Rex is not only a great Attorney, he is the right Attorney. Early on when I enlisted his services, I was nearly in panic mode. I explained the situation to him, honestly and the words he said to me calmed me right down. I knew right there I made a good decision in hiring Rex. Furthermore, as things were not progressing as fast as I hoped, he told me the progression what how things would work. After that I let him do his thing and now I am good. I would definitely, hire him again.

Rex got my speeding ticket in NY State reduced to a parking violation with 0 points towards my license! The consultation was impressively efficient, he quickly collected the most essential details about my case based on his experience, told me what I can expect and then went to work. He achieved the result I was hoping for - I definitely recommend.

Our son got a speeding ticket at a very high rate of speed. He faced the loss of his license and significant points. Rex helped us come up with a strategy that fit our needs and executed the strategy perfectly. Rex was forthright, honest and professional throughout. Ultimately we were fortunate to resolve the ticket with a fine and NO points. A fabulous result. Thank you so much for your guidance and help Rex.

Dan HANIFIN did an amazing job helping me with my case. was able to get felony reduced to a misdemeanor and that enabled me to get back into school.He made the whole process very smooth and easy to understand every step of the way. Communicated very well, always returned my calls and overall worked hard to move the process along swiftly.

I was looking at 7 points and $1700 in fines which is bad for a tractor trailer driver. My attorney Mr. Daniel Hanifin was able to negotiate on my behalf and got things down to NO POINTS and $900 in fines and was able to get me a payment plan. WOW talk about getting the job done!

Mr. Kassman is a great attorney backed by an incredible staff who work really hard. We had a horrible tenant that had to be evicted in Suffolk County and Mr. Kassman laid out a plan and executed on it flawlessly. He took dozens of phone calls, and so did his staff from us and reassured us throughout the entire process. We are really grateful. Looking forward to using him for other needs that we have because he’s full service. We got the eviction and we got our lives back and we owe it all to Mr. Kassman and has a great team. Shout out Mara - she is incredible. Highly recommend using them don’t even hesitate. This is a great choice for an attorney who is very well seasoned on long island law, courts, judges and the complex process of ny law.

If you want an attorney who is going to go to bat and secure the best possible outcome for his clients, Attorney Hinrichs is your guy. He spends time to understand your case/situation and uses his vast legal experience to navigate the legal system while proving a high-level of service and counsel. He and Tiffany are both very responsive, well-organized, and made the overall experience far less stressful than it otherwise would have been.

I was hit from behind in an auto accident in October 2021, and although insurance paid the medical bills and gave us the "value" of the totaled car (which was far below the actual replacement costs), I was still far worse off afterwards. Wayne's group helped take care of additional loss of work and negotiated a reasonable settlement. Since we were just coming out of Covid restrictions, these things went slowly, perhaps in part because the other driver was out-of-state, but Wayne & his team remained dedicated to seeing it through, and we received a better settlement than I had expected.

From the first time I spoke to Atty. Munley to present, he has been the “calm” I needed in my “storm”. I never thought I’d ever need a defense attorney and was scared of what could happen with my case. Atty. Munley was open, honest, and educational and helped me to prepare for my case while acknowledging my anxiety and treating me like a valued human. He and his paralegal are easily accessible and always get back to you quickly. The night before my hearing he called me to speak positive words and alleviate my anxiety. The outcome of my case was good, with a lesser charge (M) and the minimal amt of ARD. I am grateful for Atty Munley and would recommend him to anyone in need. On the day of my hearing , he was prepared well and after observing other attorneys, I knew I had chosen the best. I can resume my life now and move forward, thanks to Bob. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Robert Munley is not only an excellent lawyer, he actually cares about you as person. my case was very embarrasing because I was under the influence and caused harm to someone else. this resulted in a simple assault charge. he worked well with the DA and Judges to make a deal that didn't include jail time. I can't thank him enough for his time, care and concern. I am 100% certain that HE IS THE BEST AROUND! thank you again Bob for everything you did for me. I will see you in a year to see if we can get them to drop the probation early. thanks for believing in me when I didn't even believe in myself. <3

