I hired Heidi in 2020 based off of a recommendation and referral from a good friend. As a woman I feel comfortable with Heidi from the start because it's always easier to discuss domestic problems with someone you can relate to. My ex was working cash jobs so consistently thought it was hard to prove income yet Heidi was able to impute income at a higher degree than what I figure any other attorney would have been able to obtain. Every step of the way was explained, and she also lets you make choices of your choosing which makes you feel like you have a say in a legal battle. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a strong, knowledable attorney with a Compassionate Heart.

I was represented by Heidi during my divorce and through the hardest and most painful time in my life. Heidi and her assistants always helped me to feel strong and safe in their hands. I do not think I could’ve done it without their help. Heidi listened to all my concerns and understood exactly what I wanted for myself, my son and coparenting. She informed me of all my rights and all my entitlements. My divorce was fast and seamless, exactly how I wanted it. My ex husband and I now have peace between us and are doing really well at co-parenting together. She was always there to listen and I never had to wait long for a phone call back or email back even on days when she was very busy. If she couldn’t get to me I’d always receive an email by the end of the day. She helped me through so many emotions and fears that divorce brings and is truly a professional but also cares about her clients. I would definitely trust Heidi with any future legal needs I may need.

Horrible! As his clients he never returned my phone calls and I had to hired another lawyer to get in touch with him for my divorced paper . He doesn’t answer my phone calls and called me to requested rest of the payment and he received the rest of the money and he still haven’t gotten back to me even in his own client. I would never recommend him to someone . I’m wondering all this good reviews it might be people he pay too or he asked friend to leave good review, because on my side bad experience and I still waiting for him to answer me or call me as his client.
Very disappointed! Thank you

I'm a former member of the NYPD and I was charged with serious felony charges. Ms. Eves was incredibly honest about my chance at trial and used her previous experience as an Assistant District Attorney to project how the ADA was going to present their case. She told me the law, presented me with copies and told me her experience with the judge, who had his own view about suppression and admissibility. When I decided to take a plea, she negotiated very hard for me. Few attorneys are honest with clients. My prior attorney stroked me, telling me what everyone wants to hear. Ms. Eves tells it like it is. I recommend her to my former colleagues and friends.

Thanks to her fine trial skills, my ex wife learned that the criminal justice system isn't a place to make up stories and lies. Eves put on a terrific defense case. The acquittal took 10 minutes.

Stacey Eve is defense lawyer for my son and is by far the worst defense attorney I have ever had to experiences. Her law practicing skills on defending my son is to wait and use what the ADA evidence that can be handed over at his leisure. As the only way to defend my son. I didn't agree with this method being a retired police officer went out and found the evidence needed for full defense handing it over to Mrs Eves for her not to use it in pretrial hearing this case could have been clearly tossed or at the very least evidence suppressed. She actually refuse to use case laws, lied that witness were not necessary had to be made to speak to witness never went over the evidence given to her by the me or ADA never spoke to my son in detail what was going on with his case no strategies never fought a deal it's was what ever the ADA offered,refuse to give him discovery packages until a week before pretrial hearing and so much more. The public defender had my son a deal on the table for 7 yrs Stacey Eves take over at 7500$ fee and the deal on the table now is my sons facing 15yr no deal something's wrong you think.

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.
