Sadie was recommended to me by a family member, to represent me in my car accident case. When others did not want to take my case Sadie listened and worked effortlessly to get me what I deserved. In the beginning she let me know that the case may take time to settle but to trust the process. As I waited and completed therapy, Sadie and her team communicated effectively and I was always kept in the loop. I believe Sadie and her team was fair and had my best interests in heart. Sadie was able to settle my case without me having to speak with attorneys and I walked away with a great financial settlement. Thank you Sadie. I hope I don’t need your amazing services again but if I do.. you’re my first call.

Attorney Lansden is that rare nexus of honesty, empathy and transparency for her clients and "pitbull tenacity" on their behalf. I have worked with other legal representatives and been disappointed by their lack of motivation and aggression so I had lowered my expectations. Attorney Lansden has restored my faith in the adversarial legal system and the concept of a legal champion on behalf of the wronged.

I was referred to Mack by a friend of mine and he was the best thing that could have ever happen to me in my time of need, he went above and beyond to help to me out. I was willing to settle for a lesser charge and he told me no I can do better than that. In the end he ended up having all my charges dismissed and I couldn't be happier, I have referred him to friends of mine already.

I first met Mack when my husband had a court matter. To begin with, we did not know where to start looking for an attorney since we have never had any dealings with the courts. Fortunately, a friend referred Mack to us, along with several other attorneys, but after consultations and lack of feedback from the others, we quickly realized, without any regrets, that Mack was the one we wanted to take our case. The thing we liked about Mack was that we had access to him 24/7 via his cellphone, and got quick feedback to our questions. He also kept us up-to-date on every step of the case, without us having to ask. He was very meticulous and instrumental in helping my husband to get an earlier date for his court hearing, and got his charges reduced. He even wrote a letter for my son's college (free of charge) so that he was able to get a refund for his school fees, as he was unable to attend school during that challenging time in our lives. About a year after my husband's case was over, we needed some documents from Mack, and he was on point in getting those documents to us the same day we requested them! Mack is a Rising Star! He is a very humble Counsel, easy to talk to, with a high level of trust and professionalism. Would certainly recommend him, without hesitation, to anyone looking for an excellent Attorney.

Ms. Wester helped me successfully get granted early termination from my probation in fort bend county. She made the process extremely simple and easy to follow. I had no issues whatsoever and everything was explained to me in detail to follow with no confusion. The process was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I would definitely recommend Ms. Wester to anyone looking to get early termination from their probation and anyone looking for representation for a criminal case. Ms. Wester flat out gets the job done, she’s professional, reliable and extremely punctual about all details.

In 2019 an incident happened where I was charged with a second-degree SA, I was told I could get a court-appointed lawyer and I did. I met Kevin Howard ( Ironically we have the same name). He talked over the case with me after 2 years of pre-trial and rescheduling because of covid. 2022 hit and the trial began, after many talks with the state he was able to get it lowered. he never failed to try as much as he could. I insisted on going to trial because I knew I wasn't guilty, he was all for it and very supportive. Any questions that I had he was always there to answer and guide me. If it wasn't for Kevin Howard I wouldn't have had a chance to prove my innocence. June 2022 hit and we were ready to go to trial. I walk into the courtroom ready for trial and Kevin Howard managed and continuously fought to have my case dismissed. he managed to dismiss the case and never once failed to do everything in his power. I will forever be thankful for how much he has done for me. I definitely would recommend him in any circumstances.

Steve is a fantastic and trustworthy attorney. Throughout our personal injury case, he was extremely communicative, took his time in explaining things to us and explaining what to expect, and was always only a phone call or email away. He is also a very pleasant person and often felt more like a friend than our attorney, which was nice when dealing with an otherwise unpleasant situation. We were happy with the outcome of our case and couldn’t have asked for more from Steve during the process. I highly recommend him and have heard nothing but good things about his criminal defense practice, as well.

