Helene and Steve were the most helpful, perseverant, and supportive professionals I have experienced to date. They made the impossible possible and performed nothing short of a miracle. I would highly recommend them for your legal needs, they are experienced and well renowned making for a great fit. I was allegedly arrested for distribution and possession of marijuana. Helene successfully entered me into drug court despite the difficulty doing so and worked very intelligently to service me.

I highly recommend you contact Ellis & Ellis prior to dealing with any insurance company. Insurance companies only serve to try to place blame on you so that they may deny coverage on your claim. Even if you are not at fault, these companies prey on consumers and will use your words against you. Ellis & Ellis will make sure your claim is handled the proper way so that you are given a fair chance for a just settlement.

When I was in a car accident last year, my sister referred me to Ellis & Ellis. They have been a great help to me and my family. They did all the work and were able to get me more than the car insurance was able to provide. They settled everything on their own and kept us updated throughout the process. Whenever I had questions, they were quick to reply and were very sincere from the beginning to end. The Ellis & Ellis team is so wonderful to have. I would highly recommend them.

I had the pleasure of working with Denise Landeros for my citizenship application, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the very beginning, Denise demonstrated a high level of professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for my case. Denise was incredibly thorough and attentive to every detail, ensuring that all the necessary documentation was in order and submitted on time. She made the entire process feel effortless and stress-free, which was a huge relief. Her in-depth knowledge of immigration law and procedures was evident throughout our interactions, and she always took the time to explain everything clearly, making sure I fully understood each step. Thanks to Denise’s hard work and dedication, my citizenship application was approved without any issues, and the whole experience was smooth and successful. I am incredibly grateful for her exceptional service and would highly recommend Denise Landeros to anyone seeking an immigration attorney.

I recently had the privilege of working with Mr. Teddy Rivera and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the exceptional legal services provided. From the outset, Teddy Rivera demonstrated a level of professionalism and expertise that surpassed my expectations. What impressed me most was Teddy Rivera 's attention to detail and commitment to ensuring that every aspect of my case was thoroughly examined and addressed. The clear and concise communication throughout the process helped alleviate any concerns I had, providing me with the confidence that I was in capable hands. Mr. Teddy Rivera not only possesses an extensive knowledge of the law but also has a remarkable ability to convey complex legal concepts in a way that is easily understandable. This made the entire experience much more manageable and allowed me to make informed decisions about my case. Beyond the technical aspects of the legal work, Mr. Teddy Rivera demonstrated genuine care and empathy. The personal touch and consideration for my specific needs and concerns set him apart from other professionals I have worked with in the past. I would wholeheartedly recommend Teddy Rivera to anyone seeking legal assistance. He is not just a lawyer; he is a true advocate for his clients, dedicated to achieving the best possible outcomes. Thank you, Mr. Teddy Rivera , for your outstanding service and for making a challenging process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

At 57 and having to deal with a few attorneys in my younger years, I didn't like any of them. I would say "I didn't like ANY attorney" because they ALL had the "better than anyone attitude", etc. I ALMOST didn't call an attorney; was just going to Public Defender & plea out because wasn't interested in an attorney just out for the money when they knew the "End Result" would be the same; however, at the suggestion of my bondsman, I decided to call & talk to Josh figuring nothing to lose by making the call. THANK GOD I made that call in May 2014; With 1 question from Josh I realized it was not that cut & dry; AND, I felt he was being honest, not just trying to suck a client in for money! I hired Josh. Since the beginning, I could feel his sincerity with my case. 1st time I can honestly say an attorney (Joshua Rydell) went above & beyond any expectations I ever had!! I had F3 & M1 charges; March 2017 (almost 3 years after arrest), F3 & M1, was amended to M1 only with 12 mos prob & possible off in 6 mos; total court & probation costs will be $318; AND all would have been thrown out due to the warrant if my employment time clocks had been working both days in question. From the beginning I told Josh I didn't want any charges, that I wanted everything just thrown out like nothing ever happened. Haha, right? Josh was thorough, detailed, creative, exceptionally knowledgeable with the laws (AN ASSET FOR ANY CLIENT), and never in a million years did I even expect the AWESOME outcome he got for me. He is even going to file for early release of Probation to get that over in the 6 months, as well as have the records sealed since adjudication withheld. I honestly can't say enough good about this attorney and how he really did save me from what could have ruined me personally & professionally. Now, after I do the probation and we go back, it will be as though nothing ever happened which is just as good as everything thrown out to me. He is VERY reasonable with his costs which is usually unheard of with attorneys, again, Joshua is just different. He has very rare qualities not usually seen in criminal attorneys. I will and would recommend this attorney, Joshua Rydell, to any friend or family member should they ever need representation with the utmost confidence they would receive the ABSOLUTE BEST legal representation possible!! He is truly the best and I thank the good Lord for helping me find my way to Joshua for help. I hope my review helps anyone needing a good attorney find their way to Joshua Rydell as he is by far the BEST CHOICE in criminal defense!!! THANK YOU AGAIN JOSH for Everythint!!!

