I am 60yrs old and had NEVER been arrested or in serious trouble until i found myself in a soap opera type nightmare with LVPD reading me my Miranda rights! I was being falsely accused of bullying & assaulting my elderly mother that I was caring for. I was scared out of my wits and having trouble seeing ANY way out of going to jail. Suddenly i went from loving daughter to an alleged abusive caregiver. My unethical, greedy brothers thought they might get cut out of our mothers will so they plotted (to the best of their ignorant ability) to discredit me and manipulate my mother into tossing me into jail and them directly into her bank accounts. I had heard of Amber months ago in passing. I NEVER thought I’d need a defense attorney. Thank GOD for Amber Fuhriman. I got on line and frantically searched for a defense attorney. I recognized her name and called. She answered. The police had gone to corroborate (or not) my version of events when Amber answered my call.
She listened patiently to my plea for help to keep me from being arrested. She quickly assessed my situation, asked a few important questions and then calmly extracted me from the abyss I had begun to sink into. She told me precisely what COULD happen next. Thats what happened. She explained what to do if and when it did happen, and as succinctly and concisely as a preacher on a pulpit would, she calmed my frayed nerves with facts. She allowed me to function in a calmly educated manner. when I felt like I was being railroaded she armed me with facts so that I didn’t fall into my evil brothers trap: Rattle me so I would melt into a puddle of tears, followed by outrage and indignation, my brothers pushed all the buttons that were installed in childhood, all fueled by age old sibling rivalries. Amber helped me keep my cool and not lose control of my emotions. She stated facts and kept me out of jail. I want people to know what she did for me. I did NOT get arrested. Ambers counsel allowed me to maintain my dignity in a moment when I could have lost it. Shes that good. Thank you Amber.

Ms Amber Fuhriman was a beacon of hope to my spouse and I at a time when our options appeared to be none and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed impossible. Before we hired Ms Fuhriman, we talked to several lawyers and they all said there was no chance for my spouse to be able to come back to the US after being sent back to his country, and much less to ever get a green card. Not only was she able to defend him from an unjust accusation, her calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and family. Thanks to Ms Amber my spouse is back in the country with me and he is now a legal resident of the USA.
We are eternally grateful for her service and I hereby recommend Ms Amber Fuhriman without reservation.
My name is Rodrigo, I am from Los Angeles, California.

I consulted with Ms Fuhriman about my case. She listened to my concerns and gave me very valuable advice. This was the second time I asked Ms Fuhriman for help. I received an unjust ticket and she was able to help me get it resolved. Thank You Ms Fuhriman - You are the Best

I found Alyssa here through Avvo. I sent multiple personal and detailed messages regarding my horrific family law matter. Alyssa sent me a message very quickly and answered all of my concerns in an honest and caring fashion. I retained Alyssa after working with two previous attorneys and with the need of her representation for my court date which was only four weeks away. Alyssa accomplished more in four weeks to help me than my other two attorneys did in two years!
Alyssa is very honest and tells you the good, the bad and the ugly which I love and appreciate. She goes above and beyond to answer the tremendous amount of emails I send her.
We ended up getting everything I wanted during our hearing. She literally blew me away while I’m court and when it comes to a horrific custody battle, she truly put my children’s needs and my desires front and center and fought for my family in the most impressive and short amount of time.
I’m LAS Vegas, there isn’t another family law attorney that can hold a candle to Alyssa. If you are in a position where you ever need a family law attorney, contact Alyssa today! You will truly have your family in the hands of an angel!
Thank you for everything, Alyssa. Words will never be able to express my gratitude to you in words!

It's not every day that you get put into a headlock, but in this situation I was. Like an ostrich with its head stuck in the ground, I felt like I had nowhere to turn for help when I needed it the most. But thats where Phillip came in. Moments after contacting him for legal advice, we got connected and he opened my eyes to the full picture of my situation. His unbiased approach really gave me a clear cut view of what I needed to do and it set me up on a path to success. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is ready to kick butt in their legal case.

Mr. Kimbrell is knowledgeable of the Atlanta legal environment. He communicated with me with full patience and care. He investigated my case in details to know everything happened and could happen about my case. Finally it ended up with a perfect deal that I didn't even entered the court room! Mr. Kimbrell is very professional and client-friendly!

