It is with great pleasure and admiration, that I highly recommend Ms. Dawn Alba attorney-at-law for her exceptional work in handling my case/legal matters. What should have been a minor grievance quickly escalated into what might’ve been a disaster. After feeling overwhelmed, I immediately contacted Ms. Alba’s law office where she personally answered my call. She patiently listened to my case and without hesitation, examined the facts, then diligently went to work. By the end of that day, she was able to masterfully prepare an exceptional plan/strategy that would ultimately lead to my victory. Her confidence/expertise in her field was a pleasure to witness. I am forever grateful for her unwavering ability to work tirelessly on my behalf …. making sure I was always treated with dignity and finally in the end made to feel whole. I now believe that there are “Forever Angels” sent down from above…. to represent the voiceless!!

Charles Arline's law firm gave me swift, first class treatment every step of the way, from the first call to getting the result desired in the case. Charles clearly knows the law and has the experience to back it up. I can’t imagine going through this situation without Charles Arline’s law firm. I felt guided and understood at each turn in the case. This is the second time I’ve relied on Charles to fight for me. I’m impressed by his results each time. He makes the impossible, possible…with ease. He’s honest, has has my trust, and over delivers in service. I have no hesitation recommending Charles Arline. I’ve made sure all family, and friends have his number programmed.

Words cannot express the gratitude, the heartfelt obligation she provided for me during my fight for justice. She is the best. I was wrongly accused of a violation of the law that I did not commit. I was extremely emotional, I dealt with anxiety and panic attacks. She did not judge me, she comforted although I was having emotional breakdowns. I was able to rely on her judgements, her sincerity and her efforts to fight. She reassured me my fight was her fight, and even helped me breathe though when I felt like I was an emotional wreck. What matters the most in the event when I lost one of my twin baby’s to death she made sure she made appearances and decision that benefited me. I love her whole team because of the whole team put an effort to fight we had case law that was unstoppable and won our writ of mandamus. I am forever grateful and would recommend them to anyone that experience the injustice that I had. Thank u so much u saved my livelihood.

I have no words for how amazing Stephanie is! If you are looking for someone who will get the job done, Stephanie is who you want on your team. Stephanie advocated for our family and our children. She listened to us, and I mean really listened to us. We ended up with the best case scenario in our court case after years of work and documentation. Stephanie looked at EVERY piece of evidence after coming into our court case after we were already five years in, and she knew our case like she was living it with us. Stephanie is empathetic, always professional, punctual, and knowledgeable. Like many court cases there was a lot of tension between parties and she managed it all so well and professionally. 10/10 recommend! If you are newly looking for legal services, are getting nowhere with your current case, or just feel lost, Stephanie is who you need!

I cannot say enough about how pleased I am with Pandora Palmer and her amazing team of professionals! My divorce was a long, drawn out, grueling two year process. When I first met with Pandora, she immediately showed compassion for me and my situation. She and her paralegal, Tiffany, got right on my case, being thorough in researching all aspects of it. Pandora presented me with the facts of what I was facing and gave it to me straight--no sugar coating. She was honest...but with compassion. My case was handled with the utmost importance and professionalism. Phone calls, faxes, and emails were promptly returned. Meetings and correspondence was very detailed. My ex-husband had the worst attitude and behavior throughout the entire process and his attorney/team was less than professional. However, Pandora and Tiffany were firm--countered swiftly, and remained poised and professional at all times. They showed genuine care and concern for me and my minor child, and even showed the same level of care and concern for my oldest child, who is a young adult and was not being represented in the divorce for that reason. My divorce has been final for a few months now. My ex-husband and I had to be back in court just recently to address attorney's fees---Pandora got great results on that too! Should you ever be in need of an awesome attorney, who will fight for you and follow through with great results, I highly recommend Pandora Palmer and her team of professionals as your attorney...you won't regret it!

