I am an attorney who had a pointless grievance filed against me. the problem is that it was mostly "he said, she said" about what happened. Mr. Fischer very politely and professionally cross-examined the complainant so that he got angry with the disciplinary panel and stormed off. The grievance wasrightly dismissed almost immediately. If you have a grievance filed against you, this man is an angel. I recommend him 6 out of 5 stars.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional work Steven Fischer did on my case. With my limited knowledge, navigating this legal situation would have been incredibly difficult, but Steven took the time to walk me through every step, working tirelessly to ensure I understood the process. Despite the challenges we faced with both knowledge and finances, he met me at every turn, showing the kind of dedication and care that felt more like a family member helping out than just an attorney doing his job. Steven's empathy and understanding of my situation, especially as a veteran, were truly remarkable. While many lawyers might charge exorbitant fees for overtime work, Steven was compassionate and worked within my financial means. He put in the extra hours without hesitation, demonstrating a genuine commitment to helping me resolve my case. I learned so much along the way with Steven’s guidance. His expertise and empathy made the entire experience smoother, and I would recommend him to anyone in need of legal support. A word of advice: have all your information ready and correct, and with Steven Fischer on your side, the process will be fast, smooth, and handled with the utmost care.

Mr. Fischer helped me through my divorce with a child. He was God sent, he put up a good fight in court and got exactly what I asked for when it came to the custody and child support. He really answers everything you are curious about, and he will tell you how it is if it’s not reasonable. He was always a call or text away and helped my daughter and I through so much. Very grateful and thankful for his services. Not to mention his doggos, they helped a lot through the case too.

Mandy Kelly has been my VA representative since October of 2011, beginning at the University of Detroit Mercy Law School at the Veterans Clinic. Through her work she won my appeal on my original denied VA disability claim. Through the years, Mandy has represented me on several other difficult appeals and has won them all. Her thorough understanding of the VA regulations, her preparation and review of the required documentation, resulted in winning all of my VA appeals. I have recommended several friends and relatives to Mandy, and she has help them all win VA appeals. I highly recommend Mandy Kelly, and her staff at Disability Law Group, to work on your Veterans Administration appeals.

Even though he was doing his reserve time, he called me on his free time to get the case going. He has a wonderful paralegal "Lena" who also was very helpful and kind. No matter how many questions I had, she always was patient and nice. The two work very well together and in a timely matter. I was very very satisfied!

After more than five years of representing myself in the VA appeal system, I found Dr. Anaise purely by chance one day by looking for VA attorneys who had experience in preparing IMOs and appeals. Was I ever lucky to have found him. After he carefully reviewed my case and medical records, he agreed to represent me just before I completed my last C&P exam. If you are lucky enough to have him represent you, you are off to an excellent start and I found his work, and that of his associate Sharon, impeccable. Dr. Anaise is a great attorney and the best you can find. He certainly delivered on my case and I was fortunate to be represented by him.

Dr. Anaise helped with my VA medical claim for obstructive sleep apnea after I found him through hours of online research and comparison. I could tell by the reviews that I was making the best choice for me…and now I absolutely know I did! I contacted him through his online portal and I was contacted the very next business day. The email was detailed with regards to his opinion regarding my case, information that was needed from me, cost for his service, and the timeline. Unfortunately, not sure why, but I hesitated. Big mistake! When I finally sent my information about a month later, there was constant communication. I not only received my IMO when I was told I would receive it, but it very detailed! I’m no medical expert, but after reading through it, I just knew I made the best choice! After I reviewed it, it was then finalized by Dr. Anaise and emailed back to me the very next day. The hard copy was also mailed out two days later! The promptness of Dr. Anaise and Dr. Benham cannot be denied! The only delay in this entire process was when I waited to submit my information to him! I was granted 100% VA disability (less than two months later). The information from Dr. Anaise was clear, service was prompt, and quality was exceptional. I have already started recommending Dr. Anaise to other veterans and wish that I had found him a whole lot sooner!!!

I retained Dr. Anaise to assist me with a VA medical claim for obstructive sleep apnea after doing extensive research on field experts. Communication with his team was timely and efficient. They answered all of my questions fully, and explained everything plainly. Dr. Anaise took the time to carefully review my case before accepting it, then wrote an Independent Medical Opinion based on my military medical records. The work product I received and submitted to the VA contained irrefutable proof, research, and evidence that was overwhelming and clearly laid out. It enabled me to have my claim favorably adjudicated quickly and without additional evidence or documentation being solicited. What an absolute professional and champion for veterans rights, I could never come close to fully explaining how helpful he and his team were. I whole heartedly endorse Dr. Anaise and his team, and hope other veterans are able to use his services for successful outcomes.

