The Yoon Law Firm assisted me a few years ago. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the phenomenal customer service experience that they have provided me. All the staff were extremely caring, kind, and passionate. Based off of my experience, I feel that they care about each and everyone of their clients that they work with. I was extremely satisfied with the results and outcome and thanks again for their tireless efforts and compassion to ensure that I was taken care of. It is not easy to find people who are genuine and caring, but I am so blessed that I had the opportunity to have this law firm assist me. I would truly from the bottom of my heart recommend this law firm to anyone who needs any assistance based on their specialties.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Ms. Nicole Walker regarding a probate estate matter, and I cannot recommend her enough! She was incredibly kind and patient, taking the time to thoroughly explain all of my options in a way that was easy to understand. What truly stood out to me was her genuine compassion and professionalism. Navigating legal matters, especially something as complex as probate, can be overwhelming, but Ms. Walker made the process feel manageable and less intimidating. She was attentive to my concerns and ensured I felt heard every step of the way. If you're looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, approachable, and truly cares about her clients, Ms. Walker is an excellent choice. I’m so grateful for her guidance and support!

I can't say enough about the Suzuki Law Firm and the fantastic Lawyer who saved my life. Sean McNally literally saved my life, without him I would've lost everything I loved. When you must face the mighty machine we call the "justice system" you need a great Lawyer who will fight for you and fight against the dishonest and dishonorable people who desire to incarcerate you. I'm alive because of Sean McNally and his amazing colleagues at the Suzuki Law Firm. Don't face the machine alone! You will need these highly trained and educated professionals to get you the best possible result for whatever criminal case you are dealing with. My situation was so hopeless and yet these people saved me. I urge anyone who reads this to hire this Firm and Mr Sean McNally in particular because he and this mighty Law Firm won't let you down. I am living proof of their amazing work.

I would like to thank Suzuki Law Firm for resolving my daughter, Pamela's cases. She had a coupe of difficult cases against her and starting with Mr Suzuki who answererd all questions including answering calls in the weekend or after hours, he and his team were all Amazing! Pamela was assigned to Colin D. O'Sullivan and Colin was very professional, proficient and caring! He immediately went to work and I was amazed at how quickly several charges were dropped! Had Pamela not had the correct legal assistance, I am sure that her fate would have been very different. I am so thankful for the outcome of her cases and even to the end, Colin continued to help us resolve incorrect paperwork from the clerks' office. Thank you Colin and Suzuki Law Firm for all your help! Extremely appreciative. Sandra Esquivias

While I did not personally hire Kirsten to assume my case, my brief interface with her was atomic. From her website alone, I quickly gathered her polished professionalism to separate her from most others. Kirsten's response to my time-sensitive inquiry was instant, and her gentle, unassuming guidance was rock-solid. I did not feel dismissed or invisible, rather I felt safe and cradled by her knowledge-of-law, peppered with a dash of humanity. If I were in a financial position to have elected her for my case, then I would have had zero reservations doing so. There are always exceptions to every generality, and my hunches were effortlessly reinforced. A sound lawyer combines art with science, strategy with knowledge. Kirsten checks all boxes. Highly impactful!

I cannot speak highly enough of Kirstin Wilson Law and her incredible team of paralegals, Amanda and Nicole. They were an absolute godsend when they took over my case last minute after my previous attorney left his practice. From the moment Kirstin stepped in, I knew I was in good hands. Kirstin's knowledge of NH State and Federal Law is nothing short of impressive. She was able to see through the complexities of my situation and quickly identified how my ex-wife was manipulating the legal system to her advantage. It was like she could read between the lines and anticipate every move before it even happened. Throughout the entire process, Kirstin kept me informed and explained everything thoroughly. Her communication skills are top-notch, and I always felt well-informed and empowered to make the right decisions. The confidence and experience she exudes are truly remarkable. What sets Kirstin apart is her sheer willpower and determination to fight for her clients' freedom and rights. I felt like she was genuinely invested in my case, and that motivated her to go above and beyond to uncover the truth and ensure justice prevailed. If you find yourself in a tough legal situation, and you think no one can find the truth or protect your interests, I can confidently say that Kirstin Wilson Law is the firm you need. They are a powerhouse team, and I am forever grateful for their support during one of the most challenging times of my life. Thank you, Kirstin, Amanda, and Nicole, for your exceptional work! ---Brock K.

