When Robert Johnson wrote and recorded Crossroads in 1936, he would have been well served to do a deep dive on the devil he was about to meet before selling his soul. Nowadays, Crossroads Investigations can do that for you, by locating anyone, anywhere and give you the information you need before making a deal with them, lending them money, having them watch your kids, investing in one of their their projects, or for any other myriad reasons you need to pull back the curtain to reveal the true man or woman behind the curtain. CI is beyond great; they are terrific. Fast, efficient, detail oriented, and courteous. I give them 5 stars and my highest recommendation.

My family and I needed a probate attorney. We needed to settle my mother’s estate after she passed away. I looked for a probate attorney and they never got back with me after leaving several messages and I had to keep calling. When I did received a call back they did not explain the process just told me what their fee was and I had to pay it upfront. Needless to say I seek help from someone else. I called Mr. Lorenzo on a Saturday afternoon and he answered and explained the process of what to be expected. He sounded very knowledgeable and also caring. I felt so relieved after speaking to him and I knew I had found the right attorney. Mr. Lorenzo was there for my family and I through a difficult time and case. Mr. Lorenzo showed us empathy and trust which are two important factors to me.Through out the process he kept us informed of every detailed of the case. I’m so glad we did not stay with the other attorney. We made the right choice. I would highly recommend Mr. Lorenzo to others who are looking for a caring and trustworthy attorney who is knowledgeable of the law. Thank you Mr. Lorenzo. My family and I are very grateful to you.

I would like to take this time and share the details of my unfortunate divorce. I’m a PALM BEACH resident that went through the unfortunate experience of separating from my wife of 17 years. My first response was to go to high price attorneys in Palm Beach. After experiencing two consultations Which cost me $2000 for two hours worth of their time with two different firms they put the fear of God in me. Completely rattled I took a step back and went online and found Mayersohn LAW GROUP. Within the hour, Leah Mayersohn ESQ had returned my call, listened to my story was completely positive and uplifting from the very beginning. Leah assured me that the team she would assemble for me will do everything they can to get me through this process as painlessly with minimal amount of cost and take me through this process from the moment I signed up to the day the divorce was finalized. My lead divorce attorney, DENISE GENTILE Was not only thorough in her work, everything from paperwork to returning phone calls to telling me the breath deeply when I became overwhelmed at times more often than not the compassion was real and undeniable the team consisted of Deborah Gordash, Who was my paralegal. JOHN who uploaded thousands of documents for me Lulu who schedule appointments and took care of our Zoom calls, conference calls , to much to mention. The bottom line is, I can’t say enough about the firm. They were supportive, understanding, compassionate, and finalize my divorce within months. In this day and age it’s rare to fine a company as professional as the Mayersohn Law Group where profits aren’t the bottom line.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Louis Pironti on a legal matter, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From our first meeting, it was clear that he is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely committed to his clients. Louis Pironti took the time to fully understand my situation andprovided clear, actionable advice. He communicated every step of the process with transparency, making sure we felt informed and confident throughout. What impressed me the most was his ability to anticipate potential challenges and navigate them with ease, all while keeping our best interests at the forefront. Beyond his legal expertise, Mr. Pironti demonstrated remarkable empathy and understanding. He was always available to answer my questions and offer support, making what could have been a stressful experience much more manageable. It was evident that he truly cares about his clients and their well-being. Thanks to Louis Pironti’s hard work and dedication, we achieved a favorable outcome in this case. I am incredibly grateful for his assistance and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of legal guidance. If you are looking for a lawyer who combines expertise with a personal touch, look no further than Louis Pironti!!!!

I wish I could take this guy everywhere I Go my life was on the line and when I say on the line I'm not exaggerating and this guy Lewis was like angel it came through and Save the Day.. Luis Pironti is hands down the best criminal defense attorney you can find. With 28 years of experience, his presence in the courtroom is commanding, and you can instantly see the respect he has from state attorneys and judges. From the start, Luis assured me of everything he was going to do, and he followed through on every word—he is truly a man of his word. Not only is he highly skilled and strategic, but he’s also understanding when it comes to finances. He worked with me to make things manageable, but let me be clear—this is a man you want to pay upfront because his work is worth every penny. If you're looking for someone who will fight for you with everything he has, Luis Pironti is the attorney you need.

