My ex-wife gave me an extremely contentious divorce through constant harassment, stalking, false allegations, false police reports and defamation. Orlando and his experienced team were able to quickly stop her harassment and also get my divorced filed and finalized in less than 120 days. Their client care and response time to calls/emails is excellent. If you have a contested divorce with assets Orlando is your best advocate in family court.

I just wanted to share that mr Beau Fiegal was the most caring and professional attorney I have ever met! He fought for me soo viciously! Thanks to him I am sole conservator for my children. I have a pending felony something I’m not proud of and on top of that my ex tried accusing me of abuse let me just tell you he got the abuse case dismissed! He was able to prove that he was laying!!! My children are safe and relieved thanks to Mr. Fiegal . I highly recommend him to anyone struggling with their abusive ex.

I hired Orlando at the beginning of a very messy custody dispute. Orlando fought on my behalf from start to finish. I got results far beyond what I initially hoped. Now, I get to raise my kids every day!! He is direct, honest and very quick. He communicates expectations and recommendations clearly. I will contact him right away if the need ever arises!

I had contacted Mr. Muenster when I was not sure whether I would need legal advice or not. He actually spent 45 min walking me though the situation and calming me down (without even charging me for his time!). He was extremely knowledgeable, kind, easy to talk to, and made it easy to understand the situation I was in. If I ever need to hire representation - I will definitely be calling Mr. Muenster!

I called Mark for consultation about a small claims case. He kindly took the time to walk me through the process and how best to effectively deconstruct each argument. Mark was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful when I needed advice. If I ever have need for representation then I would definitely reach out to Mark again for his services. I highly appreciated his kindness and would recommend him to anyone searching for advice in law or representation.

Caring, knowledgeable, dedicated, professional, and skillful. As mentioned by others on this site, it is impressive to watch him in action as he represents you in court. One gets the distinct impression that he has earned the utmost respect from his peers and colleagues in the courtroom from years of distinguished service and an impeccable track record. He’s done his homework, and he presents his arguments in a concise, intelligent, and articulate manner. The fees for his services are very reasonable, but that should be a lesser consideration in your decision to hire him because he gets results. Many years ago, I had a life-altering disposition that resulted in a considerable loss of my freedoms. Over the years, Mr. Muenster has adeptly secured provisions; privileges that most people take for granted that were lost as a result of my disposition. One such privilege was my right to vote. On this occasion, Mark convinced me that I could accomplish this “Pro se.” He was very gracious in making time for me on two separate occasions to answer my questions, and did so “pro bono.” With his invaluable expertise, I was granted a Certificate of Discharge by the judge. Since then, I have presented Mr. Muenster with increasingly more difficult challenges with respect to what I was requesting from the court and he has masterfully delivered on every one of them. I apologize to any readers or prospective clients who may be annoyed with my lack of specificity regarding the aforementioned “privileges and provisions” (by excluding details of my legal petitions as a matter of privacy), but trust me when I say that I have spoken with, and have been represented by, my share of attorneys from the beginning, until meeting Mark Muenster. Ever since the first time he represented me, I will not consider hiring a different attorney. I regret that fate had not delivered me to his doorstep sooner; I strongly believe my felony disposition would have been much different, or not at all.. But, I am thankful to have him in my corner going forward. He truly is in a class by himself.

Mark had an assault case dismissed, we never even had to go in front of a judge. I'm not very familiar with the process, but I feel that Mark used some unconventional methods that worked very well in this case. He is on time and easy to work with, no legal speak you won't understand.

Tho there was differences between myself and Mr Ambrosino I believe he was doing what was best for me I still give him 5 stars because I know he worked hard on the case and was extremely confident on his defense of me. Plus his prices are fair and after my case was dismissed he said he'll give me a good price on expungement which I'll be back to work with him. I highly recommend Roberto Ambrosino!

I hired Ms. Townsend for a child custody case. In the beginning I was going to court without a lawyer, just me and my Mom. It felt like no one was listening to me and thought I would lose my son. My Mom was able to find a lawyer for me that didn't ask for $1000 of dollars before talking to me. She listened to me and I knew I hired the right lawyer. She stuck with me to the end making going to court so much easier. I could always talk to her. I won the custody case because of Josephine Townsend. Ms. Townsend is dedicated to her clients. She kicks injustice in the butt.

