I am a business man and have been fighting with my landlord for almost 8 years. Before I hired attorney Park, I had have six attorneys who speak English as their first language. When none of the English speaking attorneys could not resolve my case, Mr. Park, who speaks English as a second language, won my case at trial and resolved it to my satisfaction. Mr. Park has been working as my attorney for almost 3 years and I feel lucky to have him as my attorney. He is a very sophisticated, smart, detail-orientated attorney. I highly recommend that you try him out as your attorney.

Attorney John Kakinuki tremendously helped me with my divorce proceedings. He said divorce wasn’t his specialty but mine was an international marriage and he is expert in international work and was recommended by mutual friends in our church, so he worked hard to make sure everything went right. He provided me with excellent service. He gave me a lot of professional advised as to how and what I should expect from the court. He is very very professional, very knowledgeable. I was so impressed by his work ethics. My case went quick and smoothly because he paid attention to all the details and paperwork’s required by the court. Honestly at that time I don’t care about anything. Divorce was a nightmare for me. All I know is I just want it done and get over it. Even today when I should forget the proceedings. I still recall how Attorney John Kakinuki treated my case very well. He gained my respect and admiration because he was not only there to represent but he also gave me emotionally support and I felt it. He is such a great lawyer with integrity and a big heart. If you need legal advice or question I will definitely, highly recommend Attorney John Kakinuki and you will not regret it.

I was referred to John Kakinuki by a  former colleague from the Baker & Mackenzie law firm. He was recommended as a professional with great integrity and an impressive history of experience in litigation and Intellectual Property both in the US and in Japan. Even though my case was not related to intellectual property, John Kakinuki agreed to meet me and advise me about a case in Japan involving my family. From the very first meeting, I was impressed by his compassion and sense of justice as he provided me valuable advice at no charge.  Mr. Kakinuki demonstrated a profound knowledge of the Japanese justice system and Japanese lawyers' work ethics. He speaks with the confidence of many years of professional experience with litigation in Japan and in the US. John Kakinuki reached out to his network of law professionals in Japan and procured a Japanese lawyer that spoke English and was willing to work for my family (who actually lives in Brazil). This was an enoumous help given the fact that the majority of Japanese lawyers will not work for foreigners. Mr. Kakinuki kindly initiated our first contact with the lawyer in Japan and helped us get started with our case.  I would highly recommend John Kakinuki as a lawyer. He is an impressive litigator who presents arguments and facts based on knowledge and experience when giving advice. I have great respect and admiration for his professionalism.

I have dealt with and hired many lawyers over my years. Personally, I have never experienced a lawyer who is so diligent in their works. Mr. Walters did much case law research and was extremely prepared for trial. During trial he brought forth excellent argument and handled himself in a professional manner.

This fine gentleman took me out for some Texas BBQ and we talked a little business. I told him I was stuffed and he smiled and said, "you're not done yet!". He then spoon-fed me some of the best potato salad I've ever had. And then we talked some more about my case. I spilled some peach cobbler on my shoes and he pulled out a handkerchief and within seconds it was gone. What a classy man! I am really feeling optimistic about my case and am very glad to have met such a fine gentleman. I know I am in good legal hands.

He took on the challenge and stuck with us through the four and a half month ordeal. He was very professional and came to closing himself. He was a man of the highest intellect and integrity and I would not hesitate to hire his services in the future. He and his assistant Carla also helped remedy an $8,000 mistake on the paper work by the bank. I cannot say enough good words about this man and his very professional services, we are 100% blown away by how excellent of a job he and Carla did. And we love our new home!

Mr. Sapienza is the most honest, straight forward, no holds barred man I have ever met. I was hurt at work in 1999. I had 3 back surgeries between 2000 and 2002 and I was only in my early twenties and couldn't work. I applied for social security disability and was denied. I knew it was time to find an attorney and get the legal help I needed. Two small mouths at home to feed and a husband that was working 3 jobs just to keep food in our mouths was the hard journey we were facing. When I first met Mr. Sapienza he told me he would take my case, but that we had a hard fight ahead of us. He told me I had two strikes against me already, one, I was young and two, I didn't look like I was disabled. I just wanted to cry. I couldn't lift over 5lbs, I had to have help washing my hair and I could even pick up my two young daughters. Mr. Sapienza looked at and said " I said it wasn't going to be easy, but I will fight for you!" I felt a wave of relief and the journey started. I called Mr. Sapienza frequently frustrated with the slow government process and each time he took my calls or called me back within 24 hours. Each time he answered ALL my questions, explained all the technical jargon in laymans terms and would tell me to hang in there and not give up. We filled out form after form and waited patiently for the next step. In the end we ended up in Pittsburgh in front of the Workers Compensation review board, I underwent a gruelling physical and demanding questions all with my smiling, encouraging attorney by my side. I was determined disabled and started to cry. It is one thing to know you have disabilities, but its something totally different to be told that you are basically useless. I thanked Mr. Sapienza for sticking by me with all the odds against me and for putting up with all my neurotic pestering. I stayed on Disability until around 2005 and many bouts of physical therapy. I have since gone back to work, took college courses for a medical career and have been working ever since for a local doctors office. Mr. Sapienza taught me that a disability isn't my life, it's just a stepping stone along the way. Thank you again Mr. Sapienza, you are an absolutely amazing attorney, man and all around human being. God bless.

