I was going through a divorce during which my ex tried hard to harm me and my military career by repeatedly calling the police and giving false statements. (she told the police that I threatened her with my suicide) 1st time when she lied to police I was to be transported to hospital for psychic evaluation.
2nd time when she call and liked to police again I was arrested.
The court, based on one-sided statements, imposed a ban on using weapons on me.
Thanks to Mr. Skiendziul's professionalism, experience and knowledge after less than 15 months I regained my rights.
By far the Best Attorneys to have by your side, always communicating with the client, knows the law, gives clear and accurate information.
Thank you Sir !

A few years ago I was young & dumb got 2 dui’s after that I got my stuff together to do better & be better but you know in NJ you need a car , so I kept driving after all my punishments bc I didn’t have anyone really represent me for those 2 dui s from 9 yrs ago .. that was a big mistake on Valentine’s Day I parked my car in maywoof by the way I have diabetes, so I parked to get a candy bc my sugar was low & I wasn’t feeling good .. the next thing I see is one offer car in front & one on back .. they automatically stereotyped me as a person who was drunk or high bc of my past .. they towed my car & brought Into station as I cried & said to myself this cannot be happening again I’ve been doing everything right , in my urine they found medicated that were proscribed to me , the charged me with dui & a lot of other things .. the officer didn’t even fill out anything while I was there .. he mailed & I went to court , I tried a Public defendant who told me I have no chance just go to jail il for 6 mos & 10 yrs suspended license./. He told just sign you have no chance .. & I said no I will get a lawyer that’s when I met Mrr. Scott Gorman , , he had such a relaxed way about him & pleasant .. he told me since they mailed me my summons I didn’t have to show bc who is to know if I received those summons sent by mail but by them I had already screwed that had went into court .. but scott still said don’t worry I think we still have a good chance , he gave me faith , hope , strength when I had none.. we went to court for 2 yrs straight through zoom in person mostly , he was always there a call , a text away through the 2 yrs he was always honest he told me what was right & wrong .. what was going good , what was not .. Mr. Scott Gorman literally went into the Lions den & he wasn’t going looe . He brought my case to the Supreme Court , shortly after I had to give Mr.Gorman some documents emailed , so mr. Gorman called & said forget the document we’re getting your dui dropped, I didn’t know what to say I broke down in tears & said thank you , I could of never got this done it was a miracle .. he is amazing .. if you have any charges or dui Mr . Scott Gorman is your man . He’s not about money , He’s about really fighting for his client ..

I’ve never seen anyone fight so hard ,,, this my lawyer for life I recommend him to everyone who needs a lawyer .. he’s the best !!!! I owe my life to him , my life would’ve changed in a bad direction I f he didn’t save me , Thank you Mr.Scott Gorman… a true guardian angel !!!

I left a very long review on another popular site already so I'll make this quick. The time he spent engaging with me and speaking to me honestly, guiding me on the best proper steps that should be taken and overall helpfulness speaks volumes to his character. I'm not one to go out of my way and act like a Karen unless something is so horrible they deserve a negative review or they are so helpful they deserve praise. I am on avvo, a site I never heard of until recently, going out of my way to leave a review because he went way out of his way and that is something no other Attorney has ever done. He truly deserves more than 5 stars as a Thank You for restoring my faith in the legal community (well, maybe that is a bit much because I question lots of legal professionals ethics after the one I dealt with before. I welcome you to go read that review ha.)
I would totally recommend Scott to anyone who needs legal assistance and wants a knowledgeable and helpful Attorney who has your best interest in mind. Not the fake "I like to help my clients and care" bs line that all the Attorneys proclaim. He truly does want to be helpful

James was a consummate professional in all of my dealings with him. From our first conversation to the successful completion of my case, he was warm, understanding, knowledgeable, thorough, disciplined, and non-judgmental. As someone who has dealt with many attorneys, I highly recommend James for your matter.

When I found James, one of the first things he mentioned to me on the phone was that it was his job to worry about my case now, and I should do my best to put it out of my mind. That comment alone turned my entire state of mind around lifting the stress and anxiety that had been weighing on me. James was excellent at communicating, explaining, and in getting me the best results possible. I would absolutely recommend his services if you are in need.

I hired James a year ago to represent me in a matter against an individual who was using the criminal justice system to stalk and harass me. My case was a difficult, complicated and emotional case, dealing with an individual who was not emotionally stable. From the beginning, James was the right lawyer for the job. He didn't over-promise, but he handled my case with sensitivity, while, at the same time, was amazingly strategic in how to plan my case. James prepared diligently for my case and got me the exact result that I needed, But, what was most important to me, was not only that he got me the result that I needed, but how he treated me throughout the year. James ALWAYS took or returned my phone calls immediately. James always answered my emails. James ALWAYS made me feel like my case mattered to him, and like I mattered to him as a client and a person. I always knew he had my back and that he truly was putting 1000% into fighting my case. I would unequivocally recommend James to ANYONE who needs an excellent criminal defense attorney who will go the extra mile, who will fight like hell for you, and will never make you feel like you're in it by yourself. He is truly the best criminal defense attorney in New Jersey.

