I highly recommend Mr. Berenson to ANYONE. He and his staff were friendly, courteous and solved ant needs that I had. The attorney called me several times to keep me updated. It's not often that you find an attorney who cares about you but he DOES!

Through working with Sorsha Huff and others at Deandra Grant Law I have been able to explore my options with immigration from another country even though I am limited by an aggravated felony. Sorsha has in my opinion gone beyond my original expectations and assisted where others would not. I value and appreciate the assistance, thank you very much.

I would HIGHLY recommend Phillip Hall to anyone who needs an attorney. I found myself needing legal help with no idea of what I was doing. Not only was Phillip patient with me throughout the whole process, he was honest, professional, and most importantly with me every step of the way. By the time everything was said and done, my case turned out better than I could have ever imagined. Phillip will work hard for you, takes your case personally, and doesn’t give up! Anyone seeking legal help needs to contact Phillip Hall immediately!!!

Mr. Rowe was appointed by the court after I was arrested for the 2nd time while on felony probation in 2019 . He first bonded me out when the MTA (motion to adjudicate) was filed, all I had to do was let him know when I was going to turn myself in and what card on file to use. I went in at 11pm on a Tuesday and was out by 3pm on Wednesday. The candor and top tier representation resulted in all charges dropped and my reinstatement to Deferred Adjudication Probation. If I ever get jammed up again he's going to be my first call.

My name's Joseph, I was battling a felony probation violation after catching a new misdemeanor. I was in jeopardy of being revoked,& sent back to prison... The court appointed lawyer I was appointed told me EVERY SINGLE TIME that we met at a court hearing, that the D.A was not trying to re- Instate me for any reason... He tried to have me sign for 8 yrs TDC.. THEN 5.. I REFUSED.. Then after doing research on different lawyers, Ms. Johnson's credentials & history stood out.. Once I spoke to Rosie, Ms Johnson's secretary, she was professional & precise! Ms. Johnson reached out to me in mins! She said shed' call back after reviewing my cases.. long story short.. She kept me fully informed, She refused to fall short... And She FOUGHT FOR ME! Misdemeanor was dismissed & I been re-instated to my probation! God bless Ms. Johnson! If you are in need of Counsel, DO NOT PASS HER UP! 5 STARS 5 & a 10 out of 10...…!

I’m actually a current client of Abe’s .. so far Abe has helped me duck a few bullets.. we have a long way to go but out of all the great attorneys in the DFW metroplex, I feel that my decision to go with Abe will give me the results I’m after . Will follow up after this mess is taken care of.

Abe factor is very busy and if he just sat and talked to everyone all day hed be broke. He does his talking in court and when it counts he is there. It can be frustrating at times, but the end result is what matters. Sit back relax and once you hire abe let him do his job, he can only do certain things at certain times. The court process is slow so just be patient.

With all the emotions of a custody case the last thing I needed was problems or concerns with my own attorney. I was disgruntle from past experiences and hesitant but took a chance and couldn't be happier with the decision. From the beginning, the Law Office Of Mark M. Childress has taken care of me and adjusted to meet my needs. From financials, being responsive, fighting for what I feel is right and shooting me straight so I had no false expectations, this Law Office and it's staff have been there for me. I represented myself at first, didn't sleep for weeks and was on the verge of loosing my case without knowing. I couldn't be thankful enough for them stepping in and not just stopping but reversing what was about to happen just in time I highly recommend them and will continue to utilize their services in the future if needed.

I have the extraordinary pleasure of having each one of these phenomenal individual attorneys take part in my case/s. Each one of them have went above and beyond their primary titles. I will not go into my ongoing case but I can absolutely tell you that before I had the privilege of having these Heaven Sent Angels brought into my life/case/s I had completely lost my faith in Attorneys. Every single individual in this firm has given me back hope, faith in our Attorneys and how how they will work for you. There is so very much I can say about the Alband Law Firm unfortunately there is nothing I can tell anyone about how unbelievably phenomenal this law firm is and how each individual go to their above and beyond compassion hard work dedication, and love of what they do. There truly are no words to express what they have done for my child and me. The only way you will ever know how Heaven sent these Angels are is to experience how far and beyond they will go for you. However unfortunate your situation or circumstances may be. The Number One in Attorney at Law. The Alband Law Firm. Thank you Ms. Luanne, Mr. Alband, Mr. Javier, Mr. Bill. Phenomenal does not even begin to describe this Law Firm.

