I cannot recommend Miguel Garcia highly enough! From start to finish, he demonstrated authentic care about my case and his incredible expertise, dedication, and attention to detail was evident from our very first meeting. He took the time to understand every aspect of my case and provided clear, insightful guidance every step of the way. He answered every question I had, and his calm, confident demeanor gave me peace of mind throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for a lawyer who genuinely cares about his clients and goes above and beyond, Miguel is the one to go to. Thank you again Miguel.

The government accused me of phony billing and up billing. I never met a lawyer who knew so much about billing codes - Anjali Prasad gets into the weeds when it comes to insurance billing, and if there is a way to save you, she will. Puts her nose to the grind and finds a way out. She saved my life.

I didn't care for this firm they placed me behind the 8 ball after 7 K and didn't even read the warrant (bond reversed). DWI I added the car ignition start but was unaware of the other requirement. Had they read the bond I would have not been in jail on a warrant. They blamed me yet I gave the 7k to take care of the matter. They didn't care and they didn't do their research. I knew after the sales pitch it was marketing here. I canceled CC after getting out of jail from bond reverse and retained another attorney to get the DUI dismissed. Never again will I use the internet marketing lies just to make this firm look good.

I’m sure Jarrod is helpful with some, but for the negative reviews he does receive, they’re likely true. Jarrod will sell you on a flat fees, experience, and that he’s attentive and communicative. But once you make that payment for him to represent you, that’s not the case. You can tell Jarrod and his firm are taking on more cases than they can handle which is why some clients like me get left out of the loop and left wondering what they paid for. If you try to criticize him at all he gets vindictive and hateful. Be cautious with this attorney.

These guys single handed saved my life. I had a previous attorney who was doing nothing for my case. I hired Jared and this firm, what took years prior they got dismissed in a matter of a few months. Charlie is the best attorney, he listens fights for you and really cares. I would use this firm hands down over any other. My case was extremely complicated and facing a felony. It was very scary until they took over for me. I owe them so much. I finally got my life back after four long years and thousands of dollars.

My boyfriend has a family case which we wasn't knowledgeable about. We reached out to Mr. Fisher for a phone consultation and he was very pleasant, patient, a good listener and most of all very professional. He answered all our questions and direct us on what to do going forward you would have thought he already handling the case. Even after he gave us that consultation over the phone we needed some clarity on a few things, so I called back and made a second appointment for another in person consultation. Again Mr. Fisher sat with us diligently and answer every questions and concerns we had.. I strongly recommend this lawyer he deserved 10 stars . Remeber this experience is just for a consultation. It was a breathe of fresh air. Kudos Mr. Fisher.

NOT RECOMMENDED. DOES NOT NEED TO BE IN PRACTICE ANYMORE. Never on time for court, shows up an hour + late every time. Is never prepared. Charges thousands of dollars and does nothing. Never answers calls or texts until the morning of court. Has excuse after excuse for his lack of action on the case. I’ve done everything for myself and even prepared all my own paperwork and documents because Mr. Barker acts like he’s some big shot lawyer who has such a high dismissal rate and is worth $5000+ for a misdemeanor case then charges the same for a felony case? Makes no sense. Embarrassing. He obviously doesn’t realize his brain has gone to the state of early dementia or drug/alcohol abuse. Who knows. I’ve never been so disappointed in a paid lawyer. I’d have been better off with a court appointed attorney at this point, at least I expect them to not do their jobs. DONT HIRE HIM!

It’s incredible to read the other review that had a negative experience with his law firm Because it sounds just like my story. Lack of action, the feeling like you are begging or asking for something rather than paying for service. The lack of thorough explanation about the legal process and the simplicity of time your actual consequences seems to be a trademark of this lawyer. I am now confused because I don’t know if he was working for the DA office or if he was there to represent me and fight for my innocence because looking back, there was always a deal on the table, There was always an option of simplicity, as if he didn’t want to be bothered with this issue. I completely understand the result of those actions because a simple search and reading of the legal system lead me to understand the consequences of his lack of action, a convicted felon, taking the time to explain or looking into other options rather than a quick deal that he prosecutor to get out of the way. I’m not here to ask for anything from the justice system or from this man I’m here to prevent you from making a mistake if you’re reading this for an actual lawyer says if you feel like your second home then go ahead and hire him

