In a difficult time, when I needed to talk to someone, Wanta Thome listened to my story. From the start with the initial intake, and then lawyer Nick Kaylor- they were all patient listeners. I felt valued. Nick explained me possible outcomes in my case. He went through the complicated process and guided me in every steps thoroughly. He always answered my questions promptly even on the weekends. I would recommend Wanta Thome to anyone that needs an employment lawyer.

My girlfriend needed an employment attorney and the reviews seemed overall very good. At my gf's request, I contacted this company and told them to contact her at her number. Imagine my surprise when they contacted me again instead of the number that I gave them. After that, they finally get ahold of her and set up a time for a "consultation" (their words). We get the call on the agreed upon day and it's not a consultation. We, instead, speak with a paralegal, Bernice, who sets up a time to speak with the attorney, who we are told is Nick in about a week. We wait for the agreed upon date, which we were given not a specific time, but instead a window that the call would come in from Nick. Well, we waited and around the end of the window of time, my gf called and was told that Nick would be contacting her soon. He didn't. So my gf called again, now almost an hour after the window of time ended. We spoke with Miguel, who was professional albiet short and not very helpful. He indicated that Nick had some other pressing and thusly could not take our consultation at this time as agreed. My gf inquired as to why we were not given a call to inform us this change. Miguel had no explanation whatsoever. My gf asked when would we be able to speak with Nick and again Miguel was completely inept. We asked to speak to a managing partner and Miguel refused to pass that request along. So, to review, we have waited weeks for a consultation and got blown off with no explanation whatsoever. We can't get confirmation on when we can speak to an attorney or a managing partner. This is easily the most unprofessional and inept law firm I've ever encountered. I get that things happen but communication, professionalism and a willingness to make things right is key.

Nick was really nice and kind. He was very professional and answered all my questions with respect and understanding my situation. After the free consultation I was able to clear up my mind and follow the next steps. Thank you so much.

Lori Peterson is an amazing attorney to have in your corner.
She will get the job done for you. Lori fought hard for me and stood by my side through the ups and downs of both my case and my emotions. She truly cared about me and the outcome of my case. Lori will fight for justice.
She is compassionate, determined, passionate, and strong.
Thank you, Lori, for everything you have done for me, for helping me move into a new chapter of my life, and for giving me the closure I needed. Thank you.

Lori is hands down the best lawyer!!! When they say taking on a certain entity is a hard fight, that didn’t stop her for taking on our case. Lori is SO passionate, caring and empathetic for her clients, which is SO rare to find!!!! Lori puts in many hours and is so dedicated to her clients. We were so blessed to be able to have her represent us when we were in our darkest, most stressful days of our lives! I looked for a lawyer who cared about women's rights and I was so thankful to have been referred to her! (Lori is also an animal rights activist-she is saving animals and also fighting for human rights!!)
Lori was always quick to respond and you can tell in her heart she genuinely cares about her clients.
Lori represented our daughter, who dealt with a very traumatic event of her life and ours!
Sexual discrimination/harassment and assault should never go on and it is 2024 and girls are still fighting for basic human rights!
Lori is a powerful, majestic force and there is no one else like her!! She will always be our hero!!
We are also so thankful to Lori, for suggesting martial arts to empower our daughter, because of Lori’s idea we got inspired to set up a self defense class to help empower our daughter and other kids.
If you are looking for a lawyer who is compassionate, strategic, powerful, dynamic, is a fighter and has your best interest in heart .. you would be so lucky, honored and grateful to have her on your side!!!
Thank you so much Lori for being there for us, for our daughter and for making an everlasting imprint and impact on our lives, we can’t thank you enough!!! You will always be our hero!!! We love Lori!!

Lori Peterson isn’t just the law dog, she is the Top Dog. Her compassion and dedication to her clients is immeasurable. She really takes the time to hear you and works tirelessly to fight for your rights and compensation. I could not recommend anyone more. When I first contacted Lori, it was just with a few legal questions. Not knowing if what I was dealing with had any legal merit. Lori contacted me right away, listened, and gave me great advice with nothing in return. When things escalated, she was my first call. Lori handled my case fiercely and I couldn’t be more grateful!