Navid has represented me twice. both times he was thorough and always on top of everything! No matter what your facing, he can always make something happen! He is also so easy to be honest with, as he is so understanding. And he is so good at hearing whatever fears you may have and making sure they don't happen! He is absolutely by far the best attorney I've ever had, and seeing other have bad ones to compare Navid and how great he was, with! He will jbe a lifelong attorney as well as friend!

I frantically was searching for a criminal defense attorney and having no idea where to start, I simply filled out a few web forms detailing my situation. Navid call first thing the very next morning! As many others who have reviewed Mr. Alband, I can certainly attest that the system is slow and Navid will tell you that upfront. However, he will also give you a honest look into possible scenarios for your case with the evidence and conversations that you provide him with. Luane is simply a huge part of what makes Navid's practice so comforting. She is able to quickly follow-up and takes great notes and relays concerns to Navid...she is truly a jewel. Thank you both!

Lisa Haines understood the significance of mental health problems where the judicial system fails to. We had a case that was clearly untreated mental illness & NOT criminal. She was able to show the judge evidence & get the charges completely thrown out. Charges that should have not been in the criminal system to begin with! Mental illness is unfortunately a sad failure with the police & the courts. Lisa Haines did not give up until someone finally looked at the evidence. It took two years & she never gave up. She changed our lives. Thank you, Lisa!

Ms.Minick was my court appointed attorney and she was amazing at helping me through my case. Since it was my first time ever being in court or having to go through all that she helped me make decisions and guide me through the process. She got my case dismissed. This was the best experience I’ve had given the circumstances I was in. I couldn’t have asked for better.

I had a possession - cont sub <1g, had served 2 years of my probation as well as completed all fees, classes and appointed programs. Unfortunately I relapsed after my mother passed, and had 2 dirty UAs. They revoked my probation and wanted to send me to State Jail. I found her in Avvo and read her credentials and reviews and just had a feeling she would be the one that could help me. She was able to get me time served for everything I had completed, my case closed and walk away free. I'm clean now and so thankful she gave me a chance to stay free and provide for my family in the most desperate times.

I would most definitely recommend Kim Minnick, Atty. and her firm for representation for anyone! She goes above and beyond what you would expect an attorney to do for you. She is a go-getter and will fight fight fight for you. As well, she is highly respected by her colleagues and judges in her field of criminal law. Kim has an impeccable record. I can't say enough good things about Kim and this firm and would highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you again Kim from the bottom of my heart.

I hired Jason to represent me in a first time DWI charge that, if convicted, would have resulted in harm against my medical license and professional career. The facts were weak, but I felt it necessary to hire the best to represent me in this high stakes charge against me.
I interviewed multiple attorneys. Jason was the first and the last. In between, I found almost all firms persuade you to enter a contract using their best, most well recognized attorney. They then “sub” your case out to a lesser experienced associate or partner attorney. I realize everyone needs to gain experience, but I could not afford to lose this case.
Jason handled every aspect of my case (phone calls, email responses, meetings, and court appearances). His fee was middle of the road compared to others I interviewed. There was no less experienced middle man handling my case, which in my opinion deserved every extra penny spent hiring him that could have been “saved” by retaining the cheapest lawyer. He handles his cases in the same manner I do as a physician, and I really appreciated his attention to quality over volume.
Jason successfully had my case dismissed without trial or pleading for a lesser charge. Furthermore, my drivers license was not revoked/the judge also dismissed the civil part of this case. In total, all elements of my case were dismissed and I was very pleased I followed my gut instinct by hiring him.

