He was able to get me custody of both of my children as well as secure child support for me to support our children. I recommend Jon for all your legal needs.

After enduring 18 months of anxiety over a felony level criminal case Antonio kept up on the details of the plaintiffs background and veracity of claims. Engaged with the prosecution and the case resolved with dismissal. I always felt that he took my case personally and worked hard to prepare for trial after I refused to plea out of the case.

Attorney Gerald is the perfect attorney for making sure your case is handled with care and precision. He likes to have his information and evidence gathered thoroughly in order to obtain maximum efficiency. He is a problem solver while also keeping a cool and level head. Very keen on details. He took the time to reassure me, as a client, that the situation would be subdued in the smoothest way possible. I had never been in any legal trouble in my life. I was charged incorrectly with AWDW and in our first meeting he was able to quickly extract that my case was actually self defense and defense of others. Attorney Gerald made sure that the evidence of my case was heard clearly by the ADA and that the full picture was understood. Without the proper context the situation could have went to extreme levels that could have had permanent effects on my life and record overall. Greatfully, my charges were dismissed in a controlled and timely manner . He did a fantastic job, especially during the confusion of a pandemic and I couldn't thank him enough for protecting my innocence in the way he did. I will never forget what was done for me.

My name's Joseph, I was battling a felony probation violation after catching a new misdemeanor. I was in jeopardy of being revoked,& sent back to prison... The court appointed lawyer I was appointed told me EVERY SINGLE TIME that we met at a court hearing, that the D.A was not trying to re- Instate me for any reason... He tried to have me sign for 8 yrs TDC.. THEN 5.. I REFUSED.. Then after doing research on different lawyers, Ms. Johnson's credentials & history stood out.. Once I spoke to Rosie, Ms Johnson's secretary, she was professional & precise! Ms. Johnson reached out to me in mins! She said shed' call back after reviewing my cases.. long story short.. She kept me fully informed, She refused to fall short... And She FOUGHT FOR ME! Misdemeanor was dismissed & I been re-instated to my probation! God bless Ms. Johnson! If you are in need of Counsel, DO NOT PASS HER UP! 5 STARS 5 & a 10 out of 10...…!

My dad who only spoke Spanish always felt heard and understood. Colin never gave up on our case even after 3 other firms put us down. They helped my dad navigate around his economic situation rewarding payments and so on. Thanks to this amazing team my dad got justice and peace of mind. 100/10 recommend this firm.

Jason Snell and his firm are the single reason we were able to recoup any money from our builder when we ran into a contractual disagreement. Without him, we would have probably not only lost our house, but also all the money invested in it. Through smart application of the law, Jason and co-counsel Lance maneuvered us into a legal position to get the only positive outcome possible. Their entire office is great with regards to communication and keeping their client updated, while also setting realistic expectations. If we will ever need a law firm again, we will not look any further than the Snell Law Firm. Philip and Arlene Adrian, Georgetown TX

Mr. Ernst was very professional and knowledgeable from the very beginning. He told me what I should expect and how everything was going to work. He and his amazing staff kept me updated every step of the way. He explained my charges and what penalties I could be facing. I believe that every single person in that courthouse knew who he was and his reputation as a great lawyer definitely preceded him. He was able to get me an AMAZING result and the Judge even told me at the end that "my lawyer worked really hard for me" and was the only reason I ended up getting the deal I did. I could tell that the judges, prosecutors, court staff and even other lawyers respected him. There is no other attorney I would want standing beside me in court except for him. I would give him a million stars if I could.

I was referred to Linda after getting arrested for an OUI/DUI. During our first meeting, she assured me that we would have the best possible outcome for me. Because of her knowledge and impeccable reputation amongst her peers, she was able to deliver beyond my expectations! After reviewing my history, Linda found a way to minimalize my sentence and negotiate an amazing outcome because she was able to look outside the box and beyond, and come up with a solution that was beyond anything I was expecting and also satisfied the prosecutor and the court. Her personality and style is a perfect balance of "bulldog" and "fairness". She kept me aware of everything going on with my case, which is invaluable when you are facing a legal issue like this. She is easily the BEST attorney for you if you're facing a DUI sentence! I can't recommend her enough!