A fellow attorney and business colleague recommended Mr. Shellist to me. At the time I was facing a serious allegation with potential career-ending ramifications. Upon contacting Mr. Shellist, he immediately met with me, discussed my concerns, reassured me and promptly mapped out a legal strategy. Steve was genuine, intellectual and analytical. He exudes confidence with his experience, knowledge and abilities. Throughout my ordeal, Steve remained steadfast, responsive and supportive. In doing so, he delivered the best legal defense counsel I could imagine. Steve was prepared to take the case to trial, however, I also realized he had open and effective communications with the DA’s office. Ultimately, Steve obtained a full dismissal of my charges. I could not have produced such an efficient and completely effective outcome myself, even though I consider myself an accomplished legal professional. Mr. Shellist’s Team simplified the process, supported me and consistently settled my anxiety. They were with me every step of the way, committing all details to memory, intimately knowing the issues, adapting their strategies and accurately predicting the outcome. I could not have remained emotionally stable to the end or unscathed of a criminal record without Mr. Shellist and his Team. I have since referred fellow professionals to Mr. Shellist. I always receive positive compliments for these referrals, as these individuals are most grateful for the effective counsel Steve delivers. I cannot score more than a 10, but Mr. Shellist’s Firm goes to 11!

In my informed opinion, Steve is the best criminal and personal injury attorney in Houston. I have trusted him with many important matters and he always delivers the best results possible. His fee structure is quite fair given the his experience, expertise and his dedication to efficiency. For as long as he is practicing, he will always be my go-to for these types of matters. Also Steve is just an all around great guy--very friendly and very personable--which is atypical for this area of the law. Can't say enough great things about Steve.

My son was arrested and charged with Aggravated Robbery and Felon with a Weapon cases based on a lie. The police arrested him with ZERO evidence other than lies told by an acquaintance. Sad to say the DA accepted charges based on nothing but the say so of a known liar and criminal. Seems like the cops round up whoever and like magic - “Another case closed!” NOT. Then the judge held him at NO BOND because of his past convictions. Wood convinced the DA’s to dismiss it but in case they wouldn’t, Wood kept asking theme to go to the grand jury with it so he could set it for trial. Took a month or so but finally both cases were dismissed. I told my son to pick his acquaintances better but sometimes even your own kids need to learn some lessons on their own.

Let me start off by just saying WOW! This man is a beast at what he does. At first the case seemed very unbeatable to me but from the jump once Sina got involved he assured me that everything is going to be okay. Most attorneys just say that but from the jump he was confident the whole process was very smooth just like he said he went in there and delivered and backed up all the assurance he gave me to begin with. I can honestly say I’ve only seen what Sina did in movies I’ve never thought I would see such a powerful attorney first hand. Almost like seeing how powerful Annalise Keating in “how to get away with murder“ was minus the murder that’s how powerful he is with his words when it comes to the court room. If you are reading this wondering if you should hire him to take on your case DO IT! It is worth every dime, he will keep you updated on every step of the way. I am very satisfied with the way everything worked out I will never truly with words be able to express how thankful I am this man is no joke! I am indeed a satisfied client.

Not only was she extremely professional and well-mannered the entire duration of the case, but she fought long and hard to get my case dismissed. She made sure to gather all details and find every possible solution in order for me to receive the best and most fair outcome. She did not judge or belittle me in any way and always made sure I was well informed about the details of my case. She is well versed in criminal law and strives to represent all clients regardless of how she was appointed in the most fair and efficient way possible.

I was charged with DWI (1st offense), and for a serious offense one needs strong legal representation. I was fortunate to have Alison Smith represent me. She is highly knowledgeable, with a dose of tenacity and tact. A professional attorney with a strong presence who had a good grasp of my situation while, maintaining her patience as court proceedings are daunting and time consuming. Excellent in communication as she relayed in timely manner activities to fulfill my court obligations/prerequisites/procedures before attending the court. Importantly, I was able to secure my Drivers License from the very get go which could have immobilized me that could have vastly affected my family. My charges were reduced.

David Nachtigall is an outstanding criminal defense attorney. He has worked on my case, a federal white collar crime, for over 18 months, and I have found him to be very ethical, steadfast, and unwavering in his quest for justice for his client. He is sensitive to the emotional impact of being charged with a crime, and is very relatable and personable, which paved the way for the best possible outcomes for me. He did not just tell me what I wanted to hear – he answers questions honestly and is a thorough researcher. I realized how well he understood my situation and had listened to me when I read his final court materials after 18 months of his representation. He is incredibly well-spoken and articulate, which he backs up by an excellent style of writing, presenting facts in a succinct and clear fashion. I am thankful that David was able to help me face and deal with my legal challenges.

Mr. Jones than cleared our debt of about at least 3,000 dollars still owed to him as an early Christmas gift . What person do you know would just clear almost 3000 dollars . Thank you Mr. Jones for everything you did for my family .

My man got himself in quite a jam which resulted in him being charged with a 1st degree felony. It was a very scary situation,but over the course of a few months she worked with the prosecutors and got his charge reduced to a state jail felony,time served. Which was the best offer he could've got,he should be released in 2-12 days and me&my man's family could not be more happier/thankful.She definitely knows what she is doing&does not stop until the job is done.

