Oh where or where could she Be??This attorney Cecilia Eaton has vanished. Completely ghosted! The office is being demolished, no floors, no frames, no doors. No signs indicating were they went. Not backed by the BBB so No way to contact her either. Seems like she took some people's money and decided to go out of business!!!!

Mrs. Benson exceeded our families expectations in one of the worst times of our lives. When we felt hopeless, she helped us not only find hope, but helped our family have a chance to be together again. Our case began at the start of Covid shutdowns and Mrs. Benson got to work immediately helping us navigate through constantly changing times. She was compassionate and always willing and available when we needed her. She made us feel as if we were her only client. The case ended and our family member was in a far better position than we could have imagined. We are forever grateful for her and we highly recommend her.

I have nothing but nice things to say about Mr. Rajek . He was kind, professional, and highly knowledgeable. It is obvious why I was referred to him for my OWI . This was a first for me and I had no clue as to the process in court etc. His office remained in close contact and helped walk me through the process. My case is closed now and I was very happy w/ the outcome. Mr. Rajek did an outstanding job ..highly recommend his services !

Attorney Rajek worked very hard to help me with a speeding ticket. He helped me immensely, and I think that the last review should not be taken to heart. It was my experience that Mr. Rajek did his job with integrity and professionalism. I was very happy with the work he did and would highly recommend his services.

I had received a spending ticket in Eau Claire, being from Illinois and already having two on my record in a year, I could not have another moving violation or else my license would be suspended. So, I definitely needed some legal representation to get the speeding ticket dropped to a non moving violation. Being from out of the area I had no idea where to turn. So did a Google search and came across Mr Rajek.
The secretary was very responsive and took my information, as well as understood the importance of the matter. I know nothing is a 100% but it was a speeding ticket and could be worked down to a simple non moving violation. His services ended up running me $500. He did absolutely nothing but drop it down a level. I still ended up paying the ticket as well as his legal fees.
Not being from the area I had no idea what was going on in the case and his contact with me was minimal at best. My case actually just kept getting delayed cause he kept moving the court date. I finally got a notice in the mail from Eau Claire regarding my fines. (That's how I found out the verdict) Consequently, I lost my license for 6 months. From there I contacted them and explained what happened. I would call and email numerous times and would only get his legal assistant, and was informed that he would do what he could to change the verdict and drop my ticket to a non moving violation.
I finally got a hold of Mr Rajek and explained myself and he then tried to get the ticket dropped but at that point it was to late. His demeanor over the phone was very unprofessional, from there I could deduct why I got the results I did.
My experience with Mr Rajek (as well as my own fault in previous tickets) ended up costing me a suspension on my license. I am very unhappy in the way he conducted my case as well as business. In short, it was a waste of my time and cost me a lot more than the money I wasted on his legal services.

I hired Veronica White for a very simple case dealing with domestic violence, where I had 209A's in place. Against my wishes, she refused to let me testify, and insisted on a bench trial. The results were disastrous because she did not want to spend the time. I had been victimized many times, and knew what I was doing, yet Veronica did not allow me my due process.

There's a lot of positive things I can say about Veronica White but I will keep it as short as possible. What I can say is that she is the absolute best lawyer I've ever met and she's a fierce fighter and believer in her clients and proven their innocence. Veronica has successfully vacated a case I had that was hanging over my head for 10 years that would have led to lengthy separation from my family and for that I'm eternally grateful. I still remember the day we met and she took over my case. She looked me in the eye and told me not to stress as she will move mountains to win my case and that's exactly what she did. If you're wise enough to hire this lady just know you have made a very smart decision.
Sincerely,
Rich

I hired Charles (Chuck) to deal with a speeding ticket I received in Lakeview Arkansas. The town is a bit of a speed trap and has very few residents, but can pay quite a bit for their police vehicles it seems. Regardless, I was speeding and given a ticket. I contacted Chuck to handle my case and he did a great job. The City of Lakeview was very non-responsive so when it came down to a court date he listened to my concerns and drove there to the clerk's office in the small town of Lakeview to try and correct the problem. At that point, they were even saying I was failing to appear at court after he had mailed them and been trying to contact them. The City of Lakeview should be ashamed for being unprofessional and not following the legal process as they should be. Chuck got the case taken of and I'd hire him again if I ever ran into a legal issue in Arkansas. A+

I gave him money to start paperwork for an emergency custody hearing, and still will not return my calls or emails. (This has been more than 6 months) His phone was even been disconnected for a short time and I assumed he disappeared and still no response!!! He also filed paperwork with the court for contempt against my ex-husband for non payment and he never followed up with that case either!!! Why aren't more people upset?!?!?!

