Taff handles cases knowledgeable and courteously. He eases any fears and discomforts while going through a difficult time. He treated me with respect and professionalism, and most of all he really seemed to care about helping me recover from such a tough time - financially as well as emotionally.

I was arrested on multiple DUI charges and other misdemeanors over a short period of time. I hired Mr. Wren to handle all of the legal proceedings and he did a fantastic job. Though I thought I was facing possible felony charges, Mr. Wren was able to resolve all cases as misdemeanors through negotiations with judges, prosecutors, and court staff. He was even able to get some charges to reckless driving, although I have a substantial DUI history. I have worked in the legal profession myself, and personally know that this result is almost unheard of in situations such as mine. His knowledge of DUI law, the relationships he has developed with court administrators throughout the metro Atlanta area, his negotiation and trial acumen, and his willingness to do the utmost to protect his client's rights, allowed him to resolve all of my cases with results I cannot believe to this day. With Mr. Wren, I always knew what could happen on the day I had to appear in court, though on each occasion, Mr. Wren's skill achieved a better result than I could have imagined. For example, a solicitor had offered a 2nd DUI in 5 years plea which I was set to plea to on a particular date. This plea could have resulted in, among other things, substantial fines and jail time, having to install an intoxilyzer on my vehicle, and the loss of my license for a year. By the time we walked out of court that day, Mr. Wren had convinced the solicitor to drop the charge to a reckless driving. Unbelievavble! I went from thinking I was going to jail to not even losing my license within a matter of hours, all because of Mr. Wren. Mr. Wren is wise beyond his years and acts and works as if he has been doing this for decades. I would recommend him to anyone. His dedication to his profession and willingness to work hard for every client make Mr. Wren one of the finest lawyers I have ever worked with professionally or in dealing with my personal struggles. In a few words, I am grateful and blessed that Mr. Wren was my attorney. Thank you Mr. Wren!

Thanks again Taff!

I called to get some information about my speeding ticket in a school zone. Melody made a few calls and gave me my options. She even gave me a personal recommendation and told me if I still needed assistance that she would make the two hour drive to attend court with me! Luckily it just costs me some money but I am very glad for her help!

Jerry is a terrific lawyer. My son was questioned by Homeland Security agents on a Sunday of a 4th of July weekend. He found Jerry on the internet and called him. Jerry answered the phone, he was in his office. He met my son that day. My wife and I met with him later and he seemed to understand the process very well. We hired him. What a great attorney. He was knowledgeable, a skilled negotiator, very good in court, and dedicated to my son's case. He made himself 100% available, the guy answers his phone at any hour! We knew that my son was guilty, but after several meetings with the prosecutor and court hearings he struck an agreement. My son was looking at 8-10 years hard time. He is serving 18 months in a prison camp. We paid Jerry a good sum, but it was well spent. I would recommend him highly.

It is actually an understatement to call him brilliant. My case with the federal government extended over ten years. His diligence to the law and detail was surpassed by none of the other defendants' attorneys. I trusted him completely with my future and never had any reason to second guess his abilities or knowledge. He was always available when I had questions or concerns . He was well respected and received by all in the courtroom.

I was facing a DUI charge with 0.160 BAC, and my license was confiscated by the arresting officer. To make matters worse, I held a Florida license. I knew I needed a lawyer, and boy am I glad I chose Eric Landon Gay! Mr. Gay immediately consulted me on a course of action regarding the ALS hearing, which is separate from the actual criminal DUI case, that decides whether your license will be suspended pre-trial. Mr. Gay was able to get my charges reduced to a lesser offense of reckless driving, and was able to get a dismissal at the ALS hearing. Thanks to Mr. Eric Landon Gay, I did not lose my license and did not get convicted of DUI. Throughout the whole experience, Mr. Gay was very professional and courteous. He took the time to answer all of my questions and get the answers that I needed. I highly recommend Mr. Gay for any legal concerns you may have.

A friend recommended Mr. Ison Jr. a day and a half before our court date. We contacted his office with less than 24 hours to go, discussed the case and he thought he could help and agreed to be in Lamar County the next morning. He is knowledgeable, helped tremendously by knowing the prosecutor, handled our case very well and sure saved us from a long, hard day on our own. I can't recommend Mr. Tommy Ison Jr. any more highly than that and he is down to earth and friendly on top of all that. HIGHLY satisfied and great job!

Mr. Ison kept me informed every step of the way and that was what I appreciated the most. What started out as a felony ended up as a misdemeanor and that, as I have come to know, makes all the difference in the world. Mr. Ison took the time to explain to me all the different possible outcomes of the case and what the consequences would be. He was extremely knowledgeable and seemed to work well with the prosecutor. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who finds themselves stuck in a hard place.