Josie was the best, definitely made the right choice to hire her for my mom!!!! We were highly recommended to do a consultation with her by another lawyer and it was the best decision made. We talked to plenty of other lawyers and seemed like they didn’t want to help and just take our money but when we went to see Josie she actually took the time to listen to what we had to say and was very patience with us. Josie was very straight forward and was very honest. Josie was actually wanting to help us and told us exactly what it was and what we could expect out of our case. She responds quickly to emails and text messages and even when she was in court she would let me know she would get back to me as soon as she was done so it made everything easier. Our case wasn’t the easiest but Josie definitely “won” and the outcome was great. I would highly recommend Josie she is the absolute best and she cares which makes a huge difference in her clients. If you or anyone is looking for an awesome lawyer Josie is the go to lady very knowledgeable and a very smart women!!!!!!

Joseph Esparza saved my 18-year military career, but more importantly the dream of reuniting with my children! I am an officer in the USAF and hired Mr. Esparza as my Lead Defense Attorney when charged with serious crimes resulting from false accusations from my former spouse during a highly contentious divorce. I went to a General Courts Martial. Overall result: Full Acquittal!! If you are reading this, you too may be living this nightmare….there is light at the end of this tunnel, and Joseph Esparza will lead you there. I chose the word “lead” deliberately, versus “guide”, “get”, “show” etc. From the moment Mr. Esparza took my case, he took the role as if the Captain of a ship. He was empathetic to all my concerns, yet had the leadership to direct me when choices got tough. Perpetually confident from his decades of experience , he could “read the waves” and knew precisely which direction to go before anything became an issue. He also led the military counterpart to my defense team (who was exceptional). When I first met with Mr. Esparza, I said “I think you are the right guy for the job”, and his response was, “Oh, absolutely I am the right guy”. Not in a conceited way, but a humbly confident way. Joseph answers emails, texts, and phone calls promptly. He never gave me the impression he was too busy to hear my concerns. Even with my family, who were not technically his “clients” he promptly answered. Joseph was by my side through an investigation, preferral of charges, an Article 32 Hearing, referral of charges, and a General Courts Martial. Overall time, about 9 months. Steadfast the entire time. If you are seeking the absolute best legal counsel, whether military or civilian, LOOK NO FURTHER! Mr. Esparza is worth every dime….a drop in the bucket vs. what you stand to lose. I am willing to speak with you personally if Mr. Esparza desires to give you my contact information. I’d take any opportunity to brag about his expertise more.

I hired Joseph Esparza in 2020 to represent me in a General Court Martial. My maximum sentence was life plus 28. I was falsely accused of some of the most heinous acts a human being can do to another. Joe helped give me my life back. For over two years he worked with a defense team to clear my name. At all times he was professional, kind, respectful and unlike most attorneys, responsive in a timely manner. Joe helped walk me through some of the most difficult times in my life and I will forever be grateful. I was found innocent of all charges. Joe, you’re an amazing attorney and an even more amazing man. Thank you.

Mr. Magana was court appointed for my nephew. When people found out who we had as an attorney they begin to tell me how bad he was, how all he wanted was money and didn’t do anything for their case. Needless to say I was skeptical going in… although a very busy man Mr. Magana was passionate, caring and did what he said he was going to do! He may text you and say 32 min or when he walks by you he may give you a one min sign, his voice mail may be full or he may not return your call as soon as you want, but if Michael says imma get him out you better believe he’s a man of his word! We had the honor of watching Michael work at the court, he ran from one end to the other while on the phone with a client and being stopped by clients asking when are you getting to me. After that long day in court he would then go to his office after 5pm and see upwards to 20 people. Mr. Magana told us guys I’m going to get him out and after only two weeks he did Dec. 22, 2021 a Christmas miracle. My advice is not to listen to others, form your own opinion because ever case is different. But if Michael Magana says he’s going to do it I assure you that he will. How many attorneys will give you their personal cell phone number and let you blow their phone up and text them 24/7 and when you see them greet you with compassion and a smile. If I hadn’t t been a part of my nephews case I would have never gotten to meet a really good man, on behalf of my nephew, my family and myself… Thank you Mr. Magana with all our hearts.