My wife and I were basically thrown into his lap by default. This is one of the best things that ever happened to us. If you can go through life never needing a attorney that's great. If you find yourself in need, Charles R Chadwick has been a GREAT family lawyer for us. He has proven to be a powerful litigator, balanced with a likability in court which in our experience wins cases!!!
The last time we were in court ( 7/22/2013 ) with Charles, the Defendant told us the only reason we won was because, quote ... "You had a better attorney". Indeed !!!

Both of our divorce cases were pretty much an attorney's worst nightmare.

He screwed me over big time in my divorce. I struggled my 28 years marriage and my 3 kids and till he passed February 2019. I got nothing and had to pay him $5 k and at 66 still working and struggling. His wife of 10 years got his 401 k Pension and disability and told none of his family or his kids he passed and cremated him immediately. He called me over 35 times from September till December after no contact since his son committed suicide in 2009 because he married Mary . No contact with his kids since he abandoned them in 2000 and then calls to get us all back because of his loveless marriage and stated Mary’s was just a companion. His kids deserved something from their dad. But not even a call he died. I called her in December to ask about him she did not want to tell us anything. A real Gold digger. Thanks Nunzio. Iafrate told me to fire you I should of!!

He was appointed to represent me before there was a PD office in Arlington. Called him every single day for two months while I was in jail. Never accepted my call. Never came to see me until the night before my trial. For two months prior to sentencing I called every week. Wrote several letters. Mr. Dennis never responded nor did what I asked in the letters. At sentencing I received ten times my sentencing guidelines. A 25 year active prison sentence. Were it not for my persistence, hard work, and the help of a quality post conviction attorney I would still be in prison. It took me 16 1/2 year to earn a pardon from Governor Northam. Had Mr Dennis done his job with a modicum of professionalism I would likely have been home over a decade ago. I wouldn’t even ask him to defend me in traffic court much less if years of my life were in the balance.

I have had to hire Mr. Dennis for both of my sons who got in trouble with the law. He takes the time to get the details of the case and is very professional. He was able to handle both of their cases with great results. I hope their is no need for legal representation in the future but in the event that anyone in this family does need a lawyer, Attorney Harry Dennis will be the only one for us!

Mr. Green was an awesome Attorney for me. He did exactly what he said he would do. There is a stipulation. You have to do what he says to do. That’s the reason you hire them! He made that clear to me on our first visit. I was awarded custody of my children in 2008 because of this Mr. Green. Though it’s been a very long time I can only image he has gotten better!
Thank you Kelly!

Stay away from this attorney. I handed him $500 to answer a single question. He spent 30 minutes with me and told me he would get back to me with a written answer in about 10 days. Two months later, after numerous phone calls and emails to his paralegal, I received an email from him that never even addressed my specific question. When I complained, and demanded a refund, I never heard back from him. Waste of money and waste of time. This guy is the stereotypical lawyer that everyone tells jokes about at parties... Do yourself a favor and research someone else to handle your life's most important issues. Greene just doesn't care!

John Ward and his team have been nothing less then spectacular. My case has been a load and a half, DV, divorce, custody battle and many appeals. John has never backed down, he has stood strong and always fought for my son and I's best intrest and keeping us safe all the while. John and Michelle are always a phone call away and are very supportive, making sure all the bases are covered. I am so thankful for everything that John and his team do to stay on top of everything, 10/10 recommended.

