I was very close to making one of the worst decisions ever when it comes to debt collectors and letting the courts talk me into accepting a judgement which would have opened me up to serious financial consequences. Several letters had arrived from different firms to offer their services, but only one was sent by someone that took the time to handwrite my name on the envelope. That doesn't sound like much, but to me that was the difference. Power Law Firm got me a settlement with the debt collector that was a tenth of what i would habe been responsible for if i had just accepted the judgement. Thank you so much, the relief your firm gave me in a time of fear and panic has been invaluable!

Best Lawyer Ever! I just want to tell everyone about the amazing attorney I found. I just have to share how great he is! I was really scared when I had a pending case. I didn't understand what was happening and I didn't know what to do. But then I found Bryan Dangler, he helped me so much and he made me feel like he really cared about me. He helped me tremendously and communicated with me every step of the way! I am incredibly grateful I reached out to The Power Law Firm. Let me tell you, it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. My case was resolved in a VERY timely manner and I am beyond happy, impressed and extremely grateful. They are my go to for any issues I hope I never have to face again, but if I do, I have them on speed dial. Amazing job! .

Attorney Bryan is the real deal!! After speaking with him regarding a matter of credit card debt settlement for my mother, he was very transparent with the options available, the service that he would provide, and what the outcome would be. Turns out that we didn't need Bryan to represent for my mom after all, but I'm posting this review to let you know that any other attorney would've saw this as an opportunity for easy money and would've taken her case. Bryan didn't do that. He equipped us with valuable information that we needed to handle what we were facing on our own instead of taking this case, and setting my mom up for future unnecessary payments (to the creditors). I was beyond grateful!! So glad that I made the call. His assistant, Ms. Terri, was very kind and such a pleasure to talk to. She made me feel comfortable speaking with her (like I had known her for years) and she took her time and didn't rush to get info and get me off the phone. I'm telling you, the entire experience was refreshing, and who's EVER said that about interactions with an attorney's office?? If you've read this far, just do yourself a huge favor and make the call. You will be so very glad that you did! They put my mind at ease!

Having to decide to make such a decision to file bankruptcy came with ease after speaking with attorney Matthew Gross. He listened attentively as I shared my thoughts during our consultation. I highly recommend his services for anyone who is thinking about filing a bankruptcy. In addition, his assistant Dirk Watson was thorough and communicated well throughout the process. I am thankful for this new opportunity for a fresh start.

Having Chris Hansley handle my bankruptcy was the best choice I have ever made, she made the whole experience seem totally seamless. She is totally professional, quick to respond to any questions I had, and help me fill out all the paperwork and explain everything very carefully. She definitely knows what she is doing and just made everything seem so easy. Choosing to file bankruptcy wasn't an easy decision but working with Chris and her team made it easier, she is awesome and I would recommend her to anyone that needs an attorney that they can trust to get the job done quickly and with total professionalism.

Mr.McCulloch is a phenomenal attorney to have. He is known for his extensive knowledge as a criminal trial and appeals lawyer. My family is very fortunate to have found Mark after interviewing many lawyers to find the best of the BEST! It was the greatest and most wise decision we could have ever made. He is highly motivated and extremely talented in his line of work. He has been working extensively on my father’s case and we could not be more pleased with an attorney. He has a broad knowledge of many areas of law and will fight for you like you’re his own family. There is no doubt without Mr.McCulloch’s guidance and representation we would not be where we are at today. Our case is still ongoing but we know that the best possible outcome will be achieved with having Mr.McCulloch as our defense attorney. My family and I cannot thank Mark enough for all his hard work and dedication to our case. He will fight for you deligently in and out of the courtroom. Many lawyers promise results, Mr.McCulloch delivers them and will go above and beyond for you.

Le ofreció una sentencia de 25 años a mi esposo indicándole que no tendría más opciones. Prácticamente obligándolo y indicándole que las cosas serían peor si no lo hacía. Decidimos cambiar de abogado una semana antes del juicio. LO MEJOR QUE PUDIMOS HACER!!! A mi esposo le dieron una probatoria y está con nosotros. (Solo en una semana) el abogado James logró lo que este individuo NO! Aparte de querer cobrarnos más diciendo que no le habíamos pagado y tuve que enviarle todo los recibos.

He got me out of a VOP - during the pandemic! Which meant it was more difficult and took longer, - another month - because of courts closing and drastically having to switch from county to county. But he fought for me! Assured me of a successful plea. And can tell from the way he talked to me on the phone that he is real nice, passionate and cares very much to win your case.

Ms. Jacobs is an outstanding Lawyer. Sadly, I have an ongoing complex family law case and I’ve been in litigation the entire life of my child. I had two prior Attorney’s before I found Ms. Jacobs and I was nervous about starting over with a new Atty. Ms. Jacobs and I met for an in-person consultation. I was nervous if she would get it since she didn’t know our long-detailed history, but she diligently read through our filings and asked all the right questions. She’s VERY sharp, and she knows family law and criminal law very well. I hired her right away! I told her exactly what I was hoping for and she focused on just that. I felt like she actually cared, and she wasn’t trying to take advantage of my situation and run up the bill with unnecessary filings. My issue resulted in a settlement for the first time ever and the hearing was canceled. Maybe if I had found her years ago my ex and I would be in a different place with our co-parenting. Thank you very much for everything! Ms. Jacobs!

Professional, diligent and responsive are just a few words to describe how pleased I was with hiring Jennifer Jacobs. Mrs. Jacob’s went above and beyond for my injunction case. She was always responsive to my phone calls. She was diligent and knowledgeable in the court room. And also very professional in corresponding with the other counsel and my needs. I would recommend Jennifer Jacobs to anyone needing representation for an injunction. If I could give her 10 stars I would! She’s one of the few great lawyers out there.

