I highly recommend Attorney Jonah Chew for anyone in need of outstanding legal representation. Jonah did an incredible job managing a complex case, reducing what started as 11 felony counts down to a single, immigration-safe count with no jail time and minimal probation. After five years of fighting this case, Jonah was able to settle it amicably, delivering a result far beyond what I could have hoped for. Not only did he reduce the charges, but there’s also a possibility he may be able to reduce the conviction to a misdemeanor once probation is complete. His dedication and persistence throughout the entire process were remarkable. Jonah is highly regarded in court, always punctual, and never misses a beat. He is consistently well-prepared and respected by judges and legal professionals alike. His attention to detail and unwavering commitment to his clients set him apart. I’m incredibly grateful for his hard work, professionalism, and genuine care in ensuring the best possible outcome for me. I am blessed to not just call him my lawyer, but also my friend.

I never had any interactions with the law in my life and after an unfortunate incident everything was scary and stressful. Jonah helped to reduce the stress and patiently explained things to me and answered my questions, as I was clueless about how the justice system works. He was very responsive throughout the multi-year process and was willing to jump on a phone call to talk things over. Jonah is compassionate yet explains things how they are without sugarcoating. He's been in the Bay Area judicial system for a long while and understands well how it works. Case was terminated and I'm back to the happy life thanks to Jonah.

Hello everyone! I was a client of Sheida’s for the past month, since August 15th. Her, and her team were a great help for myself, and my family during a difficult time. Never have been in legal trouble before, as well as my family never has. We essentially did not know what to do. My family and I were lost. Thank god, Sheida’s mail came into my mailbox. Once I started working with Sheida, her assistant, Kat, explained me the entire process of my legal situation and how it would be best handled. Everything was clear and their communication was on point! After working for a month, Sheida and her team took the necessary steps in helping my situation. Now I’m record free thanks to them! Sheida and her team’s expertise is what I’d recommend in times of legal trouble!

Win Win! I hired Mr. Richardson on a drug charge. He went through the evidence from the prosecutor and told me the police probably overstepped and he was right. We went to court hearings and did well ... case did not go forward and the state had to drop it. Now Mr. Richardson is working on cleaning up my record. I cannot say enough great things about working with Mr. Richardson. He always called me back and spoke w my family to ease their minds along the way. He let me make regular payments too. Attorney Richardson has a great office and great staff...is close to courthouse (in Orlando) I highly recommend Mr Richardson. I sent him a friend who got a charge in Daytona and they are happy too.

Tracy was a God given angel to me and my family. I was charged with false allegations and sent a TPO. After consulting with Tracy, she handled the case and told me to not speak at the hearing. I am normally a very strong willed person, but she went in and got the JOB DONE. I was awarded fees in the hearing. She proved that this plaintiff was a liar and acted upon malicious and retaliatory purposes. Not only did Tracy admonish the plaintiff, the judge did as well given Tracy's arguments' and defense strategy.

My husband at the time literally stole my inheritance. When I confronted him, he attacked me, I fought back and I got charged with battery because he called the cops first. Then he did a a TPO and barred me from seeing my children. With all these charges, Tracy was referred to me by a good friend. Once she was on the case, everything turned in my favor. She was able to give me custody of my kids while I had a TPO on me which never happens. She also got my battery case dismissed. My husband told me he wished she was his attorney and said that will be our family attorney. All I can say was she was a rock when I was at my lowest point and she got me through it. Her knowledge of the criminal justice system and TPOs are amazing. If you hire her, you will not be disappointed.

I was in my cell never been to jail before. I was scared in an unknown space. Disconnected from my world and my freedom I didn’t know what my future was going to be. On rock bottom. I was called for an attorney visit a very energetic bubbly blonde woman with a MCM bag begins to speak to me I automatically felt safe she told me her creditials and I automatically had a little hope. Tracy was humble, fun and energetic. You wouldn’t know how big of a deal she is because she is so humble I can’t come up with any other words to describe her. She got my TPO dismisses between me and my wife she was diplomatic with my in-laws she even came to my divorce hearing to make sure everything was safe. She works tirelessly and ethically. She is a joy for the justice system here in Georgia and you won’t find a better attorney here in Georgia

This was my first time ever getting a DUI, at 41 and with a CDL it was a BIG NO and a eye opener, but with the help of Sara Gheesling and her team from Lawson and Berry Attorneys at Law, my life and my situation definitely got handled, specially my DUI got reduced because I was instructed to do all my classes and community service ahead of time. This is and will be a once in a life time mistake for me and I’ve learned a lot from it, but the situation got handled in the most professional ways and I did not have to do much but follow simple instructions. With this being said, you can always count on them to do the job right.