Mr. Sapienza took my call and helped me stay calm till we meet the following day. He went to bat once again and assured us that the issue would get handled. And of course it did. He took the time to meet with us and help us through everything. My family will always trust and use Attorney Sapienza.

I am a physician who had never hired a lawyer before to perform a contract review, and I paid for it dearly on my first go-round. This time around, I found Justin, and what an incredible difference he has made. Not only was he courteous, prompt, knowledgeable, and available when I needed him, but he was also extremely professional and very kind. He called exactly when he said he would, he emailed me edits exactly when he said he would, and he offered ideas and suggestions that I hadn't thought of myself. And to top it off, he negotiated all of the agreed upon changes with my new employer without me having to lift a finger. He emailed back and forth with them, spoke to them on the phone about my desired contractual changes, and he really advocated for my best interest. And the whole time he kept me in the loop, with full transparency of the conversations he was having with my employer, which allowed us to modify our strategy and requests live. By the end of the process, I got most of what I was looking for in terms of requested changes, including a lot of "big ticket" items that were especially important for me. Oh, and he also provided me with a market analysis of my employer's compensation package, which allowed me to know where I stacked up nationwide in terms of fair market compensation. I also liked that he remained objective in his counseling of me; he didn't fill my head with smoke or anything like that. He was honest and earnest throughout the entire process, which is a very rare quality amongst people nowadays. All in all, this was an absolutely GREAT experience, and I will be using Justin and his company exclusively in the future should I ever need these types of services again.

A year ago, I found myself in a tough position. I had just gotten a DUI, and as a member of the armed forces I was notified that my security clearance would be under review. My job in the military is my sole source of income, and if I lost my security clearance, rightfully so I would lose my position. I was told that I had thirty days to provide a rebuttal, so I had to act fast. I knew I needed a lawyer with an extensive background in security clearance law. I did some research, and within a few days I had found Mr. Ciuca. Once I contacted Tony and explained my situation, he wasted no time at all. Within a week, he helped me gather all of the paperwork I needed and provided me with an outline of how he was going to draft my rebuttal to the security clearance review board. Soon after, he authored a rebuttal letter for me, and after a day or two, I submitted my final response to the review board. A few months later, I was notified that I would be able to keep my security clearance. I can’t express the gratitude that I have for Tony. He was right there with me every step of the way, and wasted no time. His speedy and well drafted response helped to save my career, and for that I will be forever grateful.

I was pleased with the outcome because he believed in me and fought for me until he was able to come to an understanding that both the DA and I could accept. This was not a plea bargain either!

Attorney Sembrot, through his extensive legal knowledge and personal dedication, secured for me a favorable resolution of two misdemeanor criminal charges. Throughout his representation, he was both incredibly approachable and communicative, updating me of my case progress, while simultaneously helping to ease the tension that naturally accompanies any criminal charge. His mastery of PA criminal procedure and his kind demeanor made him both a tremendous legal asset as well as an excellent guide. The criminal arena at first seemed counter intuitive and insurmountable. Attorney Sembrot changed that by bringing perspective and a sense of security. For those reasons, I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone needing an exceptional legal team.

Brandon McKenzie more than lives up to his reputation as the “Airbnb lawyer.” He and his firm have helped me navigate complex real estate matters and Airbnb regulations and legislation. Our association hired Brandon as a lobbyist, and he was successful in lobbying for the defeat of an ill-conceived bill that would have outlawed or unreasonably restricted short-term rentals. Legislators have since adopted a considerable amount of the language he drafted in a competing bill, so we are now much closer to a common sense piece of legislation that will serve the interest of all stakeholders involved.

Esquire Mckenzie was recommended to me and I hired him to represent me before the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings (OATH) and yet he delivered fantastic results (all dismissed) and spared me from financial ruin. I will be forever grateful to him. As an attorney, he was courteous, compassionate, knowledgeable, well prepared, and detail oriented. Brandon, thank you so much! I had an inner feeling that I had to hire you and I am glad I listened to it. Look forward to working with you in the future...

Hello, Mr. Jordan handled a case for me and was very professional, always on time and detailed in his investigation of information in my case, We did reset the case a few times, But ultimately this case was dismissed which was exactly how I wanted it! He will work with you as well , And always returns your calls. I would retain him again if needed. Regards, Ms. I.

