Ben Moore did an excellent job helping my dad after his auto accident. All of the phone calls from the insurance companies, the medical bills that starting coming in. The doctors and PT apointments. He was just trying to get better and it all became overwhelming for him. Ben took over the whole thing and dad didn't have to worry about it again. The case finally settled last week. My Dad wasn't looking to make money - he just wanted everything to be covered. He walked away with extra! So thankful for Ben. We knew we could trust him to handle everything and he went above and beyond and put my dad's mind at ease through the entire process. He is professional and trustworthy. We highly recommend his services.

Ms. Plata is an exceptionally fine attorney who represented our son in a juvenile matter which had serious consequences. Ms. Plata's dedication to our son's case we consider above and beyond our expectations with an outcome much better than anticipated. If you wish to have an attorney that has compassion for their client and truly cares I would highly recommend her firm for any of your legal matters.

Working with Ms. Plata was THE best experience I have had. This was my first time needing an attorney so I was a bit nervous but she made the experience easy and quick. She started working on my case the next day and communicated with me every step of the way so I wasn't confused on anything. I would definitely use Ms. Plata again and recommend her to everyone! If I could give more stars I would, 5 is just not enough!

Robert was awesome to work with. My case took years to resolve and i never felt out of the loop. I could always get ahold of him through text, calls, or emails. He took what we needed into account and always made sure we were able to get the treatment we needed for our injuries. In the long run we were able to settle right as the trial started and we are happy to have our future treatment and more secure. Such a weight is off our shoulders and we have Robert and everyone else at his firm that helped to thank for it. I would highly recommend having this firm fight for you because I've seen how they fought for me and my brother. Thank you guys again!

Attorney Stephen Kelly displays knowledge and confidence that warrants respect just in his voice. He ask questions to insure he understands the full situation, investigates the facts and responds to the client with dignity. His strong ethics allow you to trust that he will represent you/your loved one according to the plan that has been discussed. His fees were reasonable. He was very professional and responsive giving the personal attention needed. He gave me the peace of mind I needed since I was out of town. I would recommend him to anyone.

I hired Mr.Kelly at a time that was very much needed I was facing ten years and I was also dealing with a lawyer who was telling me and my family fictional stories about my case. Mr. Kelly came in with a right mitigation package got me down to a two and a half years of house arrest/probation I am so thankful for the work that he did. And I look up to him he is a very upstanding person and inspirational man.

Patrick helped me with a complicated and drawn out case. As a healthcare provider facing legal issues can be detrimental, so having good representation is a must. I met with various lawyers, but Patrick’s knowledge of military law, rules, and regulations was extremely impressive. During our consultation call, with no prior knowledge of my situation, he was able to tell me exactly what the case would entail, the outcomes that I could expect, and accurately reference Air Force guidance. From the moment he began representing me I felt supported. He immediately began communicating with my command and advocating for me. Patrick fought hard for me and thanks to him we had a favorable outcome.

I hired Patrick Korody to help with my clearance hearing related to a guideline F item. Mr. Korody worked with me to identify the evidence needed to present a strong case and present it in the best light possible. Thanks to his experience, expert advice, and clear communication with the opposing council my case was dismissed in my favor prior to the clearance hearing.
Additional details:
While searching for an lawyer to represent me, I contacted several law offices. While I was impressed by the questions and responses I received from a few lawyers, Mr. Korody actually asked me to provide a few documents related to my case. After reviewing the documents I provided, Mr. Korody called me back and provided me additional feedback on my case.
It was this additional attention to detail and personal touch that gave me the confidence to hire Mr. Korody. As you'd imagine with the results provided above, I'm very happy with my decision to hire Patrick Korody.

It was very pleasant working with Mr. Korody. During the free consultation, he gave me sound advice on what to do if I wanted to represent myself and also what he can do as my attorney. I chose to hire him because I didn't want to risk losing my clearance from any mistakes or lack of information I might have submitted on my own. Mr. Korody was very detailed and his communication level was excellent. I felt confident that he would resolve the issues with my clearance and he did! My clearance went through and I'm thankful to be able to celebrate the holidays without having that burden on my mind. I definitely would recommend him! He's an amazing attorney and a great person.

