Sean Harrell is an extraordinary criminal defense attorney. I had another lawyer handling my felony case for 9 months, and I was going to trial with her. The dates had all been set. It was terrifying. I was innocent and knew I had not received proper representation. I was referred to Sean by Bob P., who had been an Assistant DA. Sean was able to take my case, he jumped right in, and at the first hearing, he asked to start the case over. The judge agreed. Within 3 months, Sean was able to discuss the case with the DA, point out some major problems with their case, and they came to an agreement, there was no reasonable likelihood of success at trial—and the case was dismissed. DISMISSED!! The best news I had received in quite a while!! I am thankful for Sean Harrell. He is honest, hard working, professional, reliable, and does his job very well. Sean made ALL the difference in my case. All the evidence, the DA, the judge, all the same. Sean got my freedom back for me. I am eternally grateful for that. And I must mention his staff, all the people working with him — who are always there, almost always able to get in touch with him, friendly and competent. Highly recommend!! June

I was referred to Sean when I was charged with leaving the scene of an accident when no accident had occurred at all. The charges were serious and I was pretty nervous about the whole thing. Sean was able to get all of the charges dismissed except for a minor one which was not worth contesting. Sean was very thorough as he thought through every way that the DA might try to prove the charges were correct, but in the end was able to convince the DA that the accident had, in fact, never happened. Sean was also kind, caring, and even sometimes funny, :) His initial fee was far more reasonable than another attorney I had contacted. If you want someone who does his job well and does all that is possible to represent you well, I encourage you to contact Sean. If I ever have a need to use legal services in his area again, (God Forbid), I would contact Sean without hesitation.

BLUF: Jennifer is a top-notch professional (BADASS) with extensive knowledge, affordability, and professionalism. ***Three different individuals recommended Jennifer*** What a refreshing experience it was to speak with a professional regarding my legal matters. Jennifer is an exceptional asset to have on your legal team if winning is your goal. If you have any questions concerning liability or risk, she will explain them to you until she is exhausted. Throughout my case, Jennifer is very passionate about reaching a settlement and chooses not to waste the court's time. There is no doubt that she is extremely knowledgeable about Texas Law and will be able to assist the opposing counsel with each and every law, regulation, and code.

Had about half a dozen free consultations before I reached Mr. Saleh, and the difference in the clarity provided between other attorneys' offices and Mr. Saleh is comparable to a difference between flying economy and flying first class. I not only found detailed and relevant answers to all of the questions that I had personally; but, I was also given detailed and relevant information that provided complete understanding of the legal framework that I am operating in, which is something that only real experience and real mastery of the art can deliver. Unlike quite a few other attorney offices that I have contacted that either simply told me to call them back when I am actually charged or gave me cursory and incomplete explanations given by assistants or paralegals (sometimes it was literally hard to hear what they were saying because of poor phone call quality on the other end), Mr. Saleh answered my phone call personally and gave me an ample amount of time to explain ALL of the details of my situation in a highly professional manner. He not only speaks with authority and full weight of real-world experience, but he also knows when to allow you to say what you have to say. Communication flows effortlessly both ways, uncovering the legal reality of the situation that you find yourself in with complete and perfect clarity. Having difficulties in life is natural, and all of us can find ourselves in difficult situations due to our own actions or actions of those around us. I am not afraid of or confused by difficulties. However, as someone who works a full-time job while building a business during my personal time—having almost no real time off apart from one or two hours a day max that I carve out for myself and my loved ones—I value clarity and straightforwardness above everything else. There is nothing worse than having a cloud of confusion hanging above your head while focusing on critical activity. It can be paralyzing and disorienting, and it can kill much needed momentum, wasting days, weeks, and even months. After my free consultation with Mr. Saleh, I can tangibly feel the confusion evaporate, allowing me to continue building the life of my dreams even though I am facing a difficult situation at no fault of my own. Knowing that Mr. Saleh is only a phone call away provides me with not just the confidence in that I will be able to overcome these difficulties, but also with the peace of mind to continue on building my business and investing in my development without any loss of momentum during this otherwise uneasy time. It is going to sound cliche, but if I could give more than five stars, I would. Being a master in my own fields of activity, I recognize a master when I meet one. Considering my situation, I am truly fortunate to have someone like Mr. Saleh on my side.

