Foss was very thorough in everything he did from investigation to validating facts to learning the personalities of the court and DA. He obviously had learned much over his years in practice and had a plan, but was not so rigid that he did not adjust with the situation. Always thinking ahead, he was prepared for different possibilities in each instance. A very intelligent gentleman who used good manners and remained calm at every turn. He was interested in hearing our input about the case and answering any questions we had. He communicated, even over communicated, to make sure we understood. Although the case was long, he was just as engaged at the end as at the beginning. We felt like we mattered to him as people and not just another win he could chalk up. We hope to never need his services again, but wouldn't hesitate a moment to engage him if the need arose.

After some searching, I found Foss Hodges and set up a time and an interview. Foss wanted to meet the entire family and the friends anyone who could show up, Foss began to introduce himself and more importantly wanted to know about me and my family. Foss cared it was the first time I had spoken to someone who wanted to actually hear from my family and was willing to speak with them about the case to help ease any confusion we may have. Also, a huge plus was he wanted to work with experts, and he had some of his own including wanting to give the one I had in mind a call and to at least learn with them. Foss gave us a checklist to do with everything he needed and as well as anything we thought would help him in any way. Then we went to work, we were a team working towards one goal and that was to prove my innocence and to put my family back together. Foss Hodges first act of business is very unique, it's to stop and indictment if it hasn’t been indicted already. He states very clearly, I can't promise you anything but the fact I will give you the best effort and I am going to put in the work. Any lawyer that tells you they can promise you a dropped case or an innocent verdict is something to pay attention to because that is not a thing. Foss then asks me to take a polygraph and then came to my house personally to do a walk through and see my house and exactly how the incident transpired. Foss took the extra steps to fully understand what happened and educated himself about the step by step instead of just taking my statement and that’s it. Foss wants to be there and see it with his own eyes, then after that he wants to try to meet the District Attorney to stop the Indictment if possible. We waited a year and a half it felt like before the DA responded to him then she would talk about meeting and then leave the office and someone else would get the case, or it would be “lost” for a few months then a new DA would take it and not respond to him all over again. Foss was persistent and never stopped with the correspondence to try to get a meeting to show the binder he built with all of his hard work and the expert testimonies with the polygraph test and all the Character reference letters with photos of the family and all. Foss kept my family updated and was very frequent with phone calls and if you had a rough time, you could just call him to talk, he was there for me and my wife in a time where we didn’t know what to do. Foss fought for my life for 3 years he won a bond modification to get me home to my family then 8 months later he went on to meet with the DA over my case and she dropped all charges over a six-minute phone call with my wife. Foss Hodges gave me my life back I have never seen anyone care or work so hard for anyone in my life, he was exceeding and doing things every lawyer I worked with before was just not there. I would trust Foss hodges with my life again and I am telling you if you are uncertain about the situation you are in and if you are reading this, I know your scared like I was. Please just give him a call and at the very least listen to what he has to say let him hear your story and then let him work for you like he did for me. He can't promise you the same outcome as me but that’s what he told me too and here I am writing this review after being free from the nightmare with a healthy family working on my master's because of this man. I owe him my life.

I really appreciate all of the hard work and dedication that Foss put into my case I could absolutely not have asked for anyone better to have represented me. He made sure he’s there with me step-by-step through the entire process and made sure to keep me updated on everything that was going on in the case I felt like I was in the best possible hands. I can absolutely not thank him enough, and I can absolutely not recommend him enough.

I was pulled over on the side of the road. It was not a good situation. Car was mess, air bags deployed and my passenger was very intoxicated. I got a ticket for unsafe vehicle, expired tag and arrested for Driving Under the Influence. This is a second offense for me. I spoke to Kevin. Retained him. He went to court with me and got the DUI dismissed. 100% dismissed. I had to pay fines on the tag and unsafe vehicle which I had no problem paying. Happy to have Kevin help me out on this one.

contated a great attorney in Birmingham, Alabama as I was having an issue with license in Georgia. I called an attorney that he referred me to and it happened to be Kevin Fisher. Kevin was able to help me out and provided me great advice and guidance on how to go about getting my license reinstated. I was successful with his advice and am very happy. Thanks Kevin.

