He’s very knowledgeable, professional, and explained everything in detail. I’m very grateful for my experience with Attorney Robinson. I highly recommend him without any reservations to all my friends and family. Awesome Job!!!!!

Attorney Miglore is THE G.O.A.T. (Greatest Of All Times) when it comes to Criminal Law. He was able to do what others said would NEVER EVER happen. My spouse had an issue that he was grandfathered into when the laws changed which was out of state that required him to register as a sex offender. We lived in Illinois for a brief period and to be in compliance with the law he had to register. The out of state Judge granted an order to remove him from the registry nationally. Since we lived in Illinois briefly, he was on the registry and was told that he would be on the Ilinois registry for the rest of his life, even though we don't reside there anymore. Hiring Attorney Miglore was the BEST DECISION of our lives. He was victorious in getting my spouse removed off of the Illinois registry, I mean REMOVED COMPLETELY. He knows the law and works hard for his clients. There are no words to express our appreciation and gratitude for the interest that he took to get this resolved. We are forever grateful. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! If you ever need the BEST look no further contact Attorney Salvatore Miglore, a True Professional with the IT Factor. (Integrity & Trust)

Never had a problem getting in touch when I needed to speak with him. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

My wife received a ticket for not properly stopping by a school bus in a school zone. it was total B.S. she was stopped the bus was moving with his sign out! Naturally there was a ticket maid from the government to watch and nail her with a ticket. He probably sits there all day. Its just another revenue generator for local government. Its a very serious ticket because they threaten to restrict or suspend your license ( its all about kids safety right?lol) Plus she works as a nanny and submits to background checks. she was interviewing with a couple when this happened and this ticket came up in a check on care.org and they suspended my wife's account like she was guilty!!! what happen to innocent until proven guilty. it was a real mess. Sal got it changed to a changing lanes violation with online drivers improvement school and a probation period. These over paid ticket maid are out to nail you and generate revenue for the local government. thats their real job. Do not let them steal from you. You have rights. Hire Sal! To end a bright note the couple hired my wife with a four year contract. They said everyone knows what the cops are up to so it didn't bother them in the least.

Cory came highly recommended to me. I'd heard that he was a near legend miracle worker in the courtroom (a repeated D.U.I case that might have ended up really bad, he made really right.) . But I"d never needed a D.U.I. fixed. However! Crazy things can happen when you least expect it--a police officer going through your purse and finding EXACTLY the wrong thing for instance. Thank heaven's there is someone like Cory to step up and saved me. he is so easy to talk to and fair in his charges. I would ay, you can;t do better in Asheville. Thanks so much, Cory.

Corey made me feel better the moment I spoke to him and made me feel confident in how things were going to turn out. He was quick to get back into contact even for this very minor charge. Corey ended up having everything dismissed in the most professional way. Thank you Corey!

Finally, she has emerged with a clean record and is able to move forward with her life.

Mr. Garcia was recommended to me when my daughter was arrested on a first-offense DWI charge. Soon after our initial phone conversation, he went to check on my daughter and to reassure her, which was a huge thing for us in these uncharted and very scary waters. Throughout the confusing and overwhelming legal process, he handled matters professionally and with genuine concern for my daughter, serving as our focal point of stability and help. He made himself available at any time to advise us, and he unfailingly answered our questions thoroughly and accurately. Best of all, he creatively worked with the judge to negotiate on my daughter's behalf. Make no mistake - there is no "free ride" in a matter such as this. But Mr. Garcia represented my daughter extremely well, and, after fulfilling the terms of her punishment, she will be able to go forth with a clean record and without damage to her career. I recommend Gus Garcia without reservation. As the saying goes,"The proof of the pudding is not in the eating but in the second helping." When it comes time to work through the process of having my daughter's record expunged, he's the attorney I'll engage.

