David Abromowitz was the lawyer I hired to help set up my IV Hydration and Vitamin Infusion business. He charged me quadruple what was discussed (quoted me 3.5-5K - charged me over 20K and I paid a final amount of OVER 12k - astronomical amount) and took 3 times as long to complete the job. Three other nurses in my coaching group (NursePreneurs) had similar experiences with him and another nurse, coincidentally, came forward today from a different IV Hydration/Vitamin Infusion business reporting the same story. RNs - be warned! He is dishonest and will overcharge you! I notified the BBB but his response was "I'm sorry she didn't understand". You and I both know the truth, Mr. Abromowitz. You were intentionally dishonest. It's people like you that give lawyers a bad name. All these RNs trusted you, I trusted you. Despite your lawyerly response to this review - you and I know the truth.

Very unprofessional. I paid Jessica $350; all she did was eat her breakfast, and she gave me some paperwork. She was too rude even to answer any questions and never answered my calls after the original consultation . She then claimed to have sent me several emails and demanded that I answer her (her way to get rid of me as a client) to sever her services; at this point, I realized it was best to cut my losses and get a lawyer who cared. Please don't waste your time with this one; she is a high-priced waste of your time.

Everyone has a job to do and naturally we want the money owed to do said job. But it is morally wrong to play with someone’s life and freedom because of it. But who expects lawyers to have morals? The situation my husband is in could’ve been avoided. Next time I’ll stick to my own instincts because this was absolutely not my first choice for a lawyer it was his families and we both regret letting them take the lead. Even when payments were being made he didn’t do much and this is the reason I refused to make the last one. Just make sure you pay him in full upfront if you want him to actually care. He did not do any face to face meetings with my fiancé. The first time they met face to face was at the hearing and it was clear he did no research. He was combative and had an arrogant attitude. He’ll say one thing on the phone to one person and either act oblivious to another or put something different in writing. He has zero regard for his client if you’re not filling his pocket and even when you are giving him money he still doesn’t seem to care. I really wouldn’t recommend working with him. It’s really hit or miss with him clearly and you don’t want to be a miss

Robert Goldstein has been helping me since 2007. I can never repay him for always having my back, giving me good advice and being the best at what he does. I am always willing to send friends and family his way, knowing he will take great care of them too! Thank you to you and Treja for your support always.

I was sued. Jessika counterclaimed. They offered a low settlement. She refused to fold and prepped for trial. Finally, the other side made an offer for settlement that was just right. Jessika really held out until the last minute for a good settlement and the case against me was dismissed!

After I realized there was no other legal recourse other than divorce, Jessika Gualtieri was one of the few attorneys I could find that would actually care about my situation. I needed personal attention and someone who knew what they were doing. It seemed like a very slow process at first, but once Jessika took over my case everything went smoothly...my divorce settlement was much more than I ever expected. I would recommend Ms. Gualtieri to everyone and she will be the first ones I call if I every need another attorney.

Jessika may not fit your stereotypical lawyer image at first, but she is a caring lawyer and definitely trustworthy. She managed to get us diversion and even an early sealing of our case. We are grateful for her help and I would strongly recommend her to anyone who needs a fresh perspective to their case.

The KM Law Firm provided us excellent legal representation at an affordable rate. They did a great job of making options and recommendations clear, providing timely communications, and always proposing what was in my organization's best interest.
For these reasons, I highly recommend KM Law Firm!
If and when legal representation is needed, they are my preferred law firm.

There are hundreds of attorneys in Columbus Ohio who are highly experienced in the Domestic court and family litigation, most of them are good attorneys, there are absolute few who are trustworthy and highly professional in their practice.
But when you need to protect yourself and your kids while Divorcing someone with Borderline or Narcissistic personality disorder and Supported by highly educated, very wealthy and very dysfunctional family who are able to hire several attorneys, do anything in their power to hurt you and your kids over several years of legal litigation, there is absolutely one Attorney who can stand by your side in very professional and ethical way focused on his duty to provide the best legal advice during all the traumatic circumstances you will go through.
Mr. Bracco was the one and the only who went above and beyond all expectations in understanding my case, predicting what my ex-spouse may do or say in court. His being very well prepared and very professional in the court room, helps the court to keep focusing on the most important things while my EX and the family along with their attorneys are doing their best to extend the litigation and distract the court with any possible way.
Mr. Bracco legal and psychological guide to safely navigating a high-conflict divorce from my unpredictable spouse gave me strength over the years to take control of my case with assertiveness and strategic thinking.
Words are not enough to thank Mr. Bracco and his team for all their hard work and support on my case and highly recommend them to lead through high conflict divorce cases.

