Mr. Bogost represented me in a Child Support Enforcement case. He is a very knowledgeable and caring person. He eased my mind in a really stressful situation. He is a truly good guy that knows how to get results.
I am so thankful to have had his representation and I am very pleased with the end result of my case.
I highly recommend The Law Office of Jeffrey Bogost.

Mr. Bogost was my divorce attorney. He is kind, caring and competently guided me through a very difficult time. On our very first meeting he provided practical advise and next steps. The divorce process takes longer than you would expect; he and his office kept me informed throughout. My spouse was subversive and often uncooperative; Mr. Bogost did an excellent job of keeping the process moving and did his best to limit my expenses. What I appreciated most about Mr. Bogost is that he seemed to truly care about me and my situation. He acknowledged that I was experiencing the most difficult, emotional time in my life and he was always understanding and supportive. He represented me very well in mediation, making sure my needs and concerns were heard. He even gave me sound "fatherly advice" after the final court proceeding. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Bogost.

I am more than satisfied with Jeff Bogost as my attorney, who is very personable and professional. He provided me, in detail, the process for my case, from start to finish, and answered all of my questions thoroughly. I never questioned what is going on in my case because Jeff had informed me of what to expect and he always provided status updates, including any delays, from inception through the conclusion of my case. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing an attorney, they won’t be disappointed!

I was dealing with my 3rd and 4th getting after going to prison once already. I head no clue what to expect and I thought the worse was going to happen and I'd go back to prison. I had been doing good with no issues for 6 yrs and I had a baby by that time so I was very worried about my future. I told her I didn't want to any jail time if possible and she made that happen for me I was given 7 yrs deferred probation and I was planning to get off early as well. I was satisfied with the out come. She would always answer any question I had and I could text back and forth with her very easily. She made me feel very confident. From the start her goal was get it dismissed if possible before it even went to Grand jury.I started my probation and ended up violating at about 6mth point with a serious charge and I called her first thing and she took her time to help me figure out what was going on with warrants for my arrest and I was at ease just knowing she was my lawyer. I was kept in the loop and knew what was happening every moment. I hired her again to get my violations taken care of she got me PR Bond on the warrants so I never had to sit in jail and wait not knowing and I was able to be kid the whole time.I was worried cause like I said I'm on deferred probation for 2 felonies i violated by getting an aggravated assault with deadly weapon so I have to wait on that charge still but she got my probation reinstated for now and the probation suggested I do 10 days in jail and she even got that dropped. I love Mrs Jackson seriously she made me feel confident that everything would be ok and I spoke with her so often you would think she was my best friend haha. She is very good at what she does and she was confident in the courtroom even when I know my case must have been hard to present and all for a PR Bond she did her and pulled it off. She was suggested to me by a friend and I'm so thankful he put her in my path.

I was represented by another lawyer in a misdemeanor proceeding who just wasn't taking my case seriously. I had no idea what was going on with my case, and the only time I heard from this other lawyer is when he asked for more money. I fired this guy and hired Jennifer. She immediately handle my case very quickly getting a great result for me, and her fee was very reasonable.

I hired Jennifer G. Jackson to represent me following an unexpected incident that occurred in my home. Since this was the first time I ever needed legal representation for a misdemeanor case in my life, I researched and compared numerous law firms (local, state, and nationwide). I ended up going with the Jackson Law Firm based on Jennifer's excellent track record for positive outcomes, relevant and current legal field knowledge, easy communications with timely follow ups, affordable retainer (she allowed me to make payments that fit my budget), and a realistic yet results-oriented approach. It was an amazing relief to eventually learn that my case had been dismissed and I could move on with my life! Woohoo! Plus, she's down to earth and just easy to work with. I highly recommend Jennifer G. Jackson for anybody needing this type of representation.

I was lucky enough to come across Andrew while facing a charge that didn't make sense to either of us. I knew nothing about the law and the rights I had until meeting with him. This was something that could have taken the life I knew away forever. After meeting with him and seeing how calm and certain he was, I knew then I had nothing to worry about. The proof was in black and white and he made sure that the evidence was seen without having to say a word. He assured me that we would get through this process and come out in the end being better than the ones that have done wrong. I am thankful everyday that our paths crossed and will never forget the impact his work made in my life.

