Scott is excellent. This was my first time purchasing real estate, and Scott’s guidance and professionalism helped to make it a positive experience. He was diligent in looking out for my best interest, and protecting me from any potential risk. We were able to leverage language Scott included in the contract to get a significant credit after the property was inspected. If you’ve never worked with an attorney before, it can be a little intimidating to know where to start, what qualities to look for. I would say, someone who has a lot of experience, is smart and knows the law — but also someone that’s great at communication, can be a good guide, listen and understand what you’re trying to accomplish. Scott has all those qualities, and in addition, he cares about his clients. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good, honest real estate attorney.

Unfortunately I found myself in need of an attorney for a traffic ticket …Ralph was highly recommended ….I cannot begin to explain what a tremendous relief it was to have Ralph in my corner ….. communication was very helpful and his response to any questions/concerns I had were timely and easy to understand. Ralph went to bat for me and I got a home run ….. minimal fine - zero points on my license! I highly recommend Ralph!

I was recently driving back to Toronto from NYC. About an hour from the border on Highway 17 a State Trooper pulled me over for speeding. She piled on another ticket for not signaling a lane change. The demerit points would have followed me to Ontario. Matis was recommended by someone in Toronto. I emailed him and he responded right away. He was very quick and professional. I just found out today that the tickets were resolved with a $300 fine and no demerit points. That's very fair. I have no hesitation recommending Matis to others.

Upon getting charged with a DWI I reached out to an attorney who I had used throughout my life for anything that came up. I was basically told based on your BAC we won’t be able to get a reduced offer and I am not sure how long the process will take. After a meeting, phone calls and a court appearance I was more confused than ever and accepted the fact that I would be getting a DWI. At this point a had a couple of people tell me that I should probably get a second opinion just based on the lack of information and inability to even understand the process ahead. It was at this point I called James and left a message. He got back to me immediately and spent 25 minutes talking through the fact surrounding the case and how this would move forward step by step. After talking to James I felt 100% better about the situation he was able to answer every question I had around the charges, temporary license, and a timeline. Additionally, James began to discuss scenarios to get the charges thrown out or reduced which is something I had completely dismissed as I was told a plea wouldn’t be possible. I had actually told him that I am fine with the DWI charge if we can just get this wrapped up. He seemed shocked and told me that I may get a DWI but it will be after we exhaust all of our options and if I want to plead guilty that I should get another attorney. Over the next few months James kept me informed eventually telling me to report to court and we will be wrapping this up with a DWAI charge! Having worked with James I would highly recommend anyone tangled up with a DWI charge to give him a call. My experience with lawyers is minimal but he completely exceeded all my expectations while being personable and relatable. Thanks James.

Brian Murphy was highly recommended to me by another attorney, that I've worked with and trusted for many years. I'm so happy that I hired him to represent me in my case. I sustained several broken bones and a spinal injury, in a work related accident, which was caused by someone else. He is very thorough in obtaining the evidence required to build a strong case. The tireless efforts of Brian, his associates and staff, brought us to an extremely satisfying settlement. I can't say enough good things about him!

He is easy to talk to, is a great communicator and informs you every step of the process. Hopefully the need will never arise, but if I ever need another injury attorney in the future there would be no one else I would even consider but Brian. Thank you for everything!

Initially, we sought the services of a law firm where George served as a contracted attorney as the co-leader of the team. Over time, our original attorneys became increasingly unresponsive. Recognizing the need for decisive action, George smoothly transitioned from his co-leader position to lead our case. His remarkable ability to manage this shift and the case itself was commendable. George’s deep commitment to understanding the intricacies of our situation enabled him to leverage his vast legal knowledge with precision. His foresight in anticipating and explaining potential outcomes, along with their broader implications, was crucial, ensuring we were always informed about every facet of our case. With George’s guidance, the legal process was demystified, communicated in a way that was both clear and accessible. His steadfast support and guidance were constant, providing us with the confidence and understanding we needed at every stage of the judicial process.

I was introduced to George a year ago through a mutual colleague. George has been quite helpful and instrumental in my launching a new LLC company. He has been knowledgeable, resourceful, and very communicative. He recommended a reliable source with whom to establish the LLC. Once it was set up, George helped me track down a logo I wanted for my company, assuring I had full, unencumbered legal rights to it. He went above and beyond by tracking the logo that was created in the Ukraine. This entailed numerous emails requiring translation and interpretation of nuances dealing with a foreigner. During this process communications proceeded seamlessly. George is a reliable, resourceful, ethical lawyer. I'd recommend him highly, without reservation.

I was facing some pretty serious crimal charges. After calling several lawyers and being disappointed with either their cost or demnear I found Aaron's name on Google. Considering all the good reviews I figured I'd give it a shot, and I was not disappointed. Aaron was an excellent listener, showed compassion, and not to mention was less than 1/3 of the top price I was quoted. I knew I was good hands but boy did he deliver. He got all the charges dropped due to a technicality and it only took two court dates!!! Dismissed file sealed! I wish I could give him a hundred positive reviews! Thanksss Aaron!!!

