When a member of our immediate family called us from jail, we were completely bewildered and didn't know where to turn. Not only was this our first experience with the criminal justice system, but our family member was out of state. We didn't know any lawyers in Georgia, but after an exhaustive search, we were very fortunate to find Tom Church.
Tom was with us every step of the way, beginning with successfully obtaining bail, and concluding with a positive result and no jail time. Needless to say, we are all relieved and grateful!
Tom has an impressive courtroom presence. His defense in our case was well organized and compelling. We knew we were in good hands.
On a personal level, Tom and his firm are a pleasure to work with. They answer all calls and emails promptly, which is important in a time of great anxiety. Tom explains the law in terms that are easy to comprehend. He is intelligent, witty, and compassionate...all traits that give much needed comfort and inspire confidence.
We can't thank him enough!

Tom Church gave me my life back! I was convicted of a very serious crime almost four years ago that would have resulted in a lifelong hardship and very little chance of living a normal life of any kind. With little hope, I contacted Mr. Church to see if there was ANYTHING he could do to make my life just a little less painful. Without hesitation, he knew exactly how to handle my situation. Tom quickly wrote up a motion, set a hearing date, and successfully had my original conviction withdrawn and changed to a lesser charge. The new charge allowed me to have first offender, meaning after probation all charges would be expunged and my records sealed. Next, he filed a motion to have my probation sentence terminated early. Tom found a way to have my case heard virtually, even with the COVID restrictions. While in court, Tom knocked it out of the park. His outstanding work and line of questioning quickly convinced the judge to terminate my ten-year probation after serving less than four years. The judge and ADA were so impressed with his professionalism that they took a significant amount of time out of my hearing to personally thank him and even encouraged him to handle more cases in my county! Thanks to Tom I now have a promising future and a CLEAN RECORD. Tom answered every one of my emails promptly and truly cared about my case and my endless questions. Even after his work with me was done, Tom continued to help me with lingering issues that were far beyond the scope of our contract. You cannot do better than Tom Church if you find yourself in a hopeless legal situation. No need to keep searching for the right attorney, Tom is as good as it gets. He accomplished what seemed impossible, I can’t thank you enough for your diligence and dedication to my case.

Attorney Thomas Church was the “Ray of Hope” that our family needed when we were struggling with how to get our son released from prison during the COVID-19 Pandemic. He was professional, knowledgeable, dedicated, and caring. He was in constant communication with us, the case was handled in a very timely manner, and he brought our son home! He made a stressful time a lot easier, which we greatly appreciated. We could not have found a better lawyer. Be Blessed and Thank You Mr. Church!

Leigh Ann did everything just like she said she would do. Never promised anything she couldn’t guarantee but also worked hard to get my appeal granted and was successful! Communicated with me frequently and I 10/10 recommend using Leigh Ann and would give her more stars if I could! When I first heard about her I was told she was one of the best. I had high hopes but was afraid to be let down. I’m so glad to say I wasn’t. I am truly grateful and impressed. Worth more than every penny I spent. Thank you Leigh Ann!

Attorney McPhillip counseled me on a couple of legal matters regarding my company. He assisted me with drafting documents and legal correspondence with the respective entities. He also followed up on my behalf and kept me informed of each step. He not only provided great legal representation; he always remained communicative, informative, and truthful.

William was very helpful throughout our whole case. when the insurance at fault was being difficult, William took time to explain every step and possible outcome depending on that step. when i had questions about any little thing, he was always open to hop in a quick phone call and answer any questions/doubts. i ended up moving out of state and he ensured the process was seamless. i’m thankful for all his help & hard work on my case.

I can’t express enough gratitude for the outstanding service we received from Edgar Aguirre and the team at the Law Office of Dwayne L. Brown. After my wife and I were involved in a wreck, they handled everything with such professionalism and care. Edgar was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, keeping us updated regularly and making sure we understood every step. They did all the heavy lifting, allowing us to focus on healing while they worked tirelessly to secure us a great compensation. The process was timely, and we felt fully supported from start to finish. I highly recommend this firm to anyone in need of legal assistance!

