The professionalism and quality of a big city law firm in the middle of Montana! In my opinion there is no better equipped, and trustworthy representation available in the state. This is your life on the line, do you want some overworked state appointed representative that will spend ten minutes on your file before a hearing? or try to convince you to take a bad plea deal just to clear their case load for the month? Or would you rather have a dedicated team that will give the best of their ability to reach an appropriate outcome. Your peace, your treasure, and your reputation is on the line... I think in twenty or thirty years you will look back and realize the money 💰 you spent here will be they best investment you have ever made. Dillion is as sharp as a tack (smart), and Victoria is an unbelievably hard worker. They have gone above and beyond for me and I will appreciate them for the rest of my life. I would advise you to choose dodd law firm. Nothing is worth more than your freedom, your time with family and your livelihood. DO IT

Dan handled my felony case with exceptional care and effectiveness. For my case, Dan performed really well at key inflection points, often showing creativity and thoroughness in his arguments. I was left feeling that I had just the right attorney for my situation, and the fact that Dan is highly respected by judges as honest and ethical, played into my very successful result. I can't recommend him highly enough.

I came to Dan a few times and I want to say it was the best decision I've made. He was very straightforward with me and the best part is the many years of experience he has. He was able to pretty much guess the outcome of my case from just our first consultation. He's a great guy and very easy going and caring!

I had need of an attorney and found Brandon Luna. I spoke briefly with Brandon Luna and described my situation. He relayed that he had experience in similar cases. We hired Bandon Luna. He reviewed my situation and came up to speed very, very quickly - he did not invoice for many, many hours. Brandon Luna met with me and shared his strategy. He was spot-on. He arrived at the court appearance and very quickly was able to get one charge dismissed and the other vacated. Brandon Luna is a good attorney with the skill and knowledge to get me through a difficult situation quickly and reasonably.

Brandon took my restitution case in the middle and came in and won my case for me. He was very knowledgeable and confident in his ability to swing the court in favor of my defense. He worked magic in the courtroom and saved me hundreds of thousands of dollars and made it look so easy. If I ever need another lawyer my first call will be to Brandon Luna because I’ve seen this man at work and if you need a good lawyer your first call should be to Mr. Luna

Once I made the choice to have legal representation and was fortunate enough to hire Brandon, the hardest part was done for me. After reading his reviews and seeing his work history I felt confident that I was in very competent hands. I think a defense attorney that has been a successful DA is invaluable if you find yourself in the unfortunate position to need legal assistance. Having an open case is very stressful, but watching Brandon work has actually been it's own kind of joy. He saw the path to resolution very early on, always responded to my concerns, input and questions, and was amazingly successful at helping me find peace of mind in the midst of my most stressful life experience yet. I think the man is a rock, and one with a kind heart! He will most certainly be my recommendation if I talk with others who will benefit from his skill.

He is very detail oriented and very, very thorough, Mr Henderson absolutely dot’s all I’s and crosse’s all T’s, He is fully prepared at all times, don’t let the small town attorney image fool you, he can run with the big dog’s ! He took the big one down in my case. I, my siblings and my mother will forever be grateful to him and would never hesitate to retain his services again if in need of representation. If you ever find yourself in a legal bind, I highly recommend you reach out to Mr, Daniel Henderson. You will not be disappointed ! Our deepest gratitude Love Luke and Rowena

Recently I, along with my family, was involved in a traumatic and emotionally draining personal injury lawsuit with a big-league defendant. Needing a premier personal injury lawyer, we selected Attorney Mollie C. McGraw (McGraw & Strickland LLC) for representation. Our decision to select Attorney McGraw was spot on and eventually led to positive outcomes against the defendant. During the arduous and nerve-racking negotiations, Attorney McGraw displayed utmost personal empathy, top-notched legal knowledge and advise, superior negotiating skills and provided timely updates and sage advice. Our positive settlement accomplished several outcomes. First, it provided verifiable action to address and eliminate the hazardous conditions/improper installation which led to a very unfortunate incident. This eliminated the potential for other individuals to be negatively affected by those deficiencies. Lastly, the settlement negotiated by Attorney McGraw on my behalf was fair. Besides acknowledging and rectifying deficiencies that led to my life-threatening conditions, it provided just compensation for mental, emotional, and medical traumas. If you or family members need legal, assistance, my family and I recommend Attorney Mollie C McGraw as your attorney of choice based on her outstanding legal professionalism and personal demeanor.