My son was arrested for an OVI charge, along with a related charge. Having never dealt with this issue before, I contacted a trusted friend who is an attorney. He said that Shawn runs the best DUI practice in the Columbus area. We took his advice to contact Shawn and we were very glad we did as Shawn and his team were very responsive, competent, professional and effective. Shawn's office immediately took our call on a Sunday and scheduled a consultation for first thing the following morning. During the consultation, Shawn provided a clear explanation of the process (including timeline), charges and potential outcomes. Throughout the process, Shawn and his team kept my son informed of the progress, includings the filings and motions made on my son's behalf, discovery data (including Shawn's assessment of how the data/evidence would possibly affect the case) and reminders of court dates. Thanks to Shawn and his team, the case was settled with the related charge being dismissed and the minimum sentence for the OVI charge. The OVI laws are complex and I can't imagine how my son would have navigated the process without the help of Shawn and his team.

I met Shawn the morning of the scheduled hearing and he was able to get the expungement order signed by the judge without me even needing to appear.

I contacted Brandon to work a domestic case I was going through and I have to say picking him was the best choice I could have made. Brandon's knowledge on the law and procedures is amazing I was so impressed by his skill and the way he took the time to explain the whole process of what was going and what steps we should take to get the best possible outcome in my case. Brandon takes his work very serious and throughout the whole case showed me how important getting me the best possible outcome for me was to him, unlike some attorneys I've dealt with in the past that seem to careless whether they win or lose the case as long as they got paid, but not Brandon he was great at staying in contact with me and letting me know what was going on every step of the way so I never felt in the dark during this case. His staff is also very friendly and courteous and would relay messages to Brandon for me in a timely matter, anytime I called Brandon would always get back to me within a reasonable even with being as busy as he his with his multiple cases going on, he truly put me at ease throughout the whole trial knowing he was on my side and doing everything possible to win for me. And that is exactly what happened he won the case for me and I couldn't be more grateful to Brandon for that. I saw all the great reviews for Brandon and that is what ultimately made me choose to go with him and I couldn't have made a better choice, Brandon did not only meet my expectations but he exceeded them completely. His pricing is also very reasonable compared to a lot of other attorneys out there because i did call other places to get prices for my case. I hope that I will never be in need of his services again, but if I do there will only be one person I call and that is Brandon Henderson. I would recommend him to anyone I know that is dealing with any legal issues.

David and Nicole were great and helped ensure that a Virginia reckless driving charge left no trace on my record, which is exactly what I was hoping for. David was quick to respond to my inquiry, transparent about costs, and provided additional information on the outcome when requested. Nicole handled the admin side of things and was also super helpful and responsive. Overall, I'd recommend Dischley Law and would definitely use their services again (though hope not to, for obvious reasons ;-)). Thank you!

Being falsely accused and facing down the full power of the state of Virginia is daunting. David Daugherty however, is the best David against Goliath imaginable in this case. David earned my full trust the moment I sat down in his office, and solidified my belief as he saw my case through to a dismissal. Do not hesitate- if you need a lawyer that will fight for you, and will make good on their reputation of being a fighter, he is your man.

I was charged with a class 6 felony and a misdemeanor charge back in October 2018. The same day I was arrested 2 of my family members were arrested and received the same charges as me but we hired different lawyers. The lawyer they hired was only able to get one of the charges dropped while I got both dismissed thanks to David. He is the man!!

If you find yourself in a bad situation and need help getting out of trouble call David. I was charged with a class 2 felony (malicious wounding) facing 10 years in jail if convicted. He was able to work a deal and get me off with two misdemeanor charges. Which was the best outcome possible for my case. Don’t get offended if scolds you if you do something wrong because I did something stupid when I was on pre trial release. He just looking out for you he always responds and is helping me out again. If your looking for a good lawyer and have no way of beating the charge. He has ways of getting you the best ultimate outcome for your case. I have used the Daughtery law firm on three different occasions, so If your looking for the best law firm in Prince Willam look no farther call David. His prices are reasonable for what he can do for you.