TL:DR Hire this man for unmatched representation. He will give you a fighting chance and a direction forward during the hardest moments in your life. Arya has saved my husband's life twice, and did so with tenacity, straight shooting, and the right amount of kindness and compassion. Most recently, my husband was wrongfully accused of a crime and the state was using weak evidence to scare him into a plea deal. Arya remained steadfast throughout the whole ordeal, attacking this case from every angle. He explained all the complex legalese to us clearly and was honest at every turn. He's confident but realistic and made sure my husband clearly knew his rights. He was a great advisor but kept my husband in the driver's seat, making sure he was making informed decisions. Before our most recent ordeal, my husband was in the throws of active alcoholism which got him in trouble. He was frank with my husband about his behavior and set him up with a great rehab and other tools to pursue sobriety. My husband is now almost five years sober, built himself a great career, and is an upstanding husband, son, and friend. This man has had such a positive influence in my life and in our family's life. He is a rock, a cunning pitbull in a courtroom, and just a truly good person. Can't thank him enough.

Mr. Arya Saleh is an outstanding criminal defense lawyer. His professionalism and integrity are above reproach. This is the second time our family has needed his legal services and we knew that we could trust him as our advocate. His knowledge of both prosecution and defense procedures enables him to work tirelessly on behalf of his clients. He is attentive to detail and skilled in researching the fine points of case law to ensure he can prepare a thorough and well-designed defense for those he represents. While many lawyers possess these attributes, Mr. Saleh takes a holistic approach to how he advocates on behalf of his clients, considering both the overall needs of individuals and their family. He recognizes the importance of good representation, because he knows that he holds a person’s life in his hands. Throughout the entire time he works with his clients, he explains the court procedures and options which help clients make informed decisions. He is always direct about sharing the facts and considerations facing the clients. When additional resources and expertise are needed, he takes the time to identify those that are the most valuable in building a solid defense case. Even more important, he is willing to fight for the best outcome in court. We highly recommend him as the best of the best criminal defense lawyers.

The outcome of my case was so favorable it’s almost as if she had scripted it! Attorney Sei-Hee Arii has a 360 degree bird’s eye view of the legal system and the courtroom.I was facing very serious charges with almost certain jail time if convicted. I initially thought of defending myself but my family compelled me to seek council. I reached out to Attorney Arii the day before my 1st trial date (don’t be like me, make contact now) and requested her counsel. She was extremely understanding, honest about the situation and the possible outcomes but above all VERY RESPONSIVE! I immediately knew I was in good hands and could trust her. Best decision I’ve ever made! In court she laid out a multi-point strategy that accounted for every possible scenario the prosecutor or judge could present and sure enough it went as she planned. During court I witnessed someone with an almost identical case as mine (yet with a better driving record) be found guilty and sentenced to jail time, however Miss Arii got ALL of my charges DISMISSED! I went home a free man! I am extremely grateful! Miss Arii’s great reviews are one of the reasons I chose her as counsel and I’m proud to now add my own testimony of how effective, resourceful and dedicated she is as a lawyer. Thank you Attorney Arii!

