I was told by many clients and friends that Greg always was able to get their case dismissed. That is exactly what happened with mine! Greg is very experienced, , has worked in the court system for years and knows exactly how to respectfully proceed with all the legal personnel., and required steps of the process. I would therefore recommend Greg for any of your criminal defense needs. . He took great care of mine!!!

When our son was arrested for very serious charges, and facing the prospect of decades in prison, I called a family friend who is an attorney. He said that without hesitation, if his son were in a similar situation and his life depended on it, he would recommend Trent Trani.
From our initial phone consultation, it was clear that Trent would be our choice. We immediately hired Trent to represent our son. Everything about him is professional. He is attentive, calm and understanding. His conversations with us were always relevant and on-point.
Trent quickly saw that our son was wrongfully charged by a presumptuous, overzealous prosecutor and that there were meaningful inconsistencies between witness statements. He laid out a clear strategy for our son’s defense. He worked closely with an investigator who interviewed witnesses and uncovered the details of the case in anticipation of trial.
In the course of preparation for the case, Trent was never flustered or impatient. He communicated with us regularly about the progress of our case and was receptive to both our son’s and our perspectives. He addressed every one of our concerns.
Trent is sharp, credible, and highly confident, all attributes which we knew would be vital should the case proceed to trial. Ultimately, Trent was able to use his legal knowledge, coupled with his legal relations and understanding of the court process, to negotiate a very favorable plea deal.
As we faced the nightmare of being unexpectedly entangled in the legal system, and the possibility of losing our son, Trent was our calm through the storm. We are eternally grateful.

I had to take a few minutes to let everyone know just how great of a job Trent did on our injury case. My wife and I were in a horrible accident in 2021 and we received a recommendation to contact the Trani law firm and boy are glad we did. Trent and his staff helped us by taking care of everything with the defendant's insurance company, but not just that when our medical insurance found out that the injuries to my wife were caused by the accident and that we were not at fault they wanted to be reimbursed. That was frightening to us, but they contacted and negotiated with them and took care of the issues. Then he continued working on our case against the defendant's insurance company and finally got us an amazing settlement. That settlement has allowed us to feel much more comfortable in our retirement. We can't thank him and his team enough for all their hard work We highly recommend Trani law to everyone.

I recently received a DUI and decided to ask Trent for representation because I’ve only heard the most positive things of him and his firm. He’s kept me fully informed on everything going on and doesn’t sugar coat anything. Anytime I’ve had any concern or question he’s quick to respond with no b.s. and is straight to the point. Couldn’t be more grateful with my decision to ask him to represent me as I would do again as needed. I fully recommend anyone who has been in a similar situation to give him a call as you will not regret your decision doing so.

Extremely professional and effective law firm. Christina was constantly talking to me about the case and any updates that she had. She was able to reduce my case from an original deal of 3 months incarcerated to 45 days of house arrest due to the research she did on me and her ability to show the court the ways in which I have vastly changed since the beginning of my case. Would recommend to anyone that is going through something similar.

Simply put, Mr. Bedard collected all the information he needed to present a solid case for me. We faced a tough DA who wanted to throw the book at me. Mr. Bedard was able to sway the DA in the end by getting them to look at the bigger picture resulting in a better outcome. I would ask Mr, Bedard for support again if I ever need it.
I have had a clean driving record for over 20 years.
Details: 12pt ticket for speeding
DA offer: 11pt ticket
Resolution: 6pt speeding and 2pt faulty vehicle

I had reached out to Cameron in a panic after a family arrest – He had responded the same day and assured me he would help me investigate things. After an actual consultation, we decided to move forward using Camerons council, and we are so glad we did. He is on the lookout for you as his client, and keeps communicative the whole time. His out of the box thinking to our sensitive case was brilliant and easy! As a bonus, we learned something along the way. I would also like to mention that as someone who was watching budget closely, Cameron was absolutely fair! I couldn’t thank him enough for his help and would recommend him to anyone who asks!

Not only did he make the entire process easier for me, but he gave me the confidence and support that I was looking for. All in all, having him was a great relief.

