Incredible same day service and multiple attempts to serve. Lesley and her 5 Star team stayed on it. Body cam footage, detailed reports for the court, and incredible tenacity. Absolutely can't recommend highly enough.
It took literal months to get this unwilling defendant served, 2 teams tried and failed before I found these awesome bruisers. 😎💪

The TCDG have been great in helping me with my case! Chase was straight forward about what to expect and that helped me prepare mentally about what was to come. Dominique and Kayla have been amazing at communicating to me what needed to be done throughout the process! I would recommend them to anyone!

He got my DUI case dismissed even after I got myself kicked off of pre-trial diversion. I still don’t know how he managed to do it but I’m so thankful for his help. I was going thru a very dark time in my life, but he really seemed to want the best for me and would check in just to ask about my mental health and sobriety every now and then. He gave me a couple of harsh lectures when I kept making things worse for myself and my case (and probably making his job much more difficult in the process) but it was all things that I definitely needed to hear and he never gave up on me. I highly recommend King Law and I’m so thankful I can finally start living my life again thanks to Michael King’s help.

I had a wonderful experience with Michael King he kept my expectations real and grounded, he never promised anything he couldn’t do but he never really gave up. He was patient with me even when it came to my payment plan, he worked with me knowing that I was having a hard time keeping up with the bill payments. He was available to talk even if it was more personal and not related to my case. He wanted to make sure that I was ok as a person rather than as a client. Even when I wasn’t dealing with Michael himself his staff was also very helpful and kept me in the loop just as much as he did. Overall I had greet experience with Micheal King, though I wish to never have to use him again he’ll be at the very top of my list in the event that I do need another lawyer.

Mr. King was both courteous and professional.
He was hired on behalf of a family member who had been charged with a Federal Offence. Resulting in a dismissal.
He was also hired on behalf of a family member who was charged with murder. Resulting in being found innocent by a jury of his peers.
Mr. King worked diligently in both cases and kept in communication.
I would highly recommend him for any criminal case.
He is definitely The GOAT of lawyers for me.

I am beyond impressed and fortunate to have come across Sanders Law Firm on Google. Ron is truly one-of-a-kind. He has provided my boyfriend and me with more advice than anyone else we spoke to regarding a child custody issue. Remarkably, Ron was the only lawyer who answered over 20 calls I made during a holiday weekend for an emergency.
Ron is thorough, concise, and very understanding. He offered a plethora of resources to help get us started in the right direction. I am confident that hiring Ron or his daughter for your case will significantly increase your chances of winning.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Ron. His great advice, willingness to help, and consistent follow-up make you feel like your case is his top priority. He is exceptionally dedicated, and I highly recommend Sanders Law Firm.

When you usually call a business and they do not answer and you hang up, they won’t callback unless you leave a voicemail. But Mr. Sanders did. He called me back and QUICK. He thoughtfully listened to my problem and gave me amazing FREE legal advice. The respect he gave me as a client was amazing to me. Definitely recommend him if you are in a situation where you would need legal help of knowing what to do about a field of situation you know nothing about.

If you are reading the reviews, more than likely you are wanting to know how good they are. Christina was court appointed to represent me in my cps case so I did the same and looked at these same reviews and did my own research. My experience with Christina at first, I felt like I was just another case and she didn't have time to hear me. Of course my world was turning upside down as I was all over the place, and told her all the details even the ones that didn't seem to matter to anyone but me. And it may seem like that but I realized that Christina is a Beast at what she does which makes her busy. If you feel like she doesn't hear you , she does but it might just be best to write her an email with all those points you want made and I promise she will read it and pick out the ones that really matter not to just your case but you as well. She is like that honest aunt you know you can count on lol.
Ps. TO CHRISTINA ,
EVER SINCE I HAD TO MEMORIZE "INVICTUS" FOR 8TH GRADE ENGLISH, IT HAS BEEN MY #1 FAV. WE REALLY ARE THE MASTERS OF OUR FATE BUT WHEN I WAS UNSURE OF MINE, I WAS ABLE TO STAY ON COURSE WITH MY BOYS BC OF YOU AND YOUR TEAM!!
WITH THE UTMOST GRATITUDE, THANK YOU ALL...

My name is Deric. I was personally not impressed by this firm. They say they will get back to you within 48 hours and that rarely happened. At one point I really needed to get in contact with Kaylee so I kept calling and calling and sending messages through the app for a few days with no response. When I finally got a hold of someone I was told she was on vacation. I just really wished someone would’ve let me know sooner. I know everyone deserves a vacation of course, but back when I was a manager at my job and had so many people that depended on me, I would always send out an email and change my voicemail so that it would say that I would be on vacation from this date to this date and to please contact a designated person while I’m gone. Also if you were to complain to them about anything, they would get angry or rude with you and talk down to you like you were an idiot and were always quick to let you know that you're always free to find another attorney after you’ve been paying them. I left a similar review previously on here while my case was still pending and Christina called me extremely upset and extremely rude and said she’s removing herself from my case and I need to find another attorney. Christina didn’t want my honest review of her law firm posted and pretty much forced me to delete the review. Instead of Christina calling me and asking what her firm could do better for me she called and threatened me instead. This is after I had already paid them a couple thousand dollars and she knew I couldn’t afford another attorney. So I agreed to take the review down. Christina and Kaylee are very condescending when they speak to you. I would not recommend this law firm to anyone for any reason.

I hired Chris for a custody case. He talked a good game, but when it came time for court, I may as well have represented myself. He did not even present my side of the story. Never rebutted any of the other side's contentions, nor their inaccurate narrative. "We'll just present the facts" he said. The other lawyer told their story, and we didn't. Proceed at your own risk. Makes me wonder if the other reviews are even real....

The start of the conversation, he came across as someone there to assist me, thru out the conversation he continued on that same high level. The end of the conversation the bar was still high. I felt at ease discussing my criminal issues with him, my son had recommended that I give him a call and Chris referred me to another Attorney that specializes in cases involving minors. Thank You Chris, if I ever need an attorney you will be my first choice

I hired Chris after I was not satisfied with the work my court appointed attorney was doing. Within a few weeks, Chris had a settlement offer from the court where my charge would be dismissed once I completed some community service and paid a fine. No other attorney has taken the time to listen to my side of the story. I would definitely recommend Chris.

Excellent attorney, down to earth. He went above and beyond. There were some things that were beyond his scope of practice , but he referred me to someone else that did an awesome job as well.

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.

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.

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.

- 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.
