I have worked with Daniel Stotter on more than 30 FOIA lawsuits during the past 12 years. As the representative for two non-profit organizations, it is my opinion that Mr. Stotter is extremely knowledgeable regarding all aspects of FOIA law and is one of the best (if not THE BEST) FOIA attorneys in the U.S. Mr. Stotter’s professionalism and ethics are beyond reproach. He communicates well and is very organized. Mr. Stotter has never lost a case as our attorney and I highly recommend him.

Daniel and his team are exceptional. They have helped me obtain records from the CIA, NSA, and other federal agencies. Those records have featured in both my scholarship and reporting. In addition, Daniel has schooled me in the complex world of FOIA. I still work with Daniel, and I intend to use his services for as long as he is in business.

A big firm in San Francisco recommended Dan Stotter when I'd exhausted all other avenues. I'm a journalist and author by trade, and had a FOIA request that was blatantly ignored by a government agency. I needed help, but lawyers were reluctant to go the distance given that I had limited funds. They also weren't sure that my request rose to the level of the public's need-to-know. Well, Stotter believed in it, and carefully yet forcefully got the government to fulfill its legal obligations. He is forthright, professional, and clear. I highly recommend Daniel Stotter, and while I hope I never have reason to use his services again, I hope others will.

Ross Day is our attorney for our non profit organization called FARMS. He has been there for us since day 1 to help us with everything from organizing, public relations, and everything in between. Thanks to his extensive knowledge in land use and property rights law we have won at every step of the way in our legal battle against Josephine County infringing upon our rights as property owners. His confidence, generosity, and sense of humor puts my mind at ease and reassures me that we have the BEST attorney possible!

Caitlin Mitchell and her team did a phenomenal job handling my case, and I couldn't be more impressed with her professionalism and expertise. Caitlin always took the time to listen to my concerns and explain the process, keeping me informed at every stage. Her attention to detail and her dedication made all the difference. When I needed a voice, she provided it. The outcome exceeded my expectations, especially considering how challenging and complex the case was to navigate. Caitlin is compassionate, knowledgeable, and fully committed to her clients. She transformed an intimidating process into one where I felt valued and supported, protecting my rights every step of the way. I highly recommend Caitlin Mitchell and her team.

We had a very bad experience with Mr. Hwang. This was the only appointment we had with him. I think he is impersonal, angry, self absorbed and not patient.
What do people need when they are going through the worst of their lives? -Patience, kindness and awareness of other people’s feelings, as death can be devastating for the family and friends.
Knowledge without these traits is like getting a big enciclopedia.
Please read all the reviews that have been written about him. I did not before setting an appointment, and regretted it.

I found this law from a referral from the OSB. I needed an estate/probate to help me handle my mother’s estate after being faced with a few challenges. The attorneys that prepared my mother’s estate documentation are no longer living. The whole firm has been amazing. I’ll definitely retain the firm in the future if I need assistance.

I had a poor experience with this firm two years ago and left a review with those details. I see now someone has worked to have my previous review flagged and removed. Something to consider when scanning the reviews here. Updated to add response: As my initial review was flagged and aggressively removed, of course this is coming from my backup account. I am most definitely a former client and not at all happy with how I was treated. I wish they worked as hard on my case as they did trying to remove my review.

Jina was diligent, and able to clearly describe our legal options. Her commitment to what the law said, and didn't say, allowed us to resolve our case quickly and efficiently. She was communicative and flexible. I really appreciated that she was able to identifying winning arguments from losing arguments quickly and explain why a course of action wouldn't get us the best results.

I am deeply grateful for Scott's recent guidance while navigating an employment separation. The situation felt so much bigger than me. I was overwhelmed, out of my depth, and unsure of how to protect myself. Scott's expertise gave me a sense of agency I didn't think was possible given the situation. His ability to cut through the complexity and explain things in plain language was a game-changer. He empowered me to understand my situation and make informed decisions. His guidance and support was beyond appreciated at a time when I felt I lost and helpless.
Scott charged a clear, upfront fee and was incredibly accessible and responsive. When we slightly exceeded our billed time, he assured me that the fee was for the seeing me through the process, not the clock, which was generous and an enormous relief. Scott's professionalism and integrity truly earned my trust and I'll definitely be keeping his contact info on hand for the future. 10 out of 10 recommend!

