One never expects to suddenly need a lawyer. When we did, we didn't know where to turn. We researched prayed and came across Jerome and thank God we did. He was with us through the entire process, answered questions and allayed our anxiety. That was key, putting things in perspective and providing a sense of normalcy while things went through the covid delayed system. We cannot be more thankful and grateful of the outcome. Thankyou Jerome

Was charged with a felony and a misdemeanor. I lost many rights that I once had prior to the charges. I emphasized the importance of getting all my property back and regaining my rights. He handled it as I asked and got me exactly what I wanted as an outcome. It was a long process but largely due to “Covid” and the courts shutting down. He was on top of every aspect. When I I had questions or concerns he answered back immediately. I would hire him in a second in the event I need to in the future ( I have no intention of needing to). Can’t say enough good things about him. I even got a refund check at the end for remaining funds not used!!! Thank you again Jerome!

I highly appreciate Jerome's expertise and professionalism in helping me get a positive outcome from a case. I could not have done it without his help. It certainly was a trying time dealing with a family issue that resulted in this case occurring. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone in a situation involving a domestic dispute.

Brooke is simply unmatched. She treats her clients like family and will go the extra mile to secure a legal victory. Her legal prowess and understanding of the intricate nature in which the legal system is structured will not only impress you but sweep you off your feet. The moment you consult her you will know without a doubt that no other lawyer will compare. Her representation during my extremely difficult altercation with the judicial system proved to be the deciding factor in whether or not I would spend the rest of my life in jail. Brooke is a one of a kind lawyer with extremely reasonable rates in relation to her level of professionalism and expertise. Don’t waste your time with another attorney because Mrs. Barnett is by far the best in the business.

Our family was referred to Ms. Barnett by a former client of hers. Words cannot alone express the gratitude our family has for Attorney Barnett! Our family faced an emotional, serious and complicated case in New Jersey. From the onset - Attorney Barnett and was very responsive, understanding and professional. Attorney Barnett's keen ability to defend our legal rights, our family and protect our interests was truly an experience to behold. Our family will not ever forget Attorney Barnett. From the bottom of our hearts...Thank you!

I first met Brooke in September 2017, I was alone and scared as my significant other was arrested and incarcerated since June. It was my first Rodeo so to speak. Brooke took the time to sit with me and explain how things work go. Brooke fought for justice and was able to have the case dismissed. Brooke became family she never stopped fighting for us. Brooke and her amazing staff will always be a part of our lives they are truly special people. Highly recommend

I came to know and respect Terri Cromley as an opposing counsel. I had and have respect for the way she knew the law, was highly professional, and advocated tirelessly for her clients. Because of that first hand experience with Terri Cromley, I refer cases to her regularly and have her on speed dial to ask her for advice on matters involving SSDI and workers compensation.

Terri took on a tough case with a life altering, and devastating injury. I am a lawyer who does not practice in this area of law. My Husband hired Terri when he had a work injury (falling off of a ladder while installing OSHA safety equipment of all things) he was off his feet for 12 weeks while the doctor’s reconstructed his leg. These injuries will last a lifetime and mean limping, pain and future surgeries. It looks like an erector set from childhood holding all those bones together. Terri and her firm kept us informed, and advised of his rights. She championed his case even through the covid lockdown and the corresponding slow down in the courts. When it came to the two mediations it took to get this case settled, Terri made sure to cover all the legal bases and tell us his rights. It was a blessing to have her on Rob’s side.

Mr. Mondello handled a matter in his area of expertise, “Crimmigration” and Post-Conviction Relief, and he and his staff were excellent!

Ron was a true expert in being able to "un-do" a multitude of my legal missteps from over 20 years ago! He removed convictions and vacated other pleas that were not in my best interest. Moreover, he was expedient in what he did. Because immigration cases are a time-sensitive. My family and I could not be happier with the representation that Mr. Mondello provided! He was , to coin a phrase, worth every dollar. My immigration matter was serious, non-violent, but serious and he made it all go away.

I hired Adele several months back for a hit and run case( not as bad as it sounds, that was just what the charge was) and she was able to get the charges dismissed. I only regret not posting a review for her when the job was done. But as I now need help from her again, I want to post before I even make the call to ask her to represent me a 2nd time, because she well deserves it and i am very confident she will get me a the best outcome possible a 2nd time around. She was, and am sure will be again, very professional but also very friendly and easy to talk with. She laid out the wors it could be but delivered the best. I would tell your friends, your family, your family's friends and anyone in-between, that if they need legal help, Adele is where it's at. Thank you so much Adele

Top caliber lawyer. I had a home improvement contract I was struggling to get out of after the contractor kept delaying the work and tried to bait and switch me with the materials they were going to use. He was thorough in going through the details of the contract and pragmatic about what my legal options were. Drafted a very well written letter to the contractors requesting a cancellation of the agreement which they promptly obliged to. Saved me a lot of headache. I'd recommend him without hesitation.

