We used Tanya for a house sale / purchase in early 2022. Tanya was great to work with and made the stressful process of selling / buying a house much easier. She communicated up front what the process would involve (we hadn't had a real estate transaction in over 20 years so it was a good refresher!) and was extremely proactive in all aspects of the process. We appreciated her attention to detail and patience with all of the many questions we had! We also were very happy with the title agency she recommended - they were great to work with. We would highly recommend Tanya for any real estate related legal work.

I must say Kyrsten is an amazing lawyer! She helped me with my custody case and I am so thankful I found her! She is always up front and honest with her clients. She made it very clear she was here to help me tell my story to the court system and she did one hell of a job! She was always very responsive in a timely manner when calling or emailing her. She truly goes above and beyond as a lawyer and truly cares about her clients. I would defiantly hire her again if ever needed!

This had to be the scariest thing I've evenly gone through. I never thought I would ever need to file for bankruptcy. Ed helped me come to terms with it and gave me comfort by assuring me there is life after a bankruptcy and it will pass. He is very professional, always reachable and will answer any concerns you may have. I know I chose the best bankruptcy lawyer in New Jersey. Please do not hesitate to use his services if anyone can you get you out of bankruptcy with no issues it's Ed Vaisman!

One of the best decisions of my life was to have hired the lawyer Vaisman to take my bankruptcy case, he is a person who has shown me that he can be trusted and answered all my questions without hesitation. I also love the way he takes the case and the follow-up of everything. In addition to all that he knows about the subject, another point that was very important to me is the patience he had to understand me and I say it with respect to the language since Spanish is my first language, he always made sure that we understood each other and not only that, when my case has been resolved, he also made sure to explain and teach us how to raise the credit again. And not only that in addition to being the best lawyer specialized in this issue, it is also the most economical we have found, since the other lawyers I have contacted charged me twice and did not guarantee me anything since my case was very complex, but not for Mr. Vaisman. Please know that I don't usually leave reviews but in this case I must do it since this lawyer has earned it. Thank you very much for your excellent work and service Mr. Vaisman you have definitely earned another loyal customers and will definitely recommend you for now on. ======================================================== Unas de las mejores decisiones de mi vida fue haber contratado al abogado Vaisman para que llevara mi caso de bancarrota, es una persona que me ha demostrado que se puede confiar en el, que cualquier duda que uno tenga el la va a responder sin ningun problema. Tambien me encanto la manera que llevo el caso y el seguimiento de todo. Ademas de todo lo que el sabe sobre el tema otro punto que me parecio MUY importante es la paciencia que el tuvo para entender a uno y lo digo con respecto al idioma ya que el espanol es mi primer idioma, el siempre se aseguro que nos entendieramos y no solo eso, cuando el caso mio se ha resuelto tambien se aseguro de explicarnos y ensenarnos como volver a subir el credito. Y no solo eso ademas de ser el mejor abogado especializado en este tema tambien es el mas economico que hemos encontrado, ya que los otros abogados que he contactado me cobraban muchisimo mas y no me garantizaban nada ya que mi caso era muy complejo, pero no para Mr. Vaisman. Quiero que sepan que no soy de dejar reviews pero en este caso debi hacerlo ya que este abogado se lo ha ganado. Muchisimas gracias por su excelente trabajo y servicio Mr. Vaisman definitivamente usted se ha ganado otros clientes fieles a usted y por supuesto lo voy a recomendar a usted ahora en adelante.

I have no words to thank Ms. Nahra enough for the great legal work she did for me. The dedication, consideration, sagacity, talent and sapience that Ms. Nahra employed in my case are a true reward for anyone who has had the privilege of having, as I had, Ms. Nahra by my side as a legal counselor. Thanks to her wisdom, mindful, excellent and diligent work, her constant communication, she was able to obtain what I consider a victory to the tenacity and invaluable experience and professionalism of a lawyer like Ms. Annabelle Nahra. Her advice was always firm, flawless, full of compassion, positivism and assurance that she would put all her efforts into helping me come out with my head up at the end of my case, and thank God and Ms. Nahra, so it was. I recommend without any reservation to anyone looking for an excellent legal representative to enforce their rights in court, the expert, qualified, skilled, professional and priceless services of Ms. Annabelle Nahra. Thank you, Ms. Nahra. My family and I will be infinitely grateful to you.

