I found myself in need of a lawyer and I knew I had to make a choice as to who would represent me. Hands down the best decision I could have ever made! Greg is a true professional and a bulldog in the courtroom. When I first contacted him I was nervous and scared. Greg reassured me and told me not to worry, and that it’s his responsibility to take care of all my concerns. He immediately put me at ease. He fought for me every step of the way and got my case resolved in a very favorable way! I really can not recommend him enough. He is so knowledgeable about the law and truly cares for his clients. I promise you that you will not be disappointed! I highly recommend that Greg Simms be your first choice when looking for representation!

I highly recommend Greg as a lawyer. From the beginning to the end of my DUI case he was available and explained step by step the process. He would answer my questions. He was very knowledgeable and professional throughout the procedure. Being a nervous wreck and a first time offender he provided support and guidance. He knows the laws and willing to fight until the end. He knew what I wanted the outcome to entail and he was willing to keep fighting until we got the outcome deserved. I’m very pleased and blessed that my DUI was amended to wreckless driving. I owe it to Greg! I’m thankful for all his hard work! Highly recommend this lawyer!

Mr Simms has been helpful, up front and knowledgeable beyond my expectations. I am currently struggling to clear my record and mr Simms has not only responded promptly but helped me understand the process in a way that I did not and would not have without his assistance. If you are thinking about trying to work through a process without an attorney I highly recommend you do not make that mistake and hire Mr Simms. The frustration and time I have had trying to expunge my record with the added effect doing it wrong would have been devastating. In legal matters all the i’s must be dotted and t’s crossed and Mr Simms has it all covered in a professional way that no other lawyer I have spoken with has had, and the record I am trying to expunge is rather lengthy so I’ve spoken to many. There are many ways to do this wrong and one clear way to do it complete and correct and that starts by hiring Mr. Simms

I already have a great relationship with Paul but his assistance in guiding me through the family law matters I’ve had to deal with has been so exceptionally helpful that I’ve even managed to settle things on my terms while avoiding full blown litigation. In the end his advisement alone has saved me thousands. You’re looking for an attorney right? Look no further. You found the guy.

I had one of the darkest times of my entire life. I felt scared, overwhelmed, and alone, but then I found Paul Kelley. My only light. My friend recommended him. I hired him to represent my boyfriend on a criminal charge and he took into consideration how important the outcome of this case was. And he did exactly what we needed him to do. I couldn’t recommend Paul enough. And by the way his communication. The way he was always there for me no matter when I had a question, Paul was there. Patient, kind, caring, reassuring, and most of all very transparent, straightforward, and honest. This my first time ever having to deal with something like this in my entire life and I couldn’t be more grateful that I had Paul in my corner. Thank you so much. And hopefully I never need you again… but if I or anyone I know does… I KNOW A GUY!

A 30-month legal nightmare of proving my innocence and residency came to an end on May 7, 2024. It was Attorney Donna Jean Kuchler and her team who believed and fought for me during this ordeal. I remember early on when Donna said, "We intend to mount a vigorous defense." I believed in her and she believed in me. There is no one I would trust more than Donna Kuchler and her law firm. They prepared for my court trial filing numerous motions to dismiss, including those that were sent to the Court of Appeals. Together we fought the fight, ran the race, and I was found not guilty on all 7 felony charges and was fully acquitted by the judge in a court trial. I have my life back. My life is different but I am free. God bless and thank you, Attorney Donna Kuchler and Kate!

First I have to say I had a very difficult case. I was very lucky to find such a Law firm as Coffer and Connelly. I first called and spoke to Daisy and Star. They pointed to Garrett Emerson atty. Atty’s are abundant and it’s hard to find one you can trust. “Your life is at stake” So what was so special is unlike other Atty’s they were very communicative and responded to All My calls! Wow… Amazing! So we hit a home run on my case! All and all.. Do Not Hesitate to hire this firm! They have become family to me and I can’t wait to meet the staff in Austin. Thank y’all Sooooooooo Much. I will be forever grateful. Respectfully Yours! James W

Hands down the best in Texas. I’ve had 3 cases with Matt all of which were dismissed before trial. While dependability is a quality you want in a lawyer and one all claim to have Matt actually looks out for YOUR best interest not what’s easiest or what’s more profitable for him. When you call he answers, there’s no anxiety sitting in court wondering if he’s going to show up if he says he’s going to be there you can bet on it.