Divorce case. The case went right up to trial. He forgot a lot of stuff and had several repeated meetings to discuss the same things costing a lot of wasted money. His trial preparation was extremely poor specially his time in the court. It was all last minute in the morning and all on paper. He did not share the discovery and a lot of information with me. He kept on reducing expectations as the case went on. His lack of preparation worked against me and helped the other side. Even during the negotiations he left several things open ended leading to loosing outcomes. Focused on money and showed no empathy even after loosing the case. Always came late to meetings scheduled in his office and left on the stoke on the hour. Gave a lot of incorrect recommendations and then later denied giving them. I would never recommend this lawyer to anyone especially for divorce cases which involve a child.

Do not go by the looks, he may look young or inexperienced but actually he is a gem of an attorney. He will make you feel real comfortable and never in a hurry. I had an immigration issue which was first of its kind and he did a great job so far.
He used his knowledge to get few things done which many lawyers who are handling the similar case did not think of or didn't do it. His approach towards my case not only saved me money in difficult times but also relieved most of my mental stress.
I am glad I found Jason for my case and did refer to my friends who are equally happy with his help. He is so down to earth and I was surprised to learn that he even gave rides to the clients in emergencies. He is very empathetic and thinks from clients perspective too.
I wish and pretty positive about Jason becoming one of the famous Attorneys in Columbus in near future. I am sure no one will regret hiring or taking his advice. Jason you are awesome!!!!

I recently engaged Organ Law for a contract negotiation and was thoroughly impressed by their professionalism and dedication. Their team provided comprehensive advice and demonstrated exceptional legal expertise, ensuring I understood every step of the process. Their commitment to personalized service, meticulous case preparation, and clear communication stood out, giving me confidence throughout. Thanks to their hard work, my case reached a positive resolution. I highly recommend for their outstanding legal services and client-focused approach.

First, I want to give a big thank you to Sam for always being there and being straight with me. He’s a pro’s pro. I know he has a lot of other ways could spend his time but the man’s ALWAYS working! When you need him he’s there! It’s awesome and more so comforting! Coming from a small business owner I truly respect and appreciate his dedication. He’s a super star in this world but he treats and makes you feel like you’re his only client. He doesn’t need these reviews but I’ll leave one anyway. I’m naturally a worrisome personality type so I know I can be a pain in the arse. If you’re looking for the best attorney around who doesn’t have to pay for fake google ads or 500 5 star reviews it’s Sam!!. Sam is Sam even if you don’t always wanna hear it he speaks in reality not fantasy. Thanks for putting up with me!!

Michael Lerner was assigned to my case when I applied for a public defender in Delaware County Ohio for a felony charge (child support issue) and I was immediately impressed at how diligent and attentive he was. Despite my inability to pay for any legal defense (hence why I had to apply for a public defender), he took a genuine interest in my case and spent a great deal of time carefully explaining how he intended to defend me and what to expect once we went to court. On the day of my court appearance, Mr. Lerner clearly put considerable effort into my defense. While public defense attorneys often seem go the easiest route of a quick plea bargain, Mr. Lerner went out of his way to ensure that my side of the story was thoroughly explained and thanks to his efforts, I was able to avoid the possibility of a one year prison sentence as well as a reasonable arrangement to finally pay off by child support debt. I was extremely impressed (not to mention very grateful) at how he defended me as though I were a paying client. It's truly refreshing to find an attorney who cares about getting the best possible outcome for a client regardless of their financial situation. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Lerner to anyone who is in need of a competent dedicated defense attorney. I could not be more pleased with the quality of his services!

I hired Michael to get my 11 year old niece out of a bad situation. He called an emergency hearing and had her safe and sound in a matter of a couple days! I would not hesitate to use him in the future to represent my family in a time of need. He has proven himself as a knowledgeable and respected attorney in the Columbus area.

I believe I was part of the case that the prior reviewer was referring to. I can say that that person was very difficult to work with. No attorney could have handled that person. Regardless, even if that's another case, I had the opposite experience with Mr. Lerner. He knows his stuff! I had a divorce case and an OVI case. My OVI was reduced to a physical control and I didn't even go on probation, despite a prior OVI. I highly recommend him.