If for some reason you get in trouble, Mr Weiner's office is THE place to go. In our case, we worked with Ms Nahra -- and in the end we got a "way-beyond-expected" result. Ms Nahra was working with us, the Prosecutor's office, in court, etc etc -- and she is great. Things are clearly explained, expectations set, and things get done. The office staff and paralegals are incredible - all the detailed "dance" (calls, memos, updates, scheduling) is seamlessly done. Without going into details (due to natural limitations of a public review), the attorneys of Mr Weiner's firm have unmatched experience and reach. You want things done -- come see Mr Weiner, Ms Nahra or Mr Weiner Junior. They will deliver the best result that can be delivered. It is that simple.

I am from out of state and was charged for excessive speeding and careless driving. I had no idea how to approach the situation as this was my first charge ever. After a frantic Google search for the best traffic violation representation in Minnesota, I found Ginny with her extensive CV and rave reviews and I can say, she did not dissapoint! I gave her a call the next morning and to my surprise, she picked up right away and was ready to listen to me and my case. We talked for about 20 minutes over the phone where she gave me her honest opinion of what she could realistically do for me given all of the details. Her and her office were nothing but efficient and communicative throughout the whole process. Ginny was able to not only knock down one of the charges, but also eliminated one of them completely. I am forever grateful for her! If you need an effective and efficient lawyer that is willing to listen to you and your needs, look no further. She truly is the best! Thank you so much Ginny!

I would just like to say that as my court appointed attorney Virginia (Jenny) Barron surprised me as I wasn’t sure what to expect. She went out of her way to read my medical records, get letters from my doctor and even contacted an expert in COPD which was the main part of my case. She kept in contact with me and returned calls as with Covid my case took a very long time. This wasn’t expected on my end and was very grateful to have gotten her as my attorney.

I was pulled over by an NJ trooper for speeding on NJ highway and there was misunderstanding between us (it was my first time to get pulled, I was too nervous and English is not my native language). The officer issued multiple tickets and I was facing license suspension. I called multiple traffic lawyers and Mr. Advani was the only one who listened the whole story patiently and gave me detailed analysis of my situation. He explained the best/worst scenario and what the expected outcome would be. There were more than 3 months between the day of my offense and the final court date, and every time I had a question, Mr. Advani replied timely. During the court date, he waited patiently with me before seeing the judge, and communicated well with the judge. We got the "best case scenario" results: 3 of the tickets were disposed, the total point was reduced to 2 and I kept my license. Mr. Advani is professional and experienced, and he is a nice person. If you are in trouble with the tickets, I would highly recommend him!

I got a ticket a while back for speeding, and I was given a reckless driving on top of it - just a bad situation, that I did not know the full ramifications of, till I hired the services of Vik Advani. From the very beginning with Vik, there was a clear communication path, with clear details on the tickets, the points, expectations, best and worst case scenarios, insurance impacts, and the timeline. My questions were answered in a timely fashion and I did not experience any concerns, issues, delays etc. - I probably learnt more in my few discussions than I could reading books! Eventually, at the court trial, my outcome was better than the best case scenario, and Vik's services were worth every penny, which, in the state of NJ with it's speeding laws, are more than generous. I'd recommend his services without a second thought.

“Lee Hotchkin, Esq., recently represented me in a complex DMV felony case related to my hotly contested divorce, regarding a title transfer issue, related to attempting to repair a vehicle that I had purchased new in 2003 with community income… that was involved in a minor accident that the other driver admitted fault, mutually trading insurance information. Due to COVID restrictions and courthouse closings, Lee Hotchkin was able to postpone the hearing for almost 3 years (with my approval) while strategically negotiating with the DA to plea bargain a trumped up felony charge that was filed by two of my older children, who were given my 50% proxy community interest in our estate without my consent, who never invested a single dollar in our LLC’s, nor the vehicle that it was titled under, all at the prodding of my soon to be ex-wife. The complexity of combining a ridiculous exaggerated felony charge, with a seemingly never ending divisive divorce, involving over-emotional older children, was a potential recipe for a disastrous outcome… that Lee Hotchkin ultimately worked to our benefit… by pleading only to a minor misdemeanor, thus avoiding a felony trumped up charge and a time consuming trial…! Although, my attorney Lee Hotchkin and myself BOTH believed that we would have prevailed at trial had we decided NOT to settle… I realized that this legal episode was not worth the resources, emotional toll, nor the expense, to prove our point and innocence while possibly bearing the potential legal liability and outcome of having to go through a jury trial… and by taking Lee Hotchkin’s professional expert advice, we were able to obtain the best possible resolution… for the least expense… whereby by pleading “No Contest”, I also avoid being sued in the future… and in one year, Lee Hotchkin will “SEAL” my criminal record… as if this nightmare never happened…! Thank You Lee…!” EDL.

