Although my case needed to be closed, the lawyer who represented me (James) was great. He kept me informed every step of the way, and did everything he could. I would recommend them to anyone who needs representation in the event of a car accident. And I appreciate everything you guys did for me.

The person answering the phone is extremely professional, but forget everything getting any of these guys calling you back. I wouldn't give them any stars, but for the person who answered the phone. If you need an attorney that is there for you you, these guys are NOT IT. They never even have the common courtesy to return a call, and I had a family member who tried to use this form and for the exact same results. My recommendation is to not even try this bunch.

I hired Mr. Reed on a recommendation from a fellow nurse. I had found myself in a predicament with the nursing board that could have affected my ability to practice as a nurse and he was quick to take my case on. He made the process easy and comforting as we advanced through processes to further my case. I received contact information to follow up if I had concern or even anxiety relating to the outcomes. He worked on my case over the span of a couple years and was relentless to produce a favorable outcome in my circumstance which ended in my case dismissal. I couldn’t be more pleased with his services.

Dismissed! After a complaint against my license, I feel like I received a blessing when I was able to retain Todd Reed to represent my case to the board of nursing. From the first phone conversation with Todd, I felt at ease and trusted him to do the right thing in my best interest throughout the entire process. I can honestly say, going forward I had no more worry. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable and professional; he is a very genuine and compassionate person who tries to achieve the best possible outcome for nurses. Forget looking elsewhere for legal assistance---he is the professional you need!

I have been dealing with a complaint for over three years and finally got the case dismissed today! Mr. Reed has been there for me the entire time. The board wanted me to take a consent agreement that would be on my license forever but I didn’t take it and Mr. Reed got my case dismissed today! He knows what he is doing and educates you on your options and the best thing for you to do. Very happy I hired Mr. Reed.

He helped us prepare for the interview with a very positive pep talk. My immigration case has been difficult, but Eric chose to take my case on and has surpassed my expectations. Eric has been extremely supportive over this years-long process and I wouldn't have gotten this far without him. I honestly think he likes a challenge and he will not quit to make sure that his client gets the support and justice that they need. From start to finish, he was there every step of the way.

Mike was beyond amazing to work with. He is an incredible attorney and we got a favorable outcome on my case. From our first phone call he listened to me and was very sympathetic for my situation. I had spoke with several lawyers prior and they were not as kind or compassionate as he is. This was my first time needing a lawyer. Mike helped make the entire process smooth and not intimidating. He is very good at his job and does it with ease. He is also very reasonably priced. I fully recommend Mike if you are in need of an attorney. I hope to not need a criminal defense attorney in the future but if I do, Mike will be the one I call and who I refer people to.

Outstanding Divorce/Child Custody Lawyer – Highly Recommend! My case involved a divorce with children, filed by my ex-husband who lives in Ohio, while I reside in Minnesota. Despite my ex-husband and his lawyer insisting that the case should include child custody and be handled in Ohio, Catherine, who was well-versed in child custody laws, raised a key issue: under the UCCJEA (Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act), Ohio did not have jurisdiction over the children. The opposing party continued to push for a trial involving both the divorce and child custody in Ohio, even though this was legally improper. Ultimately, Catherine and I prevailed, as it was determined that Ohio lacked jurisdiction over the children under the UCCJEA. As a result, the divorce was finalized without any decisions made about custody, which would be addressed in Minnesota instead. I am so grateful for the exceptional legal support I received from Catherine during my divorce. Going through such a difficult and emotional time was incredibly stressful, but she made the entire process so much easier to navigate. From the initial consultation to the final resolution, Catherine was there every step of the way, providing not only expert legal advice but also compassionate support. Catherine truly understands the emotional complexities of divorce and handled my case with both professionalism and sensitivity. She took the time to listen to my concerns, answer all of my questions, and ensure I understood every step of the legal process. I always felt like my needs and best interests were a top priority. I also appreciated how responsive she was throughout the process. Whether it was a quick question or a more urgent matter, Catherine was always quick to respond and kept me updated on any developments in my case. If you’re looking for a divorce and child custody lawyer who is both experienced and empathetic, I highly recommend Catherine. She made a difficult experience more manageable, and I am deeply thankful for the support and expertise she provided.

Jeelani Law thoroughly processed everything throughout what was a near 18 month journey that culminated with my wife successfully entering the United States. While my legal assistants changed a couple times during the long wait it was ultimately Andon Sokolov with whom I worked with closely throughout consular processing. He did a great job and I always got the best insight into the process with JL.

Attorney Davis consistently responded to my questions quickly, ensuring I felt informed and supported every step of the way. Despite the challenges posed by a difficult opposing party, she successfully protected my custody arrangement, allowing me to keep my son in a stable environment. She also ensured that child support remained in place, which was critical for my son's well-being. Her expertise, professionalism, and dedication made all the difference.

My experience with the PA Davis Law Office has been excellent! Ms. Davis and her team provided invaluable assistance in updating a joint custody agreement while serving overseas in the military. Navigating the complexities of military service and updating a legal custody agreement could have been incredibly challenging, but Ms. Davis and her team handled it with expertise and professionalism. I had reached out to several attorneys, but due to the unique circumstances of my case and where i was stationed, they were unable to assist. Being from Maryland, I was relieved to find that the PA Davis Law Office team had the necessary expertise as they cover the DC/MD/VA area. The initial communication was a bit challenging because of the time zone difference pertaining to the update of the case, but Ms. Sofia and the team were extremely patient and understanding, which I really appreciated. I am grateful to Ms. Davis for taking on my case and to the entire team for their dedication and support throughout the process.

