When I was charged with a DUI I knew that if it stuck that it would prevent my ability to succeed in my career and possibly limit my entry into Canada. When I consulted with Chris he helped educate me on what to expect and then whenever I got mail that didn’t make sense his team and he personally helped me know it was standard stuff and not to worry. Really grateful for having been referred to Chris.

I had a DUI case that I thought my life was going to be over with when it was done. Chris helped me get the best case scenario for my case and explained everything clearly. Unlike other lawyers that use scare tactics to get your business, Chris gives you the truth and he is helpful with every step in your case.

Mr. Bishop originally was my court appointed attorney, and I carried serious charges. Mr. Bishop was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and well respected in the courtroom. He presented my case confidentiality, thus producing an acceptable outcome. Fast forward five years with occasional communication, I hired Mr. Bishop without hesitation to renegotiate the terms of my lengthy probation. I’m grateful for the time, effort, and expertise he demonstrated at my hearing, thus resulting in an early termination of my relationship with the state supervision. I highly recommend Mr. Bishop to anyone that finds themselves in a position that potentially could alter their future negatively if not handled properly. Thank you Mr. Bishop for all you’ve done for me and my family.

I was two years away from the end of a 15 year sentence. I had hired Anthony to help me petition the court for an early release from probation. Anthony agreed to help me with this...... and help he did! As of today, I am a completely free man. I cannot thank Anthony enough for what he has done for me and in a prompt fashion. I will not hesitate to use Anthony and his firm for any and all legal help that I may need in the future. My experience was a total pleasure.

He got them all dropped, and although I wasn't drink they charged me with reckless driving. He also got that reduced to reckless driving, also the other charges dropped. He's a great person and attorney. If he say he can do it, believe him. He true to his word!!!

I cannot say enough about how pleased I am with Pandora Palmer and her amazing team of professionals! My divorce was a long, drawn out, grueling two year process. When I first met with Pandora, she immediately showed compassion for me and my situation. She and her paralegal, Tiffany, got right on my case, being thorough in researching all aspects of it. Pandora presented me with the facts of what I was facing and gave it to me straight--no sugar coating. She was honest...but with compassion. My case was handled with the utmost importance and professionalism. Phone calls, faxes, and emails were promptly returned. Meetings and correspondence was very detailed. My ex-husband had the worst attitude and behavior throughout the entire process and his attorney/team was less than professional. However, Pandora and Tiffany were firm--countered swiftly, and remained poised and professional at all times. They showed genuine care and concern for me and my minor child, and even showed the same level of care and concern for my oldest child, who is a young adult and was not being represented in the divorce for that reason. My divorce has been final for a few months now. My ex-husband and I had to be back in court just recently to address attorney's fees---Pandora got great results on that too! Should you ever be in need of an awesome attorney, who will fight for you and follow through with great results, I highly recommend Pandora Palmer and her team of professionals as your attorney...you won't regret it!

He handled any concern promptly and went over and beyond for me. He treated me like a friend or family member more than a client. He even drove over an hour away from his home to attend a Drs. appointment with me. He worked his tail off and got me everything I deserved and I could never thank him enough.

I came to Rocky with a work injury. I injured my shoulder while working for a commercial developer. What started as a bad dislocation ended up being a torn rotator cuff. I also had a neck injury with my cervical spine. Unfortunately my employer was not the shining star I needed them to be when I was injured. When I got in touch with Rocky my mind was IMMEDIATELY at ease. More importantly, he put my family at ease. My employer's insurance company did not want to pay for my surgery and Rocky fought them all the way until the morning of court - they relented rather than lose to this BULLDOG OF AN ATTORNEY. Rocky fought every step of the way for me and my family. He did not give up. He did not take their crap. Had it not been for Rocky I am sure I would still be in a world of hurt and confusion over this entire mess. Rocky....thank you for what you did. I hope I never have a friend or family member who has a workers compensation claim, but if I do, they will hire you. Rocky got me $190,000 for my case. I am 100% satisfied with everything he did. Thank you!

I thank God for her. She’s been around for 30+ years and out of 30 , she’s solved about 65 of me and my family’s cases .