I met this man a couple years ago when a friend of mine needed help and I'll tell you what from back then he was amazing but I ended up getting into some trouble and as soon as he received the phone call he jumped into action I used his bail man and I was out within a few hours and I had Mr Chris retained before I even was released I can sell you one thing about him when it comes to his clients he does not play around with the case that I had pending I was looking at doing many years but this man right here made sure that I received a phone call from him today with the best news ever that my case was dismissed I can never thank him enough too bad I can't make a cheesecake take in anymore but if you are ever in need of a great or one of the best I should say criminal defense attorneys call this man right here. I know when I went in to speak with him he told me just sit back and let him work his magic and sure enough today was the day that made this whole rest of this year all because of two words that he said to me which was case dismissed but as I said if you want the best criminal attorney around see this man right here and if I could give 10,000 Stars I would! Chris thank you so much I can never tell you how grateful I am for you and for the fact that you took this on and got this case dismissed thank you so much my friend!

After contacting this law firm several times, I decided to go in for a consultation. Klarich, kept asking about the $250 Consultation Fee, multiple times and it was really annoying. Finally the day comes to consult at his office in Tustin, CA. The first thing he ask, guess what, yep the consultation fee. $250, this guy must not get a lot of action, because of the constant request of the $250. Now in all fairness he may have looked up the case info in regards to the History of Retained Attorneys and like all dishonest attorneys do, the lie. So previous attorneys would promise certain things and if they do not deliver then they are not getting paid. Like the 1st Attorney of Record was given $28,000 but requested $80,000 on Amended Charges and then this attorney had purposely colluded with the District Attorney and then we had fired him, then the next time in front of a Judge, he files a motion to withdraw and the Judge said, I do not think so, it was solely up to us to keep the attorney but who wants a sellout, so we let the attorney withdraw and he refunded $5000 for us to obtain another attorney. My stock portfolio reflects an earning of $250 every 20 minutes of an 8 hour day. This guy Klarich gets all stoked of $250, that shows me where his mindset is. He is researching and possibly even calling previous attorney's and checking the record so he considers this being protective but the truth is, that is all this guy thinks about, money, if he would have spent more time focused on the issues at hand we may have moved forward with this firm, besides it was the partner's son who I was more interested in and they give us this guy who is a total know it all but truthfully does not know much about the appellant process, yeah maybe general stuff but even I know that, but everything he said in reference to our questions was nothing new that we didn't already know. Also, since attorney's may look at the History of Cases, it would be only fair to look up the attorney's record or how many successful appeals an attorney may have and after the consultation, I did just that and for the amount of confidence he had shown does not reflect much in his success in the appellant courts realm but then again, not even the best of attorney's have any type of a successful record, but that is the nature of the beast in the appellant world.

So Happy that I made the decision to contact Wallin & Klarich to help me in dealing with my past legal issues. Over the past decade I have worked hard to change and have been successful in doing so. But there has always been that cloud hanging over my head. You cant run from your past-but Mr. Klarich sat down with me and my wife personally and explained how the system worked. His office was welcoming, and his assistants and associates were always there by email and telephone when the paperwork trail seemed endless. Court rooms had always been a negative experience in my past, but thanks to Wallin & Klarich my last court room appearance had me standing tall. i was able to prove to the courts that I am indeed the changed man that my friends and co-workers know me to be. I walked out of the court room with a Certificate of Rehabilitation and that means the world to me. It will open doors that have been closed to me in the past -doors that have not only been closed legally but also in my own mind. Thank you so much!

