Had the audacity to respond TWO MONTHS after I initially contacted them to say they were "unable" to take my case (a simple civil matter). I had clearly found another attorney to work with by the time they responded. Classic "big law" bureaucracy where clients are nothing more than numbers on a screen. I would only contact them as a last resort if you can find no one else to take your case.

I have just gone through a challenging time following a traumatizing, tragic auto/motorcycle accident that led to 14 months of legal proceedings, culminating in a trial at Concord District Court in October 2024. I was charged with vehicular assault as a Class A misdemeanor, which could have resultedin a year in jail, significant fines, and more. Ted Lothstein was recommended to me by lawyer friends of my brother who were familiar with his work.
From the very beginning, Ted demonstrated a strong belief in my understanding of the accident. Over the months we worked together, which included a fatality hearing at the DMV, he was consistently responsive to my questions and concerns. His explanations were clear, and he communicated quickly and compassionately. Ted dedicated considerable time to phone calls, often including my brother, to discuss my case and help us navigate the process.
Ted was clear in stating the various possible outcomes and the various timelines I could expect for receiving decisions. He provided honest assessments of the most likely results and outlined his strategy for the trial in case the judge ruled against me.
His preparation for both the DMV hearings and the district court trial was thorough. He shared with me through either, or both, emails and phone conversations, all the communication he was having with the judge, prosecutor, and hearing officer. He was prepared at both the hearing and trial with his arguments and crucial evidence, including videos of the cyclist prior to the accident as well as the accident itself. Additionally, he had maps to help clarify the scene of the accident.
Furthermore, he hired an exceptionally experienced accident reconstructionist and maintained communication both with him and a key witness who had provided dashcam footage. Ted invested significant time in preparing both witnesses for the DMV hearing and the trial. During the trial, I was particularly impressed by his questioning of all witnesses. He was respectful to everyone I felt.
Ultimately, I was found not guilty. I highly recommend Ted for his skills, hard work, responsiveness, professionalism, communication abilities, organization, preparedness, dedication, and compassion.

I was represented by attorney Doty in an administrative matter before a licensing board. She was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and diligent in her work to obtain the best possible outcome and help me with my situation. She made sure to word things in a way that felt natural to me but also never strayed into gray areas. She took the time to understand my situation and made sure to represent it honestly and factually. She is honest and above board, and I'd recommend her in a heartbeat.

Attorney Ted Lothstein was incredibly diligent in helping me achieve the best possible outcome for my case. He was quick to answer and return my calls and never made me feel judged or culpable. As an out of state DUI, he was very knowledgeable on all the workings and proceedings of my situation and I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking good legal counsel.
Thanks Ted

In September 2024, I received notice of a professional ethics complaint against my medical license before the New Hampshire Office of Professional Licensure and Certification (OPLC). I retained Attorney Doty and her team to represent me in what was essentially a civil ethics matter. By November 2024,Attorney Doty had successfully negotiated a settlement that preserved my professional standing and left no significant marks on my record.
Throughout the process, Attorney Doty was exceptionally helpful, maintaining clear and consistent communication. She promptly returned my phone calls and emails, keeping me up-to-date every step of the way. More importantly, her and her team's careful handling of the case ensured the matter was resolved within the terms of her initial retainer, reflecting both efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
I am grateful for the outstanding service and outcome delivered by Attorney Doty, and I would highly recommend her to anyone facing a similar professional licensing challenge.

Leonard is incredibly professional and will work hard for your best interest and outcome. The judge even complemented him about his professionalism in the way he presented his court paperwork. Len is thorough and will take his time answering all questions and concerns that you have. He was able to help me reduce my initial aggravated DWI down to a first time offense. Without a doubt Leonard is definitely someone you want on your team representing you.