After our consultation, we knew this was the place for us and hired him on the spot. Mr. Gonzales is professional, personable, knowledgeable, honest, caring and helpful. He gave us his contact number and made himself available 24/7. Any time I contacted him, I always received a return call or message without delay. If he was not available for any reason, we would still receive a return call or message from attorney Christian Henricksen. These two attorneys are a true DREAM TEAM. He exceeded our expectations.

I was referred to Mr. Joe Gonzales by a law enforcement colleague who had dealt with him several times while working cases at the DA’s office. I was given Mr. Gonzales’s cell number and calling him was the best decision I had ever made. My initial meeting and impression of Mr. Gonzales was that he was a professional and he listened attentively while I explained what had occurred that led up to my arrest and charge. He understood that I could not accept anything but a dismissal or an acquittal or I would lose my career and future goals. He advised me that he would be working with a team that included Mr. Christian Henrickson and that I would be getting two lawyers for the price of one. I struggled emotionally through a year and a half of court dates until the case went to trial. Despite all my fears, Mr. Gonzales and his team reassured me and I knew they believed in my innocence. When Mr. Gonzales goes into “trial mode” it’s amazing. His cross examinations of the prosecution’s witnesses and complainant were direct and strategically effective. The trial was very stressful for me and as we were waiting for the jury to return with their verdict after deliberation I will never forget how terrified I was and how Mr. Gonzales calmingly placed his hand on mine and smiled and said, “Do not lose your faith now.” He was confident until the very end and even when I had feared the worst he believed in my case. The jury came back very quickly with a unanimous decision and acquitted me of the charge. I will never forget what I went through to fight for the truth and I will never forget how hard Mr. Gonzales and his team fought for me. They were amazing and I felt so blessed to have them fighting in my corner. Joe, from the bottom of my heart I want thank you and will never forget what you did. I would recommend Joe Gonzales to anyone who needs a lawyer because I truly believe and know from experience that he and his team are the best lawyers a person can have. His integrity, experience, and knowledge are assets for anyone who needs a professional lawyer to fight for their case. I would highly recommend him!

I was driving up IH35 and saw a billboard with Joe Gonzales picture and phone number. I decided at this time I would like to schedule a meeting with him to discuss my case. My first meeting with Joe was professional and honest, he allowed me to discuss my side of the story without judgement. He listened attentively and made sure I understood the pros and cons to include the direction we should take to ensure I received deferred adjudication. Each time I was given a court date he was present and ready to go. Joe Gonzales met with the DA's office and negotiated the best deal for me. During the whole process I trusted Joe and he had my best interest at heart. Joe keeps you informed and he cares more about the client and the outcome. I appreciate all that Joe did for me and my family, he is one of the best attorney's in San Antonio. Thank you Joe for everything......your more than an attorney your a friend!

They all are extremely passionate about their job and service they bring to their clients and courtroom. My divorce which should have been so easy turned into such a nightmare. With Jeff, Jennifer and Connie I was able to make it through. They made themselves available despite a busy schedule. I would definitely recommend Meadows Law Firm for any legal issues or concerns. If one doesn’t know they will quickly find out or refer.

I got pulled over for a traffic violation and I literally didn’t do anything. I knew that I was being served for a quota by the highway patrol. He pulled me over illegally and then acted like he was doing me a favor by giving me a seat belt violation (I was wearing my seatbelt by the way…just had the shoulder strap below my breast because of an upcoming breast surgery). The officer never even told me about the 3 warnings he put down on my ticket (his reasoning for pulling me over was me touching the white safety line in the slow lane “supposedly”). I already know some of you are reading this like “it is a non-moving violation and I would have just paid it.” I heard that from attorneys actually whom I tried to hire. To me, it was the principal of the matter. I knew that I did nothing wrong and my insurance company would not guarantee they wouldn’t ding me for it. Plus, I was wearing my seat belt!! The crazy part is other attorneys were nonchalant saying they would charge $500 and there weren’t any guarantees. If an attorney is not confident run! Jeff Meadows was confident, even knew the highway patrol officer by name, and frequently goes into Hamilton’s courts! He requested the video and audio footage from the State Highway Patrol. When I was supposed to go to trial, Jeff called me stating not to bother, the case was dismissed!!! They didn’t even provide the footage requested and Jeff handled it like a pro!! I suspect that the footage incriminated the officer and with a competent and confident attorney like Jeff representing you, you are in the best position to win!! I can’t say enough good things about Jeff and his office staff! They call to remind you of court hearings and answer any questions too! Don’t hesitate to give Jeff and his firm a shot to win your case and represent you in the right way! Too many other attorneys want to get paid without caring if they win or not.

