Brittany and the team at WayPoint Legal helped my uncle when he thought he had no one to turn to. They guided him -- and us -- through all the processes he needed to get back on his feet and move to an assisted living community near us. I cannot praise Brittany enough: she was kind, compassionate, patient, and understanding. She worked tirelessly to help us as we worked through all the difficulties of long-distance legal and paperwork snarls. Her understanding of the ins and outs of assisted living and her intelligent analysis helped keep me sane in the overwhelming situation I unexpectedly found myself navigating. We trusted WayPoint, and they did not let us down.

I cannot recommend this law firm highly enough. After many months of stalled negotiations over a highly contested site access agreement, Michael and his team were the ones who finally got us over the finish line. They represented us both in and out of court, ultimately securing an agreement that not only protected our property but also ensured the health and safety of my family. Michael's expertise was evident as he navigated the complexities of the law, the court system, and various state departments. But what truly set him apart was his empathy. He took the time to listen to our concerns, understood the stakes, and fought tirelessly for our rights. This was more than just a legal victory; it was a personal one. We felt heard, supported, and ultimately, safe. If you're looking for a law firm that combines legal prowess with genuine care for their clients, then this is the one. Thank you, Michael, for everything!

Mr. Speck assisted me in handling my brother's DUI cases, which involved a couple of legal issues. Thankfully, with his help, we were able to get the last one dismissed, which could have resulted in jail time. Although the process was a bit prolonged, Mr. Speck remained dedicated and committed to our case. We are grateful for his support and pleased with the outcome.

Ray Raya represented me in early Spring of 2024. I was absolutely petrified, and sick to my stomach for months looking for a reputable lawyer. I received his contact information by word of mouth from a dear friend of mine. The day of court, I came in early but, he came in earlier. He shook my trembling hand, said it’s ok. I got it to a $100 dollar fine plus court costs. With my face bright red from fear and the lump in the back of my throat… I cleared my throat and managed to stumble out the words… am I going to lose my license?!! Tears welled up in my eyes, He said no you’re ok!! His smooth confidence just took so much anxiety away. I was petrified I’d lose my license and of course, the booming thoughts I obsessed about… how am I going to get to work?Am I going to lose my job and my home, if I can’t get to work?!!! My life is over!!! But just like that, he made a fantastic deal and I was so grateful. I sobbed in the car in the courthouse parking lot after my case was heard for 15 minutes trying to compose myself. I am just so absolutely grateful and happy with his services!! I hope I never am in a predicament to see him again, however, I know who to contact if I'm in a jam again. So grateful!!

I got Eric lee as my lawyer for one of my court cases pro bono. I retained Eric as my lawyer for several court cases that I had. Which included obstruction of justice, a violation of restraining order and a burglary charge. For the obstruction of justice I just had to pay a small fine. Eric was able to get the violation of restraining order dropped down to a disorder persons contempt. Which I had to plead guilty to and received a years probation and minimal fines. For the burglary charge Eric was able to enter me into pti, pre trial intervention and I plead not guilty to the burglary accusations. So as long as I didn't get into anymore trouble it was as if the charge never happened. Which was good because I was looking at 2-5 years of jail time. I was entered into pti and received another year of concurrent probation and $125 of fines. I would highly recommend Eric lee for any criminal cases you might have. He was very helpful in my court cases and kept me out of prison.

Barry handled my civil case in Family court ultimately with a win. This is the first time, hopefully the only time, I've ever been involved in a legal matter against me so personally this was an emotional and scary time for me. The legal proceedings frustratingly took over a year. Barry kept me well informed throughout the matter. I put a lot of trust in Barry since I have no legal knowledge. He was well prepared at each court appearance and referred me to the needed expert witnesses for my case. I am very happy with how Barry handled my case and would highly recommend him.

But the effort and skills Courtney has she did wonders for me on my sentencing day, and if I have to refer her to anybody, she would be number one lawyer, I would refer because she does a phenomenal job for her clients and remember I did say not all public defenders are the best But Courtney is by far the greatest you need to open up your own law firm you would make a great lawyer instead of being a public defender.

Tom Mallon I’ve known Tom Mallon for a long time. I lived two blocks away his office in his early career. I remember asking about a business concern. I don’t exactly recall how things ended with the last interaction, but I will say that every other time Tom represented my case, I always was pleased and leaving in a better Condition. In 1993 I was involved in a car accident. I was in a wheelchair for 13 years when I was struck on the side of the van I was driving. It was not my fault at all, and I had substantial injuries. I didn’t know what to expect. All I knew was that my life was altered a great deal for the second time. Luckily, Tom took the reins. I remember when he hired a plane and got flew over the scene of my car accident and took pictures. Who does stuff like that? Tom! He had people film me for a “ life in the life“. I felt like a movie star. On top of that, I was able to be a productive and positive participant in life. Thanks for representing me, Tom. Thank you so much.