One never expects to suddenly need a lawyer. When we did, we didn't know where to turn. We researched prayed and came across Jerome and thank God we did. He was with us through the entire process, answered questions and allayed our anxiety. That was key, putting things in perspective and providing a sense of normalcy while things went through the covid delayed system. We cannot be more thankful and grateful of the outcome.
Thankyou Jerome

Was charged with a felony and a misdemeanor. I lost many rights that I once had prior to the charges. I emphasized the importance of getting all my property back and regaining my rights. He handled it as I asked and got me exactly what I wanted as an outcome. It was a long process but largely due to “Covid” and the courts shutting down. He was on top of every aspect. When I I had questions or concerns he answered back immediately. I would hire him in a second in the event I need to in the future ( I have no intention of needing to). Can’t say enough good things about him. I even got a refund check at the end for remaining funds not used!!!
Thank you again Jerome!

Eric got me out of a DUI about 5 years ago. I refused the breath test, so they had no accurate level of alcohol intake. (That’s your right as a NH citizen). He got me wreckless driving, which is a speeding fine essentially and I paid $500 to the court. AMAZING LAWYER!!!!

I was charged with a dui and defective equipment. I refused the FST and blood test which comes with an automatic 180 day license suspension. I had a video of the encounter with the Hudson police. Eric helped me win my ALS hearing and keep my license. He then was able to get the prosecutor to drop the dui and I plead guilty to the defective equipment and paid a fine. I will recommend Eric to anyone that is in trouble. I hope I never need him again but if I do I know I'm in good hands.

I reached out to Tim Bush when my son was in trouble, facing felonious charges. Attorney Bush sat with us and listened to my son’s circumstances, taking the time required to listen to everything my son had to say. Attorney Bush told my son what his plan of action was and even spent some time to speak with him about making good decisions as a young man. Attorney Bush is very professional, will fight to get you the best result and genuinely cares about his clients. I would highly recommend Attorney Bush and am very grateful for all he did for my son.

I had an amazing experience with Tony Naro at Naro Law he did an amazing job helping my case. It was a long process for me but Tony gave me suggestions that I took and worked hard in my personal life and we got the outcome we were looking for from the state. I don’t think it would have been possiblewithout Tony he went above and beyond for me and defended me in my case very well and I was very impressed. He is all around a good guy and helped guide me to a better path and actually cared for me and all I can say is I would highly recommend his service if you are in need for a criminal defense lawyer!!

On several occasions, Tony Naro's advice and counsel have proven invaluable to me and my family. He understands the nuances of law and how it differs across states, is a terrific coach for courtroom appearances, and has a vast referral network to connect you with services he doesn't offer himself. Hehas advised me on child guardianship, parental rights, and estate planning matters (via an excellent referral). He's also down to earth, savvy, warm, and makes you feel confident without feeling confrontational. Highly recommended.

As a MA resident being charged with a DUI in NH, it was important to me that I found an attorney who I could trust and who was familiar with the local law and NH courts. After several days of research and reading reviews, I booked an appointment with Andrew. Andrew and Renee (his paralegal) were both extremely knowledgeable about the entire process and the paces I was about to go through. They listened attentively to the details of my case and believed in me right away. I had been wrongly charged but Andrew was very candid, on what the law is, what would apply and what would not and promised me he would do everything he could (under law) to investigate the evidence on my behalf. Renee and Andrew kept me informed of everything that was going on and my case was handled in an extremely timely manner. Andrew delivered and exceeded my expectations. I was not charged with a DUI and I did not lose my license or rights to drive in NH or MA. I can't thank him enough for believing in me and making this very unpleasant situation essentially go away. I would recommend Andrew to anyone who is looking for a true expert in law and who will provide the consultation in an easy to understand manner.