I recently had the privilege of attending an event whereMrs. McGraw, an exceptional lawyer, showcased her remarkable skills, expertise, and dedication to fighting for justice. McGraw is not just a lawyer; she is a force to be reckoned with – eloquent, knowledgeable, and empowering to our community. Her commitment to her clients and her unwavering pursuit of justice truly left a lasting impression on me. Mrs. McGraw's ability to inspire and empower is truly commendable. She fights relentlessly for her clients, ensuring that justice is served. Her passion for seeking the truth and exposing misconduct is evident in her work, making wrongdoers pay for the damages they have caused. McGraw's dedication to her clients goes beyond legal representation; she builds trust and advocates for their rights, working closely with them every step of the way. One cannot overlook her impressive track record all the way to the Supreme Court 💪🏽 It is clear that her expertise extends to various areas, including personal injury, civil rights, victims of crime and inadequate security cases, insurance bad faith, and pharmaceutical negligence. Her extensive experience in state and federal courts is a testament to her versatility and ability to handle complex cases effectively. McGraw's accolades and recognition are well-deserved. Beyond her legal endeavors, McGraw actively contributes to her community. She served as the President of the New Mexico Trial Lawyers Association (NMTLA) and volunteers her time to benefit Emerge New Mexico, an organization dedicated to promoting Democratic women leaders. Her commitment to fostering positive change extends beyond the courtroom, making her a true asset to society. On a personal note, McGraw's dedication to her family and community was inspiring to me and it was an honor attending emerge event . Her passion, knowledge, and determination to bring justice to those who have been harmed or wronged are truly remarkable. McGraw is not only an exceptional lawyer but also an inspiration to our community. With her by your side, you can trust that your case will be fought with unparalleled tenacity, and justice will be pursued until the end. Thank you again for your True Force for Empowerment and Justice sincerely

My name is David. I hired Shawn and Kelly to help me seek damages from a contractor who installed defective materials in my home. After 9 months of being ignored, deceived, and mistreated by the contractor, I decided to pursue legal action. Shawn and Kelly took a proactive and professional approach and initially created a very detailed demand letter citing various legal precedence and legal remedies to attempt to find an out of court settlement. Coupled with claims with the California Contractors State License Board and the contractor’s Bond company, we were not only successful achieving a fair settlement, but I also covered my legal costs and all of the costs to repair my home. There were even enough monies left over to take my wife out for dinner after a year of feeling helpless against a dishonest company. I would also like to disclose that I previously had a disagreement with a tenant who also used Huston/McCaffrey to represent them. I am pleased to say that that tenant and I were able to find a solution. I felt that Kelly and Shawn represented my tenant so well, that if they were good enough for my tenant they were good enough for me. If you can’t beat them, join them. And that’s what I did. Through Huston/McCaffrey I achieved more than I thought would be possible. I highly recommend the services of Huston/McCaffrey, LLP. Thank you Shawn and Kelly. Sincerely, David

When we were looking for an ethical attorney to represent our son, it was a daunting task. We interviewed many attorneys, but after meeting and speaking with Matthew Izzi, I knew that he was the one to represent our son's defense. I felt he would approach his defense with integrity and respect for our son, and he did. Matthew doesn't fall into believing false accusations of articles written, community pressures and opposing counsel stacked charges, he develops his defense based on facts, based on the truth for his client, our son. He assured our son of his defense plan and collaborated with our son on the best way to develop his defense strategy. Matthew's demeaner in the courtroom is professional, no matter how much opposing counsel tries to pull his strings, he remains calm and forthright. He addressed injustices that were made against our son and explained many facts, of the truth, that sheds a bright light for the jury to see and that light doesn't go out, for that is what the truth does, it shines bright. Matthew gave us hope, something the DA tried to destroy. The Shasta legal system is a process of delays, unnecessary jail time --for our son, questionable decisions made by appointed judges, unfair bail , this is 'not' a justice system in our point of view. This was frustrating for us and for our son. We experienced many injustices during my son's trial by opposing counsel and Shasta Sheriff dept. So you need a good lawyer when you are in Shasta's court system. If you are looking for a good defense lawyer consider Matthew, he cares for his client's well being, despite the uphill battle he faces when dealing with the opposing counsel's unprofessional behaviors, different judges and Shasta Sherriff/Probation dept., etc.. One more comment, if you read anything written via yelp, social media or in the newspaper, that is negative about Matthew's character, by certain people in Shasta county, don't believe them, they can't deal with Matthew being so good at his job and believing in our son's account regarding what really happened. God knows the truth and the yappers negativity against my son, will be dealt with by God. When stacked charges are brought up against your loved one, you need an attorney who will represent your loved one, in an aggressive, professional, intelligent and smart manner. The highlight is-- you need Matthew who will believe in you and will work diligently to prove your loved one's innocence. Matthew helped me understand an area, that I wasn't familiar with, the legal system, this also helped our son fight the system for his innocence and to try to get through the difficult situation. Matthew's staff is friendly, listened to me through many phone calls regarding my frustration with the Court process, the DA and Sherriff dept. So consider Matthew for your defense, this will be the most important decision of your loved one's life.

