Very bad attorney. Hired him 8 months before court. First court appearance he tells judge, “I haven’t had time to look over the case can we get another date”. He gets it. Every time I talked to him he would said “we have a good case”, and would never really talk to me about it. He would say, “you don’t question a pilot about flying a plane, well this is my plane”. Fast forward or the weekend before trial. He starts asking me questions that he should have asked months ago. He didn’t know the names of the witnesses we were suppose to use. He didn’t know the witnesses the other side had. Court date comes, right before they start he goes in the back with the judge and the other side. He comes out saying, “we are going to lose. You need to take this deal or you will get double.” How do you goto court with a lawyer that tells you that he can’t win after months of saying how good he is in court and how good the case is. DO NOT TRUST YOUR LIFE TO THIS FRAUD OF A LAWYER.

I called around and spoke to quite a few attorneys in town for advice after my mom died. Richard was the most timely, knowledgeable and friendly attorney that I came across. I was very impressed by his professionalism and promptness when it came to a time sensitive matter. I definitely recommend him to anyone I know and I will absolutely reach out to him if I need assistance in the future!

Tim Clancy is, hands down, the best lawyer! I was charged with a DWI and was referred to Tim. I was scared, nervous, and so clueless as to how my life was going to be and how the court process worked. After having my consultation, I immediately felt better and had hope that things would be ok. Tim explained the process and advised me to get started on some of the things the court requires. The outcome of my case was better than I could have ever expected! He is knowledgeable, kind, patient, reponds in a timely manner, and wants the best outcome for any client. I am beyond grateful for having Tim in my corner and highly recommend him!

I recently had the privilege of navigating a challenging divorce situation, where safety, security, and urgency were my paramount concerns. In those uncertain times, I found solace in the capable hands of PLG Legal Services—a team that transformed turmoil into triumph.
My initial contact was with Al Cedro, a paralegal whose efficiency defied time zones. Within two days, he orchestrated my first meeting with attorney Joel Fornara. It felt like destiny—the right people converging at the right moment.
Joel, my attorney, became my anchor. In that singular meeting, I sensed his empathy and his preparedness. We delved into details, leaving no stone unturned. I entrusted him with the weight of my situation, and he carried it with grace.
Joel and Al—like a well oiled machine—worked tirelessly as I tended to my aging parents. They ensured I could attend the one court hearing remotely via the internet, and within ninety days they drew this drama to an amicable closure. Their counsel was more than legal; it was a lifeline.
PLG’s commitment extended beyond paperwork. Their care was palpable—the kind that eases sleepless nights. Convenience? They redefined it. In a world of chaos, they carved out a path—a safe passage toward resolution.
I’ve since left the area, but PLG remains my legal compass. Their legacy is a reminder that distance doesn’t diminish gratitude. They’re not just a team; they’re my go-to harbor for any legal issue
Joel and Al were the architects of my peace. Their support team the unsung heroes. Together, they turned trauma into victory! I came out of this exactly as planned and with more than expected.
With heartfelt thanks to Joel and Al!!!

He thinks a brain injured person doesnt deserve from him any manners, zero respect, they deserve to be treated like they are always acting badly to justify him doing things such as doing absolutely nothing for me for months on end followed by him launching into verbal assault mode against me simply because to him, a brain injured person doesnt deserve the time of day, or to be cared about in any way at all. He literally claimed me asking for mutual respect and offering to apologize for any bad behavior on my end as long as he returned it to me for his own misdoings as being “verbal harassment”.
Nobody deserves to be treated the way he treats me. If i ask you to apologize that is not verbal harassment you jerk

I felt compelled to write this review today due to how valuable their service is. The law office of Anderson Simmons has helped me with my debt claim case immeasurably. This law firm knows all of the Texas debt laws inside and out. They know how things are going to go and what the tactics normally are. They know the usual players. They are trustworthy and they their price was extremely more than fair. They will hand it to you straight and let you decide. I hope not to get into this bind again but if I do, I will 100% rely on this law firm.

It was great working with you! I appreciate all of your hard work. I was recommended by Mahoneys law firm in Dundee. I was a bit skeptical about using a different lawyer. He was great at communicating with me about his openings and was very easy to deal with. I would highly recommend him for any drivers license issues you may have.

I highly recommend Broaden Law if you are considering getting a divorce.
Marisa Nahale and her team were excellent at helping me through the process and ensuring everything was done fairly and correctly. I moved out of the state, and they handled everything from submitting documents to appearing in court on my behalf. They did a superb job keeping me in
the loop, making the whole process a breeze. You won't regret having this incredible team on your side.