Andrew Cotrupi saved my life. While that might sound overstated, it is 100% true. I was maliciously charged with a Class B Felony by a local police department for a crime I did not commit. I originally hired a different lawyer and after several months of working with that firm I was faced with the stark reality that the system was not working as I always imagined it would and that I could very well be going to jail for a long time. My former attorney was looking to just negotiate a deal but I couldn't stomach taking a plea deal when I did not commit a crime. Desperate, I sought the advice of a trusted friend who turned me on to Attorney Cotrupi. From our very first meeting, Attorney Cotrupi and his Paralegal Renee treated me like a human being and not a criminal which was a welcome change after the treatment I had been receiving. Andrew listened. He REALLY listened to me and he talked me off the ledge. I hired him on the spot. Over the course of the year he worked diligently and fought for me like I was part of his own family. He worked tirelessly on my behalf, filing motions, counter motions and defending me vigorously. As my trial date approached, he met with me as often as I needed to prepare me. He was the perfect combination of tough love, sound advice and compassion. My trial lasted for three days if you include jury selection. I was terrified and in uncharted waters but Andrew guided me through. Sometimes he would have to lean over and tell me to relax because I was looking like a lunatic. Other times he would put a reassuring hand on my shoulder. His opening statement was brilliant. His cross-examinations exposed the "rehearsed lies and stories" and his closing statement captivated the jury. In the end, the jury deliberated for a mere 20 minutes before returning a "Not Guilty" verdict. 20 minutes! After a year of having my world thrown upside down and having a prosecution trying to make me into something I was not, Andrew was able to dismantle the case and gave me my life back. He was truly a God-send for my family and I. Because of his work, I will be able to go back to raising my four young children. Andrew is not only an amazing lawyer, he is an honest, fair and good man. I will forever be indebted to him and would recommend him to anyone.

Going through any court process can be stressful,especially without proper representation. When I decided to start looking for an Attorney,Kalled Law offices was the first name that popped up. I called and immediately had a response.Following that response I was scheduled for a consultation,very quickly. Going into the consultation as a young mom looking for help I was initially nervous. I knew what I wanted and needed someone who would listen,give me solid advice and answers. When I arrived at the office and spoke with Katrina those nerves went away,I felt almost at home in the office. Katrina was helpful,consistent and calm. Then I had the pleasure of talking with Attorney John Kalled,who very early on I knew was listening,taking in the information I was splurging out and already solving the issues in his head. Attorney Kalled was also very calm and collected in his advice and answers,very caring and made me feel as though he wanted what was best for not only my child but me as well. I went in looking for an Attorney and a team that would fight with pride and determination, all of the individuals at this office met those expectations. The response time between contact with this team is incredibly fast,after court hearings Attorney Kalled would call me seconds after the hearing ended to check with me and make sure I understood exactly what happened. (Because of covid-19 all of our court proceedings ended up being moved to phone in court hearings) Attorney Kalled would explain simply what everything meant and answered any questions I had. I am so thankful for this team of individuals,who worked hard,who always remained respectful and caring. If you are looking for a team, an Attorney who will really have your best interest in their mind,and deliver what you ask for,I would recommend this firm without hesitation every time! What an easy experience all of them made this!

My experience with Kalled Law Offices was excellent, beginning to end. I reached out to their office to inquire about representing me in a difficult situation and I received a very prompt reply. After my initial consultation with Attorney Kalled it was clear to me that his experience, knowledge and professionalism were what I was going to need. From that meeting until the resolution of my case Attorney Kalled and his staff were extremely thorough, communicative, accommodating, professional and effective. I am happy with the resolution to my legal matter, with the swiftness it was reached and therefore also with the value I received. Retaining the services of Kalled Law Offices was a very strong choice for me and I would recommend doing the same!

Attorney Markell represented me in my divorce and custody litigation. My case involved interstate issues, including Jurisdiction provoked by repeated petitions filed in another state during the divorce proceeding in an attempt to disrupt and delay the process. This case was highly contentious, and irreparable conflict existed between me and my ex. Attorney Markell proved to be an exceptional attorney. His knowledge, diligence, patience, guidance, and integrity resulted in the withdrawals of multiple opposing attorneys during my litigation and the Judge "throwing the Book" at my ex in my favor. No smoke and mirrors, hidden interests, or quid pro quo. He is an ethical attorney who works diligently and will explain complex statutes in meaningful and tangible ways to his clients.

I'm so glad I found Attorney Arnold. It was just an online search and sometimes you get lucky. Patrick is responsive, patient, and thorough. He explains issues and any legal implications in as much (or little) detail as one requires. I have a tenant problem (lack of rent payments, refusal to leave) that is still ongoing. At our first court hearing, Patrick got them to sign and honor an agreement to start paying immediately and to leave by a certain date. I'm happy to report that they DID make payments and they DID vacate the premises. I would not have been able to accomplish this on my own. My case continues, as there is still an issue of prior monies owed, but I'm very confident that a satisfactory resolution will be reached. Not only is Patrick extremely well-versed in the law and comfortable with the negotiations, but he was able to get my tenants OFF their BUTTS and he did it at an extremely affordable rate. I could not be happier with his services and highly enourage hiring him for your appropriate legal needs.

