One versital attorney... Personable and friendly to clients... But, a rockstar warrior in the arena! I was recommended, by an attorney, who said, he's the only person she'd use. You know he's awesome, when, other lawyers consider him a top pick! I'm a returning client and have recommended him to many friends. All who have were very pleased with their results and now recommend him to others. Opposing party will either, grimace or shutter, when you walk through the door with Mr. Leavitt.

Troy and his team are outstanding! He did everything he could for me and I are extremely pleased with the outcome. He was compassionate during my worries and always answered any questions we had. He’s very affordable, hard working and worth every penny. Truly there for his clients. I have used him for custody over my son and to get a ticket off my record. My fiance has used him for 2 major custody battles and a few other things and has done a great job along with his whole team. Everyone is welcoming and truly cares. Cant thank them all enough!!

I did quite a bit of research and spoke with many attorneys, once I spoke with Lance I knew I found the right one. He helped me with my 2nd DUI among other charges. I obviously had anxiety due to the fact that I would most likely serve jail time. Lance took the time to text and call me throughout the process and definitely helped with my anxiety. He was more personable than I expected, which was really nice. He was able to keep me out of jail and helped me throughly. I honestly feel that I couldn't have found a better man for the Job, very perfessional and personable. I would and will recommend Lance Daniel to anyone seeking an attorney.

Excellent at his job ! I'm so glad I got to know Mr. Daniel, he is very comforting and helpful through stressful times. All I had to do is take breath, relax, do as he said, and Mr. Daniel took care of me. He does his best everyday until the case is settled. Very confident and also has a positive attitude to make the person feel like everything is going to be fine. Once again he's the best in Sacramento and would highly recommend.

I was referred to Lance after being arrested for a DUI. I wasn't sure what to expect, as this was my first (and hopefully last) criminal offense. We spoke for about 20 minutes over the phone and he explained all of my options clearly and concisely. Lance put my anxiety at ease and I instantly knew to hire him as my attorney. I provided some necessary paperwork on my end and he handled just about everything from there. Lance recommended to test/re-test the alcohol level in my blood from the night of my arrest. He kept me posted every step of the way: where the results come from, what the results were, what our next course of action was, etc. The results came in and turns out my blood alcohol was lower (0.07%) than what was recorded in the breathalyzer. With this, Lance was able to reduce the DUI down to a wet reckless! Also, it is important to note that Lance appeared in court for me each time. Aside from the final court date, I didn't have to worry about taking time off from work.. He kept me informed of each court date. On the final court date, Lance and I met, but again I didn't have to step into the courtroom. We were able to talk about the results and tie up any loose ends (how/when I could get my license back, how this affects insurance, etc). If you're convicted of a DUI/DWI, contact Lance immediately. You will not be disappointed!

Jack Denton is among the most honorable and hardworking people I have met. I began helping my father with his divorce case in late 2021, and at the time, was frustrated by a different attorney’s lack of attention and focus on my dad’s case. I am my father’s power-of-attorney but live in Texas while dad still lives in Mississippi. My father has dealt with some cognitive decline in recent years and has a hard time keeping track of key details, so I knew I’d have to replace dad’s previous lawyer with one I could fully trust. I wanted to find a lawyer who didn’t know my family for various reasons, so I found Jack on Google and was immediately impressed with the large number of high ratings and positive reviews. I found one negative review but the context and complaint seemed laughable to me, and I was even more convinced at how outlandish that complaint was after I began interacting with Jack, myself. I called his office one day, and Jack spoke with me on the phone, at length, and gave me good (free) advice on how to try one last time with dad’s current lawyer at the time. He was complimentary of that other lawyer and gave me some context about the situation. He said he would be available if I chose to go a different route or things didn’t work out with that lawyer. Read that again: despite my explicit frustration with the previous lawyer, Jack didn’t swoop in to make a buck—he gave me sound advice on the next steps before I made a move to retaining him as dad’s lawyer. Long story short, I did, and Jack helped us navigate a final effort at negotiating with the other party in the divorce, helped us file necessary pleadings to push the process along, and gave all of us good and clear updates along the way, adapting to our unique needs because of my location and my dad’s memory difficulties. He helped shepherd us through some of the toughest months of my dad’s life, and sure enough, his advice and judgment was sound, time and again. He nudged us in the right direction at times, and advised against certain things at other times, and generally helped us keep the peace with the other party in the divorce. I can’t think of a better experience from a divorce attorney. He charged us far, far too little for the quality of service he provided, and that’s the truth. Jack Denton is a good lawyer and an even better person, and I highly recommend him. I hear he does property title work, too. I just wish I had a house to buy in Mississippi to send more business his way. There are several good lawyers in south Mississippi, but Jack Denton has earned my full trust.

