Ayant accuse de terroriste dans une affaire d'eglise tres compliquee .le systeme de justice criminel m'avait oblige de trouver un avocat pour me representer.
vu la complexite de l'affaire et les exigences du moment. je connais mr chong s.kim par le biais d'un autre avocat ami .
Depuis ce jour, il a travaille sur la requete visant les moyens de rejeter le plus rapidement possible les demandes frivoles des plaintifs par le tribunal. Alors je suis libere avec satisfaction de son travail comme avocat.
Donc, mes experiences avec lui. il sait bien l'art du metier et il sait aussi tenir ferme devant l'enfer des juges pour defendre ses clients. tout ce que un client aura besoin d'un avocat comme qualite relative a l'exercise de cette profession il le trouvera en lui .il peut aisement faire de l'accroissement des relations professionelles en se faisant l'ami de tous les clients.
Mais il travaille avec modestie, prudence, tenacite, en bon strategiste, avec patience, tres collaboratif et tres jovial.
Mr chong s. Kim est un bon investigateur il sait bien le processus d'evaluation des circonstances .remarquablement il s'est soucie de ma situation financiere il n'est pas cupide. Or, l'argent n'a jamais ete constitue le moyen de blocage entre lui et ses clients de sa part il cherche toujours une voie favorable pour mettre ses clients en totale confiance.
en ce qui me concerne il faisait comme s'il me connaiterait longtemps. En consequence ;il travaille dans les domaines varies du metier. Il est tres habile, diligent et consistent .merci avocat chong s.Kim continue comme tu as commence dans cette carriere.

I had never met Mr. Kim before he became my attorney. I have dealt with my fair share of attorneys but my experience with him is by far the most appreciated yet. This man is helping my family and I keep our home when we were supposed to be homeless. He has such a genuine heart and cares about the well-being of his clients. I feel blessed to have him helping me during this tough time and working with me. May God richly bless this man!

The Law Firm of Russell Depersia, LLC was recommended to me by a good friend and it has served to be the best recommendation I have ever had. I was expecting the worst outcome and actually got the best outcome. Mr. Depersia and his staff were always courteous and professional. They always responded to my inquiries promptly and I never had to wonder what was going on with my case as they always kept me up to date with new developments. Mr. Depersia was always up front with me even though he sometimes underestimated his own abilities. From my side of things, he seems very connected to the legal system and the individuals in it. You would expect someone of his stature to be arrogant but he is a very humble and kind man, not to mention easy on the eyes. I am still amazed at what he was to accomplish in my case. I would highly recommend his services. Hopefully, I will never need his services again but he would be my first choice if I ever needed legal assistance.

I'm so happy to have had the opportunity to work with Russell DePersia. Mr. Russell literally knows everyone in the courtroom and how they operate. Whenever working on a case, it's vital to know the pros, the cons, the influencers, and obviously all facts of the case! Mr. Russell brought all of that to the table and then some! It's great to have a lawyer to contact when you don't understand legal terms, someone that's prompt with response, and obviously representing you when you cannot represent yourself. I love that Mr. Russell actually cares for his clients and is trustworthy. No matter how intense the situation is, he will remain professional, keep a calm demeanor, tell it like it is, and always look for the best outcome while staying in touch with reality. Due to my phenomenal experience while handling legal matters, the Law Firm of Russell Anthony DePersia will always be my first choice! No matter what I say, the work speaks for itself.

Before even hiring Brendan he went through the effort to research information regarding my case and followed up with knowledgeable answers to all my questions, something no other attorney I spoke to at the time had done. He was personable, always willing to take the time to address any of my concerns, and responded promptly to calls and email. I was terrified at the possibility of losing my license but Brendan was able to get the charge reduced to a minor speeding violation, which was more than I had hoped for. I will definitely contact Brendan again the next time I need legal services.

I'm going to be very straightforward when I say that John Klotz has gone above and beyond and I can proudly say I am glad to have chosen him as my lawyer. I have never dealt with any type of court situations as I am not the type of individual who gets into huge circumstances like the one I've been in. I was devastated and at a loss of words in what to do and how to go about my situation without making any mistakes and paying for a lot more than I don't need to.
My boyfriend actually happened to find John on a website called Thumbtack, and I read all of the details of what John's services provided and it was definitely more than fair! He knew how to comfort me the whole time since I was definitely a wreck, emotionally and he carefully explained how to go about with the process. I must admit I had a DUI for a cause that was not my fault at all and I needed to have everyone see the truth, but I definitely could have not done it if it wasn't for John. He was ready for phone calls day and night 24/7 up until the last court day which I felt like all odds were somehow against me. He won my case by a landslide and now I can apply to jobs with ease and go to college without any worries. I honestly cannot put enough words into how grateful I am for having such an amazing lawyer and I would definitely recommend him to anyone!
I hope I wouldn't have to use a lawyer again, but if I do he will be the first I will think of! THANK YOU SO MUCH JOHN FOR SAVING MY FUTURE. WORDS CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MUCH IT MEANS TO ME!

