When someone is dealing with a criminal court case, as I was, it can be a stressful and unpredictable event. Attorney Tsioros’ welcoming and approachable attitude alleviated my fears. I knew that I was being represented on the facts and my version as he looked past the accusations. He looked beyond the charges and worked diligently with the prosecutor negotiating to get my case the best deal that was available regarding the circumstances. I highly recommend Attorney Greg Tsioros to represent anyone who is facing criminal charges. He works for you as he navigates through the court process. Thank you Greg.

Being arrested for DWI is an embarrassing and traumatic experience for anyone. As an attorney who often appears in the criminal courts myself, it is downright humiliating. DWI probation for me, with all of the indignities it entails, was not an option. Neither was jail. That's why as an attorney who knows the best of them, I did not hesitate to hire Greg Tsioros for my own DWI. He is an experienced litigator with an exceptionally keen mind, cool demeanor and a highly aggressive fighting spirit. Thanks to Greg's tenacity in making my DWI nightmare go away, I have both my life and my dignity back. Thank's again Greg!

Lisa believed in me. Charged with agg. assault w/deadly weapon by a district atty. with a chip on her shoulder. Lisa took my case because she could see the facts from the beginning. I lawfully used my right to defend myself using my LTC and a legal firearm to stop an unstable individual from assaulting me for the third time. The(thankfully) voted-out DA wanted to take my freedoms only because my attacker called 911-FIRST. Lisa's staff is fantastic keeping the family informed and really treating you as if you matter.

I was charged in Judge Werlein's Federal Court with 23 Counts of Conspiracy, Health Care Fraud, and Wire Fraud, and I was found NOT GUILTY by the jury on all 23 counts after 4 weeks of trial. Lisa was excellent at my trial. She is very professional, tenacious, and most importantly, believed in my innocence! I am forever grateful and indebted to her.

Great listener, determined to get to the point. She understands your situation and takes her time to find the truth when the evidence only exist in theory. A top attorney who walks a straight line for her clients, and never cuts corners. I went a year fighting a case that I shouldn't have been. But, she stood right along with me and all those court dates strong and stubborn not about to be moved. I thank God for allowing Mrs. Lisa Andrews to be the Angel in the form of an hardworking, strong, and determined attorney assigned to the blessings he has sent to my life. So I recommend Mrs. Lisa Andrews 100%.

I was arrested, unfortunately, for the 3rd time in almost 18 years for theft. Each arrest being almost 6 years apart to the day. After meeting James he treated me with humility and grace despite my wrong doings. He truly tapped into why did I do what I did, what led me down this road, and was able to finally uncover something I was so badly needing to heal. I was in and out of the foster care system growing up with documented abuse for years- I was able to share this information with James and he connected me with the perfect therapist. I had hired two lawyers previously who never even cared to ask about my past- and had they I may have had a chance to heal sooner. Given my history and psychological explanation, and with the help of James and his knowledge, we were able to get my case DISMISSED. (Which is beyond rare given prior arrests) God led me to James and I will forever be in debt for his help not only with my case but to better my entire life. He has been an incredible light in the legal system. He is an outstanding lawyer, but an even better human being who is doing what he can to truly HELP people.

Tommy secured rapid justice for me! He proved to be both highly responsive and very effective. I was facing a lawsuit where I had been misidentified as the defendant. I first reached out to him on a Saturday and he contacted me directly within minutes. His calm, steady professionalism and friendly manner put me at ease in a very stressful and unfamiliar situation. Even though Tommy usually works with plaintiffs in personal injury cases, he didn't spare a minute in getting to work on my case and communicated with me regularly through to the end -- I always knew what was going on and understood our plan. He knew exactly what to do to get my case dismissed, and resolved the matter for me in only a few days! Tommy is man of great integrity and compassion, and you will not find a better lawyer.

Going through a divorce, you will feel empty as you watch your life fall apart. It's isolating and embarrassing all at the same time. The people that once encircled your life start to disappear for a while; distanced if they do speak to you. There's hardly not anything more alienating than that position. Larry is a fantastic lawyer. I'm sure there are more "crafty" or cunning lawyers speckled throughout the whole marketplace, but it is in these times that you will need someone to be your companion along the way. Too many lawyers treat you like the transaction that you are to them. That's not what you want. For your mental peace and your healing process, you will need someone to not only defend you in your battles but give you the guidance on what's coming up ahead. The most important thing about Larry is that he answers you, and he answers with such clarity. In my experience, he was so much more than fair that it just seemed like things were too good to be true with him. Don't even think that for a moment. He's the real deal, a real help and a real human being. God bless that man for everything he's done. Such heart in what he does, and believe me when I say that you aren't going to find that anywhere else.