Mr. Sears is very knowledgeable about Special Education and what schools should be providing their students. As someone who is a well versed parent of a child with special needs, I felt that I was still not getting what my child needed in school. I struggled to get the school to understand and work with my child that I became so frustrated and my child was suffering daily. I contacted Mr. Sears for help to see if there was anything he can do. He helped me navigate the whole process beginning to end until everything my child needed was provided by the school. He continued to provide follow ups and updates from the school and did not stop until her needs were met. Mr. Sears answered all my questions quickly and helped me feel a sense of calm working through this process. It helped being removed and having someone there to advocate for my child and their needs. I HIGHLY recommend Shane Sears and his firm.

To start, I’d love to thank Parisa personally again for her patience, tenacity, diligence and brutal honesty throughout my legal battle. I reached out to Lewis and Dickstein Because of their reputation and our glorious state of Michigan. Parisa Sadrnia was the one who answered the phone after hours and consulted me for long after the initial consultation was or had ended. I went in and her whole concern and attitude was to defend her client while showing a tremendous amount of patients because of being falsely accused of domestic violence. There is an old term that we all know “ Pay for what you get” Parisa is worth every penny and then some, and deserves even more than What the firm fees are. I will and I am recommending to anyone in need of an absolute beast in a criminal defense. PARISA IS THE ONE! She is Young, But I will say with her, she spares no doubt To her client that she is 100% there for them. Parisa will not leave one stone unturned that she cannot figure out or gain to help and defending or in your defense, as well as knows the exact approach. I had a ton of evidence that we could’ve used. The things that we focused on in court because of Parisa‘s knowledge and experience, We did not have to explore half of that. She obtained things that the government “ Prosecution” Was not aware that we had nor did we have to submit as evidence that we used in trial, which was incredibly damaging to the so-called victim. I have never heard nor experienced a lawyer like Parisa at my trial with her ability to impeach, discredit, And embarrass the so-called victim on the stand that a panel of six women and one man all came back unanimously not guilty. Mind you, I have had a criminal history that was in the past levels that were not violent that she navigated around the governments ability to use at trial as well as even setting forth the motion To just use the term victim at the trial, so it could not be said. I cannot express my gratitude enough to Parisa and her team that also stands behind her because when you hire her, you hire all of them as well. Every single one of them are a 10 out of 10 and probably the best law in the state of Michigan above and when I say above Jeffrey Figer, which is Hard to beat. They are 100% again worth every dollar I am not an easy person to sometimes deal with! But Parisa 100% talk to me at any point of the day or night, calmed me, reassured me, and also was straightforward again which I appreciate more than anything about the potential seriousness of the allegations that were against me. She never lied to me. She never promised me anything nor did she ever tell me with everything that I had that I was OK or good and she could get it done. She kept it 100% with me, She is one of the most straightforward, honest people that I’ve honestly genuinely ever met. I am a finance manager at a local car dealership, I can tend to feed and read through a lot of the BS. She is very genuine. She is the best at her job and she is a superstar lawyer that if I ever need again has my 100% loyalty. Thank you, Lewis and Dickstein Most of all, THANK YOU TOO, PARISA SADRNIA FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID FOR THE TIME YOU TOOK AWAY WITH YOUR PERSONAL LIFE FOR ME AS WELL AS NEVER LOSING FAITH OR DOUBTING ME AND DEFENDING ME. You are truly a blessing and someone that I will always consult or recommend to anyone. She deserves a much higher rating then 10/10 but 10 stars PARISA

I recently had the privilege of being represented by Attorney John Seed for a DUI. He was referred by a friend and there is no question he was the perfect attorney for the case. After reviewing the details, John made clear what to expect regarding timelines and court appearances. On the day of the trial, a weak witness for the prosecution that would have benefitted our case failed to show and instead threatened to derail it. However, John’s experience and expertise turned what could have been a disaster into a quick win. John’s ability to think on his feet and adapt to last-minute changes was nothing short of remarkable. He remained calm and composed, quickly assessing the situation and adjusting our strategy accordingly. I am incredibly grateful for John’s dedication. If you need a defense attorney who can expertly handle your case , I absolutely recommend John Seed.

