Pick Murray. Here is WHY:
Murray was recommended to me by an unavailable lawyer whom I'd reached out to for guidance. I was upset at first but decided to contact Murray anyway. He provided a free, phone consultation in which he walked me through the whole process of applying for my husband to be a US permanent resident. After the phone conversation, I asked for a second call and sent several emails with follow-up questions. Murray was patient, kind and made me feel confident about the process.
Fast forward, the filing process was a breeze with the office's online portal. My husband and I constantly communicated with Stephanie (paralegal) and Oscar (legal assistant). We were kept updated with all changes regarding our case. We completed the process, as recommended by Murray, and were approved for a green card and SS card in 3 months. The whole team treated us well, and we are thankful for the smooth experience.
Personal update:
Our case was very straightforward. Here is our situation and how we filed if potential clients of Murray may wonder:
I am a US citizen and my husband is a Canadian (former Indian) citizen. We filed for his permanent residency so that we may live together in the US. We provided all our documents with the initial filing to avoid any delays. We filed for the Green Card, SS card, work permit, and travel document all at once. We included my husband's medical examination as well. We did have to complete a biometrics appointment (took 10 minutes tops), but the immigration interview was waived. My husband received his Green Card before his work permit or travel document applications were processed. Hope you have a great experience and good luck!
We live outside of Dallas and never visited Murray's physical office. Everything was virtual.

**Amazing Personal Injury Lawyer - Highly Recommend!**
I had the pleasure of working with McKinney Firm after car accident with neck and shoulder injury. From the start, they were incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and always had my best interests at heart.
Throughout the entire process, they were attentive, keeping me informed every step of the way and answering all my questions with patience and clarity. Their dedication to my case was evident, and they fought tirelessly to ensure I received the compensation I deserved.
What stood out most was genuine care and commitment. I felt like more than just a client—I was treated with respect and empathy, which made a difficult situation much easier to handle.
If you’re looking for a personal injury Law Firm who is not only skilled but also compassionate, I highly recommend McKinney I’m truly grateful for all they did to help me through this challenging time.

It’s true it takes a village to raise a child and I’m proud to say my village was and still is Attorney Charles Medearis.
At a time when I was experiencing some difficulty with my son’s behavior which involved in legal action, Attorney Medearis was assigned as counsel to assist and help in saving my son from himself. Although I never met Atty Medearis in person I INSTANTLY felt a sense of calm when speaking to him. It was if Atty Medearis could feel my pain and did not hesitate and reached out in a most, caring, calm, parent like and selfless way to speak to me.
During the times when Atty Medearis would converse with my son, I noticed a “big shift” in his behavior, so much so that it turned my son’s life around for the better.
Atty Medearis I truly thank you for assisting our family in a way that TRULY represents a commitment in redirecting young people who have lost their way!
My son and I will be forever grateful for your actions in making a difference in our lives.

Been working with Charles closely on a case I received in Texas a few years ago. Not only was Charles professional and patient the entire ordeal but was very adamant about communicating with me and the judge in order to get my case dismissed. For my first time needing an attorney, Mr. Medearis, and his assistant Jennifer were friendly and helpful with both me and my mother the whole way through! If ever needed I’d definitely recommend him and his team!

Special thanks to Rick, Jacob, James, Jackie , and Yasmine for their outstanding support. If you’re looking for a legal team that combines expertise with compassion, I highly recommend Cofer & Connelly. We couldn’t have asked for better representation.

Working with Jason on my immigration application was an exceptional experience, from start to finish. He was thoroughly educated in the process, provided in-depth and clear information at each stage, patiently answered every question I had (no matter how small or silly!), and was such a calming presence throughout the journey. His kindness, caring, and compassion were a huge comfort to me along the way. You can tell he loves his work and is committed to helping his clients succeed. I highly recommend him. Thank you, Jason!

