I was in crisis and didn’t understand the intricacies of the legal system. Nicole immediately took me in, made me understand what was happening and why. She also told me what needed to happen so that i would be patient. She explained things to me in a way I was able to understand and make decisions. She also empowered me to fight for myself which is something I have never done. I was scared and still am, but Nicole has my back in a way nobody else ever has and It’s obvious that she truly cares. She understands what mental abuse is.

I was very happy with Attorney Leeper's service. The naturalization process is a serious matter. I wanted to make sure that I do everything correctly. I am a researcher and asked many questions. Attorney Leeper was competent and patient, and explained the process to me so that I always felt comfortable. Bia Chavantes and Fran were equally professional, kind, and helpful. It was a pleasure to work with them.

I want to thank you for listening to my situation and giving me a better understanding of my options and possible outcomes. You are a very sincere lawyer that I can tell takes pride in helping his clients through trying times. Just for you to take the time to let me know the status of my case without being under any retainer or any obligation to inform me is very greatly appreciated. My own attorney has not informed me of the status and I have called to find out and have not received any reply yet. I have had to hire many lawyers over the years to represent me for different reasons and I must say that 90% of them have left me uninformed and put little effort in my case. I would never even consider using anyone but you to represent me if the need arises in the future. You are truly the real deal. Thank you again

Not overstating when I say that Atty Dmitry Lev helped me at a point in my life when I didn't think anything could be done concerning a Bankruptcy. His steady demeanor, and very professional style immediately put me at ease. There wasn't one time when I asked a question that he didn't have the answer. Everything was explained in detail. I never felt that I was being rushed or otherwise treated in an offhanded way. Fees were explained very clearly. I'll also add I felt the fees were quite reasonable. Once work started on my case, I felt somewhat at ease for the 1st time in a long time.

My college roommate and I were both charged with felony level crimes. We were terrified because it was just a huge mistake and we were scared we would never get hired for jobs after graduating if we had criminal records. We had talked to several lawyers before consulting with Attorney Casale and after a quick phone conversation, we knew this was the person we wanted to hire! Attorney Casale was honest, understanding and reassuring throughout this horrifying ordeal. When it came to the day of the trail, Attorney Casale met us at the courthouse and within 50 minutes he was able to deliver a pre-trail dismissal and we were on our way back to campus. If you are looking for a lawyer that is dedicated to your case, truly holds your best interest at heart and fight for the best results I would reccomend Attorney Casale!

I was coming from a bad experience with another attorney, but Gary and his team gave me faith in believing in the system again. They never made me feel alone and held my hand along the way. I couldn’t have had a better attorney representing me in court

Gary was phenomenal to work with during my divorce! I sincerely felt that he always had the best interests of my children and me at heart during my divorce. He checked in with me regularly to ensure I understood all of my options and handled all negotiations with confidence and compassion. Each and every step of the way was carefully thought out and no stone was left unturned. I could not have asked for better representation. Thank you Gary (and Helene) for getting me through the most difficult time of my life!

I found Gary Avratin through a friend of a friend and immediately could tell that he would be the right advocate for me as I unraveled a 20+ year marriage. By the time I found Gary, I had been considering divorce for a couple of years so I’ve interviewed multiple other attorneys and a mediator. In each of those interviews I was quickly told that there was not much to be done, we would just split things 50/50, including time with our child. No one else bothered to listen to all the facts behind what I was seeking. Gary listened and then negotiated a fair settlement with the help of a mediator. The process was not simple but Gary used his determination and knowledge to push through it all with my best interests in mind. I selected Gary because he is clearly a tough-as-nails litigator who will fight for his clients with passion and I knew I needed someone who could effectively do that for me. At the same time, Gary is ultimately seeking fairness and a final agreement that allows his clients to have a decent relationship with their ex so that that they can co-parent for years to come. That approach makes a difference because, because you don’t want to destroy the chances of being able to co-parent. By seeking fairness, Gary allowed me to walk away from the process with an amicable relationship with my ex. Gary and his assistant, Helene, are incredibly busy but responded when I needed quick answers. When I reached out with more urgent matters, I got help within minutes. One has to remember that Gary and Helene are handling many, many other cases, and when they are working with a client, that client gets their 100% full attention. I have witnessed other attorneys who spend meetings texting and emailing about other cases and that is simply not how Gary operates. Also, they weren’t out to nickel and dime me; they did things that were important and checked what I sent them but they would suggest that I do a lot of the financial work myself to save time and money. They called with questions about the paperwork I sent to make sure I hadn’t made any mistakes or forgotten important details. Also of importance, is that Gary is very well known in eastern Massachusetts courts, especially Norfolk County, and he is well respected by judges, clerks, attorneys and mediators alike. Divorce is not fun and it’s likely not easy for anyone. It’s important to find someone who can guide you through the process and prepare you to start the next chapter of your life. Gary made a tough situation better by caring about me and my child and how each element of the agreement could be the best outcome for us.

