Jeff and team were exceedingly thorough. Jeff explained difficult concepts so that my wife and I could understand them without having a legal education. I was amazed at the time he spent with us answering our questions. He created a fairly complex will and trust for us quickly and at a surprisingly low cost. Jennifer (paralegal) spent hours with us, arranging documents, making requested changes and walking us through the trust “funding” and execution process. Jennifer was also very patient and extremely friendly. My wife and I would wholeheartedly recommend Jeffrey Berenholz to anyone.

Brian Taubman provided me with one of best most convenient attorney experiences I have ever had! He takes full advantage of modern technology. He must have a clone of himself because I have no idea how he himself takes or returns phone calls, text messages and emails so quickly, he never left me hanging. I really can’t speak highly enough of this guy. I don’t think anybody can go wrong with Brian for their legal needs. Thanks again Brian!

Recently I was represented by Joseph Patituce. I cannot begin to explain the stress and confusion that comes along with being part of a criminal case. During the entirety of the 2 year process I was always full of questions and Joseph would always answer them in a timely, prudent, and unbiased manner. His understanding of the law is unmatched. This knowledge base helps immensely with the confusion that is inevitable for someone like myself who is completely new to any of it. I highly recommend this firm.

I hired this law firm to defend me from some very serious charges. Like you I started off reading reviews and doing my research. One thing that I found helpful was that I put his name into Google's news search and saw that he isnt one of those attorneys that pump themselves up with fake claims, he legitimately has defended cases that made international news.
My case was not nearly as serious as a triple murder but he acted like it was. He was kind and understanding even as I freaked out repeatedly about the status of my case. I would definitely hire them again.

Mr. Brandon Henderson has represented me on more than one occasion. He is a great attorney and has yet to let me or any of my friends down in court. He studies his cases thoroughly and puts a lot of effort into all his cases and always kept me up to date every time things came up involving my case. He seems to have a great relationship with the judges and prosecutors and they show him a lot of respect. This really helps in getting a fair trial/case. He did an excellent job cross examining the witnesses in my case and felt very comfortable through all the proceeding. I would strongly recommend Brandon Henderson for representation.

I contacted Brandon to work a domestic case I was going through and I have to say picking him was the best choice I could have made. Brandon's knowledge on the law and procedures is amazing I was so impressed by his skill and the way he took the time to explain the whole process of what was going and what steps we should take to get the best possible outcome in my case. Brandon takes his work very serious and throughout the whole case showed me how important getting me the best possible outcome for me was to him, unlike some attorneys I've dealt with in the past that seem to careless whether they win or lose the case as long as they got paid, but not Brandon he was great at staying in contact with me and letting me know what was going on every step of the way so I never felt in the dark during this case. His staff is also very friendly and courteous and would relay messages to Brandon for me in a timely matter, anytime I called Brandon would always get back to me within a reasonable even with being as busy as he his with his multiple cases going on, he truly put me at ease throughout the whole trial knowing he was on my side and doing everything possible to win for me. And that is exactly what happened he won the case for me and I couldn't be more grateful to Brandon for that. I saw all the great reviews for Brandon and that is what ultimately made me choose to go with him and I couldn't have made a better choice, Brandon did not only meet my expectations but he exceeded them completely. His pricing is also very reasonable compared to a lot of other attorneys out there because i did call other places to get prices for my case. I hope that I will never be in need of his services again, but if I do there will only be one person I call and that is Brandon Henderson. I would recommend him to anyone I know that is dealing with any legal issues.

After having several law firms decline my case due to its difficulty, I was truly discouraged. Thankfully, The Chandra Law Firm took it on while setting realistic expectations and making no promises. I felt reassured that I had the right team for the job. Their guidance and insight throughout the process was invaluable, as this was definitely uncharted territory for me. I was an emotional wreck enduring such a life-changing event leading up to the lawsuit. I can’t overstate how appreciative I am for not only their professionalism, but also the empathy shown. From beginning to end, my case was handled in such a dignified manner, and for that I am grateful. Thank you, Don, Subodh, and company! You truly embody, “Your case is our cause”.