I have hired Marny twice for myself, for serious traffic-related matters. Marny was able to win both cases.
One case was dismissed, and one case was reduced to reckless driving, which I consider a "win" when charged with DUI. These outcomes were a necessity, given my professional career and reputation.
Additionally, Marny was able to win a minor traffic case for my son in juvenile court, which resulted from a ticket received after a minor traffic accident.

Marny did everything for me. She had charges suppressed due to evidence problems and she stood by me for two years. She advised me the entire time. She was always there for me in court and outside of court. She walked me through every process.

Marny represented me in court for a minor traffic violation because I was from out of state and couldn't make in back for the mandatory court appearance. The violation resulted in an accident that I was 'technically' at fault in. I had pictures to back up my assertion that the signs were obstructed.
Marny returned my call 10 minutes after I left a message, on a holiday weekend. She explained all my options to me and from that point forward
did exactly what she said she would do, every time she said she would do it. She was reliable during a time when I needed it and was able to get the violation reduced to a no points violation and I was able to plead no contest. She responded to my emails and texts promptly and was always on the phone when I needed to discuss something. This is very rare in today's world and I couldn't have been happier with Marny.
I would highly recommend Marny to anyone needing help with any kind of driving offense. Thank you Marny!

I highly recommend Lisanne she’s absolutely awesome. She was there for me when i was at my worst in my life. I was pushed in a corner with my back against the wall facing a serious aggravate assault & i almost lost everything i worked so hard for until i met Lisanne. She made me feel so comfortable treated me like family she would always check in on me to make sure i wasn’t stressing about the situation. She told me to just relax & keep the criminal stuff with her & live my daily life. She worked so hard for me & my results were amazing. I know these lawyers get paid for what they do but i can honestly say she has her heart in it & she enjoys what she does. She has a passion for this i love her so much for helping me get back to my life with no record.

I had the bad luck of being in the right place at the wrong time! A total miscarriage of justice began on that major Holiday weekend (remember Holiday, no judge, no Bond) putting me in jail…a “scared straight-type experience”!! The recommendation of a close friend put The Don Turner Legal Team, of which Attorney Lisanne Edelman is a key player, in touch with my wife, and Don showed up at the earliest possible moment that the judicial system would allow. Don assured me he would do everything in his power to help me, and he immediately did. Don was a familiar face with a strong and solid reputation with the Magistrate & Prosecutor, and he secured my immediate release.
When I went to the law office, Don & Lisanne explained exactly what I had been charged with and we reviewed some scenarios, all while they reassured me that they truly believed the outcome would be favorable. In the months before my court date, if I had a question that one of the staff members couldn't answer, Lisanne would call me very quickly. Lisanne Edelman is a terrific attorney who doggedly pursues the issues to their ultimate favorable resolution! Don’s office staff, notably Ashley is a fantastic administrator, who “keeps all the plates spinning” in the office!!! Lisanne does everything to lessen the burden on you and help you deal with the obvious issues that are going on in your life. She was more than helpful, extremely polite, and very open-armed when it came to me having any questions at all. She went out of her way to make sure that I had all the information available to me when I needed it.
As the court dates become closer, I naturally became very nervous and Don & Lisanne told me to not worry. They reviewed all the evidence and felt good about potential outcomes. Inevitability, Lisanne contacted me to let me know the court date had finally been set. That’s when Lisanne went into 6th gear while continuously reassuring me! Don & Lisanne’s collective Judicial system experience and relationships resulted in the most favorable outcome possible for me! A potential travesty of justice was averted, and ALL because I had the Great fortune to have Lisanne Edelman on my Team watching my back!!
I would highly recommend Lisanne Edelman & The Don Turner Legal Team! I feel good talking with them, they listen to what I have to say, and first & foremost, I trust Lisanne & the Don Turner Legal Team!!
Their slogan really is Really true, they truly are “Dedicated to Serving Clients in an Extraordinary Manner”!
Lisanne, the words Thank You can’t express my gratitude adequately!

I went from total fear and panic to feeling relieved and confident that my case would be worked out favorably, and it was. I've known several people who have hired him, and each of them have said the same. You can expect the best-case scenario.
His staff is nice and helpful. His offices are clean and inviting. I could not be more satisfied.

