I’m so happy I decided to go with Mr. Barnett. Not once did he try to deceive me on the process of my case. Other lawyers I spoke with made it seem like everything would be done in a month. But Mr. Barnett let me know it would be a process and assured me everything would be fine. I’m very please with the outcome I received. God forbid I’m ever in a situation like this again but if Lady Luck isn’t on my side I would definitely go back to Mr. Barnett. Also he has a killer smile! Haha!

At a time where I was terrified wondering what was going to come from my DWI mistake, Mr. Varghese and company came and saved the day. Was very responsive and walked me through every single step along the way. Was also able to help get the charges reduced! Would recommend to anyone in a similar situation.

Anna was very understanding and considerate of my situation and wanting to get my case taken care of right away. As soon as I hired her, she jumped right on it, contacting the DA's office, and got them to not file the charge that was pending against me. She was also able to talk to my parole officer, and submit a document from the DA stating they were not picking up the charge for me. My parole then lifted the blue warrant off of me. This all got settled within a matter of days, and my parole officer said I was really lucky, that this usually doesn't happen with a family violence charge. All thanks to Anna for getting this done!

3 years ago at the age of 22 I received my first (and only) DUI. I couldn't sleep at night thinking about my insurance rate doubling, not being able to get a conceal carry permit in the future, costs, etc. Attorney Marr was able to miraculously get the prosecution to drop the charges & I received no license suspension so my insurance never went up, truly nothing short of a miracle! Now at 25 I'm proud to say I am now legally carrying. Please stay out of trouble!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Gail not only got me out of jail on a probation violation, but she had my DUI charge removed completely and I was only charged with a $160 ticket !!! Unheard of ! I had another court case in a different county and she was able to have the county extend my ARD and that charge will be expunged ! When hired , she answered my calls and texts immediately . The office is great too and very helpful. I live in California so she was able to have both my cases in Philadelphia and bucks county coincide to make travel much easier . She worked extremely hard for me the entire time, I’m extremely grateful we found her! Thank you Gail !!

Mr. Burdett was knowledgable and reassuring. Anyone needing legal services is in a tough situation by definition. He made the process understandable and everything proceeded smoothly, False expectations were not set, but the outcome was very favorable. I hope to never need his services again, but he would be my first phone call if something were to happen.

A few years ago I was young & dumb got 2 dui’s after that I got my stuff together to do better & be better but you know in NJ you need a car , so I kept driving after all my punishments bc I didn’t have anyone really represent me for those 2 dui s from 9 yrs ago .. that was a big mistake on Valentine’s Day I parked my car in maywoof by the way I have diabetes, so I parked to get a candy bc my sugar was low & I wasn’t feeling good .. the next thing I see is one offer car in front & one on back .. they automatically stereotyped me as a person who was drunk or high bc of my past .. they towed my car & brought Into station as I cried & said to myself this cannot be happening again I’ve been doing everything right , in my urine they found medicated that were proscribed to me , the charged me with dui & a lot of other things .. the officer didn’t even fill out anything while I was there .. he mailed & I went to court , I tried a Public defendant who told me I have no chance just go to jail il for 6 mos & 10 yrs suspended license./. He told just sign you have no chance .. & I said no I will get a lawyer that’s when I met Mrr. Scott Gorman , , he had such a relaxed way about him & pleasant .. he told me since they mailed me my summons I didn’t have to show bc who is to know if I received those summons sent by mail but by them I had already screwed that had went into court .. but scott still said don’t worry I think we still have a good chance , he gave me faith , hope , strength when I had none.. we went to court for 2 yrs straight through zoom in person mostly , he was always there a call , a text away through the 2 yrs he was always honest he told me what was right & wrong .. what was going good , what was not .. Mr. Scott Gorman literally went into the Lions den & he wasn’t going looe . He brought my case to the Supreme Court , shortly after I had to give Mr.Gorman some documents emailed , so mr. Gorman called & said forget the document we’re getting your dui dropped, I didn’t know what to say I broke down in tears & said thank you , I could of never got this done it was a miracle .. he is amazing .. if you have any charges or dui Mr . Scott Gorman is your man . He’s not about money , He’s about really fighting for his client .. Even the judge said you would’ve never got this dismissed if you didn’t have the great lawyer you have .. I’ve never seen anyone fight so hard ,,, this my lawyer for life I recommend him to everyone who needs a lawyer .. he’s the best !!!! I owe my life to him , my life would’ve changed in a bad direction I f he didn’t save me , Thank you Mr.Scott Gorman… a true guardian angel !!!

