I recently settled my case with this law firm…and let’s just say I will NEVER use them again for ANYTHING . I was dissatisfied with the services and disgusted with the amount I’ve received for my car accident.. it was ridiculous how I had to constantly call in and upon doing so it was times new people were brought on to my case, and I would have to explain from start. They don’t care! And they received far more money than me as a client in the end… I wish my case was NEVER handed to them by Great Trial which is another company I would NEVER trust to do any other case for me… you are better off going to well known attorneys than this small new inexperienced office. Never again!

The entire litigation team which consisted of Jordyn, David, Irania and Teana were extremely helpful in making sure i got what I deserved and do so asap. I hope I never get into another wreck but if I do you guys can count on me to return for your help.

I can’t express my deepest appreciation for my attorney and his staff. I am new to Georgia and when I was accused in a new state, I felt lost. I had consults with a couple of attornies that wanted to do no work with high fees. My attorney listened to me and talked to me like a human and not a dollar sign. He checked on me and kept me informed of every decision through out the entire process. This is an experience that can’t be matched. I am happy to report that my case was dismissed with no record thanks to Awad Legal Team! Myself and my family are beyond grateful for your hard work and compassion! Thank you again!

With the TPO on my Civil Record, my entire future would have been destroyed! Attorney Wyatt made sure that I had a bright future, and actually secured peace in my life! If you need an attorney that will fight for you and, if you need an attorney that actually cares about his clients, YOU NEED TO HIRE ATTORNEY WYATT! Respectfully.

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 wanted to express our utmost gratitude to Joel Pugh and Associates in defending our 12-year-old daughter during an unexpected legal matter. Their professionalism, dedication, and community connections made a significant difference in our experience and led to a just outcome. 
From our initial consultation, it was clear that Joel possessed extensive knowledge of juvenile law. His deep understanding of the legal issues at hand was complemented by strong connections within the community, which proved invaluable. These relationships allowed him to navigate our case effectively and advocate for our daughter with authority. Throughout this difficult time, Joel and his team exhibited remarkable patience and kindness. They understood that this was an emotional journey for our family and treated us with respect and empathy. Their attentive listening and willingness to address our concerns helped alleviate much of our anxiety. We highly recommend Joel Pugh and Associates for anyone seeking legal representation, especially in matters involving children. Their combination of professional expertise, compassionate support, effective communication, community connections, and successful outcomes sets them apart as an exceptional law firm. We are incredibly grateful for their assistance during this challenging chapter in our lives. S A Khan

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!

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.

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.

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.

can we start with a standing ovation for Zak though ! a woman that is TRULY representing for the community . i’ll never forget the first time i exchanged words with her in regards to the case … it didn’t make sense , we will attempt to get the charges dropped . no lie , a year later i had littleto no faith that Watson Law LLC was really looking out for me and my best interest . i like thorough communication , especially involving something that was as sensitive to me as this was , and i wasn’t receiving it . i was an unhappy client . then BOOM ! the law angel came to me in my sleep and slapped the black off me and said “ call the state , you’ll understand everything after you obey my wishes “ . low and behold i discovered my issue was with the state and NOT my law firm !!!! GEORGIA HAS THE WORST LEGAL SYSTEM IN THE U.S!! they are always backed up or not prepared in court … that’s crazy work my boy lmao … okay i won’t write a book but let me tell you ALLLLLL … if you’re searching for a small business / criminal defense attorney right now … LOOK NO FURTHER . go ahead and call this Small Firm because she’s definitely handing out BIG Results . my charges weren’t jst dropped , she got the whole case DISMISSED ! won’t they do it !!! and people understand … small businesses have assistants to help them fulfill and execute everything needed to make that business thrive ! yeah , Zak may not be able to respond to you directly all the time . SHE’S A LAWYER THAT WORKS FOR HERSELF !! talk to those assistants ! they are there to give you the answers Zak left for them to provide . it took me a while to come around to that so yes , i’m speaking from experience & being a small business owner of my own now , i see the importance of assistance . one person can’t do it all you know . thank you so much Zak ! hopefully i get to run into you in the future to tell you all about my prosperity after you got me this dismissal ! and i got the prettiest box from them celebrating 10 years so i want to end this by saying happy 10 year anniversary to The Watson Law Family !

This lawyer is extremely hard working and extremely gifted. She did everything she could to help my during a criminal trial in 2013, unfortunately due to the corrupt court and criminal justice system in Cobb County Georgia I was convicted: however, her defense was so incredible she paved the way for me to possibly get my case overturned on appeal. Every time I sent her a letter or made a request she would quickly respond. She was professional and cared about my particular issues, and this was from a PUBLIC DEFENDER! Hire her, she's worth every penny (although she prefers dollars).