So I was referred to Attorney rouse by a good friend of my mother. I’m a cdl driver so I was looking for someone to help me with a major traffic violation that could have my license revoked for a long time. I called Mr. Rouse and he was very open about how we could go about things and what we should do moving forward with the case. He actually was very reasonable with pricing and worked with me as far as my budget. He advised me before I went to court to take a driver improvement course and to do some community service to make it a little easier on myself before going in front of the judge.this was actually great advice. We went to court and to my surprise the clerks and judge knew him on first name basis(that made me feel good) everything that he asked for , the judge granted. I left the court room only with a 300 dollar fine and no points on my cdl. Well later that night I didn’t know the rules as far as punishment for serious violations for cdl drivers. I check the dds and my cdl is suspended for 10 years, for a major lifetime violation. I immediately called attorney rouse and informed him. He advised me that the only thing we possibly could do was withdraw the plea. Normally with most lawyers, after the case is closed you have to pay another fee just to consult again. Attorney rouse was at the court house the next morning, I met him there and we withdrew the plea. Days passed by and I was weary because i was in fear of losing my livelihood. Attorney rouse advised me that since the head solicitor was not willing to give us a lesser please maybe we should try a bench trial. In my head when I think of trial, if you lose it could be bad for you. Of course this came with another fee, I really didn’t wanna try it but I took a step out in faith and trusted attorney rouse’s suggestion. We went to the bench trial and attorney rouse ate them alive. He told me months before, “ you could possibly beat this off of a technicality” I’m thinking nah man I’m cooked! Attorney rouse did his research and I walk out of the court room acquitted, all charges dropped. Before the trial attorney rouse and I talked about the fans leaving the stadium in the at the Atlanta Falcons vs. Tampa game and they still won. I’m not gonna lie I thought I was doomed but I watched him work in that court room for 2 hours straight, objection after objection…. When we walked out he looked at me and said you left the stadium but we won in OT! Hire this firm…. We highly recommend this guy. He’s straight up and down

I was referred to Attorney Rouse after a few consultations I made with other attorneys that didn’t go quite so well. You can probably only imagine all the anxiety and stress that builds up by not knowing what to exactly expect (much like most) in an unfamiliar situation like this. I must say, most of my concerns, my questions and options were pretty much communicated to me in layman’s terms, I felt a sense of ease and quite impressed with my experience in every point of communication. Attorney Rouse was always professional and very patient with making sure he educates you on his knowledge and strategy so you will leave the conversation with some comfort in knowing that both parties are clear in regards to the desired outcome in mind so you just simply have to “Trust the Process”! I must admit by making the choice to choose Attorney Rouse for representation, the overall experience completely exceeded my all of my expectations. For anyone looking to work with an Attorney, who operates with integrity, professionally in such a manner that is not usually represented in the field of Attorneys(I really wish I did not have to point this out), I would definitely (highly) suggest that you reach out Attorney Rouse for consultation. You will quickly realize why you would choose him to represent you. Thank you for creating a safe space/ judgement free zone for clients and giving them an opportunity to be heard. I wish you much success in your future.

I had a complicated criminal case that changed through the course of the two year case. Mr Rouse handles things in a professional manner comprehensive explanation of the situation once its time to handle his business he does just that I thought I was going to prison but he was able to get my sentance into something manageable. When he walks in the court room you can see the respect the court has for his work. He talks to you like a person not like a paid client doesn't make you feel dumb if your not educated on a situation he will explain in a kind clear and consice way. If you don't know who to turn to and you don't wanna get lost in a larger lawfirm but need a legal warrior he is your guy. And he isn't a coward or scared in court he knows his stuff. Would recommend him for anything pertaining the law. If you have any doubts contact Rouse and associates.

