They are an outstanding group of attorneys ! Tracey was so diligent, professional and full of knowledge with the questions that I had. She was able to save me from trouble with a good set of recommendations that she made to me ! With no doubt, they are the best criminal justice attorneys in the State of Wisconsin

I highly recommend Rocco. He did an outstanding job handling my case, providing excellent guidance and support throughout the process. Rocco was not only knowledgeable and professional but also incredibly kind and approachable. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. I'm grateful for his expertise and dedication, which led to a successful outcome. If you need a reliable and personable lawyer, Rocco is the one to choose!

Rocco was professional, attentive, and dedicated to helping me navigate my situation. He was always available to answer all my questions and provided clear guidance throughout the entire process, and I am extremely grateful I was referred to him. I have never been arrested in my life. I was at the Newark airport and had a expandable baton in my backpack while going through security. I have been flying with this baton for over a year and never had an issue, but unbeknownst to me, a simple baton is illegal in NJ and I was placed under arrest. I was referred to Rocco through a mutual friend, and he explained all the details of my situation. He mitigated my situation at my first court date by speaking directly with the prosecutor and getting the charge downgraded. He led me through all the steps of the process and answered all questions, ultimately leading to community service, dismissal of my case, and eventual expedited expungement. He is a confident, realistic, optimistic lawyer and my case could have turned out much worse but luckily I had Rocco on my side. I am eternally grateful and if you need an attorney who will explain the facts in a way you can understand, and get the job done, you would be lucky to have Rocco represent you!

I can’t say enough good things about Rocco Cipparone. Based on all the positive character and professional recommendations received from respected references, I decided to hire Rocco to represent me in defending a Municipal Court matter. He gave my case all the time and attention that was needed from start to finish. He was extremely responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. He and his staff kept me updated on my case, and I always felt confident that I was being represented with my best interest in mind. Rocco was very professional and well prepared at my court hearings, handling everything on my behalf, and his attention to detail resulted in the best outcome for me which included an expedited expungement. Rocco Cipparone is an amazing attorney who cares about his clients, and I would whole-heartedly refer him to all my friends and family.

To put this in words it will not fully convey the appreciation I have for Sandy and his team. During the most difficult time in my life Sandy provided me with extraordinary legal expertise but more importantly the emotional support that I needed. His entire team (Aileen Sinclair, my angel in disguise) was always available, transparent, dependable, and extremely compassionate. They were exactly what I needed, and I can't express the gratification, admiration, and appreciation I have for all of them. Thank you, Sandy, Aileen, and team.!

I highly recommend Mr. Becher. He is the number 1 Attorney to get the job done. He took on my case 2 years ago when I had no clue of what my next step would be for my son I. My son is Disable and I was not getting any assistance from the other party but he assured me of what the outcome of the case would be and that was what he delivered. May God bless you and your family. Mr. Becher is very professional and has a heart for the job. He deserve 10 stars.

Exceptional Legal Representation by Marc Days at Days Law Firm I am writing to express my utmost gratitude and appreciation for the outstanding legal services provided by Marc Days at Days Law Firm. I met Marc during a challenging time when the government was threatening me with both civil and criminal prosecution. Despite the complexity of the situation, Marc's expertise and dedication made all the difference. Throughout the duration of my case, Marc demonstrated an unparalleled level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication that far exceeded my expectations. From our initial consultation to the final resolution, Marc consistently displayed a deep understanding of the law and a strategic approach to my legal issues. He was not intimidated by the complexity of the case. Marc's attention to detail, thorough preparation, and clear communication made a significant difference in the outcome of my case. He knew how to utilize an investigator, effectively interviewed witnesses, and communicated with other lawyers, working well with everyone involved. One of the most commendable qualities of Marc is his ability to explain complex legal concepts in a way that is easy to understand. This not only provided me with a sense of clarity and confidence but also ensured that I was well-informed at every step of the process. Furthermore, Marc's compassionate and empathetic approach helped alleviate the stress and anxiety that often accompany legal matters. His willingness to listen, answer my questions, and address my concerns with patience and understanding was truly remarkable. I was particularly impressed with Marc's responsiveness and accessibility. Whether through phone calls, emails, or in-person meetings, he was always available to provide timely updates and valuable guidance. This level of commitment and availability is rare and greatly appreciated. In addition to his legal acumen, Marc displayed a high level of integrity and ethical standards. His honest and transparent approach instilled a sense of trust and confidence in his representation. I am incredibly grateful for the successful outcome of my case, which would not have been possible without the expertise and dedication of Marc Days. I wholeheartedly recommend Marc and Days Law Firm to anyone in need of legal assistance. His exceptional skills, professionalism, and genuine care for his clients make him an outstanding attorney. Thank you once again, Marc, for your hard work and dedication. I am truly fortunate to have had you by my side.