I met attorney David Lash three years ago, while he was assisting another client in a foreclosure case. A year later, as an inexperience real estate investor, I got myself into a very complicated situation by purchasing a foreclosed property that had a mortgage lien on it. David Lash was the attorney I called for help. On our first meeting, Mr. Lash explained the process and his plans to guide me through this complicated foreclosure system. With his knowledge and experience in the field, I received the best result I could have hoped for. I recommend attorney David Lash with any real estate foreclosure case.

Attorney Munyer is very skilled and highly respected by many in Summit County. Munyer works extremely hard on all of his cases and argues for the best possible outcome of accused clients. He is tentative to detail and knows exactly what to do when receiving evidence from the state. I would highly recommend Noah Munyer for anyone in need of the best legal representation to argue and/or mediate a criminal case.

Noah Munyer is a legal wizard with magical powers. If you are lucky enough to have Noah lay his golden hands on your case, you're going to get the best possible outcome. Whether you've just been arrested, or you're disappointed with how your lawyer has been handling your case, you owe it to yourself to talk to Noah before signing anything or making any statements. Noah gets things done. He stays on top of his business, and will keep you informed and updated about your case and your options. He doesn't just file papers and sit back and wait for things to happen -- he MAKES things happen, and that's the difference between an average lawyer and an amazing lawyer. The best advice I can give anyone with legal problems in Ohio is: Talk to Noah. Pay Noah. Do what Noah tells you to do.

I had the privilege of getting Noah as a public defender back in 2014 I knew from the first time we talked that I had found my future attorney if need be and yes I ended up hiring him in 2021. I’m almost 43 and my younger adult years i racked up a ridiculous criminal history which by no means am I proud of at all I have a attempted murder, felonious assaults, participating in a criminal gang. So what I’m trying to get at is with a record like mine it’s pretty safe to say that if I catch any cases that the state of Ohio for the most part has a cell with my name on it. With a “big dogg” attorney like Noah on your side I never once felt as if I was going to prison he was always upfront and honest even if he may of thought it was something I may not of wanted to hear. For an attorney to get me to trust them it’s a pretty heavy task to achieve due to prior railroads and lies from other attorneys, but Noah was a natural it was mostly because I could feel that he was genuine

Mark was recommended to me by another defense attorney that was unable to handle my case. He said he trusted him and I'm so grateful for this recommendation. Mark has experience on both sides of the court, defense and prosecution. He actually worked under my judge which was tremendously lucky. Mark was always on time, responded to questions promptly, and explained all aspects of the case throughly and clearly. He was able to get my OVI charge reduced to reckless op, full driving privileges without an interlock, no jail time, and significantly less probation time than I was expecting. All in all, highly recommend. Thanks again, Mark!

I got an OVI in Oct. 2016 and did not realize that when my OVI was settled, the driving privileges I had until that point had to be re-approved (in other words, my driving privileges were revoked after the OVI was settled until the judge approved new driving privileges.) I accidentally backed into another car while my driving privileges were revoked, so I was charged with Driving under OVI Suspension, Improper Backing, and Leaving the Scene. Mark got the prosecutor to drop everything except Leaving the Scene, which means that I had no additional penalties except court costs. He was incredibly responsive, responding to my many questions within a couple hours, and very honest about the charges and penalties that I was facing. Also, he's not too hard to look at. ;) I highly recommend him to anyone facing a scary situation.

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.