Stopped when driving and then arrested for a DUI. I contacted Kevin Fisher to see if he could help me out. Over several months, Kevin worked the case and was able to get a great outcome for me. My DUI was changed to a lower offense. Throughout the case, Kevin did a great job in keeping me and my family updated. Always did a good job in responding to emails and phone calls. Appreciate your help Kevin.

David was a real pleasure to work with during a difficult time for me after a bad decision. No judgement from him, just a "Get to Work on this" attitude.
David kept me updated as often as needed and also was kind enough to hear me out at any time regarding my case.
I was very pleased with his service and his follow up to make sure things progressed as we expected.
Even though my case required a little extra work, David never let me down and we had a good result.
Highly recommended!

I had the privilege of working with Attorney Caycie on my child support modification case, and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. From the beginning, she demonstrated deep knowledge of family law, guiding me through the entire process with confidence and professionalism.
What stood out the most was her attention to detail and genuine concern for my situation. Attorney Caycie was always available to answer my questions, kept me updated on every development, and provided clear explanations of complex legal matters, ensuring I fully understood my options.
Thanks to Attorney Caycie's expertise and dedication, we achieved a successful modification that best serve the needs of my children and ensures a fair arrangement. I highly recommend the whole team of Daniels & Taylor, P.C. - Lawrenceville, GA, especially Attorney Caycie, to anyone seeking legal representation in family law matters.

I have received legal counsel from Melanie Ellwanger for almost 2 years in several cases and I don’t know where I would be right now if I had not come across her and her Law Firm. From the very start she was dedicated to my cases and an integral part of my navigation through the Georgia Legal System as well an all-around genuine and understanding individual who holds zero prejudice, as you could imagine I’m not very proud of the mistakes I’ve made but not once did I feel embarrassed or ashamed as one might through lenses that other see them, she had my back 110% and tried her absolute best to get the best results and she delivers. She is known all around and regarded by her peers I have seen it firsthand in multiple occasions and if you hire her you will know you made the right decision. She’s has always been available and responded and guided me through everything I needed regarding my cases. Our hope is to never have to hire an attorney but if you happen to be in a circumstance where you do look no further Hire ME Law.

Mr Ryan Bramblett,
Was the lawyer I had. When I meet the man for the first time I was sitting in jail with no bond. As of today my case is dropped. All because of the lawyer named above.
As a added note when we where talking As he was telling me the good news. I had something that happened 2 me a few years back and, His mannerism of how he handled the case from start to finish and everything he did in between it's the reason why I'm coming to the guy with more business. The man is worth the price he ask in my opinion.
Thank you sir for what you did.
Sincerely,
John Thomas

To sum things up ... work with Eric, without hesitation!! I had an unusual case that fell through cracks within the Fulton county judicial system - leaving me with an arrest warrant 5 years after the fact. Eric helped me get the case dismissed within weeks! When it comes to helping his clients, Ericis bar-none. We picked up the matter years later, and he was super responsive whether it was text, email, phone, weekday or weekend. Highly highly recommend. Thanks Eric!

He showed up to my court date well-prepared and confident, which made a huge difference. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, my charges were significantly reduced, and I felt reassured throughout the entire process.

Crawford and Boyle were recommended to me by a lawyer friend who did not practice the type of law I needed. They are knowledgeable, well connected in the community and have a great report with the clients. They had a fair price for what I needed done and gave me several options on how to pay. They were quick on their side with getting the correct forms filed and the right hearings set up. The county solicitor on the other hand was very slow and the entire process took over 2 years to be resolved. Despite the extended time to resolve my case, David Boyle was very thorough in keeping me informed and up to date. He made me feel confident that their plan to have my charges dismissed would be the inevitable outcome and he was right.
I do not plan on needing an attorney again in my lifetime, but if I do I will definitely be contacting them again.