Erika Young may be a good lawyer for some but she has been rude and obnoxious in our case. She has directed snide remarks during court sessions which were inappropriate. She developed a codependent relationship with our child, she has intentionally driven a wedge between use and our child who has mental health problems.

Aside from being a terrific lawyer, Erica is a true professional. She always made time for me and ensured I was not only informed but understood every aspect of my case. I hold her in the highest regard, not because she was successful in getting all charges dismissed in my case but because she has a true passion for the job she does and cares deeply for each and every one of her clients.

My experiences with Amy have been wonderful! A few years ago, she handled my marriage dissolution with promptness and professionalism. Her warm, friendly demeanor combined with her wealth of knowledge made me feel completely at ease during a particularly difficult life event.
Due to that positive experience and my confidence in her expertise, I am a returning client who has consulted her once again for a different situation. I found her to be as I remembered - easy to work with and willing to go above and beyond to assist me with my questions.
Speaking with Amy makes you feel as if you were chatting with a friend - a friend well-equipped with the answers you are seeking. I highly recommend her services!

Hired Amy Levine for two different situations, both involving custody. She fought hard for my rights and did what she could to help me protect my children. The outcome of the first case was much better then I expected. Her true skill lies in the courtroom. She will work hard and fight for you.

My husband & I appreciated the level of competence of Attorney Jewett. On one occasion I was highly impressed with his ability to represent me in an expert manner, in opposition to one of the most expensive, upscale legal firms in Columbus. His quality is priced well.
We will continue to use him.

Mike Jewett is a decent lawyer, hes helped my husband out in the past on a discounted fee (family friend of my husbands) but he is rude and a bit disrespectful. While trying to talk to him on the phone regarding a matter i guess he couldn't hear me because of my 20month old and 3 year old who were talking to me. I moved in a room where i could still see them but hopefully he could hear me and my girls (being only toddlers) did not like that and only got louder. Now as any parent knows you cant just go somewhere and leave toddlers alone to go talk on the phone or anything for that matter without jeopardizing their safety. You also cannot tell a 3 year old or 20month old to be quiet and expect them to comply. I told him when he stated "cant you get them quiet?" i said to him "no, what do you want me to do mike? They are 3 and 20 months! I cant just make them be quiet!" he told me then " you have no parenting skills and need to get some!" WHAT! So innapropriate and disrespectful! I wonder if he has kids? Just doesnt seem like something someone who has had children and has been in my shoes would say. I just told him "thanks for your help! Send me the fee!" and hung up. So if you want a decent lawyer hes your guy but expect rude comments and unprofessionalism on his part!

Despite providing substantial documentation to support our claims, our concerns have been consistently disregarded by State Farm Fire and Casualty, leading us to contemplate submitting complaints against the attorney representing State Farm Fire and Casualty to The Ohio Board of Professional Conduct and The Office of Disciplinary Counsel. State Farm's actions have demonstrated a pattern of bad faith practices, including a failure to conduct a thorough investigation into our corporation and the unauthorized disclosure of confidential policy information to a third party without proper authorization. These actions have not only hindered the progress of our insurance claim but also infringed upon our rights as a small African American-owned business.
Specifically, we would like to highlight the following grievances:
1. **Failure to Conduct a Proper Investigation**: We contend that State Farm neglected to conduct a comprehensive investigation into our insurance claim, focusing erroneously on individual personnel rather than engaging with all relevant stakeholders as required by Ohio regulations.
2. **Lack of Personal Contact**: Despite my pivotal role within the corporation and clear documentation listing my responsibilities, State Farm failed to make any direct contact with me during their investigation, breaching standard investigative protocols.
3. **Allegations of Discrimination**: Our status as an African American-owned business raises concerns of potential discrimination in State Farm's handling of our claim, with actions suggesting bias in their decision-making processes. Additionally State Farm Fire and Casualty company disclosed policy information to an unauthorized party without any consent from any officer, partner or shareholder of our corporation. (Attached evidence) Please view the attached sworn under oath statements attached specifically answer number 7
"7. Please admit or deny that you, Deborah McSurley, were given notice that on or about
August 16, 2022, Claim Number 35-29N7-27R had been denied.
ANSWER: Admit. I contacted State Farm’s corporate office and they advised me I was
not a named insured and that the claim had been denied."
4. **Engagement with Black Lives Matter**: In response to perceived injustices, we have reached out to the Black Lives Matter organization to seek support and potentially raise awareness of our case within the community and beyond.
5. **Attempts to Resolve the Issue**: Multiple efforts to engage with State Farm's attorney, Lori Thomson, have been met with silence, prompting us to explore alternative avenues of addressing these issues.
6. **Potential Legal Actions**: Considering the gravity of the situation, we are prepared to pursue further legal actions against State Farm for their alleged misconduct, including filing formal complaints with relevant regulatory bodies.
Sincerely,
Mr. Marquis L. Kimble
Director of Operations/Co-Founder
The HCV Distribution Corporation Inc.