Mr. Brown was referred to my family through a friend. My mother had just been in a near fatal collision with a tractor trailer. She was fortunate to have survived.
Her recovery is still ongoing 2 years after the accident. With that said, Mr. Brown was wonderful. He was very compassionate and attentive to our family and mother's health and financial concerns. Even more, he was very fair with us and got us fair compensation from the trucking company. He got more than even he had expected. This is all to say that Mr. Brown is a brilliant legal mind and determined to get justice and resolve the inequity that dominates these cases where the big insurance companies attempt to force you to settle for much less than you deserve. I have nothing but the best to say for Mr. Brown; you will be represented fairly and forcefully and dealt with compassionately which will help in moving you forward with your health and life.
Blessings to Mr. Brown forever

I can't say enough about Attorney Brown. Just an all around class act. His professionalism, care, concern, and honesty is incomparable. He was very thorough with me and the case- keeping me informed and included in the process every step of the way. He educated me on the legal process, educating about things I had no prior knowledge about. He was very persistent in fighting for me to help me get a settlement. There is no doubt in my mind, that I would have had the same outcome with my previous attorney. Attorney Brown was always polite and patient with both me and the process. He was always available to take my calls and if he wasn't his legal assistant was available to assist me or connect me with Attorney Brown in a timely manner. I always felt like I was a priority to him. He empowered me to stay optimistic during the process. I trust him and his ability to get good results. He is very good at what he does, matter of fact one of the best. I would hire him again without considering anyone else. Your in great hands with him.

Nick worked with Paul Bartels on our cases. They really went the extra mile in our case. We hired them for a drug / controlled substances case. Well, it was more like three different cases in two different counties, including a probation violation case, a new controlled substances violation case, and a different controlled substances case (where a gun was also found, though it wasn't his, but the DA might have said who knows what). So, this was an extremely difficult situation, with three felonies in 2 counties all being processed at the same time! It took a lot of juggling! And on top of all that, our goal was to get the person into rehab, in order to get better, versus just to have time in jail. They had so much work to do to make this happen, helping to identify rehabs that the judge would approve, that the probation officer would approve, that the DA would approve. Nick and Paul were professional, courteous, and hard working. We are very appreciative.

The state of Georgia indicted me on two counts of Racketeering that I did not commit. Nick defended me with dedication, caring, and skillfulness in interacting with all parties involved. Against almost insurmountable odds, he was able to get my case dismissed. I will be eternally grateful for all he has done for me. I consider him a superb criminal defense attorney and also call him my friend!

I was in a bad situation at one point in my life, the Federal Government brought criminal action against me and i knew i had to be accountable for my action. I was looking for a good lawyer who specialized in criminal law, one who has professional experience in a court room and could give me good advice on what i needed to do. I interviewed three lawyer and someone told me about Nicholas Lotito, so i meet with him and we talked for hours, i was very impress with his honesty, i was convince and had know doubts or uncertainty that he was the person i needed to represent me. At the end of the trial everything worked out good. So thank you Mr. Lotito for the good work you did.

When I first contacted Roger, he was not my attorney but gave me more of his time and personal assistance than anyone else had. He kept me informed of what was going on in my case and even assisted in contacting the attorney for my son and informed me of what could happen in his case. He gives 110% to assist his clients and even those who are not or may not be a client. In my experience this is very unusual for an attorney. When we went to court, the judges office notified him that day we were to be in court as soon as we could get there. He cancelled everything else he had to be in court with me.
He did everything he could to assist me and presented a very convincing case for me.

I could not have asked for a better lawyer! I hired Dan and Meg to help and thank God I did! I was arrested over the holidays and Dan and Meg went beyond out of their way to help! I am out, thank God! And it's only because of Conaway & Strickler! Now, my case is heading in the right direction. Their staff was very professional, courteous and went above and beyond my expectations. All so very appreciated.

Meg is the best! Words aren't enough to express my deepest thanks and gratitude for her firm's help. I have a second chance at life.

