Kristine is hands down the best attorney I've worked with. Unlike other lawyers I've dealt with, Kristine really cares. She's not just doing a job; she puts her heart into it, and it shows. It's like she's tackling the case as if it were her own problem, paying attention to every little detail and nailing the argument. What really sets Kristine apart is how she combines her sharp mind with genuine kindness. She's super smart and on top of things, but also really takes the time to understand and accommodate your needs. It’s not every day you come across an attorney who actually takes a special interest in your case like it's something personal to them. Kristine's attention to detail was exemplary. She meticulously crafted the case, ensuring every aspect was thoroughly considered and eloquently presented. This level of dedication was not just limited to the legal strategy but extended to her interactions with me. Kristine's intelligence and caring nature shone through as she guided me through every step, accommodating my needs and paying special attention to the nuances of my situation. Her ability to connect on a human level, paired with her professional expertise, made my legal journey less daunting. It’s really rare to find an attorney who combines such personal warmth with professional competence. Kristine’s work not only yielded positive outcomes but also provided a sense of comfort and trust during the process. If you need someone who's not just all about the law but also about the people, Kristine's your go-to. she stands out as the best, a true gem in the legal profession. I'd recommend her in a heartbeat. She's more than just a lawyer; she's a real person who gets it, and that made all the difference for me.

Her dedication to you will be way beyond and above expectation. I was absolutely please and satisfied with my case results with her. No one I would of wanted on my side!

Katie is by far THE BEST attorney I have ever seen at work. She was very professional as well as always available and more than personable and willing to help. This was a very minor case compared to what she is used to handling and she was beyond accepting and affordable. Wish I would have hired her for the original case and probably would have never had to worry further. Always very quick to reply and explained every scenario. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Carlos is an excellent attorney. He actually cares for his client and has the knowledge and skills to actually fight for them. I work in the courthouse and see defense counsel sell out their client daily to be friendly with the prosecution or because they are just lazy. Carlos is not one of those. Every defendant deserves Carlos or someone like him to represent them.

Facing serious charges from the worst night of my life. Never dealt with criminal justice system, let alone Chickasaw Nation that just started doing significant amount of cases. Mr. Henry was a Chickasaw Nation court expert and seemed to know all the lawyers on both sides of the aisle and all the judges. Almost like a celebrity. We found out later that he is the Chickasaw Nation drug court defense lawyer too. He seemed very busy but kept in touch and most importantly got the felony dismissed and a wonderful no jail misdemeanor....Great Lawyering!

I can’t say enough good things about Adam Banner. He helped our family at an incredible time of need. He always answered my calls/emails. He was a listening ear when I needed one, gave good council when I asked for it, and was with me every step of the way. He knew my case in and out and got a dismissal for me and my family. He will work harder than any attorney out there. I’m sure there are a lot of good ones, but Adam has separated himself from them, in my opinion. He was upfront about the costs involved and delivered the best result we could have asked for. If you find yourself in need of an attorney, you came to the right place. Adam Banner can be trusted.

NOT GUILTY were the words I heard after jury deliberation! Adam is seasoned, sharp, quick, witty, and extremely knowledgeable! He strategically sliced and diced both the state investigating agency and the state prosecution team, while simultaneously dismantling the whole narrative that resulted in the charge against me. His words resonated with the jury! My family and I will be forever grateful for the hard work and dedication he put into my case. He wasn’t just a typical defense attorney, Adam truly cares about the jury seeing the truth and I am a free man today because of it. Thank you Adam!

I was arrested, walking back to my truck in a parking lot while driving through Utah. I spent three nights in jail, had to pay to get my truck back, and was charged with a DUI. I must have called 20 lawyers but I could tell out of the gate that Mr. Schatz knew the law and was not just trying to make me feel better. Utah/Iron County did not want to give up but thankfully Mr Schatz did not either and won my case (Totally Dismissed) I had to wear an ankle bracelet for a month and he got that taken off for a portable breathalyzer which I was on for two months then Mr. Schatz got that taken away. In all I had to appear in court via zoom around six times but never had to say a word. Everytime I heard Mr Schatz argue in court it was like I was watching a movie (he was that good and prepared) . I had asked Mr. Schatz a couple of times why don’t you tell them That I am a teacher, A father, 51 years old and I’ve never been in trouble in my life And Mr. Schatz would say every time you Utah does not care and he was right. Thankfully, Mr. Schatz cared and knows the law inside and out, Process process and procedure I thought the prosecutors had a slam dunk case against me Upon examining the videos and knowing the law like he does, Mr. Schatz was able to find enough holes to wear by the last day in court the judge described the case against me as”embarrassing”. In all, it took 12 months, but thankfully, Mr. Schatz never gave up, Never asked for more money for all the work he was doing, And in the end, the case was dismissed and is now going to be expunged. I never lost my license and never lost my job . I can’t recommend Mr. Schatz enough .

