I contacted this firm end of November I then reached out to secure them with promises of a call back for almost a week and no communication. The finally I got a call back informed they would speak to the attorney and let me know when we could move forward. A week ish later I got a call Nick would call me later that day and here we are almost a week in a half since with no contact. I was hopeful this was going to be the help and hope needed however they lack of communication, empty commitments and lack of follow through show me that I could not trust what is communicated when the basics of communication couldn’t even be upheld from the jump. Not only am I disappointed but this set me further behind for what is needed to be done…

Make sure you read every line of the contract you sign with them. Because they do not give any of your retainer back. I was lead to believe otherwise. It states very clearly that they will keep it. This is my fault for not reading this contract, I admit it. And even after finally receiving my divorce decree they were sending me an email stating my account trust was getting low and I needed to replenish it back to the original amount…so they could keep it. Why would they do that? No wonder I am not fond of attorneys. Here we are waiting for this divorce decree so we can move on with certain aspects of our lives and they wait until the days end to send it to you. I found out from my ex that morning…not even them. Talk about poor communication. People work hard for their money…WORK being the key word here. I have never kept any money that I didn’t WORK for. I am sure he will say his firms works reflects more of a 5 star review. You only have like 32 reviews out of how many clients that you took money from? Yeah!!!

Going into my process. I was stressed out. I had been turned down by so many lawyers saying I should not fight for my kids! I would leave places bawling. I decided to try again. When I met James for our consultation I started to have a light back and a sense of hope. Since then he has fought for me and made me felt at ease. He got me everything I asked for and constantly told me it’s okay and made the whole process less stressful. I am extremely grateful for James Vavrek. I would always recommend him to everyone and everyone such a great lawyer to have by your side and Joe fricks law attorney office. THANK YOU JAMESSSSS!!!

I am extremely disappointed with the services provided by this law firm. The legal assistant exhibited unprofessional behavior, and my inquiries were consistently dismissed with instructions to seek legal advice elsewhere,which is perplexing given that I was already at a law office. The attitude of the legal assistant was particularly concerning, and felt as though my concerns were not taken seriously. Due to the lack of communication and assistance, I am now facing significant challenges in pursuing child support from an unfit parent. This law firm's failure to provide proper guidance and support has left me in a difficult position. I STRONGLY advise others to consider alternative law firms, as this one appears more interested in financial gain than in providing serious support, their lack of professionalism and empathy is unacceptable, and I believe their practice should be reviewed for potential license revocation.

They were always available to answer my questions and made me feel supported throughout the entire process. Thanks to their hard work, I achieved a favorable outcome that exceeded my expectations.

I recently went thru the divorce process with Jeremy (Carr) as my attorney. For the entirety of the process Jeremy and the rest of the Clark and Feeney staff were amazing. They were proactive in submitting and responding to "counter offers" from my ex-husband and his attorney. My divorce was not quick, nor simple, and yet I have zero complaints about how Jeremy and Darla handled the situation. I didn't feel overcharged, manipulated, ignored, or cheated - I felt like they were absolutely vested in helping me achieve the best results I could hope for. Jeremy advocated in the best interests of both myself AND my children and made sure the divorce decree covered all our bases. While I hope to never need a lawyer again, I would hands down return to Clark and Feeney, Jeremy Carr, and his staff. I would also not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of representation.

I’ve worked with Clark and Feeney three times now, and each experience has been excellent. Most recently, I had the pleasure of working with attorney Sam Harrich for a DUI case. From the start, it was clear this charge was completely unjust, and Sam handled it brilliantly. This was Sam’s first jury trial, but you’d never know it. He was exceptionally prepared, confident, and strategic throughout. He kept the defense on their toes, exposed significant flaws in the prosecution’s case, and made the lead police officer’s credibility crumble on the stand. I also want to mention how helpful his assistant, Courtney, was throughout the process. She was organized, communicative, and made sure everything ran smoothly behind the scenes. On top of their strong performance, the firm’s billing was transparent, and the case was completed for the agreed-upon amount—no surprises. Sam Harrich and the staff at Clark and Feeney, thank you so much!!

I have read some of the negative reviews about Curtis Smith's paralegal Blake. I have been a client of Mr. Smith for a number of years and have had the pleasure of talking to Blake many many times. My experience has been quite contrary to these reviews. Blake has been polite as well as respectful. Not to mention diligent in answering any questions I've had. Words cannot express my gratitude for Mr.Smith. He is amazing. And as a team he and Blake have performed miracles for me time and time again. To say I am satisfied with both would be the understatement of a lifetime. Incredible people and team for criminal defense.

I feel as if the people leaving bad reviews are the opposing parties or people that couldn’t afford her. She is amazing. A family member had a lot of false accusations (very serious ones) and Kim was able to shut it down in court immediately. My family member that had a lot of cards stacked against them got everything they wanted out of the deal and that was because of this office and team. She is expensive, but worth it when you are fighting for your livelihood and family. I would recommend her a thousand times over for anyone facing a tough court battle.

