I was involved in an accident. I went to Atty. Todd John's to handle my case. He dedicated his time and knowledge and he made me feel like I was always a top client. He is very down to earth and easy to talk to. When it comes time to fight for you he will make sure Justice is served.

I went to see Todd for a MVA that I was in back in 2021. I lost a lot of time and money from my injuries that required major surgery. Todd made the process very tolerable. I gave him the information he needed and he did all the rest. He was always very responsive, answered all my questions in a reasonable amount of time and always kept me informed throughout the whole process. His office staff were also very kind and very helpful. I never had to worry about my case because he handled everything quickly and professionally. I would recommend Todd for any personal injury case anytime. Thank you so much Todd

Attorney John was simply fantastic with my personal injury case. His professionalism, knowledge of the industry and health care system was second to none. He was caring and sensitive to my needs and made it a pleasure dealing wlith him. His follow-thru was great and I was notified constantly of the status of my case. He kept in touch on a regular basis with updates, and responded to my calls or emails in most cases on the same day.

Marvin Gold and his son Travis are excellent attorneys. I received personalized, honest representation throughout my case. Marvin was always a phone call, text, or email away if I had a question or to update me at any time. He worked tirelessly to defend me and ultimately won a favorable outcome. I highly recommend Gold and Gold, you will be very satisfied with the professional attention you will receive!

A few days before Christmas my son was served a PFA order regarding custody of his four year old daughter. With short notice Marvin and his son Travis represented my son at our local District Court hearing and his meeting at Bucks County Court in Doylestown, Pa. Travis Gold helped my son avoid a possible brief stay at the County Jail, and Marvin Gold helped my son achieve want he wanted at the PFA hearing. Both Marvin and Travis worked with us to have a strategy in time for both meetings that were successful and gave my son the results he wanted. The fee was very reasonable.

Forrest has been our entire family attorney for over 25 years. We have used his services for home closings, probate of wills, estate set up, and other various legal affairs. He is very reasonable and always explains things in layman’s terms. I’d recommend Forrest to anyone seeking consultation on a wide array of legal situations.

I just stumbled across this website and read the reviews about Walter Todd. All the good things you read in these reviews are true. He never represented me but I worked for him for several years and he is truly a wonderful attorney. He's ethical, has many years of experience and works very hard for his clients. He genuinely cares about his clients getting the best possible legal representation and puts in a lot of time on every case. And he's a super-nice guy. In all of Marion County, you can't do better than Walter Todd.

I was recently charged with a DUI in Maryland.
My questions and concerns were heightened even more, as I am an out of state resident (WV), and did not know what to do.
Mr. Phillips is excellent. I was able to pay a $300 fine and complete online courses, thus, not serving anytime in jail. I would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation.
All around professional, caring, accessible and informative.

After being charged with a boating under the influence charge with a .07 breathalyzer reading, I was told by the magistrate I could face potential jail time. Hiring Arnie was the best thing I could have ever done! He worked tirelessly to find issues with the DNR's statement, the sobriety test results and the overall charges. Ultimately all charges were dropped! He truly works hard for his clients. I wouldn't recommend anyone else!

Tim was a great representative throughout my whole trial. He was there whenever my family or myself had questions or whenever we had any doubts. This was my first (and last) offense which means I was very lost when figuring out what exactly I had gotten myself into. Tim was very helpful in making me understand exactly what was expected of me in court and when filling out paperwork for my case. With his help I got into ARD, something I really thank him for as I had to go through reconsideration after my case was denied at first. He made sure to keep in contact with everyone who could possibly help me and was very quick at answering and sending me emails regarding updates on my case. Overall, I had a very pleasant experience with him and he made this process feel easier than what I had expected.

I was facing 7 year felony drug distribution and possession charges. Thanks to Jeremy, I wound up with misdemeanor possession and 6 months probation. It was my first arrest and I was terrified. Jeremy advocated for me every step of the way. He got my possessions out of impound, established rapport with the troopers and DA, enlisted the help of a drug expert, and even sat with me in the probation office to ensure I got the best possible terms. Fantastic work Mr Alva. Worth every penny!