If you are reading this review because you are considering Patrick Arnold as your choice for legal representation I strongly recommend that you hire him and read this review. I was facing a possible 5 to 7 year prison sentence. To be honest things were looking pretty bleak. The County Attorney's Office was looking to play hardball but Patrick never even broke a sweat. The entire time Patrick remained upbeat and professional and looked at every single angle of the case. As for the outcome thanks to Patrick's diligence and leaving no stone unturned the DA's office went from offering me three years in prison with five years of probation as their initial plea offer to dismissing the charges entirely. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that if I had tried to represent myself or I didn't have Patrick's considerable attention to detail and no-nonsense approach to getting things done I would be sitting in a prison cell right now. Patrick also managed to do all of this while keeping my considerable levels of anxiety in check because he had a level of confidence in our case that made me feel completely at ease. Thank you so much Patrick!

I have been acquainted with attorney Brian Snow for 15+ years. He became my lawyer when I was running a business. He not only improved my contracts by adding necessary clauses and making them air tight, he was also there for me whenever a legal matter arose. Several years later he handled my divorce which was a very emotional ordeal. He was understanding, patient and once again took charge of what was needed to be done. And lastly, he helped me with the ordeal regarding the sale of my house. There were multiple problems that occurred and he was there to answer my questions, intervene with other lawyers and the real estate agents, offer support, and humor. The positive outcome was due to his hard work and diligence. There is no other person that I would use to handle any legal issues. His knowledge of the law is excellent but for me what has really made the difference is that he treats me with respect and cares about my well-being. He is the kind of lawyer, all lawyer should esteem to become.

By far, Attorney LaFrance from start to finish with my divorce case was extremely professional, well-detailed, informative, understanding and supportive.
Communication was also top-notch with Attorney LaFrance.
Clearly one can tell that Attorney LaFrance provides the respectful amount of attention, takes the time to listen and provide effective feedback in a very timely manner.

Patricia (Patti) LaFrance esq. Is an amazing attorney. She did a very nice job laying out exactly what my expectations should be during my divorce. She quickly ascertained the nature of my case and the unique challenges that I was left to deal with. She is particularly well versed and known for her advocacy in domestic violence cases. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised when our Judge knew her by first name and referred to her work when she was with the prosecutors office. The judge certainly seemed to value her legal arguments and opinions. Needless to say I got a more-than fair result in my divorce. If I should ever be in the unfortunate need for an attorney then Patti is the very first person I am going to call. Thank you Patti for your incredible effort. It made a big difference for my children and myself.

Patricia was hired to assist in appealing a denied claim filed with our insurance carrier for a large employee theft that occurred at my company. I had been battling back and forth for well over a year with our carrier before dismissing our current attorney and hiring Patricia. Patricia had the issue resolved for us within a couple months and our claim was paid in full. She has also been assisting us with the ongoing criminal investigation of the former employee and has been instrumental in keeping a very slow process moving forward. Patricia is personal, smart and extremely competent. I'd highly recommend hiring her for your legal matters.

Attorney Vincent Marconi, Jr. was my last hope for a contentious, ugly and stressful divorce and I am happy to say things worked out in my favor! He was always looking out for my best interest. He constantly kept me up to date with my case and communicated with me so that I'd understand the laws and what the outcomes would be. I never had to play phone tag with him or wait forever for him to call me back. I never felt ignored or felt I was just another paying client. He is trustworthy, fair, professional, and really listened to my concerns. I felt like I was a valued client. I have retained him for other matters, including domestic violence, DUI, and landlord cases. I feel 100 percent confident having him as my attorney!

