My experience was exceptional from beginning to end. Maria explained everything clearly and answered all of my questions. Her reaction when she handed me my permanent resident card will always be in my memory. She was extremely happy for me and you can easily tell she and all of her staff care deeply for their clients. Bet, was amazing, she always reassured me that my case would do good, she always reached out with updates and kept me calm. I can not thank both of them enough. I am just Overjoyed and Thankful.

Tessa Muir is a fantastic attorney who helped me navigate a challenging Title IX case. I was accused of writing a note and creating a hostile environment, but thanks to her expertise and tireless dedication, the case was ultimately dismissed by my college. From the start, she was thorough, strategic, and professional. She took the time to understand the specifics of my situation and built a strong defense on my behalf. Her communication skills and attention to detail were key in presenting my side clearly and effectively.

Maybe good at other law. Didnt see that with this criminal case. It was gonna a challenge but....$50,000 for taking the case and $27,000 for trial with just a 1/3 of the $27,000 returned after being convinced the Trial may not be the best route. Chewing gum & rocking in his chair at sentencing. Barely spoke to the Judge, his assistant. Sam did his work for him. ( She needs her own practice, having her own legal firm would be successful.) I don't understand the 4 stars either. And yes....still got the 10yr sentence. Hhhmmmm. Don't believe all the hype. Do ur homework because you will be doing his work for him. Don't sign anything his request without someone else reading it also. Clarity was a huge issue here.

Mr Parker always responds to my calls and text messages. His communication is excellent and prompt. He is an excellent, professional, patient and caring person. Mr. Parker advocated for me, fought for me and ultimately got my case dismissed. Do not think twice. I'm so grateful that I had Mr. Parker on my side. Such a wonderful outcome. Thank you Mr. Parker!

Best Attorney you'll EVER FIND,FOR A MALPRACTICE CASE!! He couldn't have worked any harder for me than he did! I ended up with him, on a whim of a recommendation from a different attorney after I'd been passed down to some new Atty that just wanted to get it settled,done and over, wanting me to settle for $11k total with him getting 40% of that & so on! Mike took me on,took his time to do it right 👍🏻 & I will tell you this much,the case ended up settling for a ton MORE! I can't disclose that, but he's well worth it 🤩

I can't speak to the other lawyers at this firm, but I had a very disturbing experience with Andrew Castle, who represented one of my friends in a relatively high profile case. Unfortunately, my friend was found guilty on all 7 counts. And my friend and I weren't really sure of what to do. I asked him if there was any way I could use my platform to try to help? And my friend said that it might help, but that we should first ask his lawyer Andrew, before doing anything. We had agreed that this was a good idea, and I sent an email asking what Andrew thought, making it very clear that I wouldn't do anything if that made him or my friend uncomfortable. When I asked Andrew if using my platform would be of any use, Andrew's response was very aggressive. I asked him why he was being aggressive, when I already had agreed to not doing anything that he didn't feel comfortable with. To my surprise, his response was to tell me to stop talking to his client, my friend, while he was in custody. It was a very jarring experience as I simply wanted to try to help my friend, and again, had no interest in doing anything that would make my friend or Andrew feel uncomfortable. I also found this to be very disturbing, as I imagine being in jail is tough, and someone in jail might want to have as many friends as possible to talk to. However, because I didn't want to further anger Andrew, I and others stopped talking to our friend until he was out of custody. I think that's an incredibly horrible and cruel position to put all of us in, as we simply wanted to provide emotional support throughout an incredibly tough time. I found Andrew to be extremely insecure, aggressive, and unprofessional. If you or someone you care about is going through a legal process, it's generally a very painful time, and having a lawyer lash out in these ways really adds to the stress of that. I would highly recommend finding a lawyer who can treat others in a professional manner, or at least with a kind mentality.

Barry went above and beyond in so many ways. As his client, I was expecting professionalism and efficiency - both of which he executed flawlessly. What I was not expecting was how well he not only managed my expectations of my case, but the extent to which he made me feel heard, believed in my innocence and how understanding he was of the mental health impact that my situation was having on me. He provided me with the perfect amount of urgency in getting on top of the matter while also providing a sense of calm to keep me level-headed. My case was immediately dismissed at pre-trial - all thanks to the level of attention to detail and the clarity in which he presented my case to the DA. I cannot recommend his services enough & am so thankful for all the work he did to return my life back to normal.

