The courts appointed Mr. Ryan to me as my public defender. Mr. Ryan went above and beyond for me. He reached out to me throughout the whole process. Mr. Ryan is straight forward and to the point. Without the experience and knowledge he has to offer I don't believe my case would have been dropped. I was truly blessed to receive Mr. Ryan as my defense attorney, his desire to strive comes one in a million.

When you want someone on your side, this is the Lawyer to have. He looks at your situation as his own and takes it on with the same passion that you would. This is not a generic television commercial lawyer. He actually cares about you as a person first and then client. He pursued my case relentlessly for almost ten years and won three times at the Court of Appeals. We prevailed in the end and I could not have done it without him!

Mr Syme represented me in a Criminal Case. I was the last person I thought would ever get into trouble but wrong crowds put me there. I had never been in trouble before. All I can say is I thank him from the bottom of my heart. Mr. Syme took me on as a client and at all times was very professional and kind. James has a lot of knowledge and experience. He always made himself available to me. He was aggressive with my defense and I knew he had my best interest at heart. Thank you so much for getting me that second chance to get back on track. It's been 14 years and I'm still on track and never been in trouble again. If I were to see him on the street I would give him a big hug! I highly recommend him.

My family has used Mr. Syme for an assortment of legal issues over the years and every time the results have been as good or better than what was expected. I myself spent 7 months in court working on custody issues with the ex. Mr Syme did not give me unrealistic expectations and helped me to achieve conclusions in the most equitable and cost effective manner possible. My ex's attorney insisted on drawing everything out and keeping the meter running the whole while. The ex ended up paying thousands more than I did for legal representation and the final decision was nearly word for word in line with my initial petition. The man is old school, he'll shoot you straight even if you don't like the answer, and most importantly he genuinely cares about his people. I wouldn't even think of trusting anyone else...

There is nothing more important than an attorney that will tell you what they really think. Mark, will represent his clients with the most effective legal strategy available to them. He asserts your rights at every junction and holds the opposing side accountable for strict adherence to the law and due process. And If you happened to be wronged by the legal system, Mark will make no bones about expressing it. There is nothing more reassuring than having an attorney that believes in your case. Mark, respects his clients and values their input, and opinions. He is not bothered by a question or even a suggestion about how to proceed in the case. He collaborates with his clients rather than shutting them down and shutting them up. Furthermore, Mr. Willimann operates in federal court as well as appeals court. Meaning, he can press your matter as far as the legal system permits. And trust me, if it's appropriate, he will.

After completing work for the counties they did not pay us for the work yet we were being taxed for it and subsequently end up falling behind. We obtain the services of attorney Ellison who took her case and assisted us ultimately leading to the judge granting us actual litigation. That means a lot to a small business attorney Ellison was fair his costs was reasonalve. He communicated all actions of the litigation and informed us of what to expect after the litigation.

Look no further if your ever in need a the BEST Defense Attorney in AZ! I live in California and was so scared when I was trying to find an Attorney for my son who made a very stupid mistake. I was referred to John by another AZ Attorney who didn't have time for my son's case. As soon as I spoke to John, he made my anxiety attack disappear. I knew from the start he was experienced and could get us through this nightmare; and he did. John kept in touch with me throughout the whole process and answered all of my questions and made me and my son feel at ease. John also worked with me on his fee. I know this kind of hard work is expensive, but John worked out a very reasonable fee and saved us money. Thank you John, for all your hard work and dedication to my sons case. We appreciate you!

