I'm going to keep this post short and simple!! I called other attorneys in the area to assist my son with a minor infraction that happened on campus but never signed a contact because it just didn't seem right. My anxiety was on an all time high...it was the holiday weekend in 2023( Thanksgiving) and I called Darren Drakes office and left a message not expecting a call back but Kellie called me back and I'm thankful she did!! She was/is amazing and was easy to talk too!! Darren is hands down the best!! Thank you guys for everything!! If you need help definitely call them!!

I was in need of legal counsel and called Mr. Rexroat, I can’t stress how helpful he was to my situation. He made me feel like his number one priority and I would highly recommend them if you’re ever in need of help with your case.

Attorney Michael Rexroat is the GOAT (greatest of all times). He was professional and considerate of our circumstances. He tailors his services to the unique, individual needs of the client! He made us feel like a priority. He had handled our case before we even got to court. I felt as if he valued our time, we didn’t have to wait all day! I’m very appreciative and most definitely recommend him to anyone!!!!!

I highly recommend Mr. Scott Kimberly to anyone in need of exceptional legal representation, especially regarding child custody matters. He has been an invaluable asset in championing my son's custody rights. His adeptness in cross-examination, direct approach, and unwavering work ethic have played a pivotal role in addressing the injustices my son encountered within the legal system.
Mr. Kimberly is not only dedicated to securing favorable outcomes for his clients but also prioritizes ethical practices and “refrains from exploiting them financially.”
His commitment to his clients' welfare extends beyond legal representation; as a father himself, he genuinely advocates for the best interests of the children involved.
If you're in search of a lawyer who will fervently uphold fathers' rights and relentlessly pursue justice, Mr. Kimberly is unquestionably the right choice. I am deeply grateful for his expertise, dedication, and unwavering support throughout this painful and challenging journey for our son, grandchildren and extended family.

I was referred to Scott from a mutual friend that we share. In the time of beginning the process of divorcing it was clear that I need representation and help to ensure I received what was fair to me under the law. When I first met him he made sure to come up, introduce himself and say "We are going to make sure you are taken care of."
Any question I had about documentation, process, language was answered and explained while going through the 5 month process to reach the finish line. If you want the best, look no further.

John Drake went above and beyond for my case! He got the very best deal for me and out of 11 total criminal charges of theft, he got all of them dismissed and expunged from my record! I cannot express enough gratitude and and elation I feel of how hard he worked for me! It was definitely not an easy case and I 100% recommend anyone needing an attorney in criminal defense to consult John!

My husband and I hired Jordan to represent us in a lawsuit that had us very concerned. Jordan sat down with us and explained the situation and told us he would work hard for us and get us the best deal he could. He absolutely did that and more. We were so excited and thrilled with how everything turned out. My son worked with Jordan in the end and he told me that everything would be find because Jordan really knew what he was doing. We certainly made the right decision to hire Jordan. Best money we ever spent!

After searching all over for an attorney to represent me in a civil matter, I was referred to Jordan by another local attorney. Jordan was great at being honest and straight forward. A very "down to earth" attorney that I highly respect for his honesty. He was able to relate to my frustration, I trust him because I was not just his client but I felt like a person that he did all he could to help. Jordan resolved the situation outside of court which saved me tons of stress. I highly recommend him and I will personally hire him again

When you engage Chase and his peers at WSK Law you’re getting more than a lawyer- you’re getting what you really need, an advocate and a skilled team. There are plenty of lawyers and law “firms”, there are few lawyers who are advocates and backed by a skilled team. Chase has a clear knowledge of the law, coupled with a clear passion for it, which will serve you well if you retain him and his team.

We had an on-going issue with a neighbor that worked for the county and other lawyers did not want to take our case due to the office he held. We explained to Nathan about the bullying of our neighbor over a real estate easement and he took care of the issue without going to court even though our neighbor had obtained a lawyer. Way to go Nathan Luna. Thank you so much!

Unfortunately, l Inadvertently got myself into trouble. Finding an attorney was a difficult task especially due to the nature of my background. Stumbled upon Mr.Judkins to which l am VERY glad l did. Mr.Judkins, took on my case & shortly l was to be in court. Mr.Judkins, went to bat for me. The charge went from a felony to a Misdemeanor with community service/ court cost. Given the circumstances of my past charges, l couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. I would retain his services ANYTIME AGAIN. I highly recommend Mr.Judkins! Thank you Mr.Judkins! Tony.M

I was served with a frivolous Order of Protection by my sister, which risked fracturing my entire family. These actions are difficult to defend and judges rarely dismiss such orders. However, thanks to Barbara's diligence, professionalism, and aggressive legal work, the judge ruled unconditionally in my favor, dismissing the entire claim. Justice was served for my entire family, and for that I am immeasurably grateful to Barbara Futter.

David was excellent from the start. He informed me of the best and worst case scenarios and gave me his expert advice on how he thought we should approach my case with the best results. I ended up getting the best results in my case and I owe it all to David Hopkin's expert advise and knowledge. He listened to my concerns and I am more than pleased with his representation of me and my case and would more than strongly recommend him to anyone needing a lawyer.