I left a very long review on another popular site already so I'll make this quick. The time he spent engaging with me and speaking to me honestly, guiding me on the best proper steps that should be taken and overall helpfulness speaks volumes to his character. I'm not one to go out of my way and act like a Karen unless something is so horrible they deserve a negative review or they are so helpful they deserve praise. I am on avvo, a site I never heard of until recently, going out of my way to leave a review because he went way out of his way and that is something no other Attorney has ever done. He truly deserves more than 5 stars as a Thank You for restoring my faith in the legal community (well, maybe that is a bit much because I question lots of legal professionals ethics after the one I dealt with before. I welcome you to go read that review ha.) I would totally recommend Scott to anyone who needs legal assistance and wants a knowledgeable and helpful Attorney who has your best interest in mind. Not the fake "I like to help my clients and care" bs line that all the Attorneys proclaim. He truly does want to be helpful

I highly recommend the services of Access Legal Care Law Firm and specifically attorney Bert Whitehead and his team. Throughout my custody hearings, they provided exceptional guidance and support, ensuring that I had a clear understanding of the process and assisted me in filling out the necessary paperwork accurately and submitting it on time. One aspect that impressed me was their attentiveness to my needs and preferences. Despite their busy schedule, they always made sure to allocate time for my phone calls, which was included in the payment. I initially found the strict time window for calls a bit disconcerting, but Attorney Whitehead promptly addressed all my concerns and ensured that I received the necessary attention and guidance. What I appreciated most was the transparency in terms of payment. Whether it was a straight upfront payment or a payment plan, they provided a clear rate, ensuring that I knew what to expect. Despite opting for a payment plan, the level of service and dedication extended to me was no different from those who paid in full. Attorney Whitehead and his team were meticulous in their approach to my case, going above and beyond to set me up for success. They ensured that I understood my responsibilities and provided updates on the progress of the case, including reminders and calls the night before court hearings to ensure my preparedness. Although I never met Attorney Whitehead in person, our communication through Skype and phone calls made me feel like he was my personal attorney. The entire team at Access Legal Care works tirelessly, often working seven days a week, demonstrating their commitment to their clients. They genuinely care about achieving the best possible outcome, regardless of payment plan or payment in full. They never left me hanging and consistently provided assistance and support throughout the ups and downs of the case. Attorney Whitehead and his team are not only proficient in navigating the legal system but also in finding cost-saving alternatives to reach a favorable resolution. They understood the gravity of my case and approached it with efficiency, grace, and precision. I cannot express enough gratitude for the positive impact they had on my life. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, I was able to achieve my desired outcome, although it did take some time and patience. I fully believe that no other lawyer could have done a better job, even if I had paid them in full. Access Legal Care, led by Attorney Bert Whitehead, is an outstanding law firm with a compassionate and skilled team. If you are in need of legal assistance, I strongly encourage you to reach out to them. I have personally tried various internet sites, consulted with different lawyers and experts, and Access Legal Care stands out as the best choice. They will make the seemingly impossible possible and restore your hope in a successful outcome. They certainly did that for me, and I will forever be grateful. Thank you once again to Burt Whitehead and the entire team. Stay blessed and stay great! Sincerely blaise

Bert was very knowledgeable and help me thru this and appreciate his professional service to me. I like the on the line system- modern technology is so amazing. I never had to drive to his office (like my ex-wife did- traveled 45 minutes each way to talk with her lawyer) to get access to him but did everything thru on line and telephone. Set up an appointment time slot on his schedule that he has available and then he calls you back at that time. Be organized and write down your content you want to cover as the time flies by quickly. He was 4 times cheaper than the first lawyer I had a consultation with to see if I was going to hired her her Thank you Bert. You are a great lawyer. I wouldn’t hesitate in using you again.

Over the years I've needed to employ the services of attorneys several times. I can't say that any of my former attorneys gave me poor representation, but I can honestly say none of them compare to the professional, honest & thorough representation I received from The Baker Law Group. I was highly concerned about receiving a negative outcome in my case. Drew assured me that he & his team would do everything in their power to ensure I would be granted the best possible outcome & they did just that. Drew has an amazing track record that speaks for itself. He is highly regarded in the law community, in the court system & in the city in general. After meeting him & having him on your side, you'll understand why. I believe the best quality about Drew is that he cares about getting you the best outcome, but also truly cares about you, as a person, & getting you the help you need to ensure you're in a better position going forward in life. Many people have negative ideas regarding attorneys, myself included. Drew is the type of attorney & person who changes that narrative. I highly recommend Drew & The Baker Law Group for all your representation needs. If you want the best, look no further.

