My husband and I, along with our son are absolutely positive that we selected the best attorney to represent and help our son! Mr. Holt met with us and gave meaningful explanations. He gave us clear directions. His paralegal, Angela is so thoughtful, kind and helpful! We feel she went above and beyond her duties, making us feel cared for and valued. Not once did we feel apprehensive about the kind of service they BOTH provided. Mr. Holt is a “straight shooter”. No jargon or confusion. We felt at ease and knew we could trust Mr. Holt. Angela was so helpful and kind. Both were extremely competent in their work and demonstrated their commitment to us! Our son now has a great burden lifted from him and can move on with his life, thanks to Mr. Holt’s and Angela’s help.

Having no experience with legal issues before, I was completely lost when I was arrested for DUI out of state. Luckily, Winnie met me at the door and within minutes had the ball rolling. Receiving a DUI from a different state as a WA resident adds an extra level of difficulty as you get to deal with two DOL's instead of just one. They were able to have my suspensions run concurrently which saved me about 6 months of time and expenses. I highly recommend them.

I had the privilege of observing Mr. White’s work firsthand, and I can confidently say that he is an exceptional professional. Navigating legal matters and communicating with attorneys can often be stressful, especially when you’re struggling to get in touch with your lawyer. However, with Mr. Whitehandling your case, you can rest assured that you’re in capable hands. He is not only highly skilled but also deeply passionate and compassionate about his clients’ well-being. Mr. White goes above and beyond to protect his clients’ best interests, and what sets him apart is that he cares. His genuine belief in the potential of others and their ability to turn their lives around is refreshing. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. White—he truly is a remarkable advocate and a blessing to those he represents.

JOHN WAS THE HARDEST WORKING PERSON I EVER MET. HIS WORK ETHIC AND COMMUNITION WITH ME DURING MY CASE WAS AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE. HE WAS SO OUT THE BOX WITH ALOT OF HIS IDEAS. I WAS VERY PLEASED ON HOW OFTEN HE WAS THINKING OF MY CASE SPECIFICALLY. JOHN WAS EXTREMELY GOOD AT COMMUNICATING WITH ME OFTEN. HE KEPT ME UP TO DATE, EVEN IF THERE WERE MANY MONTHS BETWEEN COURT DATES. JOHN IS KNOWN AND WELL RESPECTED IN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM. WHEN HE WAS IN FRONT OF THE JUDGE, HE WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND YOU COULD TELL HE HAS HAD MANY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN THE COURT ROOM. I WAS INNOCENT ON MY CHARGES AND HE BELIEVED ME FROM THE START. ALTHOUGH IT TOOK SOME TIME, MY CASE ENDED EXACTLY HOW IT SHOULD HAVE. FULL DISMISSAL OF ALL CHARGES. I CREDIT ALOT OF THAT DUE TO JOHN'S HARD WORK AND EXPERIENCE AS A FORMER CHIEF PROSECUTOR. I WOULD RECOMMEND USING JOHN WHEN YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO LOOSE !!!!!

He is extremely professional, knowledgable and on top of things when it comes to getting back to you and responding to questions. He has a very honest, down to earth, layed back demeanor (perfect in a stressful situation) and Most of all he is not money hungry, he doesnt up the price for this or that, when he says Thats the price then THATS IT and he sees it through til the very end. He is a perfect example of what a great attorney is. He is easy to get a hold of and keeps you updated on the status of your case throughout the whole process. Thank you John for all your assistance!

Was referred to Ms. Chang by another attorney and that was great advice due to her knowing how to work with the opposing party. Throughout my case it showed she worked hard and cared about doing her best to make the best case on my behalf; She always kept me informed of what I needed to do on my part too. The outcome of the case was ruled in my favor but even if it was different I never thought she didn't do enough because she was very thorough in her work.

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.