I had gotten into a car accident and didn’t really know anything about finding a top notch attorney. I called a few accident attorneys near me but they didn’t really make me feel like I was of importance until I called The Patel Firm's Austin office. Once I went in and met my injury lawyer Mr. Minesh Patel and Corina Flores I knew this was the law firm I was looking for. They made me feel extremely safe, comfortable, and confident. I knew that they would do everything in their power to get a outcome I deserved, and they did exactly that. Every road block or issue, Mr. Patel resolved. They made me feel like family, especially Corina. She constantly went out of her way to help me with everything from getting doctors and chiropractor appointments, scheduling MRI, Xrays, and physical therapy that latest several months. She kept me up to date with everything that was going on with my case and also resolved any issues getting me my settlement in full. I would highly recommend this office to anyone looking for an experienced practice with civil lawyers and people that actually care about you and your medical injuries and your case. The staff here is the hardest working legal team in Texas, and work hard to get you your settlement. I couldn’t be happier or thank Minesh Patel and Corina enough. Great personal injury and civil practice, Great staff, Highly recommended.

I was hit by a car when I was just starting my motorcycle ride on Austin to Bastrop via Highway 71. It was a terrible crash and could have easily been fatal for me but I was blessed to only suffer whiplash and some fractures in my arms and leg. This was a bad injury which required surgery and four screws at St. David's Surgical Hospital in May 2023. There was no question the other driver was at fault. I had witnesses, pictures and a Texas Highway Patrol reported the car wreck all in my favor.
I called a couple of other injury attorneys on the phone and even met one in their office near Southeast Austin. I realized it was going to best difficult to find the best accident lawyer around Austin. My coworker from Progressive Insurance found Minesh Patel's law firm on Google Maps and after talking with him on the phone, I was confident he could handle my accident case and get the best settlement possible. Minesh, my accident lawyer and my case manager Amanda Moya took care of everything. He settled all my bills, negotiated with the medical insurance, got the limits from the other party’s insurance company for liability and property and also got the limit from my own uninsured auto coverage. I was not even aware my auto insurance covered me too. On top of all this he discounted his own fees. In the end I got the most I could have hoped for given the insurance limits and my expenses were significantly reduced!

I would hands down recommend any attorney seekers to Mrs. Cuellar. She is an attorney that is willing to listen and genuinely learn about your case, also she is compassionate and determined to fight for you! Not only did she worked my case quickly and efficiently! I thought I was never going to get out of the false criminal charges my ex put on me. But she worked her magic and my case was dismissed.
Thank you so much for everything you have done for me. You are an amazing attorney and I appreciate all that you have done.

If you’re looking for the best defender in Austin you are in the right place. In my experience attorneys are short and not the best at communicating. Zach was amazing. He really made sure that I was in the know every step of the way. When I needed something from the court, he got it done every time! Best of all a dismissal. One hundred percent defended me and beat my charge. He is not one that is in the mindset of guilty until acquitted, he trusted me and fought for me. A true advocate for justice and so professional. Honestly you will not find a better defender. Thank you Zach for aiding me in this case and for making my recovery journey possible! Dismissed I can’t believe it.

If you’re looking for the best defender in Austin you are in the right place. In my experience attorneys are short and not the best at communicating. Zach was amazing. He really made sure that I was in the know every step of the way. When I needed something from the court, he got it done every time! Best of all a dismissal. One hundred percent defended me and beat my charge. He is not one that is in the mindset of guilty until acquitted, he trusted me and fought for me. A true advocate for justice and so professional. Honestly you will not find a better defender. Thank you Zach for aiding me in this case and for making my recovery journey possible! Dismissed I can’t believe it.

It’s true it takes a village to raise a child and I’m proud to say my village was and still is Attorney Charles Medearis.
At a time when I was experiencing some difficulty with my son’s behavior which involved in legal action, Attorney Medearis was assigned as counsel to assist and help in saving my son from himself. Although I never met Atty Medearis in person I INSTANTLY felt a sense of calm when speaking to him. It was if Atty Medearis could feel my pain and did not hesitate and reached out in a most, caring, calm, parent like and selfless way to speak to me.
During the times when Atty Medearis would converse with my son, I noticed a “big shift” in his behavior, so much so that it turned my son’s life around for the better.
Atty Medearis I truly thank you for assisting our family in a way that TRULY represents a commitment in redirecting young people who have lost their way!
My son and I will be forever grateful for your actions in making a difference in our lives.

Been working with Charles closely on a case I received in Texas a few years ago. Not only was Charles professional and patient the entire ordeal but was very adamant about communicating with me and the judge in order to get my case dismissed. For my first time needing an attorney, Mr. Medearis, and his assistant Jennifer were friendly and helpful with both me and my mother the whole way through! If ever needed I’d definitely recommend him and his team!

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.