Taylor and the rest of the team at May Potenza Baran & Gillespie were absolutely great to work with! They helped us with the sale of a business and lease negotiations. Throughout the process they listened to what we had to say and provided guidance on matters we were unfamiliar with. We always felt they represented our best interests and they never pushed us to accept terms from the other party we weren't comfortable with. Having them in our corner helped relieve some of the burden of an otherwise very stressful process. They were also quick to jump in at the last minute and take over a matter they hadn't previously been involved with to help get the deals done. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. They are professional, friendly, and well-qualified!

My husband and I were introduced to Martin Law through a family referral and as a result we met and began working with Maria Miller (Trafton). Our immigration case was incredibly complicated, and Maria was always willing to talk through our options. Going it alone was not a possibility, and my husband and I were grateful to have Maria help guide us. With different angles to consider, and because I’m an individual that likes to understand things step by step, Maria was always willing to break things down for us. Because our case was so complex, it was easy to feel overwhelmed. However, following many different hurdles and law changes, and nearly 5 years of waiting, my husband now has his US permanent residency. Maria was essential in gaining this. She encouraged us to have patience and empathized with us when things were at a standstill. She was thorough through each petition or waiver. She read each statement and gave ideas of how to make it better. She was willing to go the extra mile. Beyond this, she is responsive, very responsive. If I had a question, I knew I could ask her and get my answer. Knowing we had her in on our side gave us both peace of mind. As mentioned, our case was complicated and required incredible attention to detail, and Maria never missed a beat. During and since the end of our lengthy immigration process, we’ve referred friends and family to Maria, and we’ll continue to do so. The immigration system can at times resemble a maze and having Maria navigate as your lawyer will be to your advantage. We highly recommend Maria Miller for your immigration needs.

Eric Long assisted myself and two other students in a student affairs case with my university. Myself and two other close friends who attend the same university were accused of breaking a COVID-19 safety agreement. Eric was always within reach over the phone during the case and was always very quick to find answers for any questions we had. Eric put my mind at ease in a time when I was very frustrated and panicked. The work that Eric put in and the truth that he was able to find was very successful in dropping all accusations and allegations that were mounted against myself and other students in the eyes of the university officials conducting the investigation.

His experience is very comforting in helping understand what to expect, etc., as sometimes legal cases, period can be nerve racking. He patiently stuck by my side through a very long 19 month case (Covid delays at the court, and other things out of our control.)

My son was innocent, accused by someone with a vendetta I guess, for burglary of a motor vehicle. His patience over a 2 year period finally paid off and the case was dismissed. He is reasonably priced and listens to what you say. He has defended me in the past for my divorce so I used him once again and I don’t regret it!

I’ve known Glen Fahl for about 10 years now he’s helped me with legal advice and representation dealing with my business on many occasions. He’s one of the best lawyers I’ve ever dealt with. One of the few that you can actually call and talk to right away vs having to constantly leave messages and wait to get back with. Great lawyer and very knowledgeable about the law.