I have used this firm twice now and the first case completely won me over. Every one knows me on a first name basis. Constantly communicating with their clients thru the process. I have used other firms and despite their empty promises they didn’t compare to the professionalism and honesty that I have received with this firm.
A particular shout out to Jordan Beard who will go the extra mile at any cost for his clients. Reassuring me that I’ve chosen the right group of attorneys to reapers sent me to their very best capabilities!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND RONALD SCHOOLS LAW FIRM TO ANY ONE TRYING TO MAKE THE DIFFICULT DECISION OF WHO TO HAVE REPRESENT YOU!

Attorneys Ron Sholes and Blair Butler at Ron Sholes P.A. fought to get a terrific auto accident recovery for me of $125,000. I am thrilled. I believe other firms may have settled for less, but I witnessed how Ron and Blair fight tooth and nail every step of the way for their clients in Jacksonville to get the maximum recovery for auto accidents. Ron and Blair stayed on top of my auto accident case and communicated with me every step of the way. Both Ron and Blair even gave me their cell phone numbers right up front--Wow! Everyone worked to provide an excellent experience and a great recovery. I will definitely recommend Ron Sholes P.A. to my family, friends, and coworkers for auto accidents and any other legal areas that the firm practices. I would give them 10 Gold Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ if I could. I guess I just did.

My company was downsizing and as a senior employee at retirement age, I lost my job. Knowing that I could not continue paying the high-cost permanent alimony that the court ordered years ago, I needed help. Remembering that a friend highly recommended Attorney Bill Dorsey, I scheduled a consultation. There was a fee, but it was worth it because “you get what you pay for”.
I hired Bill and I am extremely fortunate that I did. He led throughout the entire process, and was assisted by team members Sue and Erica. When you hire The Dorsey Law Firm, they are genuinely interested in your case and are extremely helpful. Requests were promptly managed, and the team ALWAYS kept me informed on the status of current proceedings or actions. Impressive!
At Mediation, a remarkably successful resolution was reached. I could not be happier!
Bill Dorsey is Outstanding! YOU NEED his subject knowledge and strategic recommendations. If you want the best outcome for any court issue, call Bill Dorsey.

Mr Dorsey and his team helped dig me out of the messy trench my last 2 lawyers had left me in. I can’t begin to explain how bad my first few lawyers had screwed up my case and made me look bad against an abusive drug addict narcissist who could charm the pant suit off Hilary Clinton. Mr Dorsey took on my case and for the first time I actually felt like I could trust my lawyer. Unlike my last attorney who charged me an insane amount of money to screw me over, Mr Dorsey gave me a free consultation and always charged me honestly and fairly. He gave me his personal cell number for emergencies and him and his team were always very responsive to my calls and emails. He fought tooth and nail against one of the most dishonest and corrupt opposing councils I have ever seen! He is well known and honored around Jacksonville and St Augustine by many other esteemed lawyers and judges.
If you are in need of a good, honest attorney who will fight for you as if you were his own family, you need to hire Bill Dorsey and his team. He is tough and does not give up. Believe me, I probably had the largest case file he had ever taken on in a civil case and he took the time to go over all of it so he didn’t miss a thing. He is stern but honest so listen to his advice because he knows what he is talking about. I can only say that about 1 other lawyer and I have met way more than I ever wanted to.
If you are like me and can’t trust your lawyer and have been paying someone and trusting them with your life but all they seem to do is ignore you and take your money: HIRE BILL DORSEY and he will help you get your life (your child/children) back!

