I received a Reckless Driving 5-point ticket in a Camden County town. Officer didn't like the way I changed lanes. We pleaded down to Unsafe Driving (Which is a larger fine but no points and no recurring insurance charges). Admittedly it had been 19 years since my last traffic violation, which I'm sure helped the judges decision... but stepping down from 5 points to no points is a huge win regardless of the circumstances (in my mind). Never had to go to a trial with officer. Simply negotiated with prosecutor at initial hearing, and judge agreed.

Mr. Traub was successful in obtaining a dismissal for my careless driving ticket. He graciously provided extensive advice (on several occasions) even prior to his retention, and it is my belief that he sincerely cared about the outcome of my case. He is very professional, knowledgeable, accessible and has a wonderful personality. It was truly a pleasure to have him represent me, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone seeking a positive result.

Attorney Moore is undeniably spectacular. He is extremely detailed oriented and utilizes his intellect to deliver his points with precision. In the midst of an aggressive prosecuting attorney, he eloquently defended my case, which led to a swift dismissal. He is trustworthy, dependable, and I couldn't have chosen a better attorney to represent me.

Ramon A. Moore provided me with exceptional counseling. I hired him for a DUI hearing for the impoundment of my vehicle. He made sure I understood my case and my options. He was a great representation in court, he thoroughly went over the proposal he created for me. He fought my case head on and won. I am extremely satisfied with the results and would recommend Ramon A. Moore to anyone in a heart beat.

Carter is an outstanding and passionate attorney. I was arrested a couple years back on Halloween at a road block by State Patrol for a "DUI" after passing all the field sobriety tests. I was driving a friend home, but State Patrol arrested me anyway. I contacted Carter after I was bailed out. He quickly took my case, reviewed the evidence, police tapes, and was determined to prove I was truly innocent and should not have been arrested that night. My case was presented at the state level where they agreed I was not to be charged with a DUI due to the lack of evidence. Since the case was brought to the state court, Carter was able to arrange a plea bargain to reduce to reckless driving with no probation or nonsense alcohol and drug evaluation/classes. Carter fought for my case and was able to make the best of the situation and prove me innocent. The case took multiple years to close, however, he kept me informed of what was happening and what to expect the entire time. He is patient and will answer any questions you have and fight for what you. I highly recommend Carter. He is very passionate about his job and is truly on the defendants side.

A few months ago I was arrested on several serious charges. After initially consulting with Carter, I decided he would be the best person to represent me based on his clear understanding of my situation, and his ability to explain what was happening in layman's terms. I’m pretty ignorant when it comes to legal processes, but Carter was very patient in explaining my options to me, and answered all of my questions completely - regardless of how silly or paranoid they were. He was attentive and professional through the entire process, which reassured me I had made the right decision in hiring him. Ultimately, Carter was able to negotiate a reasonable plea agreement with the prosecutor, which was really the best possible outcome for my case. I hope I’ll never require this type of legal service again, but I would certainly rehire Carter if I did.

I required an out of state lawyer and law firm in NH to aid me in my legal issue earlier this year in 2017.I chose Donna Brown and Wadleigh, Starr & Peters, PLLC because of their high ratings and reviews. Donna maintained continuous contact with me providing updates via phone/text and emails which was a complete joy to me and my family especially due to the nature of our issue and being an out of state client. Donna answered all my questions offered key advice and really showed that she cared absolutely about me. Donna completed my case in an exemplary manner and we had better than outstanding results. Myself and my family are extremely happy with the accuracy and humility and privacy that Donna and her firm afforded us. I would refer Donna Brown and Wadleigh ,Starr & Peters, PLLC to anyone whom requires 1st Rate lawyer services with personal and effective professional results. It’s a wonderful thing when someone tells you exactly what they can do to assist you and they come through on every count. Thank you always and forever Donna you were an absolute joy to work with.

