Ms. Goodbody's services as a Child Legal Representative can be bought. She is corrupt, unprofessional and doesn't give a rat's a.. about the children involved. She will conduct ex parte communications during a legal proceeding (which is illegal) and she will lie during court proceedings, if it suits the party that's paying her. Keep yourself and your children as far away from her as you possibly can.

I was charged with DUI in Feb 2020. I refused breath alcohol tests and chemical test. I did not know back then that refusal would automatically get me 12pts on license, and a DUI charge. This was my first offense.
I talked to Barry and hired him immediately. Barry is a great listener, he documents all that I mentioned, and he has a streamlined system for managing documents/paperwork for each client. I really liked the fact that Barry was available when I called initially and did a free consultation with me before onboarding me as a client.
Due to COVID, my court dates kept moving out again and again. My final date to plead was almost 1 year after the charge. During this time, following Barry's advice, I had completed Level2 classes & counseling, MAD victim panel and had got a recommendation letter from my level2 counselor.
Barry used his soft-skills and negotiated with the DA for a non-alcohol charge. The DA agreed to it and reduced my charge to 8pt reckless driving.
On the final day of sentencing, the judge looked at DA recommendation and accepted it. The judge even waived all fines and fees because I had completed my level2 classes. My level2 counselor mentioned to me that this was an unheard of result. Most 1st time refusals usually get pled down to DWAI charges, but she had never had a case where it got pled down to non-alcohol charge.
I cannot thank Barry enough for this great resolution. This was the scariest experience of my life and I felt Barry gave me good confidence and direction on how to proceed on each step of the way. He asked me to complete the level2 & MAD panels quickly so we can get a good agreement from the DA. And I think Barry has great negotiation skills, that he was able to get the DA to reduce the charges.
If you are in this situation, I highly recommend hiring Barry to represent you. Don't try to deal with this yourself. You need a good lawyer. You need and a lawyer that has a good reputation of negotiating deals with the DA. You need a lawyer who is committed to take your case to trial if need be. You need a lawyer who has a reputation of winning cases for his clients. Barry checks all of these categories and I highly recommend him.
Good luck!

I am extremely grateful to have had Jason as my attorney in handling my case. There are not enough words to describe how professional, knowledgeable, and outstanding Jason is both as an attorney and as a human being. I encountered Jason during a very difficult moment in my life when false accusations were made against me. I never imagined I would face such an experience. From the beginning, Jason offered care, professional advice, and unconditional support.
He is not only an outstanding professional but also an exceptional person with strong moral and ethical values. Jason provided unwavering support and to help me navigate this extremely challenging situation. His commitment to using the truth to defend his clients is remarkable, and with his help, we won my case.
Anyone experiencing false accusations under Title IX or dealing with any other concern within his expertise, I highly recommend Jason. He is not only experienced but also incredibly talented. I believe he is one of the best attorneys you can have, not only in the Colorado area but across the United States. Thank you so much, Jason.

Mark helped me with a criminal case and was able to minimize the negative impacts on my life. It's been two years now and the outcome could have been very different without Mark in my corner. He knows the individuals, the court, and has a realistic perspective on what will happen. If you find yourself in a difficult situation , it's worth it to have him by your side.

We were very, very happy with our decision to hire Mark. We found Mark thru a referral from a close friend. We had never been in a situation where we needed to hire an attorney so the initial process was a bit foreign to us. Mark made us feel very comfortable and helped put us at ease while still being objective and realistic about the potential outcome of our case. Mark worked hard for us, advocated for us, and helped to educate us about the legal process. The outcome of our case was extremely positive. We are incredibly fortunate to have connected with Mark and would highly recommend him to anyone needing legal representation.

I reached out to Keith because he had more reviews and better reviews than any other attorney I saw in Boulder. I’m glad I did! I was a bit overwhelmed but he made the entire process very simple for me and always got back to me quickly whenever I had questions. He’s very experienced but he’s also got a great sense of humor and taste in music. If you want things done well and want to worry as little as possible, I’d highly recommend working with him.
Thanks, Keith!

