Natalia was the epitome of what an excellent lawyer is. She was polite, professional and caring every step of the way. She answered all emails in a prompt manner and always took the time to talk to me if I was in the office even if it was only her paralegal assistant that needed to see me that day.

I met with Natalia when I knew it was time to get legal advice regarding custody and a review of the parenting plan that was in place when my ex was threatening to take me to court. Natalia was warm, reassuring, and drew me a very clear picture of the legal path ahead. I walked away feeling confident and certain that I was in good hands if I needed her to move forward with my case.

Ms. Scott was able to meet with us quickly in a time sensitive matter and made sure we were able to clear up the situation and get more than we expected in an agreement before we had to go before a judge. Highly recommend her.

If you're reading this review, you are considering calling or using Alec Weber as your attorney. Chances are, it's because you are looking to hire someone to resolve a personal, family issue. You HAVE to call Alec immediately. Most of the time, this stuff is emotionally and financially stressful and it physically effects you. The first time I spoke with Alec, I got off the phone and felt 100 times better. That night I was actually able to sleep. The reason is because he was honest and educating, but allowed me to make the ultimate decision on how we were going to proceed. For the most part, we followed his exact guidance but when I was adamant on taking a slightly different route for one of the issues, he never judged and simply advised on a new way to proceed to protect me. He is incredibly down to earth and understanding. As busy as he is, he ALWAYS returned e-mails within a reasonable time and took phone calls when it was timely or important. For an emergency I had, he was able to resolve the urgent issue before it became a bigger problem.
The other thing is lawyers can be expensive. And depending on what you need done, your bill can skyrocket. The thing I liked most about Alec is he always offered timely solutions. He NEVER did useless work and overcharged me and was always up front with the time that was going to be needed to resolve my issues.
The office is beautiful, the service was great, and the advice and execution on his end was flawless. As I have used different family attorneys for different issues, I wish I found Alec first. I cannot stress enough how one phone call to him took away all of my anxiety. He is truly the best all around lawyer out there and successfully helped solve all of my problems. I sleep easy knowing that if I ever run into a future issue, he will be on hand with my absolute best interest.

Mr. Wallsh handled both a criminal and civil domestic case for me. It was a long drawn out process because of the dishonesty of the opposing party, but Mr. Wallsh was alway patient and honest and gave me exceptional advice. In the end both cases were resolved to my satisfaction and the opposition was not able to get away with their grand scheme. Mr. Wallsh was amazing in court. I highly recommend him.

Many thanks to Attorney Giovanni Diez and Janis Alvarez, legal assistant, for all their help in pursuing and finalising our home insurance claim. They were both very professional, responsive whenever I contacted them and knowledgeable about home insurance claim processes. Giovanni went out of his way to ensure I had any assistance I needed. He was positive, kind and empathetic about any concerns in dealing with the insurance company and came up with creative solutions to challenges along the way. He was careful to ensure that I was informed about any issues that were important for me to be aware of, and very patient in answering my many questions.

One of the best attorneys you can hire if you’re in trouble or if one of your children or grandchildren needs help. This is the man
To see.
Honesty, integrity, and experience that’s what you get when you hire Brandon.

His patient and ability to interact with both law-enforcement and the state attorneys office is second to none.

I've been a client of Jonathan's for about three months at this point. He's been nothing but courteous, professional, and accessible. He'll communicate with you directly, with no assistant to go through first. He has followed through with everything he promised since the day I retained him. If you're facing dark times and the state is coming for blood, you can trust him.

If I could give the Troum law firm more than 5 STARS I would (I’d give them 10 STARS). The team including (Mark and Julie) were empathetic to my specific situation, always made me aware of all options available to me and helped ease all of my apprehension of the unknown.
Julie is a God send !!! She is the one who made me feel comfortable to hire the Troum law firm from the beginning. She was patient, thorough, detailed, understanding and always so empathetic to my feelings. In the beginning of my divorce I had no idea what to expect and Julie continued to walk me through it with no hesitation. Now looking back it was the best decision I made to have her and Mark on my team.
Mark is the sharpest, smartest and most knowledgeable lawyer. He was always personable , readily available, tactful, patient and his demeanor always put me at ease that I would get through any situation seamlessly. He was so patient in his approach and I never felt rushed or like a number. His years of experience helped in every situation because he was able to anticipate every outcome.
If you’re debating on a law firm look no further these are not only team of experts but they treat you like a human being and specifically tailor to your situation. The Troum Law Firm saved me and changed my life for the better and I will be forever grateful to Mark, Julie and team. This team gave me the strength and confidence I needed to tackle my situation head on. Choose them they’re worth every penny I promise.

Terrible service. The "manager" hated that I needed multiple options for dates (I'm sorry I have to work and don't have endless availability). As soon as I was able to pick a date and time where the lawyer and I were available, I booked it however due to an emergency, I asked to be rescheduled after I sort out the emergency. Reschedule, not cancel. You would've thought I insulted her. She then told me to use another attorney because of so much back and forth on the dates among other things. When you have more than 1 person with busy schedules, it comes with the territory that back and forth. Needless to say, I will not be using them for anything at all.

Mr. Dorst assisted me with a lease I was forced to break due to my concern for my safety as many of my belongings were beig broken and stolen and I felt very threatened. The leases was with student housing near UCF. He wrote a detailed letter of my concerns and reasons for breaking the lease along with an explanation of their lack of enforcing rules necessary to maintain my feeling of safety and security at the complex.
They still sent me a letter for the debt but that debt has not reported negatively on my credit report which I am very thankful for. Mr. Dorst was recommended to me by a friend and was very attentive and compassionate. He didn't care that this was not a big money making case and took care of my issues, making me feel like a very appreciated client.

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.