This was not something that I take lightly at all, and Davis and Kimberly were constantly there slowly walking me through every detail and answering every question that was necessary. They made this horrific process so easy for me by being the best at their job and it really showed. They never stopped fighting for me and working around the clock to support me, and for that I am forever grateful. They both care deeply for all of their clients and the compassion they showed to me truly was a light in an extremely dark time! 1000% would recommend to anyone who asks for a defense attorney!!

I cannot thank Lisa Burris enough for the incredible support she provided during a highly stressful situation. I had a tenant who unlawfully terminated his lease without notice, leaving me in a bind. With very little time to resolve the issue, I reached out to Lisa, and she immediately stepped in to help.
Despite the last-minute nature of my request, Lisa handled everything with the utmost professionalism and efficiency. She thoroughly explained my legal options, helped me navigate the complexities of the situation, and took swift action to protect my rights. Her expertise and calm demeanor were exactly what I needed during such a challenging time.
Thanks to Lisa's guidance, I was able to resolve the issue quickly and with minimal stress. I highly recommend Lisa Burris to anyone in need of legal assistance—she truly goes above and beyond for her clients!

I reached out to Lisa on Sunday evening with details of my case and she had given me a call the very next day by 2pm. This was a very fast turn-around. First, she was extremely kind and knowledgable. She sat on the phone with me for nearly 30 minutes and gave so much insight on how the eviction process works. I feel more aware and confident about moving forward with the process. She didn't sugarcoat anything and was totally honest about what to expect. I highly recommend she be your first stop for all of your eviction needs.

We suffered a case that the tenant did not pay rent over 2 years. Every time, the tenant filed an appeal or motion, just trying to delay the eviction. I turned to Lisa for some help. She quickly jump in my case, prepare the documents, coordinated with Federal and County court. All she did are so prompt, and professional. I finally evicted the tenant within 1 month. That is a great outcome! Definitely recommend her if you have similar issue as landlord.

Holly Waltman not only took a professional interest in my criminal case, but she took a personal interest and stood beside me for nine long months reviewing facts and evidence and building a strong defense based upon the facts and the truth.
Holly did an outstanding job with her presentations, arguments, and selection of expert witnesses in support of the trial.
After a week-long trial and facing Life in Prison, the jury returned a NOT GUILTY verdict on all four felony charges: Rape, Aggravated Sexual Battery, Aggravated Assault, and False Imprisonment.
If you are facing criminal charges in the Metro Atlanta Area, look no further, set up an appointment with Holly Waltman, hire her and let her start building your defense now.
In closing, Holly believed in me, believed in the truth, and the truth won, and I get to return to my family and friends to enjoy the rest of my life.

I was being unjustly sued by my HOA and called Atty Wyatt for representation. He patiently listened to details of the case, asked pertinent questions over the phone. His amazing receptionist quickly scheduled an appt. and Atty Wyatt refused to charge me. I could have paid him personally and I also had membership in a corporate legal plan and again, he refused to charge me a dime. Atty Wyatt gave excellent advice, composed a response to the HOA's claims and it was filed the same day! The services and time that Atty Wyatt provided would have easily been billed at $4000 or more at a firm that would have done 1/3 of the work that he did. He did not know me from Eve and is the absolute nicest and most jovial attorney I've ever met! I'm happy to report that the case was DISMISSED due to the kindness and exemplary legal advice of Atty Justin Wyatt! Thank you for stellar advice!

We hired Justin for a highly contentious case. Over the course of three very long years, he listened and used his high energy approach to help us get to a place where we won. He worked to give us realistic advice, but when the right opportunities came during the case he jumped on them. We had a good relationship with Justin and have recommended him to others. We will likely never need his services again, but if the need does arise for some reason, we will be calling him.

Moreover, what sets Attorney Ivory apart is his dedication to his clients. He consistently followed up with updates, ensuring that I was informed and comfortable throughout the entire process. His attention to detail and responsiveness truly made me feel like a priority.

Tracy was a God given angel to me and my family. I was charged with false allegations and sent a TPO. After consulting with Tracy, she handled the case and told me to not speak at the hearing. I am normally a very strong willed person, but she went in and got the JOB DONE. I was awarded fees in the hearing. She proved that this plaintiff was a liar and acted upon malicious and retaliatory purposes. Not only did Tracy admonish the plaintiff, the judge did as well given Tracy's arguments' and defense strategy.

