This firm worked with me on my case for over a year. Every single step of the way they kept me informed about what the next steps would be. They were beyond fair with their actions and I truly felt like they fought for me not just as a client but as a person who really needed them to be my advocates. Emily was the attorney in charge of my case and she is smart and compassionate. She had all her t’s crossed and her i’s dotted, every step of the way. Without her experience, knowledge and wisdom we could not have been successful. We had 3 attorney’s step in to make sure we had everything we needed and I could not be more grateful for everyone’s work and dedication. They are honest and reliable. If you’re on the fence, call them. They’ll tell you if they believe they can help and they’ll fight for you!

Mr. Kirlew stands out as one of the most empathetic and honest attorneys I have had the pleasure of knowing. Without going into the specifics of any case, I can confidently say that he consistently goes above and beyond for his clients. His professionalism is unmatched—he is always on time, respectful, and fair. What sets him apart is his ability to navigate the complexities of government-related legal matters with integrity and a clear understanding of the industry’s inherent biases. His dedication to truly understanding his clients’ needs and fighting for them is remarkable. It’s rare to find an attorney who balances empathy with such strong advocacy. I highly recommend Mr. Kirlew to anyone seeking a principled and committed lawyer.

Hired Mr Ferris after the absent father of my child reappeared and wanted timesharing. Mr Ferris was always very responsive and took the time to explain everything to me about family law cases and was realistic about the complexities of my situation. We ended up with child support and everything we wanted out of a time sharing plan. Forever grateful to Mr Ferris and all the hours of work he put into my case. Highly recommend!

I came to Scott with an impossible divorce case. It was 2-1/2 years old, the previous attorney had multiple health issues and had grossly under-litigated my case. In 3 months time he got all the depositions done, 2 case management hearings, motions heard a mediation, and was ready for trial. Scott did more in 3 months than the other attorney did in 2-1/2 years! I wish I would have started with Scott Ferris!
If you need a good attorney, save yourself years of grief and headaches Scott worked hard for me and I had fantastic results! Give Scott a call. He’s got your back.

I initially consulted with Ashley because I got turned away at the courthouse for not having filled out the correct form. The whole process was so confusing to me, and Ashley did a great job in explaining how it works. I decided to hire her to file my divorce for me, and I'm so grateful! She was extremely professional and kind, as well as very flexible with her schedule to make it easy for me to meet with her. I am so appreciative that she handled all the paperwork and court processes for me, as well as explained how to fill out forms in such a patient and easy to understand way. I had a pretty simple divorce all things considered, but she's great at what she does and knows how to get things done quickly!

My experience as a client hasn't been anything other than a growing experience. For that I have Ashley to think. Navigating through the court system is not only tricky, but frustrating, amongst many other feelings, and Ashley made sure to not only guide me, but with patience teach me the ways around it as well. I highly recommend Ashley Wahl, not only for her experience and knowledge, but for her human quality which comes in handy when you need someone, not only to vent those frustrating feelings, but to help sort and understand those complicated laws.

Attorneys Rick Hermida and Dairon Buergo are by far a tremendous duo. Not only are they great at what they do, they are very responsive and very professional. Each one of them went the extra mile to make sure everyone understood what was in front of them. Our family was facing a possible horrific outcome, but thankfully, that outcome never saw the light of day. Thank you, Rick & Dairon. You've both been a part of our family for so many years, it'll take some time getting used to the idea we will no longer be talking with you. We can't thank you enough for everything you did for our family. For anyone who needs an experienced, educated, and professional attorney(s), we highly recommend Mr. Rick Hermida and Mr. Dairon Buergo for all of your legal needs.

People rely on lawyers and attorneys, usually, at points in their life that they'd rather not talk about. But, that's how it goes. Mr. Fuste was that attoney that for me at the point I needed him he went through every single step of the way with me when I had lost hope and thought I had lost my career in law enforcement. Mr. Fuste gave me the motivation and showed me that there was a light at the end of every dark tunnel. Mr. Fuste even checked on my well being do to the stress and traumatic experience I was passing. They had released me of my duties and told me I was no longer going to be receiving any payment. Mr. Fuste worked extremely diligently on my case and for the five months I had been released sitting at home he was able to still get me my payments. Mr. Fuste finalized and won the case after just 5 months. I returned back to work thanks to him I am where I am today and continue doing what I love most.

