DUI Heroes really lives up to their name! Every member of the team lead with compassion but were highly professional. They were detail oriented, commutative and organized.
Rachel Reich was my true hero! She was top notch!!! She is firm with defense. I could tell that she truly was looking out for my best interest. I LOVED how detailed she was as I never had to question what I needed to do and what was happening. She took the scariest part out of my situation which was the unknown.
The success of the team is definitely inspired by Jonathan Dichter, the founder. He is very compassionate and his calmness and kindness helped tremendously in the beginning. My family and I were highly anxious and scared and his demeanor helped calm that down so we could make a quality decision.
I also want to thank Lexi Bryon and Christopher Wong. They were on the team that helped me and I always appreciated their updates and friendliness.
I almost forgot. They give a deal to get your breathalyzer at Lifesafer so you can save some money. This is not a cheap experience so every savings is valuable.
What mattered to me most is that they NEVER made me feel ashamed. They actually said they were proud of my accomplishments in recovery (which I entered after my DUI). I was not in a good place and this was very much needed to help me recover.
From every morsal of my heart - Thank you all!!

Brandon is passionate about law and a true professional. He handled my case amazingly. Definitely a 5 star lawyer.

12 Aug, 2024 by Anonymous
Last year, I found myself in legal trouble due to a poor decision and unchecked mental health issues. Initially, I faced felony charges in superior court, and in a panic, I contacted multiple attorneys. What stood out about Brandon was that he took the time to review my case without pressuring me to hire him, offering an honest consultation on what he thought would happen. Other attorneys were more focused on securing my business, with one even suggesting I might face a lengthy prison term if I didn't hire them immediately.
Fortunately, the County dropped the felony charge, but then the city filed charges. I reached out to Brandon, who agreed to represent me. Understanding my financial situation, he reduced his fees and offered a manageable payment plan. We also agreed that I should seek treatment for my mental health, and Brandon worked tirelessly with the court system to find a solution that accommodated both my needs and the court's requirements.
Though the process took some time, Brandon successfully argued for a full dismissal, despite the court's initial hesitation. The city did not object, largely due to Brandon’s strong argument. I am deeply grateful to Brandon for making this experience as stress-free as possible. Even when I experienced panic attacks and anxiety before the hearing, Brandon reassured me with his confidence and competence.
For anyone in a similar situation, I highly recommend Brandon. He takes the time to understand your case and will fight for you.

So I had gotten into a query with a big company trying to take thousands of dollars from me, I knew it wasn't right from what I had done previously to take care of this, I got a 30 minute consultation from Brandon (probably was longer) and it saved me those thousands of dollars, he was able to reasure me on the steps I took were right, able to tell me what to ask the people for quality information and point me in the right direction which led to alot of money saved. Thank you Brandon, this guy knows what he's doing!

Lucas not only helped to lower a speeding infraction to a non moving violation, he was also able to get the fine lowered for me. I was very impressed with the communication from both himself and his Legal Assistant. I highly recommend his law office and will refer him to others.

Prairie and her team were amazing! Their follow up and follow through is unlike anything I’ve ever experience across the board in the professional world. Literally did everything they said they would, and then continued to help beyond that going way above and beyond what was promised. The results of their efforts was the best it could be and surpassed all my expectations. I couldn’t possibly recommend her more enthusiastically.

From the first consultation, and throughout the entire process, Prairie was amazing. I had never been faced with a fish and wildlife infraction and her professionalism helped make a daunting situation feel manageable; she answered all of my questions and created a game plan. In the end, rather than being charged with two gross misdemeanors, Prairie was able to have one charge reduced to a ticket and the other was completely dismissed. I highly recommend the entire team at Lance Fryrear; every person I interacted with was professional, courteous, and informative. Thank you, Prairie, you truly are a life saver.

I worked with the Office of Lance Fryrear and had the good fortune of working with Prairie on two cases for over a year. From the beginning, Lance was the only attorney who reached out via Zoom, in times of COVID, which added a personal touch during a time of my personal crisis.
During my time working with Prairie, not only was she proactive, but she was also extremely effective in her approach. Through Prairie's hard work and tactful approach, we were able to reach a very favorable outcome on both of those cases. I am very happy with Prairie's work, but even more than that, I was thoroughly impressed with her communication skills. Prairie was excellent in providing me with the necessary steps to put myself in the best situation possible, and she was able to answer all of my questions clearly whenever needed.
I am so thankful for Prairie and the Office of Lance Fryrear and I would highly recommend her to anyone needing an attorney during a difficult time. Their team is professional, effective, and above all else, I remember how compassionate they were in a trying time.

I would like to thank Patrick for his hard work and dedication to my child. To protect a youth from another youth is not an easy task. From our 1st meeting and through all the court appointments, Patrick proves he cares for his clients well being. He has been very honest and upfront with all information and has provided outstanding service. I'm very happy with the outcome of our case. I appreciate all that he and his staff have done for us.