Years of anxiety and it's now all over thanks to Conaway & Strickler's tireless and aggressive representation!!!

I will admit, there were times that I was discouraged because Mr. Sylvan can be a hard man to reach at times, but by the time we got to court, he had his facts together, had a plan together, and KILLED it in the courtroom! He had tactics, he had facts, he had researched the officer, knew the characteristics of the judge and the prosecutor, and knew exactly what to do. Outcome of my case? THREE SEPERATE CHARGES- FOUND NOT GUILTY OF ALL THREE! Not any ol' lawyer can do that. He is good; VERY GOOD! Do yourself some justice while getting justice--hire this guy, lay back, and let him do what he does best. He is truly an awesome attorney...

I was charged with DUI and needed someone who would keep this off my record because I was afraid of losing my job if my license go suspended. Mr Sylvan go the charges dropped to a reckless driving and saved my license. I can't thank him enough for all the hard work he did as well as all the hand holding he had to do with me. I hope to never need him again but if I do I will definitely be hiring him to help me.

Will was by far the best public defender I have ever had to work with. He was very passionate about the law and making sure it was being upheld. He talked us through everything and came up with a solid plan and defense. He answered every question no matter how small or stupid and reassured us that he was completely there to help us. In the end we got our fur babies back safe and sound and we couldn't be more thankful and forever indebted to him. So if you need a public defender ask for Will he is by far the best.

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 retained attorney Brown due to some legal trouble I was facing. I was charged with 10 felony crimes for which I did not commit. Attorney Brown and her team spent countless hours working on my case to produce the best possible outcome. Attorney Brown did a wonderful job and was able to get ALL my charges dismissed. She was extremely professional, answered all of my questions in a timely manner, and showed that she has my best interest in mind. She is very passionate about her career and accepts nothing less than a favorable outcome. I hope that I am never in legal trouble again, however, if I am I will definitely retain Attorney Brown again and recommend her to all my family and friends who might be facing legal trouble.

Alex is an extremely talented attorney. She is passionate about her clients and takes her cases to heart. She understood my needs but also knew what a court would award so there was that balance in the case. There were somethings that I, as a client, thought was a need but in reality it was emotion talking and Alex easily separates that to handle the case more professionally. She knew my file when we went to court, she did not misrepresent facts and she knew exactly how to cross examine the opposing party. She was well prepared for court, which is unusual in todays world. We were successful in my case in every way and I credit Alex with her ability to fight, her knowledge of the law and her being prepared. If you hire this lawyer, you will be extremely pleased with her performance rather you win or lose your case. Not every case is a winning case but she is by far the best Attorney in Georgia.

Alex Manning is an amazing lawyer. She takes the time to learn every detail about the case. My case was about child support and visition. She investigated and studied all of the financial paperwork and was able to locate discrepancies which in turn helped me finally receive child support. Even after court she continued to check on me and my children. She fought for us and never stopped. I have referred several people to her for criminal and civil matters and they are all happy with her. I will only use her for all of my families legal needs.

I was arrested on multiple DUI charges and other misdemeanors over a short period of time. I hired Mr. Wren to handle all of the legal proceedings and he did a fantastic job. Though I thought I was facing possible felony charges, Mr. Wren was able to resolve all cases as misdemeanors through negotiations with judges, prosecutors, and court staff. He was even able to get some charges to reckless driving, although I have a substantial DUI history. I have worked in the legal profession myself, and personally know that this result is almost unheard of in situations such as mine. His knowledge of DUI law, the relationships he has developed with court administrators throughout the metro Atlanta area, his negotiation and trial acumen, and his willingness to do the utmost to protect his client's rights, allowed him to resolve all of my cases with results I cannot believe to this day. With Mr. Wren, I always knew what could happen on the day I had to appear in court, though on each occasion, Mr. Wren's skill achieved a better result than I could have imagined. For example, a solicitor had offered a 2nd DUI in 5 years plea which I was set to plea to on a particular date. This plea could have resulted in, among other things, substantial fines and jail time, having to install an intoxilyzer on my vehicle, and the loss of my license for a year. By the time we walked out of court that day, Mr. Wren had convinced the solicitor to drop the charge to a reckless driving. Unbelievavble! I went from thinking I was going to jail to not even losing my license within a matter of hours, all because of Mr. Wren. Mr. Wren is wise beyond his years and acts and works as if he has been doing this for decades. I would recommend him to anyone. His dedication to his profession and willingness to work hard for every client make Mr. Wren one of the finest lawyers I have ever worked with professionally or in dealing with my personal struggles. In a few words, I am grateful and blessed that Mr. Wren was my attorney. Thank you Mr. Wren!