Trouble came knocking on a Saturday afternoon. I was scared and needed advice. But it was Saturday. I used Avvo to locate a lawyer in my area. I selected David based on his breadth of practice and sent a contact request. I figured it would be Tuesday before I received a response, since Monday was the MLK holiday. My mind was racing and I was preparing to take action on my own. David returned my contact request on a Sunday in the middle of a holiday weekend. We consulted and he put my mind at rest. I now had an expert opinion as to the severity of the issue and what action I needed to take. I am now planning to discuss our entire family's legal needs with David.

Lisa was absolutely awesome helping us finalize my familys estate. Lisa also helped us out with dome legal matters in another county and did a great job on a personal injury matter. Lisa is intelligent and professional. I would definetly recommend hiring her for all your legal matters.

Lisa handled a complicated divorce for me with excellent results. When we initially went to court after being sued Lisa Eischeid was very well prepared, identified the key issues in dispute, the evidence and the weaknesses in the plaintiff's case. In a venue which almost always favors the plaintiff, she was great for the defense and the results were extremely favorable. The plaintiff fired her lawyer finally and her new lawyer apparently knew better than to face Lisa Eischeid in court. Because getting results in the court room, in the end this resulted in a fair and very reasonable settlement for the defense.
It was a very stressful life event that took almost a year to resolve but Lisa Eischeid is all business, she took care of all the details for me. I was very pleased with the results. A very competent attorney. Highly recommended.

As a military veteran it was hard for me to find a trusted partner capable of protecting my family’s interests. After interviewing several attorneys, I decided to trust my personal brand and reputation with Heather Parker. Heather’s office has the right blend of expertise and office support, which when mixed together created the best-value for my legal spend. In the matter Heather was retained for, I was incredibly pleased when Heather achieved a decisive victory for my family. My legal victory was due to Heather’s analytical capabilities, combined with her incredibly strong community relationships. Unlikely other attorneys I have hired in the past, Heather & her team fully focused on maximizing the quality of service and my outcome rather than maximizing a bill. In the legal industry price is what you pay, and value is what you get. In Murfreesboro, Heather is a great, top performing, attorney. To Heather and Team, I genuinely appreciate the time and effort you dedicated to my legal matter. What a great victory! Thank you!

Chris can bring humor to a serious situation that can be scary for anyone---facing felony criminal charges. He kept me informed at all times, gave excellent advice, and kept me smiling in spite of the situation I was in. He is very knowledgeable and an expert in many areas of law. Unlike many lawyers, he treats and talks to you like you are on his level, because to him, you are.

Ryan represented me in a custody action that took close to two years and eventual trial to remedy. Through all of that time, he was attentive and always returned calls or emails in a timely manner. His counsel was always well thought out and accurate.
I'm very glad that I was led to Ryan for the legal action against me. I would be glad to use him in the future for any other legal needs.

After my husband was involved in a car accident, we initially began dealing with the auto insurance company on our own. Quickly we realized that they were not going to take care of us nor provide adequate reimbursement due to the collision. While I was reluctant to hire an attorney, I am truly glad I found Robert Bragdon who is a local personal injury lawyer. He’s not one of those guys you see on TV. He’s a real lawyer with compassion and understanding which translates to effective communication throughout the entire process and more than a satisfactory end result. A great choice!

We lost my sister in August and had do an emergency visit to tn to take care of things. I was coming from nc and my mom was coming from ny. I just happened to come across Mr.Bennett through Google and since then they have been nothing but great. I worked closely with Miss.Karen who was amazing every step of the way. And let me tell you, there were a lot of phone calls and emails. Everytime I had to communicate with them, you could tell they cared. They really make you feel at home and in a way, made it more peaceful with everything else going on. I knew having them, was one less thing I needed to worry about. I know my sister guided us to them. I can't thank them enough for everything they have done and I highly recommend them to anybody and everybody. Thank you all again so much!!

I highly recommend Mr Catron for legal issues!! He may be a "man of few words", but He Really gets the job done...just Listen to what he says regarding the steps you'll take. When my temporary bout of impatience caused me to want to call-in daily, his staff Exemplified Compassion, Patience, and the Reassurance I needed. I have since learned to just have Faith in the process, and that his "Team" is working Diligently. Sam, one of the assistants, is "AMAZING". Together, with Mr Catron at the helm, they have Delivered me Freedom!!--even sooner than expected. My Divorce is Final, and I "Close" on my new mortgage refi on 8 May 24!!! "Yeah Baby" "whoo Hoo"

I contacted Mr. Slager and he was very willing to take my case even though it wasn’t in the county he usually practices in. He was always very upfront and honest of what was being said behind closed doors of the court. I found he had determination and the will to win and never give up. My outcome came out better than I ever thought it would. If you’re looking for a fighter and somebody that will stand by you every step of the way. Then give jon a call and let him help you the same as he did me. Thank you again Mr. Slager

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.
