If you're in need of a legal services, you MUST give Brent a call first. He will be honest with you and whatever situation you're dealing with. It was a privilege to witness his flawless, almost movie-like, performance in court, where my opposition never stood a chance. He never promised me the best outcome, but delivered just that. His preparation is second to none and his execution was even more impressive. More importantly, Brent genuinely cared for my family and I. This was evident both in the compassion he showed in our first meeting and the ferocious defense of me in court. I will forever appreciate Brent for what he did for me. Do yourself a favor, call Brent Hall and only Brent Hall if you need a lawyer.

Brent is worth every penny he charges. A family member received a DWI and we had no idea how to proceed. My extensive online research advised to hire an attorney however when asking around everyone said not to as you are wasting your money. Brent came recommended to us by another lawyer and was the best advice we've received in a long time! He reviewed all the paperwork/videos and was VERY well prepared for court date. Good job Brent on our family member being found NOT guilty on a DWI charge.

Mr Hall helped with my son'DWI case. The reason we hired him is because he took the time to really talk with us and get all our details. He had expirence in all roles, so he knew exactly what to look for, and he charges one fee that gets you through the whole process. We had to postpone our case for personal reasons, no problem it was taken care of just like that. Mr Hall gathered all evidence in our case. He got all recordings from police and jail for us to review. When we had our pre court meeting, he gave us a package with all documents about our case. Mr Hall was well prepared for our meeting and had found the officer did not have probable cause to stop my son and that made all evidence not useable in court. We went to court and he presented our case and my son was found not guilty. We paid no fines and his record is clear. Mr. Hall was a blessing yo our family and I can't think him enough. I highly recommend him to meet your legal needs

Brad Hull is the best lawyer I've had! He deservers well over ten stars! He helped me protect my children against my ex-husband. He did more for me and my children in just a couple months than any other lawyers I had in the past almost 3 years. He has always been respectful in meetings, returned my calls and emails at a proper time, and he was always been forth comming and honest on how he thought how my case was going. I very highly recommend.

We hired Brad to represent us in a family law matter for a number of reasons. First there was a miscommunication on our initial interview and Brad went out of his way, working late, to meet with us on that day. He was very understanding, appeared to grasp our goals, and advised us of our options in a very clear and concise manner. At first it appeared that due to the circumstances in the case we might not be able to proceed but fortunately that soon changed and we retained him to represent us. Brad was very much in touch with us throughout the proceedings responding to each and every one of our concerns. Although we did not prevail in our matter, it was definitely not due in any way to his lack of preparation or presentation as everything we felt should be placed before the court was made known. We hopefully will not need legal representation any time soon; however, if we do, we will definitely go to Brad first and we have no reservations about recommending him to anyone in need of an advocate.

My experience working with Andrew Flake was absolutely fantastic. He was forced to come in the middle of my case, at the last minute, because the attorney that originally was provided to me was not doing the job. He met with me multiple times so he could better know my story to determine the best steps to take. Andrew truly saw that I had made serious changes in my life and fought to get me the best deal possible. I would recommend him to anyone and will never use any another lawyer.

Inconsiderate and impolite The service was a complete nightmare. For more than half a year, they consistently postponed the same appointment. They would typically cancel an appointment within an hour of the planned time. The lawyers who were required to attend the sessions would either forget or not show up on multiple occasions. Perhaps increased communication amongst attorneys would improve client service. We never held the meeting even after a few months had passed. But this week, we finally got a call from David Powell informing us that, after two years of pending our case with no results, they had ultimately chosen not to pursue our lawsuit against the Crawford County detention facility. Based on my experiences I would not recommend. Do not entrust your justice or the justice of a loved one in their hands.

My experience with David Powell was horrible. He was very dishonest and I feel like I was represented by someone from the prosecuting attorneys office. He, along with the prosecuting attorney railroaded me into a plea deal over a case that was self-defense, told me I would only serve a few months in prison, I served 3 years. He obviously does not know anything about how ADC works or the parole board. I would have been better off being represented by the public defenders office. Oh and he lied to the veterans court people about my case. Do NoT hire!!!

