My employee was picked up and turned over for deportation Uganda. I wanted to help & I visited two other immigration attorneys who declined to take the case as they felt she had no case. Then I contacted Jorge and his attitude was completely differrent. No promises but at least he said he would try. My employee was released on bond and 3 1/2 years later, Jorge, myself and my employee were standing on the courthouse steps holding her documents approving her green card. The case took many twists and turns but Jorge handled everything like the pro he is. I have referred several others to him and everyone has thanked me for doing so.

Mr. Castaneda is an honest , caring attorney and is very knowledgeable in his trade. I work in an inner city school, and support the student's families. We invited Mr. Castaneda to speak with our parents about the processes to earn their American citizenship. Mr. Castaneda was helpful, caring and offered the parents and students a genuine invitation to help them with their legal needs to citizenship. On the personal review, Mr. Castaneda has supported my family with legal matters, and successfully resolved our legal matters with minimal frustration of our legal process in Arizona. My family and I are very confident in his abilities as a professional, personally and in his legal expertise. We refer our family and friends to Jorge Castaneda and know they will be taken care.

Dru Nielsen is an amazing person and attorney. She really cares about people and what is going on in thier life from being falsely accused. Her experience and knowledge as a criminal defense lawyer are unlike no other. She doesn't just take the easy way she gets in and finds out everything about the case. She will fight for whats right and work tirelessly for you to ensure that you're represented fairly. I was falsely accused of domestic violence and child abuse. I knew my innocence and after my initial meeting with Dru she believed in me as well. She uncovered countless lies and misinformation in the case and was able to show the DA to avoid trial and dismiss charges against me. Dru Nielsen is a attorney that you can put your faith and trust in to get you through the toughest of times. She was always there for me when I needed her to get me through this terrible time. She really cares unlike most attorneys.

Dru Nielsen is tenured professional and a law machine. I became Dru's client after having previous legal counsel not meet my expectations. I was falsely accused of Domestic Violence. However, It was not an easy case. The case was fought on all fronts, and all opportunities for solutions were pursued. Ultimately these solutions were not amicable. Dru and her firm represented me at trial, kept expectations and consequences professional, and fought relentlessly. I was acquitted on all charges. Whether you think trial is an option or not for your situation, I would recommend Dru and her firm.

Dru Nielsen is an amazing person and attorney. Her experience and knowledge as a criminal defense lawyer are unparalleled. She will fight for justice and work tirelessly on your behalf to ensure that you're represented fairly. I was falsely accused of a horrible crime and tried the case with another attorney who told me I should just plead guilty, that I was likely going to jail and I should just hope that the court would show me mercy. I ceased working with this attorney and looked for help elsewhere. I believed in my innocence and after my initial meeting with Dru, knew she believed in me as well. She uncovered countless flaws in the case and was able to convince the DA to avoid trial and dismiss all charges against me. Dru Nielsen is a life changer and an attorney that you can put your faith and trust in to get you through the toughest of times.

I now know the process and how to go about my situation, know exactly what to do or how it's going to work. It does not seem as expensive or hard as I thought it would be. Overall a very great first experience and wouldn't mind working with in the future. It was also a lot more professional than I thought it would be being over video chat via zoom. A nice, convenient thing now days and definitely saves the trip! I am over all satisfied with the whole presentation.

Brian always explained every in and out of my court case in depth and answered any and all questions via text, phone, and in person at any time.

I have been a paralegal for over 20 years and have never needed counsel. After being in the profession for so long, I tend to be cynical about attorneys and their quality. Mr. McCalla completely restored my faith in the profession. He was attentive, answered all of my questions, gave me no B.S. and told me how it was. He responded to all of my messages and got me a deal I could get on my own (and I tried). I have taken several of his cards and plan on giving them to whomever needs legal assistance. If I could give him 7 stars I could. Hands down the best, most affordable, and competent attorney I have met in a very long time. You will have no regrets using his services.

Attorney Jessica Jackson is PHENOMENAL. I hired her late last December for a wrongful charge that was brought upon me. She helped me by constantly keeping me in the loop, calling me with new and pertinent information and made me feel comfortable. She’s extremely knowledgeable and knows what she’s doing! She got me exactly what I wanted which was for the charges to be dropped and seal! I would recommend her to everyone including my family members because I know she will take care of them. She’s awesome! You won’t regret having her represent you.

As a client of Jessica Jackson, she got me the verdict I hoped for. Mrs. Jessica Jackson-Barrows is an excellent lawyer due to her proactive attitude and attention to detail. Her knowledge of the law is stupendous, and surpasses many of her colleagues. She has experience on both sides of the law, which is a tremendous advance because she is really prepared for opposition’s strategies and tactics. Her negotiation skills are supreme, and most importantly she will not settle for anything except for absolute justice. She works well with a variety of people, and gains additional insight into the case. Her best quality is her judgment. Her decision making ensures the best possible outcome for her client. Personally, I saw a lot of her persistent, patient, and excellent public speaking skills. She was always available to answer questions. With her ability to analyze large amounts of information, and creatively come up with a solution I would highly recommend Mrs. Jessica Jackson-Barrows to everyone in need of her services.

