About Spolin Law P.C.’s Civil Rights Practice
Spolin Law P.C. provides full-service representation to select clients on civil rights issues. We work on cases involving a violation of Constitutional or statutory rights carried out by a government entity. Cases frequently involve a demand for a law enforcement agency to change its practices, take a specific action, and/or a request for monetary damages to compensate for damages suffered.
Spolin Law P.C. is led by civil rights and criminal defense attorney Aaron Spolin, who is an award-winning former prosecutor. Prior to serving as an Assistant District Attorney, Mr. Spolin worked for federal district court judge Shira Scheindlin, advocated for indigent clients at the East Bay Community Law Center, and served as a member of California Law Review. He is also the recipient of the American College of Trial Lawyers Medal for Excellence in Oral Advocacy as well as other awards for his outstanding legal work.

The Cost/Price of Civil Rights Representation
Spolin Law P.C. civil rights cases involve an hourly fee with a “retainer fund” deposited by the client. This means that the client will deposit a moderate amount of money up front (the “retainer fund”), and the firm will deduct money from the retainer as hours are billed on the case.
Spolin Law P.C. does not take a portion of the money won by a client at the end of a civil rights case. Taking a portion of the money won is called a “contingency fee,” which Spolin Law P.C. does not do.
Clients who prefer a “contingency fee” arrangement are best suited to seek out another law firm that works on contingency. Clients who prefer to pay hourly and then receive 100% of any money won are best suited to retaining Spolin Law P.C., as are clients who would prefer the high level of personal service and zealous representation that Spolin Law P.C. delivers to each client.