I've had so many lawyers represent me on a case that has been ongoing since 2013.
The list included some of Colorado's best and most expensive lawyers.
While some performed well, Hillary's level of dedication is unmatched.
Hillary has shown exceptional levels of diligence on my case.
Having worked with so many lawyers prior to meeting Hillary, I've learned to appreciate her excellence.
She genuinely cares about her clients.
In our most recent appearance her extensive research and preparation was obvious to experts, witnesses, myself and most likely the judge and the DA as well.
With faith and a lawyer like Hillary victory is close. I am grateful and glad that I hired her.
She will be your eyes and ears and will put a lot of her heart and soul into your case as she truly wants to see her clients succeed.

This was the first time I ever had need of an attorney. I was referred to “Hillary” by a friend of mine who knew her from law school.
Atty. Aizenman was quick to return my call and after a brief chat we set up an in person meeting. I knew immediately that I was in good hands. I hired Hillary on the spot. She put me at ease with the confident manner in which she presented the ins and outs of court and did her best to calm my anxiety.

A false accusation is terrifying. You might think you can just explain the truth and that's enough, but no, you truly need legal representation right away. Hillary is a top criminal defense attorney. I was grateful to have her on my side through the nightmare. She assertively advocated for my rights. Her experience and expertise proved beneficial at every turn, including her understanding of unique local dynamics that informed the context of my case. She is a true professional. It's hard to describe the relief I felt when Hillary called me and said the charge had been dismissed. Thank you!

I took a chance on hiring Mike Ferrell off the Internet from 1,800 miles away when my son unexpectedly needed a criminal defense attorney in Boulder. We totally lucked out. He was extremely responsive, knowledgeable, ethical, and a calming presence throughout this ordeal. Most important, he delivered the best possible outcome in the case. I give him my highest possible recommendation.

Mr. Ferrell was very responsive, answering any questions I had promptly. Was affordable in comparison to other attorneys and sought the best resolution for me, ultimately getting my case dismissed. I would highly recommend him as he sets reasonable expectations by aiming low and blowing it out of the water. I was very concerned about various factors and he was able to put me at ease. I’m very happy that I hired him to represent me, reaching the best case scenario.

Jonathan Willett represented our son in a juvenile misdemeanor sexual contact case. His expertise, years of experience, and reputation helped tremendously. He is well known and well respected throughout the legal system. Jonathan presented us with several options to resolve the case, and then worked with us and the DA to come to a fair agreement. He and his legal assistant, Dan, make a great team and we would recommend them to any family going through a similar situation.

They took my money, hardly touching my file and ppwk, then demanded more to proceed. Swindled before the case could even begin!! Of all the scandalous attorneys I've ever faced this firm... was the worst of all. Do not use them unless you have a ton of money to throw away.

I was Care's paralegal for years and it was one of the most exciting and valuable learning experiences of my life. Care is a former Boulder County judge and district attorney, and her knowledge of criminal and family law is unmatched. She also brings a warmth and sense of humor to the sometimes difficult job and cases that she works on that gives comfort to clients going through a very hard time. Being involved in a criminal and/or family law case is an extremely difficult experience, and knowing that you have a kind, hard-working attorney who knows the law better than anyone on your side is the best solace.
As her paralegal, I was able to learn by instruction and observation (and osmosis!) the rules and regulations governing our legal system and gained great respect for those working at all levels of the agencies involved. I felt prepared for a diversity of career options after working for Care and enjoyed working for her on a personal level as well. Care is the best!

I cannot even put into words how impressed, grateful and appreciative I am of Care and Jake at The Law Office of Care Enichen. I found myself in an unusual situation with the law. Never having any type of altercation with the justice system or law enforcement myself, I was at a loss, confused and worried. I found Care on Google and was so impressed with her extensive experience and knowledge with Boulder County laws and court proceedings. Her knowledge stems from a prosecuting attorney to a judge for Boulder County and now as a criminal defense attorney. What I was not expecting, was to meet two people who are generally concerned for your well-being. In Care and Jake, I found not only two people so competent in navigating the justice system but also two people who only had the very best intentions on my part. They concluded my case quickly and efficiently within a very reasonable cost and I am so pleased with the result. Thank you Care and Jake! I am forever in your debt.