Es el peor , abogado de todo minesota , no se lo recomiendo a nadie , vine para que me ayudaran con una solicitud de permiso de trabajo , y firme contrato xq éramos mi esposo y yo , pagué de inicio 3000 dólares , y me dijeron que iban a meter las aplicaciones , entregue todos mis documentos y después , pasaron 8 meses porque me dijeron que en 8 meses llegaba el permiso y cada que les llamaba no me respondían , entonces me fui directamente a la oficina sin cita , después de 8 meses y cuando llegue me dijeron que aún no habían metido mi caso 😐😐, les pedí que me devolvieran mi dinero y que buscaría otro abogado , y solo me devolvieron $1500 , no sé qué es lo que tuve que pagar 🤷🏼♀️si nunca se metió ninguna aplicación. La consulta cuesta $250 , pues se hubieran descontado eso y nada más , pero prácticamente es un robo. No les recomiendo en lo absoluto este lugar principalmente a Pascal y Xochild que era el abogado y la asitente 😐😐😐😐No vayan porque les va ir mal 😐

Its never fun to have to use a lawyer but a its part of business.

I have worked with several lawyers for various situations over the years with owning a business. But can honestly say that Justin Boschwitz and Peter Kaiser with Moss & Barnett have been the two best I have worked. They are down to earth and it doesn't feel like the classic lawyer - client relationship I have had before or is stereotypical. They have helped me with both positive and unfortunate business situations and guided me along the way. I would highly recommend them, SKOL!

Shes suppose to be the main point of contact for my case. She told me to get retreated for my injuries at a chiropractor and when the chiropractor could not get a hold of her, I asked her to call him and she said she would and never did. Finally I asked her to try and final my case as my accident was in 2019 and she told me she will no longer work on my case because of my additude. I did not know asking for communication was against the law.

I was in a accident which caused my car to get totaled. My lawyer was not able to help due to the pandemic so he transfered me to kris neros. She staed that she will be my new lawyer in March 2022 and I explained to her what happened and she mentioned she will be my main point of contact going forward. I have not spoken to her for 4 months. Recently she stated I should try and get retreated and I had to meet with an adjuster to which kris said "I will call you to prep you for this meeting" I did not get a call from her nor did I an messaged from her responding to me. The adjuster then stated I do not need to be retreated. Kris then suggested that I go to get treated anyways so I did. I'm now having to be the middle person person with the chiropractor and kris and I constantly have to rich out to both of them to talk to eachother. I messaged kris that is the insurance company has given a final offer on my case, that we should except it cuz she not communicated with me at all. Today August 10 2022 the chiropractor messaged me again stating that adjuster does not think I need retirement. So I messaged kris and asked for an updated and stated that if she's not going to be the main point of contact then please let me know to which kris responded that u should be receiving my paper work and she doesn't appreciate my additive and for me to find a new lawyer. I will diffinatle be reporting her lack of representation to the lawyers professional responsibility board. It sucks that she has 100 %positive reviews as I did not receive this kind of treatment.

My business was one of the many destroyed and looted during the Lake Street riots. I found myself having to deal the aftermath of such a devastating situation I never in my life expected to have to deal with. I knew I needed to find an experienced professional to make sure I came out of it ok. Kris Naros stepped right up to help me navigate through the complex insurance claim process, making sure I got every penny of coverage available, explained everything to me in a prompt and understandable manner and showed true care and compassion throughout the process, helping me and my business get rebuilt and back on track quickly. I am so great full for everything they have done for me and my business. I highly recommend Kris Naros and Naros Law - they are the best!