When I was put under investigation with my Command pending Court Martial, I didn't know who to turn to for help. Thankfully I came across MJA's law firm website and immediately hired Mr. Hill after consultation and looking over their reviews. After 7 long months of waiting, the week of my Court Martial came and I would see the fearlessness and confidence of Mr. Hill in the courtroom. He tore apart the government's theory piece by piece which would result in the outcome in our favor. I trusted him with my career on the line, and he was outstanding. I 10/10 would highly recommend Mr. Hill to anyone who is going through legal challenges with their command.

I was fortunate to stumble upon Mr. Hill during my initial search for legal representation back in September of 2021. My command suspected me of disobeying a lawful order and started processing me for separation. Through the diligent work of Mr. Hill and his fellow associates, the Administrative Separations Board members determined 'No Basis' for the allegations against me. It was a direct result of the countless hours Mr. Hill put into the written matters of the case that paved the road to victory. Every 6105 and adverse fit-rep the command issued was subsequently countered and torn apart. Mr. Hill is an unrelenting force within the legal sphere, working until the work is done. If not for the dedication to craft, that Mr. Hill demonstrates on a daily basis, the outcome of the case would have been significantly different. If you are seeking legal assistance, seek no further. You have already found the best.

I cannot speak highly enough of Bob Bennet and the exceptional legal representation he provided during my character and fitness hearing before the Texas Board of Law Examiners. His expertise and dedication were instrumental in securing the approval of my character and fitness to practice law in Texas. From our very first meeting, Mr. Bennet demonstrated a deep understanding of the nuances involved in character and fitness evaluations. He took the time to thoroughly review my case, asking insightful questions and offering candid advice that proved invaluable throughout the process. What truly sets Mr. Bennet apart is his ability to navigate complex legal proceedings with both professionalism and compassion. He meticulously prepared our case, leaving no stone unturned in gathering supporting evidence and crafting compelling arguments. His attention to detail and strategic approach were evident in every aspect of our preparation. During the hearing itself, Mr. Bennet's presence was nothing short of impressive. He articulated our position with clarity and conviction, effectively addressing any concerns raised by the Board. His extensive knowledge of Texas law and the bar admission process shone through in his eloquent presentation and quick thinking. Perhaps most importantly, Mr. Bennet's unwavering support and guidance helped ease the stress and anxiety that naturally come with such a critical proceeding. He kept me informed at every step, patiently explaining complex legal concepts and always making himself available to address my questions and concerns. The positive outcome of my hearing is a testament to Mr. Bennet's skill, dedication, and effectiveness as an attorney. Thanks to his efforts, I can now pursue my legal career in Texas with confidence, knowing that my character and fitness have been thoroughly vetted and approved. I wholeheartedly recommend Bob Bennet to anyone seeking top-tier legal representation, especially in matters related to professional licensing and character and fitness evaluations. His expertise, professionalism, and commitment to his clients' success make him an invaluable ally in any legal proceeding. Thank you, Mr. Bennet, for your outstanding service and for playing such a crucial role in launching my legal career in Texas.

His deep understanding of the law, coupled with valuable relationships within the Board of Law Examiners (BOLE), made a significant difference in resolving my case with them. His direct approach and deep knowledge led to a swift and favorable resolution. Bob is not only a skilled attorney but also genuinely empathetic, making a stressful situation much more manageable.

Working with Mr. Jemming has been absolutely fantastic. He is understanding and informative, helping me make decisions that work best for me in my case. Mr. Jemming explained the consequences for both sides of either fighting the case or taking a deal. I decided to fight, and the outcome thus far as been in my favor. Thank you to Jemming Law I was able to make an informed decision and come out on top because of the knowledge Mr. Jemming provided to me before hand. I know that Jemming Law is the best defense I could ask for and that I have put my faith in the right hands.

Before every step he lays out all of what is going to happen and is sure to answer any questions you need. Very timely to respond to inquiries or reach out if new information arises. Looked over the minor details of my case to bring up and use to my advantage. Did calls before court appearances to explain what advantages and disadvantages l there were in the case and after to explain what everything meant and any court jargon I was confused with. Acquired a surprising and positive verdict for me while showing honor and determination.

When my small construction company became involved in civil litigation, my contractor’s insurance provided my company with a capable defense, but hiring Ms. Megan Goetz to represent me personally is what led to a much better outcome than I ever would have believed possible. Throughout the process, Ms. Goetz provided exactly the right level of involvement, advising me which steps could be handled by my corporate attorney and which decisions needed her input, saving me thousands of dollars. As the trial date approached, I walked into the Pence and MacMillan conference room for mediation, thinking that by the end of the day, I might need a referral to a bankruptcy attorney. Instead, Ms. Goetz ensured that my insurance company provided maximum coverage while minimizing the impact on my company, and successfully brought the whole matter to a quick resolution. Ms. Goetz gave me my company and my life back, and I highly recommend her!

