I was represented by Julie Flanagen in my difficult (to say the least) divorce. She was always there for me and felt more like a therapist at times. I am very pleased with my divorce settlement. I would never work with anyone else!

Julie Flanagan is an excellent attorney. I worked with Julie for close to two years on my divorce case. From the beginning, Julie was very clear in our strategy. She knew what information was needed and set up a balance sheet that made everything clear to me. I understood what we were doing and why. She was always available to answer any of my questions and responded quickly and professionally with me on the phone, though email and text. She did an excellent job of working with my ex-husband’s counsel representing me and keeping the process moving forward. Julie defended me in a manner that really worked. I was able to get a fair settlement and reasonable spousal support. I’m back in my home and I am truly thankful. In addition, Julie provided great connections and referrals for me including an excellent accountant and mortgage broker. Julie really cares about her clients. She still checks in with me. If you are looking for a divorce attorney who can get the job done right, I highly recommend Julie Flanagan.

Julie represented me in a child custody matter during a legal separation I had filed, where the mother moved out of state and filed a petition for full out-of-state custody. At the outset, when I had filed for legal separation to retain child custody, I hadn’t yet heard of Julie and went with a law firm that churned my case file, with high billing rates and no results. I started looking for new counsel and found Julie by word of mouth. I’m glad I did! To start, Julie listened to my situation as a single dad to a nine-year son, and gave me a balanced, experienced assessment. Throughout the case, we discussed and collaborated on the best legal strategy to preserve and protect my relationship with my son, always with an emphasis on what was in my son’s best interest, and with building on the practical aspects of presenting my case to the judge. I was particularly impressed with her experience, professionalism in hearings and towards opposing counsel, her calm legal advice when I expressed anxiety about life’s situations with my finances and how the mother wouldn’t cooperate on basic issues, and her ethical approach in handling the matter step-by-step, as well as strategically. Julie was fully prepared for all hearings, and prepared for, presented and argued exceptionally at the custody hearing, where we prevailed. Throughout, Julie did not churn the file, and was conservative in billing fees and costs. And on top of all of that, she took the time to get to know my son, and I felt that she cared about how things would turn out for my son and me personally. I couldn’t ask for better representation!

My spouse and I heard about Robert from one of our good friends, who also hired Robert for their case and liked him so much.
We are so glad we chose Robert as our attorney for my adjustment of status. Robert had been so helpful in every way you could possibly think of: he is responsive, detailed, organized, thorough, well-informed, and a genuinely caring and kind person. Speaking for myself, I am someone who easily gets anxious and overwhelmed for things like this, but Robert explained and helped me understand every aspect I could ever possibly worry about, his professionalism and dedication made the entire process so much easier than we expected. Throughout the process, Robert had always provided the perfect amount of information so that we knew which step we were at and what we should start preparing to stay on track, but not too much info that might overwhelm or confused us on where to even start; he guided us through every step with the exact things we need to do, and I cannot be more thankful for this.
Robert possess all the best quality of a Lawyer, and he excelled in every one of them. All in all, I would genuinely recommend him to anyone!

JUDY COLEMAN, COLEMAN LAW CENTER, LIVONIA, MI IS A STAR. SHE WILL FIGHT LIKE HELL FOR YOU. Judy represented me in a corrupt Wayne County Probate guardianship of my elderly aunt. The state dragged my 96 year old aunt kicking and screaming from her home April 18, 2022 with the baseless claim that she was legally incapacitated. . They held her , against her will, in isolation at Wyandotte Hospital; and, they wanted to show she was legally incapacitated. The claims made by AS and Guardian Care were all lies and baseless. The judge released my aunt and sent her home. Judy is still fighting for me and my aunt as Guardian Care froze my aunt's bank account and they are in contempt of court as the judge ordered them to immediately release her bank account so her 8 prescriptions and oxygen can be paid for...thus far they have not released her account. Judy is working on it. I highly recommend Judy and many people attended that hearing and have requested her information; which. I freely post on FB,

Mr. Dillon was very open and clear cut, he let me know all my options and told me what the court was most likely to do. He walked me through everything as this was my first time in court. I got 6 months probation with an OWI on my record with fines but the MIP was waived. I was very satisfied with my sentencing and would 100% recommend hiring Mr. Dillon to anyone that needs legal help and would definitely consider hiring him again should the circumstance arise.