I am privileged to be represented by Mr Keith Adams on an old case lingering for 16 years. Placed on dead docket.
I was then referred to Mr Adams.
He was compassionate and caring. On our first appearance before the judge and the prosecutors, he was able to get the case dismissed.
I’ve heard about his skills and professionalism in the court room, but I have never witnessed such a magician in a court room. His presence was graceful, commanding and respectful.
I hope i never have to face anymore criminal matters again. But if i know anyone who’s facing any legal issues, i’ll definitely and seriously recommend Mr Adams.
Once again sir, i thank you from the bottom of my heart for advocating for me.
God bless you and your family sir.
Sincerely,

At sentencing she did the best she could to make sure that I received the least amount of time. Now after sentencing she is still working hard for me because I have so many medical problems and she is making sure that I get the best things possible with the situation.

Fakiha's knowledge, courtroom abilities and pre-trial preparation helped me get kids custody as well as a just and equitable division. She was instrumental in being able to communicate to the court my side of the story with facts and witnesses where required. There are no winners in family court but she did a great job in representing and fighting my case. Anyone going through a difficult time can always connect with Fakiha and get consultation and make a decision on their own to retain her services. I can highly recommend her based on my experience.

I retained Ms. Fakiha Khans legal services earlier this year. My sister was going through a very difficult divorce with her ex who was extremely conniving and abusive during the marriage. We had changed several attorneys , and the case had still not been finalized in 3 years! I lived in another state, my parents lived over seas, and my poor sister was left all alone to deal with this bad situation. Being a single mom with two little ones, she was thousands of dollars into attorney fees, not to mention the aggravation of dealing with the court system. Overwhelmed and disappointed, she did not know where to turn to when our last attorney started asking for more money.
A lady at the salon my sister went to recommended Fakiha Khan. The lady had gone through a similar experience with a controlling ex. We spoke to Fakiha on the phone, and immediately retained her services. It was the best decision we made!! Let me start by saying , Fakiha Khan is an amazing human being! She's has been there to guide us and advise in every step of the way. She has made herself available to listen to us and help us every time we've. needed her. This is a quality we have have been unable to find in any other attorney we have dealt with in the past. During our court trial, Fakiha was a shark! She was so well prepared, articulate, to the point, made sure she addressed all the issues important to us, and with minimal words and perfect examples was able to portray my sisters ex as he was. She also put up with no bullshit from the opposing attorney. And of course we won the case! Trust me when I tell you, she is fantastic! I expect for my sisters ex to create problems for her in the future, but I also know who I will be calling up when that time comes. Fakiha, thank you for all you have done for us! My sister and our family are very grateful to you. Whoever is reading this review, i guarantee you will be not be disappointed. I know this is a very long review, but I can't put into words how blessed and grateful we feel to have found someone as smart, kind and compassionate as Fakiha.

She is an asset to her firm and I’m so happy I have her to represent me!!

I would highly recommend the Bratcher Firm.”

Mr. Walker has served as my general counsel for about three years. He has advised me in a tricky traffic case, represented me in my divorce, and advised me on personal business and other legal matters.
Mr. Walker is extremely intelligent, knowledgeable, and pleasant to work with. I am particularly impressed with his writing skills; his documents show legal competence but are also comprehensible and straight forward.
He was considerate of my desires in handling my divorce and, even when we disagreed about the right course of action, complied cheerfully with my requests.
I have recommended them to my business and many of my friends.
Please note that there is another copy of my review with all ratings marked "Poor", that was a mistake; I meant for all ratings to be "Excellent" and this review is a correction.

Wayland Worked with me on a not very complicated or contested divorce. He explained all of my options and ways to do things. he was not very expensive and kept in touch with me about every question or situation that came up. The only drawback that I could even think about is that he has not practiced a lot here in Athens yet and may not be very well known around the town. I have recommended him to others and he is working with one right now.

From my initial contact with them, they were very helpful and informative. They provide resources as well as referrals since my concern wasn’t in their scope of practice. She was very nice and pleasant and easy to talk to and even though I didn’t catch the call the first time they made the effort to contact me to make sure that I was taken care of. I would definitely refer them and hopefully I do not need any services in the future, but if I do, they would be my choice.

I have been dealing with The Nye Law Group for a little over 2 months now. Mr. Nye is one of the most personable, reasonable, understanding people that I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Every question I have had, has been answered with perfect clarity, in a timely manner. Mr. Nye has gone far above and beyond my expectations.
If you're reviewing law groups to handle your legal matters, your search ends here. Seriously, it would be a crime to not hire this firm. I have dealt with all manners of lawyers in the state of Georgia, and this firm is fantastic, the best by far.
So do yourself a favor, stop reading and give these gentlemen a ring.

