I saw John after he was recommended to me by another member of the Saginaw Home Builders Association. He did a great job of helping me transfer my business into an LLC., took care of all the state and federal paperwork, and met with me at a time that was very convenient for me. I would highly recommend John to anyone with business legal concerns.

He stayed in contact with every step of the way. I would recommend Ken over and over again. Kenneth is concerned as well and honest. I was referred to some great doctors through the process of my case. Kenneth is awesome and I have nothing to say but great things.

Finding Kenneth to help settle my DBA claim was the best thing I ever did! I had hired two different attorneys prior to finding Kenneth. They were the reasons people make jokes about attorneys. Kenneth quickly went to work on my case, kept me informed each step of the way, explained clearly how the system works, and was always available to help me with even the smallest details! His office staff were awesome and supportive as well. They frequently reached out to me to see how I was doing. When the time came to negotiate the financial settlement, he was very well prepared and he negotiated a settlement that was triple what I thought I would get! He is a kind and compassionate man and always treated me with respect. I was amazed that he could organize all the materials and medical records that had accumulated over several years before I found him. He understands how the opposition works as he had once worked on their team. His experience working the other side of the isle gave him a clear understanding of the best way to handle the claim that would get me the best medical care as well as build a case for a large settlement. I will always be indebted to him for the work he has done to get a settlement that will allow me to have the best financial and medical future possible. He is the genuine article, and from my previously negative experience with attorneys that never returned calls, lost documents, kept me in a holding pattern for years, Kenneth helped me regain my faith in our legal system. He quickly organized all the documents and moved my medical treatment forward. He advocated for the treatment that I felt would benefit me the most. He also patiently explained the DBA to doctors so that they would document my case clearly and bill the appropriate entities. When I had questions, he would answer them clearly and quickly. I never felt like just a claim number. Working in a war zone brings its own set of issues, and he was able to restore hope and optimism. He kept me informed about any and all progress on my claim. I will always be grateful that he was my attorney! More importantly, I will always consider him a dear friend.

Shannon Wilson has firmly guided me through my child custody case for six years, including a relocation and an appeal that were successful. Her preparation and attention to detail is unparalleled. She taught me patience and discipline through this challenging and emotional process, which motivated me to be a better person, father, and coparent. Professionally, Shannon goes above and beyond, is diligent, and has a tireless work ethic that is unmatched. Personally, Shannon is genuine and compassionate, but strict. I'm not perfect and have made my mistakes, but Shannon has always encouraged me to focus on the best interest of my child and to always foster his relationship with his mother regardless of our differences. I am grateful and honored to be represented by Shannon and will continue to value her guidance and leadership.

I am a small business owner in Chicago and received a ticket for displaying a small chalkboard sign advertising what my business does. When I appeared in court I was told I needed a lawyer to represent me due to the fact that I am incorporated. Nowhere on the ticket did it indicate that I would need a lawyer - most of the business owners left with a revised court date which I found incredibly disruptive. Forcing hardworking business owners to take yet another day off of work, and leaving them with the task of finding a lawyer who would likely take advantage of the situation. I found Erik outside of the court room with a smile and he was so eager to help me. I didn't have to reschedule or take any further time off of work. He refiled my paper work and came in to the court room with me not more than ten minutes after we met. One of the charges was dropped (the city's error) and the original charge was the minimum fine. He made a potentially horrible situation pleasant with his polite manner, can do attitude and friendly smile. God forbid I ever need a lawyers services again, I will most certainly be calling him. Thanks, Erik!

I had was charged with violating probation and failure to complete classes , fine , and my outstanding jail time on a previous DUI violation. She actually took the time to go over the details of my case in person and also showed extreme empathy for what I was going through personally .. Jacqueline was able to convey all my positive attributes and actions taken to satisfy my requirements with the court. The Judge reviewed and verified the actions that I took to remedy my outstanding requirements to the court, and ruled my case as fulfilled and completed. I saved approxx 2 k in fines, approx 30 days of weekends jail time, and 2 years probation! I thank you Jacqueline for all your hard work and efforts !

At the capacity of Public Defender, they are commonly referred to as Public Pretenders. With that said, I was apprehensive and did not expect anything except the normal going through the motions for the paycheck. Miss Burgos went above the call of duty and was ready to fight for me all the way to trial. She stuck with my innocence until proven guilty. I was not found guilty nor railroaded with a sham deal. I walked out of the case without a bruise. I would hire her on a heartbeat. She practices law as an experienced top notch lawyer. Extraordinary.

Mr. Rodney Montes, Attorney is an expert at the rule of law of the Texas Board Of Nursing and the Texas Medical Board. The Texas Board Of Nursing (BON) served me with allegations such as "sleeping, medication errors, and assault" while on duty. I hired Mr. Montes to respond to the Board Of Nursing allegations. As a result, the Board did not take any action against me and the investigation was completed and closed based on my attorney's response to the board. That's the outcome of hiring an attorney like Mr. Rodney Montes with years of experiences and expert knowledge in the rule of law and proceeding of the Texas Board Of Nursing and the Texas Medical Board.