Mr. Garcia handled a traffic citation for me. Not only did he get me a great deal from the prosecutor, but his fees were also very reasonable. Additionally, he kept me up to date on what was going on with my case, made sure I understood the process and was available whenever I contacted him.

I am a doctor. Myself and several of my colleagues were told we were 100% being indicted. I hired Brandon. He did a terrific internal investigation. He discovered huge problems in the government's case and was able to get me immunity on one charge (that was really a mistake but I could not prove it). And he later got the upcoming indictment totally thrown out against all of us and we just had to pay a fine. We were able to sell our practice for a healthy profit afterwards. Would have never happened had he not did what he did for us. To think where I might be right now without him and his team's help is a scary thought.

Unbelievable job. Got my criminal conviction expunged -- which is technically impossible in Texas. I'm an executive and this was very important to me. He accomplished it with some very creative and brilliant lawyering. He literally talked the judge into doing it despite there being no legal precedent for it ever. Best bill I ever paid. He also helped get another (bogus) case completely dismissed.

I definitely recommend this attorney. She helped me acquire my DACA card last year. My experience was great, and I was always treated well and taken care of at each visit. The office has wonderful staff, and are very professional. The attorney always made sure I understood everything, and her assistant always answered my questions when I called in. Also, since I couldn't pay everything at once, they worked out a payment plan for me. I will definitely come to her again in the future.

My name is Derick. I'm an ex-felon with extensive criminal back ground history. I've been recently charged with a wide range of serious felonies. I had two previous attorneys that seriously folded on me, after accepting payments 1,500- 3,000 retainer fees, wanting me to accept prison time for crimes I've didn't commit. I felt like I was doom with no one to turn to. I prayed for another attorney and was blessed with REMEKO T. EDWARDS. I went to her office for my consultation worried, upset and lost. Immediately after her consultation and advice I was relieved of all the burdens of worry. REMEKO EDWARDS was very knowledgable and experience in the law and I never felt this comfortable with explaining my situation with my two previous attorneys on these cases. REMEKA EDWARDS listens and cares what happens to her clients, and she's not there to just take your money and leave you high and dry. I recommend her to everyone with a prior felony history and checkered backgrounds. Please if you want a great attorney who will fight for you, then give REMEKA EDWARDS a call. You won't be disappointed. I will continue to update you on our progress.

I highly recommend Lalon Peale. I hired him to help my daughter who had serious assault charges against her. He was able to get her the help she needed for her mental condition and in the end have her charges reduced to misdemeanors. I will be forever grateful for the way he handled this case and the positive results because of his continuous efforts. We were never left wondering what was happening. He communicated with us every step of the way. Thank you Lalon for all you did. We are still reaping the benefits today.

We hired Nick to help us with critical litigation for our SaaS company that was creating a significant revenue lag. Nick’s approach to guiding us through the process and preparing us was thorough and instrumental to our win. My team and I all found Nick to be approachable and extremely knowledgeable. Nick also is tremendously skilled at communicating what can be hard-to-understand technical concepts. I recommend Nick and his firm highly – their collective performance saved the day for our relatively small company.

We hired Nick to help our company with a variety of legal matters and he has consistently gone above (and well beyond) everything we asked or expected. He is a consummate professional, as well as thoughtful in his dealings with people. We couldn't be more pleased with the quality of his attentiveness to us and his attention to detail in the work. He makes it a point to stay on top of even the smallest project and makes us (probably one of his smallest customers) feel like we are a Fortune company. Because of Nick, we have decided to move all of our company's legal work to him and his firm. We very highly recommend Nick. He is a great person, easy to work with, very intelligent, and gets the job done!

As the in-house attorney for my company, Mr. Kopf was always there for whatever we needed, whenever we needed it. As an all female firm, we very much appreciated his lack of condescension in all matters, legal and generally business related.
That has been quite a few years ago, but I'm certain he is the same moral, ethical, kind and responsive attorney he was then. You would be fortunate to take advantage of this man's knowledge and scruples.