To the distinguished members of The Ohio Disciplinary Counsel,
I wish to express my gratitude for the valuable services provided by your esteemed organization, which enables consumers to address professional misconduct. I am writing to share my experience regarding State Farm Fire and Casualty's attorney, Ms. Lori Thomson.
I have personally experienced violations of my rights, including racial discrimination and defamation of character, at the hands of State Farm Fire and Casualty. Additionally, the rights of our protected class organization, The HCV Distribution Corporation, have been consistently disregarded by Ms. Thomson. The attached document provides evidence of State Farm Fire and casualty's breach of our company's private policy information by sharing it with an unauthorized third party. Despite clear violations of my rights and those of our company, Ms. Thomson has failed to respond adequately to our requests for resolution. She has also instructed us not to contact State Farm Fire and Casualty regarding these violations, yet she continues to disregard our attempts to seek a resolution.
In February 2024, we sent a certified letter to State Farm Fire and Casualty seeking a settlement for these violations. Although it was received and signed for, it was ultimately disregarded. The response from Ms. Thomson included personal threats of criminal charges for our attempts to address these violations. I am reporting Ms. Thomson to the professional board of conduct due to suspected racial discriminatory actions, which parallel the treatment we have received from State Farm Fire and Casualty.
Despite providing sworn evidence of the violations and rights infringements, Ms. Thomson has ignored our requests and resorted to threatening me personally with criminal charges, despite her client's violation of my personal rights and those of our corporation, The HCV Distribution Corporation Inc. We are urgently seeking your involvement to address these violations.
I would like to emphasize that I am a registered minister in the state of Ohio and a sworn public servant notary in Lucas County with a clear background and record. It is both unprofessional and a violation of my rights for Ms. Thomson to threaten filing a police report against me for seeking answers and a resolution.
We have filed complaints with various authorities, including The Ohio Department of Insurance, The Ohio Civil Rights Commission, The Ohio Attorney General's Office, The Ohio Supreme Court, The Ohio Office of Disciplinary Counsel, the Better Business Bureau, The Office of the Honorable Governor Mike DeWine, The Consumer Protection Bureau, The Federal Trade Commission, and the Office of Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown.
I kindly ask for your immediate involvement and appropriate actions to address these actions committed against me personally and against our corporation, The HCV Distribution Corporation. I have attached relevant documents for your review and appreciate your assistance in addressing this serious and ongoing matter.
Sincerely,
Minister Marquis L. Kimble
Public Servant, Co-Founder, Director of Operations
The HCV Distribution Corporation INC.

To the distinguished members of The Ohio Disciplinary Counsel,
I wish to express my gratitude for the valuable services provided by your esteemed organization, which enables consumers to address professional misconduct. I am writing to share my experience regarding State Farm Fire and Casualty's attorney, Ms. Lori Thomson.
I have personally experienced violations of my rights, including racial discrimination and defamation of character, at the hands of State Farm Fire and Casualty. Additionally, the rights of our protected class organization, The HCV Distribution Corporation, have been consistently disregarded by Ms. Thomson. The attached document provides evidence of State Farm Fire and casualty's breach of our company's private policy information by sharing it with an unauthorized third party. Despite clear violations of my rights and those of our company, Ms. Thomson has failed to respond adequately to our requests for resolution. She has also instructed us not to contact State Farm Fire and Casualty regarding these violations, yet she continues to disregard our attempts to seek a resolution.
In February 2024, we sent a certified letter to State Farm Fire and Casualty seeking a settlement for these violations. Although it was received and signed for, it was ultimately disregarded. The response from Ms. Thomson included personal threats of criminal charges for our attempts to address these violations. I am reporting Ms. Thomson to the professional board of conduct due to suspected racial discriminatory actions, which parallel the treatment we have received from State Farm Fire and Casualty.
Despite providing sworn evidence of the violations and rights infringements, Ms. Thomson has ignored our requests and resorted to threatening me personally with criminal charges, despite her client's violation of my personal rights and those of our corporation, The HCV Distribution Corporation Inc. We are urgently seeking your involvement to address these violations.
I would like to emphasize that I am a registered minister in the state of Ohio and a sworn public servant notary in Lucas County with a clear background and record. It is both unprofessional and a violation of my rights for Ms. Thomson to threaten filing a police report against me for seeking answers and a resolution.
We have filed complaints with various authorities, including The Ohio Department of Insurance, The Ohio Civil Rights Commission, The Ohio Attorney General's Office, The Ohio Supreme Court, The Ohio Office of Disciplinary Counsel, the Better Business Bureau, The Office of the Honorable Governor Mike DeWine, The Consumer Protection Bureau, The Federal Trade Commission, and the Office of Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown.
I kindly ask for your immediate involvement and appropriate actions to address these actions committed against me personally and against our corporation, The HCV Distribution Corporation. I have attached relevant documents for your review and appreciate your assistance in addressing this serious and ongoing matter.
Sincerely,
Minister Marquis L. Kimble