Outstanding Trial Lawyer
After I was wrongly charged with a very serious crime I hired David Jones. David did explain to me the risks and benefits of going to trial. I chose to go to trial and David was behind me the entire time making sure I received a fair trial. David meticulously prepared for trial. David did phenomenal at trial. David didn't miss an objection and he was quick. By the end of the trial, the truth was revealed, and David and I beat that vicious, fabricating, exaggerating DA and a jury found me NOT guilty of all charges. During that stressful time in my life, David was a pleasure to work with. David was worth every penny.

I worked with Attorney Dave Jones, of Decker and Jones Law. I cannot say enough about his outstanding representation and my experience with him and working with his firm. He made me feel confident about my case as we worked our way through it all. Along with several changes throughout our case, he was able to pivot and continue to keep my goals first and foremost and not allow for distractions. Dave is very focused and gets the job done. Thank you, Dave.

Honestly I can't say anything about her work. I went to her office over a week ago, and she wasn't there, she had just left for lunch. The secretary for the other law firm in the same Suite took my name and number and taped it on her door, and I have heard nothing. Tried to call numerous times but got no answer and no return calls. She does not have her own secretary. I guess she doesn't need one, or need any new clients

I can’t thank Keith Szachacz enough for his incredible support throughout my case. Keith was with me every step of the way, making sure I wasn’t unjustly prosecuted for something I didn’t do. He carefully reviewed every detail, addressed significant discrepancies in the case, and got my charge dismissed. His dedication and expertise made all the difference, and I always felt confident with him on my side.
A special thanks to Roxy in the office for always being there to answer my questions with professionalism and care. I also want to thank Kepler Funk and Alan Diamond for their help during my initial consultation and for giving me all the information I needed. If you’re looking for a criminal defense team that will truly fight for you, I highly recommend Funk, Szachacz, and Diamond.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Steve Waterkote on a case that needed prompt and effective resolution. From the very beginning, Steve demonstrated exceptional communication, ensuring I was informed and comfortable with every step of the process. His diligence and hard work were evident in the meticulous attention to detail and the thoroughness with which he approached my case.
What stood out the most was Steve's kindness and professionalism. He not only provided expert legal advice but also showed genuine concern for my well-being throughout the case. His ability to combine empathy with expertise is truly commendable.
Thanks to Steve's efforts, my case was resolved with a very satisfactory outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer. I highly recommend Steve Waterkote to anyone in need of legal assistance! Great guy!

Paul represented me in a case, he didn't represent me in the way he should have. Never explained the circumstances of a plea,. Never returns phone calls, tells you he will handle something and doesn't. Horrible attorney, he should be ashamed of himself.

If you want an attorney that tells you untruth, he's your guy. He tells you all along that you won't be speaking in court, 5 minutes befores you walk into court, he informs you that you will need to speak in court, he's your guy. If you want an attorney that won't return your calls, he's your guy. If you want an attorney that tells you he will handle something but he doesn't, he's your guy. Mr. Stabling never explained the consequences fully of a plea deal. Terrible attorney, so very disappointing.

Personally I had bad experience with this firm , initially I contacted the is firm because we need to resolve an issue with something we purchased and we got scammed for more than 5k with a company in Miami , this firm ask for every detail in this case and they took it but after 3 months I was trying to contact them and the person in charge of my case was no longer available and they didn’t tell us anything like an update or anything so I had to call Them and also write many messages via Instagram and after 3 weeks they finally responded just saying that they not gonna take my case without mentioning anything
Terrible customer service and I believe the lawyers or attorneys working there are really amateur and with zero professionalism

Having Camille Coolidge represent me was a positive experience in every way. My wife and I were beyond impressed by her professionalism, attention to detail, organization and clarity. She was prompt and thorough in her responses to all of our questions and concerns. Not only does she strive for excellence as an attorney but she is above all a wonderfully caring human being. Facing legal challenges can be very difficult but Camille Coolidge makes every effort to help her clients and gives them peace of mind through the process. I can’t thank her enough for everything she did for me and my family.

I put one star but I wish I didn't have too..what's so funny is that the people who write a real but negative review, she instantly says she don't know the person and never represented them..smh..She didn't represent me and I will NEVER call her..She represented my nephew and he got life, didn't object to not one thing the prosecution trumped up, how tf a detective contaminate shell casings and she not object to the ones he claims were not..how can the prosecution play video statements in front of the jury when they were not introduced as evidence and she not object..How come not one victim show up in court other then the store clerk who didn't see the alleged aggressors but you let video statements from co defendants get played in open court with no objections..How was two Co defendants in the same cell for a year together when in statements they both admitting to being best friends and not know my nephew..Now with witnesses saying it was two alleged aggressors and none matched my nephew description, how the hell did you not fight for him, Ray Charles could see the B.S that was concocted in this case...But all u people saying she is a hands down good lawyer...lmao..yall must of had traffic tickets..

