Hello everyone! I was a client of Sheida’s for the past month, since August 15th. Her, and her team were a great help for myself, and my family during a difficult time. Never have been in legal trouble before, as well as my family never has. We essentially did not know what to do. My family and I were lost. Thank god, Sheida’s mail came into my mailbox. Once I started working with Sheida, her assistant, Kat, explained me the entire process of my legal situation and how it would be best handled. Everything was clear and their communication was on point! After working for a month, Sheida and her team took the necessary steps in helping my situation. Now I’m record free thanks to them! Sheida and her team’s expertise is what I’d recommend in times of legal trouble!

We recently used Sarkis Babachanian when a family member of mine was being accused for a "hit and run" and charges were about to be filed when in fact my family member was the victim of the "hit and run" as it was the other party that hit our car and did not stay at the accident scene. Sarkis gathered the necessary evidence, started working very diligently with the detective who was investigating the case, had numerous telephone conversations with him, also had a face to face meeting and was able to get the file closed without any charges being filed.
He was always accessible either via phone, text or an email.
We were happy to hire Sarkis and would recommend him ti anyone.
Thank you Sark!

So far the process of my lawsuit has been nothing but smooth with Henrik. He's made it evident that he truly cares about my well being throughout the process of experiencing the hardships of being in a car accident. I have the utmost confidence that I am in great hands, I would recommend Henrik to anyone granted that he will keep you up to speed throughout the process of your lawsuit. This is something that I did not experience several years ago with another lawyer, who never reached out to me throughout the lawsuit process; that aspect sticks out and gives me peace of mind knowing that there will not be any issues.

I was involved in a car accident in 2012 and I had to deal with my car issues but just didn’t have the time with work. I started to have pain after a day or so and I was determined to find an attorney. I called Mr. Henrik Karapetian and he immediately followed up with my accident case. After hiring him he kept me informed every step of the way as my car was repaired, a rental was given and my injury case progressed. I never needed to call him for an update because he would let me know of any new developments as they came so I was really happy about that.
Most important, my car was fixed immediately and my injury claim settled for an amount that I was very happy with.
I am glad I called Henrik for my accident case and I recommend him for any car accident cases because he sees the case as his own and treats the client with the highest level of integrity.
Thank you Henrik.

I had hired an attorney for a custody and support case but I was happy with the service and attention my case was getting. I wanted results. I hired Henrik after firing my previous attorney. I was recommended to Henrik by a friend as I wanted someone with family law experience. I can honestly say since hiring him early this year that he is so knowledgeable and strategic when it comes to your case. I now have a much better visitation schedule and lower support payments. There is still more to do with my case but I am fortunate to have found Henrik!

I recently consulted John on an employment case. He was very attentive in the initial consultation and asked a lot of relevant questions. 2 days later he had looked over and marked up my agreement and made some recommendations for a counter offer
As a result of his advice my settlement was increased by 40% and I got all the points I needed delivered.
John was professional, diligent and articulate throughout and I would thoroughly recommend his services.

I am very fortunate to have him in my corner and would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone.

Not only did she represent us and get us through the worse situation ever she put her heart and soul into the case. I have never seen someone care so much about her clients.

Today my husband and I had a telephone consultation with Nam Le. He listened patiently and was understanding, as we told the horror story about our mortgage lender. Nam knew exactly what legal issues were present, what claims and options were available to us, and what laws applied. Even though our options did not require his firm's help, he was courteous and followed up. That's a professional, caring attorney. I'd recommend him highly.

All my my life i've been pretty healthy. I jog, work out & eat somewhat healthy. Last year at this time my doctor told me that my blood pressure was moving high in the danger zone. I knew this was due to the stress of our overwelming financial debt. We were living off credit cards because both mine & my wifes jobs were cutting back on hours & days. I decided to call BK attorney Nam Le at the "Jaurigue law group". Right off the bat, Nam was extremely professional, knowledgable & curteous. Nam listened to our problems & had the answers. He never left us in the dark. He followed up with me once, sometimes twice aweek. I felt like Nam was taking on our financial crisis as if it was his own . Anyway, 3 months later all our unsecured debt was eliminated, the garnishments were stopped & Nam got the monies that were garnished paid back to us. It was incredible. A month after this, i had a doctors appointment & my blood pressure was normal. Honest to god true story. Nam saved my marriage & possibly my life. So if you're out there undecided on which attorney to go with,,,, go with Nam Le. He is the best, #1 attorney in my book & recommend him highly. Thank you Nam

He always kept me updated on my file, and he was knows what he is talking about, and thorough in explaining my options to me. Now I recommend him to all my family and friends.