I can’t say enough about Curt, Nicole, and Robert. My situation is extremely contentious and complex. They came into my (messy) case five years later trying to clean up another attorneys many mistakes and unjust rulings. I spoke to numerous attorneys prior to retaining them and most of the others practices refused to sign on to my case because of the complexity of the matter. Curt and his team not only reviewed my case and accept the challenge, they embraced it, learned my case inside and out and are determined to provide the justice my children and I deserve. My case involves custody, relocation, appeals, real estate, numerous motions, court appearances and more. They have handled everything with professionalism and extreme kindness. They are detail oriented and create well thought out plans of action. They keep me informed every step of the way. It’s comforting to know I have a team supporting me and who truly care about me and my future during the hardest times of my life. They have made themselves very available for my many questions at all hours, and have consistently shown that they are working in the best interest of my children. Their legal knowledge and experience are evident in their work and commitment to my case. I cannot express how fortunate and grateful I am to have found them and to have them representing me. I will continue to rely on them as I still have a long road ahead of me and I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking legal counsel.

Heather is very aggressive in defending her clients. She represented my ex-wife in our divorce and had no problem telling the judge outright lies and slandering my name in attempt to paint me as the "bad guy" in the divorce. She encouraged her client to try to have my mother arrested for harassment due to a few text messages that were actually polite and courteous. She encouraged her client to file a false police report against me after her client intentionally damaged her own property in a storage unit. She sent an IWO to my employer and had child support taken out of my pay check before the judge even signed the order. She sets her morals and ethics aside when defending her clients. She's expensive, but worth every penny if you need someone to strongly defend you in a difficult divorce.

Mr. Mutimer assisted me in a rather "messy" matter which resulted in a favorable outcome. Throughout litigation I was presented different options/routes to take to which Mr. Mutimer always took the time out to explain the effects these options could/would have on my future. I never once felt the pressure that he wanted to "just get this case over and settle for less." His attention to detail made a huge difference and the results show. Mr. Mutimer restlessly fought-litigated from the beginning of my case to the very end as if it was a personal matter of his own. The quality of legal representation has exceeded beyond my expectations. As a Client I'm excited to see where his skillset takes him in the years to come. Lastly, don't waste your time comparing prices/reviews with other Law Firms. This is the one. Not to mention they're (Scrofano Law PC) located a convenient 1500 feet away from the DC Superior Court - That says something.

I was physically assaulted, somehow I was arrested? I spent a day in jail and had to defend myself from a family member who had assaulted me and lied. I am soooo glad I called Charnesky and Dieglio. Dina answered my call. I think it was a Sunday, she stayed on the phone and was very caring and competent and I hired her. Dina was knowledgeable, honest and forward about the charges. I live out of state and Dina and James went to court for me. My trial date was a while back and Dina and James were there for me. They were excellent and knew how to handle this case. The Judge ended up granting "acquitted-not guilty" -which is rare. I trusted them and I am so Thankful for them. I would not hesitate to hire them or recommend them!

If you want someone who’s going to defend you like Perry Mason or matlock, he’s your guy. Most lawyers now are just litigators but Dave is a brawler and he is a nerd who knows the law. He is one of the people I respect and admire the most that I’ve ever met.

My son was charged with a felony. We are from out of town and we did not know what to do. So I hired David to handle my son’s case. His wisdom, empathy, and efforts not only eased my mind but brought us through. The charges were dropped! My son is free! He kept his job! My son is thriving today! No words can truly express my gratitude.

I hired Mr. Howard after shopping around, he had a competitive rate, and seemed capable and savvy. I'm glad I did. Mr. Howard was a consummate professional, spoke to me frankly and let me know what my options were. He was able to facilitate my case being dismissed, and I'm very grateful to him. If you need a good lawyer, Dave Howard's your man.

I felt like Dave had my back, and that I was in good hands. He went above and beyond getting my cases cleaned up, and took care of everything that needed to be taken care of without me having to do a thing. Dave was always on time and taking care of business. I'm sure he deals with a lot of people, but you always felt your matters were important. At the end of the day, he had it all taken care of perfectly, always laying out all options.

I hired The Wagoner Firm to represent me in a dispute with my business partner. Without even going to court, Matt and the team advocated aggressively for me and negotiated a settlement that got me exactly what I was after and what I was owed. They were on top of things, kept me updated, were always available to answer my questions and didn't back down when things got tough. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for strong legal counsel.

By far the best lawyer I've worked with, and I definitely recommend him to anyone!

If you are dealing with a family matter, I highly recommend working with Tina Corr. Pricing: Tina Corr was fair and consistent with pricing. Her contract was straightforward and easy to read. Prices are reasonable and billing was explicitly spelled out ahead of time so no surprises. Personality: Tina Corr was wonderful to talk to. She gave me the truth even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear. She read everything I sent (and I mean read, not just received) and she responded mindfully to all of my concerns. Efficiency: Tina Corr was responsive (almost always within 24 hours via phone or email!) and efficient with paperwork. Everything was filed correctly on time if not early. I never felt like my lawyer left me hanging. Flexibility: Tina Corr was able to respond specifically to the unique needs and requests I had for my case. I think family cases can be nuanced and mine was no different. Tina Corr was able curate the work on her end to suit my specific circumstance. I attribute this to the fact that she's a good listener and perceptive; qualities that can be difficult to find in a lawyer.

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.