I hired Patrick Dudley AFTER observing (extensively) how this counselor navigated a former business partner of mine through his (felony indicted) criminal case. Patrick was successful in getting this defendants felony indictment reduced to a simple misdemeanor charge with no prison and a reasonable probation period . That wasn't even the reason why I hired him. As a self employed entrepreneur of 25 years I have owned several companies and in my role with those companies I have had to hire attorneys for a lot of reasons (business & personal) and I know that they are not all cut from the same cloth. Integrity (of billing) is hard to find. Guts, and qualified experience are hard to find. Patrick has that blue-collar (sleeves rolled up) legal persona that makes you feel like you've got someone in the trenches with you ready to help you fight for your legal rights. He is professional, plain-speaking about what you can or can't do in your legal strategy....and if its something other than black/white he will help you understand the legal risks of the murky path. He is also likable. He knew the judge involved in the criminal case involving my former business partner; the judge smiled at him and greeted him, which certainly made me feel better about my possibilities because that was the judge in my case as well. I hired Patrick specifically to reduce or improve my probation instructions and the price point was fair and agreed to up front by us both. We also agreed to what we would be requesting from the Judge specifically and what would be a realistic goal for me in getting some leniency on my probation instructions. In a few short weeks we got exactly everything we requested. How? Patrick first got the US Attorney assigned to my case to agree that he would not challenge our request. Second, he spoke with and got the same agreement from my Probation Officer. I credit his likability and professional demeanor to getting them on board with this. He did all of that up front and so the judge determined that this request was a simple thing for him to approve. I am a happy client and I am benefitting from his hire. Patrick, you made my life and my family's life easier with this success we had together and I thank you.

Mr. Dudley was easy to contact and consult with regarding my husband's criminal case. Immediately, I could tell he was an astute listener and detailed thinker. We had several questions regarding sentencing and incarceration, which can be a confusing, scary time for family members; he took his time reviewing the facts and did not leave the conversation without my full understanding of his expert analysis. He was extremely patient, thorough, and empathetic. Mr. Dudley provided clarity to our murky understanding of what happens after an individual is incarcerated. I wish we would have hired him from the beginning to represent my husband, as he was able to answer all the questions our current attorney could not. It's apparent that Mr. Dudley has a passion for people and justice, and I would highly recommend consulting with him as soon as your legal troubles arise. Thank you again, Mr. Dudley!

I found myself wrongfully accused. I was beyond scared. Mr. Jerry Lee came to my location immediately and offered sincere interest and HELP. He was the every measure of comfort I needed. At every turn, turns I didn’t know to expect, he knew exactly what to do, practicing expert law, but also comforting me. I’m speaking frankly when I say these things as I had never found myself in a position needing to defend against something awful and untrue. I believe Mr. Lee to have become a real friend, the kind of honorable man I’ll call a friend for life. In the end he did lead me to freedom, but the space between accusation and freedom from it was filled with his application of expertise in all things law, and finesse in helping this client get through it.

Jerry defended me against an unfair situation where I was the absolute underdog. I didn’t know what Would happen next. He helped me go against the establishment and come out the victor. A short synopsis, someone who was harassing me filed at work filed a false and untrue police report with no proof after I brought a Hostile work complaint against them. They tried to ruin my name, integrity and steal my freedom. Jerry stood chest to chest with the courts who were certain I was guilty. He pointed out the lies, mistruths and accusations that carried no weight. I watched this man make sure the system listened to me and also made them take me seriously. Jerry F. Lee is a miracle worker. I hope I don’t need to be in a situation where I need his incredibly services again, but if so Jerry F Lee will be my first and only choice.

My wife and I were dealing specifically with a claim for restitution in relation to a hit pedestrian in a DUI case. Admittedly, the $250 fee for a phone call struck me as odd as none of the other firms seemed to be requiring the same upfront cost. That said we wanted to cast a wide net in terms of attorneys and kept the meeting. Givelle was probably the 10th attorney we spoke to regarding our situation. Our frustration through the process was that many attorneys seemed intent to just handle pretty straight forward DUI cases. From our novice perspective, these attorneys did not seem to have a good grasp on the nuance of more complicated DUI cases and were for the most part not able to help us. Luckily, we were able to connect with Givelle. 5 minutes into our conversation, we knew that the $250 was going to be well spent. Our understanding of the situation by the time our consult was over was light years ahead of where it had begun. Givelle ended up not being the specialist we needed for the case in front of us, however after giving us much better insight in terms of what to expect from the courts she immediately connected us with an amazing attorney that has expertise in this niche arena. After spiraling for a bit, we finally feel like we are headed in the right direction thanks to Givelle's guidance. Prices are only expensive in the absence of value. That phone call was probably the cheapest $250 we've ever spent. If you're in a tough spot, this is a phone call you need to make.