Jason Foy is highly recommended by me to resolve any criminal case. (Especially if the truth of your case leans more on your rightfully being more innocent than guilty or it's just plain lies as you being criminally guilty). Foy has an extremely competent team of supportive people he works with in his office. Usually someone actually answers the phone when you call his office. When you leave a message it is always responded to in a timely fashion. He is not afraid to tell you no. If no is the true answer. He is clear about what he can do, what he can't do, and what could possibly occur without any promises regarding things outside of his control. I am a woman and he treated me with respect of human dignity at all times and he does not treat you bad- like you are an inmate or a criminal. My criminal case was a mess because a prior over paid criminal attorney who was a former DA assistant, had been trying to get me to admit guilt to a lessor crime charge I sincerely did not even remotely do. I was completely innocent- and the prosecutor even admitted that i was innocent but they did not care as long as " I was criminally charged with something" as "punishment so that I was "guilty". Jason Foy and his team actually competently did their jobs, looked up the laws regarding my case and applied it to my defense in my case. It was the truth. It was a long shot where maybe we would win or maybe we wouldn't. But we won BIG. I was very lucky that I had been given the resources to hire him and clean up the mess from the other paid but not respectful criminal attorney. Do not hire any former DA's or similar for your criminal case. Their brains are wired to charge you and make friends with the people prosecuting you. Jason Foy is not anyones "friend". He is not going to be figuring out your case with a beer at the bar with the prosecutor. He is a professional. A very highly intelligent- of the most intelligent criminal lawyers in NYC area, and extremely professional with how he conducts his business. He is the kind of man who does it right, does it all the way, or he does it not at all. You can trust what he says. And you can trust his judgement. If you are a woman, you can know that this a safe zone for you. Your husband does not need to be on the phone with you to get the same level of attention.

Jason and his firm are very professional & committed. I had a frivolous complaint by a seemingly credible person. Jason and Eric were able to box in the player who was really a fraud in fancy clothes. I appreciate the integrity. The case has a history of people being persuaded. Jason rose above. Much gratitude.

Chris did a great job with my case. I had no prior record and he was able to help me through the PTI Process. The most impressive thing he was able to do was to reduce the amount of probation time that was originally offer, in addition to community service. He was able to review the facts of the case with the Prosecutor and due to the fact of my very low involvement, the Prosecutor agreed that what he had originally put on the table was a bit much. When it was time for my Expungement, Chris contacted me right away to get the process started, and now my record is fully clean because of it. Thank you for everything!

They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. When I retained Kevin Roe Sr. for my DUI defense I didn't know that his son Kevin Jr. would be part of my team for the case. As with his father, Kevin gave his tenacity, attention to detail, knowledge of the law and utter commitment to success to every facet of the case. The Roe law team will leave no stone unturned in their efforts to bring a successful end to any case they take on, they are a formidable and well respected team. After a year of work on my DUI case they had the entire case dismissed. I recommend Kevin and the entire Roe law firm highly,

I'm Oswaldo from Porto Viejo, Ecuador. I own a transportation business. I have been a client of Mr. Gomez for almost 10 years. My father is the one who recommended him to me. My father has used Gomez since the 90's. Altogether, between my father and me we have given Mr. Gomez over 8 cases to resolve. In all of these cases he has always won with excellent results and friendly help. As far as consultations, whenever I need guidance (even if I don't have a case), I have relied on Mr. Gomez' advice. Even my girlfriend, Soledad, has consulted with him upon my recommendation. She was also impressed with this guy.
We want to thank you Mr. Gomez for being there for us throughout the years and are very grateful for your help. We are writing this review as a gesture of thanks and hope you may read it one day.

Doug handled a potential case for me years ago. He was a God send. I had no money for an attorney and Doug helped me any way. Everything worked out in my favor.

I would recommend him to anyone wanting an honest attorney.

I met Doug at an event at a friends home. He introduced himself to me and we began a conversation immediately. I asked him what he did for a living and when he said lawyer, I took advantage of the situation and asked him about the business trouble I was in with my business. I ran a multi million dollar company and it was in trouble. I had seen lawyers before Doug and in fact was using one at that time. Doug offered unique ideas and thoughts on how to get out of the trouble and, excuse me "destroy" those who were trying to destroy me. I was sold, I jumped ship and retained him. It took about 9 months, a lot of meetings and court motions, but I WON. I am now riding high again. Saved my marriage and all is good. OK, the bad news (not so bad)... Doug is not cheap, but worth every sent. And, he is difficult to reach, well, until he gave me his phone number. Then you can catch him best after hours, you see, THE MAN DOES NOT SLEEP... EVER. So you can call him at 4:00am and he is like "Hey Bobby, whats up?" Its great. I could not recommend him highly enough. If you are in trouble and you want out, quickly and strongly, VERY STRONGLY, making the people who "F'ed" with you RUN and HIDE, with their attorney, then Doug is your guy. Others just cannot keep up with this Vampire... Vampire in a good way.

If you are from New Jersey you know he is considered the best defense attorney in the state. If you are researching and just learning about Mr. Flood, chances are you have seen him on television or in the newspapers unknowingly. My case involved a securities transactions. Mr. Flood and his team worked countless hours and the end result was “not guilty”. I think the federal prosecutors nearly fainted. It was a long and difficult trial. Me. Flood saved my company and my life. He is not only an excellent lawyer, but a great man. Finally, when he walks into a room people take notice. He is impeccably dressed with Cary Grant looks. A triple threat my wife would say. Thank you Mr. Flood.

Sue Smith, listened, acted, and we got a response, shortly after they received her letter. Unfortunately, i needed a lawyer in my state to represent me. But, Suzanne's quick action, triggering a response and offer, from the opposing party, has set me in a very good position with my new lawyer, and we are going to trial. I'm only sorry i couldn't stay with Suzanne, to finish out my case. I highly recommend Suzanne, and would gladly use her again, if needed, with anything that does not require me to use a lawyer from my state only.

Joel Zelkowitz is very dedicated to helping out. On 3 separate occasions he reviewed different concerns I had and got back to me with honest feedback without charging me a dime.
He did thorough research to see if his efforts can be worthwhile to me and then sincerely declined taking on my case because he couldn't figure out a way to help me.
I truly hope that other attorneys are like him that make the first priority to assist the client honestly and with 100% empathy and sincerity.

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.