I have a low bar for lawyer integrity, and Gus completely changed that. He was honest, open and knowledgeable about all the options, very fair with his costs and payment terms. I think he actually cared about my case. He really went to bat for me. And got it done! I could not be happier with his service. Was so grateful I even baked him a pie. I highly recommend this guy. If he's not the right attorney for your needs he freely makes recommendations. My previous experience with most lawyers is that they are just greedy-get-my-money types, with no real concern for justice and no interest in your personal situation. Not Gus. He's the real deal.

He was patient with my questions, open to input, and leveraged the resources of his firm as appropriate. Despite the long hours Elliot was investing in work products for our case, he took the time to keep me informed along the way.

Elliot was part of a legal team which represented my sister in a recent Federal case. I was also indicted in the same case and frequently read Elliot's messages to my sister. It was obvious to me that Elliot was very dedicated to the case by the contents of his messages. I believe that he did most of the research and evidence gathering that eventually led to a dismissal for my sister. I would not hesitate to be represented by Elliot Abrams in any legal matter that may arise. He is dedicated, personable and very thorough.

When my loved one was charged with a serious crime, my life was turned upside down until Mr. Koury entered it. He told us not to worry because, in his assessment, the accused had simply made a mistake. From the moment we shook hands with Mr. Koury, he eased our fears by assuring us that everything will be okay. We felt as though we had a brilliant lawyer in our family during a nail-biting time we needed his expertise and humanity the most. Mr. Koury cared about us and the future we both faced. This kind man of drive, determination and compassion worked diligently to keep the accused out of jail. He kept us in the loop every step of the way during the oft-confusing legal process. We thank Mr. Koury for saving my loved one's name and reputation so he could continue on the right path. Quite frankly, we don't know what we would have done without Mr. Koury's encouragement, direction, knowledge and trustworthiness. If you ever need to place your life in the hands of another being, Mr. Koury should be your first choice. He treats you like family.

He acted quickly and effectively putting extensive time to learn about my case and planning my defense. He maintained daily contact with me and kept me informed on the development of the process. Since the initial consultation he spoke realistically about the possible outcome of my case and was clear on what his fees would cover, but grateafully, as a token, his legal advice went above and beyond the terms of the retainer. I had confidence in his skills and the outcome of my case was extremely positive. I highly recommend Mr. Lentz to anyone who needs an honest, kind, and dedicated criminal defense attorney.

An attorney friend ours referred us to Mark Gatesman because of his membership in the National Association of Criminal Defense Attorney’s. We hired Mark to help us with our son, a minor, who foolishly got into trouble. Mark assured us he could resolve the matter without our son having a criminal record. In a time of anxiety and uncertainty, Mark was able to answer all our questions. In Court Mark was able to get the case completely dismissed. Now my son doesn’t have a criminal record due to a one-time lapse in judgment. Mark Gatesman’s representation demonstrated compassion knowledge and experience in Juvenile Law. I would definitely recommend Mark.

No one ever thinks they will be in this situation of needing a lawyer because your son was selling drugs. Carter was not the original lawyer my son hired. That lawyer was dishonest and we felt like we were sinking in quicksand. We didn't know who we could trust or where to turn. Our son was in one of the county jails when he heard about Carter from another inmate. She made no promises but gave us confidence that she was on our side and explained every step of the way. For the first time in months we felt like we weren't sinking in that quicksand. We weren't asking for miracles but a fair defense for our son. She was by his side during the entire long process and updated us whenever anything changed. I don't know what would of happened to my son and us if our paths had not crossed with Carter. She follows through and delivers.

