Chelsi was court appointed to me to represent me for several criminal charges I have. I have experience with appointed attorney's and Chelsi is by far top notch. She attended to every want and need that I had. Chelsi and Ami were both very responsive to emails and calls. Chelsi got me the best outcome, better than I could have ever imagined. If I ever need legal representation again, I will use Chelsi. She is polite, knowledgeable, fights for your case, and I believe she truly cares. She is highly recommended by me!!

In 2019, I had a DWI case that began before COVID, and I was in a state of panic, fearing how a conviction could impact my entire career. Tracy was incredibly patient with me, even as I constantly reached out for updates every couple of months. COVID caused my case to be delayed until 2023, but throughout that time, Tracy never raised her fees. She was always clear and thorough in her communication and, in my opinion, went above and beyond in handling my case. She is not only the kindest lawyer you could ever hire but also exceptionally skilled in her work. As a professional whose career was at risk, I’m more than happy to recommend Tracy to anyone facing a similar challenging situation. Thank you, Tracy, for your patience, expertise, and for ultimately helping dismiss my case. You truly saved my career, and I am deeply grateful!!!

Remembering my chaotic night in jail from my negligence of choice AGAIN, I’m reminded how I heard two officers say, ” She’s gonna need a good Lawyer “. As my head hung down, I knew they were right. Especially from my prior. Well, I searched, I listened, I heard all the propositions from Alot of lawyers until on lunch break. Sitting in a park decided to Google once more. I found Attorney Jeff Hoover. Man. Was I relieved to just speaking with him. I told my story. He listened but had a gracious tone that made me say ” This is the one”. He first made me know ALL have made bad decisions but doesn’t make you a bad person. He and Myra ( his paralegal) made me feel at ease. With still having human doubt, Attorney Jeff Hoover changed my Under the Jail Cell to a misdemeanor. Father God. Every moment in multiple court showing I was SO relieved to see his face. To hear his voice, his presence gave me a sense of security. He never failed in anyway. He’s very to the point (Which I loved from the initial call) He never sugar-coated anything. He kept me in the loop and communicated either he or Mayra at all times. I thought I would lose my kids through the transition. Attorney Hoover changed my life that was pending State Jail. 5 years. Omg, Please understand, this man to me was like God. I even had to pray to my God to let him know it was all God in him. He even went over backwards to get my fees reduced to $0. Even when meeting my PO for the first time, she was in shock 😲. I truly to this day hate the decision I made but finding Attorney Jeff Hoover was by far better than the choice of drinking while driving. People. Listen. It’s not worth the pain nor loss BUT WHENEVER in a Criminal situation please, no doubt contact Attorney Jeff Hoover. Thank you soon much. Amen 🙏

Abraham Lopez has been the easiest attorney my husband and myself have worked with. He has been incredibly insightful, informative and takes the time to understand your situation and makes sure you understand what his responses are to your questions. He is also very good at returning phone calls and emails which in my experience is hard to come by these days. If you or anyone you know is needing an attorney Abraham is the guy you should hire.

I didn't think I would be able to get through this but he showed me that it was possible. His strategic approach kept me informed in every way and it showed me he was dedicated to my case.

Lauren held my hand through the entire process. Literally. She saw how scared I was of the entire thing, but her and her team are some of the most kind and empathetic people I’ve ever met. I loved the open line of communication, I could message them whenever I needed, and they’d be very swift with a reply. I spoke to MANY attorneys before I chose Lauren, and she was the only attorney I spoke to where it seemed like she genuinely CARED about me, my story, and my child. She fought very hard, aggressively, and with passion. She made me very prepared and did so much to ease my anxiety. Other attorneys told me what I needed couldn’t be done. But she fought so hard that what seemed impossible to other attorneys, was a walk in the park for her. I’d recommend Lauren to anyone. Eternally grateful !!!

Mislead us. Would have been better to just tell us she didn’t know what to do, instead we spent a lot of money for something we thought was right. Now 8ish months later found out that everything done was useless. Had to hire a different attorney to handle things the right way. Review reply: We made it very clear we wanted out from any liability (This was the main goal). You advised us the affidavit would be sufficient. And it turned out it wasn’t. It would have been nice if you were straight forward with us in letting us know the affidavit we paid to have you do was absolutely useless in regards to protecting us unless it was signed by a judge.

For those suggesting Greg’s positive reviews are fabricated, I can attest that Greg is a man of integrity. If someone is unhappy with his representation, it’s likely because they were hoping for someone who would engage in unethical practices—something Greg simply doesn’t do. 10/10 from me.