I cannot stress enough how much John Moore did for me in a time of crisis, frustration, fear and stress. From the minute I called his office and talked to his partner, they were both very responsive, friendly and started looking into my case right away, before even meeting with John in person. During my initial meeting with John I was a complete wreck. I was nervous, embarrassed, about to cry, and my mind was all over the place. From the very beginning of him offering me water and walking me to his office, I already felt better knowing there was NO JUDGEMENT and that he really just wanted to listen to the details of what had happened during my free consultation. John was very friendly and easy going, and didn't have that "cocky" lawyer appeal I had seen before and didn't like might I add. He was very honest with the fact that I did, indeed, need a lawyer and that it would be expensive but that he would charge way less than other "big name" lawyers. He gave me the time to shop around and said to contact him if I decided to move forward with him as my representation with absolutely no pressure. He was exactly right! I went to 3 other lawyers and he spot on about the price (competitors being anywhere form 3-6k more)! Not only was the price at others TOO high for me to afford or pay, but the environment and personality's of the others I visited were dreadful. One was a complete salesman and then asked me for 10k, another was basically falling asleep during my consultation and then said, "well, there isn't much I can do," and the third was so unmemorable that I can't even recall anything about him! While money was a factor in choosing the right lawyer, I am a big "gut instinct feeling" type person, and knew that I would ultimately choose the person who best resonated with me! I feel lucky and blessed, because not only was that person John, but he was the most affordable as well. I truly believe it was destiny for me to find him. Specifically, once hired, John kept me in the loop at all times and more importantly- did everything I needed him to do. He asked the right questions, gathered all of my information, handled the court dates and mostly, kept me calm. I kept asking him if there is anything I should do, or how worried should I be? His response was always calm and with a smile, "Don't do anything and don't worry... you really don't have to worry." This was so hard to hear because I WAS worried. Worried about my future, going to jail and just in general, was a big ball of stress. He totally helped calm me down and even assured me it was okay for me to cross the US/Mexico border to go on a retreat I had already planned! Not only did he tell me to go, but he told me to have a great time! About my case, he handled it well... beyond well... COULDN'T HAVE GONE BETTER! I was charged with a Felony 4 for a first offense shoplifting case. I was so afraid of reading about my future and what being a "felon" would do to my life. Not only did he get it dropped to a Misdemeanor, but he also pushed up on the prosecuting lawyer to allow me to take the shoplifting diversion program, in which once completed, the case would be closed. Oh happy day! He did it and all I had to do was show up to court, plead "no contest" and then agree to complete the diversion program, which I did within two weeks! In my opinion, John went ABOVE AND BEYOND what he had to. I learned more in his free consultation than the other three free consultations combined! In conclusion, if you are looking for a lawyer I CANNOT stress enough how perfect John is for the job! While he was my criminal defense lawyer, I am confident that whatever your legal issue he could help and do so with confidence, a smile and grace! He was honestly the best person to help me navigate around a legal system I know nothing about! You will not be sorry if you need to hire him for any reason!!!

I cannot even begin to describe the gratitude I have for Steven Meyerand. As I am sitting here a free man looking forward to every waking moment with my family. He and Jared are an amazing legal team to have on your side. I was charged with a class 3 felony for Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon which carries a minimum prison sentence of 5yrs in Arizona. I did not do what I was being charged with but I made some critical mistakes in not fully cooperating and antagonizing law enforcement on the night of the incident. I was completely guilty for contempt of deputy but not for what I was being arrested and charged. Needless to say when the State refused to let the case go we went to trial. The trial took 3 horrible nerve racking weeks to get through with hours upon hours of testimony. His guidance and reassurance during the trial helped me and my family get through this trying ordeal. At the end of it all he convinced the jury I was Not Guilty. Arizona does however have what is called lesser included charges, which for this case was a class 6 felony for Disorderly Conduct with a Deadly Weapon. The lesser charge if found to be dangerous would have been a minimum of 1.75 yrs in prison. I was found Guilty for the lesser charge but since he convinced the jury it was non-dangerous it was left as an undesignated felony with 3yrs probation, which means I can work to get it reduced to a misdemeanor. See! that is how amazing he is, I know all of this now because of his commitment, knowledge and professionalism to making me understand my rights and options. Steven guided me through every phase with a full understanding of what was happening with honesty and integrity. I feel this was the best possible outcome short of a full dismissal and I have him to THANK.

Lorenz provided quick responses, and a no-nonsense translation and explanation of the legal language that I was stuck on, as well as great advice on how to move forward.

Everything i have ever asked him to do, look into, ask, type up, or follow up on he took care of immediately even though he still had so many other cases to deal with as well. The prosecutor was trying to put me in prison for 5-15 years on a first offense and scott fought it all the way with me for a year and a half and got me a NOT GUILTY verdict on 2 counts.

Whenever I had a question, he would take the time to make sure it was completely answered and he always promptly responded to my calls and emails. He knew exactly what my rights were and he did not allow the prosecution to take advantage of me. Matthew went over all of my options and I received the best possible outcome. Matthew will look at every aspect of your case and come up with the best plan to defend you. Many lawyers tell their clients just to take the plea without even looking at the facts. Matthew will truly work hard and defend you. He quickly mitigated all the stress I felt surrounding my case, by relieving me and allowing me to get back to my day to day life. The state will press charges against you that can destroy your life, and career based on a police officers opinion.