I could never understand the magnitude and depths of their motto “Aggressive Representation” until I found myself indicted on federal charges in which the court reassured me with all certainty that I would face several years if found guilty. I was immediately made aware that most federal cases do not avoid going to trial, regardless of whether they have little or much evidence. The chances of the government dropping the charges, as cited in past cases involving the government, were slim to totally impossible. I was in dire need of an attorney with “Aggressive Representation.” I had never been in trouble with the law before, and could not image going to prison for something I did not commit. Fear and anxiety kept me awake at night all of these things are in the past now, because today, against all odds, I am free, and I owe that to the “Aggressive Representation” of Nye and Siamos Attorneys at Law. From the very beginning, my attorney, Attorney Nye, proved that my best interest was of primary importance. We built an attorney/client relationship from the threshold of the legal process. Communication, whether through phone calls or visits to the firm, were consistent and meaningful. He helped me to understand all of the particulars of my case, and kept me informed of our progress. He examined and reexamined witnesses to get to the truth. He spoke to necessary persons with boldness, confidence, and competence concerning me. There was never a time when I did not feel that Attorney Nye was not fighting relentlessly for me. When he learned that the government had dropped the case and that my federal case was not going to trial, I was notified about the news and that I could start enjoying life again. What I take from my experience with this Law Firm is that there are many Law Firms in the local Savannah area with a solid reputation for years of service, but knowing whom to call and choosing the right one is the difference between winning and losing. I CHOSE THE RIGHT LAW FIRM! Their expertise, skill, and superior service are established on a solid foundation. Had it not been for their diligence to fight on my behalf, my story might not have a happy ending. Thank you, Attorney Nye.

I was charged with a DUI and reckless driving and I found the law firm while searching through google. I was connected with (and hired) Jessica Jones and she was able to walk me through my case and offered her best legal counsel. I really appreciate her efforts in keeping me up to date and fighting for me to get the best possible deal. She was able to immensely reduce my sentence and got both my dui and reckless driving dismissed! So glad to have worked with Jessica and this law firm!

I researched the web for a lawyer in a matter that was critical and timely. I took a chance and simply guessed that Nathan would be appropriate for my case. He performed very well and was successful in helping me and coincidentally I needed him for another case which he performed in the same stable manner and we were successful once again. From afar I lucked out in finding Nathan.

Bob Ruben along with partner Doug Peters were incredible! I was falsely accused of molesting my 4 yr old daughter by a jealous ex and they fought hard for the truth and won my case. What mattered most to me is that they genuinely cared about my case and what I was going through. Bob was always there to answer my questions, patient, understanding, compassionate, honest and loyal. He didnt just tell me what I wanted to hear but what I needed to hear.
Watching Bob work on the case pretrial was impressive in itself but watching him in action during the trial was incredible! He was well prepared during his direct and cross and in my opinion completely annihilated the state. He was likeable to the jury and hit on perfect points with each witness that took the stand for both the states side and ours to ensure the jury saw the truth.
Now a free man and seeking full custody of my daughter, I will always hold Bob dear to my heart for getting my life back and my daughters. He didnt just treat me as a client but as family.

I contacted Peters, Rubin and Sheffield about the defense of my grandchild. I talked to Foss Hodges. My grandchild had been charged with Shaken Baby Syndrome which had become murder along with several other charges. After giving Foss the history of the charges that had been filed Foss set up an appointment for our family members with Robert Rubin, Dick Peters and him self to discuss the aspects of the case and how to proceed. They were very willing to listen to our concerns and addressed each and every one of them. They kept us well informed as to their progress in revealing the facts about what had actually happened in our case. As their investigation went forward several meetings were held to keep us informed. I was totally impressed with their expertise down to the smallest aspects of the case and the importance of them. They reveled to us the prosecutions view of what had happened. I believe most important they found out what didn't happen that should have happened. All of their knowledge and hard work along with the impeccable expert witnesses they provided at trial resulted in not guilty verdicts. Robert and Foss showed concern not only for my grandchild but our family also. I cannot express how pleased and thankful my family are for Robert Rubin and Foss Hodges and the members of their team. We most highly recommend them for your legal needs.

Bob met with me the Sunday after getting out of jail. He was very professional and did not have to take on my case. He really seemed to care. He takes his job seriously and works his hardest to get the best possible outcome for your case. His partners at his firm are also stand-up men. I would never go to anyone but Bob... but first, I would stay out of trouble. He has received many awards and believes in justice for his clients.
When first meeting with Bob and after explaining everything about my case, he told me specifically, "Let me worry about this and you do everything you can to go on with your life positively." He really relieved my stress to a minimal, which I had a lot of stress, knowing that he was going to represent me.
My charges were dismissed thanks to Bob.

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.