Marc worked with me on a DUI case and I do not believe I could have found better legal representation than him here in Fresno. He was incredibly professional, always on time, and very thorough when working through the process with me. He made sure I understood all my options and provided detailed information on every step he took throughout the case. Marc knew when to work with the Judge and DA and fought for me in each interaction with them. Overall I recieved the best possible outcome for my case. I would highly recommend him to others

I am so thankful to have been recommended to Marc Days by a friend for legal advice and assistance. Marc provided exceptional legal services for my healthcare related licensing issue. He was always reachable, professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy, supportive, and caring. From the moment I reached out to speak with Marc, I felt how compassionate and caring he was. He took his time to listen and discuss the legal issues. He was honest, direct and respectful. He carefully examined my likelihood of succeeding on the case and helped me weigh my options. Marc was there for me every step of the way. He even contacted me to check on my personal well being. He accomplished an outcome for my case better than I hoped or expected. I wholeheartedly recommend Marc Days to anyone looking for an experienced attorney. He’s truly a great person and lawyer that I think anyone would want to have on their side. AA

Felony possession. No sales or distribution charges. Personal use substances. Turned over to local police by a rat C.I. DM set bail at $350,000 and he wouldn't negotiate a lower bail. Fired my local attorney immediately and called Mr. Rude. Within 24 hours bail was reduced to $50,000. Fined $750, treatment court and probation. He gets my recommendation to anyone in trouble. He walks softly and carries a big stick. Great guy.

Mr. Canet is a lifesaver & the best attorney I could have ever asked for. The state wanted 8.5 years in prison and would not back down. My first attorney (NOT Canet) told me to take the 8.5 year plea bc my case was a clear win for the state and trial would be suicide. Within a month of hiring Mr Canet, he discovered missing evidence, contradicting testimonies AND internal investigation reports discrediting a key witness in my case. Once he started filing motions, he had the state so scared they put their best attorney on my case. At my first hearing, he had the state trembling & had the tenured officer on my case stuttering and fumbling his words. He made both of these experienced professionals look like unqualified rookies. Even the judge called the officers testimony “baffling” & pulled Mr. Canet to the side and said “you are a great attorney Mr. Canet.” He is aggressive and without a doubt the most knowledgeable in any courtroom. He is honest, fierce and a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom. Needless to say I am a free man today, Thanks to Mr. Canet. If you want a second chance at life, look no further, just pick up the phone, call him & Mr. Canet will go to war for you.

I decided to use Carlos's after speaking with several attorneys after receiving another DUI charge with very special circumstances and a blood draw with serious consequences and several grey areas. Carlos was not the cheapest and made no promises but that is why I choose him. He was extremely knowledgeable of the law and very professional and always available. I couldn't have been more happy with my choice and can assure he was worth every penny. He kept me out of jail and continues to help me with my needs after the case has been settled. Other attorneys will promise the world and then leave you hanging. I've never recommended or reviewed an attorney ever but I thought it was the absolute least I could do. I can't say Thank you enough Carlos... Thank you, Tim

So, I'd first like to say how impressed I am with Roberts Law Group! This is a phenomenal law firm whom is genuinely concerned with the outcome of their client's situation. I hired Ms. Miranda Mills and she did an amazing job representing me in and out of the courtroom. My mind was truly put at ease whenever I was in the presence of my awesome attorney. Thanks again for all the time, effort, and hardwork you implemented on my behalf Ms. Mills! Way to go on a job well done.

I have never seen Attorneys work as hard as I just witnessed from Jim McPhedran and Lauren E. Edmonds. Our suit has taken over nine years to come to court. Deaths and covid were not kind to us. Jim and Laurens research for this case alone was unbelievable. Their presentation was right on, I was amazed at how much knowledge they learned for our medical case. I want to thank them for what they have done representing our family. They definitely had their heart, mind in this case.

I would highly recommend Mr. McPhedran to anyone needing legal counsel. He and his team were excellent about answering questions and keeping us updated in a timely manner. He even took time during the weekend and family time to reach out More importantly, he listened to our wishes regarding the deposition and settlement.

I retained Brian during a time of extreme duress. My son ( who has a mental illness)was charged with some outrageously over inflated and serious crimes. I spent days researching legal resources and read up on legal statutesI had no idea if my son's rights were being violated. He was locked up without bail and his court appointed attorney was just shrugging his shoulders and asking for continuances. Brian took over and immediately began to change the course of disaster. He was amazing and continues to help us clean up the legal entanglements that we have been in because of my sons mental illness. Brian met with him, explained what was happening in terms he could understand. I completely TRUST him to pay attention and continue to fight for Jared's legal rights to live a decent life, free from criminal charges caused by my calls for help for a section 12 Police to the Hospital. Every charge is a result of Law Enforcement's mishandling of him while was is in crisis. I would definitely recommend him.