Well, let me start off by saying Mr Prestia is the best Lawyer I could have asked for, was recommended to him through a family member. As soon as I walked in for the consultation I knew he would be the perfect lawyer to take on my case. He knew and said from the beginning that it would be hard to prove my innocence knowing what they had against me but even with that information he told me he would fight till the end and that is exactly what he did. He did it all quickly too never had a single problem when going into the courtrooms and speaking with the DA he sorted everything out for me all I had to do was tell the DA what happened that day of the incident. We met with the DA once and that first time it didn't go so smoothly they were not going to give me a plea bargain, he told me to not worry and that he would speak with them to try to get me another meeting with them and he did that exactly, ended up speaking with them and ultimately we settled with a plea bargain. no criminal record only a violation. No lawyer I know would have tried to fight this that much and get me another meeting with the DA for a second time what was most likely going to happen was going to trial but Mr Prestia was set on not taking this to trial since it could go 50/50 in favor or not in favor of me. Thankfully in the end it all worked out and the charges were dropped after taking the plea bargain. No criminal record is what he wanted to achieve for me and that's exactly what we got. I really do recommend this lawyer to anyone who is in need of one, Mr Prestia is really understanding. If I ever need a lawyer in the future I'm definitely coming to him first.

Finding an attorney to fight for you the way you deserve to be fought for is not an easy feat. That was my first experience before meeting with Mr. Prestia, as a young black latino from the projects looking to get justice from the NYPD. The task seemed impossible but the raw experience and passion Mr. Prestia has had for me and my case has put me in a place of gratitude, peace, and closure. When hiring Paul, understand that you are getting someone who is relentless in seeking you relief and resources for whatever nightmare you’re going through. Paul would answer any question at any time of the day/night, and would always check in at some point to update me about my case or my thoughts on certain matters pertaining to my case. He also took out the necessary time to reach out to journalists, in which he was able to tell my story to the world and get the right attention to my case so the right people can support me. Due to this, we were able stay on the same page throughout my case and get the results needed to truly say I was able to get a form of justice that has helped me move past some of my traumatic experiences and look forward to my life. Three years after hiring Mr. Prestia, I am more than grateful for all he was able to do for me and my life and I am more than certain he will and can do the same for you!

The war on drugs is failing, and Jon Katz is one of its strongest adversaries. Jon had saved me once before, in a DUI that resulted in two possession charges (both of which were dismissed). During the end of my VASAP probation, I (in my opinion) was targeted by law enforcement in a traffic stop (where I was not the driver) that resulted in a public intoxication arrest with two possession charges, one a felony. Within a half hour of leaving Fairfax County Adult Detention Center, I had already notified Jon’s assistant that I needed a consultation with Jon. Just shy of a couple days later, I was in his office near the courthouse. When I described my predicament, Jon told me of how his teachers in grade school used to get annoyed of him. One told him he’d be a great defense lawyer. “Dismiss, dismiss, dismiss” he said. He assured me these charges, which resulted in a probation violation, would be dismissed. Fast forward to February of 2025, I had completed Jon’s recommended “homework plan” and I was primed for court. The day of the pre-trial hearing, I walked into the courthouse feeling, as though the case was already over, that I had enlisted the help of the best legal defense I could possibly get, and the outcome was evident. All three charges were dismissed, and I am no longer on probation. The euphoria of freedom, I feel days after court. And it is all thanks to the experience, connections, and expertise of Jon Katz. In the hour before court, I walked around the courthouse, feeling as if I wasn’t there as a criminal, but rather a member of society. For anyone reading this that may be in a legal situation, by fault or not, guilty or innocent, you have a place and purpose in life. Hiring Jon Katz is an important first step in reclaiming your dreams and ambitions for the future and life at large. Keep your head up, stay silent, and call Jon Katz!

