Thank Ms Zhang for her kind and professional support through our H1B petition filing process! She can provide the most accurate legal answers to our problems, and she priced fairly for a small startup company like my supervisor's. Her work with the petition is well-done and very proficient, and she always keeps my best interest at heart when I am struggling with the choices. All in all, I wish her law firm the best and hope to work with her again!

Stay away from this law firm. Their m.o. has not changed in years. Someone posted five years ago how Mr. Goldberg gave them the run around. He does the same to me and I am his client! He never returns my phone calls or my emails. I called the office recently and left a message for his partner and nothing. They don't value their clients. Go elsewhere. Had I known what I know now, I would have gone to a different law firm.

I was facing a landlord/tenant issue where my landlord was trying to evict me for an issue that was of no fault of my own. I contacted a good friend of mine, who highly recommended Alex Dudelson. Upon contacting Alex Dudelson regarding my issue, I was highly impressed with his compassion, and professionalism and knowledge of the law. I knew after meeting Alex and one of his attorney's Yehuda Farkas that I was in good hands. They showed me every step of the way that they were going to fight for what's right. I can not express, how thankful I am for everything they did for my case. I highly recommend them.

I'm a lawyer in NYC. I was arrested for misdemeanors and felonies. As a lawyer, I knew what to look for in a criminal defense lawyer--experience. I did not know Mr. Hochberg before retaining him, but am glad to know him now. With his experience, he was able to settle my criminal case quickly and very favorably. The only regret I have is that I did not retain him sooner, as he probably could have obtained an ever better result. I would recommend Mr. Hochberg to anyone. For criminal matters, you want your case handled properly. Mr. Hochberg will give you that peace of mind and more.

I was arrested and charged with 6 felonies and 9 misdemeanors. After i contacted mr. Hochberg he came immediately, we saw the judge and i was set free with no bail. I had an open immigration case so the felony charges were enough to get me deported. This man other than great lawyer is a great person. He treated me like family without even knowing me. I was comfortable to call him anytime and i was stress free going to court. Within 6 months every charge was dismissed. THANK YOU AGAIN Mr. Hochberg

Earlier this year I fell on hard time in terms of debt, I was trying to pay it off and refused to give up. Unfortunately due to personal issues I started to accrue more debt that I could not longer handle. My friend recommended Michael for a consultation and to look at my options. I was scared because I always had a good credit score now I was way over my head and my credit started to drop. I finally called Michael for a consultation, speaking briefly to him I did retain for Chap 9 Bankruptcy. I was overwhelmed with questions on top of questions where I did not know how to start. Only response I got from Michael was, it's ok I got you covered, I will send you some stuff and we will go step by step from there. Everything else was a breeze, If I ever had questions Michael would answer almost immediately, if he did not answer me, he would call me back or text me answering any question that I had for him in a timely fashion. My overall experience was great, I was guided to help my case go smoothly and most importantly I was put at ease.

I know Norm from the gym we train at together, and he's a vivacious, tough as nails sparring partner. I imagine he must be the same way in his work. I called him one time to ask for legal advice regarding another friend. The advice was outside of his normal field (employment and contact stuff), so he said give me a little while. A few hours later he called me with a ton of information that helped immensely. I was shocked, since previous legal aid whose expertise was contact law didn't provide some of the information norm gave me in a few hours. 10/10 I would recommend him to anybody for anything.

Words can't describe how happy I am that I used Mr. Perskin. I was in a pretty gnarly situation (to say the least) and from the moment we met, he showed immense confidence, listened to me, and fought super SUPER hard for me. It was a relief and gave me so much satisfaction to see how much he got my back (which i didn't have previously). His communication was A+ and in the end I was able to avoid a trial because of him. He kept me honest, managed my expectations, and also i really loved working with his son Jared, that dude is GOING PLACES! I will recommend Brian to everyone and also has an awesome book! thank you thank you!!

I was planning my vacations in Europe, when i realized that my daughter's passport expired. Her father was not available to sign consent or for any other contact and the only way to go for me was to file for sole custody. We live in NY, so courts are extremely busy, and it seemed at some point that nothing could be done to speed the process up. Ms. Feldman demonstrated resourcefulness and great knowledge of the system, which resulted in favorable outcomes in less than two months after petition was filed.

I was looking for a lawyer to help me with the sale of my first house. I did know where to go so I did an internet search and found Mr. Miller's web site. It was really informative, so I gave him a call. Mr. Miller was terrific and since that time he has been my whole family's attorney. When my wife was injured in a car accident, thank God he was there to help us; when my aunt died he got us through probate; when my son got divorced his firm made sure that things were settled in a fair and reasonable manner. In short, if you are looking for a true family law firm in the heart of Brooklyn, New York, you can ask for none better.

I was recommended to Mr. Miller by a friend when I had some trouble with the police a while back. The police had grabbed me off the street and arrested me for a crime I did not commit - and when I asked to speak to a lawyer - they beat me up so badly that I wound up in the hospital for two weeks. I cannot recommend anyone more highly than Mr. Miller as a top flight criminal and civil attorney. Not only did he prove my innocence, now we are negotiating a substantial civil settlement with the city for the injuries caused by the police. This is why I call Andrew Miller Brooklyn's Best.

Charles is an excellent lawyer. He did a great job for me. He was knowledgeable, explained the process to me, but was most important to me is that he kept posted and updated on the case. When Charles walks in the courtroom, he lights up the whole place. It's like everyone knows him and one person after another was coming over to greet him. I think he charged me a fair price and I was very satisfied with my result. Once you meet him, you will see what I'm talking about.

I hired Charles 4 months ago for a criminal matter I had in Brooklyn, (fight with my ex-worker). He was professional and courteous. He answered all my questions and explained to me what the process was about, and what I should expect and what was going to happen next. Charles has a warm personality and a good heart. He is very bright and I saw when he walked into court everyone respected him. What I liked best about him is that he returned my calls promptly, as soon as he was out of court. The case will be dismissed in six months, (ACD) as long as I pay the 135.00 medical bill and stay away from the ex-worker for 6 months as well. I was very satisfied that the case will be dismissed and I will have no criminal record. We went to court two times. I’m taking the time to write this because Charles is a great lawyer and I want him to have a lot of business. You will not be sorry if you hire him. He is aggressive, in a respectful way. Thank you.

This case was from 2000 Real Estatate transaction and my original lawyer quit because I couldn't afford to maintain him. I spent thousands with no relief before meeting Mr Belgrave. I was in default in 2015 for not having a lawyer to respond. I was not sleeping at night. Mr Belgrave made me feel for the first time in 15 years that someone had my interest in mind. He won my case and had the default judgement overturned. I can finally sleep at night. Thank You Again!

I am writing to tell about my recent dealings with Attorney F. Richard Hurley. I called Mr. Hurley immediately upon getting legal papers. I was served with legal papers from my greedy landlord who sought to evict me using bogus legal papers. Mr. Hurley immediate returned my call and gave me a prompt appointment. In addressing my matter, Mr. Hurley combined his legal background as a tough prosecutor in the Queens County District Attorney's Office and a tenious civil legal affairs specialist in private practice for many years to slam away my landlord's efforts. Case closed. I would seek Hurley again in the future and do urge everyone to contact him if you have any type of legal problem. I have grateful for Mr. Hurley's work.

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:

- 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.

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.