I applied for the Human Resources Assistant position with Stinson, LLP in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in August 2024. I was called the next day after applying via their online job application on their website.
My initial telephone interview was with Chelsea L. Clennan, Director of Human Resources for Stinson, LLP, who's located in their Wichita, Kansas office.
Chelsea was immediately complimenting me, telling me that any employer would be lucky to have me, that my skillsets are perfect for the role, that they would move quick for me in the recruitment process, they would make same-day job offers if needed-- immediately raising red flags for me that she was not a genuine person. She immediately moved me on to the second and final stage of the hiring process: the final interview with the hiring manager, the HR manager of the Minneapolis office-- both of whom reported to Chelsea.
My suspicions of Chelsea would prove correct when, all the sudden, after letting her know after my final interview on Friday afternoon that I did have another offer, which I'd received the day prior, Chelsea responded to my email quickly, letting me know her and her hiring team would meet on Monday. In her email to me, which I've attached, she even told me her team considered me a top candidate.
Monday came and went-- nothing, crickets. Tuesday, I received the attached screen shot email, letting me know they'd meet later that day. I replied, thanked her for keeping me in the loop, even further expressing my gratitude for keeping in touch with me and making me feel respected and valued.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday -- absolute radio silence from Chelsea L. Clennan. I sent a polite follow up email Friday afternoon-- again, I had been ghosted. Not a single reply or word from Chelsea or her team ever since -- despite her shtick of "you're a top candidate" and "we move quickly."
I shudder to think how Stinson, LLP employees -- whether in Minneapolis or Kansas -- are treated if Chelsea treated a job applicant -- me -- with what I felt like was pure garbage and disrespect.
Personally, I do not recommend Stinson as a place to work based on my experience as a job candidate and how I feel I was treated.
When people like the human resources director show you their true colors-- believe them.

I walked in alone to a hearing riddled with anxiety and uncertainty, with no legal representation. Not knowing what was going to be my outcome, especially over a situation that should not have even been brought to a level where court would have been involved, I requested a court appointed attorney.
I have never lucked out so much in my entire life than I did that day. Stinson Law firm just so happened to be providing pro bono work that morning and took my case. The two attorneys I worked with not only helped me feel validated in my disbelief that I was even there, but also were the most knowledgeable powerhouse of representation I could have ever asked for.
If I were to sum it all up in 3 reasons why I would recommend them to anyone, it would be:
Top notch negotiation skills, an unmatched knowledge of the law surrounding my scenario, and for being the most personable, down to earth people, to have the pleasure of working with.

Mr. John Lucas and I met today, Monday October 30, 2017. Mr. Lucas is currently a Public Defender on behalf of Hennepin County. Mr. Lucas was very informative and shared with me that DWI cases have a statute of limitations of 3 years. If this is true, why would any County or City Hall Attorney's office be allowed to continue prosecuting a DWI Case over 3 years old, or where an outstanding Warrant has been purged from the records. Just saying, all you "nameless" City Hall Attorneys in the State of Minnesota, wise up and stop prosecuting "dusty," Statute of Limitations expired cases, and wasting Judges, Court Administrators, Attorneys & Defendant's time with "crap" cases, when the case has exceeded the Statute of Limitations, according to Attorney, John Lucas.

I had a very minor criminal issue that I hired Mr. Oleisky for. Although it was very minor, I could tell that Mr. Oleisky took it as serious as any other case. My first contact with Mr. Oleisky came through a consultation form I filled it during a weekday night. He replied to me within the hour to set up a free consultation over the phone the next morning. I was extremely impressed with how fast he replied to me and was not expecting a reply until the next day at the very earliest, if not later. The next day we spoke about my case and he never put any pressure on me to hire him as an attorney. He spoke to me about the best options to defend this case and gave up several options I could go with without hiring him or any other attorney. He came me a price at the end of the conversation of how much it would cost to retain him if I wanted to hire him. In the end, I ended up hiring up the next day. He kept in communication with me every step of the way and got the ball moving on things right away. In the end, he was able to get my charges reduced to what I wanted and I was able to move up with my life. I would recommend him to anyone seeking a criminal defense attorney.

I can not say enough good things about the level of professionalism of this lawyer. Unfortunately I have had to use lawyers for many different things ranging from family law to criminal law. Bob is very professional, responded to all of my concerns frivolous or not. There is not a place or person in the entire criminal justice system in this city that does not know and respect this lawyer. He is very knowledgeable and he can weigh out several different factors you may not be considering including which judge you have or don't have etc. In my last case I even considered hiring a "celebrity" lawyer because the stakes were very high. I decided to stick with the solid results I've seen in the past with Mr. Oleisky and couldn't be more happy with the results. To me it's a clear choice and I would not hesitate to call this guy if I have ANY legal troubles again!

Robert E. Oleisky made me feel very comfortable and confident. I would refer Robert to anyone in the world, whoever I referred him to i know without a doubt that they would be in the best hands and completely satisfied. I was so pleased with his work that it brought me to tears, this comes from the heart of African American.