BEWARE! John Ward is a scum bag. He makes glitter look like gold during a consultation and after he receives payments does absolutely nothing. Mr Ward is a thief. He makes up false billing fees stating he is doing work for your case when he does nothing. Even though I lost thousands of dollars, firing Mr Ward was the best decision I could have made. Please don’t waste your time and money on this man. After all the complaints with the State Bar of Wisconsin I am surprised he is still able to he’s not disbarred!

John Anthony Ward is representing us in a custody case. Mr. Ward is a consummate professional, and he treats us as though we are his only clients. He works hard for us, and he keeps us informed about the progress of the case. We win every time we go to court thanks to Mr. Ward.

Andres did nothing in the case of my son. He took over the case from Ashely Whitham, who was doing a terrible job and Andres continued on with it. He scared my son so bad that he took a plea deal that he never should have taken just so Andres did not have to work to help my son with his case. Do not use Andres if you want to be treated fairly and have a positive outcome to your case. Do not use Andres if you do not have the money to pay him because money is his main motivation, if you do not have any, you lose. Do not use if you expect him not to work with the prosecuting attorney to throw the book at you. Does not keep your best interests to heart will only use you to further his career. Do not use unless you want to lose your case.

I was a client of Andres Guevara & I would like to take this opportunity to say what an outstanding job he did for me on my drug case. This was a very stressful time for me & my family & Andres guided us through the entire process, displaying nothing but great expertise, professionalism & support. Pricilla, his paralegal, is also a wonderful asset to the practice! I highly recommend this law firm!

It is my privilege to recommend Jennifer Coden as an excellent and trustworthy divorce attorney. I believe her work would not only meet your expectations but exceed them. Jennifer Coden and her team were caring, honest , reliable, professional and got the job done. She not only represented me in court with skill and professionalism but was there for me emotionally. She can guide you through the process. I was very impressed with Jennifer's ability to state my case. I was represented better than I could have imagined. My needs were put first and I was treated with compassion. My opinions were valued and my doubts were reassured while being informed of the law. She calmed my nerves and the process was always explained. Her team, Lorie,Nicole, and Matt, always had her back when she was in court and were available for me. They kept me informed and I thank them for that. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney. I will recommend her as she was recommended to me. Thanks so much Jennifer for all you continue to do! You will not be disappointed if you hire her.

Most, to the best of my knowledge plan on getting divorced. I did not after many years of marriage. When that ugly day arrives one searches for the best attorney they can have. I interviewed several and knew I made the right choice when I chose Jennifer Coden. She held my hand all to often and understood what my needs were. There were many hurdles as my EX went through four attorneys, each one more incompetent than the next. Jen and her associate, Nicole Silver and their staff kept them all in check. Their professionalism, expertise in the law and often the need to educate the opposing attorneys, led to closure of my marriage and allowed me to move on. I thank them always.

I hired Jennifer a year ago after interviewing numerous attorneys to go through a very emotional divorce. As soon as I met her I knew that she was the attorney for me. She is warm, caring, friendly, patient, thoughtful and extremely knowledgeable. She made me feel better immediately. Many times I have had emotional days and I knew I could call her up and she would talk me through whatever it is that was bothering me. When we had to appear in Court I had full confidence in her as she was always prepared and got us in and out with no time wasted. I felt that she was very reasonable as she did not waste any time when dealing with the other side. I have recommended Jennifer to many people and they all felt the same and have thanked me for recommending her through the difficult time in their life.

Failed to effectively communicate with me. Mr. Reynosa allowed inaccurate information presented by prosecutor to harm me. Did not correct factual errors of my PSI. During the sentencing phase, he did not advocate on my behalf. Did not mention favorable or mitigating factor as well. The billing is highly questionable. Me and my family are extremely disappointed. I'd advise caution to anyone looking for representation from this attorney.

Jeff was the perfect person I needed to talk to! My case was a little complicated because we are planning to move so my best option was to start my process with someone where we’re moving to. I got all my questions answered and he guided me to the right direction I needed to go. He was able to throw out some name, numbers and where I can look to do my own research. I appreciated how well he was able to explain everything and his time.