White. I have first hand knowledge of the outcome of several similar cases and know that I have the Best and Most Successful Attorney and thus the best results. Here is only a short list of some of the many capabilities that differentiate Debra as the Best Attorney. 1. Best Knowledge of the Law and Judicial processes, the Complexities, Nuances, Subtleties and therefore Opportunities 2. Best Standing and Influence in the Court, with the Judges, and the DAs 3. Best Advocate, Best Negotiator, Most Persuasive, Best Fighter for the Client 4. Best Guide through the process for Me as the Client including Referrals and Recommendations for things I could do 5.

Debra White is a magnificent criminal defense attorney. Throughout an uphill long battle I had with a severe personal matter. Debra was able to communicate to the justice system with what is true and what was not. She was able to navigate in a precise manner while utilizing laws that have passed recently in our favor. Debra communicates on a timely manner dependent on your situation and would never leave you in tight spot where you are left high and dry like most of many attorneys. I have already recommended her to a great family friend of mine which she has already produced amazing results for. Debra is really on top of her practice. I am happy to say I would voice or refer this law office to anyone! Debra thank you for all you have done for me & my family.

Super Lawyer Debra S. White is personable, professional, and communicates clearly to her client, their family and the court. She always appears in court prepared--and she never drops the ball. Observing her in court hearings, even when seemingly nothing of import was happening, Debra set the case groundwork and pushed the pea forward towards her envisioned positive outcome. Our family witnessed, time and again, Debra's extraordinary facility in dealing with a sometimes semi-hostile court environment. Her body language is confidant, always accompanied by a big smile: she's on, she is ready, and you understand you're in the very best of hands. She won our case. Michelle H.

We unfortunatley we not treat right, or fair, But held onto faith in God and trying to do the right Thing. Kimberly and her Council with Our Attorney Dan Kaminsky helped us sooo much. Her knowledge of the law was impressive and she impressed the The Judges and through logic we succeeded but with her help being blessed by God. And Saved a Historic Property The Convent.., At least we were able to breathe with the help she gave and didn't have to worry over the premature razing of the property. What could be worst then having to face that awful fact. I feel like she was a real blessing to us. we were tired, exhausted and belittled by unjust prosecution and assumptions bad basically. We should have been working together, our side was but communication was awry... and against us.. leaving us dejected and feeling discriminated against in so many ways.... unreal. We were in essence being bullied. Long Story short She helped us, and you know i believe God will give her the power to help you and whom ever comes in here path... she's that good, She explained and walked us paitently through the process. Which she made it possible for us to help the future to preserve the property As God would have it... and or Enhance the Status. She's Decently Affordable, and will let you know the pitfalls if she see's any and works possibly more then you would expect she has hoodspa tenancity she's good. Now also The News papers in Fond Du Lac and the people that understood the value of the historic prooperty The Fond Du Lac Reporter also wrote stories about her case with us and its a miracle worked through with her. We who believe appreciate her talents The Convent of the Holy Nativity is Our Norte Dame and it was saved by Kimberly Penix Note This was our dream Home Commercial/bus/Res which was a nightmare we were Hurt Brokenhearted without her assistance Thank God For Kimberly Penix and Legal Council All M Candice Renovation Reservation Specialist George Pan Andreas Actor General Hospital (Luke and Laura Ice Capades) Cult Film Star GeorgePanoussis 2 Commendation Restorationalist Urban Spcl We Thank Kimberly Penix.

Kimberly Penix is a knowledgeable, dedicated, hard working, take action type attorney that you want fighting for your rights. She did that for me were other attorneys knowingly dropped the ball. Her professional approach was extremely welcome and helpful. She has an incredible sense of humor as well! The bottom line is, if you want a top notch attorney, your journey has ended. She has a vast knowledge of the law and is able to reflect that in paperwork preparation for the courts. Her confidence, communication, commitment, and competence excited me the first time I spoke to her on the phone about my case. Her response time to all my email inquiry's was phenomenal. Her exceptional willingness to help me in every way that I have needed over the last two years (were multiple other attorneys could not be bothered to do their jobs). I appreciate all the effort and hard work she put forth in my case. An absolutely amazing attorney, thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Ms. Tulekyan took on my case in July of 2023. At the time, I was a lifer who'd been incarcerated for 16 1/2 years. I was cynical of defense lawyers in general based on first hand experiences and second hand accounts, and naturally was skeptical of putting my trust in them. Being represented by Ms. Tulekyan forced me to rethink my belief of her profession. From the beginning she exhibited competency and diligence in pursuing every angle of relief available to me. She patiently communicated to me what were the most viable routes to the result I was looking for, even when I didn't completely see the vision. I thank God that he humbled me enough to allow her to do what she does best on my behalf because after she was done, I went from having 3 consecutive life sentences plus 120 years to receiving time served as a result of a plea deal she tirelessly negotiated for. She exudes an assurance that can only come from one who exactly what they can and cannot do for their client. She is practical, and won't sell you any fluff. Whether you looking at losing your freedom or potentially regaining it, I am confident that she approaches each and every matter with the same level of passion, integrity and determination to secure the best outcome possible.