I would give Mike and Jessica 10 stars if I could. When Mike says he feels most alive as a lawyer when in a trial, he is being honest, and that alone sets him apart from 99% of his peers (while being honest makes him unique among all lawyers!) Jessica Phillips is Mike's fully effective teammate, and together they are unbeatable. My previous three 'Super Lawyers' just wanted to shuffle the paperwork, collect the $400/hr fee, and not really make the most out of the circumstances of the divorce. With assets in the 7 figures, Mike easily saved me some multiple of 6 figures by being persuasive with the judge, not pressuring me in any way to settle at mediation, and working patiently to maximize my best outcome. He and Jessica were also very quick to get up to speed on my divorce, as I hired them in an emergency just 30 days before our first mediation. Their unwavering focus from day 1 was how to best present the case to a judge and jury. And in that regard, Mike has a carefully honed intuition about judges and jurors, a sense of judgment that makes him such a credible adversary in trial or negotiations. Other lawyers, sensing Mike and Jessica's determination and skill at winning in court, may want to pressure their client to settle rather than go to trial. The dirty little secret among lawyers is that trial work requires a uniquely challenging skill set, and can result in winning or losing in a very public way. You can see why most family lawyers spin the tale that 'trial is just going to cost you a bunch of money to get the same basic outcome as negotiation or mediation'. Finally, while not a factor in my divorce, Mike has a defense lawyer background, and so if someone is throwing around the 'abuse' pejorative, you want lawyers who understand exactly how to work that angle. Hire Mike and Jessica. Give them 110% of your support. And in the years ahead, in the quiet moments when for no reason you recall that anxious and fearful time when life was so profoundly challenging, you will smile at your good fortune in having hired Mike and Jessica.

I contacted the Schneider firm in 2008 to discuss a case that could prove detrimental to my career. On the first appointment, Mike assured me that he would be able to assist me but did warn me of the lengthy backlog which could delay my case for several years. Fast forward over 7 years later to 2016 and Mike still remembered my issue and was able to SUCCESSFULLY argue on my behalf. He was always only a phone call away. I believe that many attorneys would have forgotten about my issue instead moving on to more high profile cases. Not with Mike. I never felt alone during this long, scary process. I would not hesitate to refer someone to him.

Good attorneys are a rare commodity, especially these days, when people seem to be so obsessed on milking money from others. I found Mike and Melissa to be real honest people. Being honest is one pre-requisite; the other quality that a client must seek in hiring an attorney is whether he/she is competent or not. I would also give an A+ to Mike and his team on competency. He and his team represented me on two accounts and did their work with due diligence while charging reasonable fee. They won both cases for me, which were not so easy. Another reason I admire Schneider and company is that they advised me not to file another case. When an attorney tells you not to do something and save your money, trust him. Most attorneys would take your case and give you wrong advice. Not Mike. I am a big fan of Mike and his team and respect them, after being burned by numerous attorneys (on the same cases). I whole heartedly recommend them.

My wife's case was a difficult one with a harsh judge and a child endangerment issue. Tough to over come, but Mimi got the minimum sentence possible for us. We had disagreements but each of our many concerns was explained to us thoroughly and respectfully by Mimi and her staff. She listens, she fights and she cares about her clients. Calls, texts.etc. are responded to timely and sensibly by the Coffey firm. Mimi will tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear, and she seems to hate losing more than most of us enjoy winning. I'd recommend her to anyone in the Metroplex facing DWI charges.

YES to Stephanie Patten! If you’re seeing this, it’s probably because you’re looking for a criminal defense lawyer… whether to fight a charge or be cautious… don’t hesitate, and retain her! She is thorough, professional and will fight for you. She is prompt in getting back with you and even when you speak to her staff, they too, are terrific. These days you can never be too careful. If you find yourself in a sticky or uncomfortable situation, be prepared and have Stephanie on retainer - You have the right to an attorney, even if you do not currently have pending charges. She does this day in and day out - she knows her stuff, things that you won’t even think of. You won’t regret having Stephanie on your team!

I recently reached out to this law firm looking for a consultation. They said there was no conflict of interest and scheduled an appointment for me. Upon arrival they informed me that despite taking my money for the consultation appointment, they apparently had not done their due diligence and a conflict of interest prevented the consultation. This is of course after they had me fill out questionnaires providing my personal information and wasting my time and money driving to the appointment and back. To top it off, they still haven't refunded my money for the consultation after multiple weeks time and following up with their office about this refund. Avoid this firm if you do not want to be robbed of your time and money.

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.