I am not from Mississippi and was very afraid about having a legal issue here as I had no connections or support. I found Mr. Jack Denton as a referral from a friend of a friend. I have never worked with a lawyer previous to this experience. I originally contacted his office on a weekend, and his receptionist answered. She was incredibly kind and supportive and was able to schedule a consultation appointment within 24 hours. I met with Mr. Denton for that consultation and entered the room just terrified and overwhelmed by my current situation. He calmly and confidently explained how he would approach my situation and was incredibly supportive. He reassured me that this was easily something that we could handle. I immediately retained his services without hesitation. I left feeling relieved and calm. We worked together for several months, during which time there were many ups and downs in the preparation for my case. This was out of both of our control and I was emotional at every turn. Mr. Denton always responded quickly to my questions with patience and support. He took care of everything immediately and responded with reasonable solutions that made the entire situation much more approachable and achievable. I feel that I should have paid much more for all of the work he put into my case and for how much advice he offered. I cannot put a value on the reassurance and security he provided. Our case ended with the best possible outcome that I could have imagined. Having someone in my corner who not only knows the legal system in Mississippi but also has the experience and connections to gain better insight into my case and the realistic outcomes that I could expect made me feel confident. I was very impressed by this process and ecstatic with the outcome. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Denton to anyone in need of legal services. He is kind, honest, patient, exceptionally capable, and well connected within the legal community. Thank you so so much, Mr. Denton!

My family, like so many, battled with a drug addicted child. The addiction led to criminal behavior. We never stopped fighting for our son for the 11 years of hardcore heroin addiction. Multiple times he was incarcerated for both petty and serious crimes. We hired Philip Brown to help on multiple cases over a period of 5 years. In each instance he prevailed in our son's favor. These victories gave our son an opportunity to be rehabilitated rather than just incarcerated. Today our son is healthy and clean for almost two years. Working a steady job and preparing to get married to a lovely young lady. Never give up hope! Thank you, Phil, for the part you played in his rehabilitation. I can't recommend Phil Brown enough.

I only interacted with Kim briefly, but the questions I had surrounding a hit and run case were greatly appreciated. She didn't respond with any outlandish theatrics, and she presented what she through would be the next steps in my case during the consultation. She helped me make the right decision without the need for representation on a low level case. I will not hesitate to hire her if needed in the future.

Kimberly handled my traffic violation case. She was very knowledgeable, capable and responsible and handled my case with the utmost professionalism. My case was dismissed - the best result that can be sought after. The whole process has been quite painless for me. I would definitely work with Kimberly again and would recommend her to anyone needing her advice/help.

Hired Kimberly to represent me, and she helped walk me through all the proactive things I could do to help. She walked me through what to expect, and promptly answered any questions that I had. Ultimately she was able to quickly get my case dismissed and my record sealed. The whole process can be stressfull but Kimberly did a great job at easing that stress by explaining what I should expect every step of the way.