I came to Care with a legal issue and some confusion about my standing in the law. I consulted a couple other attorneys, over a couple years as I approached this life event. These consultations never cleared up, for me, where I stood in the law. In short order, Care assured me that where I stood was on firm legal footing and that my issue would be resolved.
Working with Care was a pleasure. As she got to know me and my case, thoroughly, I was assured that she understood details of where I had been over many years. She also worked hard on getting resolution against quite difficult opposing attorneys.
My issue was solved to my complete satisfaction.
I recommend Care Enichen wholeheartedly and with no reservation.

I had a mountain of cases that were brought against me by a ex-girlfriend who was trying her most desperate attempt to ruin my life. I initially hired Mr Moorhead for a case in Boulder and then ended up hiring him for three more cases In Jefferson county and I'm really glad I did. He honestly got me The most favorable outcomes in all of the cases that I hired him for that I could have asked for. The bottom line of this review is this: If you are in the market for an attorney because of pending litigation against you you need an attorney like David Moorhead on your side. Because otherwise you're just taking chances with your freedom and finances.

I first met Zach Friedman years ago when I worked with his boss at a marketing firm, where he was general counsel. When he left to start his own legal practice, I followed him. He represented me in three actions (two for business, and one personally). In each matter he devoted himself to understanding the facts and the feelings of the matters. He got me satisfactory results for all three, and did not pad his bill, waste time, or worsen the situation beyond it's already troubled circumstances. This is why I heartily recommend Zachary Friedman as a superior attorney.

I recently got a speeding ticket and had Mr. Friedman represent me in court. I thought the ticket was unfair and Mr. Friedman traveled 2 hours to appear in Court on my behalf, argued my case and reduced my points from 6 to 3 and my fine from $250 to $100. All it took was one phone call to Mr. Friedman, a scan of my ticket, and he took care of the rest. Fantastic work.

I needed some advice on a personal real estate issue and called Mr Friedman after seeing his ad. He not only gave me advice in a timely fashion but was very responsive to my many questions. Here is the real surprise: Mr Friedman stated he would be willing to continue to provide legal advice but thought I could get the same legal services at a cheaper rate utilizing a licensed Realtor. Mr Friedman was not only very professional but very aware of my legal and fiscal concerns. I would recommend him most highly. Larry

Paul Stuber was an excellent attorney concerning my case.
I was charged with a Felony DUI. I could of been sent to DOC for two to six years.
Paul took a personal interest in my case, He worked diligently to get my charges reduced to work release and probation. He even worked it out to where everything was transferred to my home county.
I would highly recommend having Paul Stuber represent you in your case. Without him I feel I would be in prison right now.
He even contacted me on his own time after everything was over to make sure I was doing OK.

Jennifer Watkins worked to get me the best possible outcome for a DUI charge. After a rough night, I felt ashamed and embarrassed. Ms. Watkins was one of the first lawyers I spoke with and right away she made me feel relieved. During our first call she could tell I was extremely stressed, her calm demeanor put me at ease. She told me, she was willing to help whether I hired her or not. I had not experienced that type compassion from any of the other lawyers I had met with.
I knew I was facing a challenging situation; however she helped me understand all the possible outcomes. She was very responsive to all my questions whether by phone or email. She helped me navigate through the entire process from the DMV hearing to the court case. She is well versed in the Boulder County courts; she knows several of the Judges and their tendencies. She has experience with the District Attorney’s as well.
I am very thankful and grateful I worked with her on my case. I highly recommend her legal services.