I would like to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to the law firm of Jonathan D’Agostino & Associates. I was very nervous & not knowing what to expect at my first meeting with Jenna D’Agostino. She was very comforting & very kind. When I left our meeting that day I felt a sense of relief & was feeling a little more confident. I would also like to say thank you to Toni & Stephanie for being so helpful & so patient with me with any questions, cares, & concerns that I had had. But I must say, a very big thank you to Mr. Edward J.Pavia for fighting for me & winning my case. You told me sometimes these things take a little time & to be patient, & you were absolutely right. Thank you for making my life a little bit easier & a little less worrisome. I will always be grateful. Sincerely, Karen M.Moss

Just want to put a precautionary warning out there to anyone who might have a will, living will, power of attorney, or any other legal documents written by this firm: Please take all those documents to another lawyer to have them read and explained to you. Please ask as many questions as you can so you fully understand what was written by this law firm. Believe me, no matter how old they are or if they were written last week, I highly recommend having another lawyer look over those documents to either save yourself, or your loved ones, undue stress and anxiety in the future. You’ll thank me.

Mr. Carmano represented me in several traffic matters. He was extremely professional easy to work with, and he was able to talk to the prosecutors and judge in a very non-confrontational way and help me settle my cases amicably. I strongly recommend him as your attorney, if you are interested in somebody who will work with you and care about your issues.

Mr. Carmano was recommended to me through a friend of a friend. Mr. Carmano helped that client with his multiple DUI charges. He was able to lessen his suspension time by months. I had a DUI case and was facing 6 months of suspension and a ton surcharges and fees. With Mr. Carmano's years of experience and knowledge of the law he was able to file a motion, that I was pulled over for unjustified reasons. I have no record and had never been arrested before prior to this incident. Needless, to say his motion was accepted by the judge and my case was completely DISMISSED!! No DUI no surcharges no tickets no fees. Just a lesson learned! He also has a pleasant and informative secretary that will call you and email you to update you on your court dates. Overall, Mr Carmano is GREAT!! He is updated with the newest laws and is really there to help you. He is also easy to talk too and patient when explaining exactly what is going on in your case. He is the Best of the Best!

I have worked with a handful of lawyers in my life, and although I didn’t end up going through with my case this time, I did have a great experience talking with Ms. Johnson about it. I found her to be very knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and compassionate. She’s respectful but direct, which is actually a very difficult balance to maintain. Perhaps what I appreciated most about her was her constructive positivity, or maybe it’s better phrased, positive realism? I don’t know how to put this, but I think most people that live in American Society today will understand what I’m talking about: It’s so unhelpful to seek advice from people who blow sunshine and rainbows up your butt when the situation, as it stands, is not looking good and it needs to be addressed. Thanks to the things that Miss Johnson pointed out, I feel much more empowered to overcome my circumstances, albeit using a different path than I had previously imagined. I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking help, especially those who wish to work with someone who treats them with dignity, empathy, and respect. Sadly, that is not a given anymore, and I just find it extremely valuable, definitely worth touting on the internet.

I had a consultation with Ms Johnson yesterday and I am so happy I did. Although we are not going to take the case further together, I am planning on keeping her name in my back pocket for other issues in the future future because out of all of the lawyers I’ve interacted with in my life, (which is more than I would care to remember) I think Miss Johnson is really unique. She is easy to talk to and really funny, but she’s also extremely smart and clearly knows what she’s talking about. She knew exactly what she was looking for and she was able to explain to me what was wrong with it and what i could do about it. She gave me a lot of useful information that I needed to know in order to at least give me a fighting chance. “Character is how you treat people who can't do anything for you in return.” Nelson Mandella

We retained this law firm for the sale of our home and the purchase of our new one. Ed and his team are very effective and communicative. Any and all of our concerns and questions were answered immediately via phone and/or email. We were assured during what is an inherently stressful process that we had the support of this great team of lawyers and paralegals. Lais was there for us every step of the way and we could not be more thankful for the assistance the firm provided us in closing these deals. We would highly recommend them.

When I went to see him the first time, he sounded as if he has been handling discrimination cases for years. 7 months and a few thousand dollars after I provided him with information, sorted out what needs to be done (because he doesn’t want to pay for assistant) nothing was done. He was supposed to get paid for filing and deposition, etc. When I finally realized that he didn’t do anything and asked him to refund me and for my file, he then told me that he asked and was told that legally, I should’ve gone through other venues before I seek a lawyer. Either he deliberately kept asking for money because he’s a con or he doesn’t know the law; either way, he is not someone you want anywhere near your case. To top it off, he told me that he KNOWS that he owes me, that he didn’t do anything but he “can’t afford to repay me” therefore, he will do something for me, like if I wanted to start a non for profit or fill out some forms “a few thousand dollars worth of forms?” rather than give me back what he owes me. Not only that he didn’t pay me back, sespite many calls and requests, he absolutely refuses to give me back my file. He promissed me many times that he'll be there and give them to me, and when I go to the appointment, he either is not there, or he simply tells me that he didn't get a chance to get the BOX from storage! They are not heavy, it's a few papers, what box. Stay far, far away from him. He is an embarrassment to his profession.

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.
