I cannot write enough positive comments about my attorney Adriana Collado-Hudak. I was placed in an unfair case in Florida and was seeking for someone to help me serve justice with my Federal Criminal Case. She took the time out and put in the hard work, determination, and effort to help me serve justice on this matter. She gave me my life back. She is a person who truly cares. I was going through a very tough battle for a long time. Adriana was willing to fight with me and for me the entire time. I would refer her to anyone who needed some serious help from a serious an honest person. Ms. Collado-Hudak did not give up on me and she did not do anything I did not ask her to do. She is great at what she does and I hope true and good people get to experience the honest journey with her. She is a highly skilled superior attorney and I am sure the very best in the criminal justice field. Her approach is extremely well planned. She has extraordinary communication skills and is a POWERHOUSE in the courtroom, but most importantly, she believes in what is fair and right. If you need an attorney who is exceptionally knowledgeable, supportive and intensely passionate about what she does, she is above and beyond outstanding! Her patience and true sense of caring make you feel comfortable and more optimistic. Her ability to draw out information to win her points is undoubtedly one of the many reasons for her success. I highly recommend Adriana for any criminal case. I am thankful and appreciative for everything that Ms. Collado-Hudak has done for me. Thanks a Kubiliun Adriana!

Mr. Ramey has handled several traffic issues for me in the past - alleged super speeding, school bus passing, and red light violations (among other things) – and my charges have always been dropped or reduced (no points!!). I'm a busy girl with more to do than attend hearings, and I'd rather not admit guilt by paying the fine (and risk upping my insurance), so I always consult Mr. Ramey no matter how minor the ticket. (Rolling stop, fender-bender...I've called up his office at least a half-dozen times over the past ten years and have recommend him just as often.) A girlfriend of mine recently got into a bit of trouble. Not to get into details, but the charge was more involved than my usual petty ticket, and I (of course) referred her to Mr. Ramey. Mr. Ramey was not able to work on the case directly, but his associate, Gregory Bianco worked magic and got all charges dropped. She could not be happier, and I'm just glad Mr. Bianco was able to provide the same level of service I promised her Mr. Ramey would.

I called the law offices to contest a traffic ticket. Being my first time having a ticket contested, I called the offices a lot more than necessary and they were 100% helpful and very patient with my questions. They told me what could happen and they were spot on. Best of all, they got rid of my ticket.

We hired Paul and his stellar team for my husband's case - felony assault and violation of probation. The public defender said the best we could get was 5 years. Paul got him 366 days time served and 3 years probation. The day of the trial he got the 3 years converted to 3 years with early termination at 1.5 years for good behavior. We couldn't be happier with the results of this case that had extremely condemning evidence. Paul will be very straight up with you about your options and fight your case like it's his own family. Thank you for your help!!!!

I Contacted Mr. Larry McMillan As Well As Five Other Attorneys For Consultion. As A Result I Chose Larry Due To His Eager Interest In My Case. His Prepartion From The Beginning To The End Of The Case Was Phenomenal. I Was Looking At A 10 Year Mandatory Sentence Plus 5 Years Coming To A Total Of 15 Years. After Many Attorneys Told Me I Would Not Be Able To Get A Better Plea Then 10 Years. Larry Got On My Case And Faught For Me, I Ended Up Receiving Credit Time Serve For 12 Months Credit And Probation. My Point Is That Larry McMillan Will Fight For You, Anwser All Your Text, Calls, E-Mails And Questions Until The Very End To Assure That You Are Satisfied With The Plea. He Keeps His Word And I Can Honestly Say He Is One Of The Best Defense Attorneys In Miami Hands Down. Thank You Larry

I was charged for the DV injunction. it was the first time I had to go to the court in my life, so everything was not easy for me. I walked into his office and explained him my case. He listened to me and explained what he will do for me. He didn't seem just an attorney, but someone who cared about me and my future. At the same time, I also consulted with several other attorneys to select the best possible attorney for myself based on my situation. You know, when it comes to our future you want to know that our lawyer is doing his all for us. After considering several parameters, I realized he is the best lawyer for me and I have more chance with him to win. He put enormous time and energy into helping me and finally my case was dismissed. I believe he saved my future and my life. I really appreciate his help and I will never forget him in my life. Even after the court, I still need his services and his advice when I am filling out some forms and I don't know how should I answer some questions regarding the background check. He still answers all of my questions in a timely manner. His advice and service are priceless for me. Mr. Larry Mcmillan provided outstanding services for his client. I believe he has vast experience with dealing with civil and criminal cases. I highly recommend Mr. Larry Mcmillan to the reader of this review.