I was charged with Reckless Driving. A big deal in NC as it's a criminal offense. After reading lawyer reviews I contacted three attorneys. Adam's team responded the best and I hired them. They had me take an online defensive driving course and right when I was beginning to wonder what the next step was, they contacted me by phone and email and told me my charges were dismissed. The attorney and office staff were courteous and straightforward, communicating well. I highly recommend this firm.

What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You

A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.

Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.

When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?

It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:

  • Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
  • Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
  • Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
  • Plea negotiations: If you’re considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
  • Probation or parole violations: If you’ve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
  • Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.

What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?

Criminal defense lawyers provide comprehensive legal services to protect their clients’ rights throughout the criminal justice process. Their duties include:

  • Case evaluation and investigation: Reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and investigating the facts to develop a strong defense strategy.
  • Legal advice: Advising you on your rights, the charges you’re facing, and potential defense strategies, including whether to take a plea deal or go to trial.
  • Negotiating plea bargains: Working with prosecutors to negotiate a plea deal that could reduce charges or minimize penalties.
  • Court representation: Representing you in all court hearings, including bail hearings, pretrial motions, trials, and sentencing hearings.
  • Filing motions: Filing motions to dismiss charges, suppress evidence, or reduce bail, depending on the specifics of your case.
  • Trial preparation and defense: Preparing a defense strategy and presenting arguments, evidence, and witnesses during trial to contest the prosecution's case.
  • Appeals: If you are convicted, a defense lawyer can appeal the conviction or sentence, arguing errors in the trial process or legal rulings.

How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?

Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Payment structures include:

  • Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
  • Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyer’s experience and geographic location.
  • Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.

The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so it’s important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.

How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer depends on several factors, including the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost guidelines are:

  • Misdemeanor cases: For relatively minor offenses, such as a DUI or petty theft, a flat fee may range from $1,500 to $5,000.
  • Felony cases: More serious charges, such as assault or drug trafficking, can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
  • Hourly rates: For cases billed by the hour, lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and the case's location.
  • Additional expenses: You may also be responsible for other costs, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, or the cost of private investigators.

Be sure to clarify the lawyer’s fee structure and any potential additional costs during your consultation.

Top Questions to Ask a Criminal Defense Lawyer

Before hiring a criminal defense lawyer, you’ll want to ensure that they’re a good fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask:

  1. What is your experience with cases like mine?
    Make sure the lawyer has a strong track record with the specific type of criminal charges you’re facing, whether it’s DUI, drug offenses, or violent crimes.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs.
  3. What are the potential outcomes of my case?
    A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of your case and the likelihood of dismissal, a plea bargain, or conviction.
  4. How many cases have you taken to trial?
    While many criminal cases settle with a plea deal, it’s important to hire a lawyer with courtroom experience in case your case goes to trial.
  5. Who will handle my case?
    Ask if the lawyer will be personally involved or if other attorneys in the firm will handle most of the work.
  6. How do you communicate with your clients?
    Be clear on how often and through what channels you can expect updates on your case.

How to Check the Credibility of a Criminal Defense Lawyer

To verify the credibility of a criminal defense lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Check their standing with the state bar: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any past disciplinary actions or complaints.
  • Read online reviews and testimonials: Platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google can provide insights from previous clients about the lawyer’s communication, professionalism, and case outcomes.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should have past clients or other professionals who can speak to their competence and work ethic.
  • Review their case history: Look at the lawyer’s website or professional profile to see their experience with criminal cases, including high-profile or complex cases.
  • Look for trial experience: If your case might go to trial, make sure the lawyer has a strong history of courtroom advocacy and success.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your first consultation with a criminal defense lawyer, bring the following:

  • Details of your case: Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the charges against you, including any documents related to your arrest, police reports, and court dates.
  • Criminal history: If you have any prior criminal convictions, inform your lawyer so they can understand how that may affect your current case.
  • List of witnesses or evidence: If there are any potential witnesses or evidence that may support your defense, share this information during the consultation.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Prepare questions about their experience, legal strategy, and fees to ensure you understand how they will handle your case.
  • Bail or release documents: If you’ve been released on bail, bring any paperwork related to your release conditions or restrictions.

By being well-prepared, you can help your lawyer quickly assess your situation and begin building an effective defense strategy.
