My case was very complex, beyond scary for me and in a different state (not in GA). I came across Foss and his firm when doing a search for sexsomnia. From the minute that we started speaking he made me feel understood, heard and started putting me at ease. His partners were amazing as well. Their methodical approach was world class and I found Foss's practical intelligence to only be surpassed by his emotional intelligence. His understanding of the people involved in the case, that he never even met, was uncanny. Foss and his partners were able to secure a complete exoneration in short order and get me my life back.

Foss was very thorough in everything he did from investigation to validating facts to learning the personalities of the court and DA. He obviously had learned much over his years in practice and had a plan, but was not so rigid that he did not adjust with the situation. Always thinking ahead, he was prepared for different possibilities in each instance. A very intelligent gentleman who used good manners and remained calm at every turn. He was interested in hearing our input about the case and answering any questions we had. He communicated, even over communicated, to make sure we understood. Although the case was long, he was just as engaged at the end as at the beginning. We felt like we mattered to him as people and not just another win he could chalk up. We hope to never need his services again, but wouldn't hesitate a moment to engage him if the need arose.

After some searching, I found Foss Hodges and set up a time and an interview. Foss wanted to meet the entire family and the friends anyone who could show up, Foss began to introduce himself and more importantly wanted to know about me and my family. Foss cared it was the first time I had spoken to someone who wanted to actually hear from my family and was willing to speak with them about the case to help ease any confusion we may have. Also, a huge plus was he wanted to work with experts, and he had some of his own including wanting to give the one I had in mind a call and to at least learn with them. Foss gave us a checklist to do with everything he needed and as well as anything we thought would help him in any way. Then we went to work, we were a team working towards one goal and that was to prove my innocence and to put my family back together. Foss Hodges first act of business is very unique, it's to stop and indictment if it hasn’t been indicted already. He states very clearly, I can't promise you anything but the fact I will give you the best effort and I am going to put in the work. Any lawyer that tells you they can promise you a dropped case or an innocent verdict is something to pay attention to because that is not a thing. Foss then asks me to take a polygraph and then came to my house personally to do a walk through and see my house and exactly how the incident transpired. Foss took the extra steps to fully understand what happened and educated himself about the step by step instead of just taking my statement and that’s it. Foss wants to be there and see it with his own eyes, then after that he wants to try to meet the District Attorney to stop the Indictment if possible. We waited a year and a half it felt like before the DA responded to him then she would talk about meeting and then leave the office and someone else would get the case, or it would be “lost” for a few months then a new DA would take it and not respond to him all over again. Foss was persistent and never stopped with the correspondence to try to get a meeting to show the binder he built with all of his hard work and the expert testimonies with the polygraph test and all the Character reference letters with photos of the family and all. Foss kept my family updated and was very frequent with phone calls and if you had a rough time, you could just call him to talk, he was there for me and my wife in a time where we didn’t know what to do. Foss fought for my life for 3 years he won a bond modification to get me home to my family then 8 months later he went on to meet with the DA over my case and she dropped all charges over a six-minute phone call with my wife. Foss Hodges gave me my life back I have never seen anyone care or work so hard for anyone in my life, he was exceeding and doing things every lawyer I worked with before was just not there. I would trust Foss hodges with my life again and I am telling you if you are uncertain about the situation you are in and if you are reading this, I know your scared like I was. Please just give him a call and at the very least listen to what he has to say let him hear your story and then let him work for you like he did for me. He can't promise you the same outcome as me but that’s what he told me too and here I am writing this review after being free from the nightmare with a healthy family working on my master's because of this man. I owe him my life.

I worked with this Law Firm after an accident in November 2023. From the moment I contacted them, they got right to work, promptly starting my treatment plan. While I initially experienced some delays with my first caseworker, everything changed when my second caseworker Paula was assigned. They were absolutely amazing, organized, efficient, and truly dedicated to my case.
Even when I was a bit difficult to work with at times, they handled everything with professionalism and care, ensuring I was always informed and supported. Their hard work and persistence made all the difference in my experience. I’m very grateful for their efforts and would highly recommend the Orlando Firm to anyone in need of legal assistance after an accident.

