I first hired Ken over 20 yrs ago. He was always very professional, punctual & attentive. He also was kind, comforting & reassuring. This man works magic in the courtroom! Legal dealings are never fun but I can guarantee you there’s not a better man to have represent you than Ken. Read the great article in the RFT his face graced the cover of:) I’m glad I was fortunate enough to have him represent me numerous time before I got on a better path. 20+ yrs & 2 kids later, now I’d want no one else to represent me!

Ken and I are drag bike racing buddies and he seen I was in wreck and messaged me and helped me over the phone deal with my insurance over my fair market value of my vehicle. All his knowledge and how he told me to speak etc was on point and had them lost when the negotiations was going on. I received a fair market value of my vehicle and appreciate Ken for all his help.

This firm is phenomenal! Paige was my lawyer. She is amazing as far as I'm concerned. She is smart, relatable, genuinely cares about her clients...plus, she's a fabulous attorney who knows her stuff!!!!
I very much appreciate all the hard work and dedication she and Sam put into my civil rights lawsuit.
Throughout my life I have had to hire attorneys for various situations. Never have I had an attorney who truly kept me informed. She did so much more than that though. She went over and above! She guided me and was just a pleasure to work with. I know where I am going if I ever need an attorney again and I will always recommend their services to anyone who asks!
If you want attorneys who will truly fight for you this is the firm for you!

I highly recommend Paige Sparks. She provided reassurance, developed a plan and communicated well with my legal matter. Prior to calling her other lawyers were using worse case scenarios, and generally trying to scare me. I am thankful for her honesty, and would definately use her for legal matters in the future.

I had servers probation violations and was getting know where in live besides inside jails and prisons. The judge had enough of me a order a fugitive warrant. I ended calling serval lawyers that said to turn yourself in and I couldn’t help you with the case. I thought for sure I would end up back in prison and when I get out return into my old habits. Then I called Will he said he could help me and he 100 percent did. He saved my life I fixed going back to my old ways and he got the warrant taken care of. Where I didn’t have to see a day in jail nor start my probation over. I followed his advice and it changed my life for the better. If your looking for an attorney don’t look no further, Will is the person to contact because he’s not only a attorney he’s a person who cares about what happens to his clients. Thank you Will

Mr. Goldstein is one of the best lawyers I have ever had the pleasure to deal with. It was the worse situation I could have on my record and would result in termination of my employment. I am a very honest person which made his job more difficult when we went to court. I don't know how, but he was able to save my job due to an over site he found in the case. If you need a great attorney, Will Goldstien is your guy. I couldn't thank him enough. I know what lawyer I will use if I ever need one again. Thanks Again!!!

I knew my son was facing a very serious charge, I paid 20,000 for representation that I feel a public defender could have done. I felt like he absolutely did not fight for my son at all, whatever the prosecutor said , is what it was. My son has never been in any type of trouble, and any time I would mention anything with his case that I looked up on my own he would say oh that doesn’t apply to his case. My son was never showed any evidence that they supposedly had against him. Communication with the attorney was not the best, he would respond when it was convenient. I was told after the case was over, if you ever have any questions feel free to reach out, I did and never heard back from him. I guess after getting his money, his job was done…. Don’t say reach out with questions if you know you’re not going to keep your word. He had me believing the whole time he would do all he could to help my son, he still got screwed in the end.

My case involved several delays that were likely not directly anyone's fault, up to and, very literally, including the weather. In the end, Mr. Christie was able to get me a better result than I expected. I'm a free man. I thank him for his efforts and recommend hiring him.

Chris Doskocil is the best attorney I've ever interacted with, and stands out against the stereotypes of lawyers. I had a small claims case that never should have went to court. Chris tried to remedy it before he'd even accept payment, and then diligently pursued the case despite how petty it had become. Ultimately, he won both the initial petition and had the frivolous countersuit dismissed, not only proving our case, but doing some last-minute research to defend my family against the bogus countersuit. I fully intend to work with Chris next time I need legal assistance. Best lawyer I've ever worked with!

I had never met Chris before, but I was in need of family law lawyer to represent me at a upcoming court hearing , with a judge in Hillsboro , which I was dreading going to. I google searched and Chris.
After calling explaining my situation to him , he reassured me he would be there to represent me, and basically to relax and let him handle it .
Not only did he handle the legal aspect of it all, but he did it in a manner that I did not even have to appear in court. He was very thorough, detailed, respectful, and very efficient with his time
( and my money).
He has a ,"Can Do" attitude , which I really liked. I would HIGHLY recommend Chris , and I will be hiring him again if the need arises.

Like myself I’m sure most of you can appreciate an honest lawyer who’s going to be transparent and tell you what’s best for YOU and not what’s best for their wallet. Andrew was very honest with me when discussing the options that worked best for my family and financial situation. He didn’t pressure me, he allowed me adequate time to explain my situation, he listened attentively, and ultimately made me feel secure about a situation that was completely new territory to me. Highly recommend!

This was the first time I needed an attorney, and thanks to him my case was cleanly resolved in a beneficial way. I hired his services and, when I met him in person, he was very forthcoming with all the information I needed. I'm glad I hired him for this case and I would gladly employ his services again, should I need them.

