This lawyer made the process extremely easy by being flexible with coordinating meeting times. We were also able to communicate via text and email. The attorney built trust with us and we valued the advice given which solved the case. Overall we were very happy with the hiring and would gladly hire again.

Megan was the attorney on a difficult case involving my son. She was very thorough in researching the case and getting to know everyone involved. She also took the time to explain everything we needed to know and answered thousands of questions. I still wish we hadn't been in that situation, but since we were, I'm glad we had Megan to help us through.

A year ago, I got myself into a situation and I was up against some serious charges. It was my first offense so needless to say, I was very nervous of the outcome. Megan successfully got me dismissed of all charges. She was extremely committed to building a good defense for my case. She kept in constant communication with me and guided me through the entire process. Not only was she knowledgeable and competent in her work, she was also very professional and confident. Megan is an outstanding attorney who is dedicated in helping her clients. She exceeded my expectation and I would highly recommend her.

Words cannot describe how happy I am that I chose Greg to represent me. I started out with a potential commercial burglary case after making some bad decisions at a Home Depot in San Diego. I spoke with a bunch of attorneys after the incident. Each one of them painted a grim picture of what the outcome would be. I was devastated. The anxiety and fear that I felt was overwhelming. I decided to contact Greg after reading some of his reviews. He was the only attorney who gave me assurance that everything was going to be ok as long as I followed his advice. To be honest, no one gave me a clear plan of action during the initial consultation like Mr. Turner did. I could tell he was confident of the outcome and that he was going to work hard to make sure my professional license and career were not in jeopardy. Greg worked out a deal to get my charges reduced to an infraction, like a mere parking citation! I finally feel a sense of relief and renewal and can move on with my life and career without a negative mark on my background check. I highly recommend Greg Turner to anyone facing criminal charges.

My wife and I were charged with a crime for non-permitted rental real estate. The non-permitted portion of the home was built between 1969 and 1978. The city made us either tear down 1/4 of the house or bring it up to code. Though Greg is not a real-estate specialist but, he has all the right connections. He advised us how to get through the legal battle by bringing the house up to code. And, while re-construction proceeded, he kept on top of all legal matters with the city. In the end, the city settled the matter much to our satisfaction. And, he didn't nickel and dime us in the process.

He played hardball with the opposition, ensuring that we didn't settle for anything less than what we deserved. His negotiation skills are top-notch, and thanks to him, we achieved a favorable outcome. Alongside his remarkable legal skills, the services provided by his office were great, making the entire process as smooth as possible.

I met with Mr. Michels on the worst day of my life! I was in a complete panic after a argument with my ex-wife, she threaten to call the police and accused me of some serious domestic violence allegations, and she did. When I met with John Michels, he helped me calm down and allowed me to explain in detail what happen, once he understood completely, he took the time to explain everything, exactly what could happen and how he and his law firm plan to protect me. I felt confident that I was in the right place with the right attorney. I was contacted by the detective and gave his information to John, he went to work, it was over an above for me, they kept me informed throughout the pre-trail matters. John was effective at reaching out to the district attorney’s office and discussing this matter on several occasions, after several months, they decided to drop the matter and not file charges. Absolutely fantastic attorney! If you find yourself facing a criminal case, you should contact John Michels law firm immediately! He really care about his clients and will sincerely protect you!

When my loved one was charged with a serious crime, my life was turned upside down until Mr. Koury entered it. He told us not to worry because, in his assessment, the accused had simply made a mistake. From the moment we shook hands with Mr. Koury, he eased our fears by assuring us that everything will be okay. We felt as though we had a brilliant lawyer in our family during a nail-biting time we needed his expertise and humanity the most. Mr. Koury cared about us and the future we both faced. This kind man of drive, determination and compassion worked diligently to keep the accused out of jail. He kept us in the loop every step of the way during the oft-confusing legal process. We thank Mr. Koury for saving my loved one's name and reputation so he could continue on the right path. Quite frankly, we don't know what we would have done without Mr. Koury's encouragement, direction, knowledge and trustworthiness. If you ever need to place your life in the hands of another being, Mr. Koury should be your first choice. He treats you like family.