Well, I usually won’t write these, but with my experience with Jason Howard. He was nothing, but amazing during this stressful time that I was going through. From our first meeting, I felt that I had someone in my corner to advise and guide me through the best course and action through all of this. To have someone like that is a blessing when you feel lost and concerned what can happen to you. His level head and work through this whole process makes me thankfully to have chosen him to be my advocate. If ever there is someone that you need for this situation, Jason Howard would be the choice.

I was arrested at 18 for DWI in Denton county at the beginning of COVID and of course had lots of questions, anxiety and confusion about the whole case as well as I didn’t know where to start at all. I almost immediately went online searching for answers and found Mr. Howard’s website and left an inquiry. He was the first attorney to get back to me as it was on the weekend and even after hours he called to check in and let me know he would look at the case with me the following day. I hired Mr. Howard that same day as communication was very important to me and it was days before any other attorney in the area got back to me. A lot of other attorneys offices will also outsource your case to someone else in the same firm and Mr. Howard personally took care of mine which was also important to me because I knew I could get answers without having to ask around multiple people. My case took over 18 months to be filed and was resolved just under 24 months. Throughout this entire process Mr. Howard monitored the status of my case, gave me updates, was always there to answer every question I had, and ultimately negotiated to have my charges reduced based on my case details. Mr. Howard is very detailed and knowledgeable and won’t ever leave you in the dark from start to finish. If you are looking for a DWI attorney in Denton/ Tarrant counties I highly recommend hiring or consulting with Mr. Howard to get your case handled or to at least better understand your specific position and your options going about it.

I just want to say that I’m so grateful with the attorney, taking my case ; his work ethic was amazing not to mention he was there through the entire process. The attorney was always finding ways to make sure I felt comfortable with everything, used multiple resources to get the message across to me from explain every detail down the road. He made sure that I had a translator at all times so I would be aware of every decision taken. Most importantly he didn’t language be a barrier for us to communicate.

I’m so happy I decided to go with Mr. Barnett. Not once did he try to deceive me on the process of my case. Other lawyers I spoke with made it seem like everything would be done in a month. But Mr. Barnett let me know it would be a process and assured me everything would be fine. I’m very please with the outcome I received. God forbid I’m ever in a situation like this again but if Lady Luck isn’t on my side I would definitely go back to Mr. Barnett. Also he has a killer smile! Haha!

Anna was very understanding and considerate of my situation and wanting to get my case taken care of right away. As soon as I hired her, she jumped right on it, contacting the DA's office, and got them to not file the charge that was pending against me. She was also able to talk to my parole officer, and submit a document from the DA stating they were not picking up the charge for me. My parole then lifted the blue warrant off of me. This all got settled within a matter of days, and my parole officer said I was really lucky, that this usually doesn't happen with a family violence charge. All thanks to Anna for getting this done!

Jim is hands-down the best lawyer . My son got himself into a mess of trouble, was facing some real prison time for heavy charges due to stupid actions. Jim not only saved him from prison, but his expertise got his charges reduced to a misdemeanor with probation. Of course lack of responsibility my son did not meet Probation because he was not ready to turn his back on his lifestyle. Needless to say after multiple adjustments and Jim going to the judge, he got probation dropped and he was assigned community service work detail. The boy messed that up too, and now We are back with Jim working for another outcome. I am confident Jim will work this out for his good, And hopefully the boy will get it done this time.

Handling my criminal case, Andrew was professional, calm, good listener, always available, and empathetic. Andrew fought for my best interest and achieve the best outcome(DISMISSAL). He came through for me to defend myself, whenever I need to talk to both my employers (Military and Civilian) jobs. He talked to my employers in other to save my jobs with there status and never allow me to miss a day at work while the case was ongoing, considering the fact that I work outside the state(Texas). Even though I was just a client, he took me as a family (Introduce me to his wonderful team(dad and other associates) who are also as excellent as he is). He will make sure I am always good, unnerves and remove my fears, even when he is so busy with other life activities.
He(Andrew) fought and got me the best result of DISMISSAL, for a third degree felony criminal charge without any penalty or class taken, and achieve this result of DISMISSAL while facing tough DAs in the strongest criminal court in Texas. I highly recommend him for any criminal or related cases as your defense attorney. Trust me you are in GOOD hands and I am 100% keeping his contact details for family, friend and I.

