I don’t even know where to start, words can’t explain how great full I am to have met Mr William, I was blessed one day when I started doing some research, I knew I couldn’t do this alone , I asked God for directions so I went online and saw all the great reviews and I said, you know what, this is the man that I know will help me, I can honestly say that since the moment I read those reviews I said , I will hire this man to be my attorney and I will leave everything in Gods hands, and sure enough, my final court was a success, I got good comebacks he worked with the DA and I had great news. Thank you Mr William Parry for everything that you have done to resolve my case, may God continue to bless you so that you Amy keep helping all the people in need of your service.

Mr. Parry is absolutely professional and empathetic. He guided me through one of my toughest times in my life. This man kept me calm and coached me through my case. The DA didn't pick up my case like Mr Parry assumed so. I was a stress case and I contacted him many of times and a few times late in the evening. He always responded and supported me. Mr. Parry's knowledge of law is impeccable, a very intelligent man. I highly recommend William Parry. He will work hard for you.

As many Kings county residents already may know, the King's county DA's office was replete with incompetence, lazyness and corruption under the Keith Fagundes regime. Cases and charges were being filed that should not have been and had scores of innocent people on the hook for some serious felonies which could have potentially led to prison time. I unfortunately fell into a situation simmilar to the aforementioned. I made a bad choice in who to marry, and upon asking for a divorce, my ex wife decided to lie to the police with a bogus story which resulted in charges being filed that cost me my career and my home. The police report was horribly written, there was no thorough investigation and or even no follow up. It was my word against hers and the report was sent to the DA anyway. At the time I felt that someone would see through her lies and it be thrown out. Unfortunately, it was not and charges were filed. At this point I hired William " Bill " Parry. Let it be noted that it will be worth your while to hire a good private investigator to do his due diligence in fact finding to accurately dispell the charges against you which in turn gives your lawyer ammunition to fight for you. What proceeded was two and a half years of hell and a fever pitch effort in rebuilding my life. Eventually three felonies were dismissed and I was allowed to move on with my life. Although I won, but at great cost. But definitely worth my freedom and my ability to move on with my life without restriction whatsoever. Heed this advice........hire a good investigator, and a good attorney like Bill Parry who knows who the major players are in this sea of characters and legalities to help you through this.

Highly recommend Wendi. I was charged with DUI and failure to maintain lane. Blood sample was twice the legal limit and the video evidence was not in my favor. Wendi was able to get the DUI reduced to reckless driving and the ticket thrown out which was the absolute best case scenario. She is very knowledgeable and she fully explained all possibilities so I was prepared going in. Was able to additionally save points on my license. I gladly took conditions of probation considering the alternative. Having an experienced lawyer was well worth it. Would refer her to anyone faced with DUI.

I hired Shep Zebberman at the recommendation of a dear friend as my attorney after I was being investigated and my son was removed from my home on false allegations from CPS. Mr. Shep navigated through the ordeal with great ease, always making sure I understood everything and allowing me to be comfortable and confident in his abilities. He got my son back to my care after the first hearing of my cps case and got my case dismissed at the disposition hearing. I’m very grateful for him and can sleep better now that my son is back in my care. He was always prepared and on time and gave plenty of notice if there were any changes. I'm grateful for his skills and therefore the outcome of my case. I would certainly recommend him.

Mr. Geller did an amazing job with my case. i was facing some serious time and some very serious charges. Geller showed so much compassion for my life and my story this man cared about me and he genuinely wanted nothing but the best for me i was going through a lot at the time of the crime and we utilized these things in my defense yes i was guilty but i am not a bad person and without Mr. Geller on my side i don't think i would have been able to tell my story i wouldnt have had a chance to show people i have a heart and i am human and i made a mistake i would not have had the same outcome had he not been in my corner fighting for me. he was also constantly in contact with my family keeping them in the loop checking up on them making sure everyone was doing ok and keeping my family calm. he would also come to see me personally while i was detained in our county facility he hand delivered all paperwork pertaining to my case and he went through everything with me to ensure i was 100% informed on everything so i was aware of all possibilities good and bad he relieved a lot of the stress i had once i knew what was going on because in that situation the period of time when you dont really know what will happen is painful there are so many things running through your head at that time it drives you crazy and he put all that at ease i highly recommend acquiring his services god bless you sir and thank you for all of your help this case was a win in my books!