Three years ago, I received a DUI. I have never been in trouble with the law, and never thought I'd find myself needing a Criminal Defense Attorney. However, I was fortunate enough to have Mr. Bobzin as my attorney. Because I have a high profile career, I choose not to disclose my name. But what I can say about Mr. Bobzin is that he is an exceptional attorney and DEEPLY cares about his clients. He was informative, thoughtful, and genuine throughout the process of this horrible event in my life. At the beginning of the judicial process, Mr. Bobzin was able to remove jail time to minimal work furlough, and see that I was put on an informal probation - otherwise I would've received a 60 day jail sentence; which would've potentially cost me my career. After the short work furlough time and 2 years of informal probation, I re-called Mr. Bobzin to help me terminate probation and expunge my record. The results were exceptionally successful! WE WON! In fact, during my early termination hearing, the judge stated I had only been on probation for 2 years and a few months. Mr. Bobzin jumped in and said "Your honor, my client has been on informal probation for 2 years and 6 months". At that point she reviewed court documents and agreed. After that comment the judge granted early termination of probation. Had she believed/overlooked that probation time period, I would still be on informal probation. Because of Mr. Bobzin's skill in the courtroom and attention to detail, I have been granted early termination of probation! Further, he is now requesting expungement of my record, which I have no doubt will be successful. Mr. Bobzin is a skilled, professional, and caring attorney. I cannot express how appreciative I am of his efforts to have helped me in my case.

Mr. Bobzin is an outstanding attorney and I would highly recommend him, without hesitation, to anyone who needs a good lawyer that will represent them skillfully in a court of law. Mr. Bobzin is not only highly ethical but extremely competent and knowledgeable, he ALWAYS puts his clients best interest first and foremost. Mr. Bobzin has experience in many areas of the law. He takes the time to sit with his clients and explain the various aspects of their cases to them, taking the time to ensure that the client understands all of the possible outcomes in their case and the strategy going forward. Mr. Bobzin considers all of the options available to his client as well as all of the potential outcomes in the case. Mr. Bobzin is respectful to both his clients and the court and is able to reach across the aisle to help reach an outcome that is beneficial to his client. What we need more of these days are "REAL ATTORNEYS" like Mr. Bobzin. Retain this attorney for your case and you will not be sorry with the representation or outcome!

I found out about attorney Mullane and his services through the NORML website. Since my felony marijuana conviction was 18 years old and I had moved away from the county where I was originally convicted finding the perfect lawyer was crucial. I found that man in Ryan Mullane. Always positive and truthful he listened to my unique situation and had the sand to take on my case. Our initial request was denied so Mr. Mullane set up a hearing before the superior court judge. Needless to say this was the moment of truth. Like Atticus Finch (To Kill A Mockingbird) only with the passion to expose the failed drug policies of the 80's 90's and mass incarcerations was he able to sway the judge in my favor when the district attorney was clearly not. Justice was served and I will always be grateful for having retained his services and all that came with it. I highly recommend you at least contact him first as you will find he is well within most people's budget and a great listener. My life again as a first class citizen is priceless !

I was recently in a difficult--and frankly, scary--dispute with my landlord, and initially felt completely intimidated and overwhelmed by the situation. I talked to a number of attorneys, including several of the more well-known tenant's rights firms in the Bay Area, many of whom gave me the run-around, or agreed to handle some aspects of the case but not others. I'm very grateful that I finally connected with Jason. He took on the entirety of the case, and developed an overall strategy to navigate the complexities of the situation. He handled the case with great skill and competence, and brought it to a very positive conclusion. He's a clear, strategic thinker, fair-minded, and not intimidated by the bullying tactics one encounters in these situations. And he really is just a good guy, and treats his clients very fairly and honorably. If you find yourself in this kind of situation, look him up!

I hired Mukund to represent me in my criminal case and he was very effective. He was well respected in the court by the judge and staff. He took the time to ask me all the right questions to learn the facts of my case and he did a great job keeping me informed the entire way. If you need an attorney, you should get Mukund on your side.

Vandalizem Sexual Battery (multiple occations) Mukund was very professional and a great listener. He did things in my case to buy me more time, so I can situate my life. He understood that my goal was not to serve jail time so he was very tactical about presenting different alternatives that I can do instead of jail time and presented them to the judge in a timely manner. He was a great negotiator. Whenever I called the office to ask questions about my case they always answered. The receptionist Gay was the first person I talked to when I called, so whenever I called I asked for her. Gay listened and remembered me. She was very understanding of what I was going through and made me feel like I had someone to talk to throughout my whole process. Every receptionist there was very nice and helpful as well. My conclusion of my case was NO JAIL TIME. In place of no jail time I had to do my terms and conditions, which is community service, anger management classes, etcc... I wanted to thank u again mukund my brother THANK YOU !!