Josh Camson is a wonderful attorney who isn’t afraid of a challenge. I found Josh doing a google search when trying to have my name expunged from the child line registry in PA. I incorrectly and unfairly was indicated as perpetrator in 2007 . I was very young and afraid to fight back because of the fear of losing my son. I thought that if Bucks county children and youth would indicate me when I clearly did nothing wrong after the other person admitted that my son was in their care that they would certainly not hesitate to do so. After calling many attorneys who specialize in this I began to loose hope because they all declined to take my case or did not call back at all. Josh called me personally and spent about a half hour discussing what I was trying to do, and the history involving this incident . I also had a timeline for when this needed to be done by (02/01/2020). Mr. Camson was empathetic , understanding , and confident he could help me and decided to take my case. I am so glad I found Josh on google. He was prompt replying via email, when I had an urgent issue he would call me back immediately. I was very anxious about this whole process and worried I would not have my clearance in time for my deadline. It is with great happiness and gratitude that I express how happy I am with all Mr. Camson did for my family and I. My hearing was yesterday 01/31/2020, he was on time , well prepared as we prepped the day before via phone , but most importantly , Josh helped me WIN MY CASE! I will recommend him to anyone in this predicament . Josh Camson is your best chance at receiving a fair hearing and trial with Child Line in regards to having your name expunged , not only did he fight good cause but he also proved to the court that this case was incorrectly investigated and came to an incorrect conclusion which enabled my name to be removed from the registry effective immediately. I requested my new clearance online last night and was able to view it the same day because of how Josh pushed the importance of this. Thank you SO MUCH, I will eternally be grateful for how you helped my family move forward.

My husband was facing extremely serious charges. We knew that if my husband was convicted of these charges it would devastate our family and change his life forever. We chose Mr. Camson to represent my husband initially because of his compassion and attentiveness to our case. But his ability to control a court room blew us away. He is confident without being arrogant. He is intelligent, but explains the law in a way so his client and others can understand everything. He can truly make people see things from his perspective. Mr. Camson answered every question we had with patience. During the trial it was made clear that he has excellent jury appeal. When he spoke they listened with intent. If you want results, hire this extraordinary attorney! We cannot thank Josh enough for that “Not Guilty”!

In the last 5 years Ken was helping me with my deferred DUI prosecution case. And today the case got dismissed and I completed the program, even after some hickup at the end of the term that almost got me sentenced, because of other attorney's misunderstanding and giving the wrong information to the judge. I'm so grateful for everything Ken did to go above and beyond for today's court hearing outcome. It's better than what I expected from today but everything I prayed for. Thanks Ken!

Not only did Ken win my felony assault case, but he was able to get me back all my expenses spent over the charge! That was 10 years ago but I've always been able to call him at anytime since for legal advice on his cell! More expensive attorneys make me schedule a call back, even when they're representing me and are paid to give me advice! He's definitely the guy to call if you need someone to fight for you and not just take your money and tell you what you want to hear and send a paralegal to do the work you pay them for, which is what most attorneys do and Ken does himself.

Upon being charged with fraud, elder abuse and identity theft, I personally interviewed 5 lawyers to represent me. I was facing 10 years in prison. I choose Mr. Russell because of his intelligence, demeanor and his experience. During my meeting with Mr. Russell, he patiently listened to me and we reviewed my case. I was very impressed with his insights into my case. IMO, Mr. Russell’s initial assessment of the possible outcomes were reasonable expectations. He did not make any false promises. Because of Mr. Russell and his office’s diligent time and efforts, the charges against me were dismissed. I will be forever grateful to Mr. Russell that I am able to move forward with my life.

Mr. Toale was hired to represent me for a very high profile case. During my representation, I was somewhat surprised to see that he worked overtime on my case, especially given my circumstances. During my incarceration, I noticed that most lawyers did not visit their clients often. For the most part, their lawyers did not answer calls or return them until weeks later. I did not have those issues "At No Point" during my eight month stay in the treacherous Orleans Parish Prison. To be honest, seeing what was happening around me, made me very proud to have an attorney like Mr. Toale. Mr. Toale made surprise visits all the time for very important reasons to show me that he was really working to help me regain my freedom. I would describe him as being very thoughtful, confident and strategic. The process was tough and very confusing to me, but he made sure that I was fully aware of what was happening and most importantly, that I understood what was occurring throughout the entire ordeal. I'm sure it was frustrating to deal with someone like me, but he showed no signs of displeasure. After a three year wait, the ending result of my case was spectacular for me. I could not have been more satisfied with the work he did for me and my family.