With today’s society fighting racially injustice cases where police are involved and escalating situations, while adding charges that benefit their unlawful arrest, this lawyer was able to present my case with only the facts and without a doubt my charges were completely withdrew over a 1-2 month span. This was a fight that Jeremy took on with his team and sent a powerful message to the police that equality matters, truth matters! THANKS JEREMY. Without major exaggeration you will always get my service as well as my recommendation. Thanks for helping me keep my freedom!

Julia Gitelman is an outstanding lawyer and a fierce advocate, who will fight for you in order to sort through and resolve complicated criminal allegations made against you. When you face bewildering criminal accusations and confusing legal jargon, Julia Gilelman can be counted on to know the law and skillfully untangle and defeat the claims being made against you. She is bright, clear-eyed, personable and down to earth . In my case, she professionally engaged the opposition in and out of court without alienating them, holding the state and the judge accountable without appearing wrongly contentious. In court, she is prepared, tenacious, confident, able to think strategically on her feet while fighting off the opposition as she relentlessly advances her case. Best of all, she is a good person with a big heart, compassionate, extraordinarily hardworking and attentive to her clients, willing at any time of the day to answer a client ‘s calls. If you need a lawyer like I did, I can recommend her with enthusiasm and without any reservations. She is a credit to her profession and even a better person to be on your side in trouble and to call a friend.

She is honest, available, hardworking, upbeat and kind.
I can quite literally say, in all honesty, she saved my life.

I cannot speak highly enough about Efrem Grail's law firm. If you are looking for professionals who are dedicated to seek justice, look no further. Efrem's experience provided great resolution and satisfaction in the courtroom.
Attorney Julia Gitelman was our main point of contact. She was available for us morning, noon, and night. She was quick to respond, she was detailed, and she was dedicated to my case.
I spent a lot of time seeking the right counsel and it paid off tremendously. Trust me when I say, look no further, call this group today!

I reached out to Mr. Merwin for some legal advice regarding family planning. It was very easy to discuss my plans with him. He showed that he was attentive and caring during all of our conversations. He did a great job in reviewing the information, and conveying information to me.
Through this process, Mr. Merwin was professional, knowledgeable and detail oriented.
I will look to him for future legal consultations and services.

Mr. Merwin was wonderful to work with and got business taken care of.

Communication was always done in a timely manner and he was transparent throughout the whole process.

Johnathan Johnson stepped in to represent me in an auto accident case nearing the statute of limitations when my options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed improbable. He went straight to work during our first and only in-person meeting and employed a strategy to expedite the insurer’s response and encourage a reasonable settlement, avoiding drawn out litigation. With Mr. Johnson’s knowledge, skilful negotiations and excellent, concise communication the case was settled satisfactorily in less than seven weeks. He kept me informed of developments throughout and was responsive to my questions. I am so grateful to Mr. Johnson and would recommend him without hesitation.

Compared to a previous experience with a different firm, Jonathan was excellent at communicating every step of the way. I was not left in the dark as to the status of my case, and he reviewed each communication with me prior to submitting to the opposing party to verify accuracy and obtain my consent. Based on his previous experience with case law, he pursued an alternate angle in an attempt to obtain the best result. I knew I had a favorable advocate who was doing his best, even with a relatively small case. He was also very conscientious to not over-promise and under-deliver.

I was overcharged with 8 felonies in a case that was beyond ridiculous. I'd never been in trouble in my life and was terrified. Marc Gann was the calm in my storm.

I'm forever grateful.

I hired Rich by referral and I am so glad I did so.
His knowledge and expertise with DUII’s has given me such a peace of mind in a crazy stressful situation. He has sent me all the information I needed to help with my case and has checked in with me to see my process day to day. This is such a difficult road but knowing there is somebody with you holding your hand through this whole nightmare makes a person feel better. Rich sent me an email with all the steps to take prior to court that way I know what to expect and to be ahead of everything. I truly thank him for that.

