Attorney Beechler made my difficult situation way easier to handle. He shows that he truly cares. If I ever had a question he has always been easy to get ahold of and he’s very communicative. He will make sure to get the best possible outcome for your case.

If you’re reading this page like I was several months ago you’ve probably found yourself in a tight spot. Trying to determine the right attorney for your matter can be difficult, but it can make a huge difference in your life. Personally, I had no idea who to go with initially based off internet research, until I spoke with Mr. Rubenstein. I had entered a new reality the night I was arrested and was not familiar with justice system nor its processes, terms/language, or timelines. Mr. Rubenstein explained everything upfront with clear language, detailing challenges and outcomes. Don’t expect your problem to go away over night as legal matters tend to move at their own pace. Your attorney can only do so much for you, it’s important to note your behavior and attitude can go a long way with the courts even before your initial appearance. So be patient and keep a level head. With that being said, given the facts of my case, Mr. Rubenstein was able to mitigate the trouble I caused myself to where I will only have a small blemish on my record compared to what I was facing. I would say he did a great job working with both myself and the courts to obtain a favorable outcome. Hopefully I will never need him again, but should that day happen I would call him again.

When I needed legal representation, a mutual friend recommended Scott. Although the case was not convoluted, it was considered criminal under OHIO law. Having Scott representing me during this stressful time, definitely diminished the burden. During our first informal phone conversation, Scott clearly laid out all steps of the process and then followed them until the successful resolution of the case. Throughout the process, I could count on Scott’s professionalism, patience and respectfulness that extends not just to his clients, but visibly to other people he interacts with professionally.

We hired Scott to handle my son's DUI case. There was a mental health aspect to his case and Scott dealt with it with compassion and respect. His knowledge of the legal system when it comes to DUI cases is incredible then add mental health to that and Scott knew exactly what to do! He was able to get my son's DUI amended due to his mental health aspect. I do not believe other lawyers would have taken these extra steps. I am forever grateful to Scott for taking our case and being so diligent in the process!

Sam played a critical role in protecting my acupuncture license. Apart from his foresight, understanding of the law as well as the intricacies of the administrative process - he has the ability to listen and understand different circumstances/cultures/backgrounds in formulating his legal theory and strategic counsel is what sets him apart. You can find lawyers anywhere, but you can't find one that really wants to listen and follows up and see through the entire process. Everything in relation to my license ended up working out and Sam played a huge role in ensuring that this was the outcome. Can't thank him enough and hopefully - everyone can feel confident in turning to Sam when in need.

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. .....

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!

After falling victim to an arrest for an OUI, Attorney Nicholas Howie was immediately recommended to me from someone who had successfully worked with him in clearing a past OUI off their own record. Not only was Nick easy to contact, but he was able to be in court for me the very next day. I felt confident after our first interaction based on how knowledgeable Nick was and the level of experience he’s had with cases like mine. He was thorough in explaining the process and transparent with all possible outcomes, so that I could appropriately set my expectations. He was able to communicate clearly and respond to all my questions in a timely manner, whether at our in-person meetings or through a quick phone call/ text message. Not only was he able to settle my concerns, but also guide me through the harder steps, like encouraging me to read the arrest report and watching the body cam footage, so that I wouldn’t be surprised if it was shown in the courtroom. The highlight of my experience was watching Nick slay in the courtroom. He was fully prepared, and refreshed and up to date with the evidence in my case, despite several months passing by. Although I was understandably nervous, I went in feeling confident because of how included I was in my case. I could not have asked for a better, more successful experience.

Today I'm writing a review for someone who basically saved my life. I am a professional who started a career at a young age. Became a first responded right out of high school 30 years ago. My career has allowed me to help many people who were sick or injured, and I will humbley say that I have had the opportunity to know the feeling of saving a human life, and I have the awards to show for it. But last fall I encountered a legal issue that jeopardized my career and my financial stability. I decided I needed without any doubt to hire a lawyer who would literally hold my life in her hands. I have made many difficult decisions throughout my life and this decision now, was one that will determine how my life will be when all the legal issues were settled. Stevie Phillips was the lawyer I decided to trust with my life. Stevie immediately set up an appointment so we could meet, and discuss the options I had. She always answered my calls or texts as soon as she was able. In the end, charges were reduced and she was the one who save my life. I just want to give a big thank you to Stevie! If you have a legal issue, and are scared like I was, you need a lawyer that has the experience that Stevie has!

He recommended I take the deal, which I did. But I remember very well he added if I did 2 years of the 5 years’ probation he would work to get me released sooner. Inside, I didn’t believe that would happen and he wasn’t being honest. But 2 years later to the date he followed through, and I was released from probation. And what a relief. Not being worried all the time. Yes, I had things to do on my end to make that happen. But I go to enough AA meetings and hear of similar offers people get and their lawyers do not follow through. Even when the person does their part. That is why I was lucky (grateful) to have him. That look he gave me in my eyes was sincere, even though at the time I wasn’t believing it.