Mr. Toale has represented me and numerous employees and friends over the past 30 years for different types of cases. He only does criminal defense now but we begged him last year to represent us when we were sued by a former employee. He spent hours preparing our witnesses for trial. We know he cared about us and he has a strong drive to win. He anticipated the other side's every move. He was worth every penny we paid him and we won last month. The judge threw out the case and we paid nothing. He was amazing in court, the way he asked the other side's witnesses questions and objected to the other lawyer's questions. He made them look like the liars they were. He has always treated me and everyone I know fairly. We hired him about five years after he graduated from law school to collect bad debts for us and we call him whenever we need a lawyer. He and his office have always been friendly, available and very competent. His associate Kara has been available to us when Robert was not. She was also a great aid during the trial.

I am writing to highly recommend Robert S Toale, attorney, I have had the privilege of being represented by him in 2 cases, with very excellence resolutions. His representation of me has been far and above any attorney I had have ever known or been represented by, I can say this with a total absolute certainty, since I have been a paralegal for more than 50 years and have personal knowledge of how many attorneys’ represent their clients. Mr. Toale’s personal dedication is aggressive and compassionate in both criminal defenses, and personal injury cases due to his experience and knowledge of all the various rules and regulations of all the various Courts’. When you come to his firm you can be assured of his aggressive representation, your case will be handled personally by Mr. Toale, as one of the most experienced attorneys. Mr. Toale is the most valuable asset you have been seeking, in any legal circumstances. To all those looking for a thoroughly professional and trusted individual, they can be completely sure that he is completely worthy of your trust in all legal matters.

In 2011 after sitting on probation for 6 years out of no where I was going back to court for a crime I had thought I already did my time for. But since there are some really nasty county prosecutors that enjoy being the anti christ I found out otherwise anyways the state said since I hadn't paid the entire restitution amount owed to my victim for stealing her car that after being sentenced to jail time already served and 5 years of probation which was extended another year that I was going to prison mind you this was my only offense with no probation violations besides for not paying all the 10000 dollars which was a made up number by who knows. Brian found out that I had paid the victim back in full and the county was throwing me in prison because I owed a lil bit of money to gieco insurance. Well that's not a criminal act you cant be thrown into jail cause you didnt pay last months water bill. I wonder what they were using that extra money for I doubt Polk county have it to the victim who didnt want to see this even happen anyways I got to go home and the charge was dismissed and I was instantly off probation. I feel like Polk county violated my rights and the rights of many. Not only did brian work with me on the case he also made it affordable and never hounded me for the money I mean he drove to Polk county from saint paul twice for me and he didnt hate it or charge me for his time doing so. I cant be more thankful for having him in my corner when I was being victimized by our system. Like I said Marsden is the greatest lawyer hands down. Theres not a better one out here. On a side not dont hire jeff dean hes a thief and you will simply over pay a boat load and get less services. Love you brian always greatful.

Mr. Marsden defended me with such consideration and care in regard to what I was going through. He let me know I was in control, and he was there to support me no matter what decisions I made regarding my case. His main concern was making sure I was happy, and adequately represented through every step. I cant express enough the peace of mind this gave me during a stressful, and emotional time.

Michelle has worked with me on two cases and was able to, ultimately, get both cases dismissed. In the first case she went above and beyond to get to know me and the particulars of my situation and used those details to obtain a successful outcome for me. In the other case she was able to suppress ion scan evidence (a swab of the doorknob of my apartment) on which the entire case against me was built. Michelle has played a key role in outcomes that encouraged me to do the right thing (long-term drug rehab) but did not destroy my ability to recover. I very highly recommend!

My wife was facing felony gun charges & an aggressive DA's office. The 1st attorney we hired was unacceptable. He accomplished nothing with the DA, was pessimistic about the case & tried to pressure my wife into pleading to serious charges. Sam took charge from the get go, had a balanced view of the case & worked with the DA to make them see the serious flaws in their case. First Sam got the charges reduced to a misdemeanor & then got the DA to agree to dismiss the charges without my wife pleading to anything. Excellent result, Sam! Thanks for getting this scary monkey off our backs & for even getting the criminal restraining order officially terminated. Sam is intelligent & focused, has a quick grasp of complicated facts, is totally reliable for court appearances & paperwork & is a well-spoken, respected advocate in court for his clients.