Darrel is knowledgeable about the legal environment in Atlanta area. Unlike other attorneys I have been talked with, Darrel really cares about your case and he is willing to listen for your opinions. Darrel is not one of the most affordable legal service provider in Atlanta. However, you will understand his value as soon as you talk with him. A great choice indeed.

I hired Peter Billings for a traffic violation and my experience with him was everything that one would hope for when hiring a lawyer. When I first contacted him, he got back to me quickly and was confident in being able to help me. Upon first meeting him, for the free consultation, he was nonjudgmental making me very comfortable telling him the complete situation. He also was very interested asking specific details and explained all the possible outcomes and the possibilities of each. I met with other popular lawyers locally and Billings was the most respectful of my time giving his complete undivided attention. Additionally, he is competitive in his pricing and made it clear he wasn’t going to lose a customer over costs. When I hired him, he communicated with me during the entire process and always returned my calls promptly. To top it off, he was able to get the best outcome possible.

These are words I'd use to describe Matthew Schultz. But after all they are just words on a screen you are reading.
Matthew recently helped me in a suit I was going through. His guidance went beyond any expectation I could have ever have of an attorney. He went above and beyond to ensure every one of my questions were answered, issues solved and concerns addressed. I would utilize his services again without hesitation. If you are in need of a solid attorney, look no further, Matthew Schutz IS your guy. My family and I are more than appreciative to have the case settled and behind us. We honestly owe it all to Matthew. 5 stars is all that is offered as a rating, honestly 5 stars doesn't even compare to the personalized service we received. Thank you! From now on, we know who to call, and now if you're reading this review, you do too!

Hired Mr Schutz to represent me in Hopewell Twp NJ traffic court for going 84 in a 50. I was hoping to get it reduced to a two point violation. I pled guilty to non point violation and subsequently saved thousands on insurance. Subsequently I gave him all my business except divorce and lawsuit from Chabad of Hunterdon. Unfortunately he did not want that job, because he quoted us many multiples of his usual fee. Schutz would have won since testimony seemed to indicate in my opinion the only witness misrepresented material facts. Takes a Rabbi to beat a Rabbi. Matthew, please handle the appeal. I believe you will be appalled after reading the transcript.

Mr. Jarvis was hired by my son and myself just over a year ago. We are from another state so finding that “perfect” attorney was very crucial. I believe we found that when we found Mr. Jarvis. He definitely knew which direction to direct my sons case. I thank his paralegal for all her help. Mr. Jarvis God Bless you for all you do. You I believe are truly a remarkable attorney.

In the first meeting Mr Jarvis gave excellent advice that kept us from saying or doing something that would have hurt our case. Through out the process he was always available to speak with. His staff is exceptional and kept us informed of any/all changes.
Mr Jarvis is a very good lawyer. Thank you for helping us.

Faced with a multiple count complaint, I was looking at a possible 20+ year sentence. That, plus my poor health, just about guaranteed I might never see the light of day again. My first impressions of Mr Barone were of confidence, compassion and experience. In short order, Mr Barone had prepared a defensive battle plan for my case. When he presented it to me there was no sugar coating or outrageous promises. He explained his plan and warned me that I would need to be involved.
Mr Barone and his staff ensured I was kept up to date on the court proceedings throughout the case. He also explained any and all questions that I or my family members had about the case. He is a very personable man and easy to talk to.
To my advantage Patrick did not take no for an answer when dealing/ bargaining with the Prosecuting Attorney. He stated to me that he thought I should not be incarcerated, and that is exactly what he fought for and won for me.
I truly believe he negotiated a second life for me and I will be forever grateful for that.
I would also like to mention that Mr Barone removed his attorney's hat and graciously offered advice on counseling that has been invaluable.
Mr Barone, I can not thank you enough for the help you’ve given me.

