Sarah is definitely a 5star attorney, I have a federal case out of the southern district of Georgia. She did my direct appeal and oral arguments. We did not win, she fought tooth and nail through the entire process. Her brief allowed me to have a great foundation for the Supreme Court (acquitted conduct), (trial punishment). Without her knowledge of the law and hard work I would never have been able to make it through this corruption of the government. Now congress, sentencing commission and Supreme Court are about to change law on the above issues. After completing my case Sarah continues to help me on any of my legal issues. She is always a email away

I highly recommend Mrs. Saraliene Durrett for your attorney needs. Mrs. Durrett will put up a fight and she doesn't make any promises she won't keep. She is always there when you need her unlike some attorneys that don't return calls but she does. She has all the skills and knowledge and will tell you upfront. I am thankful we crossed paths and she will always be my go-to
God bless you and your family

Attorney Nagel worked for me for 20 months on a complicated DUI case. I live in CT and the charges were in GA and it complicated things greatly. He was able to work with the prosecutor and have a plea bargain worked out for me ahead of time so that when I flew down I knew what to expect.

I hired Mr. Horlick last year after getting a second DUI within 10 years (not proud of this, obviously) and I couldn't be happier with the work he did. He did all he could to help me get the best possible outcome in this unfortunate situation and lets just say that I was very pleased with the results. He was always sympathetic to my situation and never made me feel as though I was bothering him with questions and general ignorance of possible scenarios and/or outcomes. Hiring a lawyer in these types of situations is never cheap. Thankfully, I was able to pay him in monthly installments that we both agreed upon so that the financial hit wasn't so hard on me. I highly suggest hiring Mr. Horlick.

We hired Robert to resolve a legal matter involving our son. I work with many attorneys in my line of work and Robert ranks in the top tier on technical skills. However what really sest Robert apart from everyone else is his approachability. He takes quality time to explain, in layman terms, the legal process and the theory behind it. He does not make you feel inferior for asking questions. In the end, we had a very good outcome with our matter. I would highly recommend Robert.

I called about a traffic citation and I was willing to pay someone to go to court and help me fight my speeding ticket but he gave me some steps to take without an attorney. I was impressed by how honest he was. I could tell that he was not interested in selling me on legal services that I really did not need.

My teenaged son, while intelligent in many aspects of life, made a very bad decision and was arrested along with a couple of friends for drug possession (felony) & alcohol (minor in possession). Doug represented me in another case & delivered very favorable results so I was confident when I approached him with my son’s case.
Doug took my son and another boy’s case and represented them as co-defendents. Doug worked with a State Prosecutor in/out of court for a weeks, and in the end their cases were dismissed. The boys were required to attend drug and alcohol classes & complete community service hours. Needless to say, my wife, son & I were more than pleased with the outcome!
Doug held our hand and explained to us in detail what to expect in every step of the legal process. In the courtroom he’s a calm and collective & is well respected by his peers. Watching him interact/work in the courtroom ensured us we made the right decision to his firm to represent our then high school aged son.

Our son was arrested by the Atlanta PD one evening in August 2019. I got a call at home at 1 am from the University Dean telling me he was in the Fulton County jail and had been charged with a felony. My son's entire future, reputation and education was at stake and we had no details of the events that led up to his arrest. After searching online for the best defense attorney I could find, I contacted Mr Weintraub at 7 am the following morning and he immediately went into action. He was able to get my son released the following day on a signature bond so that he would not miss any more classes. Over the next several weeks, Mr Weintraub and his fantastic private investigator gathered exculpatory evidence, interviewed witnesses and expertly navigated the case through the court system. Before the end of the year he was able to have the case entirely dismissed. I have no hesitation in recommending Howard Weintraub as a criminal defense attorney and cannot imagine what might have happened to our son if I had not made the call.

All of the positive reviews I would echo wholeheartedly. From day one and my initial phone call to Mr. Pines he was very professional. He was wise in his guidance, confident in the outcome and consistent in his strategy and demeanor. I am overwhelmingly grateful for the success of my case. I could not recommend someone more. I am beyond thankful for his work in my matter.

I’m a Florida resident and it was time to renew my Florida drivers licenses. Florida DMV told me I could not renew because of a 15 year old traffic violation in Atlanta. I reached out to Juanita and was genuinely impressed and amazed at how quickly and efficiently she resolved my issue. I retained her services on Saturday and by 11:00 on Monday morning the issue was resolved. Saved me the time, expense, and hassle of going to Atlanta and resolving myself. While I hope I never need Juanita’s services again, if I do, my first and only call will be to her. In these days when people don’t always do what they say they will do, Juanita is a rock star.

CHARLIE, First, is a NO Bulsh@! Lawyer. He Will NOT sugar coat anything. He's very straightforward, yet will take every case seriously, regardless of the magnitude of it. He has LITERALLY SAVED ME FROM PRISON FOR A 10YR SENTENCE! I did 90DAYS!! HE ALSO STOPPED ME FROM SCREWING MYSELF WITH 1st offender ( knowing the chances of me having ANY new run-ins with the law, he saw, as to great a risk. He was 100% CORRECT!) TO ME, CHARLIE IS NOT JUST THE BEST LAWYER IN GA, BUT A GOOD, GENUINE PERSON WHO TAKES EVERY CASE SERIOUSLY- TO THE CONCLUSION! THE BEST THERE IS, LOVE HIM!! ERYN...

