she got her career back along with another chance to move forward thanks to Mr. Coombs' outstanding defense.
BREAK;
I would like to take this opportunity express my most sincere gratitude to Mr. Coombs, first and foremost for taking our case, asking the right (tough) questions and putting such a brilliant defense into action.
We would not have had this outcome if it were not for his hard work, dedication and expertise.
Again, thanks David for all your support, now I know how to find you the next time we need the very best legal representation in all military matters.

Chris Pashler helped me to achieve a fully favorable outcome for disability benefits. He listened, was kind and compassionate, and honest and direct with what to expect.

This is my first time working with Lawyer Victor and I'm impressed with the result. His communication with a client is superb! I got a ticket for disobeying a traffic sign in The Bronx of which I didn't even see the sign and there wasn't any pavement marking also, so I was left with two options either to plead guilty and pay the ticket with "2 points on my license" or give it a try by giving the case to a Lawyer. Upon a recommendation from a relative, I gave the case to Lawyer Victor A. Bernace. I got the ticket dismissed yesterday. With great emphasis, I recommend him to anyone because his rates are affordable, and have a very effective communication style.

Victor A. Bernace, Esq is a knowledgeable, honest, affordable and patient lawyer, who communicates clearly. Even before I hired him, he was very generous with providing me counsel and information about my situation. He provided me a link to connect virtually to the court to appear for my hearing, which I had no idea I could do. He was also honest about my situation and the likelihood of winning. Additionally, he won my case and sent me the notes he prepared in order to do so! I would give him ten stars if I could!

I was referred to Joni by a friend at a time when I desperately needed to handle a really bad situation at work. Joni is a first class attorney - she was extremely responsive & knowledgeable, and handled my case very strategically. Her advice was always on point, emotion-free, and smart.

From first consultation to signing my settlement Fred was top notch throughout the entire process. Emotions on my end were hugh and Fred helped to calm me and provide me with what to expect which is exactly what I needed and what happened. His knowledge and expertise helped to get me exactly what I was entitled to. Fred is the person you want on your side when things start to get tough, he is strong and passionate and fights for what is important to you. He tells you exactly how it is, even when you don't want to heaf it but I wouldn't want it any other way because he's honest. He isn't a lawyer that just continues to charge you for everything and takes pride in his work. I am thankful to say it's finally over but would without hesitation highly recommend Frederick Vasselman.

I reached out to Cari for legal assistance after my ex-husband served me with expanded demands for an out-of-state visitation agreement for our teenage daughter. At the time, I had full physical/legal custody and my daughter was against the proposed travel schedule.
Cari was a fierce advocate for both of us. She expertly managed a tense situation with compassion and strength. She stayed level-headed and expertly navigated negotiations no matter what the other side threw at us.
From day one, I felt very taken care of and knew I could count on her to respond to all of my questions and keep me well-informed. Cari always took the time to explain the situation to me and the pros and cons of different paths we could take. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, she helped me feel empowered and secure.
My daughter and I are in a better place now because of Cari and I encourage anyone in a similar situation to work with Rincker Law. I will always be grateful for Cari’s strategic abilities, attentiveness and interpersonal skills.

Chad helped me to obtain my green card, in a situation that was far from typical. Though I was married to a US citizen, I had to travel constantly for both work, and personal reasons, and my case really fell into a grey area. Chad was able to help me navigate the process with relative ease, and provided assistance whenever I needed it. I will be contacting Chad again in a few years, to obtain my citizenship. Thank you for all your help and support.

She was always prompt in her communications, ensuring that I was kept informed and that everything moved along efficiently. Additionally, her billing was extremely fair and honest, which I greatly appreciated.
Overall, I highly recommend Jenice to anyone in need of legal services. Her professionalism, commitment, and fairness make her an exceptional choice.

Jenice Malecki is an excellent attorney and extremely reliable. My family had a shocking, horrible, and extremely stressful experience that their money, all their savings were stolen all of a sudden. We had no idea what type of lawyer we needed, we had no experience in issues like this and we didn't know any lawyer. It was extremely shocking and complex involving at least 2 huge financial institutions globally known and brokers. After doing tons of research, I found Malecki Law to be one of the best in the Financial Industry. We decided to have a consultation with her to get to know more about her experience in issues like this. We are so thankful we decided to hire her. Jenice Malecki and her team (including Darryl J. Bouganim) are extremely hard-working and highly experienced. They helped us day and night trying to solve our problem. It was an extremely hard case. It would not have been solved if it weren't thanks to the fact that we had Jenice Malecki as our attorney. I realized how important it is to have a really good attorney (and I repeat, it HAS to be that good when the stakes are so high and the case is so complex and hard) on your side with experience in this particular field. I feel it's important that whoever is reading this and if a similar situation happened to you, that you know that Jenice Malecki is truly one of the best in the securities industry! My family is extremely thankful that we found her. I'd definitely recommend her and her office with no doubt at all! It's very easy to communicate with her and she keeps you updated throughout the case. She really cares about her clients. She is excellent at trial too when the stakes are so high and you have to prove your case. She is also very honest and transparent with everything, including expenses and fees. You won't get any surprises or hidden fees. Extremely professional, ethical, experienced, and knowledgeable in what she does! We ended up working with her for over 3 years!

Rachel made this process so simple and was a pleasure to work with! She was patient with me, explained things over and over until I fully understood it all and did all the hard work for me. She made sure I had a strong case and was there for me every step of the way. I was expecting the process to take close to 2 years but she helped me build such a strong case, I received my green card only 6 months after I submitted my application. I am extremely grateful for her guidance, professionalism, and knowledge in this field. She really made this process a breeze!

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.