He was highly sensitive to the fact that it was proving to be a traumatic experience for us. From our first meeting, he explained everything in terms we could easily understand and was always very responsive when we had questions outside of our meetings. Needless to say, the case against my husband was closed quickly afterward in his favour!!! We would highly recommend Patrick to anyone facing wrongful criminal charges

At the time, in 2008, I had been served with divorce documents and I found myself with nowhere else to turn and found myself overwhelmed with the situation and downturn of events. It was then that I was referred to Attorney Patrick McGeehan by an acquaintance. Attorney McGeehan took the adequate time to discuss what I was facing and clearly explained the options that were available to me. Eventually, the matter was confronted and resolved with Attorney McGeehan's expertise and dedication to my case. Attorney McGeehan was always prompt to answer and or return my calls or texts. He also always arrived early to court to defend me before a judge and in front of an aggressive opposing attorney. I was later faced with two other personal court matters of which Attorney McGeehan also defended me with those cases of which the results were advantageous and in my favor. I am truly appreciative of Attorney Patrick McGeehan's professional legal services and of course, I most definitely recommend him to help you with your unforeseen personal events which require his legal services. Thank you for all of your help and understanding with those cases Patrick... Freddie...

James is 100% a Top Notch attorney. He is extremely detailed and personable. He will analyze every detail of your case and knows exactly what he is doing. I thought no one would care about my cases and the effect they have had on my life as much as I did but James is the one to have in your corner. I interviewed many attorneys including the big box names. I was very close to hiring the big box because of the "clout" and win rate they tout. The folks you are talking to at the big box are sales people very rarely an actual attorney prior to hiring. I got a taste of how that was going to work and after working with James I have no doubt my experience at the big box would have been much different. James fully cleared my name. If you are concerned about your case just talk to James once and you'll see why he is your hire. AJ

After years of having two baseless complaints on my record I decided to hire James. I could not look at my U4 anymore knowing that the claims were not true. Throughout the process I was well informed as to what was needed on my end, the timeline of the expungement and had no surprises. James also discussed the outcomes and as they cannot be guaranteed, I feel that how James managed my case and kept me informed throughout the process, was a factor in my favorable outcome. If you are reading this and thinking about trying to remove a complaint, I would highly recommend James. Complaints do go away by themselves; you must act.

He was understanding and truly allowed me to speak on my experience and listened with no judgement. I was reassured because of his guidance and explanation of each step of the legal process. He was in constant communication to provide updates on my case, for any questions that I had along the way and responded promptly to any emails or messages sent to him. I was fortunate to find a driven yet personal defense lawyer of whom I could confidently leave my trust knowing he would keep my best interest in mind.

During the course of what I thought was a routine employment background check, warrants for my arrest for older traffic violations were discovered dating back some years. These were items of which I was unaware. I first engaged Ms. Murad to represent me in discussing this situation with that potential employer. She was quickly able to review and resolve this firm's reluctance to engage my services and I was offered the position. This was followed by her expeditious and successful representation of my case in front of a Miami-Dade court. Through her efforts the warrants, associated fines and traffic tickets were completely dismissed. Please consider this the strongest recommendation for Prya Murad Law PLLC

I have been on probation since I was 18 due to marijuana charges etc. I am now 21 and I was fairly close to finishing my probation on my own. Unfortunately I was arrested on a Friday for being out of county on probation. It wasn’t till Tuesday morning, my family was able to find Pryas number. When they finally found it she was easily reached and was able to do more than we expected. I was released on Wednesday at 3am, Not only was I released fairly quickly she also got my probation terminated completely! I went into jail thinking the worst of the worst and it turned out to be such a blessing in the end. I couldn’t thank her enough for her help. Glad I can finally put this in the past and I wouldn’t have been able to without her. Thanks to her I can finally start focusing on my life and not on my mistakes. Definitely worth it.