Her work ethic and the way that she is "on top" of the situation has made the process come along in a timely manner, that otherwise could've been drug out over a longer period of time.

Rory helped me recover over $10k of unemployment benefits which was previously denied to me by ESD WA. I’m a long-time remote worker who decided to briefly pause my job search to focus on taking care of my spouse, who had back surgery. I also traveled overseas while continuously looking for remote work. Before hiring Rory, I researched how I could appeal my case on my own. There weren’t a lot of good sources online, and since this was my first time claiming any unemployment benefits, I decided to hire a lawyer. From the first free initial interview until the hearing day, Rory has been professional, patient, and easy to talk to. He educated me on the appeal process and set realistic expectations without overpromising. I appreciate his responsiveness and graciousness in extending our meetings as needed, which reflects his commitment to exceptional service and client satisfaction. During my hearing, he provided references to the judge of previous winning cases that were similar to my case. I believe those references greatly helped my cause. I found out about pro-bono or donation-based services like his after hiring him. That could be an option too. Knowing Rory used to work as an Administrative Law Judge on unemployment insurance appeals gave me confidence that paying for his services was worth it.

Many qualities differentiate Rick from other attorneys, but one that most fascinates me is his keen ability to accurately predict what the opposing side is going to say or do and to readily anticipate and prepare for any and all options. He seems to always stay two steps ahead of his adversaries. Rick has an expansive knowledge of the law in many areas and specialties. His advice is always spot-on.

But, on a matter relating to my family, I've had the extreme pleasure of working with Jason Shaw for the preceding 2 years. Mr. Shaw's level of knowledge, professionalism and proficiency is only surpassed by his level of ethics, warmth and real personal interaction with his clients. His demeanor in the professional setting is of the highest level, yet his mannerism in his interactions with his clients is one of caring, concern, sincere counsel and just plain wonderful humanity. I cannot say enough about this excellent example of what a genuine legal counselor really is. It has been a wonderful experience to work with a real counselor, in every sense of the word.

Jason represented our group which opposed a proposed industrial scale gravel mine in our residential neighborhood. Mining was allowed with a special use permit. This required extensive review of many documents, familiarity with zoning and mining law, and attendance at Planning Board and Town Board meetings. Jason spoke extemporaneously at these meetings and cogently put forward our position. His expertise was instrumental in convincing the town board to establish a moratorium on new mining applications which led to the town revising its zoning to prohibit new mines in the residential areas of town.

Mr. Sharma has demonstrated a high level of professionalism from the day I met him. He has handled the all liquor license application in a very smooth and effective manner that lead to obtaining the license in less than 7 weeks. I wish he could also be the general contractor for my restaurant! :)

I found myself in a situation that no mother thinks could happen to her children and when I truly needed someone to listen and help Adam was that person! He went above and beyond. He took on my case like it was his own children. When I truly felt like there was no hope Adam didn’t stop. He made sure the judge heard the truth and without him I don’t think my outcome would’ve been the same. Even after a victory in court I found myself still needing Adam’s counsel, he stayed with me through it all and did not stop until my daughter was back in my arms! If you find yourself in need of an attorney who will take on your case and truly not stop fighting for you Adam is the guy! I can never thank him enough for helping me and my daughters!

I was charged with 2 Felonies, both heinous in nature. I was able to speak to Mr. Cumberworth about the case and I felt immediately like he would be a major asset for our team. During my trial, we demolished the State. He gave the most brilliant cross-examination in an extremely tense affair, but the course of my case turned instantly. It was abundantly clear that we had won after that moment. My exposure to all legal proceedings is fairly limited, but I will say that watching him dismantle to the 2 prosecutors was like watching a professional athlete take on a varsity athlete. They were “playing the same sport”, but at far different levels. If you want an attorney who will listen to your concerns and go to battle for you, I promise you will not be disappointed in Mr. Cumberworth. The state/opposing attorneys may wish you had gotten someone else, but you will be glad you retained this man.

Brilliant strategists!! I had a very serious issue. I was charged with 3 counts of a serious crime which led to almost a 2 week trial. The events leading up to this trial happened 3 years ago, but they stuck with me the whole time. I am not sure how they are able to do it, but with Mr. Lawrence's help we pulled a win. I plead not guilty to all 3 charges and if I was convicted of even 1 of them I would have lost my career and my life as I know it. So I really commend what these gentlemen do and being able to their job when they have so many other cases to work. Thank you again Mr. Lawrence and Mr. Wakefield for the work and dedication you have put into my case which has allowed me to continue forward with my life and career in the Navy.

Jon was always on time in response to the courts and fair when giving advise on the options of the situation. When it came time for the military appearance the odds were against us. Jon’s expertise and knowledge of the law resulted in winning the case with the most favorable result. His knowledge of the rules, regulation, and current policies in place proved the the action presented by the military unlawful, and unfair. Overall I am highly satisfied with my time spent with Jon and would recommend him to any one.

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.
  • 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.