I recently had the privilege of working with Aaron who turned my perception of legal services completely around. Facing two felony charges was one of the most daunting experiences of my life, but thanks to this skilled attorney, I can confidently say that I walked away with my head held high. From the moment I reached out for a consultation, I was impressed by his professionalism and responsiveness. He took the time to listen to my situation, addressing all my concerns and providing me with a clear overview of what to expect moving forward. It was evident that not only did they have a wealth of legal knowledge, but they also genuinely cared about my case. What truly stood out to me was their strategic approach. In less than six months, Aaron was able to negotiate effectively and get my charges dropped. This accomplishment speaks volumes about their expertise and dedication to his clients. The attorney navigated the complexities of the legal system with remarkable proficiency, continually keeping me informed and involved in the process. Another significant factor was their reasonable pricing. Legal fees can often be exorbitant, leaving clients feeling overwhelmed and stressed about financial commitments on top of existing legal troubles. However, Aaron provided transparent pricing and worked with me to create a plan that suited my budget. This honesty and clarity were refreshing and made a stressful situation a lot easier to manage. Overall, I cannot recommend this attorney enough. He skillfully transformed what could have been a dire situation into a successful resolution. If you find yourself in need of legal assistance, especially regarding felony charges, do not hesitate to reach out. You will find not only a competent attorney but also a trustworthy ally in your corner. Thank you for your incredible work!

I was living a nightmare for almost four years. I sold my home and the buyers' attorney fell for a scam e-mail, wiring my mortgage payoff to a fraudulent account at my servicing bank. All of the funds were completely withdrawn from the fraudulent account in a few days. I had no idea that any of this happened until the bank deducted a mortgage payment from my account weeks later. After my real estate attorney discovered what happened, the bank was notified of the fraud and told me not to worry, and that they would freeze the account until the situation was rectified. The buyers' attorney refused to take any responsibility, claimed to be a victim, and never notified the buyers that their home was subject to a lien from an unsettled mortgage. The local police and the FBI were notified and investigated and found that the scammers succeeded in getting the funds overseas. Everyone involved in the transaction denied responsibility and then the bank denied saying that they would freeze the account and referred me to collections, destroying my credit and putting my security clearance and livelihood at risk. I hired Tim and PLG to represent me in this matter, and when the bank refused to even discuss what had happed, he filed a civil suit on my behalf. Tim and PLG were relentless in fighting for me and helping me navigate through dealing with my employer as my clearance was in jeopardy. Were it not for Tim, I would have lost my clearance and my job. Unfortunately, there is little recourse for victims of this type of fraud and it is impossible to fight major banks, insurance companies, and attorneys without having the best on your side. I was lucky to have Tim and PLG on my side and I received a favorable outcome. Tim is passionate about what he does, seeking justice for his clients, fighting for "the little guy"! I hope no one ever has to go through what I did, but if you do, you need Parlatore Law Group in your corner!

TLDR: Mehdi is a smart, attentive, and available lawyer. Will always get back to you, will fight for you for real, and is ACTUALLY affordable (honestly you’re getting way more than your monies worth, he deserves more than what he asks for) I must have called 10 or 15 (literally) Lawyers before I came across Mehdi and he was THE ONLY one that actually talked to me like a normal person. He explained to me what cases like mine have looked like, he clearly broke down for me everything I needed and the game plan and genuinely calmed me down (multiple times lol). He always kept me informed, whenever I called him or texted him he called me back & answered all my questions. He hounded the ADA on my case making sure they looked at it with the same importance as their other cases. Most importantly I could afford him. Not a single lawyer I called before him quoted me less thank almost 3 months worth of my rent (90% sure you are on the same boat if you’re reading this) if you’re like me you make too much for public defender and not enough to to afford to pay 3 months worth of rent. Mehdi was fair in what he charged me. He understood what I was going through and worked with me. Honestly I couldn’t have asked for a better person to represent me. He got my case literally the best outcome possible (very happy about that!) and all while keeping me from panicking and stressing out on a regular basis.

Mehdi was amazing at helping me navigate a complex legal situation and never gave me a bad piece of advice, nor was unresponsive, nor ungenerous with his time. You will definitely be in good hands. I know choosing is hard and there are so many reviews and attorneys to sort through, so save yourself some time and peace of mind by hiring Mehdi.

I was given a summons for failing to yield to a pedestrian. I was at loss. In one day, I called six attorneys who did not listen or were not interested in my case and gave me wrong information. By the end of that day, I found Mehdi and sent him a message that he replied promptly. He called me the next day, took his time explaining everything to me. I was impressed by his knowledge, confidence and care. I hired him and my case was dismissed. During the process, Mehdi was very attentive and kept us posted. I highly recommend Mehdi to anyone who needs an attorney. He’s exceptional.

I hired Heidi in 2020 based off of a recommendation and referral from a good friend. As a woman I feel comfortable with Heidi from the start because it's always easier to discuss domestic problems with someone you can relate to. My ex was working cash jobs so consistently thought it was hard to prove income yet Heidi was able to impute income at a higher degree than what I figure any other attorney would have been able to obtain. Every step of the way was explained, and she also lets you make choices of your choosing which makes you feel like you have a say in a legal battle. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a strong, knowledable attorney with a Compassionate Heart.

I was represented by Heidi during my divorce and through the hardest and most painful time in my life. Heidi and her assistants always helped me to feel strong and safe in their hands. I do not think I could’ve done it without their help. Heidi listened to all my concerns and understood exactly what I wanted for myself, my son and coparenting. She informed me of all my rights and all my entitlements. My divorce was fast and seamless, exactly how I wanted it. My ex husband and I now have peace between us and are doing really well at co-parenting together. She was always there to listen and I never had to wait long for a phone call back or email back even on days when she was very busy. If she couldn’t get to me I’d always receive an email by the end of the day. She helped me through so many emotions and fears that divorce brings and is truly a professional but also cares about her clients. I would definitely trust Heidi with any future legal needs I may need.

I had a 6 point ticket and Ron Cook got this down to zero points. That saved me over $300 right there alone because the DMV would have assessed a fee of $300+ due to the points. Also, by getting the points to zero, this prevented my insurance rates from going up. Hire this lawyer. His fees are reasonable and the results are superior.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