Lack of Commnication except by email which he intentionally misunderstands to stimulate more time to read more emails to increase billing time for reading emails. Typical narcissistic tactics to manipulate his client to get what he wants. Doubled his fee when the opportunity presented itself. I'm filing a lawsuit on him tomorrow time permitting. For refusing to obtain evidence on corrupt deputy. Wanted to ignore the evidence to protect his brethren in the Arkansas State corporation. They protect their own above their clients constitutional rights.

My husband and I used Aundrea for our custody battle for his daughter. She is a beast in the court room!! She was in constant contact with us throughout the whole process! She gave us advice when we needed it and she never backed down. She isn't afraid to say what was needed to get the point across! We won full custody of my husband's daughter and we are so thankful for Aundrea and all her help making this happen!! If you are going through a similar situation and fighting for your child I highly recommend you hire Aundrea!

My husband and I used Aundrea for a custody battle of his two biological boys against his ex wife for the past two years. Aundrea was there for every step of the way and every issue. She is fierce and a bulldog in the court room. She doesn't step down or away during any matter of the case. We could call her and she was always there to advise us with what step we should take next with every contempt with the ex wife and the concerns we had with the boys. Yesterday we had our final hearing on this matter and she fought and fought for our boys and we won full custody of our boys. You always hear that dads won't ever get fully custody over the mom in the state of Arkansas, well Aundrea made that happen for us and I would recommend her to every single person. To know that we weren't fighting alone made us feel so comfortable and we knew with the relationship we had with Aundrea, that she was there for us!
Thank you for all you did Aundrea.
Give her a call if you are needing a lawyer.

I had the privilege of working with Aundrea for my custody case with my child’s father. Aundrea was blunt and straight to the point! She was always there to discuss the case with me and answer any questions I had as well as her office team! Aundrea was phenomenal and I will never use any other attorney but her. Thank you again Aundrea for fighting for me and my daughter and winning!

My husband hired Mr. Bugeja to settle and represent him for his custody battle. He met with my husband 3 times in person and my husband was told “I’m writing a proposal up and we’ll get this taken care of”. 2 months later completely ghosted my husband and myself. We have called, emailed, facebook messaged, and have received nothing back. My husband lost $5k towards this lawyer and got nothing accomplished.

If you want to waste money, and get a lawyer that isn't worth a wooden nickel, then look no further. In my current case, Mr. Wann failed to show up for my conditions of bond hearing, failed to get my charges amended after the crime lab report came back, caused me to fail to appear, and wouldn't get the warrant lifted, yet was able to file a motion to withdraw. Hes as worthless as the day is long. I'm reporting him to the bar and more.

We contacted Jeremy to do our will and power of attorneys. I was very worried and stressed about the whole process of making all of the decisions for our will. One meeting with Jeremy and he had my mind at ease and was a tremendous help with explaining everything! He kept in touch with us thru the whole process. He is very patient and caring and you know he has your best interest at heart! We will use Jeremy for all of our legal needs and we recommend him to everyone we know! He is fantastic!

Mr. Marquette was the best. He knows the law, inside and out, and if there was something he didn't know, (which was rare) he did the necessary research and got back to me in a timely manner. He took the time to talk to me and explain everything, and was very professional. I have recommended him to several friends and any one else needing
representation.

Bob saved my life. In one day, I went from a normal citizen to facing 40 years of felony charges. No other attorney would even consider the possibility that I was innocent (and I was), let alone the possibility that I could beat the case. But Bob did. And he beat the case within 60 days. The judge and prosecutor all but apologized to me.
There's nothing like the weight of criminal charges hanging over your head, and when you're in that situation you want to know that you have someone who is on your side, someone who will fight for you. I trusted Bob with my life, and it was the best decision I ever made.
He never sugar-coated anything either. He always told me what the possibilities were and that I was up against a big battle. But if there were any way possible to beat the case, he promised me he would find it. And he did!
Another thing, I felt like I was a priority, and not just another client in a mill. I could reach him any time of day or night, in multiple forms of communication. You won't find that with anyone else in town. He works multiple cases and still has the ability to make you feel like you're his only client.
I could go on for days, but my point is simple: hire him and you won't regret it.

