I can't say enough good things about this firm. They handled my federal case and did it for a very great price. Hopefully I won't need criminal legal services in the future but you can bet your ass I'll be using these guys again!

I have been working with Joanne at Leeson & Leeson to settle my father's estate for the better part of this year. She is wonderful! She is quick to respond to my many questions. She is detail oriented and guides me through each step of what can be an overwhelming process. I so appreciate her demeanor, thoroughness and expertise in helping me and my siblings. Thank you Joanne and Leeson & Leeson.

So far he has lied and requested continuances on my behalf, because he was too busy elsewhere, twice, and just plain didn’t show for another appearance because he was in court in a different county on the date that he scheduled it for. This guy is a clown, don’t waste your money.

“I cannot recommend George highly enough! His expertise, professionalism, and dedication to his clients are truly unmatched.

He is thorough, strategic, and always keeps you informed throughout the process. If you’re looking for a lawyer who will fight tirelessly on your behalf and deliver incredible results, George is the one to call!”

I tossed and turned on whether to write this review all night.. I called on 8/26 the woman who answered the phone was sweet, I asked how much for a consult and how soon could i get on the schedule, I then explained the situation with the closing on our home.. she says ill leave a message and he will call you back.. first time needing a lawyer not sure what that meant.. Scott calls, is very to the point but still vague on if we even have a case or if we need a lawyer, what the expenses would be ECT.. I then call back to ask one more question to better help us understand.. Scott was rude and incredibly cold basically because i didn't put money out to retain him ( while still not understanding if we need a lawyer in the first place) he didn't want to answer any more questions... I got off the phone and cried i was more confused than before i called.. we have a small child that has acquired a year of mounting medical bills putting out for a lawyer that we are not sure will make our situation any better isn't on our bucket list. My best advice is to avoid this practice..they dont seem to have much compassion and are in it for the money and places like this will bleed you dry charging for every minute. yesterdays phone call could have been handled differently and they would have another client.. there are other really great practices in the area.. good luck

I hope this helps someone out there looking for help.Brian Roemersma is the answer. I worked for one of largest companies in the world for 16 years before I was injured. I went through more than 6 spinal surgeries. This was such a messed up Workmens Comp case I wouldnt have blamed Brian for giving up on me, he even talked me down off a ledge during the low points. My company threw me to the wolves and left me with no medical benefits. Brian made sure I got what I deserved. 5 years later I had my day in court. I recieved more than a fair settlement and other resources I didnt even know existed. Its been a long scary road ,but Brian Roemersma is a great lawyer but more importantly a good man. His team is thorough and competent. Couldnt have found a better person to have my back.

I hired Mr. Yannuzzi when purchasing our first home in the early 1990s. I was so impressed with his attention to detail, his determination to ensure we're were taken care of and protected that I have consulted with him over the years on various legal issues; from consumer issues, professional contracts, vehicle accidents to a faulty windshield installation that resulted in extensive damage to our car. Oh and his fees a extremely reasonable! I used Joe for our second home and continue to do so for all major life decisions. Again, highly recommended!

DO NOT retain Brandon Benner. Brandon took a retainer to work on a case; failed to work on that case for multiple weeks; went no contact - dodging phone calls and text messages - until I finally terminated his contract and went to his office in person, at which point he sheepishly returned the full retainer and apologized for wasting my time. I don't understand how this guy even has a license to practice law.
They will not dispute anything in this review because they know I have the documentation to back it up.

We chose Mr. Scomillio to assist us in a matter and the outcome was a positive one. We truly wanted to select an attorney who would represent us well and had the utmost respect and integrity. We felt as though he was confident throughout our time working with him and the communication was clear and what we would expect. These situations can be stressful but he walked us through everything and for that we are very thankful.

I've been blessed to converge with George over 13 years ago. He has literarily saved my life and the generations to come. He will fight for you as no one else will and he quite frankly speaking, never loses! He is super responsive, super intelligent, super smooth, and simply a super lawyer. Hiring George is an investment, not an expense, and if you had other attorneys in your life, this experience will make you wish you had met him sooner. Anyway, we all love George and you will too, not only bc of his pleasant mannerisms and making things easy to understand but bc he is a great renowned Legal Warrior! Go get em!

Let me start by saying most lawyers are horrible ! This does not apply here. George loves the law and all the intricacys of it. George is a professional and loves what he does and is respected not only by his peers but the system as well. He brings class and dignity to the profession like no one else. Better call Saul, more like better call Heitzman !

Garret Benner is not a good lawyer. At least for custody cases. My mother paid Mr. Benner $1,500 to spend a total of 3 to 4 hours with me including one PFA hearing and one custody conference. Not only did he NOT put up a fight after I initially sought custodyou of my kids he had the nerve to tell me I'm lucky I'm getting what I am getting. He put me so far in a hole that I could not get out of till this point. Made agreements that were not in the best interest of my kids or myself. My mother and I were wrong to give this man a chance or even pay him. But we live and we learn. Good luck trying to contact him during a case

We retained Garrett to be our attorney after a bus driver hit our son ON VIDEO. Mr. Benner dragged the case out telling us that the school district was settling and he was negotiating with the school attorney. He never returned emails or phone calls even when we made an appointment with his secretary to have a phone conference. Once the case was past the statute of limitations for filing a suit against the school district, he let us know that the district no longer wanted to settle. Big surprise. And here's the kicker! He never told us that his partner's brother was married to the principal of the middle school that our son attended in the district that we're suing! Can anyone spell "CONFLICT OF INTEREST"? Needless to say, we've moved onto another attorney. Word to the wise, "Dont't use this guy! A deceitful man and a complete waste of time".

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.