He was knowledgeable, upfront, honest and to the point as to how things would go moving forward with him. Just when I thought I'd never get my disability approved, Mr. Feeman made sure I got it.

If you're dealing with a disability issue and need a lawyer to help you get your Social Security benefits, your best bet is to contact Mr. Freeman and retain him as your lawyer, he's absolutely the best. My husband passed away last July and in addition to the immense sadness I was going through, I was also at a loss of what I would be able to do, and if I could receive windows disability social security. I'm disabled and have never dealt with applying for SSD because I had heard so many bad stories about people losing their cases after years of trying, but with my husband gone I had no means to support myself financially and decided that I'd better get a lawyer and just hope for the best. I decided to retain Mr. Freeman and am forever grateful that I did, because rather than just hoping for the best, I got the best!! In addition to being a wonderful lawyer, Mr. Freeman is also a wonderful person. He took my case and was available for me anytime I had a question or was confused about the paperwork that Social Security needed me to fill out. I recall that at one point, after I had already sent Social Security copies of my marriage certificate, they sent me a letter of denial for my widows disability case, saying that my husband and I were never married. I called Mr Freeman in tears, not only had I just lost my husband of 23 years, but now they're saying that we weren't married!! Mr. Freeman calmed me down and said he'd take care of it, which he did. I have never in my life had to deal with a lawyer, and never needed one as much as I did during this terrible time in my life, like I stated before, he's the best!! I'm so thankful that Mr. Freeman was my lawyer, fighting for me to receive the benefits I was entitled to, and ultimately winning my case for me. The paperwork and proof about my disability, that he submitted to the Judge showed how thorough Mr. Freeman is at his job. The day before my hearing, the Judge called Mr. Freeman and said there would be no need for the hearing, that all of the paperwork and evidence for my disability case was perfect and I was granted a full favorable decision regarding my widows disability case. Due to the Covid situation, I never had the chance to see Mr Freeman in person, but if given the chance, I would of wanted to give him a giant hug of gratitude. Thank you Mr. Freeman, Mrs. Freeman and your team of experts, I don't know what I would do without having you on my side. May God bless all of you.

If you are reading this chances are you are in a difficult situation. When I was facing an investigation and up against the one sided juggernaut that an Army investigation is I didn’t know where to turn. I was facing 30 years in prison and my 19 year career was on the line. After talking to a few different civilian attorneys I found Lance. He immediately sent me a text message and after learning what was going on he got out of bed to call me and discuss my situation. After discussing his approach I knew he was the one to help me. After hiring him he continued to amaze me by his legal knowledge and his skills to approach CID and the command. Lance was always responsive. Anytime I reached out to him he stopped whatever he was doing to answer my questions, make phone calls to protect my rights and anything else that came up. In the end the command decided not to prefer any charges because of Lances ability to present exculpatory evidence that proved my defense. Do yourself a favor and stop reading reviews and call Lance right away.

In all, Mr. Youngner's level of expertise and communication skills were direct, insightful and complete, enabling optimum case resolution. I simply cannot compliment Mr. Youngner enough for all his truly exceptional work, completed on my behalf, including responding to an urgent legal matter during his personal time off.

I had been seeking justice for many years on my own, but it was to no avail due to the tangled administrative and military laws and lack of support. I finally found Larry at what felt like the last hour, because I couldn't fight anymore. Larry heard me, and not only believed in my case, but he believed in me and the cause. It was an intense case and after all these years of hardship and trauma I was finally made whole and it is absolutely attributed to the in-depth expertise, unique approach, and genuineness of Larry. He spoke the truth in the most honorable and strategic manner and the military finally heard me, because Larry stood up for what was just. I couldn't believe it, but I received a positive outcome in less than 4 weeks after the military board heard my case through Larry. For any individual seeking justice, through not just a lawyer, but through someone who is actually compassionate, straightforward, positive, and fully vested in you, then look no further. Larry is a rare lawyer, because he is first a human and he invests everything he has and more to support you first, and the rest will follow.

In my opinion, Mr. Youngner is a very sharp attorney and advocate. He communicates clearly (and is available). After reviewing my case, Mr. Youngner found more than two additional points of noncompliance by the offending department in my appeal for correction. Mr. Youngner and his team kept me informed of the status of my case at regular intervals. He sets reasonable expectations and meets them. Dealing with a large and impersonal bureaucracy, a person needs an advocate as effective as Mr. Youngner. I highly recommend Mr. Youngner.

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.
