Listen to Christina! I am so glad I did. She knows the law and will protect your rights and help you work within them. She saved my business money, protected me from possible lawsuits, and educated me as well. Great communication and easy to reach. Fast response. Will work with her again.

Attorney Cheek handled my divorce with a very difficult now ex husband to deal with. I have continued to have problems with him and she is going above and beyond the norm with helping me. When she needs advice herself, she doesn't hesitate to consult with other attorneys. I value that in someone who is working for me.

After experiencing a nasty break up, Attorney Cheek walked me through the process of getting a divorce. She was very patient with me and explained everything to me so that we could both make the right decisions to get divorced without too much drama. Her knowledge and expertise were second to none. I recommend Attorney Cheek to anyone who wants an understanding attorney who knows how to get the job done.

I met Mr. Rodney while walking my dog at Memory park. I was immediately entranced by his life experience. What stood out as an expressive example of his law practice was his role as a coach. He told of me to fight and fight and fight. Never give up; it is a matter of pride in yourself. I love that. A person can never hear that enough. Life is tough. Ya’ gotta’ have strength. Perseverance and most of all vision with belief that you are upholding justice.

I have used Chris Norton as my attorney on two different occasions. The first was for a case where a car backed into my car; on the second case, Chris helped me file a claim with my insurance company for a hit-and-run accident. The process of submitting a claim and dealing with the insurance representatives was far more difficult than I realized. Therefore, I hired Chris to be my attorney and deal with my insurance company for me, and he was able to get a far better settlement for me than I ever would have gotten on my own. Chris was very responsive to my questions and I was extremely happy with how he handled my case and kept me informed of the status of my claim every step of the way. I found Chris to be extremely knowledgeable as an attorney and very aggressive at getting the best financial settlement for me that was possible. Chris would be the very first attorney I would contact for any type of legal matter I may ever have. I trust that he is an honest attorney with integrity. I would highly recommend him as an attorney for anyone.

Mr. Jones assisted me thoroughly with the filing and communication on a mechanics lien filed on a client of mine that refused to submit final payment. Mr. Jones knowledge and experience guided me through the process with minimal time on my behalf. The outcome of the whole process was very gratifying and I was allowed to continue using the extra time to run my business while Mr. Jones did the excellent job of retrieving the final balance from the noted company.
I was pleased with Mr. Jones work and would definitely refer him to family and friends.

5 stars are not enough to justify the service and dedication he has provided for myself and our family. I could write all day long and it still won’t be enough to praise how dedicated and honest of an attorney John is consistently. He is selfless, he is fair and just, he fights for what is right, especially when innocent children are caught in the ugly mess of divorce/custody battles. Amidst a major life crisis that turned our entire families lives upside down, when I was terrified, morose, and confused, I found John who helped me find clarity and calm throughout the legal process. Prior to John I had retained many lawyers in a series of high conflict family and criminal matters. Nobody helped us like John, they did not compare whatsoever. I had spent my life savings on empty promises & our situation proceeded to get worse. Before working with John I did not trust that anyone would really help our family, which we needed desperately at that point. John set expectations, realistic expectations; which are not always what you want to hear and doesn't seem logical sometimes in family matters, but it was the truth! If I had a million dollars to hire a lawyer in a family or criminal case I would hire John LaGrappe. John is not afraid of high-conflict and he is not intimidated of opposing counsel. He works HARD, and is DEDICATED. I have referred John to others and they gave positive feedback. I would hire John again and recommend him to others. He saved our lives.

John is amazingly quick on his feet. He was able to negotiate a complete reversal in my custody battle, which resulted in me gaining full custody of my son! Most dad's don't get the opportunity to raise their children, but thanks to John, I do get to raise my son. I am very grateful for John, his knowledge of the law, and his ability to navigate the legal system. He is an excellent attorney that cares about his clients, communicates well with them, and fights hard for them.

