First, let me say this.....I wish I could give Attorney Matthew 10 stars. I have retained legal assistance several times in my life and by far Matthew Enslein is the real deal. From the very beginning to the end of my case Matthew was on top of my case. He returns calls and emails so quickly I felt like I was his only client. He was easy to talk to, very relatable and showed concern for my case. He even returned one of my calls while he was on vacation out of the country with his family....Who does that? I will use Matthew for all of my legal matters moving forward.

A few months ago I called multiple attorneys in Georgia. On the fence about paying for an attorney instead of going with a court-appointed. Until I spoke with Thomas. From the first time we spoke until everything was done Thomas kept me very informed and explained everything in detail. Not only did the whole situation play out exactly the way he said it would he worked with me and saved me a lot of stress. I would've had to make a few trips to Georgia but Thomas took care of everything. I would definitely recommend him and his law firm. I can't forget about the girls in the office they're awesome too, big thank you to all of you!!!

Thomas and his staff were very helpful through this lengthy process. They answered every question I had and helped me understand how the process works. I don't think things would've gone any better with any other attorney.

Rob Schnatmeier, is the real deal. His professional background is very essential in figuring out the best possible defense for your situation. All you have to do is pray and let Rob do the footwork. He turned a messy situation around for me and I can forever be grateful for that. I needed a criminal defense lawyer and he was the perfect fit. And if he turned around that situation in “COBB COUNTY” of all places then I know for any services rendered he’ll dominate with a level of professionalism that you’ll be glad to spend money on. His paralegal Brittani will keep you informed and will always answer call or text. They will not leave you wondering. Personal injury, DUI, or whatever I would most definitely call this firm. I would give the 1000 stars but can only give 5. I appreciate the hard work from you guys from the bottom of my heart❤️

I have dealt with attorneys in the past and he by far exceeded my expectations. The best of the best!

David was a real pleasure to work with during a difficult time for me after a bad decision. No judgement from him, just a "Get to Work on this" attitude.
David kept me updated as often as needed and also was kind enough to hear me out at any time regarding my case.
I was very pleased with his service and his follow up to make sure things progressed as we expected.
Even though my case required a little extra work, David never let me down and we had a good result.
Highly recommended!

I was being unjustly sued by my HOA and called Atty Wyatt for representation. He patiently listened to details of the case, asked pertinent questions over the phone. His amazing receptionist quickly scheduled an appt. and Atty Wyatt refused to charge me. I could have paid him personally and I also had membership in a corporate legal plan and again, he refused to charge me a dime. Atty Wyatt gave excellent advice, composed a response to the HOA's claims and it was filed the same day! The services and time that Atty Wyatt provided would have easily been billed at $4000 or more at a firm that would have done 1/3 of the work that he did. He did not know me from Eve and is the absolute nicest and most jovial attorney I've ever met! I'm happy to report that the case was DISMISSED due to the kindness and exemplary legal advice of Atty Justin Wyatt! Thank you for stellar advice!

When you are in financial distress and physical pain it is difficult to think clearly and make good decisions . That, in addition to not understanding a legal process complicates matters even more. Justin explained the law, outlined in clear language the steps in the process that where needed to be done. He was reassuring, articulate, knowable and effective. Justin and his amazing team made the process so much easier and gave me peace of mind in a stressful but successful outcome. Justin was selected on recommendation from a trusted friend and Attorney it was some of the "Best" advice I have ever received.

We hired Justin for a highly contentious case. Over the course of three very long years, he listened and used his high energy approach to help us get to a place where we won. He worked to give us realistic advice, but when the right opportunities came during the case he jumped on them. We had a good relationship with Justin and have recommended him to others. We will likely never need his services again, but if the need does arise for some reason, we will be calling him.

I highly recommend Robert Hyden. I was emotional, lost and down on my luck after being arrested for DUI. Robert assured me that my negative/doubtful perception surrounding it was temporary. Upon first meeting him, I felt an overwhelming sense of relief. He explained the importance of recognizing what happened and taking action for moving forward. I knew at that moment I was not in this situation alone. My DUI charge resulted in a favorable and desirable outcome. If you’re ready to put the past behind you and start working to preserve your future, call Robert today. Do not wait!

Attorney Goldberg was amazing and one of the best lawyers I could ever find. He truly went beyond to help me resolve my case successfully, he did everything he could by going the extra mile to communicate with the prosecutor to get my case resolved without having a hearing. Throughout the process, he kept me updated and discussed all the steps necessary to achieve the outcome that I’d expected. I’d highly recommend Attorney Goldberg to anybody for his great work and dedication!