Mukund Arun is a very sharp and knowledgeable negotiator, who conducts himself in a highly professional, ethical manner. My ex-husband was extremely spiteful, who did everything to try to make my life miserable, and was constantly making false accusations during this process. In the previous years, I have observed my ex-husband and found that he has a narcissist personality. Through this personality disorder he has used my two children as pawns in a game he felt that needed to be played. He has made them lie to the police and Child Protective Services, just to gain leverage and build a case against me that makes me look like an unfit parent which he hoped would result in him receiving full custody of my children. During this process Mr. Arun displayed overwhelming professionalism in dealing with the situation and communicated with my custody lawyer to ensure both sides understood the situation. Overall, Mr. Arun has done an outstanding job and constantly went above and beyond in all areas especially in communicating with my custody lawyer and frequently ensured that I understood every detail of my case. I am very pleased with the outcome of my settlement, and I would highly recommend Mr. Arun for anyone dealing with this type of situation.

Ms. Olson is a former manager of a prosecutor's office. Who better to represent you than someone who knows the ins and outs of what the prosecution can throw at you at trial? Ms. Olson is also ethical, very intelligent and connects well with people from all kinds of backgrounds. Anyone who hires her is lucky to have her.

I hired Attorney Blacknell to represent a family member who was charged with a very serious crime. Mr. Blacknell is a very patient and thoughtful listener. One should not be deceived by his mild manner. He is tenacious, discerning and penetrating getting to the heart of matters. His focus was on obtaining the best outcome for my family member. (One would expect that all attorneys should conduct themselves in such a fashion--but that is not always the case. We learned that from experience.) He was the second attorney we hired to defend this family member. We opted to release the first one. During the proceedings he did not make empty promises or pretty speeches. Nor did he make promises that he knew he couldn't fulfill. He was forthright with us. He presented himself well before the court and the dividends of that is that the court showed him respect. The verdict and sentencing was one we accepted and could live with.

I was apprehended during a public gathering, disoriented and extremely unprepared for jail, my family hired Mr. Rudolph as my attorney. Court day came, I met him for the first time. His presence was a huge relief. We had a short convo about my info and asked me what did I want? I simply told him a burger, he promised me he'd get me a burger by that night. 3 hours later, got me through the judge and got me released on my way to my burger. This may seem silly, but he is one of the few attorneys that will actually treat you like a fellow human being and not as a client or defendant. I highly recommend Mr. Rudolph to anybody in need of a superb attorney capable of defending you when all odds are against you. He represented me. Thank you Mr. Rudolph!

Bryndis represented me on two separate landlord/tenant cases. In both cases, Bryndis did everything in her power to arbitrate on my behalf and only one case actually went to court. Bryndis is an excellent communicator and she listens to her clients and represents people the way they want to be represented, not vice versa. She also is very realistic and explains all possible outcomes so her clients don't count eggs before they've hatched. When she takes you on as a client she is wonderful about making herself available day and night and when she is unable to answer her phone or texts she responds as soon as she is available. Bryndis is a great attorney for the people.

My friend and I hired Bryndis back in December of 2011 after we moved into a building and unit that was completely infested with bedbugs. Bryndis went above and beyond her duties and not only guided me in directions that I could go myself to protect myself ( visits to the tenants union, department of health, building inspector) but she also referred us to a small claims expert. The process was unrelenting, arduous, and at many times we felt like our case may never be resolved but Bryndis kept us positive, informed us of the necessary steps, and she displayed sincerity for us and what we were going through. I'm happy to inform anyone that reads this that she is a great woman with a very beautiful spirit, and that she is a top notch lawyer. After 9 months, we were Bryndis' first small claims case won. The case went from small claims to superior and we were awarded $10,205.00 ($205.00) over the maximum amount allotted for small claims cases. Thank you Bryndis once again for your professionalism and hard work.

Nam knew exactly what legal issues were present, what claims and options were available to us, and what laws applied. Even though our options did not require his firm's help, he was courteous and followed up. That's a professional, caring attorney. I'd recommend him highly.

All my my life i've been pretty healthy. I jog, work out & eat somewhat healthy. Last year at this time my doctor told me that my blood pressure was moving high in the danger zone. I knew this was due to the stress of our overwelming financial debt. We were living off credit cards because both mine & my wifes jobs were cutting back on hours & days. I decided to call BK attorney Nam Le at the "Jaurigue law group". Right off the bat, Nam was extremely professional, knowledgable & curteous. Nam listened to our problems & had the answers. He never left us in the dark. He followed up with me once, sometimes twice aweek. I felt like Nam was taking on our financial crisis as if it was his own . Anyway, 3 months later all our unsecured debt was eliminated, the garnishments were stopped & Nam got the monies that were garnished paid back to us. It was incredible. A month after this, i had a doctors appointment & my blood pressure was normal. Honest to god true story. Nam saved my marriage & possibly my life. So if you're out there undecided on which attorney to go with,,,, go with Nam Le. He is the best, #1 attorney in my book & recommend him highly. Thank you Nam

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.
