This lawyer is the best there is in the city, hands down. He's what every lawyer should be, its not about your money, its about you and what he can do for you.

Whatever he says he's gonna do he does it, Lloyd keep on doing what you're doing. I appreciate you and your professionalism, the best the best the best oh just in case I forgot to tell you.

I would give 0 stars if I could. The woman is a straight up thief. I paid 250 for a consultation. She said she could assist me with a letter to start on my behalf but required a 1,000 retainer. I paid the fee and she literally disappeared. First she would answer my emails with excuses. Then she stopped answering me all together. Absolutely atrocious. Do not use this woman for any service. I have reported her to the bar association and will be taking her to court for my money back. Worst attorney I’ve ever come across and not professional at all.

My husband and I hired Mr. Trevino to help my husband with his residency and it’s been the longest time waiting, without knowing anything. I do not know if he is good or not because we have spoken to him ONCE and through a video call were we could even get to see him, so basically just a phone call. They have the worst customer service, secretary is rude and they never know anything. Plus, that’s once in a million when they answer the phone, which is completely rare. As of today we haven’t received any answers, and when we get to speak to any of them, they just ask for money. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER.

I hired Jorge Treviño to help petition my girlfriend under VAWA. He charged me 50% upfront. He did open a case but soon after that, he stopped answering my calls and texts. His secretary at the firm also stopped answering my calls. I regret hiring this lawyer I just wish he was more honest with me and tell me what actually was going on to help my girlfriend instead of wasting our time and money. Please go to a different immigration lawyer thank you.

Disappointed he told me a ringleader received 1 yr more and it was only 4 mos. I received the 2nd worst sentence and was one of the least involved. Only 3 ppl in 8 even got time, should hired a private attorney who looked into evidence and got the snitches testimony, because I was sentenced on the lies of the prosecution and snitch. Just went thru the motions. How I got so much time compared to the 2 ringleaders doesn't make sense. It should be equitable. Ppl who did much more recieved 1 year or no time. My life is ruined, I'm 65, and health completely gone due to this, no money, will be a suicide can't live on SSI while ringleaders are out 3 mos after me with a million dollars. Judge didn't even let characters witness at sentencing speak, and Nance did nothing. That is Not normal, he could have filed something to let him speak, and coaches me and a lot more, I know other attorneys do.

MR Nance, Was so great before he agreed to take my case he did a ton of work just to get the correct information to answer my questions, Once i retained him he always was there to answer my questions and inform me on progress, He always showed up to court before me and represented me with respect and dignity. The out come of my case went better than i could have imagined. Thanks to him.

This "attorney" really does not deserve any stars at all. He doesn't care about what you have to say or provide, as an attorney that should be the first thing you do for your clients. He lacks motivation and has no pride in what he does to represent you. He's too old to fight. Not aggressive "attorney" at all whatsoever. He just cared about his money and doesn't even bother to keep you updated nor informed on what's going on. He's always late to every court hearing and waits the last minute to tell you when court is, and goes into court like he just crawled out of bed. This guy fell asleep during court on multiple occasions, and incriminated the case more than what it was. He talks really loud, with no filter. I honestly think he needs to be looked at VERY VERY closely by the state bar. He should NOT represent ANYONE AT ALL.

Mr Strauss is a top notch defense attorney. During trial my thoughts were "wow this man is like a seasoned prize fighter". He threw so many punches I lost count. His determination and preserverance awed me. The jury came back with a guilty verdict but new evidence was revealed and now the tables have turned and the judge is working with Mr Strauss to help set my ex husband free. I can tell you this with certainty that Mr. Srauss is a brawler and will fight to the end to set you free.

This Lawyer is nothing short of a complete inept lawyer. Not only did he put me on the stand to defend myself against a jury on a DUI charge. He asked me no questions involved with the case, just my name, profession etc and closed with allowing the DA to rip me apart with questions that were clear hearsay and opinions with no objections whatsoever. Seriously - stay away! I paid him and he got the money as a pd. HE EVEN FAILED TO FILE THE APPEAL IN TIME as requested while i was locked up.