When you call a lawyer it’s because there are some really troubling circumstances in your life. Speaking with Roger Orlando not only reassured me that I was going to prevail but I was incredibly pleased at how quickly he followed up with me and stayed right on top of all the details. I recommend him highly.

This law firm is by far the best. My lawyer was Grace Starling. Her guidance, professionalism, understanding, and hardwork was phenomenal. I was very fortunate and blessed to have her fighting in my corner. I was definitely overwhelmed, but Grace handled it all with so much poise. She worked diligently to make sure what I received was fair, and something I was satisfied with, and honestly more than what I expected. I would recommend Grace Starling, and Radford Scott Law firm to everyone. Thank you guys for making it a pleasant experience for me.

I hired this firm to handle a wrongful termination case, and it was a complete disaster. They initially assured me they would fight for my rights, but after taking my case, they went silent. I rarely received updates, and when I asked about the progress, I got vague answers and no real plan of action.
After more than a year of inaction, they suddenly dropped my case, claiming they couldn’t represent me anymore—right when deadlines were approaching. Their lack of professionalism and communication wasted valuable time and put my entire case in jeopardy.
This firm is unreliable, inattentive, and does not prioritize their clients. If you need an employment lawyer, look elsewhere."

I had an excellent experience working with Mark Stephens after my car accident. He was professional, knowledgeable, and always kept me in the loop. He handled everything—from paperwork to dealing with insurance—effortlessly and got me a fair settlement quickly. I felt supported and confident throughout the process. If you need a reliable car accident attorney, I highly recommend!

Can’t stress how incredible Paola Torselli has been from start to finish in dealing with my law case From the beginning, Ms. Torselli was extremely informative and explained the process to me as a whole and how we would go about the case. Over time, she kept me up to date and informed about where we were at in the order of things, and ultimately got the result that was a Win. Ms. Torselli was wonderful to work with and I cannot recommend her enough, thank you so much Ms. Torselli.

I owe my life to her. I couldn’t get any job that I was doing before this case because I couldn’t be trusted. I was struggling since 2019 to make ends meet. My lawyer fell out of the sky to rescue me. She stayed in contact with me throughout it all and anytime I reached out to her, I was responded to fast and with care. She got my case DISMISSED after all these years. I can never thank her enough. I don’t have this hanging over my head anymore.

An attorney friend recommended Roger Krause - calling him “the smartest man I know.”
My family quickly found that he was right. Besides being EXTREMELY clever-I found Mr. Krause (and his staff) to be fair, honest and VERY responsive.
This is the office you want on your side in any dispute. They will not forget about you and will work diligently to get things done.
My family received immediate attention from Mr. Krause and his staff and more assistance and kindness than we could have ever hoped for.
In this field, experience means everything and we were so thankful that they knew their stuff.
Our family cannot thank this law firm enough for their good work.

When you find yourself navigating court systems and it relates to the thing most if us value most -family- you want an attorney who is transparent, communicative and supportive. Most importantly, you want an attorney to prioritize your best interests and advocate for you. Stephen Berk absolutely met and exceeded my expectations. He is efficient, thorough, responsive and makes situations that could be very painful much easier. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this firm!

I hired Mike to handle an administrative matter to terminate probation based on new legislation allowing such an action. I wasn't sure what the outcome would be so the matter was a little speculative, but turned out to be money very well spent. He was able to handle the prosecutor's concerns and obtained consent order to terminate my case. In addition he was able to secure the sealing of my record and order to seal in the same effort. The fixed price legal fee was very reasonable.

I had a really odd situation where a couple old tickets from over a decade ago came back to hurt my driving record and I didn't know what to do. I had the pleasure of finding Mike Maloof Jr.'s profile after a quick Google search and, after explaining everything, Mike was able to handle my case(s) with the utmost efficiency and knowledge of the law, resolving everything in less than a week. I would highly recommend The Maloof Law Firm to anyone in any sort of legal bind.