Attorney Jordan is thorough, professional, kind-hearted and most importantly he GETS THE JOB DONE. From our initial consultation he was very considerate of my unique situation; As an out of state full-time professional student, my future was at stake for a crime that was completely out of my character and that would surely hinder my my career pursuits if convicted guilty. As a first time offender with so much on the line, Attorney Jordan fought my case and got it COMPLETELY DISMISSED. I took an 8 hour online theft course and that was it..NO FINE, NO COMMUNITY SERVICE.. just a class. I had high hopes when I hired Attorney Jordan but he has far surpassed my expectations. A case dismissal in Houston is rare; so, that alone speaks volumes. But to say the least, I truly believe that Attorney Jordan will do all that he can for the benefit of is clients, and not to mention, he was accommodating and affordable for my fixed income. Strongly Recommend!! :)

Anthony was quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had throughout the custody process.

I honestly thought Id get poor service since he wasn't a hired attorney but he has shown that not only does he do his job but cares for his client. I can honestly say he did not fail me but only give me an answer to every question I came across. I strongly believe that a person with Trioni as their attorney are in great hands. I'm more than thankful that I had my case dropped to a lower offense if it wasn't for him.

I highly recommend Mr. Anthony P. Troiani to anyone who needs legal advice. I can honestly say I trust him and felt throughout the long process, he truly cared for my case as if it were his own.I was charged and jailed, alleged DWI. Shortly thereafter made my phone call and phoned a friend who left a message after hours with Mr. Troiani' s office. Mr Troiani contacted the jail personnel, exchanged information with authorities and a left message for myself all before 8:00 a.m. This city was not home for Mr. Troiani or myself. He continued to gather information from the DA, multiple expert witnesses’ documents, made multiple court dates requiring plane travel. He communicated well and established rapport with prosecutors, as if they were his home town friends and resolved the case without my receiving a trial, DWI conviction, probation, community service, and only a $100.00 fine and minimal court costs. I feel confident that this fine would have been avoided had I risked a jury trial and spent several more months waiting on a trial.

I found Leonard after researching some of the cases that he had dealt with surrounding local Chambers and Hotel Occupancy Tax. He is an expert at city and county legislation. He was able to utilize public information requests to get the information that was essential for my case. I lived over 4 hours away from Leonard, yet you would never know because I was kept up to date on every movement in my case. He is an absolute professional. He was respectful in depositions but tough and I always felt that I had someone who REALLY understood my case. I do not know where I would be today had I not hired Leonard to represent me. It was the best decision I made for myself and my case. I was able to stop worrying about the legal process and let him take care of it. I am VERY pleased with the results and would highly reccomend him.

The other inmates filled me in on how things work in WA, I was convinced my life, as I knew it, was over. When I was released and made it back to my home state I hired Joe to represent me. Not only did he manage to make sure I didn't have to fly back for the first hearing, I just got a phone call from him stating that he is looking at my Motion to Dismiss!

I was arrested for my first Dui in August 2014. I was very scared and wasn't sure what this meant for my future. Mr. Loughlin was recommended to me from a friend. The very first thing he was able to do is get my first court date rescheduled so I could take the vacation I had planned several months in advance. next, he warned me that very few people win their case against the Washington Licensing Division. he did some research on my case and by presenting the proper evidence, he was able to win this for me. I had a pretty unique situation, and because of this he worked very hard with the prosecutors and was able to get an offer that I was happy with. He kept me very informed of my options and what the process would be every step of the way. I would definitely recommend him to others!!

He has helped immeasurably in my music business, getting some old record contracts straightened out and, above all, getting me money I have been owed for years. But here's the best part: he did all of this without riling up my record company. I got what I've been owed and I am still tight with them. That takes a really good negotiator. Add to that, he can play one hell of a guitar! You got music issues, check Rich out.

Rob put me at ease, listened, asked questions & I could tell he had my best interest at heart. He was very patient with my ques & wasn't at all offended when I asked for further explanations. His work has saved me money, time & a ton of worry. He's a straight shooter & won't waste your time.

Attorney Paul Moraski is THE BEST criminal defense lawyer! When my son was falsely accused of a crime that he didnt commit and all the cards were stacked against him, we felt defeated. We called multiple lawyers and had multiple consultations and each lawyer agreed to take his case but they all wanted him to plead guilty. This would have meant my son pleading guilty for something he didn't do, having a permanent conviction record, possible jail time, license suspension, fines, and court fees. I understand that this was the fastest, easiest, and least costly way out but this would have had a huge negative effect on my sons life and his career. He would not being able to work in his profession and run his current business. He worked so hard to get where he is by going to college, his internships and now owning and running his own business. This entire ordeal was a devastating blow to my family and we were so blessed and grateful that we found Paul! ( He asked us to call him Paul during our first meeting) We knew from the first consultation that we needed to hire him! He was the first lawyer out of many that believed in my son and believed we had a strong case and didn't want him to just plead guilty. This entire thing was foreign territory for us. Paul was very knowledgeable through the entire process, he explained things to us in detail and kept my family in the loop the entire way during my sons case. We couldnt afford to retain a lawyer, but Paul worked with us on payment plans! Paul was very professional in and outside of court and is also a very sharp dresser! I would recommend Paul to anyone looking for a great defense lawyer!

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.