I found Mark in Avvo due to his high rate of great answers to people's questions. Then, I had the privilege to set up a time with him to have a consultation him. I found him a very knowledgeable and resourceful person. I would name him a researcher rather than solely an attorney, who knows exactly where to get the legal basis, what to do next, and how to act with clients and the court employees. It has been a great journey working with him and I am very much satisfied with his detail-oriented personality and answering all of my questions.

Recommended by a colleague who had previously worked with him on other cases, Mr. Podboy would deliver beyond our expectations as a family. I could not have asked for better legal representation, at such a desperate hour. First impression at our first meeting would suck my family members & I in, leaving us to confidently conclude, Mr. Podboy had been God sent, an answered prayer. He was highly educated, professional, empathetic, attentive, intelligent, eloquent, knowledgeable, and just a natural at what he did. His analytical mind would right away lead him to conclude and believe that I had been wrongfully accused. He was angry, determined and unrestrained in vigorously coming to my defense and proving my innocence. It was a homicide case and he went to work immediately, with a passion that would leave no stone unturned in the discovery process of the case. His many years of experience working the system was illustrated with his knowledge and display of a wide range of resources, all at his fingertips; in terms of who, where, what, why, when and how. He was confident, well versed with the ins and outs of the law, and just a pro at what he did; and he was going to fight to the last tooth. He relentlessly hammered at the prosecuting team, putting them on the defensive. His brilliance allowed him to take risks in this case which he admitted to be risks, rarely taken in other cases, with the ultimate aim of winning, whatever it took. His principle was “the truth would set me free”, always reminding me that he was paid to worry, and not me. He was brutal in his negotiations, unrestrained, and would not settle for anything that would put a criminal taint on my record. He owned the courtroom, he was poised, & had a presence that commanded respect from his colleagues and all those around. Mr. Podboy is a very reliable professional, always very attentive to detail, very accessible and promptly returns all calls, in which all concerns are addressed, hence making one feel at ease, and reducing a mountain to a valley. It wasn’t just a job for him, he went above and beyond and did his work with so much integrity, that his fellow attorneys held him in high esteem too. He is very personable, and has a very spontaneous sense of humor. There was never a dull moment with him. Even through the tough times we were faced with, he found a way to make light of the situation while comforting and calming. I could sleep well at night knowing that my lawyer had my back. He fought so hard and tackled all the obstacles with class and dignity. He took time to understand me as a person and my big family as well. Looking for a criminal attorney who will fight effortlessly, Mr. Podboy is the guy for the job. On the scale of 1 to 10 I would say 110. He delivered on my case with a dismissal! I thank God for him. I highly and honestly recommend him.

Smart, firm, powerful, quick, and know how to represent his clients. I felt from the beginning when I first came to Ron Podboy for a criminal defense case. The charges that were alleged carried 10 year to life in prison. We knew the truth and never backed down to the pressure of a fight we knew was truth. Presenting the truth isn't always easy but without his hard work and representation I would not be here today to write this review. Not guilty on all charges even when I was being put to hang by the D.A. and the "victim". Take serious consideration when your life is on the line! Ron Podboy is my choice. He was worth every penny!

I came into Nicole's office with not much time. I spoke with a few lawyers in the area and was not liking my options. I had an order of protection coming before the Judge in just a few days. She listened to my whole story. Came up with what I thought was a good plan. Every other person I spoke to wanted to fight against the claim, which I think would have caused more back and forth and more court time. We agreed on a plan of action. I was happy with the outcome. I then needed to retain her services for a divorce. I liked the way she presented my options. Told me when she thought i was making a good or bad decision, and backed me up on what path I wanted to take. I really appreciated her thought process and experience.

I can't thank Karl and his team enough for taking my case, treating it seriously and winning it in court. I was involved in a vehicle accident where, tragically, a person died and I was charged with his death. When we met Karl to discuss the charges, he told me that I hadn't done anything wrong and was surprised that the DA was pursuing a conviction. Karl never waiver'd from this stance. He and his team, collected data, records and crash scene photos and reports, then meticulously studied all of the evidence to put together a winning argument that proved very successful. Karl was extremely knowledgeable of the law and used that knowledge with a confident courtroom presence to dominate the trial proceedings. My family's exact words, "Karl is a BEAST!" They all agree that Karl Numinen was, without a doubt, the right attorney for my case, and he won it convincingly! Very Grateful, Jerry