Mr. Goldberg was successful in my case, & in fact brought me the best possible outcome on two occasions. He is extremely knowledgeable, was thorough in his work on my cases, & is someone I have no hesitation recommending you hire. He also remained in communication with me throughout the process. He expertly instructed & prepared me, regarding whatever was in my best interests to accomplish. I appreciate his desire, & following through, to fully advocate for me as his client.

Bill is AMAZING at what he does. I was involved in a t-bone car crash that left me with a fractured leg. He fought with the other driver's insurance company and got me highest pay out they offered for my bodily injury. He also diligently negotiated a fair price to take care of the pending medical bills, which were lowered by 60%. He always kepted me updated on the status of the case and made himself available if I had questions or concerns. Bill is down to earth, and knows how to make someone smile in there time of need! Highly recommended!!!! He is my lawyer for life!

I hired Muneer to handle a double felony drug & weapons charge for my 23yr old son. Muneer told me exactly what he would be able to do prior to taking the case. Muneer was able to get my son into a program, all charges dismissed, and my son walked away with no criminal record. Muneer also allowed us to pay our retainer fee on a payment plan and due to him closing the case early he allowed us to keep the final $1000 payment.
I 100% stand by his representation and I am extremely thankful for his services!

Mr. Zimmerman goes above and beyond when he takes a case. He helped me when I was accused of sexual exploitation over the internet. He doesn’t judge and just deals with the facts. He’s very responsive and works very hard to win your case, while keeping you updated throughout the process. He is very knowledgeable about dealing with sex crimes. He was able to get me the best possible outcome in my situation. I highly recommend him.
It’s easy to feel like there’s nowhere to turn when you’re accused of sexual crimes, like the whole world is against you, but don’t give up. Mr Zimmerman and his team can help.

Promptly secured bond to release our child from jail. Provided expert guidance about next steps and potential outcomes. Wisely recommended appropriate counseling and safe guards during the 'probationary' period. Adeptly navigated the legal process and effectively engaged with the district attorney on behalf of our child. Ultimately, secured a dismissal of all charges. We were/are thrilled with how Lawrence handled our case. And highly recommend him to anyone in need of such representation!

I’m not a repeat offender or an experienced criminal, so when I heard that there may be an arrest warrant issued in my name, I quickly panicked. I wasn't familiar with the arresting process and pictures from bad cop dramas filled my head. However, I called Carlos, and he calmly explained what I could expect and immediately researched my specific issue. Talking to Carlos was like talking to a calm friend – a really smart, calm friend. After looking into my situation, he presented options and we quickly came to a solution. Should I ever be in this situation again – and I hope I’m not – I will immediately call Carlos. He’s the gold standard.

Carlos Rodriguez did a wonderful job on my case, which was dismissed. Carlos was proactive, responsive, and very conscientious. He did a great job of obtaining all of the relevant evidence and then giving good advice on the best course of action. Carlos also went beyond the scope of his duties to rectify issues outside of the legal system caused by the false accusations made against me. His fee was reasonable and he never tried to "nickle and dime" me. I would strongly recommend hiring Carlos.

But he would not sell me out and he would fight for my rights all the way. And he won both cases for me and i would not be a free man now if it wasn’t for David west. Thank you again David. You are by far the best lawyer I ever hired. And if I ever need a high powered attorney again I sure hope you are available. Best attorney around.

David West and associates, I can't thank you enough for the professionalism, your supreme knowledge of the law and representation in my case. You not only fought for my truth to be heard, you fought for my life and all that I would have lost! Though it may have seemed like you were unreachable, un attainable and didn't give much feed back,....you have demonstrated that not only you were more attentive to cases you represent while in action but also help your clients strengthen their "walk by faith and not by sight" approach to how you operate. You are truly a DAVID to your clients Goliaths, a SHEPHERD to sheep's who has wolves looking to devour their lives, and a person who shows how the WEST was won through your performance in a court room! My family will be forever grateful for your services and I will always recommend you to anyone in need. May God continue to bless you in your feild of work and your family and staff members.