Mr. Conforti’s honesty, knowledge, and professionalism were a key role in dropping my felony drug charge into a misdemeanor with NO TIME OR PROBATION! He definitely needs to be know as one of San Diego’s best Law Attorneys. I was facing some real time as I was being charged with conspiracy. At the time, they had provided me with a court-appointed lawyer. As we were going through the motions and hearings I still had a feeling of uncertainty. I felt like more could be done to help my case out. I decided to switch lawyers so I started doing my research and came across Mr. Jason Conforti. At first, I didn’t know what to expect since I had never been in any type of trouble. I was worried, anxious, and stressed to say the least. On top of that I still had to manage my work and personal life. But when I consulted Mr. Conforti and explained my situation, he provided me with clear, transparent, and most importantly honest possibilities as well as options. He is real as they come. He does not sugar coat things nor tell you what you want to hear. He’ll tell you exactly what needs to happen in order to help your case and provide you with the most truthful outcome possibilities. I decided to hire Mr. Conforti and that was the best decision I have ever made. I instantly felt relief and like a massive weight was lifted off my shoulders. I was able to trust him 100%. He held constant communication with me, always updating me and reminding me of my court days, meetings, etc. It was definitely a lengthy process but during that time I was able to be at ease knowing Mr. Conforti had my back. At the end, I was able to walk out of court to my family with a misdemeanor and no time. My family and friends cannot thank Mr. Conforti enough for his immense efforts and countless restless days to give me the best possible conclusion. If this sounds like your type of attorney, then Mr. Jason Conforti is the right one for you. He’s an angel sent from heaven. I cannot stress enough his extreme high level of expertise and experience. He is the best at what he does and will not disappoint!!!!!

My mom was in a very difficult federal case, she was facing at least 10 years in prison For something she didn't do, Jason took my mom's case analyzed it and told me the strategy he was going to use to defend my mom, and just as he planned it, that's how things turned out, thanks to God and Jason my mom is free, the charges were dropped and she never had to go to prison or house arrest.
If you are looking for a skilled, strategic and,honest lawyer I highly recommend Jason conforti, not only the best Lawyer but one of the best person I have ever met.

I had a very pleasant conversation with Bill. I called him from Seattle to discuss re-opening my visitation case with my daughter who lives in San Diego. It turned out I have to hire a lawyer from Seattle, but Bill gave me direction, contacts, To-Do's and a whole slew of information and tips and pointers. Very grateful to him and I hope I can find a lawyer just like him here in Seattle!

I hired Steven to represent me in a lawsuit against my employer. I felt there was little chance of attaining any kind of a settlement. Not only did Steven win the lawsuit but I ended up with a much bigger settlement than expected. In addition to his empathy and honesty, Steven has a brilliant mind, loads of patience, and works tirelessly. You can always count on him. Those are characteristics that make him a top notch attorney. I'm thrilled that I worked with him.

I’ve been comsulting with Attorney Grant for several years.
I've had him review several contracts before I sign.
He also did a great job representing me in the sale of my home. Recently, Steven helped my daughter to win her employment dispute. What a relief!!!
One of the things I appreciate most is how he explains things in layman/plain terms. Another thing that impresses me is how quickly he responds to my calls/emails.
I highly recommend Steven without any reservations.