Victor is a very skilled attorney who really listens to his client and gets great results. His aggressive, confident style is backed up by strong knowledge of the law and great personal skills. He's tough when he needs to be but can also stay calm in heated exchanges and keep a level head. In my case, we won a dismissal without ever having to go to trial, while other co-defendants with more timid attorneys were not as fortunate. Victor is willing to think outside the box and his ingenuity pays off. Highly recommend.

Not only he produceses results but he has been in the game long enough to answer any of your concers. He helped my brother with his case and i am sure he can do the same for you. It was a difficult case but his hard work and dedication paid off i thank you sir from bottom of my heart.

I am not familiar with the legal system and, when I found out I had a warrant out on me, I panicked. Luckily I called Toby Shook. He was on top of everything from the moment he took my case. He told me what the charge meant, what I needed to do, what he would do and what would happen every step of the way. I called him in a panic but was soon able to relax. As the process went forward, he kept me informed. And - most importantly - he cleared up my issue quickly. My position was that whole thing was a mistake. Toby Shook made sure that the legal system saw it that way too. Everything was dismissed - like it never happened.

Sean is an amazing lawyer and person. He is down to earth and always gives well thought out and genuine advice. He was there through the worst experience of my life as a doctor and helped navigate the legal system for a favorable outcome. He was always available for questions and the occasional panic call, he never made me feel like I was wasting his time. He prep was thorough and approached issues from all angles.

I used Mr. Gabriel Ogueri as my attorney on my Immigration case. I have since referred him many clients, he is an excellent attorney. I was actually referred to him after having hired an attorney from Cameroon and the secretary there referred me to him after I explained to her what a nightmare Ms. Ndoko (my former attorney) had made of my case. The secretary told me he was a very good attorney and that he would help me sort my situation out. Well she was not lying unlike my previous attorney he returned any and every call I ever made to him. He kept me informed of everything going on with my case. I am still his client and I will be forever grateful for the referral, I have found the attorney to suit all my legal needs. Mr. Ogueri handles Criminal, Immigration, Car Accident and Civil cases. The only word needed to describe his service and work is "EXCELLENT".

I hired John in August 2016 for my divorce after having retained another attorney from this site in March 2016 for my divorce case. John was referred to me by an attorney at work. On our initial consultation I was looking to switch attorneys because of having a simple divorce case with a irregular retirement division which my first attorney made very complicated. John was presented with the same information I provided to the first attorney and he understood what I was wanting to achieve right away. He gave me three possible solutions with the pros and cons and advised as to my request not the norm. John said I was being very generous, but knew my intent was to do the right thing. We only met the one time and as of 11-4-16 I am divorced and was the result we wanted from the beginning with decree and a retirement QDRO.
I would highly recommend John and will be referring him when people ask. I think a personal reference is the best review source to find an attorney to meet you need.

My minor son had 3 separate criminal charges pending in Denton at the same time. Ryan was able to negotiate a plea that dropped all charges except the least serious one, and got him probation on that one. When my son reoffended and had a probation revocation hearing, Ryan got the jail time reduced from 6 months to only 20 days, with credit for each arrest date. Ryan once worked as a prosecutor in Denton, so he knows the ropes and knows the prosecutors. He works well with them, but he is prepared to go to trial if he can't get a good enough deal.

I have just been released on 2nd degree Felony. All charges dismissed. John Michael Pool had managed to understand a difficult and complex case that involved State Authorities in California feeding Texas D.A. with evidence they knew was coached.
John is my court appointed attorney. After being released, i will be securing a retainer even though from the appearance of his website, they are sometimes not needed.
I still cant believe the charges were dismissed because in todays Legal world, no detainee ever gets released from Child Abuse charges that are false. The D.A. was an Alpha type of guy, John is Brainy and Sharp and was able to demonstrate to the Authorities, they had the wrong guy.
It was sad to see many other innocent men being lead to conviction by their court appointed attorneys.

You cannot put a price on liberty. My experience is that Mike is a well connected in the system. It should be noted that as an Adjunct Professor at SMU Law School, he has taught more than a few of the DAs in the area. He is able to get things done.
The best attribute of having Mike as my representation was his ability to manage my expectations and not make false promises. He is a straight shooter that lays out your options. His background, as a law professor, makes him very good at simplifying complex legal concepts.

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.