My husband and I needed legal representation regarding an inherited property buyout that required an immediate response. We found Scannellaw on-line and within a few days, Terry Scannell met with us, requested the necessary information, and guided us toward a legal outcome we were satisfied with. What we liked best about working with Terry was his honesty, perseverance, vast knowledge, reliable communication, and sense of humor when we needed it most. He did not disappoint and we were lucky to work with him. We highly recommend Terry and his team for any legal situation - they will deliver!

I spoke with Terry my phone. He provided me free consultation and gave me his honest and professional advice. He did not try to sell me something that I did not need. When he learned that I needed advice from someone more specialized, he gave me two different recommendations.
I was very impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. He would be the first person. I would call if I ever needed legal advice again.

Mr. Thompson was awesome in helping with a difficult Estate regarding a family member, who was the administrator who was not trustworthy.

Brian Thompson guided me through dealing with my mother's estate. We had an initial consultation where he told me to keep excellent records. I had no idea how important that emphasis would be at the time, but after that I made sure to keep everything in a spreadsheet. I don't know how I could have done this without Brian and the tax professional we used.
Along the way I found the process complicated due to some weird small investments my mother had, and selling her house. It was not a huge estate, but it was complicated.
Every time I asked Brian a question in email he answered back with clear recommendations. He even called me once when he sensed that I was confused.
I would use him again.

Terrible communication, way more reactive than proactive. She took on my case 1 year ago, and the only responses I can get are...”nothing new yet.” On a good note, Jennifer is very personable, and extremely knowledgeable. Just because I feel she was not optimal for my specific needs, doesn’t mean she isn’t perfect for yours.

Jennifer handled my DUII case, attended the administrative hearing on my behalf, and was keen enough to find a technical error in the procedures that resulted in a judgement in favor of not suspending my drivers license. While handling the case, Jennifer demonstrated high professionalism, objectivity and knowledge in the subject matter, I highly recommend her.

What I appreciated most about Leonard was his willingness to listen to us: the information we had to offer, our insight into the situation, and our suggestions. He was always very prompt in his replies! By considering our input, Leonard was able to help us focus on what was important from a legal perspective, then he formulated a unique strategy for dealing with our specific situation. Hiring a lawyer is an expensive proposition, so you want to be sure that your money is well spent. I can honestly say that ours was!

Walt handled an easement dispute for my wife and me. We found him to be very nice to work with. He listened to our concerns and idea, gave good feedback and helped negotiate a settlement that was responsible for all. Walt is not one that will look for a fight - he looks for a solution and work to avoid the courtroom. In addition to his 'lawyering' skills I was very happy with Walts' communicativeness - his willingness to meet and discuss and to take and return telephone calls promptly. He was very easy to work with.

Thanks to the amazing team I now have my green card, it took less than a year, everyone’s case is different so timeline will differ. Everyone here truly is amazing, they work with you and help you throughout the process and any questions you may have they are quick to respond. I was referred by a friend because they had nothing but positive feedback and I can also say I had a very positive experience. It’s worth calling and seeing if they can help you. All the legal advice and information they provide is helpful. Thank you again.

Good attorney for this fairly remote area of Oregon. Helped with an auto claim and compensation for injuries as a passenger in a family member's vehicle. No complaints. Eager and friendly assistance provided and resolved out of court. Pleasant, professional and courteous office staff made the whole situation a little easier. Thank you. Will return if assistance is needed in the future, though I sure hope not to need it.