We searched on line for an immigration lawyer who could speak Spanish and English to help my wife on her green card application after getting married through a K-1 visa. We came across with Jennifer Peyton for her great reviews and we were not disappointed. She and her staff were very nice, understanding and patience. She filed our case in October 2015, in January 2016 my wife already had her US. Permanent Residence card. We are very very pleased with Jennifer. She really cares about you and getting your case moving. We will hire her again for my wife's Citizenship application in 3 years. We recommend her highly for their professionalism and ethics. It is also great they speak Spanish, since it was the only language my wife could speak. Thank you so much. We are happy clients.

In the summer of ‘14, my wife and I hired Jenna Peyton to guide us through the immigration process (moving from Canada to the USA). Our dealings with her from our first consultation meeting to the point where we achieved my Green Card were professional, informative, efficient and helpful. Jenna was always prompt in getting back to us regarding questions that we had and she consistently demonstrated courtesy and tact during the course of our application process. Some aspects of the nature of our process were stressful, but we could always count on Jenna for clear, thorough and honest advice during these difficult times. Jenna guided us through the immigration process step by step and essentially all of our timelines unfolded in the exact manner that she suggested they would. Jenna is a true expert in this field. Aside from her aforementioned personal and professional qualities, Jenna’s fees were very reasonable and we appreciated that there was precise transparency with her from day one and onward (no hidden or extra costs whatsoever). Even after our agreement term had expired, Jenna was willing and at the ready to clarify a few remaining questions that we had. We could not have gone through this process nearly as effectively or efficiently without Jenna’s wisdom and advice. Jenna was a pleasure to deal with throughout the course of our immigration process; we enthusiastically recommend hiring her if you are in need of a lawyer who specializes in one of her fields.

I was involved in situation in Dec 2023. Ken went above and beyond and was able to handle situation. Without his knowledge and careful review I was about to get everything resolved. I can not thank him enough for his time and knowledge. He also is a great person who truly cares and is straight to the point. I could not ask for a better attorney.

My father contacted Ken Bossin when I was involved in a driving incident that had the potential of leaving me with a suspended license. Since we had never had the need for an attorney in this kind of matter, we were at a complete loss as to how to proceed. A relative supplied us with the names of several possible attorneys, one of whom introduced us to Mr. Bossin. When my father spoke with Mr. Bossin on the phone, we immediately stopped our search, being thoroughly impressed with the breadth of his knowledge and the depth of his experience. We found him approachable and very easy to work with. Throughout the period of moving this through the court system he was very clear about his goals and what he would need on my part to back up the case he was presenting. He was scrupulously honest and settled on a tactic that seemed fair and appropriate. Happily, the case was resolved exactly as we had hoped. Moreover, when a minor glitch arose with the DMV after the court proceedings, Mr. Bossin immediately took action and intervened to obtain a court order that set things straight. I highly recommend Mr. Bossin and think that anyone needing clear and effective assistance would do well to work with him.

In October of 2023, I found myself in a situation that I would’ve never imagined being in. As a person who doesn’t even have as much as a parking ticket on my record, I was charged with theft from a local grocery store. My case was unique as I didn't intentionally take any items from the store, but was instead provided incorrect information by a store employee. Ken took the time to truly understand the circumstances and details of the sequence of events that actually happened and did not stop his work until the charges against me were dismissed. In all of the research that I did before deciding to hire an attorney, I did not see a single instance when charges like mine were just dismissed outright. Typically, for first time offenders the best outcome to a case like mine is being offered a diversion program in exchange for the charges being dropped. Even when the prosecutor offered me the opportunity to compete the diversion program, Ken still went to battle on my behalf and argued the facts of the case until the prosecutor agreed to dismiss the charges. I truly could not have asked for a better outcome or better representation. Ken was on my side every step of the way and I would recommend him to anyone seeking legal counsel, as you will not find someone who puts more time or effort into your case and truly cares about the outcome.