Steven Raiser’s law firm handled my case with excellence throughout the process. I had a SBA EIDL loan that got transferred to the Department of Treasury unexpectedly, and had a 30 % penalty added to the amount due, and due very quickly, which was very stressful. After talking with Steven Raiser, and working with Harry Gill who was absolutely brilliant in working with me and preparing the case, they were able to recall the case to the SBA. They were always available quickly, to address my concerns. Having dealt with some law firms before, I really appreciated this. Very grateful and appreciative to Steven Raiser and Harry Gill.

This was the second time I hired him for a dui. The first time I hired him I was charged with my 3rd dui n driving while suspended. He got it dropped down to general impairment and 4 months time served Instead of 1-5. So when I got pulled over for an alleged dui which would of been my 3rd dui I reached out to him again. I went to see him and we went over the affidavit and he was confident with the case so hired him again and went to turn myself in. (I had a warrant for violation of probation for new arrest) long story short he got all charges dismissed at my preliminary which also meant I wasn't in violation of probation. Both times I used him I couldn't of I couldn't of asked for a better outcome. He's very good at what he does and I would definitely recommend him for anything driving related. Thanks again Michael!!

I was referred to John by a co-worker, and after my initial consultation I knew he was the attorney for the job. John is a fantastic lawyer who is extremely knowledgeable, and communicated every step of the process to keep myself prepared for what was ahead. I felt that my problems were now his problems. He was able to get my kids out of the awful living situation they were in while living in another state and into my custody when the services in that state failed to ensure my kid’s safety. He was relentless when the other party thought they could weasel their way out of the situation. He is no nonsense and to the point, and you will truly believe he is out for your best interest in both the situation and financially.

I have entrusted John with the security and future of my Children and Family through three separate custody battles. I have also hired John for other area's of his practice and he has come through for me time and time again. When you are faced with situations that can be completely life changing and you are overwhelmed with the process, feel very helpless and it's such a great feeling to have someone who you can come to that will step right in front of you and take the fight head on. John is passionate about what he does, has an unsurpassed skill-set and knowledge of how to help you accomplish your goals. If you meet and explain to John what you are facing or needing he will tell you immediately if it is something within his area of practice and if he tells you he will go to work for you then you can relax knowing that you have just hired the big dog in the fight. One thing to consider when choosing an attorney is that if you go to someone else you may end up facing him on the other side and that wouldn't be good for you. If you approach John and you are not honest or are asking for something unreasonable or if you're trying to get him to bully someone he will simply tell you he can't work with you. John takes his work seriously, has a respect and reverence for the law and will work to get you the absolute best outcome he can. It's a great feeling to be able to walk out of his office and immediately have a buffer between you and whoever may be attacking you. In my life I try to avoid conflict and confrontation but John actually likes it. He will go straight to the source of the problem and turn the tables immediately. It may sound like an easy way out, but the fact is that I consider John somewhat of my "hired gun". Bottom line, you pay him money, he takes your problems and makes them his. I have several times had this experience with him and will return to him any time I find myself in need of his services.

She guided us through one of the most challenging times in our lives—my husband's first parole process. From the beginning, Susan was not only highly professional but also genuinely compassionate. She took the time to explain every step of the process to me in detail, ensuring I fully understood what was happening and what to expect. Susan didn't stop there; she also made sure to speak directly with my husband, taking the time to explain everything to him, which was incredibly important for our peace of mind. One of the things that stood out to us the most was her availability and attentiveness. Whenever I had a question or concern, she was just a phone call away, always ready to provide the information and reassurance we needed. It was clear that she was fully committed to our case. Because of Susan’s hard work, my husband not only made it through his first parole but also got into a program that is helping him prepare for his release, which will happen soon. This has given our family a second chance—our two babies will have their dad back in their lives much sooner than we had hoped. Additionally, Susan offered flexible payment options, which made it possible for us to afford her exceptional services without added financial stress. We are forever grateful to her for helping us through this difficult time and for giving our family the hope of being together again.