My husband at the time literally stole my inheritance. When I confronted him, he attacked me, I fought back and I got charged with battery because he called the cops first. Then he did a a TPO and barred me from seeing my children.
With all these charges, Tracy was referred to me by a good friend. Once she was on the case, everything turned in my favor. She was able to give me custody of my kids while I had a TPO on me which never happens. She also got my battery case dismissed. My husband told me he wished she was his attorney and said that will be our family attorney.
All I can say was she was a rock when I was at my lowest point and she got me through it. Her knowledge of the criminal justice system and TPOs are amazing. If you hire her, you will not be disappointed.

I was in my cell never been to jail before. I was scared in an unknown space. Disconnected from my world and my freedom I didn’t know what my future was going to be. On rock bottom. I was called for an attorney visit a very energetic bubbly blonde woman with a MCM bag begins to speak to me I automatically felt safe she told me her creditials and I automatically had a little hope. Tracy was humble, fun and energetic. You wouldn’t know how big of a deal she is because she is so humble I can’t come up with any other words to describe her. She got my TPO dismisses between me and my wife she was diplomatic with my in-laws she even came to my divorce hearing to make sure everything was safe. She works tirelessly and ethically. She is a joy for the justice system here in Georgia and you won’t find a better attorney here in Georgia

This was my first time ever getting a DUI, at 41 and with a CDL it was a BIG NO and a eye opener, but with the help of Sara Gheesling and her team from Lawson and Berry Attorneys at Law, my life and my situation definitely got handled, specially my DUI got reduced because I was instructed to do all my classes and community service ahead of time. This is and will be a once in a life time mistake for me and I’ve learned a lot from it, but the situation got handled in the most professional ways and I did not have to do much but follow simple instructions. With this being said, you can always count on them to do the job right.

Had a DUI charge, she had got the charge dismissed due to Sara's knowledge of the law and extensive research into my case, best money I have ever spent, thank you so much Sara.

I was charged with a DUI and thanks to Sara, it got reduced to reckless driving because she told me exactly what I needed to do to make that happen. Hiring her was the best decision I’d ever made. - JRK

So I was referred to Attorney rouse by a good friend of my mother. I’m a cdl driver so I was looking for someone to help me with a major traffic violation that could have my license revoked for a long time. I called Mr. Rouse and he was very open about how we could go about things and what we should do moving forward with the case. He actually was very reasonable with pricing and worked with me as far as my budget. He advised me before I went to court to take a driver improvement course and to do some community service to make it a little easier on myself before going in front of the judge.this was actually great advice. We went to court and to my surprise the clerks and judge knew him on first name basis(that made me feel good) everything that he asked for , the judge granted. I left the court room only with a 300 dollar fine and no points on my cdl. Well later that night I didn’t know the rules as far as punishment for serious violations for cdl drivers. I check the dds and my cdl is suspended for 10 years, for a major lifetime violation. I immediately called attorney rouse and informed him. He advised me that the only thing we possibly could do was withdraw the plea. Normally with most lawyers, after the case is closed you have to pay another fee just to consult again. Attorney rouse was at the court house the next morning, I met him there and we withdrew the plea. Days passed by and I was weary because i was in fear of losing my livelihood. Attorney rouse advised me that since the head solicitor was not willing to give us a lesser please maybe we should try a bench trial. In my head when I think of trial, if you lose it could be bad for you. Of course this came with another fee, I really didn’t wanna try it but I took a step out in faith and trusted attorney rouse’s suggestion. We went to the bench trial and attorney rouse ate them alive. He told me months before, “ you could possibly beat this off of a technicality” I’m thinking nah man I’m cooked! Attorney rouse did his research and I walk out of the court room acquitted, all charges dropped. Before the trial attorney rouse and I talked about the fans leaving the stadium in the at the Atlanta Falcons vs. Tampa game and they still won. I’m not gonna lie I thought I was doomed but I watched him work in that court room for 2 hours straight, objection after objection…. When we walked out he looked at me and said you left the stadium but we won in OT! Hire this firm…. We highly recommend this guy. He’s straight up and down

