Я долго искал хорошего адвоката и как мы все знаем очень трудно найти именно тех профессионалов своего дела. Благодаря Ксении я выиграл свой кейс и именно благодаря ее подходу к работе все получилось именно так как мы и хотели. Хотелось бы еще отметить что мой процесс проходил в республиканском штате и не смотря на это мы выиграли это дело! Она очень грамотно преподнесла пакет документов что тоже играет немаловажную роль. Я всем рекомендую обращаться к услугам Ксении. I had been searching for a skilled lawyer for a long time, and I'm thrilled to say that Ksenia exceeded my expectations. Her exceptional approach and expertise led to a successful outcome in my case, which was particularly impressive given the challenging circumstances of being in a republican state. Ksenia's ability to effectively present the documents was instrumental in our victory. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a top-notch lawyer. Thank you, Ksenia, for your outstanding work!

As a businessman, I am used to fighting my own fights. As a former professional athlete, I understand that some were better than me. Playing professionally, made me realize that I am a Professional in my sport and now in industry and not in other sports or LAW. When my time dealing with the law came, I committed to finding the best representation I could find. I used 3 factors. First, did this attorney specialize, specifically, in what I need? Second, did I think this attorney could do the work needed? Finally, did I like this person and get along with them? With Joe Mure, those answers are a resounding YES. Joe is the best of the best, who represents the best. He represents people that are hard working, no nonsense, get the job done or get out of the way kind of people. In my business, I am a fighter. I stand up for people and seek to always do the right thing. When I found myself outmatched, caught off guard, I felt TKO’d. I became very aware, very quickly, I needed help and in a big way, NOT TO MENTION….I NEEDED IT ASAP!! The first thing Joe says to me, “well, looks like we got to attack then!”. He said it plain as day and with a confidence that snapped me back from feeling like I got hit by a bus. Right then and there, I looked at Joe, with chills through my body, and knew I had a voice. I had someone who would speak for me when I couldn’t. Someone who would play the game that I don’t know the rules to like I would, if I did. Joe, standing well above 6’0 with a charming smile and down to earth nature to him, immediately makes you feel comfortable, yet commands the attention in the room. I was so impressed by Joe and I am so thankful that Joe was on my team. There are very few people I trust, Joe is one of them. He’s dressed meticulously, in great shape, on time and amazingly present when talking to him. Joe is captivating. His mind plays this game at a level that I have not seen the like of ever before or after my time with Joe. Joe is a MASTER! He is the professional’s professional. When I needed a 5 STAR ATTORNEY to PROTECT My INTERESTS, JOE MURE IS MY ONLY CHOICE, EVER. Being a businessman, it is hard to give up control, with Joe, you just hand it over to him. He genuinely cares

Izzy helped me (and my family) through a very difficult time in my life. I was looking at possible jail but Izzy saved us. He was always honest about what to expect in court or from the prosecutor, even when I did not want to hear it. In hindsight Izzy had a plan and stuck to it and won my case. He was not the cheapest but true to his word he was always available to speak with us even at night and on weekends. I am forever thankful to him.

I used Marcel Sager and his team to handle the closing of my house sale in Flatlands Brooklyn. He is a profession tenured lawyer who made this cumbersome process painless. He accommodated several changes I made without nickel and diming me on fees and I appreciated his flexibility and outstanding support. His team of paralegals were excellent as well. I strongly recommend Marcel Sager!!

I'm new to the New York real estate market and came across Mr. Sager's office as I previously lived around the block. Mr. Sager represented me in the purchase of a Condo earlier this year. Communication was always clear and direct, Mr. Sager was always attentive to my repeated e-mails with questions along the way. He helped us navigate an otherwise complicated process, and I'd highly recommend him for any real estate transaction that you're doing.