Ryan was such a god-send to us when my minor daughter found herself in an unfortunate legal situation that could have had serious repercussions for her future. From the beginning, Ryan made us feel more calm and in-control of the situation. He was always available when there was a new development in the case, or we had questions. He also did a great job communicating with my daughter and making sure she understood the situation and what was expected of her. Ryan knew all the players and was able to negotiate the best outcome that we could have hoped for. We are so thankful to have had Ryan on our side during this stressful time.

Andrew Jezic was retained based on the recommendation of a highly respected attorney who stated “as a prosecutor going into a jury trial the last defense attorney I would want to be looking at is Andrew Jezic”. Andy surrounded me with the finest group of people including Gary Smith and Matthias Meuwissen who with his leadership upheld their professionalism, knowledge, ethics and compassion for my wife and I through the worst time of our lives. Everyone wants to win but Andy and his team are willing to work tirelessly to prepare to win for you. Andy is an attorney who conducts himself as a gentleman at all times who will turn into a shark for you if it is appropriate. At the end of the jury trial and I was acquitted of all charges I was asked if Andy was as good as I thought he would be. My response was I had no idea that good existed.

Debra White is a magnificent criminal defense attorney. Throughout an uphill long battle I had with a severe personal matter. Debra was able to communicate to the justice system with what is true and what was not. She was able to navigate in a precise manner while utilizing laws that have passed recently in our favor. Debra communicates on a timely manner dependent on your situation and would never leave you in tight spot where you are left high and dry like most of many attorneys. I have already recommended her to a great family friend of mine which she has already produced amazing results for. Debra is really on top of her practice. I am happy to say I would voice or refer this law office to anyone! Debra thank you for all you have done for me & my family.

Super Lawyer Debra S. White is personable, professional, and communicates clearly to her client, their family and the court. She always appears in court prepared--and she never drops the ball. Observing her in court hearings, even when seemingly nothing of import was happening, Debra set the case groundwork and pushed the pea forward towards her envisioned positive outcome. Our family witnessed, time and again, Debra's extraordinary facility in dealing with a sometimes semi-hostile court environment. Her body language is confidant, always accompanied by a big smile: she's on, she is ready, and you understand you're in the very best of hands. She won our case. Michelle H.

I am 100% sure that he produces the best outcomes—on a case by case basis depending on the circumstances. He is reliable, knows criminal law well, and is definitely an attorney you want representing you or a family member criminal matters. But don’t get in trouble so you don’t have to call Mr. Donnelly.

What a Federal Crime Lawyer Can Do for You

A federal crime lawyer specializes in defending individuals or organizations accused of violating federal laws. These lawyers have experience navigating the complex federal criminal justice system, which includes higher penalties, stricter sentencing guidelines, and a different court system than state-level crimes. Federal crime lawyers defend clients against a wide range of charges, such as drug trafficking, white-collar crimes, fraud, conspiracy, gun violations, and more. They assist in every phase of the legal process, from investigation to trial and appeals, ensuring their clients' rights are protected.

If you’re facing federal criminal charges, a federal crime lawyer can provide the necessary defense and expertise to navigate the complexities of federal law and achieve the best possible outcome.

When Should I Hire a Federal Crime Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a federal crime lawyer in any situation where you are under investigation or have been charged with a federal crime. Key scenarios include:

  • Charged with a federal crime: If you’ve been charged with a federal offense, such as drug trafficking, wire fraud, money laundering, or conspiracy, hiring a federal crime lawyer is essential to ensure your defense is tailored to federal court procedures and laws.
  • Target of a federal investigation: If you are being investigated by federal agencies like the FBI, DEA, ATF, or IRS, it’s crucial to retain a lawyer early on. A lawyer can help you avoid self-incrimination and build a defense strategy to counter the investigation.
  • White-collar crimes: If you’ve been accused of federal white-collar crimes such as securities fraud, embezzlement, or insider trading, a lawyer can help defend you against charges brought by federal prosecutors and regulatory agencies like the SEC.
  • Drug-related charges: If you’re facing federal drug charges, such as possession, distribution, or trafficking of controlled substances, a lawyer can represent you in federal court and negotiate plea deals or challenge the prosecution’s case.
  • Gun-related offenses: If you’ve been charged with federal gun crimes, including illegal possession, trafficking, or using a firearm during a violent crime, a federal crime lawyer can help defend against harsh federal penalties.
  • Immigration-related crimes: Federal charges involving immigration violations, such as human trafficking, smuggling, or illegal re-entry after deportation, require specialized legal knowledge of both federal criminal law and immigration law.
  • Appeals: If you’ve been convicted of a federal crime and are seeking to appeal the conviction or sentence, a federal crime lawyer can assist with the appeals process, focusing on legal errors or issues that may have occurred during the trial.

Hiring a lawyer as soon as you know you are under investigation or charged with a federal crime gives you the best chance of protecting your rights and building a strong defense.

What Does a Federal Crime Lawyer Do?