I was referred to Mr. Jurdem and his firm with the tagline, "I'd trust him with my life, and my families' lives" as a criminal defense attorney.
I had been accused of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, harassment, stalking, obstruction of telephone, etc., over 3 felonies. NONE of which I was guilty of, in fact, there was absolutely NO VIOLENCE (not a phone call, not a text, not an email) HOW COULD I BE CHARGED? If convicted or "cut a deal" to end the nightmare of lengthy court proceedings, I would NEVER be able to continue my career path in Medicine. It would obvious I needed the most meticulous trial attorney in Boulder/Denver. Upon our first meeting, it became evident why another attorney would refer me to this Law Firm. From day one, Mr. Jurdem was kind and observably brilliant with impeccable attention to detail. During the course of the status conferences and court proceedings leading up to trial, I accumulated 3 more charges which carried a MANDATORY prison sentence of up to 10 years if convicted. My case was like no other. When we would communicate, sometimes multiple times a week, and meet to discuss specific details that were crucial to the case, Mr. Jurdem was always such a pleasure, even given my life circumstances. I was offered a few plea bargains and continued to stand my ground as NOT GUILTY. Mr. Jurdem supported my EVERY decision throughout this case. Going to trial was one of the scariest moments of my life..yet somehow even though I was an emotional wreck, I was confident in Mr. Jurdem's intensity and tenacity in the courtroom. It was evident he is respected very highly throughout the entire judicial system. I was amazed how quickly he would communicate via email, sometimes I would see a time stamp at incredibly early hours. I don't believe another attorney could have worked as hard as Mr. Jurdem and his associates. After Mr. Jurdem got my SECOND CASE DISMISSED in a preliminary hearing, which is extremely rare given the seriousness of the charges, the DA moved to appeal the Judge's decision, it was granted and we were back to the emotional nightmare of going to trial. A month before my second trial, Mr. Jurdem received notification that the DA moved to DISMISS ALL CHARGES. Now, thanks to Mr. Jurdem's evident knowledge and mastered skills in the judicial system, I am able to live and pursue the life I was meant to.

I contacted Bob after sustaining an injury on private property. Not having a prior need for legal representation I did a web search and chose three names. My plan was to use the advertised free consultation with each and then choose. My first meeting was with Bob and a second was not needed. Every meeting was friendly and informative. As a result of that friendly demeanor Bob was able to achieve a great settlement for me.

Bob Miller is a very accessible and helpful lawyer. I found myself talking to him directly the first time I called. He will follow up when he says he is available and he returns all calls. His down to earth counsel and quiet demeanor allowed me to focus and make an excellent decision in my case. At the same time he makes sure that he offers all options and because of his experience he knows his profession well.
I immediately felt I could trust and respect this person. He was helping me figure out what to do in my situation. My experience with Mr. Miller is that I feel that his advice and counsel is ethically sound. As with anything it is important to find the attorney that works well with you. Mr. Miller understood my case and he was clear about my choices. It was necessary for me as a client to understand that I had options in taking on something as stressful as a lawsuit.
I had no experience with any lawyers in Boulder, Colorado and it was very useful to see Mr. Millers AVVO rating.
I highly recommend him from the professional help and generous advice he gave to me.

The legal system is a daunting and truly scary realm for most, but for those of us that live a law abiding life - ignorance can be detrimental when you find yourself a victim of false allegations. John is more than a lawyer, he is a counselor of the law, who focuses on the individual client and expects that you (the expert in your own life) take charge of your case with his guidance and thus fight alongside him and not just hide behind him. From the initial meeting, John showed me professionalism, respect and ethical behavior. These standards were prevalent throughout the handling of my case.
Dedication is a very powerful word, but cannot truly describe John's targeted focus and tenacity. While I had never dealt with a lawyer before, I did call many who instead of offering their support via guidance of the law, belittled and terrified me. John was real, and from the beginning set high, but tangible expectations of what it takes to win or prove a case. He dedicated his life to me during the every step of the preparation of my case. He spent over 10 hours of his day with me prior to trial and was prepared for whatever came our way.
I would highly recommend John to anyone seeking help in the most important decisions of your life. Do not place your trust or invest your money on just anyone, call him and get his guidance, you'll know right away that you can feel confident with him as an experienced attorney. His trial assistant Megan is a superb asset to his firm and like John fully involves herself in every case, at least this was true of mine. John is a high caliber attorney with true emotions and treats you like a real human...did I mention he won my case!

