I spoke to Page today, and she was SUPER helpful in the 23 minutes we talked. I felt like I learned the ins and outs about a process I am VERY unfamiliar with and it was easy to be honest about the situation and I felt like I was valued and seen for my needs. Regardless of the outcome or if my case needs more legal representation, I would 10/10 recommend her based off of this experience, and will also tell friends, if the need should arise, to work with her.

I wanted to share a thank you for the genuine commitment to me as I went through my divorce. When someone, like yourself, makes sure to understand a situation and provide counsel, solutions, and comfort it makes all the difference. I needed confidence as I was pretty beat down at that point and you helped me have that. It was important for me to let you know that. Gratefully!

Rochlin Law Firm was amazing. After my accident I reached out to two law firm's about filing a case. After being turned down by both I reached out to Rochlin law Firm. From our first conversation Pam, demonstrated such compassion, care and support for the situation I was currently in and for what I endured in the months ahead of me. I knew Pam was in my corner and she had my back every step of the way leading up to the compensation I was awarded. She always kept me informed, and up to date in all aspects of my case. I’ve not only been privileged to acknowledge her as my lawyer, I am honored to call her a friend.

If you're reading this review, something unfortunate and unfair has taken place in your life or to someone you love. So, foremost, I wish you didn't need to be looking for a lawyer. And, if you've stumbled on this note, you're dearly close to experiencing a critical level of care related to your harmful injury via Pam's expertise, thoughtfulness, and advocacy. From September 2023 to January 2025, Pam Rochlin- and her incredible team- supported me in my process of recovery due to a dog bite attack. Nothing prepared me for the physical, emotional, social, and financial implications of my injuries. Thankfully, Pam and her team were present for every step of my experience with patience and understanding, plus a thoughtfulness and clarity to every communication. From a very difficult experience that has re-shaped my life, Pam's steadfast and brilliant work on behalf of my family and I is its own positive life changing impact.

Another lawyer, who is a family friend, strong recommended that I hire Tim. During our first meeting, he was able to explain the charges and what needed to be done before my next court date. He talked to me like a friend and used non-legal terms to explain the issues and our options. I was very happy with the outcome and can highly recommend his office.

Recently had a custody and child support battle with the mother of my nine year old daughter. As biased as Minnesota Courts are against fathers, I went into this battle very discouraged already. Derk Schweiger was amazing in court, and I felt that because of his professional demeanor, articulateness, and sheer brilliance in court, the judge was able to see where I was coming from, and my life situation, my desire to better myself as a man, and my desire to be a father. The judgment was more than fair, and I was very happy that I chose Derk to be my lawyer. I have referred him to several people, and if need be, I will definitely call upon him again. He was professional, organized, clever, and not as expensive as other lawyers in the metro area. Thanks again! -Ryan Wagner

I would suggest reaching out to Neff Law Firm if you are in need of an Employment Attorney. I have been extremely impressed with the Neff Law Firm's thorough and intentional approach to gathering facts for my case. Their process has helped me better understand the importance of making sure every detail is accurately documented. I appreciated how the entire staff was actively involved in my case, reaching out to me whenever they needed information or updates. Working with Fred over the past several months has confirmed that I chose the right attorney. He is deliberate, compassionate, and attentive during our meetings, allowing me to see my case more clearly. Fred helped me understand not only the legal aspects but also the impact of the situation, giving me confidence that I was treated unfairly and that my case was valid. I highly recommend the Neff Law Firm if you are looking for an attorney who takes the time to listen, focuses on the details, and truly prioritizes you as a person.

I hired Tamara Caban Ramirez to help me with my application for naturalization. I hired her and I was her client. She stated she would write a letter for the application as well. She told me that she needed full flat fee plus the cost of the initial consultation to start working on the case. I paid her $2200 when I met with her in early September and then delivered to her the documentation, including my passport, money orders, birth certificate and the application. Initially, I was optimistic because she told me what she was going to do to try to help me. After the initial meeting in September, I couldn't get a hold of her. I would call, email, but to no avail. This lasted into October. The first week of October, she finally had her receptionist tell me she was getting the application out. I followed up a week later, again via emails and calls but there was no response. .At the end of October, I sent an email indicating I no longer wanted her services (still didn't hear back) and then again in early November, I sent an email and certified letter firing her again. The following day, she contacted me stating that she just sent in the application, even after I fired her. I was able to stop the documents at the post office because with all that had not happened, I felt I needed to see the documents. And they were wrong. Originally, she told me she was going to hire a translator to certify my birth certificate and it would cost $60.00. I discovered she herself translated it but indicated in the application it was a marriage certificate, not a birth certificate. She used white out on pages and used pen to fill in numbers--you could still see the mistakes underneath the white out. There was candy stuck at the back of the application. There was also no letter, which I mainly hired her for. Currently, I am trying to get back my passport and other documents and a refund. I also feel I should receive a majority of the monies back since she didn't do anything that I hired her for. She will not respond to any of my emails or calls. In conjunction with not doing what I hired her for and being lied to, I didn't like it that Tamara sent off the application after I fired her and indicated to the USCIS that they should contact her if they had any questions.

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.