I had a bench warrant that was ongoing for quite sometime. Upon doing my research, I kept coming across Mr. Geller as one of the best lawyers for my situation. I made the call and I’m so glad I did. He took care of everything for me and expeditiously. He wrote a letter to the state’s prosecutors to have it thrown out. Two days later, he called with great news, they decided on dropping the charges!!!! I was extremely happy due to this weight finally coming off my shoulders and I have Mr.Geller to thank for that.

I recently had one of the worst things imaginable happen to me. I had a shady person from my past file a protection order against me, for the simple reason of hurting my career. They knew that this would have a drastic and negative impact on my career so I decided to fight it. There are lawyers in DC who have mastered the Google algorithm so they kept coming up over and over and over again with every search for a DC criminal attorney and when I called to talk to them, I was referred to a different lower level attorney at their firm. I found Jon from his reviews after interviewing 3 other attorneys. His fees weren't the lowest or the highest but in the middle and he was flexible with a payment strategy. He spent time with me to understand the case and understood the outcome I was seeking. These charges were pure fiction and to this day am still in shock at how our legal system caters first to scammers, and only modestly to actual scam victims. Anyway, long story short, less than a week after meeting him we had our court date and he facilitated exactly what he said. If you've been fraudulently accused of something criminal, you need an attorney that will get in and fight for you. They shouldn't stress you out in order to prepare you for rate hikes or fees outside of what was originally agreed on. Jon gave me a flat fee solution and he did everything he said he would. If I ever had a close friend or family member that needed an attorney, I'd immediately refer them to Jon Norris without hesitation.

I first came to Jon a year ago with my very first legal issue. I was honestly floored by how unpretentious, and non-judgmental he was and immediately wanted to hire him. He made me feel at ease, and didn't make empty promises, yet he delivered everything he said and then some. This was a very emotional experience for me, and my future was uncertain in the beginning. At sentencing, Jon fought for me and made me feel much better about my future. Now 3 days later, I feel lighter, happier and free. I highly recommend Jon for his easy-going nature, and ability to make you feel at home. He's trustworthy and always delivers on anything that he says. He and his associates communicated well with me given the distance, and always kept me up to date with any changes. Overall, this was the best (albeit only) experience with a criminal defense attorney, and he was amazing!

I hired Jon to represent me in a misdemeanor sex abuse case related to an incident at a bar. I was initially represented by a public defender that told me the DA would not move off of the charge or offer any sort of diversion. The victim was so upset that she had requested jail time. I hired Jon, who after many court appearances and negotiation with the prosecutor's office got the case dismissed! No diversion, no plea deal - dismissal. It is my understanding that by using a more technical legal approach pertaining to the charges, as well as obtaining some evidence from the bar that worked in my favor, Jon was able to poke enough holes in the DA's case to convince them to drop it. In addition, Jon is responsive to client needs and questions throughout the process. He has a very professional demeanor in court and had a great rapport with the judge in my case. I would absolutely recommend Jon Norris. I would be sitting here with an ugly charge on my record if I had stayed with the public defender assigned to my case.

If I could give Eilam 10 stars I would. Eilam was the second attorney to represent me in my 2nd DUI case. I wish I would have hired him from the start. He represented my husband in a DUI arrest last year and won it quickly. He represented my sister in a drinking and driving accident where he got that thrown out as well. Over a long and difficult 2 years, Eilam got me a dismissal through an appeal. It was THE BEST outcome for my case. Eilam will fight for you and work his hardest to win your case for you. I would not recommend anyone else. He has the knowledge, care and expertise. He is aggressive in court but so caring to his clients. He returned phone calls and emails same day and answered any questions or concerns I had. Thank you Eilam. My family and I are forever grateful for all you have done for our family!