The first thing I noticed about Mr. McDevitt upon meeting him was his friendly demeanor. I was very impressed with his past work history and well read resume. Mr. McDevitt is an extremely thorough lawyer, he likes to cover all bases. He represented me in a criminal case and I'm glad he was my lawyer. Mr. McDevitt will tell you how it is whether you like what he says or not because he tells you what you need to hear about your case. He isn't afraid to go to "bat" for you either. Mr McDevitt believed me and believed in me and he just didn't fight for me he jumped in with both fists! He is definitely a real fighter that will fight for you and fight for your case.
If you are in need of help, contact Mr. McDevitt, you will be very pleased with the outcome and in the end you and he will both be winners. Trust in him, hire him, excellent representation, very professional and very thorough and above everything else, he'll fight for you!

A criminal charge is never expected by most families. The urgency, seriousness, and despair can be understood only by the people or their families who had that experience. My son was charged with a misdemeanor which had never been imagined based on his school life. Mr. Hall was strongly recommended by my trusted colleague’s spouse who is also an attorney. With a wish to grab a straw in the middle of a miserable feeling, I left a message to his staff member, a nice lady, who had always been kind and calm. He called me back in the afternoon on the same day. My first impression of him was his confidence without hesitation and knowledge. He explained the process in detail, and we met after a week. I was surprised by his insight about the key aspects of the case and whom he should contact. To me, he had eyes seeing the whole picture from above and more than a sufficient network to get the necessary information and help in my county. Moreover, he showed understanding and emotional support, which is, I believe, a rare skill to the professional who deals with the law. He treated us as respectful human beings. He told us that there was a chance that my son could receive a stet, but the verdict was leaning toward PBJ in the process. On the court day, the final verdict my son recieved was stet! A miracle happened to us. Mr. Hall did not give up the possibility of stet and tried his every effort during the painful five weeks and even in court. Like an excellent pilot in severe turbulence when passengers can have no control, Mr. Hall persistently and nicely maneuvered our case so we could survive the worst experience in our lives. My wife and I sincerely appreciate Mr. Hall for saving my son’s future and us. If my friends ask me, I will strongly recommend him without any reservations.

Our son was a college student at Salisbury University and was wrongfully charged with first degree rape, which can carry a life sentence! We knew on the advice of attorneys in our hometown to find a lawyer in the area who knew the way things worked in Wicomico County. Mr. Hall was a former prosecutor so he knows how both sides think, and he knows the judges! William worked diligently on our sons case through the help of a private detective and an expert witness to prove to the state that this was not a rape case at all and had the matter resolved to a simple misdamenaor with a "time served" sentence. All the other charges were dropped! William took the time to answer our questions and and kept us updated every step of the way! He never made us feel like we were bothering him and understood how difficult this was on our family. Most importantly, he genuninely cared about our son and was able to get him his freedom back! If you ever find yourself in any kind of trouble on the Eastern shore don't hesitate to call William Hall! We're sure glad we did!

I had an outstanding warrant from a while back on a misdemeanor charge. I now live in Florida so I needed to hire an attorney that could facilitate the release of the warrant as well as see if there was a solution to this whole nightmare. I started to search and came across Ryan McAllister. I reached out via email to several attorneys at that time and honestly Ryan was the only one who responded that he was willing to help me out. I didn't act on matters immediately because I was saving up to pay Ryan as well as any court associated costs. Once I did have enough to move forward I again contacted Ryan and provided the information that he needed to proceed. Ryan took time to research and find out what was going on. It turned out the warrant was no longer in effect as of March 2019. Ryan was able to get all this information very quickly and delivered the excellent news. in all this I still had not given Ryan a dime. I then asked Ryan what is the charge for his assistance in this situation and to my absolute shock was told there would be no charge. Ryan was just happy to be able to give me the great news. If you need someone on your side who is a go getter. Ryan is your guy. I hope to never need his services again but should the unfortunate need arise, He'd be my only call .
Thanks Ryan for all your help

I began working with Ryan and the group (Susan) back in December when I filed for Divorce. To be honest, I didn’t know what to expect going in... there was a lot I didn’t understand and truly never expected to be in this position let alone being the one to file. Ryan met with me and I was instantly at ease in a way that I was no longer in this alone. He was detailed, honest, didn’t push or want anything more than what I wanted. Unfortunately, as time passed things did become complicated and a little frustrating... but both he and Susan handled everything with professionalism and grace. Their communication with me through the process was clear and very very timely. I never had to wait more than a day for a call back or response to an email.
I pray I never have to go through this situation again in my life... but if I do or any of my family or friends ever find themselves in need of legal counsel or consultation... Ryan McAllister is who I will call!