Working with Glenn for the past few months has been nothing short of amazing. Initially, I was not getting the right counsel from my previous lawyer, he wasted so much time and my case was not going in the right direction, but when I found Glenn, he pointed me in the right direction. I felt like I was dealing with a family with how much dedication he showed to my case. Thank you very much Glenn for your services and for pursuing the appropriate course of action.

Great and smart attorney. He will fight hard for your case. If there is any small error in your report or procedure he will find it. After a year of fighting my case he got it thrown out. 99% of attorney's take your money and it will be VERY HARD to get a hold of them. You literally get responses from him in minutes (during business hours, i never tried calling him in the middle of the night.) I can guarantee he will fight hard for you.

When we came to Carlos A. Ramos, the case had already been to court several times, and our old Attorney, just wasn’t giving us any positive answers, we literally were doing all the work, But Carlos was referred to us by a friend and let me tell you, from the very first phone call we made, he took the lead! He had us come in that very same day, offered direct answers to ALL of our questions, and every question was answered and done in a way we would be able to understand, he truly took care of us! As Mothers, our Children are our hearts and soul, and he understood this and was dealing with someone’s Son , who’s life could be altered, who had rights!! This was a case that had gone on for over two years!! Carlos never seemed exhausted or concerned that it would not turn out the way it did! We settled before going to trial! Now my Son can continue to live a righteous life and continue to hold his head up high! We all have rights!! But sometimes we need an excellent Attorney to handle them and offer counseling of how to go about it! Carlos A Ramos is definitely the Best Criminal Defense Attorney, to have at anyone’s defense!! We truly can not say one negative thing that we experienced with this knowledgeable Attorney!! GO Carlos A. Ramos!! ( even the courtroom felt peaceful on that day of completion of this long tiring journey ) Thanks to Carlos! Sincerely, Sheila

The Law Office of Ryan J. Villa LLC was extremely helpful in ensuring a successful resolution to my case. All the interactions I had with Ryan and the members of his team were professional, informative, timely, and comforting. Ryan both listened to what I wanted and provided excellent advice, helping me feel confident in the process, strategy, and its implementation. I highly recommend this law firm without reservation.

Based upon experiences with more than two dozen attorneys over the past 45 years, I would rank this law firm among the best. I hired them for a criminal defense case after being falsely accused of a felony by the police. Before hiring this firm, there were six other firms that did not want to take the case because I wanted to file a civil lawsuit against the police. This firm was recommended by a lawyer from an estate planning law firm. My attorneys, (Richelle and Daniel), got the criminal charge dropped almost immediately, then proceeded to the civil complaint against the police, which is still active. They are straight shooters -- no hype or sugar coating. They responded promptly to emails and took time to explain things. The billing statement included no padding of the bill whatsoever. I would definitely recommend this firm without hesitation.

Shaun has to be the best attorney serving the Genesee County area. I have used his services on a few occasions over the years, with great outcomes. He has always been professional, and to the point. Shaun is very responsive to calls and emails, making himself available to answer any and all of the questions I had. He is one of the few attorneys who will actually call you back personally, and in a timely manner. When I was worried the worst was going to happen, he was able to set my mind at ease. If you are in need of a great attorney for criminal or traffic infractions, he should be your first call. Shaun is extremely efficient, knowledge, and well respected by the prosecutors and judges, in the area, exactly what you need in an attorney. Hopefully no more tickets for me, but if it happens, guess who I’m calling. Thank you Shaun!

I had ran a red light while drunk and smashed into a truck, flipping it over(somehow no one was injured). My blood work came back as super drunk. Although this was my first offense Shaun was able to get me off with 18 months probation, some fines and a madd class. Saved me from going to jail or prison. Forever grateful

As someone who has never been in trouble with the law, I was so scared and a complete nervous wreck searching for an attorney. When I consulted with Shaun Marks, that was the first thing that set him apart from other attorneys. He put my mind at ease and I could tell he truly cared about helping me. I don't think I would've recieved that kind of dedication to my case from anyone else. I felt he was the right attorney to hire and after my case was dismissed, I was so thankful I chose him.

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.