I retained Josh Egan at Schatz and Anderson to handle what I considered to be a very challenging DUI and chemical refusal case. I feel incredibly fortunate having chosen him to guide and advise me through the maze of intricacies of DUI law in Utah. His knowledge of law and experience implementing gives him a contagious confidence which helped me through the tough time of being in limbo waiting for my time in court. He succeeded in my Driver’s License Division hearing which resulted in me receiving a refund in addition to keeping my class A Commercial Drivers License. His professionalism and assertive nature worked to my benefit with the DLD hearing. This successful outcome set the tone for my criminal proceedings. He not only cared about my case but was willing to chat about the anguish that comes with the uncertainty of losing my CDL and potentially my job. His passion for this line of work is demonstrated by his work ethic. You cannot go wrong choosing Josh to represent you. He and his team worked promptly with me throughout the process. You pay for what you get. In my case it was certainly worth it. If you need counsel for a DUI matter, I highly recommend Josh!

It is very hard for us financially and I explained this along with our other family issues to Ben and he went above and beyond trying to calm me down and work out a payment plan with me. I really appreciate everything you have done for my husband and myself. Ben came through with his promise and worked out a deal were my husband would only serve 30 days in jail with no probation.

Crawford and Boyle were recommended to me by a lawyer friend who did not practice the type of law I needed. They are knowledgeable, well connected in the community and have a great report with the clients. They had a fair price for what I needed done and gave me several options on how to pay. They were quick on their side with getting the correct forms filed and the right hearings set up. The county solicitor on the other hand was very slow and the entire process took over 2 years to be resolved. Despite the extended time to resolve my case, David Boyle was very thorough in keeping me informed and up to date. He made me feel confident that their plan to have my charges dismissed would be the inevitable outcome and he was right.

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

I can’t say enough about Attorney Barton. When I needed HELP for my Son, I contacted 35 Attorneys and No One would Assist Me without at Least $3500 Down. Attorney Barton was the ONLY Attorney that Listen/Assisted me FREE for over 3 Months, with Legal Knowledge and Advice, not even Knowing or Caring whether he’d be the one We Hire. Attorney Barton shows Compassion and Empathy. My Son is Doing Great, with a Soon to be Clean Record.

Devika is an amazing person in general.. The way she cared for me, not only as a client, but as a woman wanting my independence, she made me feel so understood and comfortable talking to her.

We sincerely want to thank God Almighty for this successful journey. But thanks to Devika Moonasar for the professionality in the way our case was been handled. She is the best Attorney anyone can use for immigration case. We appreciate Devika for this outstanding result in 6 months after submission. She did a tremendous job reassuring us through the process, that we were confident of a positive outcome even without meeting her in person. The first time my husband spoke to her, he knew she was the right person for us. We will recommend her to anyone 100%. The experience has been 5 star all the way. She is truly a professional. Thank you Devika.

Devika was a pleasure to work with. She made the process of filing so easy and was always available to answer any questions. My wife and I had no worries because we had Moonlaw offices providing us support and guidance at every step. Moreover, Devika is incredibly friendly and approachable, making it easy to ask any questions. She is fantastic and there could have been no one better to help us with this process! I recommend her wholeheartedly.

I retained Alan some years ago on a protection order issue, and more recently, on a contempt issue. Alan’s experience, intelligence, and ability around a courtroom really shined; it was apparent that I should’ve hired him when my legal issues first started around 2019. If you make the correct decision to hire Alan, for any need, he will speak to you plainly on the court process in a way that is understandable and thorough. I have also consulted with Alan on numerous smaller issues and his guidance has always been spot on. Great lawyer and good man to have in your corner.

Alan is an amazing lawyer. He not only helped me, but also assisted my grandfather. He responds to emails extremely quick and you can tell he cares about his clients. Alan goes above and beyond what is asked of him and my expectations of a lawyer. I could not be more grateful of the services and assistance he provided to me. He has protected my future and I can not thank him enough. I highly recommend Alan and will use him in the future if an issue ever arises.

This was not something that I take lightly at all, and Davis and Kimberly were constantly there slowly walking me through every detail and answering every question that was necessary. They made this horrific process so easy for me by being the best at their job and it really showed. They never stopped fighting for me and working around the clock to support me, and for that I am forever grateful. They both care deeply for all of their clients and the compassion they showed to me truly was a light in an extremely dark time! 1000% would recommend to anyone who asks for a defense attorney!!

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.