Sam Tyre was unprepared still looking up laws during court session. For money spent Sam Tyre did not fight as hard as he should, and could have.

Mr. Heathman worked with me compassionately through the entire process of my case. It was an awesome experience to have him on my side. He was highly competent and aggressive regarding all matters of my suit. I would highly recommend him to all friends and family that end up in similar situations with the law.

I am grateful for the time I have spent sharing my husband's case with Attorney Heathman- He allowed me an opportunity to meet with him and showcase the case before I made a decision, he has remained available to answer my concerns- recently I hired him. The process is ongoing, but I am confident we have a competent attorney that can handle the job ahead. This is an initial review to express my immediate gratitude for the caring service I have already recieved.

She is more like the prosecutor rather than a defensive attorney. Seek some different. Shows up after 10:00am when court starts at 8:30am. very unprofessional and obviously lacks regard

I recently went through some felony stuff after three years of thinking it had just disappeared. Biggest devastation of my life. I had gotten my life together after that and honestly thought I was going to prison after everything I had accomplished after my horrible mistakes. Kimberly was very supportive and honest with me. Even though I didn't get the outcome I was expecting (or her for that matter.. lets just say the judge didn't like me at all and has a bad reputation) I still didn't end up in PRISON or actual jail for that matter. Work release for 90 days (60 with good time) so I am able to maintain my job and my life. She always responds to me emails right away and, like I mentioned, is VERY supportive. My experience was great and she stopped me on numerous occasions from having a nervous breakdown. I really love her and if you're looking for a lawyer you can trust look no further.

My name is Chi. In 2005, I went through several issues that jeopardized my future. During this time, Kimberly was a great source of help to turn to. She helped me understand what was going on at all times, and made sure that I knew what kind of situation I was in. For the entire duration of the issue, Kimberly was a wonderful guidance and friend, more than anything else. It is thanks to Kimberly that I can enjoy my life the way I do today, with my three beloved daughters. Thank you Kimberly for all you have done for me! I would definitely recommend her as a lawyer for anyone looking for a positive experience!!

He is very well known and respected in the judicial community. Communication wasn't the VERY best but was sufficient. He told me how things would play out. I was very nervous. He was 100% correct. My life has changed and I owe part of it to this man. Thanks

Tried to give a call. I couldn’t hear and kept asking can they hear me. The lady on the other end rudely answered ‘again how can I help you’ instead of simply saying ‘yes I can hear.’ If this is the treatment on a first call I can only imagine working and paying my money to these people.

Celia Villaseñor won my case when i didn’t think possible. She was honestly heaven sent and I thank God for her, her determination, work ethics and that she cared so much to make sure my family got put back together again. None of it would have been possible without her!! If you want to win a case she is the attorney to go with!

Just spoke to this law firm, I would not reconnect this law firm. Stay far away. Their first duty is to the court, if a judge tells any one of their lawyers not to wear a certain suit again they will bend over backwards. Their duty is not in the best interest of the child but to the court first! Do not hire this firm, they will not argue your case in court. They will let the judge violate your rights and help them do it. When I heard this from their attorney during the consultation I immediately asked where is the duty to your client and the best interest of the child? She hung up. When a lawyers says their first duty is to the court that means you should run! Don’t be to quick to hire an attorney, look around ask questions because lawyers like these will backstab their clients!

I can't express how grateful I am to Valerie for her exceptional legal representation. She was incredibly patient and kept me informed every step of the way, making sure I understood the process and felt supported. Throughout my case, she was not only professional and knowledgeable but also genuinely sweet and caring. She truly believed in me, and because of her dedication and expertise, my case was dismissed. If you're looking for a lawyer who will go above and beyond for you, Valerie Hedlund is the one to trust. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal assistance.

If you want to wast your money hire this lawyer. If you want a lawyer that never returns calls, and then gets upset that you are bothering her because she’s so busy hire this lawyer. Complete disappointment is all I can say. When you really need a lawyer she won’t be there. This is my opinion.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      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.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
