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.

John accomplished more than I expected on my case. I was thrilled with the outcome and it took much less time than expected. I hope I will not need him again but I highly recommend him to anyone who has a driving issue in NH.

We hired Kim for a custody case for our 2 year old Granddaughter , after some other lawyer we had screwed everything up . She came right in and took over in the middle of a nasty battle. 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 had to hire Attorney Mooney after letting another attorney go in an already active Superior Court Civil Jury action that was brought against me for an erroneous accusations. A very messy law suit to say the least. I hired David for several reasons ( and trust me I have worked with a lot of Lawyers) 1. he is extremely diligent in procedures of a case. 2. He is calm, cool and collective and extremely professional in both practice and appearance. 3. He takes the time to make sure that you the client understand what is happening in a case and why. He has made a very bad experience of being sued in a civil matter, and starting the case with an attorney that hung me out to dry so to speak, David jumped in and has made me feel confident in my legal representation and he is so well versed with the law and legal procedure and case law that he has turned my case around for a positive outcome. I feel so much better with an attorney that is truly there for me...

If you want an amazing lawyer, this is the person you go to. Sven was able to defend me and win at trial, it was a totally amazing feeling to see the tears stop from my worried mothers eyes. I am a law abiding citizen but if the instance ever came up where I needed a lawyer again, Sven would be the person I would use hands down! Thank you so much.

My first contact with Sven was in 2007. He has represented me on 2 different cases. From the beginning, I had extreme confidence in him & I knew he was just the attorney I needed & to hire him. Although he made no promises to me, somehow I knew that he would represent me to the best of his ability & my case would end victoriously.
He was/ is very professional, efficient & extremely knowledgeable in his field. He really knows his stuff. He conducted/conducts himself in an ethical & honest manner. He not only had/has high standards, he had/has integrity. Rest assured that once he takes your case, he will represent you with zeal, confidence, knowledge, honesty, integrity & lots of hard work. He will do the very best job he can for you, I guarantee it..
Both of my cases looked bleak & hopeless due to the unusual circumstances that occurred, but the end result(s) ended victoriously. Although both cases took a long time for the end result, Sven worked hard & played the game(s) that frequently occurred/occurs in the judicial system arena with extreme professionalism, integrity, knowledge & patience,
I would not hesitate to hire him again if I needed to. His fee(s) may be a little on the high side, or expensive, but he is well worth it. I would highly recommend Sven Wiberg to anyone who needs representation, as he is an exceptional attorney!!

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.

Thank you Attorney Anthony Naro, Esq.
August 11th, 2023, came the call, ‘Go outside and enjoy the sunshine… it’s over’. These were the words from my lawyer telling me that the worst nightmare of my life had finally ended. Attorney Anthony “Tony” Naro, Esq. saved my life. In the two years prior to that call, I had lost everything; my career, my reputation, my apartment, my trust in people, my health, my identity and most of my friends. The fact that I knew I was innocent could not fight off the constant, intrusive thoughts of fear.
You see, I was accused of an awful crime that I did not commit. Unfortunately, as I quickly found out, the majority of people tend to believe whatever they hear and/or see without any need for convincing. You are deemed GUILTY by most who view the lies and distortions on the news, in print, and in conversations they have with others. You are “presumed innocent until proven guilty” is one of the most abhorrent of lies tangled into our need to believe that we can’t just fall victim to an accusation. Once accused, you quickly learn that this belief of assumed innocence is not true at all.
Tony Naro was there for me in so many ways throughout the whole process. He kept me updated and informed of every detail. He was incredibly responsive to my calls and emails. He never kept me waiting to hear back from him. He was understanding and compassionate over and beyond any expectation you may have from your lawyer. He listened to me express my fears and truly understood the depth of darkness I was feeling. He understood when I, on more than one occasion, broke down into tears in his office. He made that ok for me to do.
He never misled me or gave me false hopes. He was honest and direct about where we were at along the way through the legal process. He knew every expert to hire to solidify our case and give the evidence to prove my innocence. He knew and pursued all the right legal angles to provide an impenetrable defense. How do you show gratitude to someone like him? I can’t imagine what might have happened if I did not have Tony representing me. There really are no words that can fully encapsulate my thankfulness to Attorney Naro “Tony”.
Tony gave me my faith back. I am reminded of a Psalm; Psalm 40: “He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock”.

We had a fabulous experience working with Brent. He is patient, thorough, and provides detailed advice (that is clearly grounded in decades of experience) throughout the entire process. His presence at our interview was also greatly appreciated and helped relieve some of the anxiety we had going into it. Brent's services don't just end when you receive the approval - he also provides extremely helpful and comprehensive advice that one should always keep in mind post-change of immigration status. Thank you Brent for representing us and making this process as smooth as possible. We are deeply grateful!