I was referred to Mr. Lee through a lawyer referral service. After describing my case to him over the phone, which I took to be my initial (free) half hour consultation, he invited me to meet with him at his office to discuss my legal situation in more detail. I did so and went into depth with him about a civil action the State was taking against me along with related potential criminal charges from the County Prosecutor. Mr. Lee spent over two and a half hours studying my documents, asking case related questions of me while answering my own for him. He provided me with good legal advice and helpful information while demonstrating genuine interest in my personal outlook as well as the health and wellbeing of my family members, given our unusually demanding living situation. To my amazement, Mr. Lee charged me nothing for his time but simply stated that he’d take my case if I should eventually face charges.
In short, Mr. Lee impressed me as being a knowledgeable and experienced attorney who truly cares about his clients.

John is by far the best defensive lawyer with excellent rates and knowledge. If you have been convicted of a crime, call John first! I have tried several other lawyers in the past and feel confident with john knowing he really does care and is well respected in the WA State Court systems...

I doubt you can do much better than John. He was brought in as additional counsel on my DUI case to excellent effect. My case, which was fairly grim at the outset, was dimissed today under Mr. Rodabaugh's defense. Not only does he have the inside track from his years as a prosecutor, he also demonstrates keen attention to detail, sharp instincts and fearlessness in the courtroom. I am deeply grateful to him for preserving my freedoms, and for being sincere and approachable.

TLDR: they are great but be patient!
I had an accident last July and I was stressing because it was my first accident ever. I had no idea what to do next, so my chiropractor (additional shout out to Core!) had recommended Jeremiah & Kevin to me and I am so grateful!
The entire process was explained to me and they were patient with me as I decided whether or not to be represented for the accident. Whenever I had questions, they were available to answer them. I will admit that I DID get a bit impatient as I was waiting, but I was reassured that they were working to get the best outcome for my case - even with me pestering constantly.
In addition, Rosa helped me so much by keeping me updated as much as she could. Highly recommend!

I retained Kimberly McAvoy after I used an attorney referral service in Washington State. I live out of state but had legal problems when I lived in Washington almost 40 years ago. My case was not difficult but only had two other attorneys reach out to me after about a week, Kimberly contacted me within one day and although she was slightly more expensive I was impressed with her quick response and professionalism. She was very patient and fully explained the process so it was easy to understand. Throughout the entire process I was kept updated regularly and the outcome was exactly as she predicted. I'm happy to recommend Kimberly McAvoy Law to anyone requiring quality legal representation. Thank you, signed Michael Noud.

I highly recommend Kim McAvoy. I came to her with a 4th degree domestic violence conviction and my firearms rights restricted. Being a USMC veteran (and a hunter), this was very disheartening to me. Kim knew exactly how to navigate the legal hurdles to get the conviction vacated and ultimately have my firearms rights completely restored. If you are facing a similar situation, you want her in your corner. I highly recommend Kim McAvoy and McAvoy Law. I could not have done it without her and I can't thank her enough!

When I first decided to file for divorce I had so many questions. Every lawyer I talked to and consulted with always seemed to beat around the bush with all my questions. When I set up an appointment with Mr. Feldman, all of my questions were answered and a plan was set in place on what to do regarding my divorce.
Once the process of my divorce started, I was always kept informed of what was going on and what we were going to do. ALL of my questions were always answered in a timely manner and I was able to finally breathe knowing that I had someone guiding me all the way through. If it wasn't for Mr. Feldman, I wouldn't have gotten everything that I asked for in my divorce, most importantly I got custody of my daughter. I have nothing but great things to say about Mr. Feldman and his law firm. I will recommend him to my family and friends and will continue to use him if needed in the future! Thank you isn't enough for all the hard work Mr. Feldman has done for me and my daughter!!

Front desk lady is a pain and quite rude. You can leave as many voicemails as you want & you better hope they return your call. Bruce was my attorney and without any reason or cause appointed me to another attorney. Quite frankly he is very egotistical. While I was in court he was getting frustrated at the judge and had the audacity to laugh at her when she opposed his opinion. I was embarrassed and ashamed to have him represent me. DO NOT HAVE THEM REPRESENT YOU!!!!. You’re better off finding another public defender. They are just a bunch of over worked under pained attorneys. If the front desk lady doesn’t seem to like working there imagine how the attorneys feel.

Front desk lady is a pain and quite rude. You can leave as many voicemails as you want & you better hope they return your call. Bruce was my attorney and without any reason or cause appointed me to another attorney. Quite frankly he is very egotistical. While I was in court he was getting frustrated at the judge and had the audacity to laugh at her when she opposed his opinion. I was embarrassed and ashamed to have him represent me. DO NOT HAVE THEM REPRESENT YOU!!!!. You’re better off finding another public defender. They are just a bunch of over worked under pained attorneys. If the front desk lady doesn’t seem to like working there imagine how the attorneys feel.

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.