I hired Jaya on two occasions when she was relatively an unknown in the early part of her career at NeJame Law Firm. My son was accused of a crime he didn't commit and on another occasion his soon to be ex-wife was filing domestic violence charges against him. Jaya is available 24/7, she is strategic, organized, reassuring, thorough, patient, resourceful, compassionate, and honest. Jaya made one phone call to former Judge Belvin Perry (before he retired) and explained the mistaken identity for the crime he didn't commit (as my son had been in there almost 5 days and no one would listen) and my son was out of org county jail in 1 hr! The other case of domestic violence was dropped as Jaya discredited the ex-wife and exposed her lies. Also, I want to note that Jaya is not all about the money as she discounted our fees, but is about justice. To this day, if we need anything, we can call her and she remembers you and asks about the family, etc. A true legal advocate.

Being the mother of a son who made some bad choices, I needed help. I called NeJame Law and Jaya promptly returned my call. I was sitting on my bed crying my eyes out, knowing my sons choice was a bad one and needed help. Jaya was very professional and talked to me like I was a mother versus a person with a criminal son. She did not look down on me. She was prompt, professional and honest with us. She did not "sugar coat" anything, she told us like it was and was very confident about the outcome. unfortunately we had to hire her again, but we were confident that she would do her best. I would highly recommend her to any and all my friends that may need legal help.

I met Attorney Jonathan Torres about 2 years agon when I was hired by one of his clients to serve as an English Spanish translator. I had a very good impression of Attorney Jonathan as he conducted a very proffessional and aggressive deffense for my client. But not only was that. At the end when we walked out of the Court House. I had the opportunity to discover the great human behind Attorney Jonathan. I was captivated by his good heart and the way he treated my client. His humbleness is something I never saw in the many attorneys I have seen in my 20 plus years of experience as a Translator and Paralegal. Attorney Jonathan is definitely someone I could trust and reffer to hire his services.

What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You

A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.

Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.

When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?

It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:

  • Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
  • Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
  • Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
  • Plea negotiations: If you’re considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
  • Probation or parole violations: If you’ve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
  • Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.

What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?

Criminal defense lawyers provide comprehensive legal services to protect their clients’ rights throughout the criminal justice process. Their duties include:

  • Case evaluation and investigation: Reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and investigating the facts to develop a strong defense strategy.
  • Legal advice: Advising you on your rights, the charges you’re facing, and potential defense strategies, including whether to take a plea deal or go to trial.
  • Negotiating plea bargains: Working with prosecutors to negotiate a plea deal that could reduce charges or minimize penalties.
  • Court representation: Representing you in all court hearings, including bail hearings, pretrial motions, trials, and sentencing hearings.
  • Filing motions: Filing motions to dismiss charges, suppress evidence, or reduce bail, depending on the specifics of your case.
  • Trial preparation and defense: Preparing a defense strategy and presenting arguments, evidence, and witnesses during trial to contest the prosecution's case.
  • Appeals: If you are convicted, a defense lawyer can appeal the conviction or sentence, arguing errors in the trial process or legal rulings.

How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?

Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Payment structures include:

  • Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
  • Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyer’s experience and geographic location.
  • Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.

The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so it’s important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.

How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer depends on several factors, including the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost guidelines are:

  • Misdemeanor cases: For relatively minor offenses, such as a DUI or petty theft, a flat fee may range from $1,500 to $5,000.
  • Felony cases: More serious charges, such as assault or drug trafficking, can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
  • Hourly rates: For cases billed by the hour, lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and the case's location.
  • Additional expenses: You may also be responsible for other costs, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, or the cost of private investigators.

Be sure to clarify the lawyer’s fee structure and any potential additional costs during your consultation.

Top Questions to Ask a Criminal Defense Lawyer

Before hiring a criminal defense lawyer, you’ll want to ensure that they’re a good fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask:

  1. What is your experience with cases like mine?
    Make sure the lawyer has a strong track record with the specific type of criminal charges you’re facing, whether it’s DUI, drug offenses, or violent crimes.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs.
  3. What are the potential outcomes of my case?
    A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of your case and the likelihood of dismissal, a plea bargain, or conviction.
  4. How many cases have you taken to trial?
    While many criminal cases settle with a plea deal, it’s important to hire a lawyer with courtroom experience in case your case goes to trial.
  5. Who will handle my case?
    Ask if the lawyer will be personally involved or if other attorneys in the firm will handle most of the work.
  6. How do you communicate with your clients?
    Be clear on how often and through what channels you can expect updates on your case.

How to Check the Credibility of a Criminal Defense Lawyer

To verify the credibility of a criminal defense lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Check their standing with the state bar: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any past disciplinary actions or complaints.
  • Read online reviews and testimonials: Platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google can provide insights from previous clients about the lawyer’s communication, professionalism, and case outcomes.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should have past clients or other professionals who can speak to their competence and work ethic.
  • Review their case history: Look at the lawyer’s website or professional profile to see their experience with criminal cases, including high-profile or complex cases.
  • Look for trial experience: If your case might go to trial, make sure the lawyer has a strong history of courtroom advocacy and success.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your first consultation with a criminal defense lawyer, bring the following:

  • Details of your case: Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the charges against you, including any documents related to your arrest, police reports, and court dates.
  • Criminal history: If you have any prior criminal convictions, inform your lawyer so they can understand how that may affect your current case.
  • List of witnesses or evidence: If there are any potential witnesses or evidence that may support your defense, share this information during the consultation.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Prepare questions about their experience, legal strategy, and fees to ensure you understand how they will handle your case.
  • Bail or release documents: If you’ve been released on bail, bring any paperwork related to your release conditions or restrictions.

By being well-prepared, you can help your lawyer quickly assess your situation and begin building an effective defense strategy.