Thomas Martin helped me greatly in my case with a bicyclist in my town who has punched kicked and broken mirrors off of vehicles. This bicyclist has been a nuisance in my town for a long time now. Thomas was able to navigate me through the court system with a favorable outcome for myself. He was an absolute professional who will return your call and take a whole hearted interest in your case. In my opinion some lawyers today treat you as you are just another number. If you want results and a lawyer who cares about his clients Thomas Martin is the lawyer to contact.

He represented me on my recent charge of DUI. It was my first DUI and of others who have it they were shocked of the deal I had got. I advised David that I will plead to any charge as long as I don’t get more then a year probation and I didn’t loose my license. I got exactly that. He communicated and kept in touch with court dates and what was discussed. I would highly recommend David to friends and family, he is understanding, compassionate, and a beast in the court.

I don't think there's a better attorney in the entire Southern Indiana and Louisville area. He fought my case with me for more than two years and never gave up. When I was offered a plea agreement he felt was unfair he explained he explained why he felt this way. From there we continued to fight my case until he was able to negotiate a resolution that left everyone, especially myself, satisfied. There was a time when I was certain that I would be serving a lengthy sentence, but he assured me there were other options and we should keep fighting. Even though I was confident I would be serving a 10-year prison sentence, he was able to negotiate a plea agreement for me that included zero prison time. More importantly, he never misled me. He acted with honesty, integrity and always helped me understand the process. He never promised me, or anyone I've recommended to him, something he couldn't deliver. David is not the type of attorney that would promise the impossible to a client. I've encountered several attorneys in the area and I've found nobody understands the laws and court process as well as David. His willingness to fight for his clients and his experience as an expert negotiator is the reason I'm able to enjoy the pleasures of freedom today. I can assure you that you will not be able to find a better attorney in the area and would be satisfied if you hire him as your legal counsel.

I asked Larry if he could write a legal opinion letter for a DWAI in New York State. DWAI is a unique charge because it is a traffic violation and not a crime and is less severe in seriousness compared to an ordinary DWI. Larry authored a letter explaining what a DWAI is and this letter has proven to be useful for employment and other scenarios. I needed another letter for another purpose and Larry was kind enough to do this for free. He didn't ask for any more money or expect anything in return.

WOW! I got myself in some serious trouble. I had 1st and 2nd degree charges. Thankfully my parents found fantastic lawyers at the firm of Robert's and Teeters. It was a long 5 years dealing with this case. I immediately said to them I want to take this case to trial and they gave me the full confidence from the beginning. Due to the pandemic the case was prolonged for so long but I'm 100% satisfied with this firm. Matt and Mike are the perfect team. They work together so smooth and it's actually entertaining watching them consult eachother about certain situations. Mike is very knowledgeable and Matt is simply a great talker in court. They don't leave any stones unturned. They never give up any battle and at the same time are prepared for any outcome. They aren't the type to lie to you. They tell you upfront the risks of any decisions beforehand. They even worked with us for the payments. All around great lawyers and I see them doing great things for others. I ended up finally winning the trial and got all charges acquitted. I will definitely recommend them to anyone in need of professional and honest lawyers. I'm truly blown away by Matt's performance in the court room. I'm so happy with everything and he is truly an angel sent from heaven. He puts his heart in to his work and faught for me as if we were family. I'll never forget this!...Don't hesitate to use these guys. Their names will go big very soon!

Great to work with! I had a case in Middlesex County. There was a specific outcome I hoped for. Matthew Teeter laid out how the case would go, gave me the best and worst case scenario, he set me up with realistic goals and expectations, and he even gave me advice on what to do after the case to help with the outcome. When attending court, I was kept in the loop when I needed to be, and given proper instructions and guidance for each step of the way. In doing so, he earned me the exact positive result that I had hoped for. If I find a need for an attorney in the future, I will plan on reach out for his services again.