Jerry is a terrific lawyer. My son was questioned by Homeland Security agents on a Sunday of a 4th of July weekend. He found Jerry on the internet and called him. Jerry answered the phone, he was in his office. He met my son that day. My wife and I met with him later and he seemed to understand the process very well. We hired him. What a great attorney. He was knowledgeable, a skilled negotiator, very good in court, and dedicated to my son's case. He made himself 100% available, the guy answers his phone at any hour! We knew that my son was guilty, but after several meetings with the prosecutor and court hearings he struck an agreement. My son was looking at 8-10 years hard time. He is serving 18 months in a prison camp. We paid Jerry a good sum, but it was well spent. I would recommend him highly.

It is actually an understatement to call him brilliant. My case with the federal government extended over ten years. His diligence to the law and detail was surpassed by none of the other defendants' attorneys. I trusted him completely with my future and never had any reason to second guess his abilities or knowledge. He was always available when I had questions or concerns . He was well respected and received by all in the courtroom.

I have hired Marny twice for myself, for serious traffic-related matters. Marny was able to win both cases.
One case was dismissed, and one case was reduced to reckless driving, which I consider a "win" when charged with DUI. These outcomes were a necessity, given my professional career and reputation.
Additionally, Marny was able to win a minor traffic case for my son in juvenile court, which resulted from a ticket received after a minor traffic accident.

Marny represented me in court for a minor traffic violation because I was from out of state and couldn't make in back for the mandatory court appearance. The violation resulted in an accident that I was 'technically' at fault in. I had pictures to back up my assertion that the signs were obstructed.
Marny returned my call 10 minutes after I left a message, on a holiday weekend. She explained all my options to me and from that point forward
did exactly what she said she would do, every time she said she would do it. She was reliable during a time when I needed it and was able to get the violation reduced to a no points violation and I was able to plead no contest. She responded to my emails and texts promptly and was always on the phone when I needed to discuss something. This is very rare in today's world and I couldn't have been happier with Marny.
I would highly recommend Marny to anyone needing help with any kind of driving offense. Thank you Marny!

From the moment we hired this law firm, they started working efficiently to get the best results for my fiance's case. Katryna was straight forward and very honest about what she could do. She worked very hard on his case and did extremely well when she went before the judge. She was detailed and thorough and fought hard to get him the lowest time. He was facing over 15 years and she got his time cut by more than half that. We are very appreciative and grateful for her forever! I highly recommend her!

From day one when i called Lowther/Walker LLC, I have been very happy with my services they promised me they would work hard at my case but never over promised anything.
I would recommend Katryna Spearman because she did an amazing job with helping me with my case and making sure I understood everything. At sentencing she did the best she could to make sure that I received the least amount of time. Now after sentencing she is still working hard for me because I have so many medical problems and she is making sure that I get the best things possible with the situation.

After making a stupid decision and getting behind the wheel after drinking, my first call was to Sean who I knew through my family. He was able to mitigate my case and I plead to a lessor charge of reckless driving. As always, Sean was professional and efficient. I did not have to worry about anything.

Sean worked on some business contracts and he really knocked it out of the park! He asked all of the relevant questions at the beginning and kept me informed of progress. The contracts he helped with are what we used to close the deal! Couldn’t have asked for a better, more professional lawyer.