Dear Mr. Katz, You have been a true lifesaver, and I cannot thank you enough for your dedication and legal expertise. Your hard work and persistence gave me hope and fair chance, and I will always to be grateful for everything you have done. Mr. Katz goes beyond to beat the prosecution and very professional. I was so stressed out and worried to death on my case, but Mr. Katz made everything smooth, and outcome was great. My first DUI charge was dropped to Reckless driving and no jail time. If you are in need of DUI or reckless driving attorney, I highly recommend hiring Mr. Katz to resolve your case. Thank you, Sir!

We hired Richard Rice to represent our daughter in a Misdemeanor Charge for driving without insurance. While this type of defense work is well short of the types of defense Richard typically handles he accepted the work after we explained that any finding against our daughter could adversely affecther teaching career and credentials. Richard and his firm were with our daughter every step of the way offering support and confidence that the charges could be dropped because she had inadvertently failed to transfer the insurance coverage after purchasing a new car several months earlier. He was able to have the charge dismissed securing her future and receiving her of a very stressful situation. The work was professional and expedient with minimal disruption to her own work as a teacher.

Richard was able to get my criminal charges dismissed without me having to go to court. Richard was comforting and supportive throughout the entire process.

Richard Canlas, Esq., turns the worst day of your life into the best day of your life. This is second time I’ve retained him legally, and God willing will be the last time I need to, but I know Who I’m going to call without a moment hesitation, if it gets to the point where I need a legal represent again. If you get tangled up in the Texas legal system, even a little bit, even for something fairly innocuous, and you care about your reputation, then the money spent with him is well placed. There’s some truth to the old saying that you get what you pay for but with Richard you always get a little bit extra and you won’t be disappointed. I highly recommend him. I’ve known him for decades and he knows the system up there in Conroe, and he knows where to apply pressure and when to apply pressure and I think that if I aspired to be a lawyer, he would be One of my role models! Sincerely, RC

I would highly recommend Ibrahim Dbouk if you are looking for anyone to represent you. He is a honest, hardworking, and professional attorney hands down. He helped me get my DUI felony expunged very quickly and efficiently. I never thought I would be able to get it expunged. He’s always there to help answer any questions and always ensured that I understood the process and potential outcomes. Thanks to him, I now have a clean skate to start from and new opportunities to explore. Immensely grateful!! Thanks Mr,Dbouk!

I am writing to express my gratitude for your support during a very challenging time in my life. Thanks to your knowledge and dedication, I am able to stay with my family and continue living my life outside of jail. Your commitment to my case, your strategic thinking, and your ability to navigate the complexities of the legal system were truly remarkable. You’re not only an amazing attorney but also an amazing person you offered reassurance and hope when mandy and I needed it most. Your hard work and determination have made an impact on my life, and for that, I am forever grateful. Thank you for EVERYTHING you have done for my family. Words can’t describe the impact you have had on my life. The amount of work you put in behind the scenes did not go unnoticed. Some clients may say the outcome is going to be the outcome no matter what but I disagree completely. My outcome was a direct reflection of you and I am so thankful to have had you as my attorney. Joe Nascimento is a name that will never be forgotten and forever be known as the man who saved my family.

Joe represented me in a sexual battery case. I lost almost everything due to the allegation, and I was facing a lot of years. But as a result of his hard work and dedication, I didn’t lose my freedom. There’s no doubt he’s a skilled attorney (his knowledge of the law is unrivaled, and his even demeanor is so reassuring for the jury), but where Joe really shined is his treatment of the client/defendant. He made me feel like a human being, when the entire system felt designed to take away my humanity. I don’t think I could have made it without him by my side for those 2 difficult years. Thank you Joe, from the bottom of my heart.

Had a close friend recommend Wes,reached out to him that night & received a phone call at 8am that morning. When I say this guy is on it,I mean he is literally ON IT! After our first conversation,I instantly knew that Wes was an honest man…very,very hard to find in this industry! From the minute Wes & Anne took over,I felt WAY more relaxed & confident that they had my stuff all under control. With my ex attorney,I was constantly on edge,stressed,nervous…you name it. After having switched,my family quickly caught drift on my stress levels going down,as well as me being able to rest more due to worrying less all thanks to Wes & Anne working efficiently & effectively!

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.

Top Questions to Ask a Federal Crime Lawyer

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.