With the fear of jail and disruption of my family life , I had a public defender that didn't seem to care much about my outcome, after a quick Google search I found Nona , the initial sticker price for a competent lawyer was a shock , but in the end Nona was very informative and tough with the prosecuting attorneys. Everyone was held accountable. After a very stressful period Nona got me the best possible outcome I could have hoped for , where the public defender said minimum jail time, Nona ended the case with no jail time. He has the experience and knows the in and outs of the law , and as a plus he has close professional relationships with everyone that will be involved with your case. I can't recommend Nona enough. If you have the option to pay for representation Nona is the choice. Nona's paralegal Lisa Wilson was beyond helpful as well, constantly reminding me of my appointments and playing tag with phone calls. She was a line of communication when it was needed. And Always with a positive deminor .

We hired this firm for representation in our immigration case, hoping for reliable guidance and support. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. Communication was consistently difficult, and getting clear answers to our questions felt almost impossible. The firm seemed to rely heavily on front desk staff to handle issues beyond their role. Over the course of our case, we were assigned different attorneys for each hearing, making it feel like we lacked any consistent advocacy. In one instance, an attorney even arrived late to a critical hearing. Given the high cost of their services, we expected a level of professionalism and dedication that was simply not there. I absolutely would not recommend this firm based on our experience.

The people that work here are angels on earth! They really actually care about helping people we did all the lawyer no-no’s out of ignorance and even then the attourny we spoke with gave us advice and guidances on how to proceed. The Attourny was very kind even though we shot ourself in the foot he thought of several options and made things very simple and clear to understand. When I first called for a phone consultation they said they were booked till later in the week. So I explained that I had court literally the next day and the secretary offered to put me on the waitlist. The Attourny called me after hours just to answer my questions later that same day! Who does that!?!? Selfless kind angels like the ones that work here. The Attourny was very knowledgeable, personable and professional. I hope I never need them again but, if I do I’m NOT thinking twice! Thank you Berrera!!! God bless you guys!

I'm 28 years old and I never write reviews, but Anderson Law is a huge waste of time. My wife scheduled an appointment at 1:00 today (Friday, 08/23/24). Unfortunatley, nobody contacted her. After waiting 15 - 20 minutes, we called the office and were told by the receptionist that the appointment was actually scheduled for Thursday, which is total BS. Nobody called us yesterday either. No voicemail, no email, no text, NOTHING. This experience has been a complete waste of time. We’re disappointed with the lack of communication and will be seeking legal advice elsewhere.

Angels office and Justin Walters are a JOKE, Walters doesn't understand HIPAA law or even ADA Law under the courts perview. We have drug addicts, and they are wasting the tax payers money, on an ADA dog violation. That should have NEVER happened as Angell is the City Atty, of Rigby, and should have instructed the Mayor and the Police Chief the definition of neighborhood nuience, Tasha and Brenda Lane, I an ADA can not take my ADA dog out in a back yard I perched, because there's agressive dogs that attack the fence, pushing the fence boards into my yard, and those dogs already jumped the fence and attacked another neighbors dogs.So, I took my dog out front and Tasha and Brenda Lane, along with Matthew Polk have been playing games since the day I moved in Angell himself has been named in a Tort, and reported to the BAR so this is just good ole boy retaliation. So, your tax dollars are going to prosecute an ADA person because Angell, didn't council the Mayor, City Council, or the Chief of Police and it's officers of ordinances to get the neighbors under control, of course they didn't, they want to prosecute a dog off a leash for pissing. That's how money grubbing these Zealots are. Wasting YOUR tax dollars to fill thier pockets over perry incident of neighbors that appear to be above the law themselves in Chief Fullmor's eyes I think it's called selective prosecutions, when the law is only applies to specific parties, Oh actually the police manuals already address this, how do I know? I read them ALL. I also went to the PD Academy about 30 years ago and have my 911 dispatcher certs. I have been studying law 23 years. This is nothing but good ole boy retaliation for naming Angell in a Tort, and reporting him to the BAR. Happy he's playing retaliation for a 156.00 fine? This will probably expose the underground of the criminal complex of back scratching of we will let our friends violate the laws but go after those that we want to make an example of. Tax Payers I'm here to tell you, Angells Firm has already billed the city more than 156.50 on your dime, to prosecute a dog needing a place to take a piss. As a tax payer you should be pissed that Angell, our little Mayor and self proclaimed "oversight" with ZERO experience in either law or policing knows what the heck Chief Fullmor's doing. Oh, but I sure know what's going on. Because I have combined 30 years of both knowledge of both law and PD knowledge. Unlike our Mayor or even Angell himself. Justin Walters is a rude little miscreant that does not understand HIPAA or ADA Laws. This law firm is preditory and seeks to abuse it's power within the community off the community's tax dollars. To bad the Police Chief and gang didn't focus on getting drugs off the street, instead they are worried about an ADA dog needing to piss. Oh side note Allen Fillmor and gang of cops don't seem to be able to find former City Atty Dunn with Fentanyl cuz they are to busy trying to nail ADA people and thier dogs needing to go to the bathroom. This is how our tax dollars are spent people. It's only going to get worse. As I investigate, I found out Angell is rolling in our tax dollars. I public record requested his city contract and just this contract brings in 6k PLUS 3500.00 per misdimeanor. I've found three illegal revenue streams involving citations and fees, he and Justin Walters know what they are doing to the people of Rigby, this goes all the way to the top and through our current government and I have the hard copy proof now. I'm going to the Public Corruption Unit of the FBI where I have turned in a dirty cop now doing 40 years in Club Fed. Angell is so glib he thought no one would catch on. PRR public records, Walters is in charge for fees and fines. I caught Walters and Judge picking who and how to punish people. Citations are supposed to go up per citation. They didn't fine to ordaninces. Chief of the PD involved. Corruption. FOIA Dave Swager, City Hall 4 insurance/ bonds. Police Misconduct/ Dishonest Employees 500k each egregious action.

