Keith Sullivan and his partner James Galleshaw along with their staff were the most caring and kind lawyers I have ever dealt with. They always made sure to answer all of our questions and took a lot of time explaining things and keeping us in the loop. I was extremely satisfied with the settlement they were able to get my husband and I. Great experience overall with Keith, Jay and the firm as a whole.

Mr. Keith Sullivan is an excellent attorney . He is very thorough, knowledgeable and is an incredible problem solver! He recently handled a matter for me that would have disrupted my business, but he took over the problem and handled it with incredible care, so I could continue to run my business! Thank you Keith Sullivan!

I had a bad slip and fall last year, and broke my leg due to the negligence of a poorly managed building . It was a very trying time for my girlfriend and I, with complications arising at every turn. But Keith Sullivan was there from day one. He was a constant and steady advocate, who listened, empathized and then fought with all that he had. He always kept us in the loop with what his office was working on, and every member of his firm was attentive and knowledgeable. I had set a high bar for what I wanted as compensation. I had suffered a great deal and wanted the number to reflect that. Not only did Keith Sullivan deliver my request, but he got over 3 times the amount I expected. Now I am able to start my life over again. I cannot recommend Sullivan and Galleshaw more highly. They are the absolute best.

I cannot express enough gratitude for Sheridan's exceptional work as my attorney. When I faced a serious charge that threatened my long-term career, Sheridan’s expertise and dedication made all the difference. Even while on vacation with her family, she stayed engaged and accessible, often answering calls and messages outside of regular hours and using her personal cell phone to keep me informed and supported. Her tireless efforts led to the charge being dropped and rejected by the prosecutor, a result that truly saved my career. Sheridan’s commitment and professionalism went above and beyond. I highly recommend hiring Sheridan for any legal help, as her extraordinary support was truly remarkable.

Sheridan Lewis is a name that should live in infamy… for being a tornado of creative ideas and supportive help in a convoluted justice system capable of eating innocent people alive. Or maybe the criminal justice system is the tornado and Sheridan is a tornado shelter. Either way, know this: if Sheridan is your advocate, you will get the best advice and support possible. She can’t make magic happen, but she knows how to navigate rapids and help people feel comfort through the stress. Here are some qualities everyone should know about Sheridan: Sheridan can work in Dallas or Collin County, and she KNOWS HOW TO REACH OUT AND BUILD RELATIONSHIPS with people (including prosecutors). Apparently, so much of this criminal justice process is about making connections with people and trying to work within the system. That makes sense, but knowing when to contact, what to ask of prosecutors, and how to be nice but insistent in a way that builds credibility makes Sheridan feel like Gandalf (that’s a super smart wizard to you non-Lord of the Rings people). She just knows what to do, who to contact, and what is realistic. Sheridan is REALISTIC and HOPEFUL. She also “takes every bite at the apple” to help exonerate clients (meaning SHE TRIES EVERYTHING). We talked to a number of attorneys one of which was horrible and still has a five star review. Most of them told us that the most we could hope for was to settle something we could accept. I was not about that, especially because we are innocent. Sheridan had a different approach - she said we will ALWAYS try to appeal to good judgement at every stage. She was right. Our case was dismissed because of her positive outlook, her detailed work, her encouragement, and her advice. Sheridan PRIORITIZES PEOPLE and cares about her clients as humans. Our first lawyer never called us back. I know that they get busy, but never? Sheridan is responsive and communicates well. Just be up front with when you want to chat, and she and her associates will schedule Zoom calls or meetings. Sheridan THINKS STRATEGICALLY and EXPLAINS PROCESSES. With each step, Sheridan laid our game plan and then explained the what ands why. I know more about all this CJ process because of her careful insights. Sheridan is a funny woman who is considered by many in the field to be a top attorney - has impressed many and she will impress you. If given the opportunity, she will make you laugh as she guides you through as well as can be expected with this strange stuff. It’s nice to know that normal people who have a sense of humor are also available as effective lawyers. If you are looking for a criminal attorney, I promise that Sheridan will not disappoint.