To make a VERY long story short, I hired a well known
Ocean Country defense law firm who's modo was that the whole firm was behind me. Again they were supposedly the best in Ocean County. They're website looked like they could represent OJ Simpson, it was so professional even a bit intimidating, at the time I new I needed the best so I hired them. The attorney who was assigned to me, wanted me to plead guilty to a petty shoplifting charge on the very first appearance and this was also my first criminal offense. That law firm charged me a large fee so there was no way I was simply pleading guilty, otherwise what did I even hire them for? I fired that lawyer on spot in front of the judge, and the court granted me another month to find a new lawyer. Thankfully I found Steve who helped me get this charge dropped to a non-criminal ordinance which was what I needed to continue as a nursing student. When I initially called Steve I was in panic, he told me to relax and we would figure this out and that's exactly what he did. I would recommend Steve to anyone seeking legal representation. I will be calling Steve again soon to help me with a record expungement. PS. Steves fee is fair and he will help you with arrangements if needed.

Seeing as I was only in Georgia for a limited amount of time, and had to relocate up north once my business was completed in Georgia, I needed a lawyer that was considered an expert when it came to DUI convictions. As a DUI defense attorney, Mr. Chestney was able to successfully reduce my potential SECOND (out of state) DUI charge to a reckless charge. It took time (almost three years) and patience, but I knew that it would be well worth the time spent and the money spent for his services. Mr. Chestney handled my case flawlessly. He was able to answer any question I came up with effortlessly and if he was not able to recall an answer immediately, he would then seek out help to find the appropriate answer to provide me with. I recommend him to anyone trying to fight a DUI charge in the Atlanta area.

DUI Charges are one of the most complicated scenarios to face in the legal system; you can find countless videos and articles on how to "beat" a DUI and there are numerous websites and marketing schemes on where to find help. Imagine yourself waiting until the last minute to complete a project for your job, a presentation for your performance review or even study for a final exam in which you have not looked over since the first day of class….this is all part of the DUI experience.
Personal Story – I had made a trip down to Alabama, from Ohio, for a friend’s wedding. On Sunday, heading back to the Atlanta Airport, I was pulled over on I-85 for speeding. The weekend was spent in the south for a friend’s wedding and according to the officer there was a need to investigate further. There is no stronger feeling of uncertainty then a police officer asking you to step out of the car…so after running through the gamut of FST the officer decided to book me for a DUI.
Now, I am business professional and travel extensively for work, both driving and flying around the intercontinental United States. Not only my job, but my career was in jeopardy. When beginning my search through Atlanta Lawyers I can remember some of them asking me “how much are you willing to spend”, “how are you going to pay”, etc. The numerous ads and marketing schemes through google soon became overwhelming.
A referral then came from a friend, which turned out to be one of the best decisions in my life. Mr. Bob Chestney and the Chestney Law Firm had been suggested. Speaking with Bob over the phone, I immediately knew that this was an individual who was ‘genuinely’ ready to provide his assistance. Bob held top level professionalism, with consistent updates, detailed direction and continual reassurance in how to handle my case. Bob and his team are looking after your best interest and will do everything they can to help find a favorable outcome. Bob saved my job and more importantly my career, I cannot thank him enough for his support. It was a true pleasure to have met Bob and his team at the Chestney Law Firm, even though it was through an unfortunate circumstance.
Being able to let another individual have control in your life, such as a DUI Lawyer, takes a tremendous amount of trust and can induce a strong feeling of uncertainty. Bob Chestney is one that I trusted, one who restored certainty and one who was going to make sure that all options were looked at during the case. The outcome was successful at the end of the day! And this all started with a referral from a friend.

I hired Robert Chestney to represent me for two DUI arrests, which were handled very smoothly on both ends. While both cases had a variety of variables involved, Mr. Chestney advised me on the best route to take, which ultimately played out in my favor for both situations. Mr. Chestney goes above and beyond compared to other attorneys I have hired in the past. I would recommend him to anyone that has been arrested for a DUI, or any other serious charge for that matter.