It is hard to find words to express our profound gratitude to Todd Bennett. From the moment we contacted him with the arrest of our son, he took charge and knew exactly what to do. He always treated us with kindness and respect. Todd advised us on programs for our son, as well as other specialist for him to see. This was instrumental in helping our son’s case as well as helping him personally. We felt very well prepared for our son’s trial. He did not create any false expectations, but rather gave us a very clear idea of all the possible outcomes of our son’s situation. Todd’s trial preparation, strategies and court room experience ultimately resulted in our son’s acquittal. We cannot thank him enough for what he has done for our son and our whole family. Todd will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Some situations in life require we delegate the handling of a situation to a trustworthy representative. I was pleasantly surprised that Mr, Robert Todd Bennett involvement on my behalf. The Robert Todd Bennett Law Office in Houston is a firm you can trust to do what is the correct practice and procedure, and a firm which gets results. Robert Todd Bennett is clearly an active representative who you should have on your side. They are there for you. And I am very much satisfied with their diligent and active pursuit of all the usual remedies that get the record straight, and the best outcome obtained.

I got a pom, possession of marijuana, in 2012 called an attorney that I had used on previous pom charge (2006) and was told x amount for 12 months differed probation. Called a friend and got Stevens number, who had also used previous lawyer. Called Steven for him to tell me half the price for same probation. Steven was at court on time, on day required, and explained everything to me in laymen's terms.Did my 12 months and have since called Steven for advise for pom in Alabama (referred me to someone in Alabama name/number) as well as a family law matter. If he can't take care of you, he can and will refer you to a recommended choice. Would recommend him to anyone I know.

Mr. Touchstone is ALL about his clients. I had a Failure to Stop and Give Information case in which I was not guilty of but was willing to take a time served offer to make it go away. Instead of just letting me roll over and give in Mr. Touchstone vigorously attacked the State's case and got the charge dismissed on the day of trial. He truly put my interests and future first and I am forever grateful

I hired Lashon in late 2014. she actually listened to what I had to say. My court date was fast approaching and I thought I was in a great deal of trouble. From the first consultation with Lashon she stood up for me with the opposing attorney and advised me to continue doing what I was doing and leave the rest to her. I then received a summons to appear in court because my ex-spouse wanted me to give up total control. Well Lashon had something to say about that. When the court date came not only did Lashon get my ex-spouse to admit that the children had never missed an event that she had planned, the judge took about 5 seconds to deny opposing counsels motion. It took everything I had not to break out into tears in front of the judge. Then she took the time to talk me through the process after court and told me what to expect next. I have absolutely no regrets, except for maybe not hiring her sooner. I highly recommend her and would use her again without any delay. LASHON.....Thank you so very much for your help!

I am a CHL carrier and had a circumstance needing Kyle's firm "Musick and Musick Law Offices to answer a referral. They put Kyle with me and his integrity shined through. The proceedings went exactly as he advised me and I was thankful to him for what must have been a not so rare situation these days. His assertiveness was not bravado it was honest and proved the system works if given the chance. I will always recommend him in the future!

My son was asked by someone he thought was a friend to drive him somewhere. The friend picked up other friends that pulled a gun on my son and made him drive to commit a crime. When the police stopped them, my son pulled over and the others ran. The police refused to listen to his explanation and he was charged with the crime.
Ms. Fisher fought long and hard to find the others and present evidence that cleared my son of wrong doing. It took over a year, but she did not take the easy way out and plea down the charges, charges that would have followed my son throughout his life. She is well respected by those in the court system and has integrity. She is tough and she doesn't back down.
My son has a good job and has a future thanks to Ms. Fisher's help. Without her, his ability to get a good job would have been limited. I can't thank her enough.

If someone asked me do I know a good attorney, I’d say I know an EXCELLENT attorney and her name is Letitia Quinones.
Back in 2007, I needed legal assistance to help with a criminal case. A gentleman I met told me to contact the attorney he knew. The attorney he knew did not end up being the Counsel, but Letitia was given the case. Not knowing what to expect, I was extremely grateful for Letitia because she was honest and laid the cards on the table. There was no guessing or leaving without understanding. She was great! We never know why things happen the way that they do, but God sent us an Angel.
Moving forward to 2017, two cases were picked up and Letitia was the only attorney I was contacting. When you know what you are getting, there is absolutely no need to look any further. Letitia worked these two cases just like I knew she would. She will work every case to exhaustion to receive the perfect outcome for her clients. If there were only 10 rocks to turn over, Letitia would find more. That to me represents the strength of her skills as an attorney. During the process of these two cases, another case was picked up. Again, Letitia exhibited the quality of excellence.
What you will get when you hire Letitia, with over 20 years of experience: Judicial expertise, Honesty, Loyalty, Patience, Thoroughness, Trustworthiness, Diligence, Attentiveness, Dependability, Determination, Discipline, Endurance, and more.