I wanted to write this review and recognize Attorney Joe Bugni and his assistant Trinity for their hard work and dedication in helping my wife and I. Navigating through the legal system can seem to be an overwhelming task. When my wife and I needed legal help we contacted Mr. Bugni for help. Mr. Bugni sat down with us, took notes, and devised a plan with his assistant Trinity on how best to address our situation. Mr. Bugni and Trinity talked to us like old friends, not attorney and clients, putting us very much at ease. As our case proceeded Trinity put together a timeline and outlined our case, so we could understand it. Trinity was always available and answered all questions we asked. Trinity and Mr. Bugni presented our case in terms that we could understand, which makes us feel better knowing what is happening. My wife and I strongly recommend Mr. Bugni and Trinity if you find yourself needing legal advice. They will take the time to sit down with you, listen, and provide a plan that you understand. Mr. Bugni and Trinity make themselves available, and answer any and all questions you may have. Thank you Mr. Bugni and Trinity for all of your help, and for taking time to help us navigate through the legal process. Scott and Tina

He answered all calls and questions my husband and I had before he took on the case and during the entirety of the case. Mr. Taylor was very knowledgeable he showed up on time for every court appearance was extremely professional. My case was ultimately dismissed which is very rare especially because CPS filed the charges against me. I really appreciate Mr.Taylor! I’m so glad to be back in New Orleans!

I was referred to Charles Thompson to represent me in court after my arrest in West University, Houston, TX. My court date came much more quickly than I had expected, so I called him the day before I was expected in court, and he began representing me. He was not pushy, but quickly and fully informed me of the levity of my situation. His retainer was more reasonable than other quotes I received. He helped me build a positive defense from day 1. He was also familiar with the court of West University and several prosecuting attorneys, so he confidently explained the process that he would go through in trying to resolve my case. I checked in with him once per week while attending college out of state. He inquired with West U and its attorneys about my case, view dashboard camera footage, and communicated all findings to me. A few months later, my case was dismissed and I never had to return to Houston or personally appear in court.

I couldn’t have asked for a better team to handle my case. I was nervous about my chances, but they put those worries to rest by building a strong, compelling case around my profile. They kept me updated every step of the way, and their responsiveness was incredible—every email I sent was answered within 15 minutes, always with clear and thoughtful explanations that addressed my questions fully. They made the whole process so much easier for me by handling most of the work and ensuring all the documents were perfectly prepared. I honestly can’t imagine getting better service anywhere else.

Joe is one of the best people to have in your corner. He represented my daughter, in a very rough case. He put in a lot of sweat and tears with her case, and always was there to ease her and my mind when things got rough. He took over after an attorney did her case wrongly, and he worked very hard toturn it around like it should have been. We thank Joe, and the lord for bringing him to us, and for getting us some peace of mind. Thank you Joe, we recommend Joe as one of the best attorneys! We didn't seem like just a case, he seemed to care about my daughter like one of his own family members. We thank God for Joe.

Joe is an extraordinary individual. I first came to know Joe 13 years ago in 2011 when he became involved in the case. During this time, he has proven himself to be a uniquely capable attorney as well as a man of outstanding character and integrity. Anyone criminally charged quickly learns the difficulties you are facing and disadvantage you are at. You find yourself having to defend against the state armed with unlimited resources, led by prosecutors that do not always behave ethically. You discover the scales of justice are not evenly balanced. To avoid being outmatched you need a powerful attorney capable of taking on the state. Joe has repeatedly demonstrated he is a strong individual advocate capable of doing that. My case has been a long journey with the state utilizing every effort and resource, and not deterred from engaging in misconduct to gain a conviction. Yet, it has seen those convictions reversed twice, and soon a third time. Joe has been instrumental to those successes. He is an invaluable advocate. Without Joe I would have become a victim of the state. Brief written - won awards. Arguments made - were legally and factually correct, compelling, and won. At every turn, with each news stunt and effort of the state, Joe has been here as a strong advocate, fiercely fighting back and has won. Joe is extraordinarily capable, is truly compassionate and has the integrity to give you his best and does. I have learned to trust him and rely on him. He has earned that. There a lot of posers out there. Joe is the real deal. Having Joe represent you is a blessing.

