Our 15 yr. Old son had some issues and was arrested . He was originally charged with several different charges ( 1st time offender) but, Mr. Ambrose was able to get charges reduced to just 1 charge of family violence. He received probation, while the judge himself stated that he felt he should be sent to a juvenile facility, he also stated that he would honor the agreement that Mr. Ambrose was able to work out with the prosecutor. I pray we never have another need for a defense attorney in the future...but if so, we definitely wouldn't go to anyone else other than Chris Ambrose and Melissa. They were awesome and our family is so thankful.

The best attorney around!!! My son was charged with DUI + 8 other charges (first offense). Mr. Ambrose was excellent and got the charges down to Too Fast For Conditions. My husband & I didn't have a clue as to where to start but heard from several people that Mr. Ambros is the best there is. So we called him and his team immediately scheduled us for a consultation. Him and Melissa were always there when we had questions or concerns! I highly recommend Mr. Ambros and Melissa should you need an attorney!!

Before introducing himself, my first impression when this attorney showed up in the darkest, saddest, must unjust moment in my life as an adult woman, was: Who is this? He had no smile on his face. He reminded me of "Joe Friday", honestly! Then he introduced himself, and just asked me how did I get myself in the situation I was in. No promises, no song and dance - yet I saw a profound sense of compassion and understanding in his eyes. He hasn't changed much. He is all facts, all detail, all seriousness. Mr. Dresow has an innate sense of what is fair - and what is not - ALL within the law. He can help you regardless of your situation, but within reality and the law. To me, results within the law are very important, and Mr. Dresow HAS delivered! But equally importantly (and extremely important and impressive) to me is his making himself available to his client! Charles Dresow is NOT your typical self-important, pompous defense attorney; he is the kind of attorney who is there FOR YOU! All given the fact that he comes from a very impressive line of excellent attorneys. Charles Dresow was born, educated, and bred, to continue to keep alive State/Federal laws, our Constitution and Bill of Rights, to defend all of us Americans from unjust, abusive, or even discriminatory accusations. You know, the way our forefathers intended. Thank you now, and forever, Mr. Dresow. Godspeed to you and yours!

Matt brings to the table deep relationship, angles and perspective that are rare and unique as a seasoned - experienced attorney. He has a unique background of being a successful prosecutor and AMAZING defense attorney. Even rarer, he provides a element of human care for his clients that shows non-judgment and help that presented me a way through an extremely complex and difficult situation. He brought solutions in my case and visited me in Jail multiple times at the height of a pandemic. Where most were uncertain and running the other way..Matt was unwavering and always there. Scary times for the world and my situation.. He goes above and beyond thinking of your well being foremost. Not only did he breath life into me by this, but He played a huge role in lifting me out a very bad place of unprecedented time when it seemed I didn't have a Hail Mary. He truly was an answer to a prayer and he worked exhaustively and relentlessly when so much seemed impossible, restricted and in shambles which was my life and the world.. He provided in my case real productive solutions/guidance that helped assure all parties involved of a good outcome. With his element of knowledge and extensive background of expert work in this field he made more than I could ask happen. Doors I thought forever closed and things impossible he achieved Mercy was afforded in my case that today brings me a brighter future that was almost completely lost without him. For his work I'm forever grateful and lucky to have got him to my defense. Hire him if you can. He is the real deal When all was failing and turmoil thanks for all you did/do and never gave up With love and deep respect Forever and always, Cameron

Choosing Kunes Law Office was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Despite being out of the states, my experience with them, particularly with Patrick, was nothing short of exceptional. Patrick was incredibly fast and efficient in retrieving the documents I requested, a testament to their professionalism and dedication to client service. What stood out the most was the communication. Despite the distance and potential time zone differences, Patrick made it feel as though those barriers didn’t exist. Communication was swift through emails and Zoom calls, ensuring that I was always in the loop and well-informed about the progress of my case. It’s rare to find such dedication and efficiency in today’s world, and Kunes Law Office, especially Patrick, really went above and beyond.

My credit score was TransUnion 510 (FICO8) in Dec 2023, Equifax 490 (FICO8) in Dec2023, Experian 470 (FICO8) in Dec 2023. Had a milestone $700, Cap 1 plat secured $1000, a random store card for $300. I was looking for a way to raise my credit score. I read an article here about a deep web credit hacker called PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST. I contacted him and it was like magic, this dude raised my credit score to TransUnion 805, Equifax 808, and Experian 811 and created an excellent credit history on my report.