25 Feb, 2016 by Anonymous

Very smart and informative attorney. He listened to and heard my issue. However based on my research of other legal representation he seemed to be a little overpriced for my liking. I would still without a doubt recommend his services, however recommendations would be given to individuals with deep pockets. Also after I forwarded documents to him a few days ago as requested. I have still yet to receive a reply back.

He was very professional, filed motions for me we took it all the way to trial thoroughly,he's smart hes a tiger who will make it all the way to the top! We smashed em so bad the DA. tried smoking me on a different case because we made her look so little in the courtroom and that was when he was a novicce so i can imagine the respect and reputation that you must have by now because he is a beast he is one of the best thank you Brian!!

12 Feb, 2018 by Ethan

I was referred to Mr. Tamburino by a friend of the family who is also a lawyer. Mr. Tamburino was one of the most efficient and responsive lawyers I got in touch with during my indictment. He was very personable and very friendly. He did not promise something he did not deliver. His services were not the most expensive, I would say he was in the middle of the different quotes received, which was good because a lawyer is very expensive regardless. I was thankful that he was somewhat flexible with payment. He handled my case very well, and helped me with the difficult process. He also appeased my family members and myself during hard times. He is truly a great person on top of being a lawyer. So why did I not give him five stars? As soon as my sentencing was over, he disappeared. No follow up, just good luck and see you! I was recently released from prison and had a few questions to ask him. No reply. Some issues are left hanging that I wish I could alleviate with his help but with no reply from him, I am now looking for another lawyer. I am disappointed.

Amazing, Awesome, Seasoned, Professional, Highly Skilled and Caring. That’s what Don Flanary and his law firm associates are and more. I found the Flanary Law Firm while searching for legal help for my son. At the time my family was distraught and in distress. Don and Amanda were calm, helpful and hopeful. They immediately had a plan of action, they were READY to go to battle and that was just after an initial meeting! Their positive and fighting energy was so amazing and inspiring and exactly what we needed. It was what my son needed. Right after we retained Don, he and Amanda took IMMEDIATE action to right a wrong. They stayed on top of everything and was aggressive in their defense of my son. They accomplished in less than a year what we so desperately needed for our son, a DISMISSAL! We already had over a year in this unfortunate ordeal, living in unrest, stress and worry. Don and Amanda took notice and took immediate action! Their dedication, expert knowledge of the law, the legal system and the courts is a why our son and our family currently have PEACE of mind. Go with Flanary Law Firm! It was one of THE BEST decision we’ve ever had to make for a dire and daunting situation. We are ever so grateful and blessed to have had these folks placed in our lives. So very and eternally grateful!!

Without going into too much detail about what I was being accused of, my case was a life changing one. I was being accused of one of the worst things human being can be accused of. I did a ton of research on top attorneys in San Antonio and what they’re success rates were. I interviewed about 6 attorneys and Don was the last one that I interviewed. One of the first things that I noticed about Don was his passion and energy for what he does. Within a few minutes he was asking questions that nobody else had asked me, he immediately dove into the details and began to tear it apart. WOW! I knew immediately that he was the one. Don is on a different level compared to all the other attorneys I had spoken with. He’s one of those attorneys that’s not scared to go to trial and he tells it exactly how it is. One of the best ways to visualize how I felt about Don was like having a Pit bull on my side. He was relentless with the details and the facts of this case and he never let me down. He brought in all the right people that included private detectives, experts and even other attorneys for advice. I’ve never met anyone like Don and I truly feel in my heart that I’d be sitting in prison right now if it wasn’t for him.

Don is a first rate lawyer and knows the law. I would recommend him in a heart beat.

I got a DUI and was referred to David Chesley by a colleague who also had a previous case. I must say I am satisfied by the results and it was cheaper than other law offices. Communication was key and I felt like I wasn’t alone in this case. When I got the DUI, I thought my consequences would have been the worst. My lawyer informed me that she will do her best and not to worry. In the end, she delivered and I highly recommend Law Offices of David Chesley.

29 Dec, 2021 by Harvey anderson

David Chesley outlined his plan for me, which included what he felt would be realistic steps for us to take and how much time each step might require. He gave an honest promise that if everything else fails we could always go back to this point as it has worked out well so far! After we won in Court there are no more negative feelings blocking my way forward anymore... I can't say enough about how great Mr. Chesley's professionalism showed through during all those times where things got tough.

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.

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.

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.

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.