Well it took me 6 months today to be EXACT, after Ms. Bellina's gave me my life back thru the powers of God and her excellent expertise & experience of course its remarkable she reminds me of the higher being. World! whatever you believe in believe in Ms. Bellina's as your attorney for all your legal matters in all areas and expertise of her firm. its like since that day of dismissed and seal announcement by the judge. It seems as if I am now realizing that I am well breathing and alive again things has been better greater as to what Ms.Bellina's always assured me in a very calm manor every step of the way, a breath of fresh air. I felt as if I was in a ocean and I cannot swim and I am the smallest fish there Ms. Bellina's assures me that I am going to be okay watch, wait & see I have experience in the court especially these subject matters be patient she always told me that and Anthony I know the feeling that you are anxious to see the outcome and put this behind you and move on with your life with your family but just be patient. Sometimes, I get so anxious at times it feels as if am off my meds haha and Ms. Bellina's always calm me down in such a calm demeanor. I would recommend Ms. Bellina's even to my worst enemies that is how great Ms. Bellina's is she would never let her clients down, she always fight for the best outcome for her client's and of course that comes with time spent in the court on almost all matters and proceedings. Ms Bellina's and her firm is worth every dollar down to the pennies they charge at the firm you are not paying for a product here, life is no gamble you are paying for an experience and a positive outcome to the best outcome and alternatives. Sometimes I felt as if I cannot breath Ms. Bellina's assures me that I will breath again and see now I am breathing again. ON this website on Ms. Bellina's profile it states TOP 100 NATIONAL TRIAL lawyer for me SHE IS THE TOP 1 as in #1 trail and defense lawyer world wide, her track records its next to impossible all wins THANK YOU Ms. Bellina's you saved my LIFE I could not imagine life at any other outcome . Sighsssss, now every since its just peace, gratefulness gratitude, try to help everyone because you helped me with your experience, you and God gave me another shot at life and I am definitely taking it. Thank you again, I cannot wait to give you more great new in the positive of-course I go back to head quarters soon within a week or so. Destiny would have life no other way so I give thanks and praises. PEOPLE SHE IS YOUR BEST BET & YOUR BEST PICK TO DEFEND YOU IN A LEGAL MATTERS SHE HAS EXPERTISE IN SHE OR HER FIRM DO NOT SCREW YOUR LIFE UP BY CHOOSING ANY OTHER COUNSEL YOU WILL REGRET IT IN THE LONG RUN. THEN YOU WOULD REALIZE THAT ANY OTHER CHOICE BUT Ms. Bellina's or her firm is very short live at that point it will be too late. REMEMBER LIFE HAS NO DO OVERS AND YESTERDAY IS ALREADY GONE. ON THE BEHALF OF THE PATTERSON FAMILY WE ADORE AND THANK YOU Ms. Bellina's this review well earn and deserving for you and your firm the GREATEST BEST THERE IS.

They weren't just lawyers; they cared, understood, and fought hard for our victory. Their unwavering dedication, positivity, and professionalism were commendable. Highly recommended; they get the job done, no matter the time or effort. Family-oriented and kind, I can't thank them enough for winning our case. I'd choose them again in a heartbeat. Despite a tough lawsuit, they made it comfortable and remained extremely supportive throughout. Gratitude knows no bounds!

I received terrible service to day from the intake for a malpractice suit I’m currently trying to obtain. I explain my issues why I was suing and she immediately started cutting me off saying this suit isn’t valid without fully hearing me out. I’ve been explained I am not looking for a pro bono attorney and explain to her that I home, three companies and I will be paying out-of-pocket for my representation if I have a case she then proceeded to cut me off again rudely then I asked, is there anyone else I can speak to in your office she said no then I asked her do you have a degree in law she said no so then I said, I think you’re not understanding my case, and she cut me off again being a owner of multiple companies I do understand customer service index reports mean to a company. I am a very fair person, but I would like to at least explain my case before I get shut down by someone who is not even a lawyer and no consumer deserves the rudeness that I had to have today it was quite embarrassing, and I would not do business with this phone ever!

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 hired Rob Gershon prior to hiring Michael Mueller . He had my case from October of 2022 until August of 2023. A total of 10 months. Initially prior to highering him I filed my own custody visitation child support paper work with the courts and uploaded my documents into the Edds and wrote my own acs appeal letter. Rob did make several court appearance and file motions and petitions after I hired him however , I was not pleased with his performance because the case was not progressing. I reported him to the bat association as well however he charged $4,500 and in his invoice he did do more work and he refunded me $700 for the work that I did and that he did not do. Therefore, he was fair because he refunded me what was owed to me with Michael Mueller I have to go to the bar to dispute my refund for him robbing me and charging me 10,000 unnecessarily when majority of the work was already completed by Rob and myself . So I will say Rob is fair but I wasn’t pleased with either of them now I am seeking a 3 rd attorney .