Wagner, Falconer and Judd, Ltd. helped me very much in my recent case of an unjust terminatinatiin with a company I had been with for almost 2 years. During that same period of time, I saw 7 different score managers come and go with only one if them having effective management skills because he had 21 years experience with the company and was a very effective manager. The large corporation I was a part of had been experiencing tgevresult if the high management turnover and had recently let 400 people go on division and corporate positions. When I was let go, I contacted Wagner, Falconer, and Judd through my Prepaid Legal Program and was put in touch with Lisa, an attorney who provided excellent guidance for what I needed to do to to deal with a trumped up charge of violating company driving rules that actually were false and attempted to decline my unemployment benefit for my post work done on the case where I had received the great work from Lisa ( and also Job Service in Sheboygan. Many thanks to Lisa and the guidance provided by Job Service on what I had to do to receive the compensation I was due. A special thanks to Atty Lisa for the guidance she provided for me to.win my compensation for unjust accusations that my former employer had generated. Many Many thanks and appreciation for her and the legal firms assistance that gave me the knowledge and courage I needed to win!! Thanks very much Lisa and W, F and Judd and Prepaid Legal.

Awful. No communication, No listening, they talk a big game to get you on board and that’s when it falls apart. By and large, they don’t care what the case is. They just want your money.
Mary R was what nightmares are made of when it comes to attorneys. She had zero understanding, refused to communicate, charged me for doing nothing, and I’m unfortunately left with no other option to report not only to my Att Gen but also the Office of Prof Resp.
Bill padding for doing nothing and horrible treatment with zero communication- I will not let this go, I will see this through. Not acceptable at all.
The unprofessional actions of one attorney could end up being a messy situation for the entire firm.
So unprofessional, absolutely the worst experience of my life
They will claim not to know me, but they do

Bottom line, I'm divorced so she did what she was hired to do. Beyond that, my experience was similar to A Cody. My daughter's dad and I agreed on everything and shared this information from the start.
I wanted to have an expert to make sure that everything was "dotted and crossed". It cost a lot of money for me to have to resend information to Ms. Elliot and her assistant, have several phone calls that Ms. Elliot wasn't prepared for, (she didn't have my information available and said her assistant didn't get it to her yet), reviewing the documents prior to filing to see that my home was listed in multiple counties on the same form), etc.
I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV, but I believe that between the county and Elliott Law Offices (ELO), multiple people dropped the ball which caused a several month delay in finalizing the process. Case was filed on 5/7/2024 and on 5/9 court administration sent out a notice of Case Filing & Assignment, which mentioned that a Scheduling Statement is due within 60 days and the Initial Case Management Data Sheet is due no later than 5 days before the scheduled Initial Case Management Conference. The case sat in this status until I called the Court Administrator July 1st to see what was needed, so I could reach out to ELO. Turns out they had everything they needed when it was filled in May and voila, we had a court date. I would have thought that someone at ELO would have questioned this in May when they received the document.
Then the night before our hearing, Ms. Elliott reached out to see if I was ready for the hearing. I said something out not being sure what to expect and she said it is standard in cases with a minor child...our daughter is 30. I would have thought my lawyer would know the basics about my case.
For an "easy" case, with no minor children, both parties in agreement, only one lawyer involved, etc. They were still able to bill me for the more than the retainer.
Again, I'm divorced so she did the job she was hired for, but my experience did not show me the amazing side of their office.

Lisa and her staff are amazing. They're competent, communicative, and they know their stuff. They advised me on probable outcomes without over-promising, kept me informed throughout the process, and generally made the process of a divorce far easier than it would have otherwise been.

