I am more than happy to share my extremely successful experience with Todd & Kayla. I've had a lot of experiences w attorneys through RE transactions, working in corporate America, divorce....etc Some can have the misconception that attorneys are all about taking your money and billable hours. With this team that is simply not the case! When you initially meet with Todd, he can appear to be assertive, abrupt & direct. Yet at the conclusion of a very successful experience, I found that these were not negative qualities. Simply put, he does not waste anyone's time, efforts or financial resources upon retention of your legal matters. With your legal needs Todd's tenacity, honesty, and diligence leads to an overwhelming feeling of confidence that you are in the right hands! While working with him, I not only had a 100% faith in his professionalism; I also took great comfort in his authenticity of caring for his clients by showing empathy & overall concern. He truly is a great person & attorney. Kayla and the team have a very patient way of guiding their clients through the step by step process in case/court preparation. Through out the process I had no apprehensions of the SUCCESSFUL results delivered with their swift/amazing competence. I am very confident in stating that Todd Goebel is by far the best attorney that I have had the great pleasure of working with! Amy Burich

Margaret handled my divorce with grace, compassion and ease! She and her staff really made a hard time much easier on me. She always placed my best interest and the best interest of my child first. Margaret is diligent and did an excellent job handling all of the details of my divorce. She is very knowledgeable and always sets expectations so I never felt like I was getting caught off guard. She went above and beyond even after the divorce was final. I highly recommend Margaret and will always consider her my go to lawyer.

I have been a client of Chamberlain Law Firm for over seven years! I first came to Margaret in the middle of a custody battle. Prior to meeting with her I tried to handle things on my own and landed myself in a very precarious position. I did not wish to fight with my ex, but simply do what was going to be best for the two young children. My ex had other plans. In hindsight I wish I would have met with her sooner. If you are considering whether you should or shouldn't get an attorney… You need to just come speak with Margaret. She is a wealth of knowledge! I won't bore you with the sob story that was my life. All I can say is Margaret took ALL my mess...and it WAS a mess! She explained very thoroughly what my expectation should be, what I should do, what I should be prepared for. From the first time that I walked into Margaret Chamberlain's office and met Deanne and Kathy I felt cared for. I felt like they understood my goal was to protect my children and not to hurt someone else. Over the years I have grown very fond of those women not just on a personal level, but I have the upmost respect for their level of professionalism and and competence. I have never called with a question that couldn't be answered, and if they didn't have an answer Deanne was sure to get back to me promptly. I have asked this law firm for help on many different occasions raging from divorce decrees, child custody and visitation, contempt hearing's, and modification of orders. I have referred close friends to her as well and they have been ecstatic with their results! In the end we all want what's best for our children, or maybe we don't have children and someone is trying to take advantage of us. It's important to have someone like Margaret protecting you.

2016 was a very tough year for my family. My step daughters mother made some significant changes in her life that would have taken an A student out of an excellent school, 400 miles away from everything she knew and loved. Including friends and family, moving her the unknown with a new stepfather that was not out for her well being. We were terrified for what her future was to hold. We were scare, angry, very upset... anxious. Margaret and her staff felt like family, they understood how and why we felt what we felt. And we felt their concerns for our daughter as well. They understood this was our world right now and we just needed the safety of this child to be put first and foremost. Deanne and Kathy were always sure to understand any concern when we contacted the office whether via email or phone so as to relay to Ms. Chamberlain in the best to their ability for her to get back to us with an answer promptly. My step daughter had a change in custody to her father - temporary custody end of summer 2016. Father got sole custody mid summer 2017. Both very unusual results. Thank you all so much!!! We are so grateful.

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 must admit that I was a little apprehensive at our initial contact. but as we continue to work together my confidence began to grow towards him. he has shown exceptional skill in legal analysis and has the ability to articulate complex legal matters with clarity and precision. I was encouraged to see his ability displayed in court setting and through out this case, I have learned much with him. I'm well pleased that you assigned the correct person to my case, due to the proficiency of Matthew Pappalardo legal skill he has manage to dismiss this case without prejudiced. thank you for your service I'm pleased that I reached out to the Alber Firm.

Mekisha is truly an outstanding attorney. From the moment I met her, she was transparent and professional, giving me confidence during what could have been a very difficult process. She demonstrated incredible dedication and stayed present every step of the way, guiding me with care and expertise until my case was ultimately dismissed. Her ability to combine intelligence, unwavering dedication, and a results-driven approach with genuine compassion and a strong human connection is unmatched. Mekisha made a challenging situation manageable and gave me peace of mind throughout. If you’re looking for the best attorney, look no further—she’s it! I was also deeply impressed by her presence in the community. It’s clear that everyone around her respects and believes in her. Her presence is truly felt in any room, and it’s evident that people look up to her as a leader. Mekisha is not only an exceptional attorney but also an inspiring individual.