He went above and beyond in every aspect, showing a level of dedication that is rare to find. His commitment to my case was unwavering, and he was always available whenever I needed him, whether it was to answer a question or offer reassurance during challenging times. Without his guidance and expertise, I wouldn’t have been able to fight the battle that led to such an amazing verdict.

How do I begin to explain what Bart Betteau and his team did for me. He helped me through one of the most difficult experiences in my life. I had two attorneys prior to him and he made them look ridiculous. After I let my second attorney go I knew I was facing jail time and that was terrifying especially considering I had never been in trouble with the law. Me and my fiancee knew I needed not a great attorney but the best of the best. The only name we kept hearing was Bart Betteau. So we called and set an appointment. By the end of my first conversation with Bart and his team it felt like the world was lifted off my shoulders. There was not a single time where it took more than part of a day to hear back from the office when I contacted them. How many people can say that about their attorneys. And, it went beyond that! They contacted me on a regular basis to let me know what was going on.. I never had to hound them to get information about my cases. Every single time I went to court Bart stood out from everyone else in the courtroom. As I sat there watching and listening to him all I could think was am I watching a movie! I have never in my life been more impressed by any attorney including ones you see on the news. I think he may actually walk on water. At times he had his hands full with me because I didn't always make the best choices.. but, he fixed everything. Because of him and his team I didn't have a jail sentence and he even got me off probation early. Without them I know without a shadow of a doubt that I wouldn't be sitting here giving a review because I would be in jail. He certainly measured up to his reputation and then some! If you're reading this to figure out if you want them to represent you... Trust me it will be one of the best decisions you've made in your entire life. I will forever be grateful for everything they did for me including giving me my life back. They ended the nightmare I went through for almost 2 years. P. S. He ran circles around everyone else in the court room. It was an honor to be witness to that.

I can't believe police will arrest for a DUI even if they don't do the tests. But Kal really told me that an arrest always happens in those situations and it boils down do the laywer you get and how the can spin things. He did it! Kal just said "let me handle it" in our first meeting and he got the win! He's a no BS guy and won Thank you do much

Kal helped me out with my accident after someone rammed into me and left. I was so scared because I didn't know what to do the police really didn't seem to care. I thought I'd have to cover my own bills and thought I was going to get fired because I couldn't go back to work right away. Kal handled all of it with ease and told me not to worry. He really knows his stuff inside and out and it all happened! Thank you so much Kal. Not just from me, but from my whole family!!

I received a traffic violation on I-94 in the mess of the construction if you can believe that nonsense. The cop gave me a 20 mph over the speed limit with 6 points. Richard got the points reduced to zero with a light fine. He accomplished the job 3 weeks in advance of the court date with me not having to step foot anywhere near a courthouse. 100% justifiable spend for his services! I will definitely use him again, hopefully not too soon.

Fortunately, I had a referral for Richard Albanese and he contacted me quickly and handled absolutely everything. He kept in contact with me with each step of the process. My son received a very favorable outcome that would not have been possible without Richard's expertise. I would recommend him 100%.

Michael is a good human and an amazing Lawyer. I found myself in a situation I had never been in before facing an unnecessary and un-true charge that stemmed from a home and self defense situation. I found Michael and knew right away I could fire the 1st Lawyer I had retained and stick with Michael moving forward. Thanks to Michael's experience, talent, and *care*, my case was dismissed and records sealed. I hope I never have to retain a Criminal Defense Lawyer for myself ever again. However, I will forever recommend him to anyone who may be need of one.

I am based on the East Coast and required an attorney on the West Coast. Mr. Fell was recommended to me by a firm on the East Coast. I found Mr. Fell and his Firm very professional, efficient, pleasant, and effective. We discussed the case parameters, and I promptly forgot about them. Well, Mr. Fell did not forget about it; over a year later, he contacted me with a complete resolution of the case and a large refund of the retainer. I have NEVER received a refund for a retainer from any attorney; it has always mysteriously gotten "used" up. If you want an effective and honest Law firm, you can be confident in Mr. Fell and his firm.

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.