I hired Kelley for a felony theft case. My case effected my job, and I needed it cleared up quickly in order to return to work. Within 30 days of my first court date, Kelley had my case reduced to a misdemeanor deferred, so that I could return to work. Kelley worked diligently with the prosecutor and myself to get the matter resolved quickly. She has a great rapport with the DAs, and she kept me informed every step of the way. The day I hired her, I felt such relief because she has a true passion for helping her clients. Even after my case was closed, she still contacted me to make sure I understood all the requirements of my deferred adjudication and to help with anything else I may need. I would highly recommend Kelley for anyone who wants a lawyer that truly cares about the well being of their clients, extremely knowledgable about the court system and criminal laws, and has a great rapport with the DAs.

I had a felony theft case, and it effected my job. I needed the case dropped quickly in order to return to work and keep my position. I knew the minute I spoke to Kelley on the phone that I was in good hands. She attentively listened, asked questions, and showed empathy for my situation and genuine concern for my well being. Two days later we went to court for the first time and within one month my case was dropped to a misdemeanor deferred, so that I could return to work. Throughout the entire case Kelley communicated with the prosecutor and myself almost daily to get the situation resolved and keep my job in tact. Kelley has a great rapport with the prosecutors and an outstanding knowledge of the legal system. She had come highly recommended to me through a friend, and I couldn't have picked anyone else to handle this situation more effectively. She's knowledgable, thorough, diligent, and genuinely cares about her clients!

Kelley helped me with a theft case that was ridiculous anyway. Not only did she explain everything that was going on, what could happen, she also made me feel instantly upon our first meeting that everything was going to be fine. I had been so stressed about this issue and when I met with her she made me feel relieved. She is extremely knowledgeable of the criminal court system, responded immediately to any questions I had, and she researched the case to the tiniest detail. I was amazed at how skilled she was and my case has been dismissed completely. She told me in the beginning that was what she was going for but that there were other possibilities. I always knew what was going on and what she was going to do each time we went to court. If you want a skilled attorney who will keep you well informed and also make you feel like you are her only client (even though you know you are not her only client) then I recommend you giving Kelley a call immediately.

Sylvia did exactly what she said she was going to do with my case. She supported and believed me and made me feel incredibly safe to be in her hands after being a target. You don't think it can happen to you until it does. It doesn't take as much as you think for a liar to get someone to believe them to risk changing your life forever. Sylvia got my case dismissed and she shot me straight from the very beginning. Why you would not want to hire someone who has spent their career here in Harris county winning. My corporate attorney and one of my best friends recommended her and it was the right choice, the only choice to make.

Entering Liberty County on a poss < 1g enhanced indictment (while on bond for same offense in Garza County, TX) Mr. Schaffer, Liebermann & Sorreson (his team) negotiated a probated plea for me. The beauty of the plea was FACT, my first TDC # was 367859, second was 412479 & BOP # 16639-077. I would have screamed FANTASY from the highest mountain however this firm is the REAL DEAL! No unrealistic expectations along the way either, just straight to the point facts. Great post conviction work as well, the firm handled an appeal for me up to and through the 5th circuit and I ran out of defense funds or I think & believe in the US Supreme Court the case would have been reversed. If you need top shelf representation spend the money and retain this firm it is worth every dime. Good luck to all!!

I recently was charged with a serious felony offense. I went to see Mr. Schaffer and at first I was a little put off by the price.

Mr. Schaffer and his team sprang into action and they left no stone unturned. My case went to the grand jury and Mr. Schaffer made an excellent presentation that resulted in my case being nobilled and dimissed.

I was sitting in county jail feeling like all hope was lost with the other attorney that was on my case. I was going to the law library trying to file motions with no experience in criminal law whatsoever, and getting nowhere really fast. So when my family Hired Ms. Cockrell I was skeptical because of all my previous run-ins with lawyers. From the not answering calls to generally thinking their client is automatically guilty until proven innocent, But once I spoke with her (which was a shock in its self) I instantly felt confident in her ability. The difference to me was she genuinely cares for the client and wanted to fight for my innocence and refused to submit like most defense lawyers. She was helpful, understanding, and strived for the best outcome in my case. I felt it was worth it. Now I'm at home with family and its all thanks to Ms. Cockrell.