I met with several attorneys prior to selecting John Pineau. John was by far the most understanding, straight forward and non-judgmental of them all. My case was very uncommon and a difficult one to take on. John was with me every step of the process and we worked for over three years on my case! The way John prepares for each hearing is absolutely incredible, he leaves no angle unthought-of. I felt confident at every hearing knowing that we were always 10 steps ahead of the prosecutor. He is the most determined, intelligent, hardworking and logical person I have ever met. He WILL do everything he can to help you.
I understand the nightmare you are more than likely facing right now. I want you to know you don’t have to take this all on alone. John will help give you the confidence and determination to stand up and fight for what is right. I can honestly say that John and his team genuinely cared about me, gave me hope when I thought all hope was lost and in the end, we achieved our goal of saving my life.
What else can you ask for? Don’t waste your time and money on anyone else!
My heart goes out to all who have been wrongfully accused and have become victims of our judicial system. Please, allow John to help you fight back!

John Pineau is one of the best advocates for a client I have experienced in my legal career. There is no case too simple or none too complex for his representation. John does his homework and approaches every stage of the proceedings prepared and ready to do battle for his client.
His experience ranges from first degree murder cases to sex assault cases. He is one of the best I have seen when it comes to defending persons accused of any type sex offense. He is non-judgemental and will work every case with the effective representation every person accused deserves. When you choose John Pineau you have an advocate who gets to know you, cares about you and will go to bat for you. I have worked with some of the best and John Pineau ranks up there with all of them.
With John K. Pineau you get your moneys worth and then some!!

I am an activist for the poorest, least represented people in society and I have known Nancy since she was a public defender. She is a brilliant tactical attorney at trial and she is very well received when it comes to negotiating positive outcomes with district Attorneys. Nancy has a compassion and empathy that really tunes her in to the clients personality and she very quickly grasps the critical dynamics of relationships and circumstances of a case and she sorts out the truth and presents it to the court in persuasive terms. not everyone is innocent, and Nancy is very compassionate and she negotiates outcomes that are fair and positive for the client and the court. Nancy keeps people out of jail and minimizes their time in the system and the system can be very unfair without Nancy to guide you through it. She has also gone to bat for people on probation to be allowed to use medical marijuana with a prescription, particularly people with HIV who only get relief from marijuana use and nothing else. It took a lot of guts for her to advocate for changes to probation in Boulder County to allow people with medical conditions to use medical marijuana, it was a very edgy subject at the time. Nancy has worked on important cases and important issues without regard for her personal compensation many many times. I recently learned when I sent her a new client that she is finally a partner in a firm and I want to say it is about time Nancy got PAID! I have extensive experience with very tough people in the justice system in Colorado, I know the group of top attorneys in Colorado very well, and Nancy is absolutely the best. If you are in trouble, she is your savior, I've seen her work her magic for everyone I have ever sent to her and there have been many. Thanks for everything you do Nancy. Peace

I have hired Nancy on two different occasions and couldn't be more happy with the job she did. Both times she was very helpful, reassuring , professional, and a fighter when it comes to making a deal with the DA. One of my cases was totally thrown out and the other was dramatically reduced. All in all I would hire Nancy next time and ever time very happy with her services.