I could not have found a better attorney than Letitia Quinones. Ms. Quinones and her team are caring, professional, dedicated and passionate when it comes to defending their clients. Letitia represented my son in court about a month ago I was very impressed with the concise and powerful defense that she provided for my son. I can honestly say I never seen an attorney consistently push back on the prosecutor and did not back down for one second. She was always available whenever I had questions or concerns regarding my son’s case. I would highly recommend her for any of your legal needs.

At the last minute my husband, who was working out of state, needed to be represented at his hearing for a driver's license suspension. I must have called at least 15 attorneys in the Houston area. All of them took my information and assured me someone would be calling me shortly. Not one of those other law firms ever called me back. I was referred to Mr. De Leef by another law firm that didn't service the court we would be at. They promptly returned my call. I spoke with Dawn from the office multiple times in the first 2 hours after contacting the office. She was so friendly and helpful, and they didn't even bat an eye at the fact that I was calling on Thursday to be represented in court on the next TUESDAY! She was thorough and extremely helpful, and Mr. De Leef even contacted the court on our behalf within 30 minutes of me initially contacting them. They were upfront about the charges, and in my opinion their prices were extremely fair. Better still, he got us a positive outcome, and my husband's license was not suspended for an additional year. I am so grateful that I found them. They made a stressful situation as easy and painless for us as I could have hoped. I would recommend this law firm to anyone whose looking for a law firm that communicates promptly, and gets the job done!

A consummate professional in every respect. Peter defended me in a family violence case that had implications for my relationship with my son, as well as my career and professional reputation. He and his partners prove competent, accessible within reason, and deeply sincere. The both of us worked to present the best defense possible, with evidence that reduced my sentence to something I believe was fair and reasonable. Bravo.

Peter is the best lawyer to hire if you are involved in any criminal dispute. He knows the law and has a get it done attitude. I was falsely accused of a felony and several class A misdemeanors and Peter was able to see right through the false accusations and was able to pull off the impossible. All charges were dropped and eventually expunged. As a former prosecutor, he knows the ins and outs of the system. He knows exactly what the next move will be and can respond diligently in your defense. The most important thing to remember with working with Peter is to tell the truth. Regardless if you are guilty or not, the only way for him to truly help you come away with the most fair outcome, he must know the truth when he speaks to prosecutors. This will let the prosecutors know that Peter truly knows his client well and will do whatever it takes to prevent his client from getting a record. Remember, as a prosecutor, he is a good judge of character and is right on when it comes to reading people. If you need an attorney, Peter is the one to hire. You can trust your life in his hands.

I can honestly say David Overhuls is my HERO ! He was everything I needed and wanted in the lawyer representing me on a felony drug charge. From the very beginning he was energetic and ready to fight for my life. He was down right impressive with jury selection especially when he did his blue pen trick. He was thorough and well prepared for trial and when he got the arresting officer on the stand he was a "bulldog" as my mom eloquently dubbed him. He is ruthless with his big ole flip board and over sized sharpies. He could teach the class on how to win a trial. I was blessed to have worked with David and strongly suggest hiring him to represent you. If you are in trouble and want someone that believes in you regardless of how bad it looks on the surface then David is your man !

He tried to keep the DWI off my record but because of a different problem that I had with my license being suspended he couldn't. I ended up with probation, but he kept me out of jail. I think he did the best he could.

I used Douglas A. A'Hern for my husbands case it was a drug case and Mr. A'Hern was always available anytime I would have a question. He would personally answer any question or concerns I had. He took the time to explain why and how he was doing things. Even though at first we hesitated with the way he was taking the case he kept telling us it was for the best and now that the case is close I know is true. He is a great attorney I would definitely recommend him and his rates are decent.

Having used numerous attorney's in the past I know that it is hard to find a good one that does not want to retire on you. I have used D. A'Hern for several differant cases with myself and my family and I will continue to use him in the future as well as refer family and friends. He took the time to explain the process that I was going through and at each step explained what was happening, what I could expect and how we were going to achive the desired result. I found that he was very knowedgeable and responded in a timely manner when I asked questions about the probate process and how to proceed. This process has been very difficult to deal with since there are several family members involved and he has continued to help focus on the task at hand even when your personal character is attacked for trying to fulfill the last wishes of a loved one. He has provided several avenues to proceed with each situation and allowed us the time to think about them before making a decision and not pushing us in one way or the other.

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.