From very beginning, Kevin was always upfront with me. When he first took on my case, I knew right away that he was the right attorney for me. I knew this because in the very first meeting, after reviewing the charges and the options on the table were grim, he told me the truth and what my expectations should be. He didn't sugar coat it, but on the same token, he also told me that its still early and he would do absolutely everything he could to help me. And he did! He gave me a list of things I needed to do right away to start helping my case and checked on me regularly to make sure I was doing them. Many of those things I believe helped the judge make her decision. But most importantly, Kevin found that the evidence the State Police claimed to have was inaccurately measured in their favor. And so he hired an expert in the field we needed, and because of that the State Police were forced to correct the details of the charges brought against me. (The State Police rounded up the quantities in order to push my charges into a Class 1 Felony) Everything Kevin did for me was by the book. He was early to every meeting and court appearance. He answered every call , text and email. And on top of that, he continued to call me and check up on me throughout my entire diversion program (2+ years) and further. I truly believe that Kevin Buchan is the reason that I was able to be with my wife for the birth of our first born. We followed his instincts and advice, and managed to turn was was looking to be an unfairly long sentence, into a diversion program that let me be with my family. To this day I am eternally grateful for what you did for me and my family. Thank you Kevin

When someone in my family was charged with serious computer felonies I was terrified. I was even more afraid that the federal government would be taking the case and would be bringing federal charges that carried long mandatory minimum sentences. Mr. Jones took the time to get to know our family and to understand our issues. He was able to get the best available experts and worked tirelessly with the prosecutors. Because of his hard work and dedication, no federal charges were brought and Mr. Jones was able to convince the prosecutor to offer a plea to probation.

I wholeheartedly endorse and recommend the law firm of McCormack and McCormack. I worked with this firm for nearly four years and in the end, I had my security clearance reinstated after multiple letters of intent stemming more than a decade. Although I was facing insurmountable odds, Greg McCormack and his highly-skilled paralegal assisted me in navigating the confusing and complex world of security clearances. His decades of experience and shrewd litigation skills overwhelmed the government’s case and left the appeals board without question as to my reliability and trustworthiness. If you are facing a security clearance issue, I strongly recommend you retain the services of Greg McCormack. There is simply too much at stake and relying on your own knowledge or the guidance of a lesser-experienced firm may prove to be an incredibly costly and life-altering mistake. I summary, I owe a debt of gratitude to this firm that I can never repay.

I have had Jesse as my attorney for years now...not by his choice, more like a lack of options for him by my many self inflicted situations of needing him repeatedly to represent me. I made this man's job more difficult than it needed to be, more times than he needed or should have had to represent me, but you know what...he never once gave up on me, never gave me false hope, never sugar coated the possible outcomes, never doubted me and never once walked in the courtroom to defend me like I was anything less than his kin! I could be (and was) 100% in the wrong and guilty (so many times) and he fought for me and defended me to the very end! When I gave him nothing to work with for a defense, he still gave it his FULL effort and complete attention when I had his back against the wall. I can't tell you how supported I felt the many times he would tell me "you don't deserve to be in there..." (prison on minor violations). It was easy to get him on the phone and get responses from him... I've heard horror stories of other inmates not being able to reach their attorneys for weeks and months...Jesse and his assistants were efficient and quick to respond and resolve any questions I had, anytime of the business day. I would constantly boast (brag really) about how much I loved my attorney when I heard others complaining of the 'public defenders'. You can tell the 'public' part of his title does NOT limit measure or regulate the amount of compassion, energy and care Jesse puts into his clients and work. He has a passion for helping people, no matter their economic status, tax bracket or lack of responsibility (my worst trait). I don't know where I'd be if I had a different attorney...probably still in prison. Jesse is amazing and I will never forget all he has done for me...and the positive, patient and caring attitude he maintained the entire time...4 years...thats patience!!! I just had my paper cut last week and Im afraid to try and find my footing knowing he isn't legally obligated to be attached to me anymore. Anyone who gets him in the future is in AMAZING hands and I will miss him and his assistants terribly!!! Thanks Jesse!!

Jesse listened until he fully comprehended my situation and kept me feeling positive when he saw how worried or lacking hope I would sometimes have. I can't wait to see how amazing he will be finishing out this case with me. He is truly a God send!!!

I called Attorney Nacht for direction with a complicated legal issue. He had no jurisdiction in the state in which I needed help. But he patiently listened, and then spent considerable time searching out and connecting me with an A1 attorney who specialized in the area of law needed and in the state needed. He took time to contact a a senior and knowledgeable attorney he knew in that state, and then got back with me with a recommendation of someone who 'hung the moon in the sky' as it related to my needs, legal grounds and representation. She accomplished in less than 7 weeks, what several (5) attorneys I spoke with said was unlikely to be achieved. My respect and appreciation of Attorney Nacht is matchless.