I would like to forward this review for Michelle Ann Estlund, for whom I retained twice. I originally retained Ms. Estlund for a member of my family in regards to a criminal defense case . She was professional, concise, and on point. She provided us with a very favorable outcome which included pretrial diversion and record sealing. We were very pleased at that point. As fate would have it , a year later I found myself in the same place, only worse. I was charged with two major felonies, and deeply entrenched in the legal justice system. I retained Michelle once again. let me say it again, her professionalism and knowledge of the justice system are paramount. She was always there for me whether by cell phone or meeting me at the office on a Saturday, always keeping me up to date with current situations. In the courtroom her experience was obvious, whether a motion or sounding, always on top of her game, providing the best direction possible. In the end, all the charges were dismissed, resulting in a Nolle Pros, which was the best possible outcome for both of us. Michelle went the extra mile as well seeing us through a return of property motion. A little stressful, but once again she prevailed. I cannot say enough how grateful to her I am.

I contacted Ms. Estlund after having been arrested for a petit theft incident. After a single call to her office, I was given an appointment right away. During our initial meeting, I explained the details of my incident. She was attentive and focused. After listening to what I had to say, she responded with a wealth of information (very knowledgeable and experienced, she is) and was compassionate too. She gave me reassurance and peace of mind that I was in good hands. I left her office feeling and knowing that I had her full support and attention to my case.
Needless to say, throughout the entire process she was superb. Shortly thereafter, my case was filed nolle prose. Ms. Estlund was detailed and thorough from start to finish. She was easy to reach too (by call and email). I could not be happier that she represented me as my legal counsel. I would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone. She is a realiable and professional attorney. Top-notch!

I contacted Michelle in 2011 to ask for advice on dealing with an Interpol problem. At the time I had received a negative response to my appeal with Interpol. I asked Michelle for a second opinion and was skeptical that anything could be done. She read my case and felt that she could help me. I worked with Michelle for over 12 months in preparing my second appeal. Michelle was at all times professional and showed great empathy towards my situation. Michelle is a subject matter expert in dealing with Interpol and knows the rules and constitution intimately. If you want advice in dealing with Interpol there is no better person you could choose.
Michelle worked over and above the call of duty in my case and was available 24/7 and took calls from me on many occasions outside office hours. Michelle is a straight talker and tells you how it is and does not promise anything she cannot deliver. I rate Michelle at the highest level for her legal abilities and belief in justice. Having dealt with over 50 lawyers in my career I can say that she is the best. Her fees are fair and reasonable and she is genuinely interested and believes in any case that she takes on. In 2012 we received a successful result. I doubt anyone else could have done a better job. Thank you Michelle.

Mr Cruz from the momment i met him for consultation i knew was the lawyer i needed. He did not let down. Kept me in the loop with my case the whole time and was never to busy to return a phone call and keep me up to speed with everything. I really couldnt ask for more. Anytime anyone asks if i know anyone i refer them to Mr Cruz and he has yet to let down. His work ethics and professionalism in court stand alone. After using him im sure u will never have an issue finding a criminal lawyer again. I normally dont write here, but was very thankful and happy with the outcome in my case and the friends i recommended.

Mr. Mastos, is one who you can call a magician. When he enters the courtroom, you can first be under the impression that he is intimidating. When he makes his opening statements, he is comical and eases the tension that is in the courtroom. After that, he opens his files and begins taking piece by piece of work, and paints a portrait of the facts. When it came to my sister's case, which her charges dealing with false imprisonment and cannabis, he really made the prosecutor look awful when the police report did not add up to her charges. Although she was convicted of possession of cannabis, she was given 6 months probation with no jail time. I am grateful of leaving Mr. Mastos in charge of my sister's case. I am forever indebted to him. If you want an awesome attorney who has been in practice for a long time, and was a judge, he is your man!

Attorney Mastos and his paralegal came to my aid when I was in distress over my brother. He fought long and hard for my brother who could have received 30 years, instead he was acquitted. I thank God for Mr. Mastos saving an innocent life. Of course every attorney always asks for money, but it will be a great investment if you hire him!!!!

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.