I can’t say enough good things about Steven. He was knowledgeable, easy to work with and so understanding of my situation. What sticks out the most to me about Steven is his honesty. Doing what’s right and being fair is his priority, but he also knows his stuff and isn’t afraid to show it. He was SO helpful. He went above and beyond what is expected of any attorney. I felt like my situation mattered to him and he truly wanted to find justice for me. Well priced. VERY responsive. Gets the job done. I would recommend him to ANYONE in Massachusetts. Thank you Steven! You made a miserable situation SO much easier. You’re in good hands with Steven.

I hired the Law Offices of Steve Rossi PA after receiving his contacts from a friend of a friend. Let me tell you it was the best decision I would have ever made for my children and I. Mr. Rossi and his team are very professional and very attentive to the case. he even provided me with his personal phone number to keep in contact with him if I ever needed to reach out. My son was able to get tested and is not receiving the intervention he needs at school and I proud to say that he is flourishing in school.

In my final days of university, I was faced with a very serious case. Some people who were in positions of power decided to abuse the system, which very easily lent itself to it. I decided to hire a professional and it proved to be the right decision. A lot was at stake in this case, much more than what I had to pay by orders of magnitude. The matters were solved competently and effectively, and I would recommend to all my dear people if they ever have the need for professional help in these matters, hire Rossi.

Dustin Krogh has been my lawyer since my divorce and most recently into a difficult child custody case with a move away. I really couldn’t be happier with him and his firm! He was always responsive and timely.
I feel like I need to say this next part because I’m not a fan of having to do anything inside a courtroom or with Lawyers in general but he actually cared about me. Not just the case and the face value of the challenges it brought, but me. He handled everything cleanly, gave phenomenal advice and helped me through some very tight and tough times. For perspective I’m a Dad in the state of California fighting custody of 2 kids and moving with them out of state.
Through the whole process he kept me grounded, set my expectations accurately, and maintained a professional decorum that I appreciate and admire! If I could give 10 stars I would.

Bill is AMAZING at what he does. I was involved in a t-bone car crash that left me with a fractured leg. He fought with the other driver's insurance company and got me highest pay out they offered for my bodily injury. He also diligently negotiated a fair price to take care of the pending medical bills, which were lowered by 60%. He always kepted me updated on the status of the case and made himself available if I had questions or concerns. Bill is down to earth, and knows how to make someone smile in there time of need! Highly recommended!!!! He is my lawyer for life!

My case in the hands of a bad lawyer would have been a disaster. I found Michael on Avvo after reading all the great reviews. I knew my immigration case was complicated after one lawyer told me she could not in all honesty take it on, because she would be putting me in danger of deportation. The second lawyer just didn't seem capable at all. When i brought my case to Micheal, he carefully looked at everything i had, did amazing research and was able to reassure me that i might have a good chance to adjust my status. Without going in all the details, he did perform a "miracle" because i am sitting here with my green card! My husband and i are internally grateful to this amazing attorney. Keep doing great work Michael you are affecting people's lives more than you will ever know.