Mr. Jeff is a great lawyer to have on your side. He was patient in explaining our charges and what we were looking at as far as proceeding with our case. He was able to give us the best deal and has a very personable relationship in working with the big guys in the court house. Don’t hesitate to look into hiring him, he will absolutely help you wether it’s traffic charges up to a criminal defense lawyer like he was for us. We were able to afford a great lawyer for a good price, if anything we didn’t pay him enough!

I strongly recommend Pat Arata over any other lawyer for representation for an DWI(OWI)
I unfortunatley highered another lawyer from Crown Pt, IN before calling Pat Arata.
I wish I hired Pat initially. Unlike the other lawyer Pat cares about his clients, does not practice unethical law and will get back to you when you leave a message.
I was arrested for a OWI and read all these good reviews about the "other guy" and therefore went with him. Yes there are ways to manipulate the system and only look like the "best".
Pat will take the time to discuss your options and will do anything to help you restore your driving priveleges. He knows how to fight for your rights. He has written books and regulary runs seminars to teach other lawyers about DWI's and OWI's.
Pat may charge more than some other lawyers but as the saying goes "you get what you pay for"
Also Pat will travel to other areas even if your OWI is out of the Fort Wayne area.
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND PAT IF YOU WANT A FIGHTING CHANCE.

Mr. Poe is the best! He did a great job for me and I recommend him without reservations. He is a good listener, gave me straight/honest answers, kept me in the loop on what I needed to do, and was flexible when I needed a little more time on some paperwork.
When my case went to court, he was right by my side. I feel that I probably got better, more personal service with him than if I had gone with a larger law firm. He also gave me a recommendation to a different attorney when I asked about something that is outside his area of practice.

I am consistently impressed by Anjali’s wisdom and dedication. Despite facing ongoing challenges with opposing counsel, who have been uncooperative and difficult, Anjali has been a beacon of support. She has answered every phone call, provided insightful advice, and demonstrated an exceptional ability to navigate the complexities of my case.
Anjali’s expertise in handling interactions with all parties involved is remarkable. She has shown genuine care and commitment to representing my interests, both custodial and financial. Her advocacy has been crucial in managing post-judgment custody issues, particularly those exacerbated by an ex-husband with borderline personality disorder.
Whenever I needed to speak with Anjali or sought guidance, she was always available. She made time to explain complex matters thoroughly, ensuring I felt confident in my decisions. Above all, Anjali’s concern for my well-being and her dedication to my best interests have made her not just a lawyer, but a valued friend.
Her kindness, empathy, and unwavering support continue to be a great source of strength for me. I am deeply grateful for her exceptional service and personal care.
Thank you, Anjali, for everything you do.

I was fraudulently accused of an assault on a peace officer. Emily took my case and was very thorough in requesting my video evidence, witness statements, and documentation that was pertinent in proving the charges were false. She always instilled confidence that she could get me the best outcome. Communication was excellent, she kept me informed of all proceedings through court appearances and the entire process. Anytime I had a concern or question about the case she would respond to my text messages instantly. Ultimately, she got the charges dismissed. Emily Detoto is at the top of my list if I ever find myself in another terrible situation! Thanks for getting my life back!
I highly recommend her to anyone that wants the BEST criminal defense lawyer in Texas, contact “The Texas Warrior Lawyer” Emily Detoto.

I had the unfortunate experience of being charged with a second offense of Driving While Intoxicated (DWI 2nd) following a traffic accident that was witnessed by a police officer. Considering the high stakes of the case, including the almost certain loss of my career, I knew I needed the best legal representation available.
At the outset, my case seemed pretty hopeless to me. I had refused all field sobriety tests, but a warrant was obtained, and my blood was taken. The test results showed a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) slightly above the legal limit at the time of booking into Harris County Jail.
Fortunately, I immediately retained Emily Munoz Detoto as my attorney, which turned out to be the best decision I could have made. From the start, Emily displayed exceptional professionalism and dedication to my case, and it was evident that she was a seasoned criminal defense attorney. Though her legal advice was blunt at times, it was exactly what I needed to hear.
Throughout the entire process, Emily was confidently on-point and kept me informed every step of the way. The attention paid to her by the court and prosecutors was reassuring, and I give her all the credit for the favorable outcome of my case. My initial hope was for her to negotiate with the DA to reduce my charges or secure a pre-trial intervention, but Emily went above and beyond my expectations.
She reviewed the evidence with me and laid out a clear strategy that included best and worst-case scenarios. She reassured me that if necessary, she was prepared to hire experts and take the case to trial. Her commitment and attention to detail were outstanding, and she made sure I understood every step of the process. Ultimately, she got my case dismissed entirely without the need for a trial, probation, or job search.
Overall, I highly recommend Emily Munoz Detoto to anyone in need of legal representation. She is a true professional who genuinely cares about her clients and is highly capable of achieving the best possible outcome for them. Emily gave me peace of mind throughout the entire process, and I am grateful for the exceptional service she provided. Thanks, Emily, for giving me my life back!