From the moment I met Rich I was at ease, he just has a very calming and poised presence. He has the accolades to prove his worth and I’m very pleased to have him on my side. Well worth the consult!

tldr: I was fortunate to hire Rich mid-case and got the best possible legal outcome (charges dropped and expunged) combined with a DUI attorney and support-office who really helped reduce the anxiety associated with fighting the charge. Had my case gone to trial, I know Rich would have won, but I am also sure his reputation is a big part of the reason the prosecutor/police didn't go to trial.
My case was a low-blow DUII (0.06 at the station). I made aggravating mistakes by talking/lying to the police (don't ever talk to the police) and performing the field sobriety tests (a mixed bag). I had some good facts going for me, but DUII isn't a charge most police or prosecutors will let go.
A few words on DUII charges in Oregon. There is no plea bargaining, so hiring a paper pusher or negotiator won't do it. If charges are not dropped, there is only diversion or going to trial. The law is tilted to make trial difficult for the defense. Most people will have to plead guilty and the state knows this. If you want to avoid charges or go to court you need some good facts and a lawyer who is formidable and known in the courtroom for DUII trial defense. You want someone who relishes the idea of arguing your case or a case like it every day, winning, getting better, and then arguing the same points next year. This is Rich.
I had a non-specialist lawyer representing me after my arrest, but I had grown uncomfortable enough that when I was finally charged, I auditioned Rich (after reading much of his great advice on Avvo). During the initial consultation Rich gave me a preview of how he would try the case on my behalf and it was decisive and convincing. After re-discussing strategy with my original lawyer, I realized I had to switch to Rich if I wanted to fight.
The Oberdorfer Law office handled the case transfer with the utmost kindness and professionalism. Rich outlined the overall trial strategy and developed several new prongs of attack as we got closer. Rich read every long anxious treatise and theory I sent him about my case and responded quickly and firmly to put me back on track. He was experienced enough to tell me why we shouldn't litigate every detail in front of the judge and jury even when it seemed like those details should have been minor points in our favor.
Rich drove out to my town twice to represent me in court as the case moved towards trial. He drafted and consulted with me on several legal motions which he entertained filing but which we ultimately decided to reserve until trial. At all steps he included me in the decision process and treated me with respect beyond what I earned. I was not a perfect client, but I could not have dreamed of a more perfect lawyer.
The end was interesting. We thought we had a case we could win at trial and Rich had run various parts by me several times. The prosecution then scheduled a court date which the officer could not attend. This should have been embarassing for them, but there was an excuse. Then they conferred and scheduled another date with the court which the officer again said he could not attend. Rich carefully explained that we should lay low because prosecutor and police were laying the grounds for dismissing their own case with fingers pointed at each other (so as to have nobody to blame). This was exactly what happened and charges were dropped without prejudice before trial. They were never re-filed.
Would this remarkable set of events have happened without a trial lawyer of Rich's caliber and notoriety? I think the police officer and prosecutor would have found themselves able to read a calendar together.
Was Rich worth every penny I paid? Absolutely.
It was a long time to become eligible for expungement, but Rich and Rob handled it for me without additional charge.
I hope never to be in such a situation again, but I would hire Rich in a heartbeat if I was. I would recommend him for friends and family without hesitation.

With her expertise in the criminal case, was able to get it dismissed.

Lesa is best Lawyer today I have came across. first catching my case I was paying for a lawyer that didn’t do nothing for me and was just taking my money while I’m sitting in jail. & I found Lesa less within 48 Hrs of being paid she was at the court and got my Bond dropped from $175K to $30K and got me out of jail. Got out on a Ankle Monitor and she got me removed off of that early so I could work. It took some Time but a Year and few months later I stayed patient and believed in her like she told me she would do & Got my Case Dropped and dismissed. Thank you Lesa

As someone who found themselves entangled in legal proceedings, I had the fortune of being represented by Attorney Sean Simpson. From the moment I enlisted his services, Mr. Simpson demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and a commitment to excellence that exceeded my expectations.
Punctuality is a virtue often overlooked in the legal realm, yet Mr. Simpson embodied it effortlessly. He meticulously adhered to deadlines and ensured that every aspect of my case progressed seamlessly. His proactive approach to pushing along dates and expediting motions showcased his dedication to securing the best possible outcome for his clients.
What truly set Attorney Simpson apart was his tireless advocacy on my behalf. Utilizing his vast legal expertise, he leveraged every available resource to bolster my defense. From tapping into his network of esteemed colleagues to liaising with probation officials, he left no stone unturned in his pursuit of justice. His strategic maneuvering and tenacity in utilizing all available legal assets undoubtedly contributed to the favorable resolution of my case.
Communication is the cornerstone of any successful attorney-client relationship, and Mr. Simpson excelled in this regard. Throughout the entirety of my legal journey, he kept me informed and involved every step of the way. From promptly scheduling appointments to promptly addressing any concerns or queries, his unwavering commitment to keeping me informed instilled confidence and reassurance during a challenging time.
Thanks to Attorney Sean Simpson’s exceptional legal acumen and unwavering dedication, my case was ultimately dismissed and thrown out, alleviating any lingering worries and allowing me to move forward with peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Simpson to anyone in need of top-tier legal representation. With him by your side, you can rest assured that your legal matters are in the most capable hands.