I could not be more grateful for her and Joseph . She so such a great lawyer that even during my trial other lawyers would come in to watch her work and learn from the best . She is the best at what she does . Always calls me , emails, or texts me when I have any questions . She was a former judge , prosecutor, and now lawyer what else could you ask for in a lawyer besides someone who has seen and done it all especially when you’re life is on the line . I would recommend her to anyone she really is a fighter and will be there for you . A prime example of what you should expect when you hire a lawyer.

Mr. Anthony was my second court-appointed lawyer for my case. I wasn't quite vibing with my first lawyer and he wasn't explaining to me my charge. The charge was for forgery. I didn't understand why I would have got a charged for forgery, Because I sold a vehicle that belonged to me to a dealership. When I obtained Mr. Washington, he explained to me thoroughly what my charge was and said he'll do everything in his power to help me. After several Court appearances, Mr. Washington ended up getting my case Completely dismissed. Now we will work on getting the charge taken off of my record. It is unfortunate that a bogus charge can be placed on you. And it still Goes on your background check even though it was dismissed, but Mr. Washington is gonna help me remove that.

Richard was always available to his client, responded promptly to all of his client's telephone calls and answered all of his client's questions.

Hired Ben for a misdemeanor reckless driving charge, with the possibility of jail time. During consultation, Ben was very methodical in laying out what I needed to do to prep for court. In court, Ben negotiated the terms of my penalty with the prosecutor and the officer. He pulled me out of the courtroom and explained to me the options on the table and made a recommendation. The terms Ben negotiated on my behalf were the best I could hope for. Just a fine. No license suspension. No active jail time. The terms were so favorable that the first judge would not sign off on the terms. The second judge did, but both were furious with the prosecutor for agreeing to the terms. That is a testament to Ben's negotiating prowess and I could not be happier with the results.

Sarah Perez was referred to me from a friend and I couldn't be more grateful that happened. Sarah consulted with me on my issue and was incredibly knowledge, professional and overall helpful. I moved forward with hiring her and the process since has been nothing short of positive for being a pretty negative situation. Sarah put me at ease the entire process, communicating with me along every step of the way about what to expect and handling all the minor details down to even sending calendars reminders to my personal email about all hearings with all necessary links/attachments included. She was very professional throughout the process and was very well prepared for each time we went before the court. She did so much on the backend ensuring I knew exactly what to complete and that documents made their way to the appropriate parties, while negotiating on my behalf for the best possible outcome. I was at ease the whole process (which was a very stressful time in my life) based on Sarah's actions and I truly believe that's because of her expertise and professionalism demonstrated, not just because I hired representation. If you're looking to hire an attorney, do not hesitate for one second to retain Sarah Perez.

As a former colleague and friend of Attorney Sarah J Perez, I am honored to provide a personal and business reference for her. I had the pleasure of working with Miss Perez in 2013 when she served as the HOA president for the condominium complex where I was the manager. Over the years, we built a strong friendship based on mutual respect and admiration for each other's work. In my experience working with Miss Perez, I found her to be an exceptional attorney who is passionate about her work. She is dedicated to providing her clients with the best possible legal representation and is always willing to go above and beyond to ensure their needs are met. Her attention to detail and thoroughness in her work is truly impressive. Miss Perez has represented me in several legal cases, and I can attest to her professionalism and expertise. She was always available to answer any questions I had and kept me informed throughout the entire process. Her ability to explain complex legal concepts in a way that was easy to understand was greatly appreciated. What sets Miss Perez apart from other attorneys is her genuine care for her clients. She takes the time to listen to their concerns and works tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome for them. Her compassion and empathy for her clients are truly remarkable. In addition to her legal skills, Miss Perez is also an excellent communicator and collaborator. She works well with others and is always willing to lend a helping hand. Her positive attitude and willingness to work as a team player make her a valuable asset to any organization. Overall, I highly recommend Attorney Sarah J Perez for any legal needs.

