I can’t thank Feldman Royle enough for their outstanding work on my case. From my very first meeting with Bret Royle and David Ernest Ahl, I knew I was in excellent hands. They took the time to listen, reassure me, and thoroughly walk me through each step of the process.
Throughout the entire ordeal, the team was incredibly organized, responsive, and supportive—always keeping me informed without overwhelming me with unnecessary details. Their dedication and expertise ultimately led to a successful resolution of my case, and I’m grateful beyond words.
If you’re looking for lawyers who genuinely care, are highly knowledgeable, and will fight tirelessly for you, I highly recommend the Feldman Royle team. Their professionalism and compassion set them apart, and they truly are the gold standard in legal defense.

Tait and hall did so well with my case. To be specific Brooke and Alexis took my case and ended with no jail time nor anything on my background for a misdemeanor and even dropped my felony charge. Amazing work! Thank you tait and hall law firm staff.

I just want to express how grateful I am to have contacted them for my case. They are the most efficient, most professional, and most communicative firm i’ve ever had the pleasure to deal with. Mr. Tait and his assistant got all the required documents for me within a week of contacting them, something my previous attorney failed to do for an entire year.
If you’re looking for help for something that’s within their area of expertise, please reach out and I promise you that you will not regret it. I would’ve saved myself so much time, money, and effort bouncing between law firms if I had contacted Tait & Hall first.
I’d give them a thousand stars if I could.
Thank you guys!!!!

I worked with Connor and AJ with Cantor Law firm on my family law case, and I was very impressed with their level of expertise and the quality of representation.
Connor and AJ were extremely knowledgeable, thorough and excelled at writing motions, which really got my point across. I believe this made a significant difference in my case, as their clear and compelling arguments helped strengthen my position.
Connor was extremely well-informed about every detail of my case, even recalling critical information from months prior. His remarkable memory and dedication demonstrated a deep understanding of family law and ensured that no detail was overlooked.
While the quality of the service was excellent, the fees were more than I expected going into it. Despite the cost, I believe the representation was worth the investment because, in the end, my children are all that matter.
If you're looking for an attorney who is not only skilled but also excels in effective legal writing and strong representation, I highly recommend Connor but be prepared for higher-than-expected costs, as high-quality legal representation can come at a premium.

My husband and I are very glad to have used Cantor Law Group's attorney services! From the very beginning and in our initial consultation, we were cared for and recommend the best lawyer for our particular needs. This was the first time we hired a lawyer, and Andrea Banks made the whole process easy to understand and very efficient. She was always on top of our needs and wishes being completed, and would regularly check in with us! We were so happy to have a lawyer we could call immediately if there were any sudden questions we needed answered, or any concerns we had. Andrea and her assistant Kendra are a wonderful team to work with and get the job done as soon as possible! We HIGHLY recommend this law office, but more specifically these two wonderful women who made sure we were well taken care of in our particular case!

Michael helped me with organizing/filing legal paperwork related to my small business. The filing was complicated and confusing for me so I needed his expertise in the handling of these legal documents. Michael is personal and profession with a touch of dry wit which I can say is a breath of fresh air from an attorney.

I'm an entertainer and felt stuck in a poorly worded contract provision I signed with a certain talent agency who was trying to get commission from my bookings after our contract expired. Michael stepped in, broke down the contract and emailed the agency a cease and desist letter. He was wonderful! Michael is very thorough, down to earth, easy to communicate with and extremely helpful! I highly recommend him!

James handled a matter for my wife and me. It was an experience that exceeded our expectations.
He is trustworthy, honest, does exactly what he says he will do, and is an effective advocate inside and outside of the courtroom. He is aggressive when he needs to be, but he is always pragmatic and solutions-oriented. And he's not afraid of going to trial and fighting for you (he's very skilled inside of a courtroom).
He promptly returns phone calls and emails, understands the law, and will give you candid feedback, even if it is not what you want to hear. You can always count on James to give you an honest opinion and to represent your interests with enthusiasm. I strongly recommend James and would not hesitate to hire him again.

My wife and I had done quite a bit of research as to the ins and outs of the laws pertaining to an employment contract. As a result, the further we researched, the more questions we had, so we finally decided we needed professional input.
We contacted James Cool and made an appointment for an after-business-hours telephone call. Within 30 minutes of our conversation, Mr. Cool had not only answered all of our questions but answered using practical examples that were easily absorbed. He showed great attention to detail and instilled a high level of trust. His demeanor was professional yet quite personable. My wife and I felt as if a giant weight had been lifted off of our shoulders. Based on our experience, we highly recommend him.