I hired James a year ago to represent me in a matter against an individual who was using the criminal justice system to stalk and harass me. My case was a difficult, complicated and emotional case, dealing with an individual who was not emotionally stable. From the beginning, James was the right lawyer for the job. He didn't over-promise, but he handled my case with sensitivity, while, at the same time, was amazingly strategic in how to plan my case. James prepared diligently for my case and got me the exact result that I needed, But, what was most important to me, was not only that he got me the result that I needed, but how he treated me throughout the year. James ALWAYS took or returned my phone calls immediately. James always answered my emails. James ALWAYS made me feel like my case mattered to him, and like I mattered to him as a client and a person. I always knew he had my back and that he truly was putting 1000% into fighting my case. I would unequivocally recommend James to ANYONE who needs an excellent criminal defense attorney who will go the extra mile, who will fight like hell for you, and will never make you feel like you're in it by yourself. He is truly the best criminal defense attorney in New Jersey.

I hired Mr. Christopher Aiello for two traffic infractions and during the course of the whole process he was nothing short of professional and through his hard work he was able to get one ticket dismissed and the other one significantly reduced. I would highly recommend him for any incident.

I had gotten into an accident which resulted in a pedestrian being injured quite badly. However, Mr. Aiello was able to completely dismiss my reckless driving and disregard for stop sign charges. Absolutely one of the best lawyers around, and he was very friendly and efficient. Overall could not have asked for a better attorney.

Mr. Aiello helped me with an employment contract I had signed with my current employer. He was very knowledgeable in the subject matter and had many other similar cases to draw experience from. He was also very easy to talk to, and answered all my questions in extraordinary detail. I would highly recommend him and his team, and will be sure to reach out if I need legal representation in the future.

Keith Oliver is an excellent lawyer who cares for his clients. As soon as I placed a request online for some questions about my case, he immediately texted me back while I was at work during my nightshift and we had a conversation on what to expect going forward. Right there I knew that he was the right lawyer for the job. He could of just waited until the next day or two to call me back, yet because of his responsiveness to my situation, I hired him. He stuck by my side through the long drawn out process which was out of our control. Whether your situation is big or small, Keith will fight tooth and nail for you. His straight to the point attitude and aggressive nature will ease your mind knowing that you hired the right lawyer for your particular situation. Give him a chance and call him, you won't be disappointed. Keith is a great lawyer. He's my super lawyer! Google him and you will see his background of accomplishments and achievements. Hopefully I won't get into a situation like this again, but if I do you are number one on my contact list. Thanks for being by my side for two and a half years. Until next time my freind and best wishes for success at your firm.

God led me to Denise and Putnam. I remember how confused and sad I was when I got into their office and Denise told me everything will be okay. Denise and Putnam did not see me as a client, they saw me as a sister, a daughter and a mother. They worked my case with their heart for very little pay. The outcome of my case was a huge surprise to me and my family. Thank you great ladies for your hard work. I recommend this law firm to any body. They are not just there for money because they charge very low. They are there because they want justice for all. Thank you is not enough, may the lord protect and guide you both as you continue to fight for justice for all regardless.

Denise Carter is an amazingly professional and skilled attorney and we cannot thank her enough! She and her team helped our daughter through a DUI case quickly and efficiently, and we could not have asked for a better outcome. The case was resolved without our daughter ever having to set foot inside a court room. All questions, emails and phone calls were answered promptly and we were kept informed of the entire process and what was going on every step of the way. Denise listens to her clients, gives expert legal advice, and delivers on her promises. She is friendly and down to earth, but most importantly really knows her stuff! I cannot recommend her highly enough, and while I hope we never find ourselves needing her services again, I would not hesitate to contact Carter & Putnam in the future should the need arise!

My case was a very difficult family case with lots of fails on the justice system but Julie fought very hard to get us peace and justice. The system threw every curve ball but she never quit pushing for us. She always kept me informed and made sure I understood what was going on. We needed an emergency protective order on a Friday Julie got it taken care of and took time to call me at almost 9pm just to give me peace of mind. I really value the advice she gives and it has helped many ways legally and teaching me how to handle situations.