Raffi Naljian is a great lawyer. My case was hopeless and Raffi stepped up and got great deal which helped me keep my job and dismissed my criminal charge.
I could not be happier and don't know what I can do to show my thanks to him. He took the time to understand the details and presented them really well to the DA. He showed concern and kindness during this awful time, and was very responsive. His fees are very reasonable and the best investment I have made in my life. I now have a second chance in my life because of Raffi.

I was referred to Vahag by another reputable attorney in the industry who specifically referred someone I asked to be very detailed oriented, approachable, and communicative.
Vahag met my expectations and beyond. The only suggestion I gave him is to have Saturday office hours for people who cannot make it during the week. I am glad he took my suggestion thus improving client servicing.
Thanks you Vahag

I reached out to Kaas Law Firm following a multi-car accident that I was involved in.
It was a complicated case, and I was afraid that the insurance company might turn it against me.
I am glad that I followed my friend's suggestion and reached out attorneys at the Kaass Law.
Vahag Matevosian was very helpful in explaining all of my rights and options. He gave me very realistic forecast as to what was going to happen next.
I couldn't have been more pleased with my overall experience. I felt that I was dealing with experienced professional who did everything he could to fight for me, and of course, win the case for me.
Vahag was available any time I needed, and on top of that, his secretary was giving me constant updates regarding my case.
I highly recommend people to use his services.

Mr. Jingozian is a respectful professional amazing attorney. Having an arrest on your record could have a negative impact on you for the rest of your life. Not to mention embarrassment humiliation and most likely loss of any future advancement in career. Mr. Jingozian wrote a great petition under the newly Penal code 851.91, accepted to work and study this new code to help me, and after a professional convincing conversation with the judge. i have been GRANTED the approval.That is why you should speak to an experienced criminal defense attorney like him for cleaning your criminal arrest record.

The name Michael Kraut is one I'll never forget. 2 weeks ago, I was sitting in a cell, SURE, that life as I know it was over. I was facing a felony charge, which would have led to my deportation. I reached out to one criminal lawyer after another...and they all advised me to start seeking an immigration lawyer, in addition to a criminal lawyer, ASAP. I was forwarded Michael's info, & reached out to him way outside business hours (I know--for shame) and, to my surprise, he responded IMMEDIATELY! He was also the first lawyer to ask me to come meet with him, in person, which I appreciated. He was also the first to even mention that getting my charges dropped was a possibility! Meeting with him put me at ease...which is not an easy task! Khaleesi is the mother of dragons, I'm the mother of stressing....that's my thing. To have calmed me down enough that I was eating again really says a lot about Mr.Kraut. Not only is he an extremely talented lawyer, but an outstanding human being. Talking to him didn't feel like talking to a lawyer -- it felt like talking to a friend. A VERY knowledgeable friend, who's just as invested as you in obtaining the BEST possible outcome. For me...that was getting my CHARGES DROPPED...which he did...in just 2 weeks!!!!!! If you need a lawyer, CALL HIM. Fantastic lawyer with an absolutely amazing team.

Armine was great throughout the long process of my accident claim. it was a difficult situation to deal with since the person who hit me lives out of state and was in a rental car when the accident happened. It took us a lot of time to actually find him and serve the lawsuit, but she was on top of it and kept trying until we were successful. After we were able to serve him and got the settlement, she helped me with negotiating all the bills that we had, and I got to keep a good amount of the settlement.
I am very happy with the results.
Thank you Armine

Before hiring Jack, I had contacted multiple lawyers and explained my situation with my first home. Most of them were under qualified and didn't quite understand all the nuances of the contract. Jack, on the other hand, was able to grasp the situation quickly and provided me with my options on our first call. Our case took almost a year to wrap, but through it all, Jack has always been responsive, prompt, and had my best interest at heart. If you want a lawyer who doesn't waste your time and always fight for your position, look no further.

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.