Thank you Mrs. Cohen for a wonderful job well done. I have been fighting my case in Broward county for over 2 years and I live out of Florida. Mrs. Cohen is my 3rd attorney that I have paid for and she is the only one who got my case resolved without me having to return to FL. I am seeing these recent reviews that rank one star, however Mrs. Cohen has always answered my emails, phone calls, and above all did what she said she was going to do. She has done more work in 3 months than any attorney I have hired in 2 years. Mrs. Cohen is the real deal and if you want someone who cares about your case and will do what she says please let her handle your case. She doesn't over promise and I'll tell you one thing any attorney who tells you the worst first and then delivers great results down the line is top notch in my book. Don't be snaked in by bad reviews, give her a chance and I assure you she will be fair and professional. Thank you Kristie for the great work you did on my case.

If you have an amicable divorce go to a mediator or give a small retainer fee. This office has a NON-refundable refund for retainers. My case was during the holidays and after we signed everything the office went silent. I had to email to check status and then they would move the case. I wasn't even informed on when my divorce was finalized, I found it on public records. Although I am knowledgeable and know it was my mistake for not reading the terms, I hope this helps someone to ask about refundable retainer fees. My divorce billable hours were about 2,500. My retainer fee was 5,500 so the office made an easy $2,900.00. Hope this review helps someone in the future!

"Exceptional Legal Representation for My Insurance Claim." I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding legal representation I received.

My family and I needed a probate attorney. We needed to settle my mother’s estate after she passed away. I looked for a probate attorney and they never got back with me after leaving several messages and I had to keep calling. When I did received a call back they did not explain the process just told me what their fee was and I had to pay it upfront. Needless to say I seek help from someone else. I called Mr. Lorenzo on a Saturday afternoon and he answered and explained the process of what to be expected. He sounded very knowledgeable and also caring. I felt so relieved after speaking to him and I knew I had found the right attorney. Mr. Lorenzo was there for my family and I through a difficult time and case.

Brian was a pleasure to work with, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the outcome. He was able to negotiate the best possible result for me in an unfortunate situation. Brian is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and easy to talk to. He made sure I was informed throughout the entire process and was always available when I had questions. Additionally, Carolina, his paralegal, was also fantastic—equally accessible and quick to assist whenever needed. The teamwork between Brian and Carolina was seamless, and it gave me confidence knowing I had such a strong team on my side. I highly recommend this firm if you ever find yourself in need of legal services. You’ll be in good hands!

Brian was quick to assess my case and come up with a diligent plan to accommodate my wishes. Without going into too much detail. It was a motion for early termination. He was quick to make the motion. At court he really shined in fighting and understanding what my needs were. He made sure we got the desired outcome I wanted. I would recommend Brian to anyone in my predicament. Nothing bad to say.

I cannot say enough about my experience with this exceptional Family Law Attorney. From start to finish, she was consistently attentive and made me feel truly heard, something that can be rare in such a complex and emotional process. She was always a step ahead, ensuring that the Judge was well aware of every detail in my case. Her dedication to the facts and her meticulous approach were apparent every step of the way. What sets her apart is how much she genuinely cares. She takes the time to understand every aspect of your situation, and her empathy is matched only by her professionalism and ethical standards. While she is incredibly supportive, she also offers a grounded perspective, making sure you understand your real options and where adjustments might need to be made. Her guidance is honest, and she provides realistic advice tailored to your financial circumstances, ensuring you are fully aware of what’s practical and achievable. Her proactive approach, combined with her transparency and integrity, makes her an outstanding advocate. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a Family Law Attorney who truly cares about their clients and is committed to achieving the best possible outcome.

Vincent Law was able to successfully defend me in my landlord-tenant dispute. After vacating my unit and leaving the premises in impeccable condition, the landlord had decided not to follow the statue and not return my security deposit. With the help of Arthur Vincent I was able to receive my full security deposit and legal fees. Mr. Vincent was a reassuring presence throughout the legal proceedings and made sure that the law was followed. Based on my experience, I would certainly recommend Vincent Law to others who may need legal assistance in similar matters. It is always reassuring to have an experienced and knowledgeable lawyer on your side, and Mr. Vincent was that lawyer.

I met Mr. Bruno back in February when I was arrested for a Domestic Violence, I called Mr Bruno and explained my situation. That same they he asked me to come by the office. I went to his office and he met me right away. We spent over an hour talking and unlike other attorneys, he was not worry about the time. Fast forward, Mr Bruno not only did he cleared me of all criminal charges, he also cleared me of a civil charge. I was blessed to have met Mr Bruno. I can sincerely say that Mr Bruno is the attorney you want representing you in court. One last thing, you can text him even on the weekends and he will always reply back to you. He is very profesional, caring, and he won’t break your bank. I recommend Mr Bruno 100%!!

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.