With my case he always had a back up plan and made sure I was updated once information has arrived. It was easy to get into contact with him which effective communication is crucial amounts your lawyer and yourself. Adam does a great job at offering advice but is also willing to support any decision you have. He is an honest person, great lawyer and is definitely worth hiring as your attorney.

I had the opportunity to have a consultation with Mr. Gross about a legal situation I am currently in. He was extremely helpful to me. To me a genius is someone who can take information that would be impossible to understand and make it accessible to anyone. So when I consult with an attorney I expect to hear ...this is the trouble your in and this is how much its going to cost. I do not expect to want to take back the last ten years of my life and become an attorney myself to join the good fight! I think they call that inspiration, and that is what you need from a lawyer. And getting a genius doesnt hurt..

Adam and the DM Cantor team were incredible in handling my DUI Case. It was my second time getting a DUI and the team was successfully able to get my case down to a first time offense. I ended up with a first time fine, home detention and ultimately a reduced penalty in the State of Arizona for a second-time offense. The result of my case was a very favorable considering that a normal second time DUI requires a minimum of 6 days in jail and 24 of home detention and more significant fines and fees. I can't express my gratitude to Adam and the DM Cantor team enough. I would recommend them to anyone.

I have used Vincent Matioli’s law service on a couple occasions. The first time was when I found myself in a pickle. I attempted to waffle my way through it alone because I didn’t think I could afford an attorney. Finding Vince was a god send. Not only did he get my DUI charge dropped he made the process painless. Between his experience, availability, knowledgeable paralegal, and flexibility with payments I was able to move on and get past this unfortunate event rather smoothly. The second time I contacted Vince was for some legal advice pertaining to my Sisters divorce. He was able to help me understand how the process went which in turn helped put my mind at ease that my sisters lawyer was doing his job. Vince is truly a caring lawyer which I didn’t think existed. If you need any legal assistance don’t waste your time trying to figure it out yourself or with some expensive big name law firm. Contact Vince you won’t be disappointed.

Atty Ravindar helped me throughout my immigration process. Unlike the previous attorney I hired, he was easy to reach and woukd call you himself if you need him. To him, his cases are handled with care. I would recommend him to anyone who needs an immigration attorney who is sharp, mentally strong, approachable and someone who you wil feel safe with while going through a difficult time in your life

Mr. Gattone and his staff are caring about the issues that affect the our population today. What most people do not realize is that the issues he goes to court for affect the rest of us. When a lawsuit comes it puts everyone on notice that the behavior won't be tolerated and the other people involved do not sleep so well. Change happens with a lawyer willing to fight for what is right these lawsuits can then be used in other cases. This is how the fight for justice marches on. This is what this office is about.

I had Andrew as a P.D. (public defender) this past few months of 2012. I was very impressed with the way Mr. Falick handled my case considering I had a lot of felony charges against me. Andrew worked tirelessly on my case, keeping me informed on everything and above all, he was there for me. He saw me as a 20 year old kid with a bright future ahead. Also, Andrew took to the fact that I have a very supportive family and a basketball scholarship awaiting me this august. Andrew Falick is an excellent attorney I would recommend this attorney to anybody looking for a great public defender. Thanks for reading my review, I hope it gave some insight to people looking for an attorney and i know this is just my opinion but i hope it will help someone else that has an uphill battle in the court system. Thank You Andrew

Todd Baker a father , a family man , a true public defender. Many of the men and women that work in the circuit courts dont get enough credit. He never made me feel he didnt have my back. Im still in a court process currently with him. He put my mind at ease immediately. Most public defenders talk deals out of the gate , not Todd. He understands the law and his clients needs. It was easy to tell him the truth because he isnt judging you. Most Public Defenders get a bad comment. These men and women have a passion for the law and take lower pay scales to help those in need. I strive to have that much honor. Todd made me feel like a person and is not worried if he has to go to trial. This man knows his stuff about the law and knows people makes mistakes. I went to his office for hours and it didnt cost me a cent. What would this cost with attorneys in private just for one hour ? He cleared all the other files on his desk immediately. If you ask for a true public defender ask for him by name. He puts your mind at ease , im sure its not easy to balance his life and be your support , but he does this well. He went to work on my case immediately and was open to every idea I had. We talked through every aspect of my case. He is helping save my family and my reputation as a father and Network administrator. I respect this man for all he is doing to help me . Thank you Todd for protecting me and putting my mind at ease , thanks for being there for me in my darkest hour.

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.