I was being charged with PWID Sch I/II Drug in Fairfax and Prince William for a DUI and Mr Courtnall got my charges in Fairfax dismissed and my DWI was amended from DWI to Wreckless driving and I was extremely happy because I did not lose my job,. Did I mention I was arrested over the weekend and he filed a bond motion and I was released that Monday what an awesome Attorney. My aunt referred me to him as he also helped her with a Juvenile Case in July where here charges were dismissed as well . Extremely busy but very knowledgeable and trustworthy. I recommend him to all my friends and family who are being charged in Criminal or Traffic Court in Both State and Federal Courts in Northern VA and he also goes out as far as Richmond and Roanoke.

I would recommended Mr Courtnall b/c he had helped my Uncle with a Federal Case that consisted of series of Robberies where my Uncle was accused of being a leader of a "violent" hispanic gang which he was not. We hired him 1 day (that Friday and Court MONDAY) before my Uncle was set for a Jury Trial and Mr Courtnall is a busy man but his Office Manager and other Assistants helped us throughout the whole process even accommodating us on a Saturday & Sunday although they are closed on weekends. My uncle was convicted of Conspiracy and all the robberies and gun charges were dropped. He was given a 5 years sentence and we are happy as his co-def all got 35+ Years ....... He also helped my friends Uncle win a Jury verdict to dismiss Murder Charge and lower it to Voluntary Manslaughter and he only got 1 years ... I love his services and his Office like I said Busy but they do have prompt service and Mr Courtnall has good knowledge of Criminal and Traffic cases both State and Federal ........ We even were given his personal cell number and email and kept in touch regularly ...He's as good if not better then Whitestone and Associates and very very reasonable prices

I hired Zach to handle my divorce, at first he was great, told me everything I wanted to here and I actually felt good. Fast forward several months, Zach has been paid 10s of thousands, he stops communicating, and for six weeks sat on a request and deadline to provide certain documents. He waited 6 weeks, after two deadlines passed to finally provide me with the motion. It took me 2 weeks to get my documents, but since he waited so long, I was required to pay my wife's attorney fees. This is just the start. Please follow Colorado Attorney Regulatory Counsel -#24-1750 case to track this and the rest of the 8.4c violations being raised against Mr. Newland.

I paid this guy $15,000 to appeal my case he asked for $12,000 I gave him $15,000. I ended up going to federal prison. This attorney from day one when he took my money he started billing me for just giving him money then he stopped answering my phone calls And then while I’m in prison, I find out that my appeal got dropped in September 2023 January 2024. I finally get in touch with this attorney and he says oh I sent you a letter. Did you get it in which he lied he never sent a letter And then he sends a letter and it gets there two weeks later in January 2024 when my appeals case was dismissed September 2023 now I’m asking him for my paperwork. He is refusing to handover my paperwork if somebody’s looking for a lawyer, do your research do not hire this lawyer he is not a lawyer , he’s a con man feeling money from people just like two other attorneys I hired and spend over $100,000 on a case that I still ended up going to prison people beware of this guy.

The only thing Zachary Newland is good at is making excuses. He charges $395 per hour for you to listen to him complain and make excuses for not filing that motion or making that phone call. He will blame it on his personal life, his schedule, his problems. He is consistently several hours late to scheduled appointments. He will ignore you for weeks or even months at a time, then come back with excuses for not achieving anything on your case. "The District Attorney was mean to me" is not a valid excuse to abandon your duties.
In regards to my case, Zachary Newland only managed to produce two documents in total: his entry and his withdrawal. This somehow cost me several thousand dollars. His excuse? He "needed time to think." My advice is: don't waste your money paying Zachary Newland to think.

Had we stayed with him my innocent son would be serving 5 yrs w/10 yrs probation. He was late for court twice both early trial calls so it wasn't like he was tied up in court elsewhere. Not prepared, canceled numerous meetings, no objections to a witness being led , no counter offer on states offer. Thank God we went elsewhere from Musca law it took a new law firm 2 days to get a plea deal to keep our innocent son from going to jail . We had been with Musca 1 1/2 yrs. He just didn't seem to care. Except when more money was needed. Very dry think twice is my opinion.

Mr Issac Green is a Crook. This lawyer is a crook. Please do not hire him. If you do hire him because you think he will win your case make sure all your work that's needed is done upfront by him he did nothing on my case. He overcharged me for work that I've done myself he's a crook. Him and his associate Mr. Dean Owens two crooks. I don't know how they're still in business. Save your money and find somebody else run fast. He's in an office Down at liberty Place in Philadelphia with Mincy & Fitzpatrick. I can't even believe they're in business with such a crook and a thief.