We hired Emily to represent my brother on a Capital Murder case. She was paid 50k. She made many promises and assured us that he was in good hands and that we had nothing to worry about at all. That she knew what she was doing. She visited my brother one time in jail since last year and has failed to communicate with us and him on what is going on. He was offered a plea deal that he had no idea about it what to do when he went to court. She has constantly threaten my family that she is removing her self off case cause she doesn’t like for us to ask questions. She thinks someone is always out to get her. Hiring her has caused more stress and worries than anything. She cant even remember a conversation we had the day before which makes us wonder what’s really going on. She constantly speaking down on us every chance she gets and blocks us for contacting her which is very unprofessional. At this point we don’t even know what she really had been doing on the case.

Mr. Judin upon hiring him told me that my case was weak and that he would get it dismissed especially because his wife works in that district and they know him. "I get my way"...were his words just to sucker me in and hire him. After all was said and done with everything in my favor after he was fully paid my case wasn't worth fighting for any longer. Now Im struggling to find work.

Hank Judin III claims to file expungement petitions for DiVERT court graduates “Pro Bono” as his way to “give back to the recovery community”. However he claims he only asks for the filing fee. He quotes ~$1000. The actual fee to file the petition pro se is < $300.
The petition template took less then 30min to fill out with information readily available and there is no additional charge for using an e-filing service.

Thank you both to Attorney Conor Stewartson and Paralegal Diane Barrera at Colorado Legal Defense Group for representing our daughter in her criminal defense case.
My husband and I spoke to several Attorney firms to help us and after speaking with Diane and the Intake Attorney Cole Presnell, we decided to go with their firm. I can honestly say that Diane was key in helping us make the decision to use their firm. She was very understanding and genuinely cared, being a mother herself. She was available early on and even followed up to make sure we landed safely in CO that same evening to be there for our daughter.
Conor was assigned to our case and I was advised although he was new with the firm he had an extensive background as a Criminal defense Attorney. Initially, I was concerned w/him being new to the firm but after speaking with him, doing a background check and reading up on him, he put those concerns to rest.
There were times it was difficult to get a hold of Conor but my understanding was his contact phone was still being setup at the time, since he was new w/the firm. But he did return my call when I really needed him over the weekend on a late evening. Also, Diane was always available even on weekends (not normal or expected) and kept the communication going if Conor was not available due to being in court or working w/another client.
Ultimately, the outcome of our case was in our daughter's favor and it was completely dismissed all due to the hard work of both Conor and Diane. Their skill set and ability to do what they do, fighting on our daughter's behalf produced the best outcome possible and we are so thankful to them both!
The billing process early on was easy and in speaking w/Diane that was not even a concern at the time with what was going on. Which truly shows the caliber of the firm and their people as a whole of who they are and what they are about.
We are thankful to both Conor and Diane and are truly blessed to have been represented by them, but as I mentioned to Diane, we pray we never need their services again! But would definitely recommend them and the firm if we ever needed legal help.

I worked with Chloe and she handled my entire case, from start to finish, with complete confidence and attention to detail. She saved me hundreds if not thousands of dollars in a variety of different actions. I am grateful for her understanding and support. I do think it matters which attorney you get assigned to, but I will just leave it at that. Ask for Chloe if she’s available. She was exemplary and always left me feeling like my case was the number one priority.

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:
-
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. -
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.