Lesa is best Lawyer today I have came across. first catching my case I was paying for a lawyer that didn’t do nothing for me and was just taking my money while I’m sitting in jail. & I found Lesa less within 48 Hrs of being paid she was at the court and got my Bond dropped from $175K to $30K and got me out of jail. Got out on a Ankle Monitor and she got me removed off of that early so I could work. It took some Time but a Year and few months later I stayed patient and believed in her like she told me she would do & Got my Case Dropped and dismissed. Thank you Lesa

I came to Mr. Carters office and he had me explain what happened, how we got here, and what’s next etc. He was able to keep me ahead of the ball on some situations and helped me to progress in the process with no hang ups. With his many years as a defense attorney, he has a heavy reputation and everyone knows him and he knows everyone. Lastly, the element I take away is that each visit he had some insightful wisdom and a lesson to be learned for what had been done.

Mr. Carter was referred to me from a good friend who I've known for a while and it was by far the best referral I could ever have gotten. Don fought for me as if he was my own father. He got me more than I would have ever expected. I've dealt with many lawyers in past and most of them were trash even after paying them good money. Don has been at this business a long time and it shows in the courtroom. He gets much respect from the judges and prosecutors and trust me that goes a long ways. If your in need of a good lawyer who will fight for you and is not all about money then look no further than Mr. Carter and his assistant Celia! I couldn't be more happy with the results.

I was dealing with a possible probation revocation, I spoke with Mr.Keating about how I wanted go forward with my probation and he explained all the possible scenarios that could happen and answered any questions I had. He has great patience, very understanding, doesn’t make you feel judged, and overall makes you feel comfortable which then builds confidence with your choice of choosing him to represent you. He’s very honest with how he feels an outcome will play out and let’s you decide whether or not you want to take route. My probation was going ideal until my probation officer filed the motion to revoke me earlier than expected, I ended up having a warrant for my arrest. Mr.Keating came up with a solution to keep me from going to jail (as I have 2 kids dependent on me) and that required me to step into the courthouse full of officers. I honestly was very hesitant but I trusted him and I walked out of the courtroom discharged from my probation a month earlier than my intended date! I also adore his paralegal Robin! She is truly amazing, she’s has great communication, great response time, and helped me feel comfortable and at ease with an undesirable situation! I’m sure he has multiple clients but him and his staff really make you feel like you’re a priority which is so important when dealing with time sensitive matters. Definitely recommend to anyone needing legal assistance.

I had so many worries going into my case, but Mr. Luster knows what he's doing, I could tell bcuz I've had experience with both good and not so good attorneys, and it's hard to find the ones that are good at their profession when YOU need it. Also, he got my case dropped! All those worries? Gone. I highly recommend James Luster if you're in need of any legal counsel!

After having to dismiss a court appointed attorney for my son, we were led to and hired James Luster. James accomplished more in two weeks than the court appointed attorney accomplished in seven months. After James reviewed the case and the evidence, we knew we had hired a winner for our son.
James stood his ground and the District Attorney dismissed the charge. James knows the law but, more importantly, James is a tremendous defense attorney.
I rarely write reviews but, I felt compelled to share our experience with James. James has the highest recommendation I can give and more importantly, he has my gratitude...

Veronica represented me in a complicated trial, involving former law enforcement versus current law enforcement. Not only did I truly believe that Veronica was sure of my innocence, but she took the time to explain the steps of the judicial process and the courtroom proceedings (when to stand, where to sit, etc.), as I had never stood trial before. She was extremely thorough and quickly shot down any arguments that the prosecution could present. I would whole hardheartedly recommend her and would seek here out again if I was in need of a defense attorney.

Allen Blake went above and beyond in representing me in my criminal case. The charge would have haunted me for the rest of my life if it resulted in anything other than a dismissal.
Allen demonstrated remarkable knowledge and understanding of the law and legal process throughout the entirety of my case. He assured me the law was on my side and ultimately got the dismissal I needed.
I highly recommend Allen Blake for an excellent job done. And I cannot thank him enough.

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.
