It was my first time facing a felony in my life. Had I been found guilty, I would have jeopardized my custody of my daughter and my career. I needed an aggressive criminal defense attorney and I had one opportunity to get it right, and I did exactly that by hiring Attorney Morgan Caruso. She was able to get the felony charge reduced to a misdemeanor, with other charges dismissed. I left the court that day with a small fine to pay and what felt like my entire world still intact. Her compassion and her skill is something to truly behold and I’m eternally grateful that she was there for me in my time of need.

I can't say enough about Attorney Donna Kuchler and her exceptional dedication to her clients. From the moment she took on my case, she treated me as though I were part of her own family. Her extensive knowledge of the law and meticulous attention to detail were evident in every step she took. Donna fought tirelessly on my behalf, demonstrating unwavering commitment and determination. Thanks to her hard work and expertise, she truly saved my life and my family. Her ability to navigate complex legal matters with confidence and precision gave me peace of mind during one of the most challenging times of my life. I will always be grateful for her and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a compassionate and skilled attorney.

Tony Cotton is an exceptional attorney. He is great at litigation, case law, and reaching favorable resolutions. He's not afraid to take a case to trial either. He cares about his clients and listens to their concerns. Many of my family memebers have been represented by Tony. I fully trust in his ability to represent me and those I care about, with the same regard he would represent his own family. I highly recommend him.

My family and I cannot recommend Axley, and specifically the legal services of Erika Bierma, more strongly. Erika’s professionalism, work ethic, dedication to her clients, and exceptional skill as a defense attorney softened the immense stress and difficulty of more than one legal issue for my family. She achieved sentencing outcomes so favorable we didn’t even consider them possible, all while providing a guiding hand through the complexities of the legal process. Since 2016, our family has worked on various occasions with Erika to navigate legal issues stemming from substance abuse. Through all this, she was compassionate, straightforward, and clearly communicated all possible paths forward. She has a deep understanding of and empathy for the wide range of emotions that her clients experience while dealing with these sensitive issues. Further, she is well-versed and excellently connected to resources, including therapists, counselors, and recovery programs, throughout the area. Erika and her team, most notably her assistant Paula Mueller, are incredibly responsive to calls, emails, and texts. Every question, every worry, every clarification you ask about is answered promptly. It’s hard to believe this level of quick, clear, and compassionate communication could be found with any other attorney or firm. A five star review isn't nearly enough. My family and I cannot recommend her with more enthusiasm and gratitude. -- Teresa Darcy, MD

She showed me a lot of empathy, and at the same time, was very straight-forward with her advice. Ms. Ham's knowledge of family law is extremely impressive, and I felt very confident with the guidance I received from her. I highly recommend Ham Family Law for anyone seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable firm for family law matters!

If you’re looking for the best defense attorney, Andrew Kassab is the one to call. He represented me over 8 years ago, and my case lasted more than 9 months. Throughout that time, he was professional, thorough, and always kept me informed. Andrew’s confidence and knowledge of the law are unmatched, and his background as a former prosecutor truly sets him apart. He fought tirelessly and achieved the best possible outcome for my case. I’m still incredibly grateful for everything he did. Highly recommend Andrew Kassab!

They made a note of my concerns, and Ruzanna would get back to me pretty quickly. It’s really importantto me that my lawyer is available when I need her, and she has been so far. She’s professional, and I’m hopeful she’ll help me resolve my case. I’ll update my review once everything is settled.

Hiring Attorney Ruzanna Poghosyan was one of the best decisions I could have made. At first, her fees seemed a bit high, but after working with her, I quickly realized they are completely justified. The amount of time, effort, and dedication she puts into each case makes every dollar worth it. She doesn’t treat her clients as just another case — she genuinely cares and works tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome. Even when I was already satisfied, she kept pushing until she was sure everything was handled to perfection. Before finding Ruzanna, I had this unrealistic expectation of lawyers based on shows like Suits and Law & Order. After a while, I assumed no attorney in LA could match that level of expertise and charisma — until I was referred to attorney Poghosyan. She’s the real deal! She listens attentively, never interrupts, and most importantly, she knows the law inside and out. And yes, she even wears suits sometimes! While I wasn’t happy about needing legal representation, I can honestly say I’m grateful now that Ruzanna was the one representing me. Her office is right in the heart of Beverly Hills, so after every appointment, I could take a deep breath, grab a cappuccino, and appreciate how lucky I was to have her on my side. If you’re looking for a hardworking, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated attorney, Ruzanna Poghosyan is the one.