Mr. Pentangelo has represented me since 2020 for a traffic stop that had several different issues. I was scared, embarrassed and most of all afraid of losing my license and my ability to provide for my family. I found Mr. Pentangelo’s information and we met and I hired him for his honestly, his reputation and his courage. Did he tell me what I wanted to hear? No, but he represented me restlessly before Covid, during Covid, got several charges dropped, found the right experts to speak on my behalf and found a solution for me. It was a long and difficult case but I am happy with the outcome. If you need a lawyer who is a pit bull and want the best defense, Mr. Pentangelo is your man.

This was my first time getting in trouble with the law and Minerva Blanchette and her team were SO helpful! She was very upfront with possible outcomes based on my case. My incident occurred right before COIVD hit and my court date kept getting pushed, however, Minerva and her team, especially Tyler, were great at keeping up communication and making sure all my questions were answered. Ms Blanchette is highly knowledgeable and very well known in the local court system. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. I was so thankful for my outcome! It was better than what I could have asked for! Thanks again to the Blanchette team for being s0 great!

BEST CRIMINAL ATTORNEY IN THE AREA!! I came to Mrs Blanchette with an 11 count case which included Trafficking 4oz of Meth, Possession of a Firearm with altered Serial Numbers, DUI, and Possession of a Firearm during the commission of a crime. I had previously hired another law firm in the area and paid them $10,000. That firm could only get me a final offer from the DA of 25 yrs to serve 10 yrs minimum. I contacted Minerva Blanchette 3 days before my plea hearing and she agreed to take the case. Minerva, Tyler, and her staff immediately began working hard to review my case. She was able to find a motion to suppress the evidence in my case and I just walked out of court today clear on all felony counts. All charges were dismissed except 2 traffic violations due to the wreck I was in. I could not be happier and without a doubt would highly recommend this firm to anyone needing an attorney in the Bartow, Cherokee, and North GA Circuit. Minerva saved my life and I could never repay all that she has given me back

I had read about Rick's fantastic rating before I had hired him for a major criminal case.He researched a lot about the specifics of my case and represented me very effectively. He did not promise me anything that was not doable and ensured that every single detail was carefully reviewed. I have great admiration for his legal skills as he successfully handled my entire case spanning over 6.5 years.

Mr. Ryczek did an excellent job for me delivering a great result in my case which could damage my whole life and professional career. His expertise together with his genuine care for the case and client and high intelligence saved me a lot of trouble. I highly recommend his service.
Let me start by saying that I am international PhD student (under F1 visa) from Iran (which could unreasonably amplify the negative effects of any serious conviction on my immigration and education status).
I was arrested by campus police officers at night, while trying to get something from my office. They stopped me for expired tag and after smelling marijuana from my car, they searched my car and did field sobriety test. Long story short, I was arrested and charged with 1) DUI-drugs 2) possession of marijuana (I only had 1 grams) 3) having alcohol open container 4) failure to signal. They also did a blood test after arrest. I should mention that although I was using marijuana a lot those days for sleeping and depression, my driving was not really affected as my tolerance had raised a lot. Since it was my first encounter with cops in US (and I hadn't really researched about my rights and how to interact with cops), I did an awful job (in my opinion) interacting with cops and I trusted them a too much. But they more or less lied to me and made my situation way worse than what really happened that night. Later on, I was very frustrated when I read the police report which was a surrealistic collection of lies.
After bonding out, I immediately started to search for the best DUI lawyers in Georgia and interviewed some of the most known lawyers in the area, as this could affect my career and immigration status massively. Among all the lawyers, I felt more genuine concern about my case, beside being honest about possible outcomes and what he can do and after researching a lot, I realized he is an extremely well regarded and successful lawyer, and therefore the best choice for me. Let me mention for instance that there were another very famous lawyer with a lot of TV appearances, who not only wanted to charge me way more, but also were very pessimistic about the result. Rick did way better than what he was considering impossible!
Throughout the procedure which took around 1 year, he used every chance to dismiss my case for various reasons, which showed to me how extremely knowledgable he is about the details of the law on this subject (once for prosecutors not filing the charges correctly, once for not giving us the blood test and cam video on time, once for the cop not showing up). Our requests did not work mostly because the judge was nice to the prosecutors, but I witnessed that Rick did push for a dismissal whenever it was possible.
Finally after we received the blood test and the video, I realized that the active marijuana in my blood was quite high (0.9 when the limit for DUI in CO is 0.5) and the field tests were not as good as I previously thought. It was not awful, but definitely not good.
So we started to cut a deal. One thing I realized was that it is very important for the lawyers to have good relations with prosecutors, judge and staff (for cutting deals) and Rick had this great as he was very friendly and respectful (and sometimes funny!) and so very much respected in the court. Finally we reached a deal that I was very happy with. They dropped the DUI/possession/open container charges (all drug/alc related charges) and I pled guilty to 1) failure to signal 2) reckless driving. Sentenced to 200 (for 1) and 600$ (for 2) fines (judge dropped 200$). Also a 1 year probation including random alc/drug tests, dui school, community service and Alc/drug evaluation. Rick requested the probation to be terminated after completing my conditions which was accepted. So since I had done all that stuff, after paying the fine on the same day, my probation was terminated and I put all of this big trouble behind!
I highly recommend Rick's service!