Brittany Kessler is an incredible lawyer and human, for that matter.  I had a very unfortunate and upsetting experience in which I was booked for speeding, being on my cell phone and a DWAI.  I blew under .08 so wasn’t booked for a DUI but what a DWAI means for your record while not criminal is still a terrible blemish.  I was visiting NY from CA so there was the added layer of my being from out of State. Brittany was ALWAYS available to answer my questions and concerns and was kind, empathetic and patient when explaining the way the system works.  She even contacted a CA attorney to clarify what may happen to my license there, should I be convicted.  She was amazing and I couldn’t recommend her more.  She is so professional but also truly cares.  She made the process bearable.  Because of her good relationship with the Court, she was able to have my DWAI dropped and replaced with two much minor tickets.  She put together a thoughtful, well researched and powerful case in my defense and I feel so grateful and lucky to have had her in my corner.  She’s the very best.  I’d like to add that Brittany’s firm Larkin Ingrassia was also supportive and a pleasure to deal with. I hope I don’t need Brittany’s help again but if I ever did I know exactly who I’m calling!

Brittany is amazing. During my DWAI case she was extremely responsive to all of my texts and calls and answered any questions I had. She lead me through each step of the case and I never had a doubt that she didn’t have my best interests at heart. Even when I was freaking out, she was always there to explain everything and comfort me. She was kind and was never judgmental about my situation. Even when she was asked to go to another court hearing on the day of my court hearing she declined so she could be with me. That meant the world to me. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a top tier lawyer. She will always have your back.

He did an excellent job and kept me informed throughout the whole process. I was very pleased with the outcome of my cases. I would highly recommend Mr. Granovsky to anyone who is looking for someone who is trustworthy, knowledgable and sincere.

The first thing I noticed about Louis is how hard he works for his clients. He is very thorough and makes sure to explore every option for recovery. He kept me aware of everything that was going on with the case; I never had to wonder what was happening next or where the case was going. I really appreciated that he told me exactly what to expect; he was great at returning calls and keeping open communication. The best part is that my case came to a great resolution. I am confident in Louis' skills and would definitely refer him to family and friends. My experience was great and I'm sure other's will be as well.

I can honestly say he did not fail me but only give me an answer to every question I came across. I strongly believe that a person with Trioni as their attorney are in great hands.

I highly recommend Mr. Anthony P. Troiani to anyone who needs legal advice. I can honestly say I trust him and felt throughout the long process, he truly cared for my case as if it were his own.I was charged and jailed, alleged DWI. Shortly thereafter made my phone call and phoned a friend who left a message after hours with Mr. Troiani' s office. Mr Troiani contacted the jail personnel, exchanged information with authorities and a left message for myself all before 8:00 a.m. This city was not home for Mr. Troiani or myself. He continued to gather information from the DA, multiple expert witnesses’ documents, made multiple court dates requiring plane travel. He communicated well and established rapport with prosecutors, as if they were his home town friends and resolved the case without my receiving a trial, DWI conviction, probation, community service, and only a $100.00 fine and minimal court costs. I feel confident that this fine would have been avoided had I risked a jury trial and spent several more months waiting on a trial.

I worked with Mark Savoy and Diane Barrera Joseph Santaularia was my primary attorney or my main attorney for six months he helped me. I went through a situation that I’ve never been through and I should not have been in long story short I had three charges and was unaware. I found out through getting hired at this job when they did a background check they chose not to hire me and that’s when I became aware of my situation! So I had to prepare to turn myself in, which is something I’ve never done I didn’t do it right away I gathered information and did it about a month later I Went through that whole process ended up having to turn in my firearm. We fought hard on this for six months three charges dropped case dismissed as of 4 months ago last August 30th it was finalized. They helped me go through a process to where I was able to get the entire case sealed with the Help of Mark & Diane and now my case it now no longer appears on my record or anywhere, and they were able to help me get my firearm back. Colorado Legal Defense was always there with advice and if someone couldn’t make it, their whole team would make sure somebody was there to represent you in court. I would highly recommend Colorado Legal Defense group. If you are unsure about your situation or if you don’t think you already know the outcome these guys will give you some insight. Thanks Joseph my attorney and the rest of theColorado Legal Defense Group! Thank you Mark and Diane as well! Happy New Year! 💪🏽

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?

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.