I can’t find words to express how much time and efforts Ruzanna Poghosyan put in for my case. Knowing so much but having so little proof to connect my evidence and get my restraining order. I recommend Ruzanna for any case because she is so knowledgeable and so attentive to spend the time and listen to all your facts. She put so much more time that I ever imagined. She was present during every court and so supportive both emotionally mentally during every step of the worse and frightened days of my life.

From the start you can tell that he genuinely cares and he really knows what he is doing and he makes you feel that you are in good hands and that he will do his very best to fight for you. He did a great job on my case, he is always straightforward and if you have any questions he will explain it in a way you can understand easily and if you need him to repeat it he will. His assistant is always in communication, and if you have any questions she will always answer promptly, she is very professional and you can tell that she also has a lot of experience. If you need the best attorney I recommend Russell 100%, you will be glad you get him to fight for you.

My grandson was involved in an incident in which he was arrested and booked for some very serious felony and misdemeanor charges . A gun, under the influence and drugs and a vandalism charge was very concerning. We were so fortunate to have obtained Mr. Babcock as his attorney to represent him. Relying on a personal friend for a recommendation and reading the positive reviews we could not have been more pleased with our decision to retain his services. All reviews are true to his representation as he was always in touch with us every step of the way. He asked all the right questions and had all the right answers. His recommendations to us were followed to ensure that our cooperation would help with a successful outcome for my grandsons court appearance. This week when we appeared for the court appearance Mr. Babcock came out of judges chambers after discussing the case with the judge and the DA . He gave us the good news that the felony charges were dropped and now reduced to two misdemeanor charges! No drug charge and there would be NO jail time. One year probation with no need to report but to submit proof back to the courts within 6 months of 40 hours community service, attend 25 DA meetings and take a gun safety course Restriction for not having a gun for one year probation period and his confiscated gun would be destroyed. He will pay a fine for the vandalism damage as requested by the homeowner and a minimal $150 for court fine. We could have not asked for a better outcome. Our many thanks to him for saving a young man from time in jail or prison. He will now go on to look back on this and be thankful that he was represented by someone who cared about his future.

Look no further! Russell Babcock and Logan Noblin What can I say about Russell and Logan, along with Anna Yum and the rest of the incredible team....they saved my life and got me back home to my family! From the start Russell was very skeptical and realistic of my charges, and the likelihood that things would go my way. As our relationship grew and more details and facts about the case came out, things slowly started to change. He and Logan really started to believe in me. As the case kept going, with the DAs reluctance to see this for what it was, Russell, Logan and Anna, continued to have the difficult talks of the realities and risks of continuing on towards trial, and not agreeing to take a plea deal for something I was innocent of. I appreciated their willingness to have the hard talks. It was an incredibly horrible position to be in, but with their belief in me, it helped me push forward. Unfortunately the DA did push things to trial. Right from the start of trial, I couldn't help but feel confident. From Russell's unmatched experience, and his incredible mind that is always thinking of every angle and working non stop, to Logan's cool, calm presence and complete control of the courtroom. They were the perfect team! They bounced questions and ideas off each other the entire trial. Their preparation showed every step of the way. They were always courteous to the judge, related things to jurors, had great questioning of the witnesses, and came out on top with every exchange with the DA. Results were unanimous,not guilty verdict within one hour of deliberations! Russell and Logan were total rock stars from start to finish. Anna Yum was amazing and knew exactly the right pair to assign to take on my case. 5 stars in every way!! I would not only refer them to anyone I know that finds themselves needing a defense lawyer, but I would not let them go with anyone else! Thank you Anna, Russell, Logan, Jorge, and everyone else that helped on my case, and is a part of this amazing law firm!! Nicholas

Under the circumstances, he stopped and listened. The full case was a bit much. He looked into the person and the case. He did battle with the legal system for the person not the crime. He looked into the persons past and set them up for the best future based on what the person showed him. I was amazed at his approach to the situation. He looked for facts that most people overlook. Prompt, respectful, knowledgeable, professional and caring. You will not find a more effective attorney.

He made sure you get every chance to speak up, understand the situation and take action. The thing that we liked the most about him is that he will guide you through the entire process which makes it easier for you to make decisions but will not enforce his decision on you. It's because of Chris that I am out free today. Thank you Chris for all the effort, hard work and support provided during this time of difficulty.