Dan will lift your spirits and lift any legal burden from your shoulders. Let me tell you how well treated you will be if you choose Dan to represent you. First, (like us) it will probably only take the initial consultation for you to know you're in good hands. Before the end of the phone call we were already getting our payment info to retain him. Mind you, this was AFTER having already talked to 3 or 4 other attorneys in the area. (Although not necessarily bad conversations) those others didn't really dig in and get in the trenches with us like Dan did. We felt like we instantly had a friend and trusted confidante. Dan listened to everything we had to say and then went into such detail about options, expectations, and reassurances that we just knew we'd be in good hands. I've never had an experience with an attorney like that before. He's well versed, extremely intelligent, sees all the angles, potential pitfalls, and gives his honest opinions on situations and even potential situations. He's a talker for sure, (just like me lol) but you will never go away uninformed, confused about next steps or anything. It's pretty amazing because you're never treated like a number. He actually does care. That's not just what you WANT, but what you actually NEED in an attorney. He kept us abreast on updates and always set expectations. Even when the Supreme Court changed a law which instantly affected everything while we were mid-process. Dan did not give up on us. This change was unexpected and came out of nowhere, (weeks after we had already paid and Dan had put so much work into things) this new ruling literally put a stop on things. Dan could have just let that stop everything. Instead... He regrouped, didn't leave us hanging, came up with a solution and still ended up perfectly representing us. This was a business transaction, but Dan actually became a trusted friend in the end. That's extremely hard to come by these days.

I hired Dan on a recommendation from a very noble and classy family law attorney. At first I was taken back at Dan's cost which was less than expected, however he felt given the nature of the referral he would help out any way he could. Dan was nothing but forthright and clear in his predictions of how my case might go, he also advocated tremendously for everything I had hoped for in an attorney. He was accessible, kind and most of all - smart, in how he conducted business. My case was not just something in the books for him, I felt like he fought and advocated for me. Even when said and done, and Dan having completed his job, he fought to save me money on fines being handed down in haste by the judge on my case. He was as intelligent as they come, with even a little personality in there. And one thing I will say is Dan will fight for you. I am grateful for having him.

Mitch Geller defended me in an agreement dispute with a real estate company in the early 90's. He was so much better than the other attorney it was embarrassing. He won the case for me, and always advised me to keep the case in perspective. The second case he won for me was a complaint that was filed by my HOA. He was, once again, amazing in court. To watch him perform on my behalf was seriously an honor. He didn't bother me with minutiae, as I am a "micro manager". He told me to trust him, and leave the details to him. He brought up issues that I would never have thought of. He was brilliant. We won the case, hands down. No contest. I work with attorneys in my business, for my personal requirements (wills, etc) for my clients, but Mitch is who I chose to defend me the two times I had to go to court as a defendant. I would recommend him wholeheartedly. Thank you for allowing me to offer my opinion.

In 31 years of law enforcement experience, I have never seen a better trial attorney. Doug was extremely detail oriented and missed nothing. In the court room, he was able to articulately make reasonable arguments and examine witnesses thoroughly. His trial preparation was excellent and he was responsive to all of my needs and ideas. He successfully argued numerous motions hearings and was extremely knowledgeable in every area of case law that applied to my case.

He made me feel comfortable and at ease during this stressful time. His familiarity and years of experience clearly shown when we were in court and also in the hours of preparation and mediation with the other attorneys.

Mr Levy represented me in a Federal misdemeanor charge. He was very knowledgeable about Colorado and Federal law pertaining to my case. I was well informed through e-mail, phone calls and face to face throughout all of it. During court appearances Mr Levy was very professional, curtious, ambitious and ready to fight for me. This was a very stressful time as I could have lost my career license if I was charged, not to mention all the additional costs and classes I would have had to take. Mr Levy had a calming presence that was very reassuring. I feel he went above and beyond for the price he charged. He was able to get my Federal charges completely dropped! I would highly recommend Mr Levy to any one. I thought he did such a great job that I have engaged him to do some additional work on a possible bankruptcy. He has been talking with creditors and making negotiations to determine if I even need to file. Once again the personal attention to my case and the communication throughout has made a difficult situation slightly better.

Charles was referred to me by a mutual friend. He has represented me in two cases[DUI and criminal tampering]. For the first one, we got the deal that we were hoping for and the second one was dismissed. One thing that I liked about having Charles represent me was the fact that he puts aside enough time to listen to your case and any doubts/questions/opinions that you may have about the case. He is always available via email or office visit or even over the phone. He also gets to the point and the best possible ways to tackle the case rather than diverging from the issue. He doesn't beat around the bush. He charges very reasonably as well. I would highly recommend him.