Dear Jesse,
I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for your professional legal representation and support throughout my legal case. Your calm tone, and years of experience proved to be helpful in securing the best possible outcome.
When I was faced with charges of DWI, I was overwhelmed with anxiety and uncertainty. Your professional guidance and steadfast advocacy not only reassured me but also transformed what could have been a anxiety filled experience into a manageable step by step journey towards resolution.
Your ability to communicate the legal concepts in a clear and understandable manner allowed me to make informed decisions about my case.
Beyond your exceptional legal skills, your compassion and empathy made a profound impact on me. You provided not only legal guidance but also emotional support, which was invaluable during this difficult period. Your genuine concern for my well-being was evident in every interaction.
I would recommend you, Jesse Friedman to anyone in need of legal counsel. Your excellent legal acumen, integrity, and commitment to your clients are qualities that set you apart as an outstanding attorney.
Please feel free to share this letter on your website and social media platforms to let others know about the exceptional legal representation you provide. I have no doubt that you will continue to positively impact the lives of many individuals seeking justice.
Thank you once again, Jesse, for being an extraordinary attorney and a real person during a challenging time.
Regards,
D…

I am writing this review to express my most sincere thanks for the professional representation Attorney David Gottesman provided over the past several weeks. Having worked with Gottesman & Hollis for several decades I can truly attest to the fact they are one of if not the best law firms in New England. Davids professionalism, swift responses, and attention to detail is second to none. I was originally referred to David as I was told he was one of the most ethical, honest and knowledgeable attorneys in New England. They were correct. Whenever I need legal advice or action, David is always the Attorney I call.

Finally, an attorney who treats his clients like human beings! Attorney Campbell not only provided exceptional legal counsel but also stood out for his transparency and honesty. Unlike other attorneys I consulted, who seemed more interested in collecting money before even discussing costs or the case itself, Attorney Campbell was refreshingly upfront about costs and what it would take to handle my case from the start. His professionalism and clarity made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Attorney Campbell for anyone seeking legal assistance in the area

I was arrested for DUI first offense with a refusal of the breath test. As a result, I was facing a six-month administrative license suspension with the possibility of an additional nine months if convicted of the charge. This lengthy suspension would have made it impossible for me to keep my job, as I have an hour-long commute to work. Attorney Newman handled the case expeditiously and achieved an outstanding result. Prior to the administrative license appeal hearing, Attorney Newman worked out a plea deal with the prosecutor to drop the DUI and replace it with a reckless driving charge. On top of this, the prosecutor also agreed to waive the administrative license suspension. While I was facing up to fifteen months without a license, I ended up with only a three-month suspension and no criminal conviction, as long as I agreed to receive a drug and alcohol evaluation. This highly satisfying outcome is a testament to Attorney Newman's first-rate legal skill and long experience. I can't recommend him highly enough.

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to John, my exceptional lawyer. This man is the epitome of professionalism and kindness. When I found myself facing five serious charges, I was overwhelmed with anxiety. But John didn't just step in as my legal representative; he became a supportive presence, akin to a trusted family member.
Throughout the entire ordeal, John provided unwavering support, both legally and emotionally. His commitment to my case was unwavering; he left no stone unturned in his efforts to prove my innocence. It was evident that he genuinely cared about my well-being and the outcome of my situation.
What truly sets John apart is his genuine generosity. He understood the challenges I was facing and didn't hesitate to provide his assistance without any expectation of immediate compensation. In a field often driven by financial gain, John's compassion and understanding were truly remarkable.
I wholeheartedly recommend John. He is not only a highly skilled professional but also a compassionate advocate who will fight tirelessly on your behalf.
Thank you, John, for everything you've done for me.

The outcome was better than I could have hoped for. He fought against any limitations on my driving privileges and was successful. He placed a priority on my career and that is something that was of the utmost importance and will never be taken for granted.

I cannot recommend Fred Hoysradt and his legal team enough! Going through a divorce is never easy, but Fred and his team made the entire process as smooth and stress-free as possible. From the very first consultation, Fred showed incredible kindness, understanding, and professionalism. He listened to my concerns and worked diligently to ensure that my needs were met every step of the way.
What truly stood out was the efficiency with which Fred and his team handled my case. They were always one step ahead, anticipating issues before they arose and addressing them with precision and care. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, my divorce was finalized in under 3 months, which is nothing short of remarkable.
If you’re looking for a divorce lawyer who is not only highly skilled but also compassionate and attentive then contact Fred Hoysradt. His exceptional service and the results he delivered far exceeded my expectations. Thanks Fred!

Didn’t make much time for me and pretty much milked my case for $4000. I would’ve gotten the same exact ruling if I just didn’t hire a lawyer in general. Seemed as if they would rather maintain their relationship with the district attorney then fight for my case.

They keep you in the loop the whole time and make sure the process is as seamless as possible. Everyone at MacDonald Law truly cares about the clients. They are everything a good law office should be. Very thankful for my experience with Attorney Hoysradt and his team.

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.