I had the pleasure of working with Spencer Bondy as my criminal defense attorney, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience and outcome. Spencer is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable in the field of criminal law, but he also brings a remarkable level of care and empathy to his practice. From our first meeting, he made me feel heard and understood, addressing all my concerns with patience and genuine compassion. Spencer's dedication to my case was evident throughout the entire process. He meticulously reviewed all the details, developed a robust defense strategy, and kept me informed every step of the way. His confidence and expertise were reassuring, especially during such a stressful time. The most remarkable aspect of Spencer's service was the outcome he achieved – a dismissal of my case. This result speaks volumes about his capability as a defense attorney and his commitment to his clients. If you are looking for a lawyer who will not only fight tirelessly for your rights but also provide the support you need, I highly recommend Spencer & Bondy law.

I arrested for a high bac. Mr Bondy represented me in northern Michigan. I choose Mr Bondy because of his ratings on the internet. Working with Spencer was very easy, he always responded promptly and with detailed and accurate information. My case was reduced in a plea agreement.

I was arrested in November 2023 for an OWI. Spencer was referred to me and I am forever grateful. He represented me at the 52-1 District Court in Novi, MI. From our initial contact (he returned my call while he was on vacation) Spencer consistently showed a high degree of professionalism and expertise with the process of the law and provided guidance and direction throughout the entire process, all which aided in a very positive outcome. I liked working with Spencer because he demonstrated a calming yet candid presentation with potential outcomes and the necessary steps to be completed throughout the process. HIs communication and availability was outstanding. He always displayed respect to me and to everyone at the court. He is very well respected and organized. Spencer , with all the information gathered, convinced the prosecutor to dismiss the OWI for a much lesser plea. No DUI or criminal record on my driving record. No probation or jail. Spencer was outstanding representing me!

I had called several lawyers prior to engaging Lewis & Dickstein. They were all awful. They only seemed interested in the money, I was just another number and wouldn't fight for me or my family. My husband happened to come across several reviews on Lewis & Dickstein which prompted us to have a call with them. The call led to an in-person meeting. Once I met Mr. Lewis, I felt instantly comforted knowing he had my back and best intentions at heart and would fight for me. Mr. Lewis exceeded expectations. From the first time I spoke with him he told me "I won't let you down, I won't let anything happen to you"...and indeed, he did not. I was charged with drunk driving with high BAC. It was my first offence. I was beyond scared. I was facing possible jail time, lengthy probation and rigorous alcohol testing. Mr. Lewis guided me every step of the way. Advising on what to do and not what to do. He was always available, and responded to every question and worry I had. He was firm but fair with me, no BS. The Judge assigned to my case was widely known for her strict stance on DUI. This did not phase Mr. Lewis one bit, he often reiterated "he won't let anything happen to me". Mr. Lewis was able to negotiate a lower charge of operating while intoxicated, which I plead guilty to. This all happened in a short period of time - it felt like forever - but I was assured this was a quick turnaround. Days before sentencing, I had a violation by missing one of my three daily test times. I was not aware I missed it. As soon as I was aware I went for a urine test, but was outside the allocated 12 hour time frame. This was terrifying. I had been so diligent throughout the process and to miss one right before sentencing was beyond frightening as I knew this would not look good to the Judge. Mr. Lewis and I may have had a few cross words following this incident, it was all in my best interest, and he continued to fight hard for me. At sentencing, Mr. Lewis not only had my testing violation dismissed, he miraculously got me NO jail time, NO probation, no therapy or AA. All I had to pay were some fines. This outcome went beyond my husband and my expectations. It was truly unbelievable. My family and I are eternally grateful to Mr. Lewis! Thank you Randy.

The first thing the Randy Lewis said when we met was"Your in good hands and Ill take care of you" Everything he said was true. He had me feeling much more confident about the case and that we will not just take a plea deal which is what my initial Lawer wanted to do. With only one pre-trial conference Randy was able to bring my charges down from a pretty serious criminal case to a civil infection that equated to a fine and a few points on my license. There is not another attorney I would recommend if you are wanting the best in the business. Thanks again Randy Lewis!

I am so appreciative of the work Mr. Lewis has done for me. After not having a valid drivers license for many years Mr. Lewis was able to change that. He walked through the process every step of the way. Any questions I had he took the time to thoroughly explain. My appeal for my license was a little complicated but that didn't concern him one bit. He worked very hard on my case and went above and beyond. I can't thank him enough because I now have my driving privilege's back and all thanks to him. He really helped get my life back on track. I am now in pursuit of the job I wish I had Years ago and now its becoming a reality. Thank Randy, your awesome!

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.