I was charged with a DUI and reckless driving and I found the law firm while searching through google. I was connected with (and hired) Jessica Jones and she was able to walk me through my case and offered her best legal counsel. I really appreciate her efforts in keeping me up to date and fighting for me to get the best possible deal. She was able to immensely reduce my sentence and got both my dui and reckless driving dismissed! So glad to have worked with Jessica and this law firm!

FIVE STARS! (The app isn't allowing me to select the fifth star for some reason.)
I am representing myself Pro Se but had a few questions about how to proceed.
Nathan was courteous and knowledgeable and answered every question I had. He also mentioned a few viewpoints that I hadn't considered.
This was money very well spent. Thank you, Nathan!

I researched the web for a lawyer in a matter that was critical and timely. I took a chance and simply guessed that Nathan would be appropriate for my case. He performed very well and was successful in helping me and coincidentally I needed him for another case which he performed in the same stable manner and we were successful once again. From afar I lucked out in finding Nathan.

If your looking for an attorney who actually cares about you and your freedom then look no further. Brian put forth such a heart felt argument that the judge not only reduced my sentence but commented in open court that he believed Brian respected me and genuinely cared about my case. I'm not one to leave a lot of reviews but I can't say enough about the quality of representation I received from this man. You can do no better than Brian when facing the federal government. Thank you so much Brian

Brian was great. He facilitated the legal process by giving concise and succinct answers to the plethora of legal questions that I bombarded on him. His knowledgeable answers calmed the waters for me significantly. His prompt responses to every document that opposing counsel hurled my way gave me peace of mind knowing that I had made the right choice when I picked him to be my attorney. To the layman, he really knows his stuff. Put it this way, I'd feel confident with Brian even if I was being sued by any of the world's largest companies.

I got myself into some trouble and was sure that I would find myself in prison. I was referred to Stacy through a friend and was hesitant at first because she seemed to be a family attorney and was from a different county. She was really fair on her price and the consultation went really well so I chose to go with her. I couldn't be happier with my decision. She is a professional and did what alot of lawyers I spoke with said couldn't be done. Do yourself a favor and choose Stacy.

My significant other (SO) and I started a pre-nup using an online webform, and per GA law, I sought an attorney to review on my behalf.
During my initial consultation with Ms. Crittenden, she was very positive about the effort we were making and she listened to all of my concerns and questions. All of my questions and concerns were addressed in a very straightforward manner, with simple language, using examples to illustrate the point. This made it easy for me to share the ramifications of the web template language with my SO and for us to work through what we intended the document to say.
We ultimately hired Ms. Crittenden to reword the pre-nup based a document where we identified our intent and wishes. When my SO's attorney reviewed the document there were only minor updates to be made.
Ms. Crittenden made what could potentially be a difficult process easy! I would return to Ms. Crittenden for assistance - I trust her judgement and ability to help carry out my wishes!

I met with Mrs. Crittenden, following a referral from a lawyer friend of mine that practices in another field. I was being brought back to court for a change in custody and child support. I met with Mrs. Crittenden for the initial appointment and was very impressed with the help that she offered, even prior to my agreement to retain her services. She has her heart in the right place and eventually, I had to admit that I could not afford her (very reasonable) retainer. She was able to offer several payment options, which also did not fit my current (limited) budget. However, she did provide very helpful advice around filing my initial response to the court on my own, so that I had more time to find an attorney that did fit my budget. I cannot say enough positive things about Mrs. Crittenden. I felt that she understood the importance of the continuation of my role in my child's life, especially as the NCP (Dad). I would recommend her to anyone - and I also feel that if I had been able to find a way to pay her reasonable retainer, I would have been very pleased with the outcome. Instead, I found an attorney that was willing to work within my budget. While the other attorney's services were appropriate, I feel that Mrs. Crittenden would have been a more present and qualified advocate for my rights. I do have a stack of her cards and hand them out to others that can benefit from her services. If I ever require the services of a family attorney again, I have no doubt that I will return to Mrs. Crittenden.

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:
-
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. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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.