Originally I started with a lawyer where when we showed up to the first court appearance the Judge shut us out didn’t let that attorney speak, and didn’t want to hear anything she had to say! I’m so glad she chose to transfer the case to Jessica Lasky. This amazing attorney came in like super woman throwing blows to the entire court system. Fortunately she is well experienced with the DA and knows a lot of things that normal attorneys aren’t familiar with. Everything started in early August and by Late November I had my life and freedom back forever. Thank you so much to this amazing staff who taught me the reason why it is beneficial to have a outstanding Law Firm on your side. Honestly there’s not enough words in this universe to explain the amount of gratitude I have for these wonderful people. The service and communication with everyone is on point definitely recommending them to anyone in need of a Great Law Firm. I wish you all well, and again Thank you so much!

Ann successfully handled my collaborative divorce this year. She demonstrated a thorough knowledge and understanding of the issues involved and was skillful in explaining concepts to a layman with little experience in this area. She kept me regularly informed regarding all the developments in my case and was an excellent advocate for me when I was unable to be one for myself. It was clear the other professionals involved in the case enjoyed working with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a collaborative attorney and will absolutely use her again.

I hired Mr. Suro on a personal injury case. The insurance company of the person at fault significantly undervalued my claim. David was able to get me over four times what they initially offered. It took a couple of years, but he stayed on them for a very satisfactory result. He kept me posted on the progress of the claim at regular intervals and was very professional. Once the insurance company paid, he had my money to me in less than a week. Highly recommended.

I was David's client for two years while we navigated through a frustrating and tedious personal injury case. It was immediately clear that David knew what he was doing in the legal sense, but also understood the personal aspect to a life changing event like a major personal injury. He was by my side the whole time and became something like a partner very quickly. I always felt like we were "in it together".
He went out of his way to ensure I understood the process, what would happen next, and what his recommended strategy was each step of the way. Additionally, he went out of his way to make sure my wife was included, also knew what to expect, etc. - he is clearly a good family man who understands what life changing events can do to a family. Ultimately, we reached a favorable closure to my case, and I credit David as the reason why.
I would strongly recommend David Suro from the bottom of my heart to anyone needing an attorney. He is truly outstanding!!

Mr. Silver is very knowledgeable of State, Federal, and Municipality laws. I came to him with what should’ve been simple cases but instead were complex and very frustrating. He took the time to discuss the nature of the cases and different outcomes. He went above and beyond for my daughter and I and both of our cases were dismissed. Unfortunately this is not possible for everyone, but if you are looking for an attorney who knows the legal system, I recommend Mr. Silver.

Both Mr. Mccallin and Mr. Hebet are extraordinary attorneys. I had the pleasure of being represented by Mr. Mccallin. His knowledge, abilities and intelligence is unlike any attorney I have seen. He was previously a prosecutor which gives him the experience of being on both sides of the law. He is an amazing trial lawyer as well so rest assure justice will be served if you are represented by him.

I endorse Robert Driscoll. I have known Robert for over 35 years. Robert and I are very close friends. When he visits El Paso, Texas, he will always stay at my home. I am aware of his past problems which he has long ago successful overcome.

When asked I without hesitation recommend Robert because I know he is very capable, ethical, intelligent and hardworking attorney with his client’s best interest in mind at all times.

One of our children was almost dead from drug and alcohol abuse and had criminal problems as well. Robert was a Godsend -- he responded immediately, was very knowledgeable about the issues and the people involved in the potential prosecution, and eased our minds with true expertise and human compassion. I have rarely met a more caring and wise attorney. We have had occasion to refer several people with such problems to Robert, and have received thanks and outstanding comments about Robert's abilities and results. I have seen him help many people with criminal or professional issues, including drug and alcohol issues, and would highly recommend him to anyone with a problem with criminal charges. See further comments in the professional review section.

Having had an issue with my employer, I contacted numerous "big" firms in Denver. When I mentioned my employer, nobody wanted to assist but many recommended "small, independent" firms. Finally, I contacted Atty Rathod. He had me come in, and listened to my situation. He was matter of fact and said he would look into it and get back to me. Within two (2) weeks he called to say he would take the case, on a contingency basis. (This indicated he was thoughtful and believed in my case.) Some time later, he called to say he wished to bring in another law firm (The best for my particular situation -Sawaya.) Four (4) years later, the first of two (2) legal actions has been resolved in my favor.
Atty Rathod and the firm Rathod Mohamedbhai LLC are there for people who have a case and need the best representation. This "small, independent" firm has grown in stature because they will represent the common man against whomever, large company or municipality. He investigates, does not sugar coat or paint rosey pictures. When necessary, they find the best to assist them, fees not being the motivator .
Generous with his time, accessible and concerned. In the four (4) years since I first met Atty Rathod, he and his firm have had great success defending "the little man" in many cases (some rather high profile) in the Denver area. If Atty Rathod is not interested in your situation, quite possibly you don't have a case.
I will be forever grateful to Atty Rathod for his willingness to listen.