Do yourself a favor and work with Rachel. I recently obtained US citizenship, and Rachel has been so helpful all along the way. Besides being a delight to work with, she is brilliant and highly knowledgeable about immigration laws and system. I was impressed to see my citizenship application filed in only two days after sending all the information and files needed for the application. One of the other benefits of working with Rachel is her expertise across different domains besides immigration law, which is very useful in making sure your application is prepared properly and that you receive the best counsel. Another impressive part was how well she prepared me for the citizenship interview. She was extremely detailed with her guidance, and everything she said would be covered was covered exactly in the order she said it would be covered. Of course, you’ll still need to do your part and prepare your documents right for her to submit in your application, study for the Civics test, etc., but working with Rachel gives true peace of mind and top-notch counsel. I was lucky that on the day of my interview, I was able to get sworn in as a citizen in the same building. Rachel walked with me to the swearing-in ceremony and even took a picture with the US flag as I became a citizen. A memory to last a lifetime. I highly recommend Rachel.

Rachel represented us in a criminal case that extended over 5 1/2 years. During this time the prosecution was disinterested in examining the facts or dropping the case that was rife with dubious and conflicting testimony. Rachel took the time to peel the layers back exposing the predisposed rush to judgement. Her skill as a lawyer and empathy as a person allowed us to dismantle the web of accusations and expose them as false. It was an especially trying case for ourselves and Rachel. We never gave up and Rachel provided logical and caring advice throughout the ordeal. There is no way we can thank her enough.

Peter worked with us over the course of several years as we sought desperately needed out of district placement for our two sons. Peter is extremely knowledgeable and deeply experienced. He has a wonderful sense of justice for kids and knows how to get the results children deserve. Peter is a wonderfully effective minimalist. He never clocked in unnecessary hours and always considered his own fees as part of the decision making process at each step. He was open to our contributions as time and cost saving measures. He was able to guide us through complex education law with clear explanations. Because he was always the clear thinking in the room, he was also able to point out where and when the school system was trying to pressure, manipulate, and gaslight us and our children. Not only did he help us place our kids at the schools that ensured their successful transition to college, he also gifted them a sense of justice. School systems can really beat down a kid's sense of confidence. By "winning," Peter helped restore our kids' knowledge that they deserve an appropriate education (like everyone else) and, when they get it, they can thrive. We are forever grateful for Peter's wisdom, legal talents, and his righteous drive to make schools do right by children.

Working with Attorney Philip was an amazing experience. Before meeting Philip, I was in a panic as I had received an offer from as a federal contractor and I had to do an FBI CORI which required fingerprints. I had called the lawyer who had worked on my case and tried to get him to Seal and Update my FBI CORI but his response was “there’s nothing we can do.” That is when I went online to do my research and that’s how I landed on attorney Philip’s website. I read through the testimonies on his website but I had to say, I was skeptical at first because not everything that’s on the internet is real. I followed my gut & called attorney Philip’s office. Philip was extremely knowledgeable about the FBI Sealing and Updating CORI process and he was able to answer all my questions. It felt great working with a lawyer that was confident in his work. Philip returns phone calls and emails promptly. Once I handed all the required documents he needed to work on my case, it took him 5 days to give me the exciting news that my FBI CORI was sealed and that the FBI update will be effective within 17 weeks. I highly recommend Philip and I will hire him again for any legal issues.