If you find yourself in need of an outstanding criminal defense attorney, look no further than Leah. I chose the one with all 5 star reviews with an office located across the street from the Van Nuys court house. I figured she might know people there which could be a good thing. When I called her with my issue, she was out of the office as her daughter was having a baby. I left a message (crying hysterically) on the voice mail. She called back within 10 minutes and kept me on the phone until I could get set up with immediate face to face help (with her partner in the office). I could literally hear a baby crying in the background. Maybe she was in the delivery room? So the baby and I were BOTH crying--me from the mess I got myself into, and the baby for more obvious reasons. I went in that same afternoon to speak with her legal partner, Mr. Melnick, and they immediately began to work on my case to ease my nerves. They are very good with anything psych related. She went to court--over and over again, without settling for anything less than a dismissal with some community service. This was no easy task as it was a very delicate, difficult, embarrassing, case which had to be presented with kid gloves. This lady knows how to seamlessly deal with the client, DA, and judge while developing rapport in a most sublime way. It would have been in her favor $ and time wise to settle (sooner) as she does not get paid extra money when this is drawn out as it was--but no, she really does care about the client, and drawing this out eventually helped to get this dismissed. I sweat bullets for months and I know it was not easy for her, either, but she is too kind to admit it. She is calm and cool, always maintaining a positive, professional demeanor. When I thanked her, she said, "No need, I love doing this sort of thing". The fact that she apparently has lots of children probably works in her favor (as well as the clients) since she understands all the complexities that one can have and how a mostly good person can get into a legal snafoo. She is anything but judgy. Lastly, Leah actually saved my life. I was ready to jump off the cliff at Universal Studios (although I would never admit to such a thing) because I literally saw no way out when I called her. How she knew this, I don't know. Why she would stay on the phone with me when she was on leave for the birth of her granddaughter is beyond me as well. That said, if you find yourself in a desperate situation, give this lady a call. She may even save your life as she did mine:)

Attorney Angel Cambell & Attorney Sobel were my family’s dream team. Angel was absolutely remarkable to say the least. She was extremely patient with our many questions and phone calls. She did her due diligence with a level of compassion that is hard to find these days. Angel & Mr. Sobel allowed God to use them to turn things around and get my family member home 4 weeks after sentencing. They looked at my family member as an individual and not just a number. Angel knows the law and is remarkably professional, if you want the absolute best; then look no farther. I must also add that their entire staff is amazing (Aura, Stephanie and the rest of their team)!

Attorney Wing, by contrast, is an extraordinarily genuine person who simultaneously manages to deftly navigate the law for his clients-- a balancing act which was impressive to behold, and which made me feel at all times that I was in good hands. I also had the chance to work with Karen, his paralegal, who was attentive and quick with communications. I could not recommend Attorney Wing's services more highly.

After making many call we were not able to find the needed support from the attorneys we call, they wanted us to make an appointment which given the gravity of the situation of needed quick legal counsel. Fortunately, we were referred to Anthony A. Arzili Esq. Arzili made time to meet with us after hours and provide us the most professional support and guidance regarding the family situation.

I called about a traffic citation and I was willing to pay someone to go to court and help me fight my speeding ticket but he gave me some steps to take without an attorney.

My teenaged son, while intelligent in many aspects of life, made a very bad decision and was arrested along with a couple of friends for drug possession (felony) & alcohol (minor in possession). Doug represented me in another case & delivered very favorable results so I was confident when I approached him with my son’s case. Doug took my son and another boy’s case and represented them as co-defendents. Doug worked with a State Prosecutor in/out of court for a weeks, and in the end their cases were dismissed. The boys were required to attend drug and alcohol classes & complete community service hours. Needless to say, my wife, son & I were more than pleased with the outcome! Doug held our hand and explained to us in detail what to expect in every step of the legal process. In the courtroom he’s a calm and collective & is well respected by his peers. Watching him interact/work in the courtroom ensured us we made the right decision to his firm to represent our then high school aged son.

He took the time to listen to my concerns and provided excellent advice and guidance throughout the entire process. I truly felt like I was in good hands and that he had my best interests at heart. What sets John apart is his specialization in representing clients in federal court throughout the U.S. His extensive knowledge of federal law and his experience in federal court gave me confidence that my case was in the right hands. Not only did John provide exceptional legal services, but he also demonstrated a genuine concern for my well-being and the outcome of my case.