No one really wants to go through any family/custody battles. So when I was faced with this issues I had no choice but to retain an attorney. After numerous hours/days of research I found the Dorsey Law Firm.
I came to Mr. Dorsey with a lot of uncertainty with my impending custody case. During my consultation Mr. Dorsey was fully tuned in and very attentive. He answered every question I had very confidently. After I retained Mr. Dorsey, his team and himself started working on the case promptly. They filed an emergency motion and was able to get a hearing for temporary custody within a few weeks. I was granted temporary custody until the outcome of the final hearing.
In Preparation for the final hearing Mr. Dorsey and the team were with me every step of the way. They reassured me of the potential outcome, instilled confidence in myself and the direction of the case. During the final hearing Mr. Dorsey was very thorough, firm, and fully prepared. His cross examination skills, rebuttals, presentation, and delivery was superb.
As a result, I was grant 75% percent of time sharing. I have never felt better and once again I was stress free.
Mr. Dorsey is Very professional and has many years of experience with a great rapport with the judges, prosecutors and other attorneys. He’s very firm, straightforward, and passionate about his work and clients. He is well known and well respected amongst his peers. His resume speaks for itself.
A big shout out to The Dorsey team. Susan and Heather. They are very hard working, detail oriented, & very professional. They truly care about people.
Stop shopping for attorneys based on price. Mr. Dorsey is the Best Bang for The Buck. He is my guy!!!!!!

I was arrested in March for DUI on a bicycle, Battery against a Law Enforcement Officer x 2, Resisting arrest with violence, Disorderly Intoxication, and some other charges added on to that. I was abusing alcohol to cope with personal issues and landed myself in serious trouble. I was pulled over initially for not having a bike light and acted like an animal with the police. I hired a Criminal Defense Lawyer in Jacksonville and was instructed to complete 50 hours of community service, court approved counseling, get character reference letters, go to DUI school, take the Victim Impact Panel with MADD, and write an apology letter. I was also released on ROR with a SCRAM ankle monitor for measuring alcohol, which I paid for weekly. Communication was limited with my initial attorney and I attributed it a lot to COVID-19, he wasn't working at his office etc. But the communication never picked up. Months passed, and everytime I would talk with his assistant she would just assure me that he is just "waiting on the prosecutor to get back to him" or "waiting on the Discovery". In November, almost 8 months after my arrest, I had a virtual court appearance with my then attorney. The judge was so perplexed as to why this was taking so long. My attorney at the time appeared disorganized and said he had just received my Discovery. After the virtual meeting he called me and said the state had offered me a deal of pleading guilty to DUI and everything else would be dropped. I said "How can you offer me this when you have not even reviewed my Discovery and said that there was still video evidence to be ordered that you have not even seen!" I hung up the phone and started to cry. I was angry and told my family that I am firing my lawyer and hiring a new one. This time, I did my research. I found Tori and felt pretty confident in giving her a call. This was the best decision I could have made. Immediately she answered the phone herself and consulted with me right then and there. She agreed to take on my case that day and the next day we met in person to go over everything (safely, masks worn of course). In 5 weeks she did what my lawyer couldn't have and never even would have accomplished in 8 months. She negotiated with the state and defended me and showed them the efforts that I have been making to better my life and abstain from alcohol. Last Thursday I had my case and I was charged with Disorderly Intoxication and Resisting Arrest. 6 months probation and 2 AA classes a week. No DUI. No Felonies. No year long probation. I could not believe it. The outcome was better than I ever would have imagined. Also that same day she got the court order to finally have my ankle SCRAM removed. I no longer have to pay $86/ week and do not have to hide my ankle anymore. She changed the course of my life. This could have been on my record for the rest of my life, my living options and career choices could have been negatively affected forever. I am so grateful for her representation. I highly recommend you seek her counsel for your criminal or civil case. She is educated, professional and experienced in the NE Florida legal world. Look no further- Tori will defend you to the best of her ability. Thank you so much.

I had 10 years of probation to do and was very doubtful that I could get off early because of a sex charge. After looking at everything, Tori knew that I had done everything right, that I was a very different person, and that if anyone had a chance at early termination it would be me. She had me get all the character references, documents on what I had done since being on probation, and proof that I was a different person. She walked me through the process and got it done!! She kept me updated on timeframes, the status of what was happening, and she was ALWAYS on my side. Thank you, Tori!!