Consult with Sheridan Lewis before you hire an attorney. I was falsely accused of an unspeakable crime and had no clue how to defend against such an awful allegation. How does one prove that something never happened, after all? Being referred to Sheridan was by far the best thing that happened! When I sat down to take a polygraph, the examiner told me he didn't know if I had done anything wrong YET (implying he would after the exam). He quickly added that what I had done right was to hire Sheridan Lewis. Truer words were never spoken. Sheridan's expertise is unmatched. She truly is brilliant. Her intelligence, years of experience, excellent communication style, and fighting spirit are just what you need no matter how serious the allegation against you. Sheridan offered excellent advice and helped us remain both positive and realistic in our outlook. Moreover, Sheridan treated us like we were her only client – taking time to talk with us, hear our concerns, reassure us concerning the process, etc. She treated us with dignity and kindness despite the seriousness and awful nature of the false allegation. Sheridan stands out from the other attorneys with whom we had consultations. You want and need someone willing to fight for you. Sheridan fights for her clients and for the truth! Here are two specific examples. First, bond conditions required me to wear a monitoring device. Other attorneys told me it would be approximately nine months before it might be removed. For several reasons, Sheridan thought we could at least ask the court to remove it. Thanks to her tenacity, the court ordered it removed after only two months – long before any other attorney said they would even try. Another example was the stellar defense package she and her team assembled. Several other attorneys said the odds of success were too low and they did not spend time putting a package together. Fortunately, Sheridan said we should take every opportunity to demonstrate my innocence. We knew nothing was guaranteed but felt comfortable that we were in as strong a position as possible going into the grand jury because of Sheridan and her outstanding team. The grand jury found no probable cause to indict the case and I was never charged with a crime. Before hiring Sheridan, other attorneys said the best outcome we could hope for was a plea deal. The moral of the story is this: do not hire another attorney until you've met with Sheridan. She literally saved my future because she was willing to do what was right and mounted a robust defense against false allegations. There are not words to adequately thank Sheridan Lewis for all she did on our behalf. We are eternally grateful!

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Mark Hearp and he is an angel!!! I couldn't sleep eat or rest at all the week before my court hearing, I stayed up all night, every night researching things about my case and pretty much freaking myself out more. I went into the office every single day before my hearing and bothered Mr. Hearp and his assistant with questions and all my concerns and they were more than willing to help me. I am so thankful I went to Beaver-Courie & had them with me every step of the way, without them I wouldn't have gotten my case dismissed and able to go back to my normal life. I am beyond thankful and grateful for Mr. Hearp's help, words cannot fully grasp the gratitude I have!

On February 16, 2018 around 7PM I hear a knock at the door. I answered the door and to my surprise, I see two Police Officers which are government officers. Once my ID was established, I was presented with a warrant for my arrest. Accused of (I'M-ASSAULT GOVT OFFICIAL/EMPLY) and this started thinking, How, Who, When and Where. Once all paperwork completed by the police officer at the (CCDC) Cumberland County Detention Center I was released with from the CCDC with a court date on March 08, 2018. I was not sure what I was going to do, represent myself or talk with an attorney. I gathered up all my paperwork, video from home security system and compiled what I thought was good to represent myself in court. The more I thought about it I researched all of Cumberland County for the best rated legal professional Law Firm and Lawyers. When I read all the great reviews about BEAVER/COURIE Law Firm I had a review with Mark L. Hearp on March 05, 2018 then requested he represent me as my attorney. Mark requested a little more information which I provided and informed me of the process he was going to use and the objective was to have the case dismissed. Mark entered the courtroom around 8:30am waved across the courtroom to let me know he was there for me and his strategy. Mark met with quite a few people on his legal team and interviewed the Police Officers I was accused of assaulting, gathered more information, then spoke with the district attorney presenting all the information and evidence he had gathered, learned from his interviews then he returned into the courtroom approximately 11am to inform me this case was dismissed an I was free to go. As I departed from the courtroom I express my gratitude and appreciation for his legal experience and was very proud of Mark Hearp. I will always recommend to everyone they should have their first consultation with BEAVER/COURIE Law firm and request for Mark L. Hearp.

Dennis Belli was referred to me during the most desperate humiliating time in my life. He seemed to care as much about my case as I did. Mr Belli is professional, caring and attentive. He was detailed and meticulous in his preparation to present my case. Mr Belli presented evidence to defend me that I didn't even know existed. Mr Belli is a genius in the courtroom. In the courtroom Mr Belli is a brilliant artist and his medium is his words. If my family or a loved ones should ever need legal representation there is no one else I would want by their side but Dennis Belli.