If you want an attorney that actually cares about his clients, Darrel Jordan is your man. Darrel Jordan went to battle for me in the court. Darrel Jordan was able to get my case dismissed. I would definitely refer him to a friend or family member.

Attorney Jordan is thorough, professional, kind-hearted and most importantly he GETS THE JOB DONE. From our initial consultation he was very considerate of my unique situation; As an out of state full-time professional student, my future was at stake for a crime that was completely out of my character and that would surely hinder my my career pursuits if convicted guilty. As a first time offender with so much on the line, Attorney Jordan fought my case and got it COMPLETELY DISMISSED. I took an 8 hour online theft course and that was it..NO FINE, NO COMMUNITY SERVICE.. just a class. I had high hopes when I hired Attorney Jordan but he has far surpassed my expectations. A case dismissal in Houston is rare; so, that alone speaks volumes. But to say the least, I truly believe that Attorney Jordan will do all that he can for the benefit of is clients, and not to mention, he was accommodating and affordable for my fixed income. Strongly Recommend!! :)

I have been dealing with my lawsuit for about 2 1/2 years and going nowhere before Shaw came in you take it over. Shaw was aggressive from the get-go and very clear on how he wanted to handle my case to its conclusion. I was beyond happy to finally have him come in and take control and finally get my case settled for me within months of taking over. I highly recommend Shaw Clifford and will hire him again if I have a need to.

I was arrested for possession of marijuana. Being my second offense, with a prior arrest back in 2007 for theft, left me really uncertain of what the outcome would be.The case took a lot of me, the DA told Mark, that because I've already had record he could not dismiss it. Mark was able prove that i was stopped without probable cause using the NTB off the police cruiser, which proved my story over the officers story which lead to a dismissal. I strongly recommend Mark, if you ever caught in a jam.

I am happy and proud to share that after 7 years I am 100% a free man. Mr Hilder and Ms McGuire guided me through a multi agency and multi national FCPA conspiracy case that could have ended much worse had it not been for their concern for my well being and ultimately that of my family. On May 2016 I got the knock on my door that would turn our world upside down until the 1 year reduction of my supervised release the team at Hilder & Associates was able to deliver June 2nd 2023. I would not have done it differently, I would recommend Ms McGuire eyes shut. No. 4:17-cr-00006

I want to thank Attorney Remington for successfully representing me in a recent citation case. I was worried when I received the citation, but Remington put me at ease from our first meeting. He took the time to understand the details of my situation and was very reassuring that he would do everything he could to help. Remington aggressive advocated on my behalf. He filed several strong reasoning that convincingly argued my side. I could tell he had carefully reviewed all the evidence and laws around my case. In the end, Remington obtained the full dismissal that he had promised. I'm so grateful that thanks to his efforts, I was cleared of all charges and can put this stressful situation behind me. His knowledge of the legal system and commitment to his clients is very apparent. Remington truly fought for the best possible outcome. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a dedicated, hard-working lawyer they can trust. His professionalism and ability to deliver made this process much less worrying. I feel lucky to have had such a competent attorney in my corner. Remington genuinely cares about his clients' well-being, and I am sincerely thankful for all he did for me.

One word to describe Remington is.....AMAZING! My husband and I hired Attorney Remington Alessi. He isn't like most Attorney's. From the first day we spoke to him about our case to the very end. He was extremely professional, attentive, very knowledgeable and honest. He knows his stuff! He isn't arrogant, but confident! It's a reason he is named "Texas Chainsaw Lawyer" lol. I love the fact that he isn't pushy. He doesn't make you feel like you are getting on his nerves, and he always had an ear to listen. He truly makes you feel like you matter! Anytime we needed to call him, he didn't make us feel like he was so busy and rushing us off the phone. He wasn't like the saying " Money is time". He listens and is compassionate and caring. Allowing you to ask any question that you need. Also, compared to most Attorney's he is very affordable. And to sum things up, he WON my case, it was dismissed. And this wasn't an easy case to win. So look no further. Go ahead and book him. You are in good hands! I pray I don't ever have to use him again. But if I do It will definitely be him!

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.