John and his team are amazing! As a 21 year old at the time- I had been the passenger in a car accident resulting in some serious injuries. After 4 months of getting absolutely no where with the insurance company, I decided to start looking around for lawyers. BBCRD (johns firm) had been recommended to me by my father, I sent in a free consultation email, and John responded almost immediately. I went in to meet with him (after doing research on him of course) and he was so helpful and understanding- he himself had been through a similar situation in his life so he was prepared to help me. I hired him to be my lawyer, it took almost a year and a half to settle but John and his team were absolutely amazing. I had no idea what I was doing, he walked me through everything that was going to happen, he responded to all my emails promptly, he never made me feel stupid and he was just unbelievably helpful. He fought and got me an amazing settlement and I don’t know what I would’ve done without him. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS MAN!!! He is worth it! He goes above and beyond.

We needed to find a qualified attorney who was knowledgeable about possession of alcohol by a minor in the state of NH. Not being a NH resident, we searched online and spoke with several attorneys. It was very clear after discussing our situation with John that he was, by far, the best choice. We were extremely pleased with his breadth of knowledge, experience, concern, personal attention and availability while the case was ongoing. His advice was spot on and our case was resolved to our total satisfaction. We highly recommend him.

And proved to the court exactly what my granddaughters best interests where. She did what she said she would do and we will never forget her saving our granddaughter from a life of horror. We are so grateful to have met Kim !!!

I was charged with transporting alcohol, transportation of controlled drug and possession of controlled drug. This was a big problem as I planned to go to school and a criminal charge would have hurt my career. I was trying to help a friend who was too drunk to drive. Alcohol and drugs belonged to friend. Attorney Tighe was able to convince the prosecutor to drop drug charges. I ended up with a relatively violation level alcohol charge with no criminal record . Attorney Tighe was most professional and competent a great NH lawyer.

I was being charged with felony possession of a drug which could have seriously affected my college financial aid. If convicted I was also looking at possible jail time. So I went online and found Attorney Kevin Tighe. Since a criminal charge is something that I am unfamiliar with I wasn't too sure what questions to ask and what to do next.
Attorney Tighe was great, he even loaned me a suit jacket for my court appearance. He explained beforehand everything that would happen and what my choices would be. He was always good about returning my calls and very professional. In the end I ended up facing no jail time and Mr Tighe even worked out some payment terms for the small fine that I received. I would recommend him 110% to anyone needing a lawyer who is honest, incredibly supportive, and highly competent.

Bill was very knowledgable about the applicable law and able to strategically interact with opposing council resulting in a positive outcome for my case. Through Bill's excellent communications I learned that patience is key and that legalease doesn't usually mean what a laymen like me thought it did. So if you are navigating through stormy legal waters make Bill the captain of your boat.

I hired Attorney Worsley to take on my case which was turned down by many attorneys (7) in the northeast due to the complexity of the cases involved. Fact is she was up against a Family Law Attorney who's office is in Lowell Massachusetts. With Attorney Worley's expertise we were well armed in the courtrooms to handle the criminal and domestic charges that were filed against my X husband. With class Attorney Worsley professionally tore him and his Attorney apart in the courtroom. Attorney Worsley stood up for what was right, she defended myself and my 3 daughters with professionalism. Because of Attorney Worsley's brilliant courtroom expertise she had won on every level in each of the hearings in the Merrimack District Court, putting to shame our opponent. As I sit here today I cant help but think what an amazing job she had done for my 3 daughters and myself. We are free from his abuse and lies. we no longer live in constant fear. My daughters and I can sleep peacefully now thanks to Attorney Worsley.
Thank you Attorney Worsley for giving my daughters and myself a peaceful and happy life.

Brent made the complex process of applying for U.S. permanent residency much more manageable. He was patient, thorough, and took the time to answer all of our questions (of which there were many!). We recommend working with Brent for any immigration needs that you might have - his years of experience and familiarity with USCIS processes are second to none.

Brent has been an invaluable asset and advocate for myself and my husband throughout our entire immigration journey. We began working with Mr. Poirier during early 2020 and are just finishing up with him now as we await the naturalization oath ceremony. Brent's knowledge and advice is worth its weight in gold. He prepared seamless applications for us and was always available and reachable for any question—big or small. Do yourself a favor and hire a professional to navigate the road to immigration and citizenship with you; it will save you the most precious resource of all, your time. Thank you Brent and God bless!

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.