First of all I must say that God had bless myself and my mother with meeting Mr Robert Gershon. He is hardworking patience, very easy to talk to. He always took time to explain everything to myself and my mother. He was never at anytime aggressive compare to other lawyers that I have heard about. Mr Gershon is a sweetheart. He is one in a million. No one recommended him to be. Oh yes someone did, that's God The Almighty. I was looking for a good divorce lawyer for my mom so I decided to pray and go through the internet. I contacted a few Attorneys. After praying on it I was directed to Mr Gershon by God. After meeting with him I told my mother we will stay with Mr Gershon and that was the best decision I made for my mom. He was always on time in court. He always came prepared with his paperwork and I must say always dressed fresh and professional. My mom always said what a handsome man he is. (Had to put that in) He never pushed for his payment. He is one in a million. I always had faith in him. In the beginning my mom commented that he was too young, but when she saw what he had to put out she was convinced that he was the right choice. My mom case was very lengthy and even though I know he felt a little tired he never showed it. He is a decent man. His parents raised him well. So easy to talk to. I will recommend him highly to everyone. He is very sympathetic. He is.a friend. He treats you as though you are his family. Thank you Mr Gershon. God bless you and your family.

Words cannot express the amount of gratitude, appreciation, and ultimately indebtedness our family has and feels for Mr Robert. I have been in a heated custody nightmare for over a decade, and our last experience with a local lawyer was an utter joke. I was referred to Mr Robert office by two relatives of mine when circumstances once again turned negative, and he and his staff were both amicable, and VERY knowledgeable. From speaking to him during the initial consultation I saw more passion, empathy, strategy and experience then I saw in my previous lawyer during the whole time he represented our family. I knew immediately that he was the one to represent myself , my son, and ultimately our entire family as this has been a nightmare for everyone. Having had such a horrible prior experience, I was hesitant, emotional, and to be honest so exhausted from the years of negativity my son and I as well as our family had endured. Mr Deller took his time and asked questions, and kept me calm throughout the entire process, he broke down the case and our situation, and he and his staff followed up in a timely manner to ensure I had the latest information. They took my hundreds of pages of ten years of reports and documents, and turned it into an amazing stipulation that had my son and my best interest front and center. Mr Robert was nothing but honest and forthright and it was much appreciated, I was left with no false hopes or expectations. My only regret is that I did not hire Mr Robert Gershon sooner, we all will be forever in his debt, and forever humbled by his service! He is our Hero! Thank you a million times over!

I hired Melanie in 2010 to defend a simple speeding ticket. I had no other offenses, and no points on my license. Melanie's efforts yielded no reduction in points, nor any reduction in fees. EXACTLY the same result I would have achieved if I had kept the $1,000 I wasted on Melanie's fee & pleaded guilty. I have no idea what she did to inspire the judge to be so unyielding, and Melanie refused to give me any account of the trial. There are no guarantees in court, but she behaved in what I consider to be a highly unprofessional manner afterwards, refusing to talk to me and denying that she was a recent grad with little experience. I regret hiring her, and hopefully she has learned her craft better by now, but I'd advise against hiring her for anything important.

Howard is such an excellent and very experienced attorney who is great at what he does - defend your rights. One of the best that I've ever had to retain. When I first reached out to Howard to discussed the matter, it was quickly clear to me that he is very knowledgeable about the laws and discussed a strategic plan of action for me. I could sense he was a great fit for me and would do his best to help resolve the matter. He was always available to answer my calls, both day and night and even weekends. He was always helpful with answer any questions I had, with clearing any confusion and really helped to just calm my fears. He did not bill and nickel &dime me for every minute of his time spent like most other attorney's/firms do. He allowed me to shadow him in a criminal case he was Counsel to and I learned so much from him. In Howard fashion, he knew how to navigate the court/justice system to get the matter resolved as soon as he possibly could. I highly recommend Howard to anyone looking for an experienced and straight forward attorney who will get you results!

I would like to say that Mr. Howard Greenberg is one of the most compassionate and understanding attorney I have ever dealt with. He is very thorough straight to the point, and worth every cent. My son got arrested, and Mr. Greenberg came through so fast and explained the process step-by-step. I would recommend him to anyone that needs a great criminal attorney!

Mr Greenberg while representing my son on serious charges and cross examining witnesses was outstanding! Everyday leaving that courtroom we felt very satisfied with his ability to pick out the inconsistencies in testimonies given as well as his ability to challenge prosecutors. Hiring him was the best decision we made.

Lance Lazzaro is a great lawyer. He got my case dismissed, I would highly recommend him. He was attentive to my case, professional, and truly the best at what he does. Without the help of the entire Lazzaro Law firm, I know that I would not have had the successful outcomes I have had. Lance took on an extremely difficult case and encountered issues that no one expected and few had ever seen. He worked tirelessly to make sure that the truth was told and presented it perfectly. He has stood by every one of my requests and guided me through the entire lengthy process. His thorough research provided us the pathway we needed to rise to victory. I will only recommend Lance as I have never been nor have I ever seen anyone treated better. I am proud to be a Lazzaro Law client and will continue to retain them for all legal matters that may arise as I know I am in the best hands.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