I call him superman because he truly is a super human person. During my time of despair, facing a DWI conviction with potential 7 month license suspension, John came to my rescue!! I left a message on his voicemail on a Sunday morning thinking he would probably get back to me by Monday. He called me back in 10 minutes. From that moment after i explained what had happened it was all business. He listened to me for about an hour and found flaws by police instantaneously in my case. As we moved on he tirelessly gathered info for discovery, sometimes texting me at 11pm at night after a full day of work. We even shared an occasional joke to break up tension. He promised me in beginning "HE WOULD LEAVE NO STONE UNTURNED" and he certainly delivered on that. My results were definitely in my favor as my DWI was dismissed. I not only consider John a great lawyer but a great person who truly cares.If you need a lawyer to roll up his sleeves and go to work for you then John ( Superman) Klotz is definately your man. Thank you John for everything!!!

Attorney Ronald Thompson and his team are excellent! At first I was second guessing myself about hiring an attorney for a traffic ticket, but after speaking with one of his staff members I was given appropriate information on what they do. They will do everything they can to get the very best outcome. They will keep you updated on your case by calling or emailing you with any information they have. They offer a reasonable price. I highly recommend hiring Attorney Ronald Thompson and his team to help you get your ticket dismissed!

I needed to find an experienced immigration attorney and was contacting different lawyers. Unfortunately their consultations were not informative at all and were even controversial. I was very disappointed.
Luckily, one of my friends told me about Alexander Dranov. I was impressed during my consultation with him. He was so knowledgeable, so patient. He spent almost two hours discussing with me my case, explaining to me everything in details. When I left his office I was feeling I knew everything I needed to proceed with my case.
If I will need a lawyer's help or consultation in future, I know who to call. And I am referring Mr. Alexander Dranov to all my friends.

My family and I have known and used Mr Todd Eder’s services for over 25 years. Todd has done an outstanding job from start to finish on three separate real estates closings and personal injury due to a car crash. He was also our probate attorney, and did a fantastic job. His work ethic is above and beyond. Todd always kept us in the light and was easy to reach when ever I had a question, or simply needing an update. Todd is extremely competent and organized. He filed everything in a timely manner. Mr Eder’s fees were very reasonable, especially for the quality of work that he does. Mr Eder is my family attorney and I wish him many more healthy years of good practice. I highly recommend Todd Eder, who I believe is one of the best in the business. He truly cares about each and every client that walks thru his door.

A close family member was arrested and charged with a serious felony. At the time of their arrest, they were diagnosed with serious mental illness and went to a cell in the forensic section of the state mental hospital. When their case came up they were transferred to a mental health section of the county jail. Although I was the victim and hoped to get treatment for my relative, the state automatically pressed criminal charges under the state's domestic violence laws.
Initially, my relative was defended by a public defender, which was a relief given the cost of hiring a defense attorney. But the public defender was so overworked and overloaded with cases I am surprised he could remember my relative's name. Neither my relative nor anyone else in the family could find out much about how the case was going because the public defender spent so much time in court defending a great pile of case-after-case. Little by little I learned that the prosecution's case was relatively strong. The prosecution piled on every possible charge the prosecutor could imagine, and remained adamant in pressing for maximum, non-concurrent sentences for all charges -- up to 30 years in prison. The public defender conducted negotiations with the prosecutor and was slowly working toward a deal. All my relative had to do was plead-out and they could get off 'light' -- with only eight years in state prison. This seems to be the way law works these days. Forget all about all the lawyer and cop shows you might have seen on tv or in the movies. Very few defendants risk going to trial in our legal system which has become so heavily weighted in favor of the prosecution.
I couldn't fault the efforts of the public defender given his situation but I didn't need to learn any more. I started hunting for a private attorney to defend my relative. Finding a good criminal defense attorney is not as easy as I expected. There are many attorneys who practice criminal defense -- for shoplifting or DUI charges -- but relatively few who will practice and are experienced at defending in serious felony cases. My search was further complicated by my relative's mental illness and the state's insistence on treating their case as a criminal case. I feel very fortunate to have found Ryan Gilbert, LLC. He was both experienced with handling criminal cases like my relative's and knowledgeable in the special case law involved in what is called a Krol case -- named for the defendant whose defense case pioneered this area of criminal law. In addition, Ryan Gilbert knew what expert witness to retain to best forward my relative's defense. I believe the testimony of this expert witness together with Ryan Gilbert's patience and expertise was crucial in determining the outcome of this case.
There were several difficult personalities Ryan Gilbert had to deal with in handling my relative's case. I remain impressed by his ability to understand and skillfully maneuver through the often delicate relations with these difficult people. Unlike the public defender, it was easy to reach Ryan Gilbert and he was forthcoming and plain spoken about how the case was progressing. Ryan met with state prosecutors in court and in side negotiations for over a year. At the end of this ordeal the state finally recognized that my relative suffered from mental illness and the state's interests would be best served if this relative were placed into the state mental health system as a Krol patient.
Mounting a criminal defense requires considerable time and energy in addition to resources like the expert witness Ryan Gilbert obtained to further this case. Hard work, and great skill and expertise deserve adequate compensation. The defense of my relative was neither free nor exorbitant, and worth more than every penny it cost. How much would you value each year in the life of someone you love?