Joseph was the absolute best—if I could give more than 5 stars, I would! It was my first home purchase and first time hiring an attorney. I saw that he was rated the highest in my area and now I see why. The whole process of working with him could not have been easier! He was there every step of the way and through all the obstacles (believe me there were many). He was always on top of everything, would reach out with frequent updates from seller’s counsel, and would simplify the confusing legalese surrounding the entire process. From the custom riders to the initial sellers contract, the seamless attorney review phase, and much more, I couldn’t have asked for better than Joseph on my side. Well done, sir!

As many of you Veterans may know the claims process can be long and arduous and even painful at times. I had been wrestling with the VA and their claims process for many years before throwing my hands in the air. I saw a Facebook ad for Cameron firm, and at that point, I had all but given up. I kept seeing their Facebook ad come up, and I’m not sure what made me dig a little deeper, but I decided to read some of the comments that were below, and the feedback was so great I decided to give them a chance. I am so glad that I put my case in the hands of Jamie Kolpein, and Cameron firm. The result was more than I could ever of hope for. for some reason the process goes better when you have attorneys adept at wrestling the VA for you. If you’re sitting on the fence as to whether you should let them represent you, don’t. The little bit that comes out of your claim proceeds far outweighs, the pain and frustration that you will go through without them on your side.

Patrick helped me with a complicated and drawn out case. As a healthcare provider facing legal issues can be detrimental, so having good representation is a must. I met with various lawyers, but Patrick’s knowledge of military law, rules, and regulations was extremely impressive. During our consultation call, with no prior knowledge of my situation, he was able to tell me exactly what the case would entail, the outcomes that I could expect, and accurately reference Air Force guidance. From the moment he began representing me I felt supported. He immediately began communicating with my command and advocating for me. Patrick fought hard for me and thanks to him we had a favorable outcome.

I hired Patrick Korody to help with my clearance hearing related to a guideline F item. Mr. Korody worked with me to identify the evidence needed to present a strong case and present it in the best light possible. Thanks to his experience, expert advice, and clear communication with the opposing council my case was dismissed in my favor prior to the clearance hearing. Additional details: While searching for an lawyer to represent me, I contacted several law offices. While I was impressed by the questions and responses I received from a few lawyers, Mr. Korody actually asked me to provide a few documents related to my case. After reviewing the documents I provided, Mr. Korody called me back and provided me additional feedback on my case. It was this additional attention to detail and personal touch that gave me the confidence to hire Mr. Korody. As you'd imagine with the results provided above, I'm very happy with my decision to hire Patrick Korody.

It was very pleasant working with Mr. Korody. During the free consultation, he gave me sound advice on what to do if I wanted to represent myself and also what he can do as my attorney. I chose to hire him because I didn't want to risk losing my clearance from any mistakes or lack of information I might have submitted on my own. Mr. Korody was very detailed and his communication level was excellent. I felt confident that he would resolve the issues with my clearance and he did! My clearance went through and I'm thankful to be able to celebrate the holidays without having that burden on my mind. I definitely would recommend him! He's an amazing attorney and a great person.

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!

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.

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.

Like many Veterans, I filed a claim with the VA for a host of illnesses, to include two bouts of kidney cancer, which resulted in the removal of half of my right kidney and complete removal of my left. As a result, I have been on daily dialysis for the past two + years. After receiving the VA rejection letter, I spoke with an old Air Force buddy and close friend who several years ago also filed and was rejected. He told me that after fighting the VA for nearly five years, he reached out to Attorney Eagle. Attorney Eagle took his case and began the appeal process which resulted in a 100 % service connected ruling from the VA. I put off calling her and my buddy kept pestering me to pick up the phone and to give her a call. Finally, I quit stalling and gave her a call. I knew within the first minute of speaking with her that she was a fighter and that her mission in life is helping Veterans like my buddy and I to get the benefits we deserved. We talked for a good 30 minutes and then I heard her say “You have a case “. That’s all I needed to hear. She went right to work on my appeal and within a reasonable amount of time, I got the call that the VA had reviewed my appeal and I was rated 100 percent service connected disabled. I could hear in her voice how excited she was to be able to tell me that. So, if you are looking for someone to help you appeal the VA denial of your claim, you should look no further than Attorney Katrina Eagle! If she takes your case, she will work her heart out to get you the benefits you have earned and deserve. She will stay in touch with you every step of the way and will always respond to your calls or email. She is simply an amazing Attorney and a real champion for Veterans and their families.

I served in United States Air Force from 1970 – 1974. I was stationed at Anderson Air Force Base in Guam from 1971-1973, as fuel specialist. During that time, I was exposed to many different toxic chemicals including Agent Orange. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2011 and then two years later with thyroid cancer, the residual effects dramatically affected not only me but my family. After speaking with a representative for the Missouri Veterans Commission, I submitted a claim for exposure to Agent Orange. That claim was immediately denied. After this denial, the representative suggested I seek legal representation and was given the name of Katrina Eagle, Esq. Veterans Law Attorney. Little did I know then the dedication, tenacity and compassion this woman would show me for the next ten years! Over the course of the last ten years, numerous denials, frustrations and moments of utter disappointment and lack of the energy to continue this fight occurred, however Katrina was always there never wavering in her support and encouragement to not give up the fight. The Board of Veterans Affairs (BVA) denied our claims several times, the cases were then submitted to the US Courts of Appeals not once but twice and both times the Courts sent them back to the BVA for review. Thanks to Katrina and Jim Radogna’s continued support, knowledge and empathy for me, I am now at 100% disability. Never could I have imagined this outcome and will forever be thankful for their continuous support and encouragement to never give up the fight!

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.