Most people live their lives never dreaming they would ever need a criminal defense attorney. But, sometimes life takes a hard left turn with no warning and you can find yourself in a very dark and scary place. When that happened to us we didn't know where to turn. But our daughter did, an old classmate, Jeffrey Wolf, was the one to call. So we did. We called an attorney, but a hero showed up. Mr Wolf is the picture of competence with compassion. He alleviated many of our fears and promptly answered every question with confidence. During this most difficult time he made it possible for us to live our lives and actually sleep a little at night knowing that we were in the best possible hands. Our family will be forever grateful to Mr Wolf as he truly is a Light in the Darkness.

I had a very difficult legitimation/custody case, and Scot Sikes and his amazing team were there for me every step of the way. From the initial consult all the way to the final hearing, they were there to guide me and give me strength when I needed it most. I always felt like my case was a priority to them and it was handled with the utmost care and compassion. Scot and his team were quick to act and filed emergency orders when necessary, answered every question and concern I had, and even went as far as to conduct their own research to assist with the case. I’m grateful for all of their hard work and dedication, and I highly recommend their services. You will not find a more genuine and honorable legal representative.

When I got hurt on the job, I ran into issues with treatment and workman’s compensation. I reached out to Larry and his team for help- which proved to be one of the best decisions I ever made. Not only did Larry go above and beyond to keep me informed on the process, he was able to help me settle for more than expected AND get me the freedom to seek consistent treatment for my recovery. I couldn’t be happier (or more relieved) to have sought representation from Mr. Free.

Larry Free was nothing short of a life saver. His expertise, kindness and personalized care made an incredibly difficult situation in my life significantly easier to get through. I finally felt like I had someone reliable and well-equipped in my corner for the litigious fight ahead. He was always up front, honest and approachable. Larry is a lawyer who is on your side and at your side when you need him. He graciously took my case and with confidence and integrity he got me to the end of a long road where I was no longer defeated but in a place where I was finally back up on my feet, financially and otherwise. Couldn’t recommend Larry and this firm more, they are all highly professional and incredibly prepared to fight for their clients and to fight for what is right. I couldn’t be more grateful.

From the date of my arrest to my sentencing in court, Lisa and her team were able to get my case as a wet n wreckless in less than 4 months!!! I owe it all to her team and Ed Talik! I ultimately felt like I had hit rock bottom, that this potential DUI was going to be like wearing the scarlet letter for years to come. I thought I wouldn’t be able to look forward to having a successful future and that this would set me back. Because this was my first DUI and being in trouble with the law, I wasn’t sure if I even needed an attorney, nor did I think I could afford to drop the money for it. I spent a few days trying to do my own research on reddit and finally started calling around. I spoke to 2 offices before speaking to Lisa’s office. Ed Talik, the attorney who works with Lisa, consulted with me over the phone. He highly suggested I hire an attorney, even if it wasnt with their office, I would have a chance at a lower sentencing and to get the DMV hearing. He took the time to answer all my questions. He assured me Lisa was the best at her job and specialized with DUI cases, ect. What led me to choosing Lisa’s office was their experience. Ed himself also has one hell of an impressive background, highly qualified with years of working in the field as a Chief of police and DA. I felt confident in their team to help me with my case and I’m so glad I went with them. They gathered all the necessary reports, discovery packet, including dash cam footage and looked into the breathalyzer machine at the CHP office to make sure it was functioning correctly. They advised me to gather a mitigation packet for court. I was able to sit down with Lisa and meet with her a week before my pretrial court date. It resulted in a wet reckless that Ed Talik was miraculously able to do! I can tell that he truthfully enjoys the work that he does and I feel so thankful for that ! Thank you Lisa Liu, Ed Talik and Malorie !

I just want to share how I became a homeowner with the help of PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST for fixing my credit report. The negative items on my credit report deprived me of so many opportunities alongside 5 derogatory and 2 collections which messed up my report and lowered my credit score to EQ: 547, TU 564, EX 521. After my mom told me about PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST, I reached out to them immediately and complied with their proposal. After five days he helped me boost my credit score to EQ: 809, TU 801, EX 811 excellent standard and he also deleted all negative collections and derogatory ones on my credit report. These finally got me a mortgage for my new house and credit cards. Contact him now by email:

My Mother hired Mr. Carron on my behalf and he turned out to be the best lawyer that I ran across in many years, he will give his input on things that may be better handled in a different perspective then yours and consult with you before making any changes that you felt strong about. I've encountered lawyers that have went their way and filed things on my behalf without communication, he is the exact opposite, I would recommend him to anyone..very professional!