I had been fighting my case for 9 months until I was able to get assigned Mr. Trelevan and he got my case ended in 3 months and it only took that long because of them making my court dates so far apart or he would have got it ended sooner. He’s honest and doesn’t sugarcoat nothing. I’m proud to say he was my lawyer because my case would still be going on if it wasn’t for him. He is definitely godsent!

He entered a plea for amending the last 4 charges and it was acceptable to the prosecutor. Thanks to him I was spared to serve a long sentence. If you don't call P.J.

He will always get you the most potentially best case scenario results and will most certainly work with you on financial terms that will work foryou as well! I just got a very critical case dismissed on 12/5/24 and he wasn't deterred from any pushback from the court/prosecution.

I went through one of the worse ordeals of my life. A domestic violence case that left me completely traumatized. At first I wasn't aware the severity of my charges. After speaking to a friend who is an attorney (divorce attorney), and also doing my research, I realized how serious my charges were and that I needed attorney asap. I needed an Attorney who is not just good but also cares about his clients. I went on the quest of desperately finding an attorney. Called numerous criminal defense law office phone numbers, they were either no answering their phones, not available to answer questions at the time and was going to call me back, charging a consultation fee prior to speaking with them, or very unprofessional in answering the questions I had because I asked too many questions. Tyler was the first person to call me back few hours after I called him. No consultation fee needed. He was so patient in answering all my questions, and I had alot too. Talking to him felt soothing. We then scheduled an in person consultation for the next day. I felt a sense of peace after meeting & speaking with him. He was compassionate, very professional, and kind. He listened to me with no judgment and showed empathy. He then assured me he would do all he can in his power to have my case dismissed. After retaining him, I would text or call him for some answers, and he nevers hesitate to respond to my text or calls & he did so as promptly as possible. I never felt ignored or neglected not once. His communication was top notched. For my first court date, Tyler and I showed up on that day. My first win was that he was able to get the judge to lift the protective order against me. I was so over joyed & thankful because I could now get back to my home. Meanwhile, some other attorneys had told me that it was impossible to have the protective order lifted. You see, WHAT GOD CANNOT DO TRULY DOES NOT EXIST! Next, he asked that my court appearances be waved and got that approved. It took two more court dates to finally get my case DISMISSED and this was due to a change of the prescutor on the case. Today, my case got DISMISSED y'all!!! OMG!! MY GOD IS SOOOO GOOD!!! Goshh!!! I can now breathe easily!!! I felt like I was holding my breathe underwater the entire time I had this case going. God showed up and showed out for me through Tyler. It's his way of showing me that he's always with me. Almost the list of attorneys I called (up to 10), God hand picked Tyler for me to show me he is in control and he loves me, and would never leave me nor forsake me. LORD I THANK YOU!!! Thank youuuuuuuu Tyler, thank you so muchhhhhhh! Words aren't enough to thank you. Thank you for being the beautiful human being that you are. For going above and beyond for your clients. For caring for humanity & giving people hope in what would probably be one of their lowest moments of their lives. God will perfect all that concerns you, and he will continue to bless you. Thank you! I took my time to draft this long review because it matters to me. It's my testimony. And I wrote it for you reading this that finds yourself in a desperate situation and need a glimpse of hope. I'm grateful for all those that took their time to leave a review as well because it helped in my decision making for hiring Tyler to represent me. Tyler cares, he truly does and I assure you that you're in safe hands! Thank you again Tyler for the AMAZING work. God bless you!

He is a rude person only likes to email or text can't call his phone it goes straight to voicemail. Made me feel like he was working against me instead of for me. I had to do allot of my own foot work to get out of jail while he told me to stop trying to put in for programs. He basically in my eyes stole my money I only seen him once in person he didnt even have the common courtesy to go over my plea agreement with me in person he did it over the phone. Once I fired him he sent me another clients PSI report it just shows how unprofessional he really is. Me firing Harvey skees blessed me with a better attorney who has my best interest at heart and it he was court appointed. So if u have a serious case I truly recommend you find someone better or use a public defender rather than use Harvey skees

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.