He won hands down getting a substantial judgement in favor of his client going the extra mile every step of the way. I'm getting nothing for this review and now live in another state so I am not looking forward to future business from Scott, rather I'm being totally sincere and disinterested. He's truly a gifted litigator and comes across to the jury in a way I've never seen before. He didn't even refer me on this case rather I was already an acquaintance of his client who hired me directly herself. Scott is truly brilliant and a man of honor and good character. Hire him!

Paul is passionate, professional and knowledgeable. Paul and his team are very human and care about you, not only as a client but as a person. To be honest he even had more faith and confidence in the win and myself. You definitely want him on your side.

Shane Miller changed the trajectory of my life. I was facing three felony charges and he managed to get them reduced to a misdemeanor. Throughout my lengthy case Shane was attentive and quick to answer any questions or concerns I had either by phone or text. I’m not the type of person that takes the time to write reviews for services but in this case I feel compelled to. I’m sure there are other attorneys that are also punctual and professional, but I felt that Shane cared about not only my case, but my well being even when I didn’t care about my own. That’s not my experience with other attorneys and I believe that’s something money can’t buy.

Attorney Shane Miller Cares! He kept me up to date on what was going in my case and court. Making legal decisions that can affect your life forever can be extremely stressful. Shane was able to reduce my stress and let me focus on family and work and allowed me to make the best educated decision on how we should proceed in my case. Shane not only was able to advise me on what to do he was able to get my Class 4 Felony Reduced to a Class 1 Misdemeanor and got me off of probation that was supposed to be 18 months in 10! He is professional and literally one of the best people I know! If you are stressed or are trying to figure out what you are going to do in a legal situation call Attorney Shane Miller at the Miller Law Firm! 10/10!!!

Kevin was assigned to my case as a public defender. If I had the money I would still definitely choose him. I had a criminal charge that I was worried would interfere with future schooling/job offers. I was so happy that he got the prosecutor to dismiss the case. He's very good at his job and honest. Straight to the point about how he wanted to approach the case. I appreciated his honesty and prompt responses if I'd leave messages for him on the phone. Would definitely recommend him to anyone in a bind.

Finding myself in the worst situation I have ever been in, Kevin was there with me through the entire process. It would be almost impossible to describe exactly what he means to me and my family. The first time we met, he was very open and honest about what I was facing and more importantly what he intended to do for me. This never changed throughout the entire process. He is the only man that I would ever trust to represent me or anyone close to me in the courtroom. I won't go into many specifics in this review but I quite literally would not be able to be home writing this right now if it wasn't for Kevin. He is an incredibly dedicated lawyer who cares very much about the success of the people he represents. I have now fulfilled much of my obligation to the courts and am satisfied with the resolution we were able to come to and I know that none of this would be possible of it wasn't for him. Even now, over a year since our first meeting, we are still in contact and he has always been incredibly supportive of my recovery and helping me to put all of this behind me and move forward with my life. And again, this is the life I get to live today because he believed in me and worked every single day to ensure my freedom.

Im glad I was lucky enough to end up with a lawyer as cool and good at his job as Kevin. I walked into this entire process blindfolded and really didn't know what to expect but Kevin helped me out big time by going over the process and helping me understand what to expect. Also, because I lived out of state Kevin did a great job of keeping in touch and giving me suggestions as we went along! Kevin was also a huge help by showing up for me at my first few court hearings working to get my case dismissed. Great guy and I reccomend his assistance to anyone looking for help with the court system!