I cannot think more highly of a human being than I do of Erica Anderson. She was never my actual legal representation so I can't speak to that. But what I can speak to is that Erica is a genuine, quality human being that cares about people. And she would be my first choice as a defense attorney in a heartbeat. I called almost every single law office in Denver, scared, trying to get through to anyone, leaving messages asking for legal advice. Not even for defense advice, but as to what I should do about a really scary boyfriend situation. I paid a hundred bucks just to talk to someone at a different firm for 10 minutes who said there was nothing I could do. And I kept getting back receptionist emails like "Sorry. We don't handle those types of cases, just call the police." Erica Anderson is the only person that called me back. At 6pm on a Friday. Just to help walk me through the next steps I should take. Kind of embarrassing but she probably listened to me cry for at least an hour. Erica was there for me when no one else was and gave me the confidence to move forward with prosecution. Erica Anderson, please know that I appreciate you from the bottom of my heart. And that dude is going to jail soon. Thank you.

Ms. Threet provided legal counsel for a domestic violence charge I acquired in 2006. She advised me of my legal rights and explained to me the legal process. She made sure to break down the complicated language of motions and other legal jargon that comes with being charged with any case. She is one of the most compassionate people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She is extraordinary in her understanding of the law and masterful in her application of it. She embodies more than just legal counsel, she is a warrior of the people for the people!

Attorney Cindy Threet represented me in a DUI action. She worked hard on my case and was able to get my DUI reduced to a DWAI. And when I complete my alcohol classes, community service, and probation, the case will be dismissed.

Took time out of his day to advise me on perplexing problem. Really grounded, insightful and polite. A pleasure to talk to, very calming and reassuring. While ultimately outside his practice area, which was a bummer -- would've been a pleasure to work with.

It’s with pleasure and thankfulness that I take the time to write this review for Mr. Phil Klein. He offered very professional service, outstanding counsel and best law practices in Colorado, being always ahead of deadlines and follow-up procedures, all this making the divorce process very short and effective. Right from the beginning I had a very good impression of Mr. Klein’s attentiveness and honesty; I needed someone I could trust since I was trying to perform the whole process while living in Europe! Mr. Klein gave me excellent representation at court, being as well fair to the other party. The outcome exceeded my expectations! I’m very thankful for having found this exceptional lawyer and for the excellent help provided by Monique Mountain with all the paperwork! I highly recommend Mr. Klein’s Services and wish him and his team and families many blessings!

I was facing some dire felony charges and damaging false allegations that easily could have landed me a very unfavorable outcome with the courts. Had I not trusted Michael to settle my case and press the relentless D.A. for a more appropriate deal based on important facts/arguements surrounding my case, my future would not have been so bright in the contrary. Michael Sager is a dedicated attorney that does what he says and goes to great lengths to get you the best possible results in my experience. He was upfont about everything involving my case and what to expect throughout the entire process. I trusted Michael with my future and I was not dissappointed one bit, he exceeded my expectations with the deal he got me and I would highly reccommend this lawyer to everyone facing serious legal issues. I would definitely rehire him. His costs are affordable and he's not afraid to step into the courtroom and start making changes right away. Thanks again Michael!

Sad enough to say I've dealt with a lot of lawyers in my life for more trains than I care but then I came across Michael Sager. I had no clue lawyers could actually be compassionate, driven, and dedicated to there clients. I've only known then to be sleazy, money hunger pricks. I met Michael a little over a year ago when I wss facing some very serious charges and a possible life sentence. When I interviewed him he told me "look I don't have very much experience but I'm driven and dedicated to my clients and I'll give your case the time it deserves and I won't quit fighting for what's right." Not exactly the words you want to hear your lawyer say but I took a chance and put my life in his hands and after many court dates and lots of visits to the jail Michael and I went to trial and found ourselves hearing the words "NOT GUILTY" 7 times. I can't tell you how proud I am to have this man as my lawyer and would not hesitate to hire him again. He truly saved my life and fought for justice he proved to me the justice system does work when you have a lawyer who is willing to stand up and fight. You can trust this man with your life that's a fact and I can guarantee he will fight just as hard for you as he did for me. It's just the way he is built. He doesn't know how to do it any other way. Thanks Michael I'm forever in your debt.

Lauren recently represented me in criminal court and did an amazing job. She worked with me every step of the way and was very supportive, giving me her cellphone number to call her anytime I had questions or needed to talk. Her knowledge and experience was really helpful in getting me best possible deal. I would highly recommend working with Lauren, she is an all around good person. Thanks again for all your help!

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:

  1. 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.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