My Daughter and I were unjustly accused of a crime that was never committed. Janet was the only attorney that would not only listen to what happened but took the case when others did not want to deal with it. She did her magic and got all charges dropped and have the records expunged. I will be forever grateful for her and her hardworking staff. The “victim” appreciate’s you too.

Needed legal help in a highly stressful situation/issue with restrictive appearance conflicts due to new family life. Never had to appear which was a true-life saver. Highly ideal law firm to hire to take care of any legal needs. Quick turn around on phone calls, quotes, or any questions. Doesn't call you unless absolutely has to. Remains in contact with updates. Took care of everything even though I've might've worried and was anxious. Took the away and made it hassle free/ worry free in the end. Hired. Wouldn't seek or use anyone else for any legal needs in the future. Very knowledgeable, responsiveness, hardworking and persevering.

My wife and I hired Darcy Galnor of Galnorr Shumard, P.A. We had an issue that required her assistance. Everything she said she would do, she did. She was quick, professional, and always on point. I can't say enough good things about her and her firm. I would not hesitate to hire her again if a situation were to present it self. She returned every call and every email in a timely manner. She was able to put our minds at ease and everything turned out exactly as she said it would.
Thank you , Ryan Carr

Hands down one of the best attorneys out there if not the best. She’s practically super woman. She helped my family so much through a difficult time. Darcy understood that what we were going through had turned our worlds upside down and she did everything she possibly could to help make it ride side up again. She was genuinely kind and took calls or texts late at night for questions or anything else that was needed.

I hired Darcy to represent me as a defense attorney. She was "all over it", she was responsive to my calls, texts and emails. She worked with me and the charge against me was dropped without me even having to appear at trial. I would highly recommend her. Here's a snippet of how things went. We planned our initial approach to my defense, Darcy showed up at Court for my initial hearing and found other details we were unaware of. She immediately scrapped our plan and modified it according to the new information. This lead to the charge being dropped at the next hearing.

Mr. Davis has saved my life not once but twice. I was first facing criminal charges that carried a sentence of 3 years min and I had never been in trouble for anything. He got me probation and then I violated that with two more charges and he got me much needed rehab. I appreciate him in every way, he is very honest and will let you know exactly what he can do and he never lied to me.

I recently had the privilege of working with Mr. Teddy Rivera and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the exceptional legal services provided. From the outset, Teddy Rivera demonstrated a level of professionalism and expertise that surpassed my expectations.
What impressed me most was Teddy Rivera 's attention to detail and commitment to ensuring that every aspect of my case was thoroughly examined and addressed. The clear and concise communication throughout the process helped alleviate any concerns I had, providing me with the confidence that I was in capable hands.
Mr. Teddy Rivera not only possesses an extensive knowledge of the law but also has a remarkable ability to convey complex legal concepts in a way that is easily understandable. This made the entire experience much more manageable and allowed me to make informed decisions about my case.
Beyond the technical aspects of the legal work, Mr. Teddy Rivera demonstrated genuine care and empathy. The personal touch and consideration for my specific needs and concerns set him apart from other professionals I have worked with in the past.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Teddy Rivera to anyone seeking legal assistance. He is not just a lawyer; he is a true advocate for his clients, dedicated to achieving the best possible outcomes. Thank you, Mr. Teddy Rivera , for your outstanding service and for making a challenging process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

I came to John Phillips office with little or no hope that I could prove my innocence or survive the alligations against me, I didn't think I would survive emotionally what myself and family were being put through. John along with Reid Hart listen to my story, they explained to me what they could do help me,and how they would go about helping me.My family and I felt so much better about my case and my chances of clearing my name after my conversation with John Phillips, and Ried Hart. I don't know if I would have ever gotten through this ordeal if a friend hadn't suggested that I go speak with John. Every motion they file every question they ask is all tied into getting to the truth,and giving you the best chance of victory I will never use another Law Firm other John Phillips Law firm for anything legal that might come up on my life again. Law firms like John Phillips and Lawyers like Reid Hart don't come like grapes in Bunches.