Where do I begin? This review should have happened a while ago. Finding Mr. Meyer: Attorney Aaron Meyer was had to find. There are so many people out there that claim to be professional and good at their profession. Aaron didn’t stand out to me, simply because I knew nothing of how to gauge the ability of an attorney. However, with every round of choosing he remained at the top. Initial Interaction: I explained my case and he knew exactly what to do. He wanted to attack it head on, before the case was referred. I didn’t listen and let the time slip away. Months later, the case was referred. I found myself back at his door… knocking. He answered my call and “shook his finger at me”. It was well deserved. He then pushed that right under the bridge and began his work. The case would serious, and he treated it as such. Aaron turned on the turbos. He knew that time was not on our side. Hiring Mr. Meyer: Mr. Meyer charged me an amount that was fair for the work that he did. Once we entered the 32 hearing, Mr. Meyer took the stage. He changed the authority of everyone. He made sure that they didn’t treat my freedom as a second thought. He also made them look at their methods of investigations, chain of custody, and how they viewed cases (not just mine). By the end of the 10 hour Article 32 Hearing, I felt very good about it. I did not anticipate them dismissing the case and a 17 page report, in my favor, written by the “judge”. Conclusion: This man is an absolute monster in the courtroom. He put me in mind of Tom Cruise in A Few Good Men. I strongly recommend Attorney Aaron Meyer. Personally, thank you Aaron for your hard work, truths, and availability. Please keep doing what you are doing, teach others, and take vacations (you deserve it).

Aaron Meyer is the first attorney I ever needed to utilize in my life and with exceptional professionalism as well as a very personable demeanor I was heavily impressed and forever thankful for all the work he has done. He not only helped me with my case but to this day I still tell my friends about the amazing work this man has done for me. He sets a bar that I don't think many could ever conceive reaching as a defense attorney.

I was referred to Aaron Meyer Law by a longtime friend who used to work defense council with Aaron. He told me “I’ve never seen anyone advocate or litigate more aggressively for their clients in the courtroom than Aaron does, if I was in your shoes he’s the guy I’d trust to defend me”. Unfortunately my friends representation of AML’s capabilities was an UNDERSTATEMENT. Aaron fought tirelessly, methodically and zealously for me before, during and AFTER my case was dismissed altogether. With my back against the wall, my career and future in immediate jeopardy, and what was seemingly an insurmountable amount of evidence against me - Aaron not only prevailed but DESTROYED the opposing counsel, uncovering videos and documents (in my favor) I didn’t even know existed - while subtly making a complete mockery of their case against me. In the months leading up to trial AND the months after the trial, no call, text, or email went unanswered in a prompt, timely and professional manner. An attorney/client dynamic I was unaccustomed to having dealt with family attorneys the past two years. It is my firm belief that there is not another attorney within the United States that could’ve done what Aaron did for me, my family and my career. This man owed me nothing, but litigated my case as if his own life was at stake. It is without hesitation that I’d hire him again or refer him to anyone I know if they unfortunately found themselves in the position I was in. His case results are real, and I’m forever indebted to this man and his firm for saving my life.

I had a speeding ticket. Eric asked me what happened to me that day. He represented me in court and I am very happy with the results!! He is a successful attorney because he listens, cares and understands your situation. He is very knowledgeable and shows great presence and professionalism in and outside the courtroom. Going to Eric Trabin from Lucid Law is the best decision I made. M. Lange

He got me out of a VOP - during the pandemic! Which meant it was more difficult and took longer, - another month - because of courts closing and drastically having to switch from county to county. But he fought for me! Assured me of a successful plea. And can tell from the way he talked to me on the phone that he is real nice, passionate and cares very much to win your case.

Lori-Ann Rickard and her team were awesome in helping us with our Father's estate. We could not have asked for a better attorney who fought for us when a non family member tried to contest our Father's estate. Lori-Ann made sure we were kept updated on a regular basis. I will always highly recommend Rickard & Associates for wills, trusts and probate. Thank you everyone you have been great. Teri Elmore

Extremely professional and effective law firm. Christina was constantly talking to me about the case and any updates that she had. She was able to reduce my case from an original deal of 3 months incarcerated to 45 days of house arrest due to the research she did on me and her ability to show the court the ways in which I have vastly changed since the beginning of my case. Would recommend to anyone that is going through something similar.

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.