Dear Reader,
Choosing a lawyer in a divorce is a difficult decision, the outcome of my divorce effected 1) the custody of my two kids, and 2) my financial well being once the dust settles. Most lawyers I interviewed wanted a retainer "NOW!" I went into Lisa's office and I was an absolute mess, being on the side of not wanting a divorce but being forced to file for divorce was the most wretched thing I have ever had to do. I cried my eyes out in her office and explained what was going on, I honest to god was treated like a human and not a dollar sign. Lisa treated me as a friend and heard me out, keeping things very professional reminding me to take some of the unnecessary emotion out of the equation that could effect the outcome. How you handle yourself during this time is crucial in divorce, especially when your family custody and financial well being is on the line.
In my divorce things started out civilly with my now Ex wife, then once money, and her "rich" aunt got involved the claws came out... Lisa was very attentive to the other lawyers antics and she had some excellent alternatives which I never considered when breaking things down and trying to ultimately compromise. They are not in the game of checkers, it is a game of chess.
We ended up going to mediation and the mediator "Dolan Mediation" that's where Lisa found alternatives to me having to give my pension away, the mediator realizing that my medial benefit premiums were not my income (Difference of me paying 400 a month in spousal support vs 0) offering to pay for my children's hockey as a bargaining chip. I got 50/50 custody of my children (wish I had them 100% however I want what's best for the kids).
We have all heard "You get what you pay for" and it holds true with Lisa, she is a very fair priced attorney. I have heard of people going with the cheapest lawyer the find and at the end of the day my children, finances were worth the insurance of having a experienced lawyer who is going to give you the best possible result.
Nobody wins in divorce, its not a glamourous thing, nobody goes into marriage with the person they love the most looking to get divorced. Life happens and sometimes you are dealt a bad hand. The last year has been the worst year of my life times a million. I have started to rebuild and life has gotten substantially better.
After compromising the financials, I didn't have extra money as most people don't after divorce. Lisa worked with me and gave me options of a payment plan as well as waiting until I refinance my house so that I could pay off most of my debts.
I wrote this review because Lisa Elliot did a great job and the outcome that was most important to me came to fruition. That being said during the worst time of my life, I had someone who worked very hard for me and treated me with compassion and looked out for the best interest for my children and myself. I also want to let people who are faced divorce: With time you do heal, things get better. My best friend gave me a saying that helped me out and it is "The sun will rise tomorrow" meaning no matter what sh** you have faced and no matter how bad things get, the sun will rise tomorrow. Pray about it, make good decisions (don't bury yourself in the bottle), and try to take the high road... You will never regret taking the high road, things come back around on their own to people who lie, cheat, and are dishonest. I hope this review helps, I am sorry for what you're going through, remember "The sun will rise tomorrow"
Thank you Lisa,
Regards,
Daniel H.

Dan has represented me for 2 DUI cases. I couldn't thank him enough for helping me through everything. He was great at communicating to me exactly what was going on and what we were looking at in terms of consequences. He saved me from doing any jail time and got me off with just an ankle monitor. Honestly, I could not be any happier with my results and wouldn't have been able to do any of this without him. I would recommend him to anyone needing an attorney.

I have worked with several lawyers for various situations over the years with owning a business. But can honestly say that Justin Boschwitz and Peter Kaiser with Moss & Barnett have been the two best I have worked. They are down to earth and it doesn't feel like the classic lawyer - client relationship I have had before or is stereotypical. They have helped me with both positive and unfortunate business situations and guided me along the way. I would highly recommend them, SKOL!

How much money did Brian Rice remove from the Technimar Scandal? Will you now admit, Mr. Rice, that you had a fiduciary responsibility as the Minneapolis Police Pension Fund lost Millions of dollars.

If you want an attorney that doesn't do anything that you want and wastes a ton of time doing it, then billing you for it....this is your guy. Very weak in motivation to actually put effort into a case. Good luck!

I hired Steven Coon because I have been in a deportation situation since I was accused to brakes the OFP of the mother of my children.
After four years of fight in court, Steven has been able to prove that I wasn’t an abusive person and that the mother of my kids didn’t need an OFP.
Steven had always give me right recommendations and take the time for my case.
He has been able to direct me to the right person that I need like anger manager and immigration attorney.
I definitely recommend Steven Coon if you need any help and good advice from a criminal attorney.
Good job and thank you Steven

Mr Coon was good enough for my situation. He counseled , predicted, and then executed. My case was pretty much straight forward. He gave me worst case scenarios, and what it would look like if everything just worked in my favor. Which ended up working all in my favor.
The only thing that I can say that I didn’t like was the communication. I have yet to meet this bright lawyer in person, but he did what he said he was going to do and I appreciate him

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.