I interviewed 4 attorneys to handle my case. The first 3 attorneys spent 15-20 minutes with me on the phone explaining what I was facing and how they would defend me; each then invited me to their office for a 30 minute meeting, presumably at which point they would ask for my signature for their representation.
Nancy spent an hour with me on the phone without any charge or expectation that she would represent me. She explained every detail of what I was facing and what was the most likely successful outcome. She was far more detailed than the others. She allowed me to ask a lot of questions. And when we were done with the phone consultation, she said, "I know you're talking with other attorneys. If you want to proceed with me, let me know." Choosing Nancy was easy because she gave me her best without expecting anything in return.
As Nancy represented me throughout the process, I got the same treatment. She communicates in a very timely manner. She understands how to navigate the system to her clients' benefit. Knowing that a court-ordered treatment program would be part of the judge's decision, she got me going in that early. She took a personal interest in my family situation. Everything played out as she said it would, and I received the best outcome that was possible given the situation.
I am very thankful that I found Nancy to represent me in this unwanted situation. I would recommend her to anyone facing similar.

I had an extremely high conflict divorce. During the nearly year long nightmare, Barre went above and beyond in handling my case. While my ex was largely able to isolate my young children from me for the entire divorce, in the end my young children got a better parenting plan than was recommended by the PRE and it will ramp up to 50/50. I only wish my ex had hired a competent lawyer, as her lawyer made things far worse than just the malicious behavior of my ex did.

I have a very high-conflict post-divorce situation involving my vulnerable children. My family and I call Barre, "our Super hero." Barre is a human being first with a heart of gold for children and families. As I was a wreck, Barre "cut to the chase" and helped me navigate a very emotionally difficult situation. My daughter was on death's door. By listening to Barre, we won EVERYTHING in court. My daughter is alive and thriving. Unbelievable to me given the fire power of my ex and his willingness to lie and use my kids as pawns. I would not want to play against Barre in a game of chess, but having him on my team was life saving. I am forever grateful to Barre and his partner, Amy for giving me my daughter her life back, my sanity back and renewed sense that no matter what, LOVE and TRUTH (with Barre as my attorney) will win!!

I have worked with several different attorneys over the last 10 years dealing with parenting and post-divorce issues. Barre has been the best by far. He is level-headed, strategic, informative and a good communicator. He will tell you like it is in his experience, give you options, solid advice and is aggressive when necessary. It is also clear that he does not need to "pad my bill" by trying to stir up unnecessary billable hours. He has advised me on best, and least-expensive options. I highly recommend him.

Mark Johnson represented me in a very serious criminal case with the potential for me to receive a sentence of 10-30 years in prison. I am happily enjoying my freedom as I finish my probation. Mr. Johnson charges fairly and genuinely cares about his clients. He continued to assist me and my civil attorneys even after the criminal case-at no cost to me. I highly recommend him to represent you. Contact him to see to see if he can help in your situation

Mark Johnson is not only an excellent attorney he is also a good man. He educated me thru the entire process from receiving a federal grand jury subpoena all the way to trial. We dug in and fought the government all the way and let me tell you it was not easy. When faced with a situation like this you and your attorney need to be able to focus and stay focused. Mark got to know our case inside and out. When we finally got to trial he was well prepared and had me as prepared as possible to sit as a defendant in the federal court system. He not only allowed but encouraged me to participate in the defense of my case. When I had a thought or suggestion he listened as though I was a 30 year veteran in criminal defense. After 30 months of brutal hell my life returned to normal with a not guilty verdict. I can tell you this, I hope I never have to experience any thing like this again, but should myself or any of my loved ones need a top shelf criminal defense attorney I know who I will call. When you absolutely positively have to win, call Mark Johnson.

I remember Howard Bittman defending me on a few occasions some years back. (20+ plus years ago)I was charged with 8 felonies. Yes, 8 felonies all at the same time. This man saved my life. He was able to get 6 of the felony charges dismissed. I did 60 days home detention and payed some restitution for my last 2 . My friends have used him over the years with awesome results. I thank him for being there when I needed him most. He is the best attorney in Boulder County by far!

Pete is a kind spirited and compassionate attorney. Throughout my case, Pete was always reassuring me and was professional about every interaction. He was optimistic about my case, but was also grounded in realism. He always made sure to incorporate my input with every decision we made and always kept me in the loop. Pete would take the time to explain every step of my case and would educate me on the process as a whole. I would recommend Pete to anyone seeking high quality legal representation!

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.