Paul was incredible defending me in my oui case. He was always calm, courteous and reassuring. He reviewed the facts of the case and explained the process every step of the way. He was confident he would win. At trial, Paul had some potential evidence thrown out as he was not provided prior to. During the Jury Trial he displayed his legal expertise in poking several holes in the prosecutor’s case. In his closing arguments he methodically walked the Jury through all the facts. End result, “Not Guilty”. I can’t thank you enough Paul. I would highly recommend Paul Donaghue Jr. to anyone in a similar situation.

Mathew Gilman is someone I can confidently and honestly say will help you get back on the road and deal with any legal issue you may have with expertise and passion. He will advocate for you to the fullest extent. I hired a different lawyer before him, and I had a totally different experience where I was taken advantage of. Mathew on the other hand, he will work with you, he will be honest with you, and he will give you the resources you need and WIN ANY case you have. He will help you along the way, tell you what steps you need to take, he’s always available to talk to you, he has a whole team that will also help you. I can tell this man is very dedicated to what he does and is a VERY genuine guy. He doesn’t judge. I was in a situation that I thought there was no coming back from. I thought I would *never* be able to drive again or get my license back. I had jumped through hoops before meeting him. He guided me, showed me the light at the end of the tunnel and got my license REINSTATED within 8 weeks of speaking with him. He is the best of the best. He could’ve totally judged me based on what was on paper but he didn’t. He saw me as a human being who made some mistakes and helped me get my life back. I never once felt judged. I felt heard, seen, understood, and I felt like for once someone wanted to help me get my license back. He is worth every single penny and I would pay him all over again. I wish I had gone with him from the start, I would’ve saved so much money. He is affordable, and he will work with you if you need to set up a payment plan. I have no complaints. He is truly the best of the best and I just want to say THANK YOU!

She was is competent and has extensive knowledge of the Massachusetts court system. Attorney Quintal charged us a capped fee for her services at our first meeting. Our case turned out to be much more time consuming than anticipated but she did not raise her fee and refused to accept more money when our case was closed. I would highly recommend Kerri Quintal to anyone in need of legal representation.

I had never needed a lawyer before so I wasn’t sure what to expect but Paul was amazing! It was a very long process due to covid but not once did I feel like Paul was losing interest or giving up. After a long 2.5 years he was able to get my case dismissed. He actually cares and knows exactly what to do in each and every situation. I would recommend him 10/10 to anyone

Not much you can really say about Steve, other than BEST IN THE BUSINESS! I found myself in a bad spot and got my first DUI. I was so nervous and worried, and thought my life was "over". After meeting with Steve, my concerns lessened, but were still there. Steve was quick in answering any questions or concerns. He was always there to help and set my mid at ease(not easy for me). Steve studied all the reports and facts of the case and looked deeply into my situation. When we arrived to court, i was shaking so much. Once I met and talked with Steve, that all stopped. I was still nervous as could be! We were then called in the court room to start the trial. Steve did EXACTLY what he was there to do. He showed the police were not 100% being honest, and made some obvious mistakes. Steve was quick to point all those mistakes out, and prove my not guilty status. Through the entire trial, I thought to myself, "man, this guy is good". In the end, NOT GUILTY! Steve 100% did what was asked and beyond. Now, if the registry would cooperate, I would be a happy man, lol. Again, do not hesitate to use Steve for your DUI needs. Hopefully, you don't have to though, LOL. It is not something fun to deal with. Thank you Steve!!