It was my first time needing the services of an attorney. I had no idea where to begin so I looked on Yelp. MRD Lawyers had the highest ratings so I made an appt. I met with Russ Dempsey. He was fantastic. He clearly explained my options and how the legal process would go. He took the time to answer all if my questions. The fee was very reasonable in fact much lower than others. In court Russ was very capable and everything went exactly as he explained. I absolutely never write reviews. I was so impressed with not only Russ but his office staff as well. You absolutely cannot go wrong with MRD Lawyers.

I could not have been more pleased with choosing Russell Dempsey as my attorney in my legal matters! We met once to discuss my case and he clearly explained all of the possible outcomes. I was hopeful for the best, but prepared for the worst. In the end he was able to get the whole case dismissed and everything went better than I could have expected. I am very grateful to Russell and highly recommend his services! :)

Mr. Hardin represented me and my case against AAA Insurance group for a car accident I was involved in on April 20th 2015. He was very personable and professional in all my meetings with him. As we all know the insurance companies are in business to make money and when it comes to paying for damages they are very hard to deal with. Steve helped me through the case and successfully helped me to settle with them and get the compensation I had coming to me.

I hired Ryan for a DWI charge and I was terrified for the process that was ahead of me. Ryan was professional, prompt, and explained everything in terms that I could understand. When we were going over my case on my initial consult I became tearful and he got up real quick to go get me tissues. Very nice! He knew I was so ashamed of myself and how embarrassed I was to have done something like this and he was extremely kind and took such a sensitive approach. Everything was done is such a timely manner. I don't know if Ryan gets to view this or not, but thank you for everything!

Over the past 20 years, our family has hired Mr. Shalowitz for numerous cases including personal injury, divorce, writing our wills, traffic tickets, and more. He always took our calls right away or returned our calls by the end of the business day. We have always been satisfied with the outcome of our cases. When other lawyers wanted to charge us out the Wazoo so they could line their pockets, Mr. Shalowitz tried to settle the case from the get-go knowing how these cases usually turn out. Only an experienced, ethical, and loyal attorney would do this. It seems that nowadays lawyers just want to continue the litigation so they can make more money. Fortunately, Mr. Shalowitz is not one of those Lawyers. Why can’t all lawyers be like him?

She guided us step-by-step through the entire process, always keeping us informed and ensuring that everything was clear. Her attention to detail and dedication made all the difference. The immigration process was smooth and quick. If you’re looking for an immigration lawyer, there’s one for you.

I'm from the Nerherlands and came to the US with my wife who's from here. Greta has smoothly guided me through the immigration process and I have now obtained my visa successfully. She's very supportive and always responded quickly when we had questions. It's clear she's helped many others successfully, as she was able to provide detailed information about every phase in the process which helped us stay calm and feel confident about it all.
Apart from the professionalism, Greta is also an enjoyable person to be around and easy to talk with. We 100% recommend Greta and her firm for anyone seeking information and help with the otherwise cumbersome process of immigrating and obtaining a visa.

He provided context and professional insight for my concerns & assured each questions was answered before the end of the call. In the event someone needs representation in the near future, I’ll advise them to request a consultation with his office!

My journey through the judicial system in Illinois was not easy. My husband was attacked and later died from the injuries. The attacker was charged and after 5 plus years of trial postponements the attacker was acquitted. I couldn't find an attorney that would represent me in the civil suit until I found Luke. Luke took the case knowing it was not a slam dunk. When Joe (the attacker) was acquitted I expected Luke to tell me there was no hope for the civil suit and walk away. Instead Luke searched the court transcripts, connected the dots from the criminal trial and negotiated a settlement for me. During the process Luke kept me informed, he explained the difficulties of the case, what I could expect and really understood how difficult this process was for me. He guided me through the process making sure I didn't settle too soon for too little. The settlement can't bring Don back, nothing can. But now my family and I have closure and we can move forward. Luke, I can't thank you enough for being an excellent attorney and a caring person. Nelka

Luke stepped up to take on my sister's civil suit when her attorney became a judge and no one else was interested in taking on the challenge. The matter was complex and Luke's thoroughness in reviewing the statements and findings resulted in his being able to put together a solid case to win. Further, he guided my sister in the settlement negotiations to be sure she didn't settle too soon for too little. Beyond his legal expertise, Luke was personable and helped my sister through this very emotional period listening to her and guiding you throughout the process. Luke is a true partner from start to finish.

Frank and Rosie have been worth their weight in gold. From the first time I went to see him about 8 years ago until this moment. He talks straight, he tells you what you are facing, and he does his job far above and beyond the amount of monies you pay him. He has filed a chapter 13 for me, and most recently he assisted me in getting my home loan modified. My principal mortgage payment went from $1975.00 reduced to $725.00. Now as he told me there is no guarantee they would approve it, but Ill say this for Frank and Rosie.... if there is a way to do it they will find that path and walk you down it. I had my responsibilities as well to do my part such as when I was contacted to provide documents and information it was paramount to get that info to them ASAP. But, if you seek a attorney who will serve you well this is your stop. Call him or email him NOW!!!

Brian represented me on a couple of bullshit ex-parte violations after my previous attorney (Dylan Thomas in Pineville) had done absolutely nothing but kick it down the road for 19 months, hoping it would disappear.

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.