“Exceeds expectations” does not even begin to capture the stellar work that Mr. Aiken has done for my family! With utmost compassion, expertise, and professionalism, Mr. Aiken provided exceptional legal advice and courtroom representation, managing to simultaneously prepare us for multiple possible outcomes while keeping us cautiously optimistic–he then delivered the best realistic outcome possible under the circumstances. Mr. Aiken was the second attorney whom we saw for consultation before choosing an attorney. The first attorney dismissed most of the background and context information as “irrelevant” and went right to the top two worst-case scenarios. That other attorney was also hard to get a hold of and always seemed rushed and mildly annoyed to be granting us any of his time. What a complete contrast with Mr. Aiken! From Day One, Mr. Aiken went above and beyond–he recognized behavioral and communications signs of autism in our initial meeting, informed us of the relevant case law, made connections for us for the necessary assessments, and built a solid case that included relevant contextual information dismissed by the other attorney. Mr. Aiken communicated regularly and in a timely manner, was quite patient with all of our questions, and explained things in a clear and non-jargony manner, Because of his excellent representation, his client will have a second chance and the opportunity to rebuild his life! Mr. Aiken has my highest recommendation, and my lifelong gratitude!!!!

I was wrongfully arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, now mind you, I'm an older gentleman who has some physical disabilities and I've never in all my years had a run in with law enforcement whatsoever, and I had no idea how to get out of this mess. A friend of mine who works for another attorney recommended Kim to me, I called her, got an appointment same day, explained my situation and after hearing what she had to say about it, I knew that I had the right person for the job. She went to work immediately and got the entire thing dropped, got me my CCW permit back, and gave me my life back. She put my wife and I at ease that this was a non-starter and told us to just go on with our lives and let her handle everything, which she did, so thank you Kim, and if you ever find yourself in need of representation, I highly recommend Kim Sease.

Kim was able to take a task that several other attorneys before her were not able to do. It did take some time due to the complexity of the issues, but she was patient with me, and helped me take care of each hurdle as it came up. Kim responded to my inquiries and guided me as needed. I would highly recommend hiring Counselor Seace for all of your legal needs. Absolutely thrilled with the outcome of her work.

Kim represented me back in 2010 in a traffic homicide case. She was very thorough, honest, fought hard for me & most of all, believed me. I didn’t want a lawyer that didn’t believe me. Kim knew exactly what she was doing being that she was a prosecutor previously & knew exactly how to defend me with all facts. I never want to have to hire Kim again, but if I had to, it would be her again.

Andrea Sugar is the best lawyer I saw ever, professional, responsible, reply quickly and very cooperative and compassionate. I had a divorce case with her. It was done so fast less than 6 months. She was very professional and experienced in the court. It was so easy and fast case. And my financial experience with her was perfect. I was so worried about this part. At the end of my case, I could not believe how my case was that fast, successful and it did not cost me that much money. It was a very perfect experience with her.

Extremely professional and compassionate! If she says is going to do something, she is doing it NOW! Andrea Sugar handled an out of state custody/visitation for us and we were over 700 miles away so if not for google sights such as this one, we would not have found her and went with her on solely the reviews. I feel we hit the jackpot finding her and getting the exact outcome we had hoped so much for!

Our son was arrested by the Atlanta PD one evening in August 2019. I got a call at home at 1 am from the University Dean telling me he was in the Fulton County jail and had been charged with a felony. My son's entire future, reputation and education was at stake and we had no details of the events that led up to his arrest. After searching online for the best defense attorney I could find, I contacted Mr Weintraub at 7 am the following morning and he immediately went into action. He was able to get my son released the following day on a signature bond so that he would not miss any more classes. Over the next several weeks, Mr Weintraub and his fantastic private investigator gathered exculpatory evidence, interviewed witnesses and expertly navigated the case through the court system. Before the end of the year he was able to have the case entirely dismissed. I have no hesitation in recommending Howard Weintraub as a criminal defense attorney and cannot imagine what might have happened to our son if I had not made the call.