Never sign without a second opinion. When my freedom was on the line, I knew I needed more than just a court-appointed lawyer. Sean Simpson became my advocate, ensuring I wasn't just another case, but a person with responsibilities and loved ones. His consistent presence at every court date, coupled with unwavering confidence, made me feel supported throughout. Instead of facing a year behind bars, Sean secured just two months of jail time, a significant reduction from the two years of probation I was initially offered. His flexible payment plan made the legal process less burdensome. Thank you, Sean R. Simpson, for your dedication and compassion.

I cannot say enough good things about Clepper Harrison & Duffy PLLC. From start to finish, I experienced the upmost professionalism and compassion. I ended every interaction with confidence and certainty. At the end of every call, Chanda and I both had clear expectations on what to do next--I had my tasks, she had hers, and every time we followed up, we were on the same page. She and her team are highly prepared, proficient, prompt, and consistent. I appreciated that the billing information was explained so well that I never felt like I had to wonder how much things were going to cost. I was billed on the 1st and the 15th of every month, and I personally loved that consistency. Although I have never worked with attorneys before, my personal opinion was that their fees were extremely fair and honest. Each bill had a running record of every item they completed, with times, dates, and explanations. I loved their practicality of providing phone calls and zoom calls, rather than meeting in person. My whole divorce was handled over phone calls/zooms and I never had to step foot into a court room. Although everyone's experience is different, I was able to complete an amicable, uncontested divorce that was finalized in just over 60 days. Without the help of Chanda and her team, there is no way I would have been able to do this on my own. I was very pleased with my outcome, which is astounding that I am even writing this sentence, because I am a person who never thought divorce was an option.

I used Bob for a difficult situation that I encountered. Before we really dove deep into what happened, Bob first made sure how I was doing personally. With all the emotions that you go through, he was the constant person asking how am I doing. Bob was very honest and forthcoming on how the process works. He never over promised and was very detailed in getting the facts into the defense. I would highly recommend Bob because not only he is a great attorney… he’s an even better human.

Bob is a tour de force in the courtroom. Seeing him in action and watching him win, I’ve never been more impressed by a litigator who advocates for the people’s rights. This is a man you want in your corner.

Mr. Walton was referred to me from a dear friend and former law school classmate, it was the best lawyer recommendation I have had and I'm a practicing lawyer for over 3o years. During a very difficult time, Mr. Walton made a material difference in our family lives. Bob, was responsive, knowledgeable and emotional supportive and, most importantly, he got results! He's direct and no nonsense and clearly explained what we had to do and what should be left for him to do. The bottom line, Mr. Walton made a difference in our lives and I can highly recommend Mr. Walton for anyone needing a smart, tough, knowledgeable, trustworthy criminal defense lawyer. David

I retained Mike for my son charges. He made a mistake right after turning 18. Mike represented him and made sure that this decision will NOT follow him and impact his future. If your looking for an attorney to be upfront and honest then Mike is the right choice for you.

Mr. Marein is simply the best lawyer in Cleveland and the surrounding. He took a situation that was a mountain and turned it into a molehill for me with the confidence of a young Marlon Brando.

I would highly recommend Tom from Cesta Legal. Filing bankruptcy has to be one of the scariest financial things a person can go through. There is no way I would have gotten through it with out Tom. From start to finish he was there every step of the way. You are dealing directly with the lawyer, not a paralegal, or other admin. If you want the best help to get through one of the toughest times of your life. This is your guy!

Tom is an excellent, experienced, and compassionate attorney. He assisted me with a Chapter 13. I was humiliated and embarrassed when I went to see him for our first consult. He was so very kind and helpful and not judgmental at all. All ended well and he was there for any questions I had throughout the process. I highly recommend 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:
-
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. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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.