I don't know where to start nor can I find the words to thank Mr. Hodges and his colleagues and Firm for their swift and rapid response to false accusations brought against me in conjunction with a divorce. From the moment I contacted Mr. Hodges' firm, a call was returned same day after business hours to take information to understand the situation and discuss my case. This was followed by a succession of calls and emails and meetings followed by execution of the recommended plan moving forward until the case was resolved in my favor. His office was quick to return calls and emails no matter if they were during or after business hours. He and his team each gave me their cell phone numbers and encouraged to reach out if I had any questions or needed to discuss anything. Mr. Hodges and his team were very organized and knew exactly what needed to be done and thought outside of the box and were relentless in proving my innocence and resolving my case. Every time an email or call came from him or his office, it made me happy and not afraid to answer it as I knew I was in GREAT hands. He under promised and over delivered and exceeded my expectations at every corner. Thank you so much Mr. Hodges and team!

Mr. Hodges was a God send in one of the most difficult times in my life. When I first spoke to him I was completely devastated. The unique circumstances of my case were very difficult to discuss but Foss truly went the full distance to assure me, my family and friends that I would have the support I needed and put me at ease. Foss made me feel like I had someone who truly believed in me, especially when I didn't. In spite of the unique circumstances of my case Foss had all the incite, the confidence and strength I lacked when I needed it. Now, I consider him a friend. He is one of the best Men I have ever known. I truly don't know how he does this job, I certainly know I couldn't but I am very, very glad to have found him.
He was extremely sensitive to my specific situation and was my navigator through a very dark time. I truly don't know how I would have gotten through this time without his council and his patience. His expertise was invaluable. He took the time to learn all the details of my situation and really provide the absolute best care and provision for my defense. He stuck by me after several years of litigation and in the ups and downs was always there. My advice to you, the one who may be facing some difficult circumstance, is this. Obtaining the right council can be one of the most critical decisions you will make in your life. To anyone who is seeking council, I would highly recommend Mr. Hodges's services. I can't say enough how grateful I am for having his representation. You will not regret it. God know I am glad to know him.

With pleasure I write this review for Mr. Alex Merritt, Partner, DeWoskin Law Firm, LLC. Mr. Merritt provided competent, efficient and responsive legal advice and service for the positive resolution and outcome of my case. Should I need legal services in the future (which I hope will not be necessary), Mr. Merritt would be my “first call” – as I know that he would, again, provide expert legal representation.

Alex Merritt has recent experience as an ADA in Dekalb County, so he knows how that system works and what point of view an ADA for Dekalb County will have. He is persistent and persuasive. He got all my charges dropped without a hearing within a month of hiring him, when my previous attorney did not get that done in the 3 months I had him. He also will not make promises he cannot keep, unlike many criminal defense attorneys.

Speaking with Roger Orlando not only reassured me that I was going to prevail but I was incredibly pleased at how quickly he followed up with me and stayed right on top of all the details. I recommend him highly.

I worked with this Law Firm after an accident in November 2023. From the moment I contacted them, they got right to work, promptly starting my treatment plan. While I initially experienced some delays with my first caseworker, everything changed when my second caseworker Paula was assigned. They were absolutely amazing, organized, efficient, and truly dedicated to my case.
Even when I was a bit difficult to work with at times, they handled everything with professionalism and care, ensuring I was always informed and supported. Their hard work and persistence made all the difference in my experience. I’m very grateful for their efforts and would highly recommend the Orlando Firm to anyone in need of legal assistance after an accident.

When hiring an attorney you have to know the right questions to ask as if you were in a job interview being interviewed by someone.
After talking with Ms Daniels I found out that we were in agreement about a lot of things.
She is very up and above board and very trustworthy and confident.
I have full trust in her and I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.
She handled my case expeditiously.

I took out a TPO to protect myself per the polices request, and I felt I needed legal counsel. I had never been through any thing like this, and I was scared. I called Attorney Daniel's office, and she answered the phone personally. She was in court, and she asked if I would call her office and leave my name and phone number. She said I will call you as soon as I leave court. So, I called her office, and the person who answered the phone listened to me and said Attorney Daniels will take care of you. For some reason, I hung up the phone knowing I had made the right call. Attorney Daniels did call me as soon as she left court. I prayed to God that I would find the right attorney, and I did.
Attorney Daniels listened to me, my side of the story and went to work advocating on my behalf. She gave me her personal cell number and was always available to either talk or reply via texting, which is almost unheard of. Through this process, I learned how a attorney should treat a client, and that is with mutual respect and understanding. Not only did she advocate on my behalf, but she also gave me guidance through the entire process, which in turn gave me options in the outcome. She explained what to expect, what might happen and her intentions with representation.
With her honesty and my best interest from the start, I just knew in my heart I had chosen the right attorney. I understood that she believed in me and would do her best to advocate on my behalf as possible. There could have been several different outcomes in this situation, however, Attorney Daniels listened to my capabilities overall, and the end results were the best possible for me. I never felt alone during the entire process.
Sincerely,
TS