I am a business owner who has lived primarily out-of-state since 1981. I have a second home in Minnesota. My situation occurred in 2017, after a cop harassed me for nearly an hour in a parking lot. Unfortunately, this occurred in a suburb whose cops are notorious for harassing innocent people. I was "guilty" of driving with expired plates, and knew it; I'd been out of town working, forgot to renew the plates on the car I keep in Minnesota. I apologized to the cop but he continued harrassing me. Oddly, he did not write me a ticket. Instead, he spent nearly all of his time asking me irrelevant personal questions (e.g., about other cars I own but do not drive). Months later, I received a court document that I did not understand. According to the document, I was facing several thousands of dollars in fines and a jail sentence. Without hesitation, I retained Mr. Sessoms. The conclusion was that the judge let me off with a year's probation- no fine, no jail time. This would not have happened without Faison Sessoms's exceptional creative thinking and guidance. An important PS is that I have twice before seen Mr. Sessoms in action; throughout the years. I don't know of another Minnesota attorney with his experience- he really knows his way around the court systems- and knowledge of this state's judges. (It was actually a retired judge who recommended him to me.) I have not hesitated to recommend his services to others, who were equally pleased with his services- and hence I am doing so, now. If you're reading this review because you're shopping for an exceptional lawyer, HIRE Faison Sessoms.

I've never had to deal with the court system until a year and a half ago. I was referred to Mr. Sessoms through a friend of mine. Needless to say that I was scared and didn't know what to do. Mr. Sessoms took hold of the reins and got me the best deal that I could have come out with. He was always there to answer questions and always answered the phone. No runarounds. I would definitely use him again if I needed a really good attorney

Mr. Sessoms was available throughout the 8 month period, providing his expertise and experience to my case. He lowered my DUI to a careless conviction and was on call day or night to answer questions. Would recommend.

We have been working with Daniel Pell for years on our particular case. He has constantly kept us in the loop will all processes and guided us to what needs to be done in next steps. He was very patient to all our questions and put us at ease when we were very scared and flustered. Daniel was always straight forward and never gave us false hopes. If there was something to be concerned about, he would let us know and told us what needed to be done. He worked hard tirelessly to win our case, and he did win the case. We are so grateful to Daniel Pell and we highly recommend him to anyone seeking an Immigration Lawyer who will fight for you at all cost and not leave you struggling to figure things out on your own. He is a great lawyer with a kind heart and loves what he does.

To say Mr. Featherston's representation was PHENOMENAL would be an injustice to his true personal and professional ethic because he is THE ATTORNEY you want on your side. Nothing short of COMPELLING in and out of the courtroom, I was fortunate and lucky enough to see Mr. Featherston handle my case and I was just blown away by how DETAILED and ATTENTIVE his approach to my legal situation was. I mean he just took the case from all angles and had an answer for any possibility that came our way. This case would change my life and perspective toward how real the world can get but Mr. Featherston & his legal counsel shielded me from what could have been a very different outcome. I am completely in awe of Robert Featherston as an attorney and as a great man. I wish him continued success in what is obviously a very remarkable and accomplished career. My best, Nathaniel Tristan.

He represented me on a Aggravated Assault with Deadly Weapon Case. He blew away the State's case with his cross examination and use of Power Point. He looked way more professional than the prosecutors and got me a NOT GUILTY!

My son was arrested on a weekend on a mistaken identity, and Janie's first comment was "I've got this." She went to court on Monday morning, had the warrant and extradition recalled that morning, and worked non-stop to have him released in another state - all two days prior to July 4, with everyone else headed out of town. At the follow-up court hearing, all was dismissed. Janie was incredibly knowledgeable and prepared, which contributed greatly to the speed of handling the case. There are not enough stars for her.

Janie is a truly wonderful attorney. She is smart, strong and will not back down from a challenge. My case was bleak. It seemed inevitable I would be convicted and subsequently go to jail and no longer be able to work in my field. She wasn't going to let that happen. She fought hard for me and saved my career! She managed to get all charges dropped and I am forever grateful to her!! K.M.

I was arrested on November 12th 2015 in Oregon on an outstanding warrant for Probation Violation from Chattanooga, TN. I was extradited back to TN. Janie was able to get my court date set on Dec 4th instead of Jan 12. She was in constant communication with my family. She was able to get all charges dismissed and return me to my family. It was money well spent and I would suggest to you, if you find yourself on the wrong side of the law, give Janie Varnell a call.

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.

      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.

      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