When i went to Marc I was scared, emotional, stressed & lost with no clue of what had happened to me specially alone & far away from my home country Nepal here in the US with only help of my family friends. The minute Marc heard my story, did the discovery, saw all evidence & went deep into my matter he instantly figured i was used, played & betrayed. Talking to Marc right from the beginning i felt a sense of relief as he listened to me, he was very calm, supportive, clear & was extremely thoughtful. His attention to detail, dedication & he even helped me get through with the right suggestions as my ex had put a ARO on me, blamed me with creating all types of difficulties including taking possession of all my family assets & had total control of a joint bank account. I had lost faith & had no hopes of recovering from the emotional & financial trauma i was going through & the emotional stress my family went through at this time. The minute Marc decided to take my case from that day onwards i felt a sense of trust, kindness & along the way as i had more meetings with him felt a sense of relief & I was hopeful for the rite judgement & justice which finally happened for me, it did take a little while but i got all my family assets back , got compensated for my loss & was finally able to recover from the loss me & family had to go through. Today i truly believe in what Marc had told me in the beginning which was to be honest & have faith & I did rite from day one & it worked. He handled everything so well. I’am satisfied & so content & finally able to move forward & start a new life. I can never thank him & his team enough for what they’ve done for me. The amazing outcome. Also I would like to thank his team specially to Christopher Sambataro for being so helpful, supportive & kind & i genuinely recommend GRIMALDI/PESIRIDIS

I hired Marc’s firm four years ago because an extremely contentious situation involving my ex. I was referred to him by a family friend and I retained him almost immediately. After four years in litigation, the firm literally won every battle along the way, keeping my son safe and in the end, I came out ahead. Would refer Marc and his firm to anyone going through a really tough divorce that needs tough representation. It’s really that simple.

I was arrested for 1st offense refusal. I was very unsure about what was going to happen next and looked up OUI lawyers, after reading and listening to previous clients statement on his website I decides to give Mr Waldbaum a call. Mr. Waldbaum returned my call immediately and began to verbally walk me through what was going to happen, this was very helpful and made things much less stressful, he was very honest about everything that he could do for me. We went to court and got everything done in 1 day, I was leaving for a vacation to Europe in a few weeks following the arrest and his expert handing of my case allowed me to still take this trip. I had trouble getting my license back after court because of the RMV changing their computer systems, MR. Waldbaum and his associate Mr. Dunn were very proactive and went as far as spending over 4 hours at the RMV/ running back and forth to the court house to get documents until the RMV gave me a license, and to top it off they did not charge me for all this extra service. I was on the fence about hiring a lawyer and spending that much money, I am so grad I did and would highly recommend MR. Waldbaum and Mr. Dunn.

Dear Attorney Joseph Waldbaum, “This letter is written with gratitude, appreciation, admiration, and respect.” Going back to October 17, 2016 that early Sunday morning my life took a turn for the worst and my family was facing certain turmoil. Having been arrested for my 3rd OUI and placed into custody during the early morning hours, and unsure of where I was to turn. I sat at the police station until I was to be arraigned at court. Having posted bail, I was facing a slew of charges with one being a felony which comes with a mandatory 6 months in jail. I went home and started googling best OUI lawyers In Massachusetts. I came across your website and was impressed that you had all these referrals of past clients along with actual videos. I reviewed several of them and I also reached out too a few. When I decided to reach out to you by phone I received an immediate call back within minutes. We discussed my case and you gave me an insight of what we would be facing and the challenges it would be because of it being my 3rd OUI with a Felony implication. Having been stressing about the potential repercussions for my actions, I decided you were going to give me the best shot at defending me. Since day one you were there for me and my family. You stood beside me, helped me through a most difficult process with patience, understanding, and explained every detail to me so that I could understood the process, court proceedings, and outcome. Everything was exactly as you said it would be, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome. Attorney Waldbaum was able to suppress my breath test which was a big win for us before trial. Then we went to trial and Attorney Waldbaum worked like a true professional in the court room and was able to get the jury to find me “Not Guilty”. When I heard the verdict, I started to get emotional as I am now able to resume my life, my career, and most importantly bringing closure to this for my family. I would also like to point out that during these past 18 months. I had another circumstance surfaced in another court during July 2017, and once again you were there for me with undivided attention, and time. All resolved well, and we avoided jail time and fines. Once again, I thank you. In today’s time and turmoil, it is truly rare to find an individual to be so knowledgeable, honest, and integrity not compromised. A rare asset “a gem” to the profession. For anyone seeking legal counsel. I say go no further then Attorney Joseph Waldbaum. Attorney Waldbaum is able, dependable, and if all possible will help to resolve your situation. A fine gentleman indeed! The best quote that Attorney Waldbaum said to me that will always stay with me. “The good lawyers know the law, the great lawyers know the judges” With the highest regards, Best, Mr. Scott

