Christopher helped me with my speeding ticket. Instead of me getting 4 violation points and huge speeding ticket he was able to convert it to "1Opening and closing vehicle doors" ticket. So, I paid lesser for ticket and got 0 violation points. Besides, Christopher was extremely responsive and transparent throughout the whole process. Highly recommend!

I don't even know where to begin to explain how grateful we are we hired Chris Pelli. My husband & i went to several consultations with different attorneys trying to find one that we felt that really understood our case, one who showed compassion, drive, professionalism, knowledge, & we were blessed to find Chris he treated with the utmost respect, he showed full interest in our case. At all times we felt very confident in our decision to hire Chris, we didn’t any promises, he simply shared his knowledge & we felt like he was the right person to take on our case! & time after time he showed us that we had made the right decision. I would absolutely recommend Chris to anyone who’s looking for an attorney in his field!

Robert Parrott of Parrott Law Firm handled a misdemeanor criminal case for one of our family members. He provided us with detailed information before the court proceedings and valuable guidance in making decisions as to how to continue. He was well prepared for the court proceedsings and his familiarity with the court system provided a tremendous advantage. He always explained what would be happening in easy-to-understand language not in legal terminology.
He showed he really cares about his clients. He was compassionate, thoughful, and sympathetic about our situation and the client. He treated the client with respect under difficult circumstances.
One of the wonderful qualities of Robert Parrott is his immediate response when you contacted him. Communication is key in any situation, and he always returned our calls, texts, or emails very quickly. Which in this day and age is very imprssive. It brought peace of mind knowing he was only a call away to answer any question.
We cannot speak highly enough regarding the knowledge and professionalism of Robert Parrott. We enthusiastically recommend him.

I had a vindictive ex-partner situation. They tried to take me to court for domestic violence, and the court day was days away. I was recommended Attorney Robert Parrott via a business contact. Robert responded quickly, on a Sunday. By Monday afternoon Robert had a defense plan. This made me relax and feel confident about the upcoming court date.
Tuesday I was lucky to find a witness in my favor, whom Robert quickly incorporated in the defense strategy. Wednesday was court day. Robert navigated the hearing well. The Judge ruled in my favor!!!
I was also pleased with the invoice. Another lawyer had actually wanted double that, as a flat fee.
All in all, Robert is real smart and fast, and he fixed my legal problem. And without fleecing me. :-)))

We were represented by J. Patrick Ellington with The Law Offices of J. Scott Smith. Our minor child was in the wrong place at the wrong time and was facing some serious charges. Patrick worked patiently with the DA and was able to reach a resolution that resulted in the charges being dropped. It was the best possible outcome for our family. We are grateful for their representation.

I hired Brian to help clear up tickets that were two years old, 1 for speeding, the other for driving without a license. My tickets and failure to appear fees were over $600. I paid Brian less than 20% of that, My speeding ticket was dismissed and the driving w/no license was deferred and then also dismissed and i paid a $150 fine. It was the best possible outcome.

I got two tickets within the same time period, one was for an electronic use while driving and the other was for speeding. I contacted Brian Guerra immediately once I realized I would not be able to appear in court and fight either of them. I'm glad I did because he got my speeding ticket dismissed and my electronic use while driving deferred. No defensive driving, thank god!!!

We were seriously injured in a head-on crash with an underinsured driver. Our injuries far surpassed his coverage and maxed out our underinsured motorist coverage. Eric was thorough, competent and a constantly reassuring advocate for us through a yearlong process of being made whole. He worked with Medicare, our insurance, the other driver's insurance, 23 hospitals and 5 Doctors to make sure we got all the bills paid and a fair settlement. We never were in doubt about where matters stood and what the likely outcome would be. So supportive and reassuring. Great service.

My son was facing a serious misdemeanor charge, and it looked as though there was not a way out. Thaddeus is a genius at negotiating, and he knows the law. My son's charges are deferred for a year with a chance at expungement. We are blessed beyond measure and thankful for his services.
Jessica is a blessing. Thank you both for all of your help, for taking my son's case and for fighting for his freedom. We are eternally grateful. God bless.

I was facing 3 felony charges and when I contacted Mr. Furlong’s office, Jessica was the first one I spoke with. She was absolutely incredible, so nice and friendly, and was able to make me feel better about the situation at hand. Mr. Furlong had delivered on every single thing he said he would do for me, and was able to knock all 3 felonies down to one single misdemeanor and keep me from going to jail. He had given me the absolute best outcome for my situation and I truly can’t thank him and Jessica enough!!

I cannot recommend Mr. Furlong and his paralegal, Jessica, enough!
I was facing a DUI charge and was at risk of having my security clearance impacted. Not only did they get the charge dismissed, but it is being expunged from my record!
The service and expertise that Furlong and Associates provided was first-rate and gave me peace of mind. I would not hesitate to recommend or hire them again, should the need arise.

Roy Law Group helped our family win a difficult disability case. We couldn't have managed the amount of work ourselves, so the help was critical and invaluable.