Life is good, your career is prosperous, you’re loved by your kid, you’re grateful to life for a promising future, then you receive that appalling phone call. Someone is telling you that you’re being investigated by the police, falsely accused of the worst crime you can imagine, and that you must call a lawyer. And you’re advised to contact Attorney Rick Lougee.
That happened to me, it may be happening to you as you read this, and I was very fortunate to get Lougee’s name. I’m the living case-dismissed proof that hiring Rick Lougee is the right decision when your entire life is in jeopardy.
Always keep in mind Lougee’s principle: You never talk to the police. Throughout my case, sadly, I realized that the police’s investigation is sloppy, they’re lazy in finding facts, the prosecution is ideologically contaminated (e.g. #MeToo), and sometimes, like in my case, rigged.
Rick Lougee assembles an effective and unshakable investigative team for all his cases. For my case, they started working almost immediately. In a matter of a couple of weeks, they revealed the facts that would in time form the foundation for my innocence. They dug deeper than the prosecution during the discovery process, and they found a considerable number of facts and police reports that should have persuaded any police detective to take a closer look at what was going on in the accusers’ house in the first place. But remember, in today’s environment, if you’re accused, you are guilty until proven otherwise. Lougee was determined to demonstrate my full innocence and systematically rejected any proposal of a plea bargain from the prosecution. We agreed that we will go all the way for our battle at trial.
From my experience, Lougee operates using three strategies: He is brashly honest and clear with you about the difficulties of the case. He strategizes with a military mind, planning always under the worst scenarios. He puts extreme care to the detail of law’s fundamentals in his motions, executing the defense brilliantly and effectively in court. I was fortunate to see Rick fighting for me in court. I saw him delivering at least two Perry Mason moments for my case.
My case was complicated by the conundrums of the pandemic, which caused a long waiting process. The nature of my case involved false memories of abuse. Lougee undertook a careful and thoughtful search for the best expert witness from very prestigious academic institution. He covered all the corners of my case, never underestimated the prosecution, and never left my case to the odds. We were ready for trial.
In a fortunate change of events and new information, Lougee discovered a pattern in the police detectives in charge; they were secretly coaching the accusers to provide favorable evidence for the prosecution. And in a most disgraceful act, the police department destroyed all the evidence that we know existed. This triggered the dismissal of my case.
During all my predicament journey of my case, I felt confident that Rick would use all his experience and talents to destroy the prosecution’s case in order to save me from a terrible fate. My confidence was based on Rick’s experience. He has an extensive list of cases that demonstrate he never is afraid of how big the case or the prosecution is. He has been in David vs Goliath situations. He has historical cases featured in newspapers and magazines like The New Yorker, or you can find his cases in academic books on criminal law. But that’s the last thing he cares about. He is focused on beating the prosecution case, but most importantly, he cares about demonstrating your innocence. He will fight for you, call him.

I was falsely accused of two sexual felonies and was facing 17 to 39 years in prison. That amount of time would equate to life in prison for crimes I never commited. My life was coming apart and because the system is heavily stacked against the defendant, I was almost hopeless. We hired Rick Lougee because of his reputation as an outstanding attorney and his over 40 years of experience working difficult cases, especially sex related cases in multiple states. He took my case and immediately, between his investigators and his team, began to build the case proving that the charges were unfounded. He was very honest with me about what to expect and always prepared me for the next step. He was also very empathetic and understood on a gut level what I was going through being unjustly accused of a terrible crime. I am a multiple tour combat veteran and it is no exaggeration to say that this situation was the most terrifying of my life. Rick’s experience and knowledge of the law, law enforcement officers, prosecutors and CPS officials was unquestionable and invaluable. He had the BEST investigators and colleagues working hard and diligently preparing our defense and was, at all times, straightforward and professional. Rick’s team built such a strong case that the Prosecutors did not feel that the case should even go before the Grand Jury and, therefore, the charges were dismissed. From a possible 39 years in prison to the prosecutor’s decision not to indict was the worst rollercoaster ride of my and my family’s lives. Even after the case was dismissed, Rick provided us with counsel on possible complications and how to move forward with our lives. I am forever grateful that we found Rick and his team. It is not hyperbole to say that he and his team saved my life. I would highly recommend Mr. Lougee to anyone facing serious criminal allegations. He is literally the best of the best!

Mr. Peacock, and his wonderful team, were able to assist me through my recent divorce. I was referred to him by a friend who had retained him previously, and after my initial consultation decided to go with his office for legal assistance.
His office was able to explain the legal jargon in an easily understandable fashion, assisted me with my required paperwork for the legal filings, and were empathic in their approach during a very stressful time for me. They were prompt with their responses to my questions, and reached out to help remind me of specific deadlines we had to meet. In the end, Mr. Peacock's office was able to help me complete my divorce case promptly and secure my personally desired outcome for the case.
I cannot recommend his office highly enough, and Mr. Peacock will be my first choice should I require help navigating any future legal issues.