Chris was our families lawyer for many years. He made sure to inform us regarding the cost of his services and cautioned us when we were pushing for things that would cost us more and have no benefit to us at all. He is straight forward about the law and about our chances of success in any situation. It's not all about the money with Chris and that is why I would recommend him to others. I know that they will get quality care, solid advice, and good value for their money.

I hired Mr Johnson to handle sealing my court record. Being out of state I didn't want to try and do this myself, boy was that a good decision! Although the law was on our side the Assitant DA was not and took a fairly easy situation and made it his life's mission not to seal my 1985 felony charge. Mr Johnson defended every argument the DA had with multiple court hearings and In the end due to the over and above efforts of Mr Johnson my 1985 felony charge was sealed and I can now live the rest of my life without explaining something that happened 30 years ago when I was just a young adult!
Thank you sir!

A few years back I was confronted with a legal problem not of my doing. I received several referrals one of which was Steve Feder. Having never been in this situation before I was frightened, bewildered and angry. Steve helped me to better understand the situation, the court system and prepared me for the hearing. While this was my first time in court I had worked with many attorneys in the past primarily through my work as a compliance officer in financial services and as a business owner. The one thing that really stood out to me was that Steve listened and offered suggestions. Unfortunately, many prior dealings with attorneys I was too often told what I could not do, rather than what I could do. I found Steve to be fair, ethical and knowledgable. He went out of his way to make certain my wife and I knew what we were facing. The hearing was quickly dismissed by the judge.

Steve was recommended to me by an ex-SEC lawyer in private practice. Absolutely the best lawyer I could have had during the 2 years it took to grind through the process for a civil matter. He knew all the players in Denver and he knew how to respond to every game played by the other side. When he felt it was required, he had the contacts to bring other law firms to help with the case. When they went shopping for what they felt was a more favorable jurisdiction, he was prepared to travel across the country to defend my case. Fought for every small detail and handled the final mediation. Would recommend him to anyone who needs a litigator/fighter on their side.

It's not a day go by that I don't think of Tae D. He became part of our family. I was told my case would be very hard to win and that we should get a court appointed attorney. My husband came to this country to work and provide for our family here and abroad but one night our lives changed forever. He was accursed of sexual assault on the job. I was scared and lost. My husband went to jail for the first time in his life. I called around to friends for advice and this name kept coming up...Tae Darnell. I called and that's when the magic started to happen. Tae got My husband out of jail, he gave us the name of his private investigator, we met constantly and he even brought on 2 more attorneys. This was a hard case, she was white he was black-African and we were in an all white area...I seriously just wanted to give up. But not Tae, he say said trust me...my team and I will get you guys out of this horrible mess. And he they did. The truth came out. She wanted money from the company we worked for. But we won!!! and the she ended up having to pay us $250,000. We haven't seen the money but we have our life back. Honestly if it wasn't for Tae D I would not have gotten my life back.
Thanks Tae

Steve is very knowledgeable especially with respect to details within the LAW. I was initially charged in 2003 with an F2 possession of drugs and with respect to the Laws of Colorado and knowledge of such, I received a misdemeanor charge only to avoid a trial in which I would have been cleared. I turned my life around since then and people need to know there are attorneys that work for the client. STEVE ALONZI is a class act and will be up front and honest with the client and DESERVES the same in return he has earned that through reputation. Steve I still owe you one in my book....THANK YOU

Kyle is that rare type of individual who goes the extra mile, though he doesn’t have to. I hired Kyle to help my navigate a DUI case. He was extremely professional, punctual and accessible. He always kept me up-to-date on where the case was, educated me on how the system works, and prepared me for court interactions. He truly cares about people and believes they should get the best representation possible. I can not imagine going through that process without him! I highly recommend!!!

Chris Michael, the attorney I've worked close with various times is second to none at what he does; as well as being timely, efficient, and an all around incomparably knowledgable legal mind. Could not recommend more!

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.