My son was called back to court when he shouldn't have been. Nobody wanted to help they were lagging trying to make trouble for him .Chelsea stepped up to the plate (unlike the original attorney). Let me tell you she got right down to Business she went above and beyond. Same day it was all cleared and done. She outdoes those expensive attorneys anyway hands down!!!! I've never seen an attorney tackle anything the way she did. She went after it as though it were her own son and kept me posted all the way. All I can say is WOW. Now this woman deserves the title "Attorney". She's passionate about her work and her clients. If I ever need an attorney I'm looking for Chelsea Harris!!!!!! This is a real honest review from a real person!!!

My life turned upside down 3+ years ago when the unexpected happened. Before I knew it I was talking about criminal defense and my name was attached to something I did not do. Dealing with the trauma and now the accusations were more than I could deal with on my own. Fighting for my credibility, reputation and foremost the truth was completely out of my hands. I contacted James A. H. Bell Law Firm and he immediately had his team on my case. Chelsea and the team helped me understand the foreign language of the law. I was guided, not forced into making life-altering decisions. My fears, questions, and opinions were welcome. These people did not know me and in the beginning, they did not know whether I was truly "not guilty", but even still, they treated me with such respect, and never did I feel like a criminal. On many occasions, Chelsea went out of their way to fight for me when I felt I could not pick myself off the floor. She sat with me and cried with me and was fully invested in my case. She took it personally, it wasn't just a job to her! She may look like a cute, petite lady but I promise you she is a firecracker that I would not want to reckon with!! Today, I stand in freedom due to extensive research, interviews, knowledge, and the wisdom to fight for the laws I did not even know I had. Sometimes, crap just happens. It may be due to your own actions or just a curveball that life hands you but I can promise that you will NEVER have a more committed lawyer on your side than Chelsea and her team! I literally owe them my life!

Our case was a very difficult and complex situation crossing a state line. We contacted the James A. H. Bell Law Firm regarding a criminal defense for our son. He turned the case over to his associates, one of which was Chelsea Harris. Chelsea gave it her all for almost 15 months to give my mentally ill son the opportunity to properly defend himself against totally false charges that were made against him in Tennessee. She fully and thoroughly researched related cases and prior rulings in order to help give him this opportunity. We have had contact with her in the evening and on weekend days showing that she has worked long and hard hours on his behalf, not just during customary office hours. There were numerous court appearances that required a lot of drive time for her as well. She shows a genuine interest and caring for her client. The case was finally dismissed and we have Chelsea to thank for this. I will be eternally grateful to her for this and I would definitely recommend her without hesitation for anyone needing a great defense attorney.

Mr. Huston is a phenomenal lawyer and worked incredibly hard on my case even though he was appointed to me, not hired by me. He got me misdemeanor time on a state jail felony case that I was originally offered a year on. He went even further and fought for me to have my time served on the weekends only, in county jail, and everyday I am there counts as two days. he made sure that I was able to keep my job and be at home with my wife and daughters the majority of the week. He recently went out of his way and got the time pushed back that I go into the county jail, while still getting credit for that day, so I could pick up an extra shift at work, which he did not have to do. If I ever were to get in trouble again this man would be my first call. I would highly recommend him to anyone with a criminal case. He's highly intelligible, easy going and hard working. If he did this good of a job on a case where he was appointed by the court, he's obviously worth every dime someone would be paying him.

I worked with John Hopping to request an order of nondisclosure for an old criminal record that was showing up on background checks. Although I had moved to another state, John and his team were able to handle everything without me needing to be there in person. They were great to work with in every step of the process - reviewing my case, filing the paperwork and fees, and getting the petition granted. They have excellent communication and everything was handled quickly and professionally. I highly recommend working with John Hopping.

I strongly recommend this firm. Not only are they reasonably priced, but they are wonderful to work with online and via emails. The firm has a clearly laid out workflow stream online that they update after each step of the non-disclosure process, so you always know what the status of your case is, and can watch it progress. It is very calming to always know the status of your case and the next step despite objection from the D.A.. Mr. John Hopping was extremely helpful and of the utmost professional in his assistance.

I hired John and his wife Courtney to represent me for my criminal case after interviewing 20 other attorneys. I mainly dealt with Courtney but would also speak with John on occasion. I really liked there online case file system so I was able to login and get updates. In my humble opinion, they went above and beyond what I expected. My charges were very serious and I was extremly anxious about the outcome since it would affect the rest of my life. I can't believe that through their tireless work that they were able to get me case dismissed. This was something that I did not believe was even possible. I thank them everyday for all the work they did on my case and there is nothing I will ever be able to do to thank them for what they did short sharing my experience. I am sure that this doesn't happen in every case but it did in mine and it was because I hired the right attorney. Thank you Courtney for returning my life to me. A gift you will never fully understand how much it meaned to me.