Mr. James Miller is kind, compassionate, competent, knowledgeable, and responsive. He stays right on top of things until he gets what he needs for his clients. He keeps us informed. He always goes the extra mile to do the best he can do for us. He's not satisfied until he feels in his heart of hearts he has the best resolution. He won't give up! He's energetic and stays on task. Mr. Miller is brilliant and knows the law. He is very "client oriented" and I know he gave his all for my daughters case. I would definately recommend him and hire him again should the need arise.

I read the reviews section and I have a problem with the negative reviews. Firstly, I am a retired federal LEO having served for 23 years. Secondly, having been a LEO I have no love for defense counsels but it comes with the territory. Lastly, I have no dog in the fight as I've never met or retained Ms Merchant. With that being said, if you have a low opinion of Ms Merchant provide facts supporting your opinion. Mere words are not facts. Opinions and beliefs are not facts. Opinions and beliefs change. Facts don't. Simply making a statement does not make the statement true. I've been in court countless times as both a witness and gallery observer. I've also watched Ms Merchant in court, Re: Fani Willis. I've observed numerous prosecutors and defense counsels in action from 1975 to the present and, truth be told, Ms Merchant is in the top 5%. I enjoy attending sporting events but if I had a choice between fourth row seats on the 50 yard line watching tOSU Buckeyes play or watch Ms Merchant in court, it would be a toss up.

I had a super speeder ticket - from the very first interaction, David was personable, knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. He helped to ease my anxiety about the situation and went to bat for me in court. My ticket ended up being dropped down significantly and the penalty was much less than what it had initially been. I would recommend David to anyone including my own family and friends. Thank you!

Austin, Thank you so much—for everything. Words can’t express my gratitude, and not just because things panned out—nah, you were amazing every step of the way, sir! Your professionalism and compassion stood out in every interaction. You believed in my son even when some of his own family members didn’t! Your ability to see him as more than “just some random criminal” and to recognize his illness as more than an inconvenience— that meant the world to me, and that’s not even mentioning your skills as a lawyer! You blew me away there too - it was a tough case, and you remained absolutely motivated and pushed for justice until the end! I’ll always be grateful for the way you handled our case with such care and respect. It was a truly heart-wrenching situation, and you handled my meltdowns with patience and understanding every single time. You made a real impact on our lives, and I just want you to know that I don’t take any of it for granted. I wish you the very best in your career and in life. I’m so very grateful there’s a hero like you out there fighting the good fight for us common folk—the world needs more people like you, Austin. SIIIIIIIGH With the deepest appreciation and respect, I wish you well, sir—BUT I HOPE TO NEVER have to work with you again! LOLOL :) Take care, Austin - you're doing amazing work out there!

First and foremost I would like to thank Frye Law Group for accepting me as a client. Secondly, I would like to thank Michael for representing me. It was short notice but he made sure that he was more than prepared. He understood what mattered to me most and was able to execute without hesitation and got my case dismissed. I may be quiet but I knew in this situation I would have to stand up for myself. I’m just glad I didn’t have to face this alone. Now I can get back to being the best dad that I know that I am. Thank you again. I will definitely be recommending Frye Law Group to anyone in need.

I will leave this review to those that want the honest truth and unfortunately, I need to leave this review vague enough so that her office doesn’t try and discredit my comments (I would challenge you to look at her responses to other negative reviews…some are obviously warranted) I don’t play. Several years ago, I was going through the most challenging time of my young adult life. I had made some mistakes years prior and unfortunately found myself in a predicament, which lead me to an admission of guilt to my misdemeanor charge…per my council (Ms. Frye directly) I accepted a deal that was inaccurately presented to me in court. While dealing with the aftermath of my case, it was brought to my attention that Ms. Frye had given me an inaccurate and false narrative of my obligations to the court. I can’t go into extreme detail, but I can tell you, I have more than enough evidence of malpractice. I do not and will not take this lightly. As a working class medical professional, anyone that wants to partner with Ms. Frye I would recommend you head my warning. I have a case worker overlooking my complaint to the Georgia board. As a criminal defense attorney, Ms. Frye does not want these facts to become public, but unfortunately this is the direction she would like to move forward with. She is unwilling to admit to the mistakes she made to the court (and myself), which the court has graciously provided me and my current attorneys (several years later, after the incident) with enough proof and evidence of said malpractice. There are so many attorneys out there. This one will overcharge you and make it feel normal…and in my case, give you the worst outcome possible (with sprinkles of nasty, disrespectful and condescending attitude) while verbally giving you the wrong outcome of your case after the trial. I can’t make this up. I know I sound like someone recently hurt by the outcome of my case…that is incorrect. I advise any and everyone to challenge any potential attorney that you might be interested in to ask adequate questions and understand the realm of possibilities regarding your case. This was one of the worst mistakes I’ve made in my entire life, and I have really been struggling with it for years. I would not recommend Ms. Frye to my worst enemy.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