10 Mar, 2024 by Me gr
First and foremost, my wife and I are extremely appreciative of the Roy Law Group. They are now family to us and we could not have dealt with the insurance company alone. The people that work for Roy Law Group took us on and walked us through every step of the long process. I wish we could recommend them higher than this review. Our story of "why" we recommend Roy Law Group. My wife suffers from Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) as a result of a horrific automobile accident and epilepsy. At first, her short term employment disability kicked in without any issues. We noticed a change in the disability insurance as my wife's treatments continued past the six month mark. We were told by the insurance company she was not going to receive long-term disability. The insurance company lied stating long-term disability was not selected for her at time of employment. Being she has TBI it was very difficult for her to understand what was happening. I had to do the work to find her original employment signing paperwork showing she had signed up, checked the box, and paid for this service. This was the first time we realized the insurance company was not here to "help" my wife. During this stage we received many complicated paperwork assignments from the insurance company and threats she was going to be dropped from coverage. You could feel the insurance company just wanted us to give up so they could save money. They do not care about your actual wellbeing. We did not give up like they wanted us to do. Months prior to the one year mark the threats became real as the insurance company randomly sent my wife a denial of coverage letter. They gave a ridiculous reason stating they felt she was fine now and was dropping her from long-term coverage again. Mind you, she had only been on long-term disability for a few months. Even though she was still receiving medical services and had multiple doctors stating the opposite. We did not accept the insurance games anymore and looked for help. Thankfully we talked with the Row Law Group. They are amazing people from the start and tell you up front what they will do. No false promises, as they walk you through realistically if they were able or not able to help and why. Luckily for us they saw what the insurance company was doing and had dealt with this same company many times. I love the fact they listen to your situation and you know they are in the fight with you. I have never seen complete strangers be an advocate for the truth and justice like the Row Law Group is. Over the process I could not imagine anyone else doing such an amazing tailored job to our situation as them. We have now had my wife's long term disabilities reinstated and now moving forward the insurance company has to still deal with our protectors the Row Law Group. If you are going through the ringer and fighting with an insurance company over short/long-term disability just stop the stress and fight alone. Don't delay like we did just CALL Row Law Group now. I wish we had called them earlier and my wife would not have had to cry or worry as much during the earliest stages of the fight. Our family is so grateful to the Row Law Group.

It was a year ago my husband and I both frantic and emotionally fragile made an appointment with Kristin after finding her profile in superlawyers. Our situation we knew was going to be challenging because we are Grandparents and our daughter had left her husband for another man and took the children. The story also involved a few other pieces of drama just like most cases involving custody, divorce, visitation etc. We met with Kristin for a consultation and she listened to our story, took notes and spent time explaining things along the way. We knew we wanted to hire her immediately however she had a commitment during the timeframe we needed. She asked us to wait and she made a phone call to another lawyer that she said she uses as a mentor. She arranged for us to connect with the lawyer she spoke with. My husband and I were just so impressed with her sincerity and going above and beyond by finding us someone she trusted to help us with our case. Bottom line, if you are lucky enough to retain this wonderful person and dedicated lawyer do it!

I had a frivolous charge against me, by a coworker who was notorious for assaulting peers. On the verge of being fired from his job for frequent assaults, and in an effort to save his job, the coworker filed 'unwanted touching' charge against me, as I pushed him away during an assault.
The Richland police were unhelpful, unwilling to accept facts, or even call our boss or other coworkers who would confirm the situation.
The prosecutor was unwilling to investigate.
Christine was very helpful. I appreciate her legal knowledge, skill in the courtroom, and her excellent communication ability.
This charge has now been dropped, due to Ms Bennett's efforts. Many thanks!

I have a great deal of respect for Ms. Bennett and how intuitive it was to work with her. Working with Ms. Bennett made my first experience with the law pleasant. Ms. Bennett showed the confidence and persistence it takes to be the best attorney. I felt at ease explaining the most difficult day for myself because I knew she was going to try her best to hear me and help me. When the court suggested fines and jail time, Ms. Bennett suggested alcohol treatment and therapy. 4 counts against me turned into a case dismissed, 8 months sober, and a whole new perspective on myself and my own career.

Words can't fully express my gratitude and appreciation for Mr Dylan Greenwood. I hired Dylan in 2018 for a DWI case. Dylan was ontop of my case and kept me well informed throughout the process. Dylan and his team worked very hard to have no negative impact or points on my license. He is a very respectable, knowledgeable and honest attorney, with experience handling DWI's and other criminal matters. I'm very happy I made the decision of choosing him. I would recommend him to anyone!

Scott Johnson and his partner Deric Orr have gone above and beyond.
My case started in March 2015. It is now June 2021. Everything is finally over.
Every step of the way, one factor or another slowed my case down.. Although the efforts that these two beautiful men put forth showed their worth time, and time again.
I went from facing 8+ years in prison for a crime that happened before 2008, to being sentenced with 15 days Jail and 15 days Work Crew.
I don't know the full details of all the effort they put in, although the only bad news I was ever given was that something happened to slow the case down.. Whether it be a vengeful prosecutor, or someone else's screw up. Every step was arduous and stressful, I've been a ball of anxiety... But these two never gave up. I paid an initial sum of $6,000-$8,000 (forgot the amount).. And not a single time was a requested or required to pay more.
I believe the effort put into this extremely arduous case far exceeds the price that was paid. Based on anecdotal evidence, Scott Johnson and Deric Orr are the best Defense team in all of Eastern Washington.