Approximately 2 years ago I was involved in an automobile accident which left me with buldging discs. I was experiencing severe physical pain , especially in my lower back. Moreover, I even had to stop practicing yoga which is my passion. Furthermore, the insurance company was claiming the injuries were pre-existing. Attorney Ricardo Morales who was highly recommended to me, put his expertise and experience into my case, which was complicated. He was able to change the outcome of my case to a very favorable result. Through his efforts I was awarded a high compensation and I was able to take time off from work and concentrate on my health which has improved tremendously.

Ron was dedicated to my ex-husband's violent crime case. He was looking at 38 years in federal prison but because of all the work that went into researching PTSD and how it affected my ex-husband the father of my children received 5 years of prison and will hopefully be home in 3 years. Words cannot expressed the gratitude that my children and family feel for the work that was done to defend him. Ron was professional, passionate, very knowledgeable and dedicated to this case and saw my ex-husband as a person and not just a paying client that he was billing. He knew all the laws and was well prepared for his court appearances. Ron kept the whole family informed on any updates regarding the case or court dates. He went the extra mile to make sure all of our requests were met even if they were not directly related to the case. I would recommend his services to anyone I know as you will get more than just a good lawyer you will get someone who will fight for you and get you the best results than you can ever wish for.

Joe represented me in a sexual battery case. I lost almost everything due to the allegation, and I was facing a lot of years. But as a result of his hard work and dedication, I didn’t lose my freedom. There’s no doubt he’s a skilled attorney (his knowledge of the law is unrivaled, and his even demeanor is so reassuring for the jury), but where Joe really shined is his treatment of the client/defendant. He made me feel like a human being, when the entire system felt designed to take away my humanity. I don’t think I could have made it without him by my side for those 2 difficult years.

I had the unfortunate pleasure of needing a criminal attorney and Peter Heller was referred to me. Peter Heller is not only a fierce advocate for his client, he also embodies everything good and decent in a human being. He shepherded me through the process flawlessly. What was a difficult and traumatic time in my life he assured me everything would work out, and it did. He could’ve charged me anything, and I would’ve paid it. He knew that. Yet not only was he more than fair I think he almost felt guilty accepting my money. He was worth every penny and then some. I’d highly recommend if you’re ever in need of expert legal Counsel you utilize Mr. Heller.

I hired Peter Heller to represent me in a complex criminal case, and I must say that my experience with this attorney was truly outstanding. From start to finish, he demonstrated a level of professionalism, dedication, and expertise that far exceeded my expectations. First and foremost, he was incredibly knowledgeable about criminal law and the legal system. He was able to explain the charges against me and the potential consequences in a way that was clear and easy to understand. He also took the time to answer all of my questions and address any concerns that I had, which helped me feel more informed and confident as my case progressed, not to mention constantly and consistently instilling my faith in his work. In addition to his legal expertise, he also showed a great deal of compassion and empathy towards me and my situation. He truly cared about helping me through this difficult time and worked tirelessly to ensure that my rights were protected and my best interests were represented. Finally, he was able to achieve an incredibly favorable outcome for me in my case. Thanks to his hard work and dedication, no charges were filed against me, and I was able to avoid any jail time or other serious consequences. Overall, I cannot recommend Peter Heller highly enough. He is an exceptional attorney who truly goes above and beyond for his clients. If you are in need of a skilled and compassionate criminal defense lawyer, look no further than Peter Heller.

As prosecutors, we were in division together, and I can attest that she was always prepared and ready to work hard. We also tried jury trials together, and she is a talented and skilled trial lawyer. I do not hesitate to recommend Raizel to my family and friends!

After interviewing several attorneys, I decided to retain Raizel, and I am very glad I did. As an attorney myself, although not practicing in insurance law, I needed someone with the expertise to handle my case, and Raizel proved to be the consummate professional. Raizel supported me every step of the way. She was thorough in explaining my options and understood how crucial resolving the issues was for me. She took the time to understand who I was and what was important to me, always making herself available when I called. I had been waiting for more than a year for my insurance company to pay a fair amount for damages due to Hurricane Ian. When it was time to negotiate, Raizel was tenacious and unwavering. I cannot recommend Raizel highly enough. Her dedication, expertise, and unwavering support make her an exceptional attorney who will fight for you every step of the way.