Attorney Feraizi is an exceptional attorney in several ways. He is extremely articulate, charismatic and likable, and most importantly he not only understands the law and the application of it better than other attorneys, but he has a creative and highly insightful skillset that is far beyond most attorneys. Mr. Feraizi should be an attorney expert on television or working for a large firm at $500.00/hour but he is too busy helping others and contributing to community by helping individuals who would normally have often weak representation. He is rare in how he puts helping others ahead of his own ego and benefits often. It is also likli that a large firm would fear hiring Mr. Feraizi because he would be a threat to the upper management and moving to the top and in addition to this he would do what was right for clients and put office politics a very distant second. All attorneys and businesses have a few upset customers and in that I would like to put the few negative reviews that this fine attorney has had. Attorney Feraizi has inevitably dealt with more than a few difficul clients that don't understand the law or the practical considerations that must be done in order to get to a successful result. Often customers or clients of his didn't want to accept the incredible difficulty of their case, and we all know people who will not hear the facts and will only believe their own rose-colored views of their situation or predicament that they are in. In my case attorney Feraizi got a good result and fought for me but I did feel that he should have put on the court record the unusual circumstances of my case wherein I called someone a f....ng retard for saying outrageous things about US soldiers and a store or Target that I have a 1.2 Billion form 211 IRS complaint against that looked at years of purchases by me and determined that one of my self scan purchases was done incorrectly wherein I double scanned a less expensive item and not the more expensive one and stole under 100 from the store. An outrageous action by store that looked at years of purchases and had alterior motives, and I wanted on court record for future civil suit. However Attorney Feraizi did the right thing and only focused on his required job and getting me the best results in case, which he did and is not responsible for these extraneous matters unrelated and hence I give him a 5/5 or 100% but thought of only giving him a 4 earlier, but changed mind. I would also like to address the clients who claimed that attorney Feraizi has a temper and is short tempered. This is nonsense as because his mind burns on a higher octane, and he is in phenomenal physical shape he has mental and physical energy that few has and is assertive and uncompromising in stating the facts as they are. He does what is right and isn't concerned about acceding trends such as claiming a man who is assertive is mansplaining or expecting people to conform to ridiculous trends. In fact I was a victim of this absurdity in having the first amendment pi....ed on and getting charged for making a statement or an opinion about someone who made a disparaging comment. Attorney Feraizi is not short tempered andis in fact much cooler, collected, and focused that other attorneys who will make decisions based upon like or dislike of a client or how they feel during a specific time. Attorney Feraizi has unrivaled, focused, and assertive discipline that doesn't change or waver and is single focused on what is best for his clients. Highly recommend!!

I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Atty Jonathan Molleur. At first, I called a different attorney who contacted Atty Molleur. Within one day I received a call from him and was so relieved. From the moment I heard his voice I knew he was the attorney for me. He listened to me, through my tears, for about an hour and showed me so much empathy and kindness to my situation. He did not interrupt me at all. It was a very difficult time for me since I was dealing with family members so it was a very personal matter. So needless to say, I was very upset. When I heard that he would take my case, I felt relieved, since he was known as one of the top lawyers in this field of tenant law. From day one, our very first conversation, I knew that we had a chance at winning this thing, and fortunately for myself, this proved to be true. I was not prepared for the kindness and consideration that I received from him. It was not all business and he understood this was something more personal. This made me feel secure and I knew he would have my best interest at heart. With his expertise and knowledge, I saw the light of day. Justice would be served. His dedication, his attention to detail, and diligence made this all possible. He believed in me and my situation, and did not leave my side, but remained steadfast through it all, even when it did not look promising. When I called him or sent an email, he ALWAYS returned my calls. I never had to worry. He calmed me down every time we spoke. We were a team! In the end, it all worked out well. I cannot thank him enough, not only being my lawyer, but also my friend through this. He sincerely cared about my health and wellbeing. He turned into my friend who truly cared about me. There were times when he was my therapist where he just listened to me and hearing him say over and over, “That things will be OK” took all my anxiety away. I highly recommend Atty Molleur to assist you with all your tenant needs. I thank God for him every day!

Attorney Molleur was always a pleasure to work with when I had a case where my landlords were breaking Massachusetts landlord law. He was extremely communicative, easy to reach, always responsive, and we were easily able to retrieve a settlement that was highly in our favor. I highly recommend him as an attorney to anyone who especially needs help and may feel like they have no one to turn to due to financial constraints - he represented us so well and talked us through every step of fees and costs so that we were never afraid of not being able to get things resolved. Thank you so much!

