My sister and I engaged Jacqueline in January to represent us in a CPS investigation after my 6 year old niece was placed under a 30-day safety plan while my sister underwent alcohol detox and therapy. This was our first interaction with CPS. We used employer-provided services rather than the onerous services demanded by CPS. CPS threatened numerous times to move my niece into foster care. They also threatened a legal motion to participate in their services. They even claimed that they didn't have to talk to a legal representative. We would never have been able to navigate this process without Jacqueline, who is an expert not only in the law, but in the ways that CPS will try to manipulate and threaten. Jacqueline made the case that CPS services and involvement were not needed beyond the 30 days. My niece returned home after 30 days, and as of 3 months later, CPS has taken no further action. Jacqueline will fight for you and execute a plan with the highest probability of success. She will navigate the maze of CPS that you can’t see. We are completely satisfied and highly recommend Jacqueline.

We hired Jacqueline Kriebel to represent us concerning our grandson after CPS became involved. She was understanding and sympathetic to our situation and had our case underway immediately. We were relieved to be granted sole managing conservatorship. We feel that Jacqueline brought us through a very stressful time in our lives and our grandson is now safe and protected. We’ll certainly be retaining Kriebel Law in the future.

Although their firm consist of many team members, and you may meet a new one each time they assist you, each one had already had knowledge of my case. I was at first skeptical, but quickly realized they were all working in my best interest. As I was promised the case was dismissed without any hesitation and I again have a clear record that I do not have to fear anymore. Thank you so much for your honesty, affordability, and reassurance that I would receive the results I was promised!

Received a felony charge. Needless to say, this was a lot of stress and Nathan Miller accepted my case. He got me deferred adjudication and then expungement afterward. The consulting appointment was very knowledgable and laid out possible outcomes; I'm glad I hired him. His office put me at ease by updating me on checkpoints and major changes along the way. COVID-related protocols delayed my expungement but I was notified quickly on those circumstances.

Mr. Rowe was appointed by the court after I was arrested for the 2nd time while on felony probation in 2019 . He first bonded me out when the MTA (motion to adjudicate) was filed, all I had to do was let him know when I was going to turn myself in and what card on file to use. I went in at 11pm on a Tuesday and was out by 3pm on Wednesday. The candor and top tier representation resulted in all charges dropped and my reinstatement to Deferred Adjudication Probation. If I ever get jammed up again he's going to be my first call.

Dear Eric Rothstein, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for your exceptional legal representation throughout my case. Your knowledge, expertise, and unwavering dedication have been instrumental in achieving a positive outcome. Case dismissed. From our initial consultation to the final resolution, you demonstrated a profound understanding of the intricacies involved in my legal matter. Your strategic guidance and meticulous attention to detail were evident at every stage, making me feel confident and reassured throughout the process. Furthermore, your strong advocacy skills and persuasive arguments in court were truly remarkable. You expertly navigated the complexities of the legal system, always keeping my best interests at the forefront. Your ability to present a compelling case and effectively communicate my position to the judge and jury has undoubtedly made a significant impact. Beyond your exceptional professional abilities, your empathy, compassion, and genuine concern for my well-being have been truly remarkable. You always took the time to address my concerns and answer any questions I had, ensuring I felt supported and informed every step of the way. I am incredibly grateful for your tireless efforts and the positive outcome you achieved on my behalf. Your legal representation has not only provided me with the best possible outcome but also brought me peace of mind during an otherwise challenging time.

Eric represented me in a personal injury case at a NYC nightclub which caused substantial physical damages. With Eric’s guidance, the outcome of the lawsuit was settled with a very favorable outcome. Eric has always been responsive to calls and emails at all times and explains every issue to the best of his knowledge. I never felt pressure to make a decision I didn’t agree with and had full autonomy of my decisions. I had Eric’s help every step of the way and am glad I was lucky enough to find an excellent lawyer. Thank you for giving me closure to this traumatic chapter of my life, it would’ve been much more stressful without your expertise. I highly recommend Eric for his knowledge, work ethic, and professionalism.

Being disabled veteran he advocated for conditions and help drop a couple charges to get me a good deal with probation and with stipulations that help aid me with my disability. I appreciate him very much and anybody that has this lawyer in your corner he is definitely going to advocate for you and he is definitely going to go to the length to make sure that the very best can be done for you. I can't be more grateful and thankful for this man helping me in my time of need and yes I did break the law but he advocated the issues that were outside the norm and my situation surrounding the charges.