My DUI case was very delicate and complicated concerning use of prescribed medications while driving. It wasn't a normal scenario whatsoever and he was able to get me a favorable outcome. I did not get charged with DUI or loose my license. Rather I agreed to a 3 year diversion program that required me to continue with monthly psychiatric therapy, random drug testing and recovery classes. This was much more helpful to my unique circumstances than me loosing my license, having a huge fine and therefore unable to afford private therapy as I have no medical insurance. Instead he worked the prosecutors DA and the judge to reach a more helpful outcome that would benefit my health physically and mentally and not set me back any further than the recent traumatic experiences and stressors had already done. He worked diligently, keep me well informed and appeared in court without me on all but 2 occasions as I live 3 hours away from Shasta County. This was a tremendous help financially. His rates were more than affordable and fair and I believe he genuinely cared and understood the bigger picture at hand. His assistant was very helpful and pleasant to work with and they made it easy for me to get the required documentation to them well before my court dates. I really appreciate his help. It made a huge difference in my life and the outcome was more of a help than a burden. It restored my faith in the justice system as there were some mistakes made by law enforcement in my case and the outcome could have been a major setback. He was through, competent and determined to get a helpful favorable outcome for me. He is wonderful, caring and serious. If you need representation for a unique complicated case, I would recommend Geoff and his law office. He even traveled all the way to Redding from Chico to handle my case. I couldn't be more thankful, after 1 year of diversion compliance and progress, the DA and judge agreed to dismiss all the charges. Amen What a lesson learned.

My company was downsizing and as a senior employee at retirement age, I lost my job. Knowing that I could not continue paying the high-cost permanent alimony that the court ordered years ago, I needed help. Remembering that a friend highly recommended Attorney Bill Dorsey, I scheduled a consultation. There was a fee, but it was worth it because “you get what you pay for”. I hired Bill and I am extremely fortunate that I did. He led throughout the entire process, and was assisted by team members Sue and Erica. When you hire The Dorsey Law Firm, they are genuinely interested in your case and are extremely helpful. Requests were promptly managed, and the team ALWAYS kept me informed on the status of current proceedings or actions. Impressive! At Mediation, a remarkably successful resolution was reached. I could not be happier! Bill Dorsey is Outstanding! YOU NEED his subject knowledge and strategic recommendations. If you want the best outcome for any court issue, call Bill Dorsey.

Mr Dorsey and his team helped dig me out of the messy trench my last 2 lawyers had left me in. I can’t begin to explain how bad my first few lawyers had screwed up my case and made me look bad against an abusive drug addict narcissist who could charm the pant suit off Hilary Clinton. Mr Dorsey took on my case and for the first time I actually felt like I could trust my lawyer. Unlike my last attorney who charged me an insane amount of money to screw me over, Mr Dorsey gave me a free consultation and always charged me honestly and fairly. He gave me his personal cell number for emergencies and him and his team were always very responsive to my calls and emails. He fought tooth and nail against one of the most dishonest and corrupt opposing councils I have ever seen! He is well known and honored around Jacksonville and St Augustine by many other esteemed lawyers and judges. If you are in need of a good, honest attorney who will fight for you as if you were his own family, you need to hire Bill Dorsey and his team. He is tough and does not give up. Believe me, I probably had the largest case file he had ever taken on in a civil case and he took the time to go over all of it so he didn’t miss a thing. He is stern but honest so listen to his advice because he knows what he is talking about. I can only say that about 1 other lawyer and I have met way more than I ever wanted to. If you are like me and can’t trust your lawyer and have been paying someone and trusting them with your life but all they seem to do is ignore you and take your money: HIRE BILL DORSEY and he will help you get your life (your child/children) back!

No one really wants to go through any family/custody battles. So when I was faced with this issues I had no choice but to retain an attorney. After numerous hours/days of research I found the Dorsey Law Firm. I came to Mr. Dorsey with a lot of uncertainty with my impending custody case. During my consultation Mr. Dorsey was fully tuned in and very attentive. He answered every question I had very confidently. After I retained Mr. Dorsey, his team and himself started working on the case promptly. They filed an emergency motion and was able to get a hearing for temporary custody within a few weeks. I was granted temporary custody until the outcome of the final hearing. In Preparation for the final hearing Mr. Dorsey and the team were with me every step of the way. They reassured me of the potential outcome, instilled confidence in myself and the direction of the case. During the final hearing Mr. Dorsey was very thorough, firm, and fully prepared. His cross examination skills, rebuttals, presentation, and delivery was superb. As a result, I was grant 75% percent of time sharing. I have never felt better and once again I was stress free. Mr. Dorsey is Very professional and has many years of experience with a great rapport with the judges, prosecutors and other attorneys. He’s very firm, straightforward, and passionate about his work and clients. He is well known and well respected amongst his peers. His resume speaks for itself. A big shout out to The Dorsey team. Susan and Heather. They are very hard working, detail oriented, & very professional. They truly care about people. Stop shopping for attorneys based on price.

I called and spoke with a few lawyers the same day that I received my citations and I ultimately decided to meet with Shane Goudas as he was able to meet with me only an hour after the call on a Friday night. Where others only wanted to speak for around 10 minutes over the phone as a consultation, Shane blocked out an hour for us to speak in person and go over the events. After consulting with him, I was impressed by his knowledge, care, and attention to detail and decided to go with him. I did not need to go to trial as the matter was resolved favorably and far better than expected thanks to him. My several citations were reduced down to only one of the smaller ones.