I was involved in a dispute back in 2023. I really had no idea of where to start or how to navigate the legal process. From our first call, Atty King explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand. She was always very responsive via email, phone or text. When I had questions, she had solid answers! She is kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and very easy to talk to! She made me feel comfortable and I will always recommend her to anyone who needs representation in Loudoun County.

I was charged with reckless driving and I tried to fight it without a lawyer and that took 3 month when the judge postponed the dates even if the officer was not present. I hired Mark and he gathered all the evidence and the date of the hearing he explained to the judge how the bureaucracy of the entire court process took my time as well as the judges and the judge threw the case and dismissed the entire charge. Mark was very professional and to the point. I highly recommend him.

Mrs. Graziella Bianchi is without a doubt the very best criminal lawyer I've ever come crossed!!!
I was being charged with a very challenging felony and misdemeanor some years back. My situation wasn't the easiest though, at that time I was also in the process of obtaining legal status in this country and being charged with those type of charges was a definite and clear way to deportation; at least that's what the two previous two lawyers said about my case, "there is no point of fighting the case" they said, I was doomed and I was going to return to a country a barely knew...But my family and I didn't want to accept it, and so we kept trying! and I'm glad we did ! One amazing Immigration lawyer referred her to us, and that's when everything changed for the better for me...The moment you walk into her office and start speaking to her, you realize this is no ordinary lawyer. As I finished telling her all about my case, a part of me thought that she was going to do the same as the previous lawyers and tell me it was a lost case...but no.. she listened, took a moment, and made some calls...after that, she told me that she was going to represent me, and although it was in fact a difficult case, I could just tell she believed in my case, but most importantly she believed in me, she believed I didn't deserve to get deported, and I deserved to stay here...Long story short, after multiple court visits before judge...I was finally free! (No, I wasn't in prison but my charges were dropped! and FREE was exactly how I felt!) and it was all thanks to Mrs. Bianchi, for all her hard work and dedication...I remember feeling so thankful to God for letting this amazing person represent me and not throw me out like the others did...Thanks to her I am now living my life here happily.
THANK YOU AGAIN MRS. BIANCHI!! I cant stress that enough! You are truly an amazing, honest, caring, brilliant, and diligent lawyer! I wished there was many more like you! May God always bless you and your family!

Ms. Medvin is the One and only lawyer I would recommend and a exemplary professional. I now understand why she's one of the best lawyers in the DMV area. I had very minimum interaction with the Judge, she was my shield. She even fought for me to get a down-graded charge from the initial charge. My initial interaction with her was brief and straight to the point. She recommended a few tasks for me to complete to potentially assist in confronting the given charge, and she went to work to build on my case. Her knowledge of the law and work ethic is second to none and her communication throughout my case was excellent.
Regarding any legal matters, I would highly recommend her services to everyone. You're in excellent hands and safe with her.

If you need a criminal defense attorney, look no further. Don't make the mistake of scrolling past Marina Medvin and not immediately reaching out to her. I'm going to do my best to describe Mrs. Medvin in mere words. Unfortunately, there's not enough words in my vocabulary to properly describe what an amazing, hard working, dedicated, intelligent, caring, spirited, talented, feisty, and tenacious fighter she will be on your behalf! You won't find better, period. She knows the law better than most people who've been practicing twice as long. If you want to feel safe knowing that you have the best to legal representation you can get, you will not regret hiring Marina Medvin. I can't make that any clearer.

I got stopped for reckless driving in Fairfax. I know that it's not the most serious offense in the world, but I was still pretty scared once I read up on it online. So I immediately did a search for traffic attorneys in Fairfax and found Mr. Ervin. He met with me for over an hour, explained how the court system handles reckless driving cases, and things that I should do prior to my case. I really think he cared about my case. We got it reduced to just a traffic infraction, so I don't have a criminal record.

JC Estevez and Nicole Naum are phenomenal attorneys. I was accused of a heinous crime that I did not commit at the age of 16. They were extremely professional throughout the entire process. JC and Nicole always gave me the pros and cons of every situation that arose along the way. They spent numerous hours of time preparing every little detail for trial. After almost 4 years I finally had my chance in front of a jury and these two went to work on my behalf like no other. I was found not guilty and thanks to their expertise and believing in me I can now move on with my life. Thank you JC and Nicole.

If you’re looking for a well-respected and highly intelligent Attorney to represent you, there is no need to look any further. I would, without a doubt, highly recommend Ms. Lorrie A. Sinclair, Esquire to anyone seeking legal advice or representation. Ms. Sinclair showed the highest professionalism and expertise with regards to my representation in a traffic case. Ms. Sinclair maintained communication with me from the time I requested her services until we left the court room. With her guidance and suggested recommendations for actions I needed to take prior to my court date, she was able to dramatically decrease my traffic charge as well as all potential fines. She’s definitely on my speed dial in the event I need her services again, or if someone I know needs the services of 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.