Being an individual of some stature and respect within the South Shore community, I was in dire need of David Flanagan's professional services and experience when I had a run-in with the authorities. My situation was an OUI that severely complicated my life, my standing and my career not to mention the costs and restrictions. This was my own fault and I accept the responsibility for the consequences. David related to my predicament and managed my case with great skill and effect. He is a solid citizen, personable and fair. Balanced with a practical, driven, and confident practice of the law, he earned my utmost respect. If you have a run-in with the authorities and David Flanagan accepts your case, my recommendation is to follow his advice and let him represent you. As a personal note to David, I am grateful for your care of my case. You made it possible for me to restore my life to normal. Respectfully submitted, D3

I was cited for driving to endanger - negligent operation when I crashed my motorcycle. An application for criminal complaint was filing against me by the Plymouth County Police Department. Dave Flanagan was referred to me by a friend and I soon found out that Dave had experience dealing with cases very similar to mine. He was able to walk me through and explain each step of the process and made sure I understood why I was being charged and how we were going to approach the situation. Dave was ultimately able to get my case dismissed prior to arraignment. Throughout the process, Dave was very responsive to my emails and phone calls. I would recommend him to anyone.

After speaking with several competent OUI attorneys, I felt Mike was the most down to earth and I’m glad I chose him. Throughout the 8 months process awaiting trial he kept me updated and informed. The court system isn’t something I ever expected to encounter and he explained it step by step. During a traumatic time, having a level headed attorney on your side is invaluable. I would absolutely recommend him.

I landed on Mike after reading through reviews and I’m so glad I did! He was available very quickly and at all hours in the day and worked with me over a 7 month period dealing with an OUI and negligent driving charge in MA and I’m an out of state resident. He was very knowledgeable and helpful in explaining what may happen in each of the states. If he didn’t have the answer, he had an army of contacts and lawyers in Maine that he was able to get the information from. We went to trial and he was brilliant. Quick on his feet and able to get all charges dismissed. Highly recommend!!

I was scared and confused and frankly completely lost when I found out I had to go to court. Thankfully I called James Doherty who was very helpful and very good at calming me down and pointing me in the right direction. One of the last things he said to me in our first phone call was to "not worry and everything will be ok." James reassured me every step of the way as things progressed. James was very professional individual keeping everything we spoke to on topic and efficient. I was also dealing with a big move to the west coast at the time of the case and James saved me the trouble of having to fly back to the state of New Hampshire by convincing the judge to let me appear via telephone in California state. I can't say enough about how effective and helpful James Doherty was! He was a man of few words but every single thing he said carried weight and reassurance that everything was in fact, going to be ok, and he was right! I wish I still lived in NH only to have Doherty in my back pocket in case I ever needed him again. You are in great hands with James Doherty.

I contacted Attorney Studley’s office just over 2 years after my car accident (I was not at fault) because I started getting phone calls and letters from the other drivers insurance company. I spoke to Christine on the phone and she was both reassuring and confident that we could reach a reasonable settlement for my case and set up a meeting with Attorney Studley very quickly. Attorney Studley is both knowledgeable and relatable. This was my first time contacting a lawyer for this type of matter and I was nervous and expected to feel intimidate, but that was not the case at all! I felt comfortable and at ease working with him and I trust his expertise and years of experience to get me the best settlement possible without going to trial. All of my questions and concerns were addressed in a timely manner and I received frequent updates via email as agreed upon. I would absolutely contact Attorney Studley immediately if I were in another accident or needed legal assistance.

I had a complicated and unique case that many lawyers turned me down before I found John. I worked with John for over 2 years in a custody and paternity case. John was always professional, helpful, responsive, and did an excellent job in explaining the many different routes I could undertake in order to get the ruling I wanted. John is very perceptive and with his lengthy experience he was able to decide which strategy we should undertake given many different factors including changing judges in my trial and many other inherent details to my case. John’s expertise and wisdom helped us navigate the trial and end up with a ruling that I ideally wanted and hoped for in the end. Not only was he excellent in his service, but also the staff at his practice as well. I would highly recommend John to anyone seeking legal guidance or representation. I would definitely work with John again.

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.