I was convinced Stephanie had my best interest at heart. She's great at telling you what you want to hear -- allowing you to feel confident, which is a good thing. That said, I felt my case was drawn out way longer than needed because she works on her own and is frequently unavailable to take/return calls/attend court dates etc. She also encouraged me to pursue things that I feel extended the length of the divorce process and in hindsight weren't important to me. Those things came at not just a financial cost, but put me at odds with my ex, which in the end, not worth it.

I retained Stephanie to represent me in a felony possession of a controlled substance case. She pushed the State every step of the way and they finally dismissed my case! Stephanie refused to back down or push me into a plea deal. I cannot thank her enough for all her hard work and the time she spent making sure I didn't lose my freedom. If you need a good defense attorney, Stephanie will have your back!

In 2014 I retained Ms. Riley's legal counsel to help unravel a situation that was misunderstood and petty with unreasonable sanctions. A potentially unfavorable outcome (possible jail time and significant fines) was avoided following Ms. Riley's thorough fact-finding investigation which resulted in dropped charges and a small fine to cover court fees. My first (and hopefully last!) experience in legal proceedings couldn't have been handled better! Thanks, Stephanie!

I recently finished my contract/Journey with Alycia and Noemi with my dad's immigration case. They both helped fix/Organize my dad'scase. I am leaving my honest and detailed review about my experience with these two and through out these two years, they have been AWESOME!!! Paralegal Noemi, is absolutely AMAZING and her communication is top notch! Shes on top of it!!!!! Alycia, she always takes the time to explain things even if you dont fully understand a term/or the situation. I am the type of person that likes to get things going and always on top of things (not procrastinating things) and these two met my expectations not only with always on top of things with my case but overall the whole experience. If your looking for an immigration attorney with a great paralegal....then Noemi and Alycia are for you! Definitely recommend!!! Thank you Alycia & Noemi for not only your help, but your hard work and dedication you had on my dad's case.

I recently went thru the divorce process with Jeremy (Carr) as my attorney. For the entirety of the process Jeremy and the rest of the Clark and Feeney staff were amazing. They were proactive in submitting and responding to "counter offers" from my ex-husband and his attorney. My divorce was not quick, nor simple, and yet I have zero complaints about how Jeremy and Darla handled the situation. I didn't feel overcharged, manipulated, ignored, or cheated - I felt like they were absolutely vested in helping me achieve the best results I could hope for. Jeremy advocated in the best interests of both myself AND my children and made sure the divorce decree covered all our bases. While I hope to never need a lawyer again, I would hands down return to Clark and Feeney, Jeremy Carr, and his staff. I would also not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of representation.

I’ve worked with Clark and Feeney three times now, and each experience has been excellent. Most recently, I had the pleasure of working with attorney Sam Harrich for a DUI case. From the start, it was clear this charge was completely unjust, and Sam handled it brilliantly. This was Sam’s first jury trial, but you’d never know it. He was exceptionally prepared, confident, and strategic throughout. He kept the defense on their toes, exposed significant flaws in the prosecution’s case, and made the lead police officer’s credibility crumble on the stand. I also want to mention how helpful his assistant, Courtney, was throughout the process. She was organized, communicative, and made sure everything ran smoothly behind the scenes. On top of their strong performance, the firm’s billing was transparent, and the case was completed for the agreed-upon amount—no surprises. Sam Harrich and the staff at Clark and Feeney, thank you so much!!

I would give zero stars for George DeFord if I could when it comes to family law and custody. We paid $8k for nothing. He never spoke up in court, didn't present any documents during court, and when the judge asked if there were any questions his answer was he didn't know they were allowed 🤦‍♀️ Honestly RUN! Front desk gal was super sweet and amazing and the only thing this place has going for them tbh!

I hired Courtney Peterson, in hopes that I could rely and trust her to help me through the process of my husband's case. I was looking more for an attorney that knew what they were doing, not a friend to discuss their personal life. From the start, it was very unprofessional, we ended up hiring a new attorney. I feel as though she could have been more helpful, and less misleading. I would never recommend Courtney as an attorney to anyone. If it was up to me, I would give her no stars.

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.