Mr. Spatz handed a criminal matter for me. I found him to be a consummate professional who not only took pride in his work but also cared about the outcome of the proceedings. He was easy to get hold of and always returned my phone calls promptly. His advice and court action were always based in fact and tempered by financial practicalities. The outcome of the court proceedings was a total success. I can recommend him without qualification to anyone who needs assistance with a legal matter.

I contacted Mr Expositio in May 2022. He was recommended by Met Life Legal program, from my employer in California. He was kind, interested, professional, and so helpful. He walked me through step by step of how to handle a Florida traffic citation. He followed up with phone call and texts and everything went exactly as he described. There was a wait involved, but expected as it was due to court scheduling, not Exposito's office or practice. I just couldn't get over how nice he was and genuine. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I;m so very happy I contacted him and I strongly encourage anyone else who could use his services to do the same. He was above and beyond my expectations, and the outcome was better than expected.

Our marketing agency has worked with Mr. Pimentel for almost three years and our experience with him has been consistently satisfying. He has been our attorney since we started our boutique marketing agency in Boca Raton back in 2014. He has addressed all our contract law and business litigation needs. Our agency has continuously depended on his extensive experience and knowledge in business law when dealing with contracts, contract negotiations and commercial transactions. Mr. Pimentel is an amazing attorney and I would especially recommend him to those managing start-up companies, small businesses, and even large companies in South Florida.

I have worked with Robin since meeting him almost 2 years ago, on a consistent basis. He first represented me in a criminal defense case, and was successful. In that matter, he was also very respectful, took a great deal of time to calm my fears and explain everything to me in detail, and did not even give me the opportunity to feel embarrassed about the situation I was in. As other reviewers have mentioned, Mr. Pimentel is compassionate to his clients, but also speaks plainly and to the point. Even if he has to repeat himself many times before he is understood by a panicked client. Since the successful resolution of my criminal matter, I have worked with Mr. Pimentel on various issues, everything from estate planning to contract issues to family matters. He is extremely knowledgeable in each of the fields he practices, extraordinarily hard-working, and very conscientious. And I would add, again, as others have noted, that he truly shows care to his clients, and has a great deal of integrity. He is completely trustworthy, will fight and work hard for his client, and will do so with a clear conscience and good heart. He will also be completely straight with you about what the expected outcome of the case may be, even if it is not what you want to hear. He does not waste anyone's time on frivolous matters. Beyond all that, he even managed to make me laugh at some of the darkest moments in my life. I would recommend him as well as the other two attorneys in his practice to anyone at any time - when I could only see things grimly. They at times work collaboratively, even to do something as simple to walk a frightened client into a courtroom. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Though I am mildly worried about doing so, because I don't want him to get so busy that he doesn't have time for my little life :). Intelligent, thoughtful, dedicated, diplomatic, and honest - everything one could hope for in an attorney.

There isn't a more delicate situation than one that involves ones child. When I came to Robin I was hoping that I could somehow resolve just that kind of issue. I had already gone to another Attorney and had little faith of anyone being able to fix my situation. I was impressed not just of the immediate attention that Robin gave my case; but, how he handled my case with heart. He didn't treat my case as just a legal issue. He reached out and took the time to tap into the human aspect of the parties. He resolved my issue, and I will forever be grateful that his professionalism saved my child from having to be caught in this terrible situation any longer. I can't repay that.

When looking for a criminal defense attorney-at-law, I highly recommend that you choose Mr. Diego Weiner. Finding the right person who can help with our legal issues was frightening to me, partly because of the process of filtering through a host of attorney‘s websites in order to make a judgment call on who to trust with your life. Mr. Weiner’s portfolio was impressive, however, upon our consultation, I knew right away that he was the right person to represent our criminal case. He doesn't mislead you regarding the seriousness of the case, additionally, he is a person who has high ethical standards, integrity, civility and confidence. I appreciated the time he took answering all of my questions and I felt less anxious. During a quick tour of his office, it showcased his law firms' character, as having a love for law, justice, civil rights, family, and even some humor.

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.