My day in court with Mr. Leslie exceeded my every expectations. After a long 3 year battle of my on going case and different failed attorneys who couldn't seem to resolve the matter, Mr. Leslie stepped into the court room like a shark in the water. He came in prepared beyond my expectations with whatever angle opposing party may have came with, every stress and emotions I have been going through Mr. Leslie took it on as if it was his own personal matter, as if this was happening to him personally. In my experience it is not often you will find an attorney that will fight this hard for you, and I can't begin to express my gratitude to Mr. Leslie and his paralegal Ms. Summers for this victory, its been a long time coming and because of their brilliance I can finally close this chapter of my life. That being said, I highly recommend Mr. John Leslie to anyone who wants an attorney who will have their best interest and do everything in his power so that you may have a fair hearing. #TeamJohnLeslie
Thank you,

Having Eric Welch represent me in my DUI case was a godsend. I was facing a 3rd DUI and I was very concerned about my future. I have never felt like previous lawyers I spoke to listened to my struggles nor cared until now. He was always readily available to answer all me questions. He took my case extremely seriously and seemingly personal. Eric Welch was able to get the courts to reduce my charge to a Reckless Driving and I couldn’t have been happier with his services. Had I retained any other attorney, I do not think I would have obtained the result that I did. I highly recommend him.

Having worked with her as long as I did, Cindi has become a friend! Her only weakness is that she does not charge what she is worth. She is priceless!

John was extremely beneficial to have on my side when I was facing my 2nd DUI charge. Not only did I feel complete confidence in John from our initial meeting, I also felt well informed of all possible scenarios that we faced as a team. In the end, John got my sentence reduced to a reckless driving. As someone that had to plead guilty for my first DUI offense I knew what a bad lawyer experience looked like and I'm thankful that I was told to hire John from one of his previous clients. He was everything I could hope for this second time around. The judge even stared me in the face and said, "Your lawyer could not have arranged a better deal for you." Having met with many DUI lawyers the one defining character I was looking to avoid this time was a smooth talking, no action attorney. During that initial process it can feel like you're in a sales meeting and other times like you're being chastised. I never felt either of those things with John. I felt at ease every step of the way and win or lose that was important to me. My only regret is that I didn't have John representing my first case.
I'd definitely recommend John to any of my friends or family if they found themselves in need.

I called Saeed and explained my traffic ticket; unlike the other lawyers who wanted me to hire them immediately and pay them up front. Saeed advised me that my traffic ticket was a simple expiry of tag and that i should be able to pay the fine without paying thousands to any lawyer. He was more of a physician watching out for the best interest of his client instead of a businessman looking out for the best for himself. I can not thank him enough for giving the best advice in a simple and understandable language. I highly recommend Saeed for his principles and practise of law.

Saeed is a fantastic attorney and just a genuinely caring guy. His office is in a very nice area, and conveniently located. He spent more time with me than I've ever experienced from an attorney, and he was quick to find answers to all my questions. He handled my case extremely efficiently, and even made me laugh a couple times.
I'd recommend Mr. Mahallati to anyone. I actually picked up a stack of his cards because lawyers like him will actually give lawyers a good name.
Also, he speaks various languages. If you're in the market for a Persian / Iranian speaking attorney, then he's your guy.

Ms Westmoreland is special compared to most lawyers. What separates her most is the fact she actually cares. Most lawyers separate emotion which makes them just do work and go home and forget it about it. Mrs Westmoreland has passion and uses it to fight for you. Dealing with her taught me that if a lawyer doesn't actually care they are not the right lawyer!!

In Dealing with Nicole I realized I had the wrong lawyers all along. Nicole Westmoreland won my case for me. Whenever I called her she answered. I asked her how was she always available to answer my calls and give me so much attention and she replied she doesn't take every case that comes her way. She said if she is flooded with cases how could she effectively represent anyone. She just wouldn't have the time. She just makes sense !! Thank you for everything attorney Westmoreland !!

Unfortunately, I had a large multiple felony case against me in Cobb County regarding prescription forgery. I was looking at SERIOUS prison time and the prosecutor was NOT going to budge on her plea.
Mr. Ivan worked very hard on my case, performing an incredible amount of research and preparation. He involved me every step of the way, and asked me to also do things before my court date to help my situation.
He was fearless against the prosecutor. We ended up taking it to a bench trial, where I received significantly LESS prison time and consequences.
I would highly recommend him for his knowledge of defensive criminal law and professionalism.
Even the Judge told me at sentencing that, "Mr. Ivan did a great job for you."

Michael represented me over the summer for very serious felony charges. He keep me informed about my case and charged a price that was thousands less than other attorneys had quoted me. I couldn't believe I found such a great lawyer for a fair price. I hope not to need his services again, but if I do, I would call Michael. I've recommended him to 2 of my friends, also.

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.