I could not say enough kind things about this man . I owned a small hobby farm in upstate NY . I was charged with doing something illegal against the animal welfare act and it was brought down to NYC. I originally hired a firm that told me my case was a win win no problem as they were just collecting money. After a one count conviction in a five day Trial in NYC. I fired the lawyers and hired Richard who was highly recommended by my civil lawyer to handle Post conviction and the sentencing and appeal. It was the best decision I made. Richard is tough but fair and the judge that tried my case in the southern district at sentencing even praised his work . Richard also met with me and the probation officer for sentencing It was very reassuring to have some one in your corner that is fighting for you for me it made all the difference he explained everything and did not let me believe lies thank you for everything Richard.

I was very overwhelmed with the two charges I had got of, DWI and Public Intoxication. I spoke with over 20 lawyers literally and by no means, could any of them come close to the expertise, experience, professionalism and honesty that Mark demonstrated. From the start he was completely honest with me and didn't give me false hope or mislead me. He guided me from the moment I consulted with him and became a "confidant" and I truly trusted he had my best interest in hand. Mark listened to my story, my background and understood that people make mistakes and supported me thru the entire process. I never had an issue reaching him or getting answers to concerns or questions I had. I was going thru enough guilt of the incident, and he treated with respect and humanity. He did the advocating for me and explained every step thoroughly and accurately. Even on my court date, he was supportive and comforting, never forcing me into a decision I did not want to do. He gave me all the facts from every side. I am extremely pleased with Mr. Earley and highly recommend him without reservation, as he gave me a second chance at life again. Mark also gave me the emotional support during the entire process that I felt safe and secure with him. My experience with Mark Earley restored my faith in the justice system. Thank you, Mark!

I recently hired Mr. Louie to defend a charge of speeding at 80mph in a 55mph zone. As an out of state resident, I was surprised to learn that this is automatically considered reckless driving in Virginia, which itself is considered a misdemeanor in the state. Mr. Louie's counsel resulted in a proper outcome which was in line with our goal of avoiding a reckless driving charge. Both Mr. Louie and his staff were professional and attentive throughout the process, and his experience is demonstrated by his knowledge and calming presence. It is obvious that Mr. Louie has a strong working relationship with many parties in the Virginia Beach area. I believe that this is an asset for an area with such a large out of state/military population and relatively harsh traffic laws. Overall great job!

I was pulled over for going 37 over the limit. I did not know how strict the laws in VA since I'm from NJ. I had called several lawyers who I just didn't trust or like. So I went with my gut and chose Peter Louie. My instinct was spot on. Peter is realistic, knowledgeable and most importantly honest. I was facing jail, license suspension, a misdemeanor and a $3500 fine. I walked away with a $400 dollar fine. Everything else was dropped, no jail . no 3500 dollar fine, no suspension and no misdemeanor. Do as Peter says and all will be alright. I highly recommend Peter Louie and his firm.

I hired Jerrell based on a recommendation from an old military friend of mine and he did an excellent job of representing me.

Andi Geloo is an outstanding and top-notch lawyer. I could not have made a better decision hiring her. She aims for the stars trying to get the best possible outcome for you, and she delivers. She made it look easy reducing a reckless driving ticket down to a non-moving violation especially after seeing other lawyers go before her who failed to achieve such a great outcome with similar cases. She is also extremely compassionate, kind, approachable, and always available and she constantly checked in to make sure everything was ok and that any questions/concerns I had were addressed fully. She is my first recommendation for anyone needing legal help.

Andi Geloo is an exceptional lawyer, and my experience with her surpassed all expectations. From the outset, Andi's warm and empathetic demeanor immediately reassured me. Throughout our correspondence via email and a Saturday phone call dedicated to addressing my concerns, she consistently demonstrated her dedication to my case. Andi not only answered every query I had thoroughly and comprehensively but also went above and beyond by providing additional insights and suggestions to bolster my case. Upon hiring her, her responsiveness remained unparalleled, leaving me with no lingering doubts or uncertainties. Leading up to the court date, I meticulously followed her guidance, and on the day of the hearing, she was there as promised, offering unwavering support. In the end, Andi achieved an outcome that far exceeded my expectations. Reflecting back, it's still surreal to comprehend that she got my reckless speeding over 85 mph down to a non-moving violation and zero point offense. I am immensely grateful for Andi's expertise, professionalism, and genuine care throughout this process. Without hesitation, I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of legal representation.