I needed Mr Peacock once before when he came through for me and helped me when I believed all was lost. He told me not to talk if I was ever arrested. I was recently wrongfully arrested and remembered Stan’s advice.. When I was finally able to call Stan, it was my friend who answered that phone. He was professional and direct. Made recommendations that I immediately followed. Timely suggestions that took the burden out of the criminal matter and helped me take first steps in civil litigation.
Hearing Stan’s voice and answering his questions gave me clarity and provided peace in a confusing and extremely stressful time.

I recently was involved in an accident and cited with multiple violations, some pretty serious. I contacted James and he was able to walk me through the process and meet at a time that was convenient for me. Upon arriving in court James was able to convince the state to disregard the violations and saved me a ton of fines, and potential suspensions of my license. He was very professional, organized, and kept me in the loop throughout the entire process. Thanks James, and I will reach out if I ever find myself in need of an attorney again...but let's hope not.

I had another lawyer briefly before hiring Joni, what a world of difference it made having her expertly defend me! She knew exactly how to proceed and who to contact throughout the process, was incredibly well-prepared before entering the courtroom, and her experience and management of the proceedings and false allegations by petitioner was an amazing example of veteran courtroom experience, with results! She was patient and calm when I needed it, and a bulldog when the case needed it, I can't imagine this case without her representation.

Joni is an outstanding defense lawyer. I was arrested on trumped up charges for a DUI, but unfortunately for me there was not a lot lot of evidence to back up my side of the story. Joni knows every angle to approach a case from and successfully reduced it to a traffic violation. I thought my life was over, but Joni saved me. She is highly experienced and knows exactly how to handle a case to achieve favorable results for the client. She is outgoing and easy to talk to as well - my whole predicament was grim, with seemingly little hope, but she put me at ease right away. Additionally, her rates are very reasonable, especially considering the quality of her services as a defense attorney.

In the past I've had a few less than perfect family law experiences. In my mind, James Casey reset those standards and set the bar high. I had called multiple lawyers initially most of which seemed annoyed of the time I was taking and the questions I was asking. James was quick, efficient and personable. He guided me through a mostly unfamiliar process with ease. Cost and payment was fair and flexible. Results of the case were exactly what we expected. I would recommend James to anyone.

I would highly recommend Mr. Casey he is a very professional and honest attorney. It really shows that he cares about the outcome of each and every persons case. Excellent communication whether it be through email or in person he takes the time to answer any and all questions and fully inform you about what options you have with your case. He was appointed my CDA for a case recently and i lucked out because i couldn't be happier with the results and he was able to get my criminal case dismissed.

I had a case years ago in which my prior lawyers, in my opinion, failed to present the case which would have proven I was not guilty for which I was charged. As a result, I took a plea bargain, but the prior lawyer failed to mention the “First Offender” law . After researching the law myself, I hired another attorney whom then passed the case to Mr Healan. I was advised to be patient and he would handle everything. Well, after about 18 months, Mr Healan not only got the case on the docket, the district attorney’s office even spoke on my behalf in a positive manner and the “Retro First Offender” order was granted! I have since asked a question via email, and much to my surprise, unlike prior lawyers, was answered within five MINUTES! air you need an professional attorney, I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Billy Healan!

Johnathan Minkus worked and won a very hard case for me. He was able to overturn my prior conviction and I could not be more grateful. Whenever I talked with Johnathan about how important this case was to me and my family I felt like he really understood where I was coming from. I always felt like he was also very honest with me from the very beginning and all the way through the court proceedings. Carrol was also very nice and was excellent to work with as well. She stayed in contact and answered any questions I had along the way. I cannot put into words how thankful I am today for their help. I highly recommend this lawyer.

