David's attention to detail and prompt communication were remarkable. He kept me well-informed of all developments, responded quickly to my questions, and proactively addressed potential concerns before they could become issues. His extensive knowledge, combined with his tactical negotiation skills, proved invaluable in reaching a resolution that protected my interests. I would unequivocally recommend David to anyone seeking experienced legal representation.

My court martial was 9 months ago and I am still shocked at how it went. The investigation was mishandled and interviews with key people were not conducted. The JAG office thought they would have me with an Article 15 and that I would not fight back against the accusations because I had four accusers. My case would have been a first for the base if I had been convicted since it dealt with same sex false allegations. If it wasn’t for Katie and Andy, I honestly do not know where my life would be right now. Andy was able to expose all the lies and each of the Jury members were shocked at why it made it as far as it did. Legal and OSI do not care about you or how much of your life you have given to the military. My life literally felt like the next bullet for their EPB and OPRs versus being treated fairly and using common sense. The people that falsely accuse you will have no repercussions and will go on to still make rank and live their lives unaffected. If you find yourself ever in a situation where you need legal assistance, call this amazing team! They will fight for you and do it respectfully and tactfully! I will forever be grateful to them!

Andy Cherkasky is an incredible attorney! If Andy or his team have the availability to take your case, you’d be a fool not to go with them. If you’re being charged with sexual assault/harassment etc., I want you to know you are not going into a fair fight. I cannot stress this enough, the system is built to put innocent people away, and without the best, it will. Andy is the best. The politicians have rigged the system against you and you were convicted in their minds the second someone complained. If I didn’t have Andy as an attorney, I truly think the Air Force would’ve succeeded in framing me. Andy handled a falsified and fabricated sexual assault allegation against me and I was amazed. Watching Andy work, albeit from an uncomfortably close seat to the action, was a true master class in trial litigation. As a Maj in the Air Force, I was very familiar about the shady things that JAG/OSI pull, but however bad you think they are, I promise you, they are worse. You probably hear things like “no one is out to get you” or “they’re just doing their jobs” I’m here to tell you they are out to get you! If you have even the smallest allegation levied against you, the AF will take the case all the way; your career will be ruined before you have the first iota of due process. They do not care, at all, about their people and will bend or break regulations and laws to try and screw you. These politically incensed cases like sexual assault/harassment etc. will have the JAG pull out every stop against you no matter how ludicrous or how much exculpatory evidence there is. Andy was able handle every bit of the mountains of BS and low blows the AF handed out. My case took over 3 years to finally get to court due to the Air Force delaying. It started as a GCM and was moved to a BOI. Don’t let the lesser punishments in a BOI deceive you. A BOI has pretty much zero rules and there is no accountability for the “Judge” so they will pull as many sleezy tricks as they can to throw you under the bus. I personally witnessed OSI make statements they were instructed to not, opposing council ask questions they had been explicitly directed not to ask, testify to the jury on evidence not turned over to defense council (this is like Law 101) just to mention a few. These JAG attorneys know better, but they also know there are no consequences for their actions in a BOI. It truly breaks my heart that the military displays this abhorrent behavior that flies in the face of our core values. The fact that HAF allows this to go on is slap in the face to every airman who has ever served. If you haven’t seen Andy and their team on TV, they are fighting this kind of politically influenced behavior from every angle they can. Andy worked tirelessly on my case for 3 years and even helped me with security clearance issues when the AF tried to halt my career in that manner. Throughout that entire process it was always easy to get ahold of Andy for any issue, of which there were many. My words certainly aren’t sufficient or eloquent enough to describe how grateful I am to have had Andy take my case. He is truly fantastic, and it was a pleasure and an honor working with him.

Andy and Katie, are very professional and readily available during my year and half process. I will tell you, be open and upfront with them. As a client your process will be extremely stressful and there will be times Andy and/or Katie will challenge you on facts of the case. Although things might seem tense during those interactions, trust Andy and Katie are on your side and are working relentlessly on your behalf for the best outcome in your case. They will fight for you, even when you think nothing is happening, things are happening behind the scenes. The worst part of the process you are enduring is the waiting, the times when Andy and Katie are not able to do much legally. However, make no mistake, Andy and Katie will be there for you as counselors and help ease your frustration during the lull. Once the time to fight presents itself, best believe Andy and Katie will attack with vengeance. I would 100% recommend the services of Andy and Katie to any military member, regardless of service or charge. They are the best military defense team in the world.