Very professional but compassionate. Efficient, prompt, dedicated, not just him but his entire team. After an experience with a previous attorney, Mr. Treece changed my perspective and it was a fabulous experience. And even though the time I was going through was not the best, Mr. Treece and his team made everything easier. They sincerely made me feel that for them, I was not just another case, but they took care of me in every detail, not only providing me with information but even beyond that, they gave me all the support.
Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Treece and your entire team, for all your support, integrity and professionalism (But the way, a judge was the one who recommended you to me, that says it all).
Muy profesional pero compasivo. Eficaz, rápido, dedicado, no sólo él sino todo su equipo. Después de una experiencia con un abogado anterior, el Sr. Treece cambió mi perspectiva y fue una experiencia fabulosa. Y aunque el momento por el que estaba pasando no era el mejor, el Sr. Treece y su equipo hicieron que todo fuera más fácil. Sinceramente me hicieron sentir que para ellos, yo no era un caso más, sino que me cuidaron en cada detalle, no sólo proporcionándome información sino incluso más allá, me dieron todo el apoyo.
Gracias Sr. y Sra. Treece y a todo su equipo, por todo su apoyo, integridad y profesionalidad (Por cierto, un juez fue quien me los recomendó, eso lo dice todo).

We were referred to this lawyer by a previous Duval county (Florida) judge after the separation of the unwed parents of a child with the indication that the mother might leave the state with the child and will not return. Florida law does not grant legal rights to an unwed father until paternity, time-sharing and shared responsibilities are established in court.
Overall, I am very satisfied with the result of this temporary hearing, giving credit to Debra and Thomas Treece. We are still waiting for the final hearing and hope that the Treece law team will continue to represent us fairly and honestly.
The Treece law team does not shoot for bashing the opposite party. From the beginning on, it was clear that they want a fair and honest outcome with no lies and only honesty. The reason to seek help was to fairly establish legal rights for the father and do all we can to benefit the child. The Treece law team maintained to fairly reach an agreement and asked for the continuation of the child's primary parent, which is tough to establish if it is the father who performed most parental responsibilities.
One "thing" I would like to mention is that I wish that the Treece law team would be more readily available when the father has an IMMEDIATE legal question, due to the mother using unfair tactics, lies and accusations that are unwarranted. I would love to at times receive a quick, brief legal advise right then and there, though acknowledge that we are not their only clients.
If you are looking for an aggressive lawyer to bash your opponent, keep looking. If you are looking for an aggressive FAIR lawyer, "fighting" for what is the honest truth and the best for the child, you found a calm legal team working for you.

Once my daughter received an order from the court, my daughter interviewed with many other attorneys. They would only allow her to talk with them. Upon meeting Mrs. Treece, I felt an immediate connection to her and Mr. Treece. In my opinion, they are like family to us. They are very approachable as well as professional. My daughter who is a new attorney herself knew this case needed experienced attorneys that would give her their best efforts. According to my daughter at trial, they did just that. Their entire staff has been amazing. I am very thankful for everything they have done and continue to do for my daughter and granddaughter!!!

Paul and Harry Shorstein helped me through a very difficult case pertaining to a Dui. I had been sleep driving due to a bad reaction to my sleep meds. Although this was a very unique case without much precedence they handled it very effectually They were able to have the DUI dropped to just Reckless driving with no guilty plea or conviction. The judge I had was one of the toughest in Florida so I was blessed to have Paul and Harry Shorstein in my "corner" . Paul and Harry treat you as if you were their only client. They respond to your questions quickly and completely. Their character, knowledge ,experience and attention to detail is second to none! You will not find a better team out there.

In August of 2016 I was served in a divorce proceeding. My first and last call was to Garrett Barket. From that first call until the filing of the final disposition in my divorce Garrett was extremely professional and very thorough in every aspect of the proceedings. I would recommend Garrett with a high degree of confidence to represent you and your interests in accordance with the law and in an effort to negotiate the best possible outcome.