I am a unique client. I like to get “into the weeds” on the legal side of things. Mike was excellent at working with me on two separate occasions.
In 2017, Mike negotiated on my behalf to keep my house and avoid high child support payments and settle for 50/50 custody in my divorce case in Cobb County. This enabled me to stay in my child’s life on a constant basis and remain a stable parent. After a relocation from the child’s other coparent, I had to step into being a full-time parent.
So in late 2023, I filed a modification case as a Pro Se plaintiff. It turned out to be more difficult than I could navigate after discovery. I knew the law, but didn’t know how to turn it in my favor.
I called Mike again. He quickly brought himself up to speed. We successfully defended delay tactics by the defendant. In less than 4 months, Mike was able to me help successfully settle this case with full custody & child support. I couldn’t have done it without him.
Thanks Mike for your hard work & dedication to resolving 2 cases in my favor.
Mike is the kind of lawyer you tell your friends to call. He’s reasonable, knowledgeable, & well-connected. Turn your major life event back in your favor by calling Mike today!

Shpresa is the most honest, compassionate lawyer I have ever worked with. From our first meeting, she explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions. During a trying time, she had empathy and steered me in the right direction for my situation. I would hire her again, but hopefully, I don't have to.

After 4 months at St Joes and 4 in rehab God's Grace brought me home. Larry helped my family and then me through a very difficult case where he took on a car company and a dealership to help win my case. He was gracious with my son, my mom and me but so willing to put in hard work on the case. He still offers me help as I struggle through therapies. A first class man and top notch attorney. You will not be disappointed with Larry. Thank you Mr Margolis for your continued support!!!

I found myself in a sticky stituation when I voluntarily appeared for and I found myself getting a little twisted around in deposition. I hired Larry to assist me with some changes to my dep. which pretty much brought my worries to a conclusion. The person I was supporting in the case prevailed, and all ended well. I found Larry personal and straight forward. I felt comfortabel knowing had things gone bad for me, he would have been there for me. He has a great since of humor, and can take it as well as he can dish it out.
Do yourself a favor, if you need an attorney contact Larry Margolis.

100% recommended if you want the best outcome for your case! I will be forever grateful to John and his team (Rebecca, Priscilla) for supporting me through my case for 4 long years. John is an exceptional attorney, and you can make out working with him that he is an expert in his field. He is patient with you and is compassionate. He left no stone unturned to get the best outcome for my case which was a dismissal given my multiple collateral consequences. I am so glad I made the decision to go with him 4 years ago. He was always on top of things and kept me updated on my case proceedings. Communication was never an issue. He was always present in person at every hearing which made a big difference. You come across so many lawyers who after taking the fee become indifferent to you but that's not what you will get working with John. With John you will get exactly the support that you need even if it goes on for 4 years due to pandemic or other unforeseen reasons. John goes above and beyond for his clients, and you want a person like him by your side while dealing with difficult situations. I wish you the best John and thank you again for everything.

When you find yourself in a difficult situation, Mr. Coniglio and his office is the one to call. I went through an absolute nightmare that I thought would never end, and his office guided me through it all, always reassuring me that i wasn’t alone with all the chaos. He fights for his clients until the end, and although I hope to never find myself in a difficult situation again, I’d recommend him 100%. Very attentive, and literally always there. Anytime of day! You’re in good hands with him and his office.

John is an outstanding attorney. He listens intently, and comes up with a sound strategy to defend you. And methodically executes on it. Hire him, and wholeheartedly listen to his recommendations and follow through what he asks for, and you will get justice on your side. I was in an unfortunate situation, and was arrested for DUI needlessly. John was thorough in his work, prepared a case and fought for over 8 months to get my case dismissed 10 months from the incident.
He is calm, collected, and has the vision for evolving the case in a methodical way, which is a surefire way to win if you are in the right.
John is also a great human being - I have come to know him through these months and truly enjoyed working with him. He deeply understands the laws, the Monterey county system, law enforcement officials, judges and the district attorney well. He is also well respected by everyone as I have come to witness.

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.