Fortress surprised us…
The COVID pandemic, (which severely compromised my business) along with family illness and loved ones passing in both my and my wife’s families, caused us to get behind in paying our IRS taxes. My wife lost her brother due to complications from diabetes. I had just lost my father. We were overwhelmed and knew we needed help, but where to turn?
While my wife was away in China caring for her brother (before he passed), I received a certified letter/summons from the IRS mandating that I attend a hearing in CT in less than a week with all returns/paperwork completed, and with full payment of back taxes. I phoned IRS stating that there was no way I could make said order happen that quickly. The IRS wasn’t interested in my excuses. I couldn’t sleep.
I’d heard countless tax relief ads on talk radio over the past few years – some from hosts I trusted. Yet when I did my due diligence and reviewed those most frequently advertised, I found they didn’t rate well. There were many complaints from dissatisfied customers who ended up getting nickeled and dimed throughout the process.
Then on the Forbes Advisor I found Fortress Tax Relief with a five-star rating under “Best Tax Relief Companies Of December 2024.” I phoned Fortress and my mind was quickly put to rest as they listened patiently, and then outlined what they could provide for us. Furthermore, I was told I would not have to show up for the IRS hearing, that Fortress would act in my behalf.
We made only one payment to Fortress. I admit I was skeptical, but David Feldman and the team at Fortress came through for us in unimaginable ways, repeatedly and consistently. I had one call from the IRS right after contracting with Fortress. IRS was brutal, stating that I needed to “shut my mouth and listen” when I attempted to explain that I’d contracted with Fortress. I phoned Fortress and David ensured me that I would not have to take any further calls from IRS; subsequently IRS never phoned again. Not even once.
In short, Fortress protected us and isolated us from the IRS. David Feldman kept them from levying, which IRS repeatedly threatened via mail correspondence. Each time I received such correspondence I made PDF’s and sent them to Fortress. Fortress had already received same and ensured us the IRS would not levy. We were able to settle with David’s help and have finally put this behind us. Fortress provided a safety net which allowed us to go on with our lives w/out threats and pressure from the IRS – and we are most grateful. Fortress is very deserving of this FIVE-STAR review. They didn’t once let us down. We wrote and spoke several times. Our concerns were always responded to quickly. My wife and I recommend Fortress very highly. They did what they promised. They were personable and most responsible. In hindsight the price we paid was most fair considering the multiple times Fortress went to bat for us. Kudos to David Feldman and his team.

After a series of unexpected events, including the pandemic lockdown which was catastrophic to my industry worldwide and a subsequent 8-month! industry strike and general work slowdown, I found myself hopelessly behind in paying my IRS taxes. Of course, with that string of bad luck, naturally the IRS decided that now would be the best time to demand payment. Might as well kick me when I’m already down.
I had heard countless radio ads over the years for tax relief services, but now it seemed I needed help from someone who could help me as financial matters have never been my specialty. After some research, I came across information for FORTRESS TAX RELIEF, who I had never heard of before, yet the company was highly rated. It was a bit more expensive than the other options, and I was still struggling to just pay normal bills, but I decided that I needed the best to help me manage this spiraling situation.
After speaking with the owner about my circumstances, he handed me off to Mr. David Feldman and his assistant, Amber, who patiently listened to my story. They seemed to understand the difficulties that got me here and worked tirelessly to negotiate a payment plan that was more realistic than what the IRS initially was demanding. I still owe a lot of money and am still struggling with income, but without David and Amber’s help, the situation would be far far worse.
David went above and beyond as we ran into an unexpected snag with one of my payroll companies which erroneously withheld THOUSANDS of dollars that they shouldn’t have. David helped get to the bottom of their error in conjunction with the IRS agent and thankfully stopped the wrongly garnishments, money I really could have used all that time (and now!).
Both David and Amber have been so kind, helpful, and always available to answer any questions I have. Their calm demeanor has been truly welcome during a very stressful time. I really can’t recommend Fortress enough.

I could not be happier with the service. Provide what is needed in a timely manner and they will take care of the rest. My tax issue was huge. I paid the flat max fee that was beyond reasonable and they were able to work directly with the IRS and were able to have my penalties and interest removed. Roughly 200k. If it is possible they will do it. They really do care about their clients.