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!

Clifford Law Offices helped me with my falling on ice personal injury case. They were incredible for the entire time they represented me. They were supportive and never made me feel like my case was not important. They were patient and answered all my questions throughout the case. They were always responsive and continued to walk me through the process, ensuring I understood the next steps and more importantly the timeline. I could tell they were committed to obtaining the best outcomes for my case. As we neared the end of the case, they talked with me about my options and in the end, they helped me settle my case for an amount that exceeded my expectations. And even after getting the settlement, they continued to stay in touch to get me the settlement funds as quickly as possible. I highly recommend using Clifford Law Offices if you ever need a personal injury lawyer. They are professional, empathetic, and will fight hard for you.

Mr. Safford helped my son with his speeding ticket from Oct. 2015 to Dec. 2015. My son had above 100 mph speeding citation. Since he was tried as adult and is 17 year old, the outcome for the case looked grave. In fact, the judge was so determined to teach the teenage a lesson; he refused to let the case go when the officer did not show up in court. Mr. Safford understood my son’s worries and the teenage mentality. He planned a strategy for the next scheduled court date. He is sympathetic to our situation and understood that this was also a teachable moment for the youngster. When the police officer did not show up the 2nd time, the case was dismissed. We had a better outcome than we hoped for, thanks to Mr. Safford! I gave him a five stars because he dealt well with our case and responsive promptly for all my inquires through email or text.

I am a city employee, in 2014 I was arrested for allegedly committing several felonious non-violent, non- job related criminal offenses. I had to find a lawyer who understood the plight of the average everyday working citizen who was a single parent minority living from paycheck to paycheck. I found him, Steven Questore. Never in my lifetime did I think I would need a lawyer, much less be able to afford one who practices out of the Woolworth Building across the street from City Hall. The moment I reached out to Steven's Law office he returned communication in less than 1 (one) hour. After explaining in detail my situation to him, he assured me that he could help me. Upon my first in person meeting Steven set up a payment plan that allowed me to make affodable monthly payments as he worked on my case. I signed the retainer agreement, he had officially became my lawyer. I met with Steven on several occasions so that we left no stone unturned in my defense, most importantly he believed in my innocence. As I stated I am a city employee and any form of a criminal conviction could have literally ended my career, (I was already placed on administrative duty because of the arrest). How would I provide for my son, pay for his private school, what would happen to us if I lost all that I had worked so hard for my entire life? Scared is an understatement to describe how I felt. Steven understood this, he settled my fears and put my mind at ease. Steven worked on my case keeping me updated every step of the way. This went on for almost two years, it was not always good news, postponements, new DA's, new judges, offers to settle made by the prosecution that were just not acceptable. Never the less Steven always assured me "not to worry", he would often say "I'll tell you when you should worry." Fortunately, he never had to state those words to me. Finally, on July 7th 2016 a year and ten months after my arrest Steven Questore got what started out as an attempt at a Felony conviction down to a FULL DISMISSAL by action of the DA's office. YES, a FULL DISMISSAL you read it correctly. I got my life back and more importantly my career as a city employee remains unblemished. I emphatically encourage anyone who is facing what seems like a no - win situation to reach out to Mr. Questore's Law office, his assistants are always available and do an outstanding job of getting your messages to him. There was never a time that I had to lye in wait for Steven to get back to me, he makes you feel like your case is the only one that matters. Bottom line, he cares about who you are as a person and what affect this will have on your life. He sticks with you, no matter how long it takes, Steven understands the plight of being a minority in America and having to go up against the Justice System. I shudder to think of what would have happened had I not found Steven. As My title says My Lawyer Saved my Career.

I was referred to Jon Kurtz by my estate attorney. Jon enlisted partner Elise Whitley for perspective and backup. While no one enjoys a divorce, Jon and Elise made it understandable for me, a first timer. As we worked through the process, I gained confidence in their knowledge and capabilities. While researching divorce opinions, I found case law that Jon had argued (successfully). Good to have that experience in your corner. Not to mention an adjunct professor at Wake Forest and a Legal Elite. We were stymied by foot-dragging opposing counsel, and the added burden of ending Covid, but Jon keep the momentum going, with steady reminders and requests for responses, getting commitments. Ultimately we did get a settlement I felt was reasonable. My take-away is that the Kurtz firm brings a sense of dignity and respect for the law, exceptional experience and knowledge, and the competency needed for successful family practice. I have no hesitation recommending Jon and company, without question one will receive services of the highest order.

First time he counseled us through a QUADRO which was handled flawlessly. The second was for an adjustment in child support which we didn’t have high hopes for.

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.