Recently I was in the process of going through the justice system for several serious infractions, DUI, Child Endangerment, and failure to obey “No Wake” sign For months it took it’s toll physically, mentally and extremely overwhelming. However, I hired a reputable and highly experienced attorney, Charlie T Magarahan, Attorney at Law. He responded quickly and informatively to all of my phone calls, texts, and emails. My husband and I were impressed by his confidence in the courtroom and his professionalism. ( In the courthouse, it was always, “Hey Charlie”. “How are you doing Charlie”.? We will get that to you as quickly as possible, Charlie”.)
Charlie you’re the MAN! Thank you so much for all of your hard work and dedication.
Highly recommended!

Back in 2010, I was seeking help with some serious felony charges. Parag has been there through every step of the way; filing motions, answering all my questions and maintaining contact throughout the whole process. He is only ever a phone call or email away and very good at keeping me in the loop. Now to be on the backend of all my troubles, he is still here offering his help and knowledge. He has truly been a blessing in my whole situation, never judging, and always giving me his best. Anyone would be lucky to have him in their corner.

Mr. Shah did a phenomenal job representing my 24 year old son in Cobb County Superior Court today! I was overwhelmed with tears at how hard he fought to keep him from a prison sentence that I have seen young men his age receive on a daily basis in Fulton County Superior Court. I was also impressed with the Sentencing Mitigation Packet that he put together to give a true and accurate account of who my son is and was prior to the charges. Parag Shah represented my son like he was representing his own child and I will forever be grateful to him for his compassion and dedication to making sure that he received a fair and just sentence.

Renee has helped me & my family through dark days & nights but when it was time for her to shine in that courtroom , it was like an angel came and stood right in front of you wit her hand out! I had Agg assault w/ deadly weapon, disorderly conduct, family violence & she got them ALL DISMISSED! She wasn’t taking 1st offender pleas or NOTHING other than released & dismissed . I thank God for her. She’s been around for 30+ years and out of 30 , she’s solved about 65 of me and my family’s cases . HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER , not only because she solved all our cases but she isn’t money-hungry. She work with all kinds of money .. she’s a pretty penny but less than most of the other lawyers here in Atlanta. Thanks for all that you’ve done RENEE ..

I was more than satisfied with Babson Law Firm. I was very unhappy with my original lawyers and ended up changing to Rocky’s law firm and thank GOD I did!! He handled any concern promptly and went over and beyond for me. He treated me like a friend or family member more than a client. He even drove over an hour away from his home to attend a Drs. appointment with me. He worked his tail off and got me everything I deserved and I could never thank him enough. I would recommend Babson Law Firm to everyone! Rocky was born to be a lawyer! He’s the best!!!!

I came to Rocky with a work injury. I injured my shoulder while working for a commercial developer. What started as a bad dislocation ended up being a torn rotator cuff. I also had a neck injury with my cervical spine. Unfortunately my employer was not the shining star I needed them to be when I was injured. When I got in touch with Rocky my mind was IMMEDIATELY at ease. More importantly, he put my family at ease. My employer's insurance company did not want to pay for my surgery and Rocky fought them all the way until the morning of court - they relented rather than lose to this BULLDOG OF AN ATTORNEY. Rocky fought every step of the way for me and my family. He did not give up. He did not take their crap. Had it not been for Rocky I am sure I would still be in a world of hurt and confusion over this entire mess. Rocky....thank you for what you did. I hope I never have a friend or family member who has a workers compensation claim, but if I do, they will hire you. Rocky got me $190,000 for my case. I am 100% satisfied with everything he did. Thank you!

When you're going through a divorce, it's one of the most challenging and emotionally taxing experiences you can face. Even the most rational person can act irrationally under such stress, and unfortunately, some law firms exploit this, turning divorces into drawn-out, more expensive, and unnecessarily contentious affairs. But then there’s Narissa.
Narissa genuinely strives for fairness, not just for you but for all parties involved. She keeps a laser focus on what's best for the children and understands the importance of preserving your future relationship with your ex-spouse. When children are involved, like it or not, your ex will continue to be part of your life, and Narissa recognizes how crucial it is to maintain peace, while protecting you, even in the toughest situations. She helps you navigate the pros and cons of your steps ypu can take in your case with these values in mind.
If you're considering or have decided on divorce and have children or assets to protect, I highly recommend consulting with Narissa. She is a steady hand through one of life’s most turbulent times.

I hired Brian and his law firm to assist me after another driver recklessly crashed into the back of my car. Brian helped me through the entire process. Brian and the other members of his firm were constantly checking in to make sure my treatment was going well. Once I completed treatment, Brian took over. He gathered my medical records, prepared a demand package, and negotiated with the insurance company. When the initial offer was laughably low, Brian took on the insurance company and worked out a fair settlement in the case. Brian was ready to go to trial but his expertise in negotiations prevented the need to file suit. I highly recommend Brian, Bill, and the rest of the team at the Stein & Caron Law Group.

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 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.

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!

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.