By far the best attorney I have had the pleasure of working with. I had an unemployment matter with a very large corporation. He was very helpful and informative. He answered my question about the case well after normal closing time and is very thorough. He will tell you honestly how it will or could possibly go and he is very professional and seems to be well known by judges. Definitely recommend

All around amazing work. I am dealing with court for unemployment benefits I was told I shouldn't have gotten because my employer claimed that quit. I was nervous to go to court with a huge corporation. I applied for the unemployment Law group and Mr. Norman assigned to my case. He is very knowledgeable and always quick to respond. I never had to worry about what was going on with my case because if I had questions I could email and get very quick responses. I had no idea which way to go or what to do and Mr Norman just swooped right in, took control of the helm and guided me in the right direction. I went to court the first time and got a decision in my favor. They appealed it and he agreed to actually take over my case again even though he didn't have to, and we won! All around amazing attorney and I would highly recommend for a vast variety of types of court cases from criminal charges to unemployment. If you want an attorney that's on top of it, knows what he's talking about, has been doing this for a long time and is very professional? Mr Norman is the way to go! I always knew he was on my side and would answer my questions and stand by my side on that brutal day, even if we lost (which we didn't, woot woot!!). I would definitely pick this attorney again.

He was very communicative and patient in explaining unemployment law. He was always prompt at responding to my emails and questions and ensured that we were aware of updates and changes as soon as they happened. Dan did an excellent job explaining the process and giving me realistic expectations. I felt prepared going into my hearings.

A family of tenants in my rental house stopped paying rent. I googled Wilmington attorneys and had the good fortune to call David Collins. Although he told me his office does not do evictions, David took the time to give me direction and told me many attorneys do not do evictions. The forms are readily available at the office of the clerk of court and are not a terribly complicated process so that individuals can do it themselves. he said to call him if I ran into any road blocks and we could do a consultation then if necessary. His advice very helpful.

I had an illegal stalking case in 2007, supposed to get probation, Redfield made an agreement with the DA, but the defendant went on the stand for about an hour & ended up screwed over & convicted. I stopped in yesterday & spoke with Redfield, but didn't remember him making an agreement. If she wouldn't have gone on the stand, would have gotten probation. He is retiring at the end of this month & won't take new cases.

By far the best family law experience I have ever had. I have been battling a custody case for going on 7 years. If we're honest I didn't really have the money to hire an attorney and had been doing it on my own. Well in short I had a couple disgruntled ex gfs and a biased g.a.l. against me. Mr Redfield handled it all very well. I almost felt as if my case was the only case he was handling although I know that wasn't the case. The biggest thing for me was his compassion. He and I talked for hours and hours...all of which he didn't charge me extra money for, as has been my experience with most other lawyers. We discussed a price and he stuck to it. Which was HUGE for me, because if he wanted more money I probably would have been out of luck. In court (which ended up being a 3 day evidentiary hearing) he couldn't have examined/cross examined better. He and I had some different thoughts on the process but I put my trust in him seeing as he's the lawyer. He didn't let me or my son down. In fact he couldn't have done better. If you're dealing with a custody issue choose this guy. You won't regret it. Every man I know feels they don't have a chance in custody court, pick Jared Redfield and you won't feel that way anymore. The cards were against me going in. But he brought to light ALL the facts that really mattered and showed the court what a fathers love truly means. And against the g.a.l. recommendation the judge ruled for me to have primary placement and sole custody. Which is truly what is in my sons best interest. From me and my kids. THANK YOU Jared.

From the outset Jared was a true professional. I was entering into what became an extremely difficult divorce case which was further complicated by my loss of job and an opposing attorney that would say and do anything his client wished regardless of facts. Jared will listen and advise accordingly. His calming demeanor helped me when things were at there most difficult. Jared is compassionate and actively cared about me during the whole process. There were hard times for me personally and Jared was there to listen and give comforting expert guidance and a plan forward. After a hard fought case, Jared prevailed and won the case. I cannot imagine having a more compassionate, knowledgeable and professional attorney representing me throughout this whole process.

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.
