ANYONE seeking THE UTMOST PROFESSIONAL experience please look NO further. ASHLEY is AMAZING, attentive and EXTREMELY willing to go above and beyond. I received a phone call from a bill collector. I believe her name was Danielle, AKA “the junkyard dog” AKA “ANGRY BIRD” from the law offices of Nguyen Ballato Law Firm.
Guess what DANIELLE? “You mess with the bull you get the horns.”
As I do NOT divulge any personal information over the telephone. I promptly contacted the law office of Riddle and Hanna. Ashley IMMEDIATELY contacted this low-grade, “law firm.”
After, oh, I believe 5 emails, Nguyen Ballato Law Firm finally provided the information needed to remit payment. However, my client ID number provided to Ashley IS INCORRECT!!!!
Which has again hindered me from remitting payment. I will repeat myself, if you need a professional lawyer who actually goes above and beyond Ashley, is your lawyer.

I recently met with Mr. Todd D. Rothlisberger, Esq. and Ms. Amber Boyd after I was contacted by the Internal Revenue Service regarding a tax issue. I was getting ready to engage a tax-resolution company to assist me when a friend of mine recommended that I speak with a law firm with tax specialists instead, as he felt that would be a better course of action. After a concise and thorough initial meeting, which instilled confidence in me as to the competency of Mr. Rothlisberger and Ms. Boyd, I engaged the firm of Poole, Brooke, and Plumlee PC to operate on my behalf. The process was detailed and professional every step of the way. Their knowledge of the IRS process, system, and indeed even the IRS Agent himself, was clear from the outset and very comforting, given my unfamiliarity with and trepidation about the situation. The best-case scenario outcome was outlined to me at the appropriate point, and that was indeed the end result. I am extremely pleased with the resolution, given the circumstances, and I will not hesitate to give this firm my full endorsement to anyone who may be in a similar situation.

Shirley Chim was an absolute rock star in helping modify my original custody agreement to something that worked better for my family. She was helpful on so many levels and I can say she truly cares about her clients. I don't think I would've had the same outcome with anyone else. Shirley not only helped me with the modification, but she taught me how to deal with a narcissistic ex which was worth its weight in gold.

I reached out to this attorney for a consultation, hoping to get some guidance on my legal concerns. Unfortunately, I was met with a surprising attitude that left me feeling dismissed. Instead of the professional support I anticipated, I felt more like an inconvenience. I’m genuinely sad that my experience was so different from what other reviewers seem to have had. I was really hoping for a helpful consultation, but instead, I walked away feeling frustrated and undervalued. I can’t recommend this attorney based on my experience.

Shirley Chim helped me arrive at a negotiated custody agreement, with a difficult ex. I could not have asked for better representation and outcome. She was meticulousness, prepared, timely, and responsive. She confirmed the dignity of both parties. She placed me in the best possible position to negotiate and settle on terms that I was comfortable with.

I consulted and hired Justyn Baxley to help mitigate red flags on the SF-86.

Sarah is a spot on attorney who will fight for you but not take your lies. Be honest with her on everything and she will go to the mat with the best of them and win.

She wil guide you through this very difficult process and be honest with you and tell you the truth on both your behvaior and chances. Divorce is difficult and we tend to act out as human beings.

From the moment I had my initial consultation with Ms. Jamel Rowe, I knew I had found the right attorney. I was incredibly nervous and felt ashamed about having to go through this process, but Jamel put me at ease immediately. She created a safe, non-judgmental space where I felt comfortable opening up.
Jamel’s reputation as a "bulldog" in the courtroom was exactly what I needed. She is the epitome of professionalism, expertise, and skill, and I truly can't praise her enough. Her paralegal, Ms. Julia Brice, was consistently on top of everything, ensuring that things got done efficiently and effectively. I also had the pleasure of working closely with Mr. Carl Chandler, who was nothing short of outstanding. He is an exceptional attorney and a pleasure to collaborate with. Both Jamel and Carl fought tirelessly on my behalf, securing exactly what I was hoping for. I will always be grateful to them.
I must also mention Ms. Kathy at the front desk, who brightened my day each time I called or came into the office. I wholeheartedly recommend Livesay & Myers, PC – they are an incredible team!

There’s something to say about a woman who fiercely Defends a mother and her child. Julia is an intelligent, professional, dependable and extremely efficient family law attorney. I will always value the level of trust and safeness that Julia extended to me throughout my custody trial. I couldn’t have imagined going through such a painful even, without Julia in my corner, defending me at every step of the way. The level of knowledge that Julia has and her ability to showcase her years of experience in such a respectful but aggressive manor, makes the choice of retaining her, without a doubt, a decision that I will always be grateful for! If you are looking for results, endless hours of hard work and dedication, rest assured that Julia has it all!

Scheduled an appointment for consultation and when I received the appointment it was for a phone call.. I arranged my work schedule for that day to take the call at home for privacy as I work in an office of 2000 associates. She had her office to change my appointment time and move it up and I didn’t even get 24 hour notice that she needed to change the time. Then when I could not they attempted to change to the next day like I can just tell my job I am going to run out whenever I want. She then refused the consultation all together . Very unprofessional and rude.

Servicio Excepcional de MAAPS: ¡Tu Mejor Opción para Servicios de Apostilla y Traducción!
Recientemente tuve el placer de trabajar con MAAPS para una serie compleja de servicios necesarios para el procesamiento de la doble ciudadanía para mi hija menor. Las tareas incluyeron la recuperación de documentos del tribunal de Virginia Fairfax, el Triple Sello del Orden del Tribunal del Circuito de VA Fairfax, traducciones de inglés a español y viceversa, así como varios servicios de apostilla. MAAPS manejó todo con una eficiencia y precisión excepcionales.
Lo que realmente distinguió a MAAPS fue su compromiso con el servicio personalizado. Fueron físicamente a Washington, DC, para obtener las apostillas para los documentos de DC y realizaron el viaje a Richmond, Virginia, para las apostillas de VA. Además, tradujeron expertamente el certificado de matrimonio de Maryland, lo cual era esencial para nuestro proceso. Navegar por el laberinto burocrático de la doble ciudadanía—estadounidense y boliviana, con el siguiente paso siendo la ciudadanía española—fue abrumador. Sin embargo, MAAPS hizo que todo el proceso fuera fluido. Su profundo conocimiento y enfoque personalizado fueron evidentes en todo momento.
A diferencia de otras empresas que ofrecían respuestas automáticas y tarifas exorbitantes, MAAPS proporcionó un toque personal y una guía clara en cada paso del camino. Sus servicios no solo fueron exhaustivos, sino también rentables. Mientras que otras compañías me cotizaron miles de dólares, MAAPS ofreció un servicio de primera calidad por menos de lo que me habían cotizado, demostrando ser una inversión valiosa.
Si estás buscando lo mejor en servicios de apostilla y traducción, no busques más allá de MAAPS. Su experiencia, profesionalismo y dedicación a la satisfacción del cliente son incomparables. Recomiendo encarecidamente sus servicios a cualquiera que necesite asistencia eficiente, confiable y asequible.

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.
