I was referred to Mr.Rosati by a friend of mine that handled a divorce case that also had wrongly accused domestic violence. Needless to say, my friend through his attorney prevailed. When I needed legal advice about pursuing a contempt matter, I meet with this same attorney and I'm very happy that I hired him. I was assured he'd help me, he did. I was assured that I'd get updates, I did. I was quoted a reasonable fee and it was well worth all the work and joyous outcome in a bad situation.

Anthony is a great, young, charismatic criminal attorney that represented me on several matters in Duval County. His office is one of the few that always takes collect calls, making him very accessible. He did what he said and negotiated me a decent deal, but was willing to fight if need be. He was willing to go the extra mile for me, more than once, even assisting me when I didn't formally hire him.

Mr. Breedlove came recommended by another attorney since my case had to be handled out of State. I am much obliged to him for being sincere and honest in his original assessment of my case. As a great lawyer should, he told me the various scenarios that he expected to happen but made sure not advise that any one scenario was sure to come to fruition.
He called me a day prior to representing me in court, upon leaving the court to divulge the details of the hearing, and also after speaking to the prosecutor the following week to resolve my case.
I could not be happier with his professionalism and honesty. To boot, he discovered that he was acquainted with the prosecutor. If you should need a lawyer, R. Baker Breedlove is an excellent choice. I remain much obliged to him.

From the beginning he displayed excellent traits. The time he took to ascertain the facts relating to the case indicated to me his determination to obtain the truth without predjudice. He was very articulate when he explained the pros and cons of procedural approach to the case. He also took time to advise on behavior (Including discussing facts relating to the case with persons unrelated to the case), and even mode of dress that could jeopardize credible facts.
I was particularly impressed however with his passion for obtaining the truth, and allowing justice to prevail.

I have retained Mr. Johnson for several matters over the past 5 years. I have found both he and Chelsea, his secretary, to be professional and courteous. I have never been charged more than $50.00 for a consultation fee and he has always applied that amount to his fees when handling my cases. When I consulted him regarding a possible bankruptcy filing, the consultation was FREE and he spent over an hour explaining why I would be better off paying off my debts than filing a case. When he handled an estate matter for me, he treated everyone in our family with kindness. He has always been prompt in answering my questions. He has represented my interests with utmost professionalism. I trust this excellent attorney with any legal matter that may arise. In a town as small as Jesup, I am grateful to have found his sound legal counsel.

Mr. Rover gave me a new a lease on life. Above all, he made me feel important, because I am. He believed in me. He valued my life. He made me feel like more than just another assignment given to him. He was always focused, professional, polite, passionate and caring. He is a very skilled attorney who cares about his job and his clients. I would recommend Mr. Rover over and over again, to anyone who needs an attorney. He won my case and changed my life for the better. He is the best that the legal world, and our world in general, has to offer.

I am a highly experienced appellate attorney (over 300 Florida cases) who has never met Ms. Young. She is, however, the trial attorney in a case I am working on. In reviewing her pretrial motions and her transcribed arguments before the judge, I am mightily impressed. She stands out from the vast majority of public defenders. She is well-prepared on the facts and law and she puts up more of a vigorous fight than many attorneys. She probably preserves far more issues for appeal, too. Her clients are lucky to have her.

Julie A. Schlax - 10
I am writing this to express my Immense gratitude and respect for Ms. Julie Schlax, Attorney at Law.
Thanks to God for Mrs. Julie A. Schlax, who took over our case after it had been horribly neglected, misrepresented and destroyed by a pathetic and unethical individual practicing law in Jacksonville, Florida. My son spent 40 days in Duval County Jail before Julie quickly reviewed the information, understood our case and immediately moved to action to stop the deadly spiral our family was thrown into by a series of mean spirited people and circumstances. She worked relentlessly to reduce the unfair 14 felonies charges (one felony charge for each non-threatening email) to 3 misdemeanors for violation of injunction.
Our family is in awe of Julie’s abilities and forever grateful for her kindness and care during this most difficult period in our lives.

About 6 months ago, I made a really bad decision. I was arrested, and all of a sudden was facing prison time and mandatory designation as a sex offender. Thank God I hired Julie Schlax. Not only did I not serve a day in jail, I do not have to register. She never judged me and answered all my questions. I hope I never need her again, but I would definitely go back if I did.

I hired Mr. Webber after I was charged with a minor traffic misdemeanor which also turned into a capius warrant. As I had special circumstances, a guilty charge could have cost me a career working with the government. The Public defender never responded to any of my calls and not only could I have been arrested but I would have suffered life-long effects in my career over a minor traffic issue. Mr. Webber took my case and he did not sugar coat anything and laid everything on the table. But HE REPRESENTED ME and in no time, my case was dismissed! I am so grateful!

This was a battery case and after doing a bunch of research and making calls for days decided to go in and meet with Troy. What I found was and attorney that tells you the truth (Not just what you want to hear). He doesn't promise you the stars, but works like a star giving 110 percent. The law firm treats you like family, which you hardly ever find anymore. I've never ever dealt with a law firm that doesn't try to take every dime you have until meeting Troy, he gives you a price and explains everything to you and doesn't nickel and dime you to death. I promise you wont need to sell everything you own to retain him, but his efforts and results will be as if you did. Thank you Webber and Hussein for being there to help and average person like myself.

At a big public festival, I was arrested by a Jax Beach officer merely for offering to register anyone interested in voting, and charged with trespassing and resisting arrest (basically for telling the cop to F-off). Troy filed two motions to dismiss. The state attorney and the cop lied out their pie holes to defeat the first one. But his second one, based upon his research of obscure city ordinances, won the day. I HIGHLY recommend Troy to anyone seeking criminal defense.

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.