John Lovell has literally saved my life . I was facing a multiple federal drug charge indictment before I met John. John immediately reviewed my case without being given anything and created a plan for me . He not only frequently checked on my case, but he also would communicate just to see how I was doing. I am a college student and he helped me through the most difficult time in my life. Ultimately he was able to get a full dismissal, which is extremely rare in the federal court system. The moment I met John I knew I was in good hands as he never made a guarantee but he he promised to fight for me, which he did. Once again I can’t think him enough. He is someone that you can count on during a stressful time. He is one of the best lawyers in THE WORLD ! I can write a essay on how awesome of a person he is . Just a simple conversation with him will habe you at a peace of mind.

John Lovell , is an outstanding Attorney who deserves the upmost respect and recognition for his hard work ethic. He handles his cases not only on a professional but a personally level. Unlike most attorneys who seek to make a quick dollar and get your case over with, John will carefully examine your discovery and build the best defense possible for you. When we first met I felt as if my life had taken the wrong turn and everything was over. Mr.Lovell gave me encouraging words of faith and advice that will live with me for the rest of my life. He is a man of integrity who will under promise and over deliver. I am forever thankful to have him represent me and would highly recommend you retain him if your looking for a quality and genuine attorney.

Do yourself a favor and work with Rachel. I recently obtained US citizenship, and Rachel has been so helpful all along the way. Besides being a delight to work with, she is brilliant and highly knowledgeable about immigration laws and system. I was impressed to see my citizenship application filed in only two days after sending all the information and files needed for the application. One of the other benefits of working with Rachel is her expertise across different domains besides immigration law, which is very useful in making sure your application is prepared properly and that you receive the best counsel. Another impressive part was how well she prepared me for the citizenship interview. She was extremely detailed with her guidance, and everything she said would be covered was covered exactly in the order she said it would be covered. Of course, you’ll still need to do your part and prepare your documents right for her to submit in your application, study for the Civics test, etc., but working with Rachel gives true peace of mind and top-notch counsel. I was lucky that on the day of my interview, I was able to get sworn in as a citizen in the same building. Rachel walked with me to the swearing-in ceremony and even took a picture with the US flag as I became a citizen. A memory to last a lifetime. I highly recommend Rachel.

Rachel represented us in a criminal case that extended over 5 1/2 years. During this time the prosecution was disinterested in examining the facts or dropping the case that was rife with dubious and conflicting testimony. Rachel took the time to peel the layers back exposing the predisposed rush to judgement. Her skill as a lawyer and empathy as a person allowed us to dismantle the web of accusations and expose them as false. It was an especially trying case for ourselves and Rachel. We never gave up and Rachel provided logical and caring advice throughout the ordeal. There is no way we can thank her enough.

I must say that Jacob has reconciled me with trusting justice, especially in Florida. I wish I had known Jacob when my husband and I were looking for a lawyer in 2013. I had lost trust in the law and justice in 2017 after witnessing a masquerade in Miami. Both my husband and myself have been really deeply affected. I know now, should I need representation, who I'll be calling. The Florida judicial system needs more lawyers like Jacob and his partner Chris Kaigle.

Jacob Stuart represented me in a lengthy state attorney investigation of alleged criminal wrongdoing by elected officials. I have felt extremely fortunate to have an attorney with the skills, knowledge, and professionalism Jacob brought to the table. He was very understanding and supportive throughout the process as he studied evidence, conferred with me, and communicated with the state attorney. He fully supported my decision not to plea to baseless charges, and was well-prepared to go to court when the state finally decided not to pursue the case. Although the situation was stressful, having Jacob on my side was immensely reassuring and encouraging. He made himself available to quickly respond to questions or concerns, and could be easily reached by text or e-mail. His fees were very reasonable for the work he did on my behalf. If I ever need legal help again, I will definitely call on Jacob.

Anjeli is the Real Deal nothing about her is fake. I hired Anjeli after attending a court hearing with my grandson and his public defender and mother. After that i knew i had to do something to help him. I called juvenile court and they were amazingly kind and informative. They highly recommended Anjeli, for her remarkable reputation working with the courts and staff and her passion and compassion for people. She took a young mans prank and fought for a reduction in charges sped up the court calendar to expedite and get closure. Every single thing Anjeli did she communicated to my grandson and myself even taking time out in her hectic day to call in the evening. For me dealing with an attorney is especially stressful almost as bad as court, she made this procedure seemless. My experience was so amazing that when another grandchild found himself in a bit of trouble i was quick to ask for her council and when he found himself at his bottom she was able to push his case ahead. I cannot thank her enough. You will not be disappointed.