Despite providing substantial documentation to support our claims, our concerns have been consistently disregarded by State Farm Fire and Casualty, leading us to contemplate submitting complaints against the attorney representing State Farm Fire and Casualty to The Ohio Board of Professional Conduct and The Office of Disciplinary Counsel. State Farm's actions have demonstrated a pattern of bad faith practices, including a failure to conduct a thorough investigation into our corporation and the unauthorized disclosure of confidential policy information to a third party without proper authorization. These actions have not only hindered the progress of our insurance claim but also infringed upon our rights as a small African American-owned business.
Specifically, we would like to highlight the following grievances:
1. **Failure to Conduct a Proper Investigation**: We contend that State Farm neglected to conduct a comprehensive investigation into our insurance claim, focusing erroneously on individual personnel rather than engaging with all relevant stakeholders as required by Ohio regulations.
2. **Lack of Personal Contact**: Despite my pivotal role within the corporation and clear documentation listing my responsibilities, State Farm failed to make any direct contact with me during their investigation, breaching standard investigative protocols.
3. **Allegations of Discrimination**: Our status as an African American-owned business raises concerns of potential discrimination in State Farm's handling of our claim, with actions suggesting bias in their decision-making processes. Additionally State Farm Fire and Casualty company disclosed policy information to an unauthorized party without any consent from any officer, partner or shareholder of our corporation. (Attached evidence) Please view the attached sworn under oath statements attached specifically answer number 7
"7. Please admit or deny that you, Deborah McSurley, were given notice that on or about
August 16, 2022, Claim Number 35-29N7-27R had been denied.
ANSWER: Admit. I contacted State Farm’s corporate office and they advised me I was
not a named insured and that the claim had been denied."
4. **Engagement with Black Lives Matter**: In response to perceived injustices, we have reached out to the Black Lives Matter organization to seek support and potentially raise awareness of our case within the community and beyond.
5. **Attempts to Resolve the Issue**: Multiple efforts to engage with State Farm's attorney, Lori Thomson, have been met with silence, prompting us to explore alternative avenues of addressing these issues.
6. **Potential Legal Actions**: Considering the gravity of the situation, we are prepared to pursue further legal actions against State Farm for their alleged misconduct, including filing formal complaints with relevant regulatory bodies.

David Abromowitz was the lawyer I hired to help set up my IV Hydration and Vitamin Infusion business. He charged me quadruple what was discussed (quoted me 3.5-5K - charged me over 20K and I paid a final amount of OVER 12k - astronomical amount) and took 3 times as long to complete the job. Three other nurses in my coaching group (NursePreneurs) had similar experiences with him and another nurse, coincidentally, came forward today from a different IV Hydration/Vitamin Infusion business reporting the same story. RNs - be warned! He is dishonest and will overcharge you! I notified the BBB but his response was "I'm sorry she didn't understand". You and I both know the truth, Mr. Abromowitz. You were intentionally dishonest. It's people like you that give lawyers a bad name. All these RNs trusted you, I trusted you. Despite your lawyerly response to this review - you and I know the truth.

Very unprofessional. I paid Jessica $350; all she did was eat her breakfast, and she gave me some paperwork. She was too rude even to answer any questions and never answered my calls after the original consultation . She then claimed to have sent me several emails and demanded that I answer her (her way to get rid of me as a client) to sever her services; at this point, I realized it was best to cut my losses and get a lawyer who cared. Please don't waste your time with this one; she is a high-priced waste of your time.

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.