I was referred to Attorney Rouse after a few consultations I made with other attorneys that didn’t go quite so well. You can probably only imagine all the anxiety and stress that builds up by not knowing what to exactly expect (much like most) in an unfamiliar situation like this. I must say, most of my concerns, my questions and options were pretty much communicated to me in layman’s terms, I felt a sense of ease and quite impressed with my experience in every point of communication. Attorney Rouse was always professional and very patient with making sure he educates you on his knowledge and strategy so you will leave the conversation with some comfort in knowing that both parties are clear in regards to the desired outcome in mind so you just simply have to “Trust the Process”! I must admit by making the choice to choose Attorney Rouse for representation, the overall experience completely exceeded my all of my expectations. For anyone looking to work with an Attorney, who operates with integrity, professionally in such a manner that is not usually represented in the field of Attorneys(I really wish I did not have to point this out), I would definitely (highly) suggest that you reach out Attorney Rouse for consultation. You will quickly realize why you would choose him to represent you. Thank you for creating a safe space/ judgement free zone for clients and giving them an opportunity to be heard. I wish you much success in your future.

I had a complicated criminal case that changed through the course of the two year case. Mr Rouse handles things in a professional manner comprehensive explanation of the situation once its time to handle his business he does just that I thought I was going to prison but he was able to get my sentance into something manageable. When he walks in the court room you can see the respect the court has for his work. He talks to you like a person not like a paid client doesn't make you feel dumb if your not educated on a situation he will explain in a kind clear and consice way. If you don't know who to turn to and you don't wanna get lost in a larger lawfirm but need a legal warrior he is your guy. And he isn't a coward or scared in court he knows his stuff. Would recommend him for anything pertaining the law. If you have any doubts contact Rouse and associates.

I hired Mr Lee for two different cases and it was the best decision I could’ve ever made! He got my felony charges dropped down to a misdemeanor and my probation warranty dropped completely. He was fought for me for years now with these cases and didn’t take no for answer. He kept in contact with me throughout the entire process and answered my calls day or night. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants an honest lawyer!! You will not be disappointed!!

I found myself wrongfully accused. I was beyond scared. Mr. Jerry Lee came to my location immediately and offered sincere interest and HELP. He was the every measure of comfort I needed. At every turn, turns I didn’t know to expect, he knew exactly what to do, practicing expert law, but also comforting me. I’m speaking frankly when I say these things as I had never found myself in a position needing to defend against something awful and untrue. I believe Mr. Lee to have become a real friend, the kind of honorable man I’ll call a friend for life. In the end he did lead me to freedom, but the space between accusation and freedom from it was filled with his application of expertise in all things law, and finesse in helping this client get through it. If you need a defense lawyer YOU NEED JERRY F. LEE!

Jerry defended me against an unfair situation where I was the absolute underdog. I didn’t know what Would happen next. He helped me go against the establishment and come out the victor.
A short synopsis, someone who was harassing me filed at work filed a false and untrue police report with no proof after I brought a Hostile work complaint against them. They tried to ruin my name, integrity and steal my freedom.
Jerry stood chest to chest with the courts who were certain I was guilty. He pointed out the lies, mistruths and accusations that carried no weight. I watched this man make sure the system listened to me and also made them take me seriously.
Jerry F. Lee is a miracle worker. I hope I don’t need to be in a situation where I need his incredibly services again, but if so Jerry F Lee will be my first and only choice.

I had a very difficult legitimation/custody case, and Scot Sikes and his amazing team were there for me every step of the way. From the initial consult all the way to the final hearing, they were there to guide me and give me strength when I needed it most. I always felt like my case was a priority to them and it was handled with the utmost care and compassion. Scot and his team were quick to act and filed emergency orders when necessary, answered every question and concern I had, and even went as far as to conduct their own research to assist with the case. I’m grateful for all of their hard work and dedication, and I highly recommend their services. You will not find a more genuine and honorable legal representative.

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.