During the hardest most emotional day of my life Michaela not only fought for me and my rights as a mother, but she gave me the confidence I needed to hold my head high. I walked into family court without a lawyer for over 3 years because I could not afford an attorney. Always leaving the courthouse feeling completely defeated and powerless. But, when I finally got my trial date I realized that I was too emotionally attached to this case to represent myself. So, I hired Michaela. I heard she was the best. I wasn’t sure I even knew what that meant at the time. But after watching her in action I can honestly say that she is absolutely the BEST! She fought as if my daughter was hers. She found evidence to prove my entire case. Evidence that other lawyers didn’t even notice. When it started to feel like I was loosing, she helped me keep my composure. Knowing how emotional this can be she sympathized with me, all while encouraging me and letting me know that it was going to be all right. When it came to court, filing all the right documents, getting evidence in on time, and being prepared for trial I give her a 5star review. But what means more to me than any of that was having a lawyer on my side that gave me all the confidence I needed to fight for my daughter. Someone who not only believed in me, but who made this fight so much easier. Also, I had 19 people with me on this day and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM were ALL amazed by her. They all wanted her cards and I’m sure after watching her in action she will have a lot more clients. If your looking for a lawyer to not only do her job, but give you the confidence you need at an emotional time in your life she is it! I’m beyond grateful to have had Michaela represent me and fight as hard as she did for my beautiful daughter!

Tom and his firm used their extensive experience to get me results beyond what I had hoped for. It was not only skill and knowledge that were brought to the table, but reputation that aided in the final results. I believe that without this counsel, I'd be in a far worse situation than I currently am.

Experienced, trial tested lawyer who knows everyone from judges to prosecutors. He Truly listened to my story and fought for me in a high stakes federal investigation. Skilled negotiations and relations with judges and opposing federal attorneys resulted in a reasonable charge and prevented having to go to trial. Justice was served for the feds, but due to his skill and hard work I could be accountable for my poor choices without destroying my life. His calming demeanor and communication skills put me at ease in one of the more frightening times of my life. Truly a master of his craft, I would recommend him to anyone without reservation.

I am extremely disappointed with Frank McDermott. He initially convinced me that he would fight for my case. However, after paying him an upfront full high fee, I found myself essentially on my own. If you need a Federal Defense Attorney, he is not the one to help you. Don’t waste your time, money, or life.

Anthony W. Nunnally is an outstanding lawyer who supported me from the very beginning. From the first phone call, he was always available, no matter the time, and provided the reassurance I needed during a very uncertain period. Anthony took the time to thoroughly explain everything I needed to know, even offering his support through a holiday weekend. Thanks to his dedication, my charges were dismissed within the first month. I never felt alone throughout the entire process because of Anthony's unwavering commitment. I highly recommend Anthony—he is truly worth every bit of his service. Thank you once again, Anthony.

THE B E S T LAWYER IN TOWN! My husband and I eloped last year in 2023 and for months, I searched for a lawyer who can help me apply for my permanent residency visa. The first lawyer we met did not seem like very helpful AT ALL and all she wants is your money. However, when one of my friends recommended Terry Olsen, I immediately booked an appointment with him the next day. I tell you, I have never met a lawyer who is very passionate about what he does, treats you like a friend/family with his life and marriage advice and who's immensely willing to help you in any situation. Terry WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND !! He even asked his wife to edit my 2x2 picture because the lighting is too dark and he does not want me to go back to CVS to get it redone for the 3rd time and pay again for the printing. They are also very detailed with what documents we need to provide to make sure my case won't be denied or USCIS will not ask for more evidence after we file. We filed for PR Dec2023 and in less than a year.... I finally got APPROVED and got my PR ID(Green Card). Massive Thank you to Terry and his whole Team/Family. I will definitely recommend his firm to all my friends! Terry Olsen is indeed the BEST LAWYER in town!

Terribly rude! Over talks! Doesn't listen. Doesn't read. Pompous and presumptuous. I wouldn't use this law firm if they were the last on the planet. I will certainly place a recommendation for the legal referral service provided by my employer, to drop his firm from the directory because he and his secretary, Maria, are of no help at all. Don't waste your time. Spend your money on a firm that will listen to, hear and respect you, your time and money.

Just choose Parisa—she is the one you want in your corner, trust me, you will thank me later. I cannot say enough about the exceptional representation I received from her in my embezzlement case. From the very beginning, Parisa approached my situation with professionalism, empathy, and unwavering dedication. She treated every question I asked as an opportunity to educate me, always making me feel confident rather than “dumb” for seeking clarity. Her meticulous attention to detail was remarkable; she thoroughly reviewed every piece of evidence and quickly identified key elements to present to the prosecutor, which were critical in securing a favorable outcome. Thanks to her hard work and strategic planning, I can now move forward with my life. If you’re looking for an attorney who is not only exceptionally skilled but also genuinely invested in your future, Parisa is the one you need to call.

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.