He was very calm while listening to our story and the challenges we were having with the school. Mr. Hahn took our case, worked persistently, and maintained consistent communication with us. He was persistent, attentive, and very organized. His demeanor and determination helped us to get what we wanted. We are grateful to have hired him and we believe he is one of the best attorneys out there.

Peter worked with us over the course of several years as we sought desperately needed out of district placement for our two sons. Peter is extremely knowledgeable and deeply experienced. He has a wonderful sense of justice for kids and knows how to get the results children deserve. Peter is a wonderfully effective minimalist. He never clocked in unnecessary hours and always considered his own fees as part of the decision making process at each step. He was open to our contributions as time and cost saving measures. He was able to guide us through complex education law with clear explanations. Because he was always the clear thinking in the room, he was also able to point out where and when the school system was trying to pressure, manipulate, and gaslight us and our children. Not only did he help us place our kids at the schools that ensured their successful transition to college, he also gifted them a sense of justice. School systems can really beat down a kid's sense of confidence. By "winning," Peter helped restore our kids' knowledge that they deserve an appropriate education (like everyone else) and, when they get it, they can thrive. We are forever grateful for Peter's wisdom, legal talents, and his righteous drive to make schools do right by children.

I got charged with a switched car tag and paraphernalia possession, and I'd heard so many great things about Kevin Frye that I knew almost instinctually that he'd be the lawyer for me. In my years at Ole Miss, I'd heard Kevin speak on numerous occasions at Greek events and chapters giving advice or answering any questions students had about DUIs or other charges and reminding them of their rights just in case push came to shove. This always stuck with me and really made me realize that he truly cared about the wellbeing of those in the room. Flashing forward two years, and in the midst of my fear regarding the charge, I immediately met with and hired Kevin. In all of our meetings, our thorough conversations about my case gave me more confidence as time went on. I knew I was in the best hands around, and I knew that I need not worry about my case being pursued full force. He was full of honesty and extremely realistic. He truly had me prepared for the best and worst, but through his and Brooke's (his partner) strong logic and eye for detail in the case, it was dismissed on my court date. I could not be happier about sharing this news and information for those who will reach a time of need for a reliable and strong lawyer. Kevin is your guy, without question or hesitation.

Mr. Stewart's hard work, dedication, commitment, honesty, and perseverance throughout my whole legal process was second to none. He stood beside me and guided me through this challenging time of my life. I told him the outcome I wanted in my case and he delivered it 100%. Kevin handled everything with professionalism, but even more importantly took a personal interest in the best outcome possible for my case. Throughout the process I felt like he was not only my legal counsel but also a friend who wanted and fought for what was best for me. I will forever be grateful to him for the job he did. I highly recommend Kevin for anyone who needs legal representation or counsel and will continue to put my trust in him shall any more legal needs arise. Again, he delivered on the best outcome in my case, which is exactly what I told him in my initial consultation.

Let me start by saying Kevin Stewart did me an my ex-wife's family a favor by handling our divorce. He is not a divorce attorney by trade but agreed to help me file and do what I needed to as I had no clue. He was very nice and respectable and did everything he could to help me get through a thing such as tragic as divorce. Even though it didn't turn out to be quite so amicable as I had hoped he took care of everything and even helped me to keep my emotions in check so that I didn't do anything to hastily. Mind you a vindictive ex and ex-father in-law can really put a hurting on your emotions. But he kept me focused and us on task. All in all I would love to meet this guy at a barbeque, but I would hate to meet him on the opposite side of me in the court room. Glad he was in my corner. Thanks Kevin

I was referred to Tim by my divorce attorney to represent me on a separate legal matter. He reviewed the case and developed a strategy that resulted in two felony charges being dropped and a third reduced to a misdemeanor, through a differed disposition. He and his team were approachable, efficient, knowledgeable, and on top of the case all the way through. Even with priors on my record, his efforts allowed for to best possible outcome in the case.

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.