I retained the services of Susan Ashley to assist a friend who is currently in TDCJ. On the initial consultation I was advised of the process, cost, procedure to hire and exactly how to proceed. The inmate was contacted promptly and received written information in a timely manner. I also received information and was kept advised of the proceedings which Susan Ashley could ethically complete. The person represented in this case was granted parole on the first review., which was an excellent result considering four sentences were being served.. very pleased with the work performed

TLDR: Mehdi is a smart, attentive, and available lawyer. Will always get back to you, will fight for you for real, and is ACTUALLY affordable (honestly you’re getting way more than your monies worth, he deserves more than what he asks for) I must have called 10 or 15 (literally) Lawyers before I came across Mehdi and he was THE ONLY one that actually talked to me like a normal person. He explained to me what cases like mine have looked like, he clearly broke down for me everything I needed and the game plan and genuinely calmed me down (multiple times lol). He always kept me informed, whenever I called him or texted him he called me back & answered all my questions. He hounded the ADA on my case making sure they looked at it with the same importance as their other cases. Most importantly I could afford him. Not a single lawyer I called before him quoted me less thank almost 3 months worth of my rent (90% sure you are on the same boat if you’re reading this) if you’re like me you make too much for public defender and not enough to to afford to pay 3 months worth of rent. Mehdi was fair in what he charged me. He understood what I was going through and worked with me. Honestly I couldn’t have asked for a better person to represent me. He got my case literally the best outcome possible (very happy about that!) and all while keeping me from panicking and stressing out on a regular basis. Frankly this dude deserves 3 months of my rent but he never even asked for it. I hope I’ll never need him again but if I do he’s gonna be my first call.

Mehdi was amazing at helping me navigate a complex legal situation and never gave me a bad piece of advice, nor was unresponsive, nor ungenerous with his time. You will definitely be in good hands. I know choosing is hard and there are so many reviews and attorneys to sort through, so save yourself some time and peace of mind by hiring Mehdi.

I was given a summons for failing to yield to a pedestrian. I was at loss. In one day, I called six attorneys who did not listen or were not interested in my case and gave me wrong information. By the end of that day, I found Mehdi and sent him a message that he replied promptly. He called me the next day, took his time explaining everything to me. I was impressed by his knowledge, confidence and care. I hired him and my case was dismissed. During the process, Mehdi was very attentive and kept us posted. I highly recommend Mehdi to anyone who needs an attorney. He’s exceptional.

I hired Heidi in 2020 based off of a recommendation and referral from a good friend. As a woman I feel comfortable with Heidi from the start because it's always easier to discuss domestic problems with someone you can relate to. My ex was working cash jobs so consistently thought it was hard to prove income yet Heidi was able to impute income at a higher degree than what I figure any other attorney would have been able to obtain. Every step of the way was explained, and she also lets you make choices of your choosing which makes you feel like you have a say in a legal battle. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a strong, knowledable attorney with a Compassionate Heart.

I was represented by Heidi during my divorce and through the hardest and most painful time in my life. Heidi and her assistants always helped me to feel strong and safe in their hands. I do not think I could’ve done it without their help. Heidi listened to all my concerns and understood exactly what I wanted for myself, my son and coparenting. She informed me of all my rights and all my entitlements. My divorce was fast and seamless, exactly how I wanted it. My ex husband and I now have peace between us and are doing really well at co-parenting together. She was always there to listen and I never had to wait long for a phone call back or email back even on days when she was very busy. If she couldn’t get to me I’d always receive an email by the end of the day. She helped me through so many emotions and fears that divorce brings and is truly a professional but also cares about her clients. I would definitely trust Heidi with any future legal needs I may need.

I had a 6 point ticket and Ron Cook got this down to zero points. That saved me over $300 right there alone because the DMV would have assessed a fee of $300+ due to the points. Also, by getting the points to zero, this prevented my insurance rates from going up. Hire this lawyer. His fees are reasonable and the results are superior.

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.