A federal crime lawyer provides a wide range of legal services to defend individuals and organizations accused of federal crimes. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Defending clients in federal court: Federal crime lawyers represent clients in all stages of federal criminal proceedings, including pre-trial motions, plea negotiations, trials, and sentencing hearings.
  • Building a defense strategy: Lawyers thoroughly investigate the charges, review the prosecution’s evidence, and develop a defense strategy tailored to the unique aspects of federal law and sentencing guidelines.
  • Negotiating plea deals: In some cases, a lawyer may negotiate with federal prosecutors to reduce charges or penalties, potentially avoiding a lengthy trial and reducing sentencing.
  • Handling federal investigations: If you are the subject of a federal investigation, a lawyer will guide you on how to interact with federal agents, respond to subpoenas, and handle potential interrogations, ensuring your rights are not violated.
  • Filing pre-trial motions: Federal crime lawyers can file motions to suppress evidence, dismiss charges, or challenge the legality of the investigation or arrest, aiming to weaken the prosecution’s case before trial.
  • Representing clients in appeals: If you’ve been convicted, a federal crime lawyer can represent you in the appeals process, focusing on legal errors, misconduct, or constitutional issues that may have affected the trial’s outcome.
  • Managing sentencing and post-conviction matters: Lawyers also help clients during the sentencing phase, arguing for leniency or alternatives to imprisonment, and assist with post-conviction matters such as parole or supervised release violations.

How Are Federal Crime Lawyers Paid?

Federal crime lawyers typically charge for their services in various ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the expected time commitment. Common payment structures include:

  • Hourly rate: Many federal crime lawyers charge by the hour, with rates typically ranging from $300 to $1,000 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience, the case complexity, and geographic location.
  • Flat fee: For specific services, such as negotiating a plea deal or representing you during the initial stages of a federal investigation, some lawyers offer a flat fee. Flat fees for federal criminal defense cases often range from $5,000 to $25,000, depending on the scope of the work.
  • Retainer: In complex federal cases, a lawyer may require a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers a portion of the legal work. The lawyer then bills against this retainer as they work on the case. Retainers typically range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the case.
  • Payment plans: Some federal crime lawyers may offer payment plans, especially if the case involves extended litigation or lengthy appeals. This can help make legal fees more manageable over time.

It’s crucial to discuss fees with your lawyer upfront to understand the total cost of representation and how payments will be handled throughout the case.

How Much Does a Federal Crime Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a federal crime lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the time required to resolve the case. General cost estimates include:

  • Hourly rates: Federal crime lawyers generally charge between $300 and $1,000 per hour. For example, if a lawyer charges $500 per hour and spends 50 hours on your case, the total cost would be $25,000.
  • Flat fees: For simpler cases, such as negotiating a plea deal, flat fees can range from $5,000 to $25,000 or more, depending on the seriousness of the charges and the lawyer’s experience.
  • Retainers: In more complex or ongoing cases, a lawyer may require a retainer of $10,000 to $100,000, depending on the case’s scope and complexity.
  • Appeals: If you’re appealing a federal conviction, legal fees for an appeal can range from $10,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the issues being raised and the length of the appellate process.

In addition to legal fees, you may also need to cover additional costs such as court filing fees, expert witness fees, and investigation expenses.

Before hiring a federal crime lawyer, it’s essential to ask key questions to ensure they have the necessary experience and qualifications to handle your case. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with federal cases?
    Ensure the lawyer has extensive experience handling federal criminal cases, particularly those similar to yours, such as drug trafficking, white-collar crimes, or gun violations.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost of your defense.
  3. What are the possible outcomes of my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment of your case and the potential outcomes, including plea deals, dismissals, or trial strategies.
  4. What is your approach to defending federal cases?
    Ask how the lawyer plans to approach your defense, including potential pre-trial motions, negotiations with federal prosecutors, or trial strategies.
  5. Will my case go to trial?
    Ask whether the lawyer thinks your case will settle out of court through a plea deal or whether it’s expected to go to trial, and how the lawyer will prepare for either scenario.
  6. How long will my case take?
    Federal cases can take time to resolve, so ask the lawyer for an estimated timeline, from investigation to trial or settlement.
  7. What are the possible penalties if convicted?
    Ask about the potential penalties you could face if convicted, including prison time, fines, or other consequences, and how the lawyer plans to mitigate those penalties.

How to Check the Credibility of a Federal Crime Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable federal crime lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:

  • Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no disciplinary actions or complaints.
  • Look for federal crime experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in federal criminal defense and have successfully handled cases like yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the lawyer.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on federal cases.
  • Check for federal court admissions: Make sure the lawyer is admitted to practice in federal court, as federal criminal cases are handled in federal district courts.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a federal crime lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Information about the charges or investigation: Provide any documents related to the charges against you, such as indictments, subpoenas, or notices of investigation. This helps the lawyer assess the severity of the charges and the potential defense strategy.
  • Details of previous interactions with federal agents: If federal agents have contacted you or conducted searches, provide a detailed account of those interactions, including search warrants, interrogations, or evidence seized.
  • Questions about your case: Prepare a list of questions regarding the legal process, potential outcomes, and how the lawyer plans to defend you.
  • Relevant financial information: If your case involves financial crimes or assets that may be at risk, bring relevant financial records, such as bank statements, business records, or tax returns.
  • Previous legal history: If you have a prior criminal record or have been involved in federal investigations before, bring details about those cases.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal defense for your federal case.