Toni was there for me from the start. I was dealing with a fairly complicated and emotional child support case and I had absolutely no idea what to do. I happened upon her online and I emailed her immediately. She responded very quickly, and right away I could tell she was amazing and knew what she was doing! She had a genuine interest in getting to know my case and what exactly was going on and gave me advice and tips and helped me all along the way. I ended up getting exactly what I wanted to happen with the situation. I am very grateful and appreciative of all the time and effort she put forth to help me and guide me through one of the most stressful times in my life. Definitely will be going to her again if ever need be. Thank you Toni! I couldn't have gotten through without you.

Toni was right there when I needed her on my first call. She spent a ton of time with me over a period of weeks, both on the phone and via emails. I had property to sell in Cleveland, Texas but I live on the other side of the USA, and my partner had died. I had to clear the title, and it was a mess as there was no probated will. She taught me all about the laws and really got me through the mess I was in. She kept me sane when I thought I'd go nuts. We were able to clear the title and sell the property, closing with no problems. If you need a realtor or a real estate lawyer in that part of Texas that she serves, you can't do better. She is full of energy, experience and knowledge. I'm so lucky to have found her.

Let’s start with the short version: •I was stopped by police in the early morning hours on a Saturday and arrested in Harris County for a first-offense DWI. •I hired Mr. Ruiz on Wednesday morning ahead of a Friday court hearing. •On Friday morning, Mr. Ruiz walked into the courtroom and used his extensive knowledge of DWI law, resulting in my case being DISMISSED!! Bottom line: In 3 days, he had my case dismissed! More detail: Mr Ruiz is experienced—18 years of specializing in criminal defense and DWI law; his fees are very reasonable for his caliber—you won’t find a tried-and-true superstar lawyer at his rates in Harris or surrounding counties; he is a true professional who understands his clients’ stress and aims to communicate with you as needed. If you’ve never needed a lawyer of any kind before, you should know that there are lawyers who are in it for financial gain, but have little to no heart invested in what they do; that’s not Joseph Ruiz. He loves what he does, and he cares about his client’s lives and future. Hire him. You won’t regret it!

I found myself in an unfortunate situation facing a felony and a misdemeanor charge both of which were my first criminal offenses. Initially I didn’t know where to turn; so I googled Criminal Attorney Houston, Texas. I called dozens of attorney’s on the list but none of them made me feel confident they could get both charges dismissed, additionally almost all wanted to charge me upwards of $25,000 or more for both cases. Thankfully I came across Mr. Joseph Ruiz! I read all his 5 star reviews of previous clients testimony and like me they faced serious charges that Mr. Ruiz was able to get dismissed! Today I write this review to add my own testimony to the list. As of today my felony and misdemeanor charges have both been DISMISSED!!!!!!! I am glad I trusted Mr. Ruiz through this process. He treated me like a human being during my unimaginable ordeal, he has restored my reputation, and has given me my life back. I am forever grateful to Mr. Ruiz. He makes it look so easy upfront, but behind closed doors he is advocating on your behalf fighting your battles in court and coming out victorious! There’s no better lawyer than Mr. Ruiz! His fees are affordable (he gave me a discount and allowed a payment plan). His service is impeccable. I can not recommend Mr. Ruiz more! Mr. Ruiz thank you for your unrelenting work ethic and for helping me get the best outcome for my cases.

I had to find an attorney for a mutual client in another state on a Saturday. I left several messages for different attorneys and was pleasantly surprised when Joe immediately called me back. He showed great professional courtesy to me as a fellow attorney as well as his new client. His performance on the case was stellar. Of course, all cases are different, but in this instance he obtained a dismissal for the client and she didn't have to appear in court after initial appearance!

Andreea handled (and is still my attorney) my 3rd DWI (felony). I was terrified, and had lots of questions. She was always helpful, answering emails in a very timely manner. It was such a relief to have someone so knowledgeable and caring in my corner. Since my DWI was/is a felony, I knew that I was facing dire circumstances. She worked with the prosecution to get good results for my case. Even after the sentencing, she continues to answer my questions immediately (hey - she replies faster than my own mom!) and encourage me to keep moving forward and staying on track. I would highly recommend Andreea to anyone in need of an attorney for a DWI. She'll keep you informed through the entire process, and let you know what to expect. Contact her and you will be pleasantly surprised at her professionalism and warm nature.

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.