I came to Raghebi Law after receiving a citation for 12 mph over the speed limit. After some short conversations, they had my citation converted to a non-moving violation with no points assessed on my license! I highly recommend Raghebi Law and would gladly use them again in the future!

I hired Mr. Jones to represent me in traffic court for a summons which required an appearance. I reside out of state making this an issue and a video appearance was arranged. Doug met with the prosecutor on my behalf and worked out a plea for a lessor offense and no points on my license. He guided me through the process and made it easy. I highly recommend him and would readily use him again should the need for an attorney arise in the future.

I highly recommend John as an exceptional DUI lawyer. Before I even reached out, I received numerous positive recommendations about him. From my initial contact, John was responsive and attentive, listening carefully to my situation with genuine empathy. He was clear about what he could and couldn’t promise, providing transparent guidance throughout the process. Dealing with a DUI while managing personal crises, including my father's hospice care and my mother's dementia, was incredibly challenging. John’s sincere care and his focus on what was realistically achievable made a significant difference. He guided me through every step, from counseling to volunteer work, and his advice proved invaluable. John’s expertise was evident when he successfully handled my DMV hearing. He then achieved a remarkable result in the criminal court, securing a reduced charge that was better than expected. This outcome allows me a fresh start. John's professionalism, honesty, and dedication were beyond my expectations. His hard work has given me a second chance, and I am deeply grateful for his support and the outstanding results he delivered.

I was falsely accused of a crime I didn’t commit all because the other party wanted my house. I was arrested on false charges and lost my career. I met with many attorneys but when I met with Shane, he already had the affidavit, knew who my case was assigned to, and was negotiating with the prosecution to not file. I haven’t even hired this man yet, and he was already working to get this resolved. He listened to my story and believed in my case. At one point a deal was presented and I didn’t know what to do. Shane said the easiest thing for him would be for me to accept, but that’s not what I hired him for, I hired him to do what was best for me and that’s exactly what he was going to do, so I didn’t accept. After 10 months of my case getting pushed back, no charges were filed and my case was dismissed. Shane works hard for his clients to get the best outcome possible. No matter how early or late I emailed him, Shane picked up and responded. Shane will be the only attorney I will use or recommend to anyone. If you’re reading this review and are in a bad situation with the law, no doubt Shane is your best option and will take care of you.

Unfortunately i found myself on the wrong side of the law in benton county after taking necessary action to defend myself and a third party. I was arrested and wrongly charged with a malicious amount of felony charges that i was innocent of. Long story short, shane took the time to listen to my side of the story. Although he was skeptical of the case, he accepted my case, and believed my side the story. Had i been charged with all 12 felonious accusations, i have no doubt i would be sitting in prison right now. I took a huge loss. Lost my home, business, assets, and nearly my whole mind funding my fight of being wrongly accused in benton county. I never spoke a word to the judge. Less than 10 court dates later, charges are dismissed, and my case is closed. Theres no question who to call for a high level case. He has my vote every time. He is worth every penny, becuase he earns every one of them.

From our very first meeting, I thought Valerie would be an excellent choice for my divorce lawyer. I was right. She guided me through the entire process and provided helpful advice whenever I needed it. And I needed it a lot. She took her time to explain things so that I understood them clearly. All my questions were answered. When it came time to go to court, her preparation was excellent, she what questions to ask, and she got me a great outcome, even better than I thought would happen.

Trey is an excellent attorney. My husband was facing a felony charge for a non-violent marijuana related crime with a possible prison sentence of eight years. Trey was able to negotiate an interstate compact deal for probation. He is well respected by judges and district attorneys. He cares about his clients. He made us feel confident throughout this anxious process and to be quite honest saved our family. Can’t recommend him enough.

Earlier this year I was arrested for a crime I did not commit. I was facing a long time in prison if I was convicted. We had a jury trial and the jury found me “not guilty” thanks to Trey. He did a perfect job. He spent a lot of time and effort into building everything up to help me out. There wasn’t a single mistake or flaw in anything he did in and out of the courtroom.

In 2011, I screwed up and drove under the influence. 2 months later, I discovered I was pregnant. Just picture going through the criminal justice system as someone that was drunk, WITH A BABY BUMP. Horrifying. I was so ashamed and terrified that I’d be waddling my way around jail, or unable to drive my newborn to dr appointments because I’d have no license. My dad (another Fresno attorney- civil, not criminal) hauled me to go see Chuck- and THANK GOD HE DID. My anxiety level was through the roof, and Chuck instantly calmed me down. He listened to every word, then explained in detail not only how things would go, but also his strategy that he’d devised after hearing what I wanted. He ensured that I’d be proactive in my behaviors prior to court (like attending meetings, going to classes, etc) and I left his office genuinely feeling like everything may not be great, but it would be okay. He made sure I never had to appear in court heavily pregnant, and when my son was born, I was fully able to handle all his care and dr appointments/transportation. Chuck had my back fully and saved my future, as well as my son’s. No amount of thanks is enough!

Whether a serious traffic case, a drug matter or anything in between, I have the utmost confidence that he will do his best to ensure the best possible outcome.

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.