I recently had the pleasure of working with Corrigan Law Ohio and couldn't be more satisfied with their exceptional service. From the moment I walked through the doors, the staff was welcoming and professional.
The attorneys at Corrigan Law demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge in their respective fields. Their attention to detail and commitment to my case gave me confidence and peace of mind.
I also want to commend Mary Catherine Corrigan personally for her dedication to achieving the best possible outcome.
Overall, Corrigan Law Ohio exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of legal representation. If you're seeking a law firm with a knowledgeable and dedicated team, not some kind of wizards that promise to fix everything look no further than Corrigan Law Ohio.
Thank you, Mary Catherine, for your outstanding service.

Richard Goolsby is a lawyer who instills confidence and peace of mind with his clients. It was very reassuring to hear him say “I will be right there with you”, “I will take care of this”, and “Don’t worry about anything until I get back in touch with you for the next steps”.
He was very professional and caring for our family as we dealt with the loss of a loved one and had to go through the process of the Will/Probate/Guardianship/Custodialship.

During my tenure as a graduate student, I found myself navigating various life priorities when I encountered a major car injury. Amidst juggling academic commitments and personal responsibilities, the injuries sustained required extensive follow-up, further complicating an already challenging situation. Neither I nor the individual who collided with me were residents of Pennsylvania, adding layers of complexity to the case.
I had the pleasure of working closely with Oliva and Kimberely at the time, but the entire staff has been helpful. The attorneys at this firm demonstrated exceptional prowess in securing resources from other states to support my case. Their efforts resulted in a higher insurance payout for my car, which was pivotal given the gravity of the incident. Throughout this tumultuous period, their approachable demeanor and clear communication were indispensable. They understood the urgency of my situation and made every effort to expedite the case.
Navigating through the aftermath of the accident, including managing injuries, finding a new car, and handling legal proceedings, felt overwhelming at times. However, the attorneys provided unwavering support, guiding me through each step with professionalism and empathy.
While the timeline extended beyond expectations, their steadfast commitment never faltered. I am profoundly grateful for their assistance during one of the most challenging periods of my life and wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone facing similar circumstances.
My heartfelt thanks to the entire team for their exceptional work and unwavering support.

Not only is she an ultra professional, knowledgeable, efficient and responsive attorney but she is also kind, considerate, thoughtful and patient. She made us feel at ease and made the whole process of filing adoption paperwork easy to follow and execute. She is trustworthy and you can tell she genuinely loves what she does. We highly recommend Lauren to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy, professional, experienced and caring adoption attorney. We felt like she took care of us as if we were family. She even had a personalized gift made for our son after the adoption was finalized! We're grateful for her top-notch services.

Danielle helped us with our new wills, setting up a new trust, medical directives, and powers of attorney. She even set up a pet trust so that our cat would be taken care of if something happened to both of us.
From our first meeting she was courteous and professional, listening to our concerns and answering our questions. She walked us through all the information we would need to gather, and made everything as painless and easy as possible. I especially appreciated her flexibility and patience with our complicated work schedules.

Matt was appointed to represent me in 2021 for a PCRA. From the time the PCRA was initiated until the outcome, I only had three interactions with Mr. Quigg. He often scheduled phone calls but never followed through. In 2023, the judge ordered a hearing for Matthew to explain his delay in amending my PCRA or filing a Finley letter. Just two days before his court appearance, Mr. Quigg contacted me with apologies, saying my case had “slipped through the cracks.” I later emailed him after missing his court appearance to inquire about the case’s outcome, but received no response. To my surprise, he filed a motion to withdraw, even though he hadn’t heard the full details of my case. I asked if he had my trial transcripts to assess my PCRA claims, but, as expected, received no response. I strongly advise against working with Matthew Quigg.

Stephen Begler is extremely lazy, incompetent and unhelpful. He gave me the run around for months and then when he finally did the job he was hired to do he copied and pasted a petition leaving the wrong name and information on the documents. He does not communicate or return calls. He wants to be paid to do nothing. I would never recommend this so called attorney to anyone.

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.

- 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.

- 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.

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:
-
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -

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.

- 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.

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.