We just completed our FSBO sale closing with excellent support of Lana. She guided us through complex negotiations with the other party and made sure that our interests are always fully protected. Lana's work ethics are exceptional - she was very responsive and helpful in explaining the process and clarifying any questions that came up. She certainly went above and beyond our expectations and with gratitude I would wholeheartedly recommend her as an attorney to hire. Thank You, Lana!

Lana is an excellent real estate attorney. I did a lot of research to find her and it was worth it. Lana helped me buy my first house. She was incredibly helpful, explaining all the details (and there are A LOT of details), and never dismissed any of my concerns - and I had a lot of questions. She is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Lana to anyone looking to purchase a home. You need a good attorney when you buy a house and Lana is the best. She is very knowledgeable and prepped me on what to expect every step of the way from dealing with real estate agents on both sides of the table to what I should be saying to the people at city hall. Even though the sellers did not have their act together and created multiple delays and complications throughout the process, Lana kept things on track and moving along smoothly on my end. If you are looking for a real estate attorney in New Jersey you should definitely contact her, she is great and her rates are affordable as well.

A 10/10 lawyer. I was in despair when I hired Seda. I was in Angola (Africa), because I was, I had very little hope. I needed to go back to the US for school. It was stressful. However, she handled things brilliantly. And her light. I was like "Really? Does this kind of person exist?". I was like "Wow" in my mind. It was such a pleasure meeting you, Seda. And thanks for everything.

Mr. Rosenberg explained each step to me very clearly with no room to misunderstand. Even with all the questions I pestered him with, he was still very understanding and provided me with helpful responses and answers. He did say that it is not necessary for him and his client to meet, but even then I insisted on meeting him and he obliged with my request. We kept in touch as soon as anything related to the matter came up and he would always respond very quickly, even when the email conversation could have been put on hold until the next day. If I happen to be in a similar situation in the future, I am definitely going straight to Mr. Rosenberg, 10 out of 10 recommend.

Despite short notice he was able to get everything he needed together and set me at ease. In the end he was able to get my ticket reduced to a non reporting violation, which is exactly what I was hoping for. I will look to Mr. Crawford in the future for any help I might need.

I am a single mother getting on my feet. I had 4 traffic tickets from 7 7-10 years ago. The total for all for was right at $5000. I was in a horrible controlling relationship and didn't have a chance to start taking care of them until this year. I searched for traffic lawyers in the LV area, I am now in California. Since day one the staff here has been so helpful. I thought I would have to pay the tickets before I could even think about getting my license back. But a month or so in to the process they reached out that I could get my license. They contacted the court to have it released to the DMV and then the DMV did their part. Then within a week I had my paper license in hand. When they finally went to court, I figured maybe they'd get the total between all 4 tickets down to half. I was so surprised with the total between all for tickets was $771 dollars. I cried. I did 5 hrs of traffic school online through a company they recommended and when an issue arose with doing my certificate the staff at Mr. Maridon's office took care of it instantly. I thank them for making this whole ordeal so smooth and stress-free.

I must say dealing with the Maridon Law Firm has been a unique pleasure from start to finish, heres why..I had another atty prior to Maridon Law deal with an issue I had, long/short they completely screwed everything up. Feeling disparaged about my experience, I started doing research online and came across Joseph Maridon Esq.. I took a shot in the dark not expecting much after my last experience that ended horribly, and to my amazement Maradon Law not only reopened my case and fixed the other attys mistakes, they reduced my fine and somehow pulled off NO traffic school, though it was part of the expected outcome that I would probably have to! Maradon Law and staff treated me with respect and dignity throughout the entire process, and sent continual updates every step of the way. Fact is, drama free help like this is hard to come by these days. The atty even took my phone call about a more recent concern, and the conversation was very pleasant, informative and wasn't rushed. This atty and staff actually care about their clients on a more organic level, and for that and everything else I cannot recommend highly enough. Since my last experience I have returned again, and also sent an acquaintance their way, and will continue to do so. If you're in a jam and need a good atty thats very capable, affordable, and efficient, this is your guy hands down..No need to look further.

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.