In 2009, I went through a divorce after being married for 14 years to my high school sweetheart. I was devastated to find out that my husband was having an affair and that his mistress was moving from Boston to Jacksonville in less than 2 weeks. A friend of mine advised that I call her attorney, Garrett Barket, and I am so glad that I did!
From the moment I walked into the office, Garrett and his paralegal, Jan, did whatever they could to put me at ease. I think of them as the "dynamic duo." They knew that I was scared, devastated and had no idea what was going to happen to me or my kids. Garrett treated me with respect and was beyond caring. Jan was always available for questions and Garrett was always prompt to reply when I needed to be in touch with him. He knew the law and was honest about what could happen and did not give me any false expectations.
I met with several other "top" attorneys in town who were either not professional or treated me as if I was just a number. One of them even hinted that he would like to go on a date! When I met Garrett, I was impressed with his knowledge of the law and how respectful he was. He made me feel confident that he would defend my rights to the best of his abilities. My case turned out just like he had predicted and I couldn't be happier with the results. I was able to get alimony until my kids are 18 yrs of age and the child support I needed to provide them the same kind of lifestyle we were accustomed to. A divorce is devastating to a family, but when you have a reputable attorney on your side, it makes the process a little less daunting.
Garrett is definitely a top notch attorney and one of the most honest guys I know. I would recommend him to anyone I know that is looking for a wonderful attorney!

I am confused at the previous reviews, my experiences have only been positive. I originally hired Robert Fishback for an incident a few years ago for a traffic violation. All I had to pay was the ticket, I did not get points. A few years ago, I was pulled over after I had left a party and blew a .08 and was taken to jail. I didn't know who else to call ..and glad I did. He was able to contact a judge and I was let out within a few hours. I was looking at a DUI but thanks to Mr. Fishback,I got a lesser charge and eventually he had it expunged from my record all together. Most recently I was speeding and again, Mr. Fishback managed to get me no points on my license.

I did not know I could call an attorney from the Duval County Jail. I sat in there for 21 days. Not fun!
The first and second time I went to court, the prosecution gave wrong information to the judge. Because I confronted the prosecution, when she told the judge I had four DUI’s the judge did not like that at all. It was my first DUI. On the second court appearance the prosecution said I hit four vehicles. That was not true either. The judge, at that point asked the prosecution if it was possible if I had hit one car with all the passengers in the car. The judge was correct. At that time, he ordered some kind of investigation. I had wrecked into one car.
Mr. Fishback also told me from the beginning there were no guarantees my case would come out in my favor. There was no way he could promise that and if he had promised me he could win the case hands down I would have known immediately he would have been the wrong attorney to hire. I like and respect him for his honesty professionalism.
I really cannot accurately express my satisfaction for the way he handled my case in every aspect. He worked hard and he did great.
I met a lady the other day that said she needed a lawyer so I immediately gave her Mr. Fishback's telephone number and location. I will recommend Mr. Fishback every single time I know someone is in need of legal assistance.
Mr. Fishback will also send you a letter(s) as a follow-up with the disposition and other important information. He looks out for the best interest of his clients. I know one thing for sure, if I ever need legal assistance again I know whom to call.
Mr. Fishback saved me from a lot of heartache and many extra expenses that could have come from the DUI. I suggest not using a public defender.
Overall I couldn’t be more pleased with the way my case was handled by Mr. Fishback from his very first day and all the way through to completion.
Thank you, Robert for being in my corner! In my opinion you are the best.

Ms. Benjamin helped me get a DUI case dismissed. I had no idea of my rights and basically give up so much by thinking the arresting officer was my “friend”. I know in cases of wrongful stopping and even arresting without probable cause is a violation and may have been avoided had I known Ms. Benjamin before.
After reviewing my discovery, my below the limit blood alcohol levels and incorrect arresting procedures, my case was dismissed. I’m happy to have that part of my life behind me with.
Thank you Ms. Benjamin it was a long and scary ordeal faced with uncertainty, but your truthful and positive outlook gave me the confidence to live before the verdict and certainly enjoy the freedom of not having this unfortunate incident on my records.

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.