My Daughter and I were unjustly accused of a crime that was never committed. Janet was the only attorney that would not only listen to what happened but took the case when others did not want to deal with it. She did her magic and got all charges dropped and have the records expunged. I will be forever grateful for her and her hardworking staff. The “victim” appreciate’s you too.

Joe and his firm helped me in a way that I can’t explain. My divorce was very complicated and the very specific agreement that was drawn up by Joe and his team was executed perfectly. Throughout the process they were very personable, responsible, attentive, and specific in all aspects of my case. Everything from start to finish, although at times, were drawn out, were done to perfection. They protected me, my finances, and my children's future. I have already recommended them to coworkers and clients and will continue to do so as long as I know they are in practice. They took a very negative situation and time in my life and made it go as smoothly as possible. This reduced my stress level allowed me to focus on my own clients and profession as we went through the process together. I can’t thank them enough for their help!

Sadie was recommended to me by a family member, to represent me in my car accident case. When others did not want to take my case Sadie listened and worked effortlessly to get me what I deserved. In the beginning she let me know that the case may take time to settle but to trust the process. As I waited and completed therapy, Sadie and her team communicated effectively and I was always kept in the loop. I believe Sadie and her team was fair and had my best interests in heart. Sadie was able to settle my case without me having to speak with attorneys and I walked away with a great financial settlement. Thank you Sadie. I hope I don’t need your amazing services again but if I do.. you’re my first call.

Attorney Lansden is that rare nexus of honesty, empathy and transparency for her clients and "pitbull tenacity" on their behalf.

Attorney Lansden has restored my faith in the adversarial legal system and the concept of a legal champion on behalf of the wronged.

I was referred to Mack by a friend of mine and he was the best thing that could have ever happen to me in my time of need, he went above and beyond to help to me out.

In the end he ended up having all my charges dismissed and I couldn't be happier, I have referred him to friends of mine already.

I first met Mack when my husband had a court matter. To begin with, we did not know where to start looking for an attorney since we have never had any dealings with the courts. Fortunately, a friend referred Mack to us, along with several other attorneys, but after consultations and lack of feedback from the others, we quickly realized, without any regrets, that Mack was the one we wanted to take our case.
The thing we liked about Mack was that we had access to him 24/7 via his cellphone, and got quick feedback to our questions. He also kept us up-to-date on every step of the case, without us having to ask. He was very meticulous and instrumental in helping my husband to get an earlier date for his court hearing, and got his charges reduced. He even wrote a letter for my son's college (free of charge) so that he was able to get a refund for his school fees, as he was unable to attend school during that challenging time in our lives.
About a year after my husband's case was over, we needed some documents from Mack, and he was on point in getting those documents to us the same day we requested them!
Mack is a Rising Star! He is a very humble Counsel, easy to talk to, with a high level of trust and professionalism. Would certainly recommend him, without hesitation, to anyone looking for an excellent Attorney.

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:
-
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. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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.