The first day I met Chet, he pulled me aside and explained to me what being a defense attorney meant to him. He explained that it didn’t matter how much money someone had or their standing in society. He reassured me that I didn’t have to impress him. He Put his heart and soul into giving someone the absolute best defense they could possibly have. Working every angle and considering every outcome.. In addition to his unimpeachable ethics, Mr. Palumbo is also very personable and considerate. Always worried that my attorney certainly won’t care nearly as much about my case as I do, I texted him far too often, He didn’t have to convince me. It was obvious in his actions.. I never had to wonder where he was or if he was going to show up in court. His communication.with me was quite remarkable… he always returned my text messages within 60 seconds. Every time, I was shocked. When dealing with a legal situation, It’s so important to feel secure that your attorney has your back. Chet Palumbo had my back and I never had to worry. My criminal cases could have easily garnered a horrible result, but thanks my defense, My adjudication was shockingly painless. I whole heartedly recommend Mr Palumbo.

Chris is a fantastic attorney. Granted, he didn't come cheap; however, you get what you pay for. I had been charged with a DUI after refusing to do a field sobriety test and they took my driver's license with resulted in two cases: civil, to NOT have my license suspended, and criminal for DUI. I found Mr. Angles after being referred to him by another attorney I reached out to. I read his reviews and decided to meet with him. He was professional, calm, honest, and reassuring. He told me my case was "interesting" and decided to take me on as a client. More than a year after the incident, he called me with the news that the prosecution was dismissing the case. Similarly, he fought for me to not have my license taken away, which also was dismissed. This guy was a godsend. Thank you so much Chris, for all your hard work. If you need a great, hardworking, respectful attorney that looks at every detail of the case, Chris Angles is your man!

Thoughts of even attempting to navigate the complexities of the justice system is no easy feat...let alone actually doing it, however, Mr. Janecki saw my problems and took them head on, without any hesitation. His unwavering commitment to my case gave me the hope and the confidence to see my case through to the end, rather than give up/give in to the DA's original plea deal(s) at the very beginning. His strategic approach, attention to detail, and professionalism were evident from our initial telephone call last June, to the final (and best!) resolution of my case today. I feel very fortunate to have had him by side during this very challenging time for me. His exceptional skills as an attorney have left me nothing short of impressed and have further inspired me to continue my legal education to hopefully one day be able to offer the same high-quality of services to my own clients.

I will continue to recommend anyone having any issues with current or former employers to Russ. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. Thank you for all your patience and mental fortitude!

The turnaround was astounding, impressive, and much needed. The issue was resolved the same day, and the immediate connection and ability to speak directly greatly helped everything within the process. Unlike other law firms that you have to work through an army of admin assistants, working with Russ was easy, fast, and I received expert-level resolution without any back and forth or time wasted. I always prefer working directly with the experts due to efficiency and getting the right answers instead of wasting time or any miscommunication and Russ's law practice was able to to resolve my issue efficiently and exceeded my expectations.

I was terminated by my employer and I thought I had a case. I was either ignored or turned away because of "conflicts of interest." Russell came by way of a referral from a Labor Rights website and I am so grateful. He really looked into my case and listened to me. When Russ believes in something, he's passionate about it. I don't know anything about law and he made sure to explain each phase and had multiple courses of actions so I always knew all my options and was fully involved in each decision.

Very well-respected and has good relationships throughout the court system by peers, prosector, and judges. I'd argue this is but ONE of THE MOST important qualities when hiring an attorney. (Their relationships with their peers, judges, and those in the court) Ted is sharp and his analytical skills and innovative strategies were applied to the case. Ted understands the intricacies of the cofusing legal system; especially the local one and was able to translate the complex legal jargon into easily understandable terms. Also sense of humor for high stress relief. His office staff is very helpful and compassionate.

My family hired Mark Velez after our former attorney withdrew from our case. It was the best decision that we have ever made! Mark is the most friendly, compassionate, honest, trustworthy, caring, and knowledgeable attorney that I have ever met! Mark was always going above and beyond and always stayed on top of our case! He would consistently update us about our case and he cleared up all the miscommunication that our former attorney caused with us and the city. We were charged with 4 code violations that our tenants created which was unbeknown to us. The case was tied up in court for 3 years because our former attorney caused so much miscommunication between us and the city. When we hired Mark to take over the case. He got all charges dismissed after only 2 court appearances. Throughout the whole process, Mark made us feel safe and stress-free. We definitely felt like we were in good hands! Mark was our superhero and I definitely consider him to be part of my family! I would recommend Mark if you are ever in legal trouble! Thank you Mark for all your hard work! We greatly appreciate you!

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.