He returns calls, texts and genuinely cares about your outcome.

Nick Froning represented me in an ultimately dismissed grievance that went on nearly 2 years. He is persistent and relentless, yet also incredibly calming and assertive. He is an excellent writer and has the ability to truly appreciate legal scenarios of which he was initially not involved in.

I consulted with, and hired Eric Long to defend a tort claim (defamation) filed against my son. Eric was patient and professional throughout the course of this claim. He was also kind which helps when you are going through huge anxiety attacks because of what appeared to me to be a hostile and unfounded claim.

Eric Long assisted myself and two other students in a student affairs case with my university. Myself and two other close friends who attend the same university were accused of breaking a COVID-19 safety agreement. Eric was always within reach over the phone during the case and was always very quick to find answers for any questions we had. Eric put my mind at ease in a time when I was very frustrated and panicked. The work that Eric put in and the truth that he was able to find was very successful in dropping all accusations and allegations that were mounted against myself and other students in the eyes of the university officials conducting the investigation.

As a Federal Government employee, I became the target of an Office of Inspector General (O.I.G.) criminal investigation. I found Ian Friedman after doing research on several sites for a Federal Criminal Defense attorneys in Cleveland, Ohio. One thing that I was impressed with was his success rate at jury trial. I looked at other attorneys but was shocked when I read reviews about them "dumping" clients in the middle of their case. Ian had a lot of client reviews who stated that he supported them throughout the entire case. I could not find one derogatory remark about his skills and abilities. After doing a Google search I came across some of his interviews on popular television shows such as The O'Reilly Factor and Piers Morgan.
Next, I set up an initial consultation with Ian and his team. He made me feel very comfortable and confident that I had met with the right person. The thing that separated Ian from other attorneys that I spoke to was his honesty about his retainer fee. Most attorneys will give you a low figure to "hook" you into retaining them, then, they will bilk their client with fees. My co-defendant was given a low retainer fee but our out of pocket costs ended up exactly the same. After the initial sticker shock, I spoke to my family and we decided that Ian and his team were my best option. He was absolutely worth every cent!!!
Ian and Mark Devan started the pre-indictment work and engaged the AUSA. After meeting with the AUSA they devised the best strategy to address the case. They found a Subject Matter Expert (SME) and had an independent opinion written based on the known facts of the case which was supported by case law and policy. The AUSA called three (3) grand juries for testimony and had over a dozen witnesses testify. The final verdict was a "No Bill." There were times, when I thought that I could no longer handle the stress of the situation. Ian always told me, “Don’t worry about it. I’ll handle it.” Or “let me worry about that.” I truly believe that the outcome would have been very different if I would not have been blessed with Ian, Mark Devan, and Brad Wolfe on my side.

Ian Friedman and his firm are one of the finest in northeast Ohio. When you step into their office and interface with their staff you feel a disappearance of the stress and anxiety that a legal issue can cause. In my past experience in legal matters, that does not happen with other attorneys and firms. Ian immediately focuses on the issues of the cases and gives his resolution to the issues of the case. You walk out of his office in a relaxed mode and feel re-energized from all the anxiety, knowing positive results will be the goal and achieved. It should be noted that Ian is one the most highly regarded attorney's in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, and northeast Ohio. His legal approach is regarded as the best by all involved in a judicial matter. I have been blessed several times to have his firm behind me. I am also, honored to know Ian and the staff of his firm.

Mr. Justin Weatherly is an exceptional defense attorney. He was able to significantly reduce my charges regarding a DUI case and I could not be happier with the outcome. Mr. Weatherly is the most skilled, compassionate, and highly respected attorneys that I have ever met. This was evident through his interactions with the judge, his peers, and myself. The judge that presided over my case concluded with these words, “you are very fortunate to have been represented by Mr. Weatherly.” I can sincerely say that I cannot agree more! Thank you for all of your excellent work on my case.