I had the privilege of working with Attorney Robyn Weiss recently, and I cannot sing her praises enough. Robyn is an outstanding legal professional who exceeded my expectations and demonstrated a level of care and foresight that truly sets her apart from the rest. If you're in need of an attorney who is not only highly skilled but also ethical, approachable, and fair in their pricing, look no further than Robyn Weiss. From our very first consultation, it was evident that Robyn genuinely cares about her clients and their well-being. She took the time to listen attentively to my concerns, patiently addressed all my questions, and made me feel comfortable discussing the intricate details of my legal matter. Her ability to empathize with her clients and offer genuine support during what can be a very stressful time is truly remarkable. Robyn's legal expertise is second to none. Her foresight and attention to detail are unparalleled. She meticulously examined every aspect of my case, leaving no stone unturned. Her proactive approach ensured that we were well-prepared for any potential challenges and instilled in me confidence that my legal matters were in the best hands possible. One of the most refreshing aspects of working with Robyn is her commitment to transparency and fairness in billing. In an industry where some attorneys tend to overcharge or gauge their clients, Robyn's honesty and integrity shine through. She provided me with a clear and detailed breakdown of her fees, and I never felt like I was being charged for unnecessary services or hidden costs. Robyn is committed to delivering exceptional value to her clients, and it shows in her billing practices. Throughout the entire legal process, Robyn demonstrated a rare blend of professionalism, empathy, and legal acumen that left me thoroughly impressed. Her ability to navigate complex legal matters with finesse and grace is truly commendable. In conclusion, if you're in need of a dedicated, knowledgeable, and ethical attorney who genuinely cares about your well-being, Robyn Weiss is the one to call. I couldn't be happier with the exceptional legal representation I received, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of legal services.

After falling victim to an arrest for an OUI, Attorney Nicholas Howie was immediately recommended to me from someone who had successfully worked with him in clearing a past OUI off their own record. Not only was Nick easy to contact, but he was able to be in court for me the very next day. I felt confident after our first interaction based on how knowledgeable Nick was and the level of experience he’s had with cases like mine. He was thorough in explaining the process and transparent with all possible outcomes, so that I could appropriately set my expectations. He was able to communicate clearly and respond to all my questions in a timely manner, whether at our in-person meetings or through a quick phone call/ text message. Not only was he able to settle my concerns, but also guide me through the harder steps, like encouraging me to read the arrest report and watching the body cam footage, so that I wouldn’t be surprised if it was shown in the courtroom. The highlight of my experience was watching Nick slay in the courtroom. He was fully prepared, and refreshed and up to date with the evidence in my case, despite several months passing by. Although I was understandably nervous, I went in feeling confident because of how included I was in my case. I could not have asked for a better, more successful experience.

I am one of the lucky people who has called Mark my friend since 2001. He and I lost touch for a number of years, but I always felt like if I ever got in personal legal trouble, Mark would be the first person I would call. And, he was. Last year Mark swiftly stepped in to defend me against a TRO filed by my (now former) upstairs neighbor to gain advantage against my husband in a longstanding condo dispute. It was a dark period in my life, but Mark was able to resolve the TRO matter and the longstanding condo dispute. Any client that Mark takes on is a lucky client indeed. I also echo many of the clients reviews about Mark being smart, commanding, and overall excellent attorney and strategist.

I have had the privilege of representing two mutual clients with Mark and, in one of those cases, serving as co-counsel. Mark is take charge lawyer in the courtroom who strikes the right balance of advocating as zealously as I have ever seen for a client, while maintaining the proper decorum and respect toward the bench. From a pre-trial perspective, Mark is a creative thinker who develops a strategy and solution that is likely not apparent to most who would assess the situation. I continue to highly recommend Mark to clients who are in need of services in his area.

I met Mark over July 4th weekend in 2017. It's a remarkable journey since. He is a rare combination of intellect, knowledge, quick thinking, energy, passion, and compassion to his clients. He is a REAL trial lawyer. He discussed or emailed his plans along the way. He encouraged my involvement in the filings. As the defendant, one MUST involve in his/her case seriously, and I did. He was aggressive, but he knew when to be humble. This was particularly important in my case, as it took many unique turns. He executed well with an excellent outcome; a dismissal of multiple criminal charges in a federal court. We didn't always agree, but he respected my disagreement(s). I recommend him strongly in all criminal matters.

We hired Danny to help with this and he went way above and beyond and got the case dismissed. He was in contact the whole time and Very reasonable pricing.