I hired David Nick and during his time on my case he was sanctioned 3K dollars. He also appeared late to a hearing which was followed by a reprimand by the judge. I watched attorney Nick for the first time in court, and when the judge asked him a simple question, his response was nothing like his written legal brief, he seemed to forget what he had written. Mr. Nick was paid 20k dollars for a trial but when the case didn't allow for a trial and Mr. Nick refused to return the money. I am forced to file a complaint with the State Bar. When confronted about the problems Mr. Nick caused in my case, he arrogantly denied any and all of the facts. Mr. Nick claims to be a Navy veteran, I also am a veteran, who regrets ever hiring him.

Many years ago, during a time that was SO ambiguous in federal bs. State laws that anymore and their mother could've been arrested - this amazing lawyer named J David Nick and his associate saved me and my boyfriend from years of false imprisonment. Being framed basically, his associate and him devised a strategic plan which led the accusers right into purgering themselves during deposition. Never even went to court. BEST LAWYER EVER.

The poster of the negative review received full compensation and attorneys fees for his claim. We were his successor counsel after his first attorney ended the representation. A dispute arose over whether attorneys fees could be credited in any way back to the client, something federal law prohibits. The firm provided the client full relief, this we were surprised by his review, particularly after he expressed appreciation for the firm’s efforts.

I was a client of Kevin Byrnes and I would not recommend him as an attorney. Don’t construed experience as success. Ambiguity with him is your loss. As a client, I did not like that he constantly boasted of select past cases and I also did not like the ongoing attorney/client disagreements. My recommendation? Take your chances with another attorney. I’ve also noticed one of his employees recommended him in a review. I’ll end this review as I started it: “Caveat Emptor or Retain at your own RISK.”

0/10 - Would not recommend.
Ms. Sparrow showed up late and didn't seem to be prepared for our case. My abuser was caught dead to rights on a DVPO violation. When the subpoenas for security footage and witnesses went ignored (these were vital to proving what my abuser had done), Ms. Sparrow decidedto go forward with the hearing anyway. Needless to say, we lost.
It feels like I paid Ms. Sparrow almost $6k just to empower my abuser. If your case is anything more serious than a parking ticket, I would strongly recommend you look elsewhere for representation.

Ms. Sparrow did a fantastic job on my case and I am thankful.
I have a CDL license and for me it is more than the right to drive from one place to another, it is my living.
Rather than describe the aspects of the case I will just say that I had gotten into some trouble unintentionally with the police and as sometimes happens, things we don't
realize are as serious as they are, threaten are livelihood.
Thankfully Ms. Sparrow did a wonderful job and saved my career by getting mycase voluntarily dismissed.
Hopefully I won't ever run into a legal situation again, but I know to call her first if I need help again.

Attorney was hired. Be sure to ask questions and understand your case. He is a flat fee attorney, be aware of what that means and how much he will and won't work on your case. Very little was done on my case. Do your research and do not rely on reviews or credentials.

He is an attorney that is extremely knowledgeable in various aspects of the law and did an awesome job at helping me remain confident. He doesn't beat around the bush and tells it how it is where as some attorneys will tell you what you want to hear just to get cash from your pocket. I felt very comfortable with him as my attorney and would highly recommend him to anyone that is in need.

I was referred to Mr. Muldoon by a friend for my divorce. He made it all sound so easy. In the end, the final court appearance, he threw me to his associate. The final outcome was NOT what I agreed to. And I can't argue the facts because he didn't file the oral stipulation with the clerk's office! As I just learned recently. Every attorney should treat a client like they would want to be treated. I think Mr. Muldoon likes writing about law more than he likes practicing it.

Used caution and look at other reviews, they claim 95% satisfaction guarantee, complete lie
Joe is a horrible human being, preaching Catholic values

My fiance and I are apart of a case dealing many false accusations against him, he was given Champion as his attorney by court. My fiance has been neglected and ignored, for example Champion seems to not care about his clients, nor does he care to communicate with them, my fiance being one. He has not helped in any way what so ever to help my fiance with the charges against him. Champion does not talk to or meet with him before we go to into court, just over all is doing very little to help anyone in need of serious legal help.
I have tried contacting Champion myself in hopes of our side of things being heard, especially by an Attorney that is supposed to be helping us, but I too have been ignored after many attempts..

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.

- 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.

- 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. -
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.