What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You

A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.

Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.

When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?

It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:

  • Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
  • Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
  • Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
  • Plea negotiations: If you’re considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
  • Probation or parole violations: If you’ve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
  • Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.

What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?

Criminal defense lawyers provide comprehensive legal services to protect their clients’ rights throughout the criminal justice process. Their duties include:

  • Case evaluation and investigation: Reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and investigating the facts to develop a strong defense strategy.
  • Legal advice: Advising you on your rights, the charges you’re facing, and potential defense strategies, including whether to take a plea deal or go to trial.
  • Negotiating plea bargains: Working with prosecutors to negotiate a plea deal that could reduce charges or minimize penalties.
  • Court representation: Representing you in all court hearings, including bail hearings, pretrial motions, trials, and sentencing hearings.
  • Filing motions: Filing motions to dismiss charges, suppress evidence, or reduce bail, depending on the specifics of your case.
  • Trial preparation and defense: Preparing a defense strategy and presenting arguments, evidence, and witnesses during trial to contest the prosecution's case.
  • Appeals: If you are convicted, a defense lawyer can appeal the conviction or sentence, arguing errors in the trial process or legal rulings.

How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?

Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Payment structures include:

  • Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
  • Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyer’s experience and geographic location.
  • Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.

The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so it’s important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.

How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer depends on several factors, including the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost guidelines are:

  • Misdemeanor cases: For relatively minor offenses, such as a DUI or petty theft, a flat fee may range from $1,500 to $5,000.
  • Felony cases: More serious charges, such as assault or drug trafficking, can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
  • Hourly rates: For cases billed by the hour, lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and the case's location.
  • Additional expenses: You may also be responsible for other costs, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, or the cost of private investigators.

Be sure to clarify the lawyer’s fee structure and any potential additional costs during your consultation.

Top Questions to Ask a Criminal Defense Lawyer

Before hiring a criminal defense lawyer, you’ll want to ensure that they’re a good fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask:

  1. What is your experience with cases like mine?
    Make sure the lawyer has a strong track record with the specific type of criminal charges you’re facing, whether it’s DUI, drug offenses, or violent crimes.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs.
  3. What are the potential outcomes of my case?
    A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of your case and the likelihood of dismissal, a plea bargain, or conviction.
  4. How many cases have you taken to trial?
    While many criminal cases settle with a plea deal, it’s important to hire a lawyer with courtroom experience in case your case goes to trial.
  5. Who will handle my case?
    Ask if the lawyer will be personally involved or if other attorneys in the firm will handle most of the work.
  6. How do you communicate with your clients?
    Be clear on how often and through what channels you can expect updates on your case.

How to Check the Credibility of a Criminal Defense Lawyer

To verify the credibility of a criminal defense lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Check their standing with the state bar: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any past disciplinary actions or complaints.
  • Read online reviews and testimonials: Platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google can provide insights from previous clients about the lawyer’s communication, professionalism, and case outcomes.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should have past clients or other professionals who can speak to their competence and work ethic.
  • Review their case history: Look at the lawyer’s website or professional profile to see their experience with criminal cases, including high-profile or complex cases.
  • Look for trial experience: If your case might go to trial, make sure the lawyer has a strong history of courtroom advocacy and success.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your first consultation with a criminal defense lawyer, bring the following:

  • Details of your case: Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the charges against you, including any documents related to your arrest, police reports, and court dates.
  • Criminal history: If you have any prior criminal convictions, inform your lawyer so they can understand how that may affect your current case.
  • List of witnesses or evidence: If there are any potential witnesses or evidence that may support your defense, share this information during the consultation.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Prepare questions about their experience, legal strategy, and fees to ensure you understand how they will handle your case.
  • Bail or release documents: If you’ve been released on bail, bring any paperwork related to your release conditions or restrictions.

By being well-prepared, you can help your lawyer quickly assess your situation and begin building an effective defense strategy.