After a very long struggle with defense attorneys who were uncaring, non-responsive, just "throw you to the wolves" kind of people and steal your money, we needed an appeals attorney. We contacted many many appeals attorneys and it became a coin toss between Mr. Carron and only one other attorney. We did not hire him, but we're hoping we made the right decision. Mr. Carron was very knowledgeable , responsive, caring and listened to any concerns or questions we had. We would HIGHLY recommend him if you are in the unfortunate position to need an appeals attorney.

Coming to this site I had little hope, I had been on several different sites, Ask an attorney? Get legal advice? I was givin misinformation each time. So basically I was gonna give it one last try lucky for me Dana answered my question unlike all the other attorneys that I had asked he actually knew what I was talking about. In fact Dana had handled some cases like mine. So he began looking into this for me. We have been corresponding for several days as he was doing research for me. But unfortunately he ha d explained that I had misses the deadline to file a claim by 3 days. My heart sank if I hadn't gotten so many bad answers in the past by professionals who really had no clue & didn't care enough to do some research i would have been able to file a claim. So unfortunately we couldn't continue with my suit at this time. But Dana reassure me he will look into extensions for this deadline & if he can do it he will get a claim filed in my behalf. So this is why I say he is 1 in a million a rare breed because who does that for people? Spend days trying to help them even at home going far beyond what he needed to. So I do know that with Dana Carron not only do u get a smart guy who works hard you also get a guy who gives a damn & actually cares for his fellow man. So thats a win win. .....

I wish I could write more, but my case was over almost instantly once Mike was appointed. He reached out to me immediately and wanted to hear my truth within minutes of a short introduction. He clearly and simply explained to me my case, my possible penalties, and worst/best case scenarios in GREAT DETAIL. He did an amazing job letting me know he was in my corner 100%, believed me and my story, and he got me off with a "slap" on wrist which was more than I deserved but when it comes to the justice system and its "fairness", Mike got me a deal that saved my business and my future. #TEAMJUSTICE #JUSTICELEAGUEOFLEGENDS #DENY IT

If you feel like you’ve made the worst decision ever, then make the best one and call Shawn. It took a year for my situation to get figured out but he was there any time I got something scary in the mail or needed to talk through it again so I could stop being anxious and down on myself. Shawn was able to provide support and a safe space through an incredibly intimidating extended period of time. On top of that, he’s an outstanding defense attorney! My situation was not great and in the end it was less than I ever imagined possible. I will absolutely recommend him to anyone I know in the future that finds themselves in this unfortunate situation.

Shawn was able to help me through a very challenging time in my life and represented me with passion and grace that I quite honestly didn’t deserve. He single handedly helped me escape what could have been a much worse outcome and continues to support me to this day. I could not have asked for a better lawyer and if anyone has a question about this man’s integrity and ability to help you please take this review as truth. Throughout my process Shawn was kind, clear and explained everything about this process which was super helpful, especially because I have never gone through anything like this. You might read this and think that this is embellished; it is not. I truly admire this man’s work and will never forget what he did for me. Thank you Shawn!!!

I got a speeding ticket on a road trip passing through Needles, CA that I really could not afford on my record and I live several states away. I called several other places too but this office seemed like the best fit because of the location and it was a reasonable price. This was my first experience hiring a lawyer to fight a case for me and wasn't sure how it would go, also the long waiting period up to the scheduled court date made me nervous. However J Brian Campbell's office had such great customer service whenever I called or emailed. They challenged the ticket for me on schedule and I finally got the best possible outcome- case dismissed!!

I hired Jacob to represent my son on probation early release and a ticket. He answered all our calls immediately and had great results in both cases. I wish I would have met Jacob when my son was originally charged for what was supposed to be a misdemeanor and because we got a lazy, incompetent and unprofessional lawyer my son ended up with a felony. I mention this because not all lawyers are the same. Some just take your money and go to court without doing any work or doing the most basic preparation. Jacob doesn’t make any promises he can’t keep but will do the work to win. We are very grateful to him and would definitely recommend him to family and friends.

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.