Apryl has helped our family on three different occasions, representing us on both the sale and purchase side. She is knowledgeable, helpful at every turn, truly has her client's back, and she gives very good advice. When working with Apryl she tells you like it is and really helps her clients understand the details of complicated real estate contracts. She is quick to point out the good and the bad and will help you navigate a negotiation knowing you have a true pro working on your behalf. Apryl is always just a phone call away to answer any question big or small. To top it all off, Apryl is an all around great person and a pleasure to talk to and engage with. We are so grateful we had Apryl in our corner and will continue to work with her going forward. We cannot recommend her enough to anyone who needs a real estate attorney in Brooklyn.

Apryl was recommended to us by our Realtor, and after one conversation we knew she would be out attorney. She helped us buy our first home in Brooklyn. We couldn't have been less prepared for the roller coaster. Our deal was complicated, but Apryl helped us through every step and explained everything to us in language we could understand. She is patient, kind, blunt, scrappy, and hilarious. Apryl has a gift for putting overly complicated legal jargon into blunt, everyday language that we understood. I would definitely recommend Apryl Hand to anyone in the Real Estate market. She is the best!

Mark represented us in a lawsuit that was stalled by the opposing attorney at every opportunity possible. Mark did everything correctly to continue the case moving forward in our favor. Additionally, he explained all the options we had at every step in the process and proceeded based on our decision. I hope that we don't need him again, but if we do, he'll be our first call!

Walt Disney once said that, “Do what you do so well that they will want to see it again and bring their friends.” Mr. Hannan was whom he was speaking of. So here is my request to friends. We had a situation where we felt we were taken advantage of. Mr. Hannan not only explained in honest and clear way of how the case would proceed, he was exactly right. There was absolutely no surprises, which is all I want from an attorney. While I understand you can't win every case (which we did get the settlement he said we would), you can expect ethics and Mr. Hannan is the epitome of that. Going forward, while I hope I never "need" an attorney again, I will "want" to see him in action as he is fantastic.

Mark helped me avoid points and a heavy fine on a speeding violation. He always answered or returned my phone calls right away. It's hard to find a lawyer who truly cares about his clients. I'm lucky enough to have found one and I won't use anyone else. Highly recommended!

A few years back my five-year-old son was hit by a automobile the insurance company offered to pay out the max. It was recommended to us to have an attorney. So I contacted Levine , Gouldin and Thompson. They immediately accepted the case. They were unable to get my son any additional payout and what the insurance company had already offered with that said they still wanted a third of my son's award. They mailed me a letter wanting me to sign an agreement to pay them 1/3. This would equate to $33,000 to be paid to them, out of my son's $100,000 payout from the insurance company. What's the insurance company had already offered us. I ended up not having to fight State Farm but the very attorney I had hired to help my son. In the end the judge awarded them $25,000. So my son ended up with $75,000. We are just grateful to have our son after a severe broken femur. I would never hire or recommend this Law Firm! I fought and argued with them all the way and they cared nothing about me or my son!

If NYC chose this woman to be a judge... I thought, gee, I could choose her to be a lawyer. And there are no regrets. Easy going, intelligent, she's a NY City gal, I'm a little upstate, and she went out of her way to meet up when it was important. They don't make them like that, she's a role model in my book.

Communication is another great need personal representatives have of their estate attorney, another Bracha strength.

I have had the privilege of getting to know Bracha and her work and have been quite impressed. Her personable approach and style helps her clients feel comfortable and understood through a difficult process, and makes sure she helps them address even the questions they didn’t know they needed to ask. The straightforward advice and guidance she gave me about handling some of the more challenging planning aspects, like choosing healthcare and power-of-attorney agents, gave me the ability to arrive at the right decision in my own time. If you are seeing a trusts and estates attorney who can understand you and your needs and make sure your planning gets done right, I recommend Bracha.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Wilber (Will) Trivino for almost two decades and have referred more clients than I can count to him, all of whom have achieved successful outcomes and continue to seek his counsel. His dedication to preventive law is truly commendable, providing clients with clear, comprehensive advice that helps them navigate complex legal matters with ease. Will’s ethical standards and exceptional communication skills ensure that clients are well-informed and confident in their decisions. He is dedicated to community and wonderful to work with on complex matters, especially if you want to avoid expensive and long litigation. That said, he is a master litigator with extensive experience if you decide to litigate. He provides culturally sensitive bilingual services in Spanish and English as well which is a plus. Moreover, Trivino Law Firm PLLC has a philanthropic arm that supports aspiring law students, fostering the next generation of legal professionals who are well-equipped and possess stellar bedside manners while mastering the law like Will. This commitment to nurturing future talent is exceptional and speaks volumes about the firm’s dedication to the legal community. I especially LOVE this about Will and his firm given the importance of lawyers to give back. He epitomized paying it forward. I highly recommend Trivino Law Firm PLLC without reservations for anyone seeking reliable and effective legal representation.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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).
  5. Have you handled cases like mine before?
    Ask about their experience with similar cases and whether they have achieved favorable outcomes in the past.
  6. 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.