I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Nancy during the period 12/2013 through 8/2014. Nancy served as one of 3 City Attorneys for a local municipality in Central Arizona where I was on assignment at the time. In my role as then Interim Chief Information Officer for that municipality, I relied greatly on the City Attorney’s office to ensure our Information Technology (IT) related contracts with vendors provided the necessary legal protections to the City.
Nancy approached such matters with great detail and thoroughness. She proved to be very knowledgeable in various areas – including IT. Moreover, she was very effective at communicating legal positions to those of us who were not lawyers. She recognized that we required absolute clarity in the legal instruments that we were to undertake with the vendor community, and as such she served us well.
I was very pleased with the level of analysis and counsel offered by Nancy. Additionally, she was one of the most pleasant individuals that I have ever had the pleasure of working with - and I would greatly welcome the opportunity to work with her again in the future.

After I had discussed my case with several attorneys who each advised that they had little confidence that I would prevail litigating the estate issues that I faced, I hired Gary to represent me. He is a consummate professional. While others viewed it an impossible situation, Gary systematically looked at every possible contingency and developed alternative plans supported by his keen understanding of the law. I can't imagine going through a horrible situation without such a competent attorney. Gary is a great advocate; honest, exacting, knowledgeable, and intellectually gifted. A fantastic lawyer!

Gary is an amazing attorney. He was actually referred to my family from a different attorney who does the same work. When the other attorney heard what we were trying to accomplish, he said we needed to call Gary because he is the best and he is absolutely correct! We were able to quickly get a guardian/conservator in place and he certainly turned a very difficult, stressful situation into a manageable one. He got things done with lightening speed as I'm sure this could been a long drawn out expensive case. It says a lot when another attorney will turn down business to refer you to best. You will not go wrong hiring Gary to represent you and we certainly appreciate and thank him for everything he has done.

Michelle is very professional and a pleasure with whom to work. She's been an invaluable legal resource to our Sales and Procurement groups and our Capital Projects' teams. Particularly impressive was Michelle's contract negotiation ability and creation of a terms standardization process across various subject matter---Multi-Million Dollar sales, supply and government contracts, license agreements, capital equipment, real estate, engineering and construction contracts, etc. An effective and dynamic public speaker and instructor, Michelle guides colleagues on legal and regulatory compliance issues in a way non-lawyers can understand and apply. Michelle rises to challenges and this year is taking on other areas of legal responsibility and oversight as our business grows.

My realtor and I recently met Benjamin about a zoning violation at a property we were interested in. I got in touch with Benjamin and gave him some preliminary information and we scheduled an initial consultation.
At the meeting, Benjamin was very well prepared with all the relevant information and summarized his findings for us in a lucid, honest manner.
He also advised us about our different options, the costs involved and the likelihood of any of those options working in our favor.
In the end, we left the meeting with the information we needed to decide whether it was worth our while to proceed with the property. Completely satisfied that we had sound legal advice before committing a substantial amount of monies.

Ms. Berke provided me with outstanding legal representation in the capacity of civil defense counsel after I was alleged to have violated Plaintiff's civil rights. After over four years of litigation, Ms. Berke achieved dismissal of the bulk of Plaintiff's claims via summary judgment, and the case was then settled for a nominal amount, far less than it would have cost to take the case to trial.

Mr. Overton was professional, blunt, and honest in regards to the legal concerns I consulted him about. What I felt was most admirable was he was up front in telling me he was not the attorney for me because he did not have the expertise I was needing. He pointed me in the right direction and gave me his opinion as an attorney as to how he would proceed.
His advise and guidance was pivotal in bringing forth a positive resolution to my legal needs.

Mr. Eagleburger was recommended by a mutual relationship of mine that understood I was under a strict deadline in a complex commercial litigation matter. Through the personal referral, Mr. Eagleburger worked around the clock to familiarize himself with my legal needs. I was not only handicapped in my timeline to meet various deadlines, but I was exhausted in resources and working remotely from Cleveland while the litigation was in Maricopa County. I would be doing Mr. Eagelburger a disservice if I did not take time out of my day to illustrate the amount of gratitude, and respect that I have for his passionate legal representation of my needs. Mr. Eagleburger worked through an entire weekend to meet my deadlines and has successfully taken steps for me that no previous counsel has been able to effectively accomplish. I highly recommend Mr. Eagelburger to anybody looking for counsel that will passionately fight for you and put his client first at all costs.

I cannot recommend Chad highly enough. From our first consultation, he was thorough, knowledgeable, and incredibly reassuring. Chad explained every step of the process in clear terms, helping me understand exactly what to expect and guiding me with both professionalism and empathy. His expertise and attention to detail were immediately apparent, which made an otherwise overwhelming situation feel manageable. I truly appreciated how he took the time to answer my questions, no matter how small, making sure I felt informed and confident about my case.
Throughout the entire process, Chad’s support and dedication made all the difference. His strategic approach and commitment to my best interests were evident from start to finish, and I was consistently impressed by his responsiveness and willingness to go above and beyond. Thanks to his guidance and representation, I achieved a favorable outcome that I could not have navigated on my own. I am incredibly grateful to Chad for his hard work, and I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a knowledgeable, compassionate, and trustworthy DUI attorney.

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.