I hired Danny December 2020 and he made his strategy very simple and if definitely worked I was charged with driving over 100mph and unsafe passing he moved my court dates twice and today 07/26 it was DISMISSED! I couldn’t believe how easy he was to work with and how affordable he was than any other type of lawyers out there. He is honestly the best! All charges were dropped, no fines, no license suspension, no points. If your planning on finding a great lawyer, don’t look at any other then him trust me.

Danny Peebles exceeded my highest expectations. I don't usually do reviews but I must say a few words about the tremendous job Danny did with my speeding ticket. The results were much better than I ever expected with the entire thing dismissed. I never had to even appear in court, not once. If you need representation there is no one better and his fees are modest. Trust me. I just can't praise the job he did enough.

Never having had any issues with the law previously, I was very concerned about who best to contact regarding my legal issues. Fortunately, someone very close to me knew Justin Goodman and what an outstanding attorney he is. Simply, that was the smartest phone call I've made. Mr Goodman is a tremendous listener, an outstanding communicator who clearly explained all my options and as such demonstrated he is truly a caring person. He also quickly realized just how concerned I was and advised me not to be concerned; rather that was now his job! He was both reassuring and positive in his approach and developed a "Plan of Action" which resulted in the best possible legal outcome for me! Yes, that really was the best phone call I've made and I'm so fortunate to have learned of Justin Goodman! Rich, extremely grateful client

I was trying to close my mother's estate. The lawyer I started with was new to the field and not doing well. I amicably parted-ways with them then switched to Susan. Attorney Kozlowski jumped right on the case. She explained the process well. It proceeded just like she described it. Lisa in her office was always quick to respond to my requests. They were organized and efficient. I needed the legal work to happen quickly and they were able to make it happen. It was a great relief to have Susan and Lisa handling this for me. I especially liked Susan's "tell it like it is" approach. I highly recommend Attorney Kozlowski.

Attorney Yona Gregory was appointed as financial conservator of my step mother. Given the circumstances of my step mothers situation it is my opinion it would be a difficult case for any attorney. Not only did Yona maintain my step mothers best interests at all times she was always very professional, courteous and kind. With that being said I also retained Yona to handle my step mothers estate upon her passing. She continues to have a very dedicated work ethic. If anything arises in the future I would not hesitate to seek her services again.

I am forever grateful for her. Not only that, through out this ordeal she has supported and checked on my well being as a person not just a client.

Steven was dialed in from the first conversation. We had a plan, we executed the plan, and got the results we were looking for. He’s experienced and knows the people “on the other side” which includes their tactics, habits, and traits. Knowledge is power in this game. Would recommend to family and friends alike. He once told me, “my clients are like family, we’re in this together,” and that really hit home. If you’re still looking… stop! You’ve found your man.

The statue of Iustitia at the front office Brandon’s office is not there just for decor. I was in the worst predicament of my life—feeling hopeless, lost, angry, tired, anxious and wishing I never said the words “I do”—when I first laid eyes on this sculpture as I waited for my consult appointment with Brandon. I had to change from a previous attorney due to many issues that complicated my divorce. Doubtful but persistent with my search of a good counsel against my ex-husband’s, I slowly gained confidence after my first meeting with Brandon. That day, Brandon’s team met me with empathy and compassion. His paralegals Ashley and Keith, and associate attorney Brittany, were all superb. All their communication with me were full of care touching on sensitive subjects related to the case which they handled with utmost grace and professionalism. Brandon fought for my case and was an exceptional litigator. Not only is he a remarkable attorney when it comes to litigating a case, he is also an extraordinarily fair human being. I’m beyond grateful for the services of the Law Offices of Brandon Sua and I highly recommend his practice to those seeking real justice.

I was referred to Brandon after leaving my old attorney due to lack of progress and spending lots of money…..with minimal results. Not only that, I was done feeling like I was the “back burner” client. When I went to Brandon, I had about 10 percent visitation with my son, a crappy agreement with my ex-wife (completely favoring the mother) and very little money left to retain another attorney. Brandon and his team took me in, saw my love for my son, gave me an affordable service, and put together a great case. I also felt a huge difference with them as far as client/attorney relationship. They fought hard for me and helped me gain 50% custody of my son. As well as help resolve numerous issues I had with my ex-wife. One of the best days of my life was the day I was granted equal custody of my little boy. It could not have been done without Brandon and his skilled team. They were diligent and compassionate and we were totally successful in and out of the courtroom. My son is almost four years old now and unfortunately court has been necessary in order for him to be in my life. When a mother goes out of her way to prevent the bonding of a father and his son, you need support and you need professionals. I plan to keep the Sua team on my side for many years to come. Not just for my son, but I feel confident that Brandon and the whole crew will be there for me if other things ever come up where I need some solid representation. I know one day my son will be just as thankful as I am for the results we got.

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.