There are a lot of men in Louisiana that believe that the courts favor the women. I believed that exact same thing. I did a ton of research looking for the perfect lawyer to represent me for my divorce. While doing my research I came across the saying "Have you ever tried to argue with a woman?". This immediately caught my attention, because what man hasn't. Let me tell you, this is not a woman that you want to go up against. She does not mess around when it comes to children, custody and divorce. There was always contact throughout the entire process with the entire team. They didn't feed me any lines and gave me realistic expectations of what would happen. I was awarded sole custody in Louisiana! I never thought that would happen. I know that every man out there has that fear of the state favoring women. I am proof that isn't true anymore. I would highly recommend speaking to Ms. Thompson if you are in this situation. I would like to thank Ms. Thompson, Mr. Bursavich, Mr. Patterson and the amazing team they have for the time and effort they put into my case. If there is any time that they need me to step in personally to tell my story at their office, I will be more than willing to come in and do so. I would like to thank them again have done and are continuing to do.

After trying to flee from someone threatening to kill me and my loved ones in my truck at what was supposed to be a family birthday party, I was wrongfully arrested for a DUII. I spoke with several firms and then I found Casey Baxter with Baxter Law online and saw the reviews so I decided to give them a call for a consultation. Immediately I could tell his attitude towards my case was what I was looking for. All of the other firms I talked to suggested diversion because it was “less risky”. I didn’t want that on my record if I was able to defend it. Well when I talked to Casey he didn’t constantly tell me how great he was like the other firms. He gave me his (very qualified)credentials and actually gave me the process of how he would go about this case and I could tell he wasn’t afraid to defend my case. Choosing him to be my lawyer was the best decision I could’ve made. He spoke with the DA on my case and was able to get the whole thing dismissed before my court date. This firm knows the law and isn’t afraid to fight for you. If you go with them you can feel taken care of. I will 100% recommend Casey and Baxter Law.

100 percent. That's how much every person in the building gave. They made me feel like I was the only client. From the receptionist, to Casey himself, I felt that they truly cared and could tell that I was not just a client but that I actually mattered. The saying goes that you get for what you pay for, and not only did I get the best legal representation, I got so much more; people who actually care. Not only would I recommend them to anyone i cared about, if I ever need future assistance in a matter I know I can count on Casey and the entire Baxter law team to help.

You never know what will come up, and you may need a lawyer to talk to; Casey’s firm will help you no matter the time of day. I highly recommend Baxter Law; he has lots of experience, and if he doesn’t have expertise in a specific area, he will point you to a lawyer who can help.

If you get a traffic ticket in Maryland this is the lawyer you want. I talked to several firms before choosing who to hire and Ben got my business because of the specifics he knew about the judge in my case, not to mention the cop who pulled me over. He's dedicated to his craft and he will help you get the outcome you want.

James was my brother's lawyer and created his will and Trust. He was the lawyer/executor, I was the Trustee. When my brother died we worked together to fulfill the will and Trust directions. One account did not make it into the Trust and so we had to go to probate court for that. This was mostly during Covid so court dates, appointments, etc., proved challenging. Throughout the entire process James was throrough, highly communicative, proactive and responsive. He was also compasssionate and "human". James' combnation of skill, communication and compassion allows me, without hesitation, to highly and enthusiastically recommend James Phan.

James represented us in a dispute with our home builder and a home warranty escalation process. He was very thorough and clearly understood our side of the issue. He was thoughtful in his approach to our case and we felt that James represented us well and did everything within his power to help us through our situation. We would definitely hire him again.

Mrs. Ida Henley helped me out tremendously after my wreck dealing with the legal side. Before having her as my attorney I was dealing with recovering from my car accident and doctors appointment, but I was also stressing about getting the money I deserved to be able to heal and recover from my accident. She made it incredibly easy and took a huge weight off my shoulders. I didn’t have to worry about a thing! She was on top of everything from contacting the insurance companies to contacting to other driver’s attorney. She handled everything so fast and stayed on top of getting me settled. She made sure to try every avenue before settling against the other driver’s attorney. I’m truly grateful to have had her during these hard times. She was everything I needed from an attorney and more!

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.