When I first met Mr. Andrews it was pertaining to a moving violation citation I received. Throughout the consultation he explained what he could do to reduce the citation to a lesser expense. Once I hired him, he gave me very clear instructions on steps I needed to take to show the prosecutor that I took the citation seriously. By completing these actions he would be able to reduce the citation to just having to pay the fine and not getting any points on my license. Even though I took longer than I should have to complete these steps, Mr. Andrews continued the case two different times to allow me extra time to get it done. During this time, I moved to a city 250 miles away. Mr. Andrews worked with the prosecutor to see if anything could be done to help prevent me from having to make the long drive to appear in court. I was very pleased when Mr. Andrews contacted me to inform me that the citation had been reduced to a warning. What really impressed me is that even though he had to do some extra work to continue the case because I couldn't complete everything in the timeframe allowed. He stood by his original quote. He is very thorough, communicates clearly, and does what he says he will. I would recommend Mr. Andrews for any kind of traffic case. He will most definitely get the job done to your advantage.

From the first phone call, Matt was caring, positive and explained every aspect of what our son was going to be involved with in the legal system. It was our first experience and we were out of town for the entire process. Hiring Matt was the best thing we could do to support our son despite the fact we didn’t support his actions. Literally, Matt handled our son’s case as if he was family. The communication we received was constant and thorough. He knew the law in depth but added a special human touch for us. He was successful in getting our son’s charges reduced with a sentence of probation only. We will be forever grateful to Matt.

My day in court with Mr. Leslie exceeded my every expectations. After a long 3 year battle of my on going case and different failed attorneys who couldn't seem to resolve the matter, Mr. Leslie stepped into the court room like a shark in the water. He came in prepared beyond my expectations with whatever angle opposing party may have came with, every stress and emotions I have been going through Mr. Leslie took it on as if it was his own personal matter, as if this was happening to him personally. In my experience it is not often you will find an attorney that will fight this hard for you, and I can't begin to express my gratitude to Mr. Leslie and his paralegal Ms. Summers for this victory, its been a long time coming and because of their brilliance I can finally close this chapter of my life. That being said, I highly recommend Mr. John Leslie to anyone who wants an attorney who will have their best interest and do everything in his power so that you may have a fair hearing. #TeamJohnLeslie Thank you, Shawn F.

I was blessed to work with attorney/judge Barber, his wife Patti and Darla. I gained a remarkable respect for both the professionalism and humanitarianism practiced in this firm. Leaving my job here, for an advanced position I felt led to take at that time, I still cried the whole way home and pray to this day that I was led along the right path. Mr. Barber is an attorney whose caliber surpasses all others. That's said from a legal support staff with 20+ years experience. During my time employed by him, I learned how it was our job to ensure that the law enforcement and DAs jobs were getting done. No stone was to be left unturned in defense of our clients...right or wrong. Every person is entitled to a defense...right or wrong. He gave it his all and we all slept well no matter what the case. If my son was in trouble (his dad is a lawyer), Mr. Barber would be my first call. God Bless you Mr. And Mrs Barber, and thank you for all you do Darla Smith!

I was recently divorced using another attorney in the area. I was in a 16 year marriage attached to the military. I was allotted a percentage of the retirement per the Final Agreement. When I attempted to start that process with DFAS, I was quickly notified that my Order was written incorrectly and needed to be modified and signed by a Judge. I wasn’t sure what to do so I reached out to Mr. Dejesus’ office. He was quick to respond and was able to help me. He was very knowledgeable in regards to how the modification was to be written and made the changes. He and his staff stayed in communications with me while waiting for the other parties to comply. I was on a time restraint to get the corrections per DFAS and even though that time had expired, to no fault of ours, Mr. Dejesus was reassuring that everything was an easy fix and they would honor the modification. He was right. Through his persistent follow ups with the other parties, I got my modification and was able to submit it with no problems. I would definitely recommend Mr. Dejesus. He is attentive to his clients and knows his job. You just have to trust him.

Marcus Morris represented my nephew on a Criminal Case that was out of Catoosa County GA. It was very nice to see how he was able to relate and bring together all the entities involved in such a cohesive way. My nephews case, per all of Mr. Morris's hard work, was ultimately Nolle Proc'd (Dismissed) much to my, and the family's, happiness. I wanted to thank him every time that i ran into him, and the others involved in the case as well. It would be hard to find a better Attorney out there, and i do not need to look any farther than Mr. Morris.

Marcus Morris is a very considerate lawyer. I think he cares about his clients. He was able to get my daughter's DUI dismissed. Although she had some extenuating circumstances, we couldn't have done it with out his help. Plus his price seems to be good.

Ms. Francis not only explained the process for immigration but also helped us to understand the procedure which detail is to move forward. I tried to do this process myself, but later after disappointments on my own, Ms. Francis showed us the way to deal properly with immigrations as a result my wife has been approved for green card! Thank you, Ms. Francis and continued success!

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.