Mr. Gilbert gets the job done. Due to medical reasons, my case was handled with me on the other side of the continent! Mr. Gilbert was able to expedite my case and have it settled in what I consider record time. Fees are more than reasonable, especially given the excellence in representation that Mr. Gilbert is able to provide. As long as Mr. Gilbert remains in practice, I will always have a lawyer in NJ.

Ive been using Ryan Gilbert since 2009, Ryan is a very good trustworthy lawyer. I currently retained Ryan in the most crucial time of my life a custody case in which im trying to keep my son. I used another firm and it was costing me ridiculous amounts of money with little to no work done on their end. Im not saying custody cases arent expensive nor Ryan is going to work for free but he wont rob you he will be fair and work hard for you and thats all i asked. I highly recommend Ryan for anyone seeking a professional/fair attorney!

I am VERY happy with the settlement that he got for us for my husband's injury from the accident and MOST of all, I was impressed with the speed of the settlement of the case and how he wasn't like other attorneys; he is honest and compassionate and a man of integrity, qualities that are difficult to find.

I was referred to Mr. Maxwell for a real estate transaction as a buyer on a property. Mr. Maxwell was excellent in his knowledge and ability to assist with the transaction. He responded promptly and contacted me to discuss all issues. He was clear and helpful in explaining the legal process and fought to get me the best possible contact saving which saved me money. Mr. Maxwell was professional and I will be recommending him to everyone I know. Trust me, please use him for your legal services!

Sophia was excellent. I was being charged with a 6 point speeding ticket and a license suspension. When no one thought I can avoid the suspension, Sophia made it happen. Because of Sophia’s amazing work and knowledge I walked away with only 2 points and no license suspension. I would very highly recommend consulting and hiring Sophia for all your legal needs.

I was cited for speeding 72 in 55 Mph area. Although the prosecutor dismissed my summons due to exigent circumstances, Mr. Traynor obtained a thorough discovery and was well prepared to negotiate the appropriate plea for my circumstances being a PA licensed driver working in NJ. I would highly recommend Mr. Traynor for NJ traffic matters.
He was cordial and honest the entire time I retained his services. He also does not nicklevand dime. He is receptive to phone calls for clarification. kept me well informed personally each step.

Got caught up in a really bad DWI charge in EHT. He took the time to explain the discovery with me. Gerard was very knowledgable as he knew both sides of the fence because law enforcement experience. He was able to get me a decent deal with prosecutor. Charged a reasonable fee, less than most lawyers in the industry. I would say from my experience was worth it... Check ++ and would highly recommend him.

I highly recommend Mr Nicholas Macri as a lawyer. He handled my sexual harassment case, swiftly and professionally. Any questions I had he answered them with such confidence we won and settled our case. In less than a year. He fully explains everything and help me to understand the whole process, step-by-step this being my first sexual harassment case, I did not know what to expect at first. He never neglected any questions I had, and always respond in a timely manner almost immediately every time, considering what I went through, he made me feel so comfortable. I give him a 10 out of 10 I was highly satisfied with his performance and professionalism in what he does. Thank you so much for your help!

Hello, everyone. We met Rochelle more than 8 years ago. My first impressions were that she is a caring, patient and trustworthy person. I also talked about my case, which was to apply for a green card, which other lawyers had made a mistake. She told me that she was taking the case and would lead it to a decision in my favor. After 6 years in which I had lost hope and in which there was a Covid pandemic, it never gave up and my case was brought to a happy end. I want to thank her and say that she is a person who knows, understands from her work and never gives up. THAK YOU again, ROCHELLE !!!

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.