I would recommend Bob Marquette to anyone needing a criminal defense lawyer. Over the course of 2008 to 2016, he has been professional, knowledgeable and thorough. Any questions I had about anything were fully explained, not only until the case was resolved, but even later on, years down the road, any questions I had were answered just as thoroughly. He was polite and professional to my family who called him, which I appriciate.

I got hit with a frivolous lawsuit. I gave Phillip Milligan a $2400 retainer fee after he told me I would be refunded whatever he didn’t use. We filed a countersuit. Then milligan said they asked me to drop my countersuit if she dropped hers. I said, “Well, how much has she cost me so far?” I was told I had over $1700 left. I agreed I could take the loss of $700 to end it, so I agreed. I really needed that $1700 so I asked how soon I could pick it up. They wouldn’t let me pick it up. So I’ve been checking the mail. A week before Christmas, I get a letter saying they wrote a clause into my settlement making my retainer non-refundable. They were giving me nothing back! Don’t use them. They know I sacrificed to pay that retainer and they took full advantage of it!

I gave him one star because I was required to select between 1-5 stars, if not I wouldn't give him anything. Milligan failed to notify me that he postponed my court date and did not submit proper documentation to the court. When I arrived to court (which turned out he had postponed). The judge called my name and Milligan was not there to represent me. Not only was I almost put in jail but my time was wasted. When my postponed court day arrived, I showed up early to meet with him, he was no where around. He did not show up until the last 10 minutes before court was adjourned and did not do an absolute thing to what he had said he was going to do when I decided to hire him. He told me he arrived late because he was confused on whether the court was in Van Buren or Ft Smith and he had showed up to the wrong one. (Which obviously shows he paid no attention to my file) I am very dissatisfied with how poorly he handled my case, he was very unpunctual, hard to reach and unprofessional. Every time I would try to reach him, his secretaries were very rude and when I would ask to speak with him, they would hang up the line as if he were trying to avoid speaking with me. I DO NOT recommend you hire Phillip J. Milligan, as a lawyer I feel he is untrustworthy and he was able to make easy money off of me so imagine what he would do with you...

Mr. Milligan clearly puts his client's best interest as a priority. He goes beyond the extra mile to try to win your case for you. His ability to find important details that the opposing attorney misses is outstanding. The only complaint, and it is minor, is he delays getting information to the client on a regular basis prior to trial. However, he will take your calls and get back with you ASAP. Also, I believe that he is so driven to win your case that he intently focuses on that goal, putting you before his own need to take a break or even eat. Milligan Law Firm is the law firm for you if you want your case to be a priority.

45 minutes into my plea hearing Patrick Flake had not yet made it to the court room when they called my name. I let the judge know my lawyer wasn’t there yet and he allowed me to go call him. He answered the phone and informed me that he didn’t know we had court that day. So I waited for him to get there and went about putting in the plea that he advised me to put in. Clearly he never even really paid my case any attention despite the $5,000 I paid him to give me competent legal advice by reviewing the evidence in my case and to be on time to defend me on my court date. I was 19 and charged with delivery of marijuana which Mr. Flake refused to even show me a motion of discovery for or give me any information about but I later obtained a document that stated that a confidential informant was given x amount of money to purchase pills and marijuana from me. When the CI came to my house inquiring about those substances The document alleged that I told the CI that I didn’t have anything it would be later. Anyway, being that I was so young and had no idea what to do in this situation I just accepted these poor practices and kept him as my lawyer. I was convicted of conspiracy to deliver marijuana. If he had done his job correctly the outcome may have been different.

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.