Mrs. Daniels has been a true blessing sent from above for my husband and I. Last year we were both falsely accused of felony crimes that we did not commit. Imagine being 4 months pregnant and being arrested and taken to jail with no priors, it was a nightmare experience and I feared for the health of my unborn child.
From the first time I spoke with Attorney Daniels she gave me the peace and confidence I needed to know she was going to handle this case for us and help us get our lives back. Not only was she very instrumental and successful in getting all the erroneous charges dropped against us she is also helping us in seeking justice for the crimes that were ironically committed against us.
She has been professional from the start, very real, and not just about the money but genuinely caring about our situation. She demonstrates that by her promptness in correspondence, she returns calls if she’s not answering the first time you call. She provided us with her personal cell, and with that she texts us updates about our case and answers any questions we have.
Of all of this it’s the personal touch that has meant the most to me. If there was ever a time I was having anxiety about my case and wanted to come in and talk about it, she has always allowed me, and for that I’m forever grateful!
If you want a lawyer who has the knowledge and experience on both sides of the fence, one who cares about your situation and not just your money, then Attorney Jennifer Daniels is the one you need to hire. Don’t waste another minute with those other guys!

My wife and I were more than impressed w/ Mr. Berk. Being from out of state, calling to retain on short notice, he took the time to speak w/ me about my civil litigation issue.

Bob Ruben along with partner Doug Peters were incredible! I was falsely accused of molesting my 4 yr old daughter by a jealous ex and they fought hard for the truth and won my case. What mattered most to me is that they genuinely cared about my case and what I was going through. Bob was always there to answer my questions, patient, understanding, compassionate, honest and loyal. He didnt just tell me what I wanted to hear but what I needed to hear.
Watching Bob work on the case pretrial was impressive in itself but watching him in action during the trial was incredible! He was well prepared during his direct and cross and in my opinion completely annihilated the state. He was likeable to the jury and hit on perfect points with each witness that took the stand for both the states side and ours to ensure the jury saw the truth.
Now a free man and seeking full custody of my daughter, I will always hold Bob dear to my heart for getting my life back and my daughters. He didnt just treat me as a client but as family.

I contacted Peters, Rubin and Sheffield about the defense of my grandchild. I talked to Foss Hodges. My grandchild had been charged with Shaken Baby Syndrome which had become murder along with several other charges. After giving Foss the history of the charges that had been filed Foss set up an appointment for our family members with Robert Rubin, Dick Peters and him self to discuss the aspects of the case and how to proceed. They were very willing to listen to our concerns and addressed each and every one of them. They kept us well informed as to their progress in revealing the facts about what had actually happened in our case. As their investigation went forward several meetings were held to keep us informed. I was totally impressed with their expertise down to the smallest aspects of the case and the importance of them. They reveled to us the prosecutions view of what had happened. I believe most important they found out what didn't happen that should have happened. All of their knowledge and hard work along with the impeccable expert witnesses they provided at trial resulted in not guilty verdicts. Robert and Foss showed concern not only for my grandchild but our family also. I cannot express how pleased and thankful my family are for Robert Rubin and Foss Hodges and the members of their team. We most highly recommend them for your legal needs.

Bob met with me the Sunday after getting out of jail. He was very professional and did not have to take on my case. He really seemed to care. He takes his job seriously and works his hardest to get the best possible outcome for your case. His partners at his firm are also stand-up men. I would never go to anyone but Bob... but first, I would stay out of trouble. He has received many awards and believes in justice for his clients.
When first meeting with Bob and after explaining everything about my case, he told me specifically, "Let me worry about this and you do everything you can to go on with your life positively." He really relieved my stress to a minimal, which I had a lot of stress, knowing that he was going to represent me.
My charges were dismissed thanks to Bob.

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.