My wife got into some trouble on Labor day 2018. When I initially hired an attorney to represent her, I thought I was hiring a good one. I was wrong. We were steered to Mark Marein by a friend. After one meeting, her first attorney was fired. Mark took the case and immediately began working toward a resolution. I knew when he said he would handle it, he would. We recently received word that all charges were dismissed without prejudiced. Once he was hired, I knew that this would be the final outcome. Mark is straight forward and no nonsense. He is an absolute bull and is determined to get the best resolution he can. For the best criminal attorney on the market today, hire him. You won't be disappointed.

I initially hired a "top criminal defense attorney in Cleveland" according to google search results before hiring Mark Marein. After realizing I had wasted a significant amount of money and time, Mark Marein was referred to me. After one meeting, I fired my attorney and hired Mark.
The day Mark took my case he started working toward resolution. He understood quickly what result I needed and worked tirelessly until we received it. He is well respected in the courtroom and if there is favorable deal to be had - he will get it. His approach is straightforward and trustworthy. If he makes a promise to get something done, he will not stop until he delivers.
If anyone needed a criminal attorney in Cleveland - I would recommend Mark Marein without hesitation. He certainly is the best in Cleveland and I would venture to say one of the top criminal defense attorneys in the State.

I don't typically do the whole review thing but in this case I feel it's necessary. Mark was referred to me by a friend of mine in January 2014. During this time, I was at a very rough point in my life and needed some help cleaning a few matters up. I went to my initial consolation and knew within the first 5 minutes that I needed to hire him. At the time I was 26, and unfortunately this was not the first time I had been in legal trouble. Prior to hiring Mark, I had used 3 other defense attorneys in the Cleveland area. In my experience, the attorneys would sell me a dream, take thousands of dollars from me, and not deliver on their promises. This was not the case at all with Mark. He was very straight forward and honest from the very beginning. He was very compassionate and genuinely cared about all that I was going through. He was very easy to reach and always made time to touch base with me and keep me informed on what was going on with my case. He is also very well liked and respected in virtually every court in the state. I highly recommend Mark Marein to anybody who is going through a tough time like I was.

Going with Friedman and Nemecek changed my life. Going through the scariest thing in my life coming from a person who went to war says a lot.. Ian and Maddy were my lifeline to getting through a legal nightmare. The communication and care that they gave throughout the entire process was exemplary. I cannot fathom another firm caring and understanding as much as they have. The way they help you feel secure about your situation and the hand holding that they give is out of this world. They had such patience with me and my constant communication that I needed to have to feel comfortable going through this. I can’t say enough good things about this firm, and I could honestly write paragraph after paragraph about how amazing Maddy and Ian are.

Mr. Hustick took my two cases seriously and communicated the attitudes and expectations of the courts. He was professional, timely, and thorough in the court correspondences and legal standings of the cases. He was successfully able to prove a double jeopardy in one of the cases and have it dismissed and all charges dropped.

Elena worked with my husband and I on our family immigration case. From the beginning until the very end of our processing she was very responsive and patient with us. First, during the free consultation she gave me and my husband a very detailed overview of the process. She sounded very confident, attentive, and professional, which prompted us to choose her out of the numerous lawyers we had been considering.
During the processing we had lots of questions and concerns, we were stressed and nervous most of the time. We were not the easiest clients to work with, as we were worried and concerned (sometimes with no valid reason). However, anytime we called or emailed Elena with our questions she always responded within 1 day, she even agreed to skype with me to discuss my concerns. She consulted with my husband right before the visa interview and helped him handle stress and worrying.
In regards to handling our case, we are highly satisfied with Elena's work. Our petition packet was assembled quickly and correctly, and went through USCIS with no issues. During NVC stage, we had a little glitch with application, for which we received a checklist. However, Elena handled the problem promptly, she had the corrected document mailed out the next day.
Overall, my husband and I are very satisfied with and grateful for Elena's work. For a very reasonable fee she did great amount of work for us, including emotional support during stressful immigration processing. I would, without hesitation, recommend Elena to a friend going through this difficult, stressful, and lengthy process.

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.