I feel like they did not know how to help me as a disabled veteran. We had to appeal several times and still lost after 4 tries. The medical expert says you have to go to the ER for migraines, but they've obviously never had a migraine or they'd know that sitting in an ER for hours on end when light, sound and movement only intensify and prolong the migraine. I know I'm not going to die, so why would I waste my time at the ER making my condition worse. These ppl don't know what they're doing.

These guys have been with me for 7 years through one of the scariest events of my life. Through that time, my case started at the worst spot possible, and over the years of hard work From the team which included Mark, Jeff, and Jake, my case is significantly less scary and difficult to deal with. I left everything in their hands and trusted them with every decision. They guided me through grueling interviews from prosecutors. They kept me feeling calm and safe during my time testifying as a witness. Jeff also always responded promptly to all my calls and texts throughout all hours of the day and the anxiety/Panic filled evenings. During all this time as well I got to stay with my family and live peacefully without fear during the courts work. I could not think of a better law firm for dealing with your criminal mistakes.

I would not give any stars, if that was a choice. Mr. Smith was extremely condescending, rude and obnoxious. He would not listen to what I had to say and was not interested at all in my situation. I typically do not post reviews, but feel this is important. I have never been treated so poorly in a professional setting.
update: We both clearly know what happened, so no further response is needed. My conscience is clear.

I had the misfortune of hiring this firm in 2020 to handle a VA Disability Appeal. Year after year, till yesterday, they did absolutely nothing. Weren't even sure if any records release went to the '2' facilities I was treated at. Totally not ready for my hearing which they postponed to 'get ready' (hahhahahahahhahaa!) Yeah..
Anyway, they blew it. They performed no work, didn't get records because guess what?? Records don't just muster on station at their office without VALID AND CONTEMPORANEOUS requests, which didn't happen. 3 years of time wasted. They self ejected because they knew they were in way way above their heads and couldn't perform because they didn't even request records. Had I researched them I would never have hired them. IF you want your case to go nowhere, hire these guys! It'll grow MOSS!!!!!
note: Just because a person 'served' in a branch of military, does NOT necessarily mean they have your back...or are equipped to do the work. I should have asked what their MOS' were!!!

Hired this "attorney?" for a child custody case for my daughter. Extremely unprofessional in her demeanor and attire. She charges $275.00 an hour for her services and will charge you for every little thing! During her/our first hearing with the judge, she was unable to even present her case after a combative attitude and heated arguments with the judge. Judge decided case without even speaking to my daughter, or any of her witnesses because of this. We fired her and her final bill was trumped up to squeeze out every last dime from us...Final cost: $5500.+ just up to the FIRST hearing!

When we came to Shelley, we were desperate. My husband had been dealing with having his daughter withheld from him at random, and constant abusive text messages from his daughter's mother. His daughter was not in the greatest situation, and the judge was believing all of the lies that were being told to her for years upon years. Enough was enough! We searched and searched, Shelley came to the rescue! She gave us hope, and reminded my husband that he IS a good father, and deserves his daughter on a consistent basis. She gave specific guidance on how to organize information and give it to her. She did not make any open ended promises. Shelley is very black and white. She keeps it real. She isn't going to sugar coat things for you, or fluff things up to make them what they aren't. If she needs something or has a concern she will bring it to the appropriate person's attention in a professional manner.
She helped make our family complete. She has been a great investment to our family, and gave us what we were not able to achieve on our own...our daughter. Not only was my husband granted more parenting time, but he was also granted sole custody. Now we can rest easy knowing that she is getting the BEST possible care and education, all thanks to Shelley Fuller! We love her!

Divorce is a scare thing I felt. But Shelly not only told me my rights as a wife but also made sure I understood them. My ex was not only violent but mentally and verbally aggressive. I was afraid. But Shelly reassured me that the law was there.... it gave me a great level of peace. She's amazing and I will always make sure people who need her know it!!!!

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.
