Adam stepped in during a difficult situation for a PRB hearing with 24 hours to prepare. His knowledge and confidence resonated during the hearing. With his help my significant other is coming home. I can never thank him enough for all he has done. These last months have been so difficult but all that being said Adam stepped in and was amazing.

Adam came highly recommended by an other attorney and now I can see why. He was able to obtain my vehicle back after it had been seized by the police. His vast knowledge in this type of matters resulted in getting the civil case dismissed. I was in constant communication with him throughout this entire process. There wasn’t a call or text of mine that he wouldn’t answer.

If you’re reading this review today, chances are you or someone you know are in need of representation in the court of law. I hired Adam Bolotin in February of 2020, after an unfortunate misunderstanding that led to my untimely separation from my company and a dream career that I had waited for over 35yrs:( Due to the pandemic the city of Chicago literally shut down in March of 2020, which pushed my court dates further and further back, with the unknown and uncertainties, a widespread pandemic and no employment I found myself at a low point in my life, but through it all, Adam was extremely encouraging and reassuring by reminding me of how he was going to fight for me and that the law was there to protect me. I will forever be in this man’s debt as he time and time again rushed to represent me even after the case was dismissed, yet my new employer needed some legal final papers. Adam has definitely restored my faith in humanity. Thank God for attorneys who remain faithful to their oath to protect the citizens of this country. Today I am with a different company doing the same dream career and enjoying my life, thanks to Adam’s continued support and legal representation.

Excellent services provided by this attorney. I initially consulted with him regarding the circumstances relating to my case, and he assured me that justice would be served, and he could handle it without issue. In less than six months, he was able to have all pending charges fully dismissed. He would have been able to resolve it sooner, if it hadn’t been for the lengthy process of the court system. Mr. White is extremely knowledgeable, and works relentlessly to ensure satisfaction from his clients. He takes into account his client’s needs/interests, and fights for a favorable outcome, that reflects justice. Highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal advice/counseling/representation, and will be referring him to future litigants.

I’m so grateful for Arthur Lebedin & his law firm. They helped my son & I settled his student loan. Everything they said they would do, they did. Katherine handled our case, I can’t say enough about her. She answered all our concerns & was very supportive. She understood the stress we were under & promised results. She went above & beyond. We received a settlement amount that was considerably less than the full balance. Finally after years of struggling we are free from these crippling loans!!! Forever thankful.

Saw this law firm online and based on good reviews, I contacted their office and Atty Lebedin called me outright and had given me consulatation for free. I went to his office and Atty Arthur was so gracious listening to my woes with regards to my credit card debts. He’s very knowledgeable of what he does and very professional. Atty Arthur Lebedin and all worked hand in hand as a team to make things right for me sooner than I thought. I paid almost just 1/3 of my debt or $9,200+ discount from the original amount Im supposed to pay! So grateful to be represented by this amazing lawyers esp to Atty. Arthur Lebedin & Atty Stephannie Miranda. My case was resolved in no less time. Needless to say, their professional fees are reasonable and fair. Highly recommended lawyers/law firm. What a relief on my part for this settlement that they negotiated on my behalf. Thank you very very very much.

We first hired Jack because he seemed very competent to represent us in Court. It was a difficult case and we were feeling very vulnerable. As time went on, we were even happier that we chose him because not only he will be your lawyer, he will HONESTLY do what's best for you. He will give you many advices (some you might not wanna hear but he will say it anyway because it's necessary) and he will always make sure you're up to date with everything going on and the options you have. He honestly cared about us and our situation. He CARES. Jack became more than a lawyer, we consider him our friend. My husband and I highly recommend him. He knows what he is doing and if you let him do his job, you'll realize his choices and the way he handles your case are much better than what you had in mind. Not only he helped us with this court case, whenever we had a legal question related to anything else, he quickly got back to us and was always very helpful and informative. So if you are looking for a SMART, COMPETENT, CARING lawyer, Jack is definitely your man and I promise you that you will not regret. Thank you Jack for everything you have done for my family and I. Thank you for fighting with us! We couldn't have won without you!

At first I was very worried that there was no hope for my case or situation. But without fail John has been there every step of the way with me easing my anxiety and reassuring me that he’ll get the best outcome. He’s kind and patient and has taken his time to explain every detail of the case and the defense. He even had a meeting with family members to dismiss their worry. He was very caring and took my case seriously and although I doubted that the case could get dismissed he made that happen. My case was completely dismissed and I could not be more grateful for the work and time Mr. Cromwell has put into this. I had a DUI case that was dismissed. If your looking for a great lawyer to do what’s in your best interest always this is the guy.

After being arrest for a criminal offense and finding myself in a situation that could effect my entire future, I went ahead with the grueling task of having to find legal representation. I went through a few consultations with other lawyers but I felt extremely confident and at ease with Mr. Cromwell throughout the whole process of my case. He keeps a very calm and kind demeanor. This truly helped with my level of stress and anxiety I was going through. Never once did I feel as if he was judging me. He answered my text and calls in a very timely manner and was always available to answer any questions I had. While in court I can see the other attorneys in the room come to him to seek his advice. He got me the best possible outcome and he gave me back my life!! For which I am truly grateful. I recommend John M. Cromwell to anyone that needs a knowledgeable and professional criminal attorney that gets the job done. Thank you John!

I'm 48 and my husband is a trial lawyer, so I have been inside a lot of court rooms and I've never encountered a lawyer like Mr. Fenchel. I hired him on a very simple matter but watching him interact with his court appointed clients I realized he is a unicorn... a lawyer that genuinely cares what happens to other people. It is very clear that the judge and DA respect him, but I also respect him for the human kindness he showed not only to his court appointed clients but to their loved ones and to me as well. I can't believe I just handed a lawyer all my money and thought 'wow that was awesome' but here we are. I'm almost glad I got a stone cold sober DUI just so I could know such an interesting person exists. He is so smart careful and articulate I do not think he misspoke a single time, his general policy looks to be to just to outwork everyone and it shows. Eleven stars.

I was arrested for DWI, unsafe lane change and not updating the address on my driver's license. I also refused a chemical test. Tim was extremely helpful. He put my mind at ease, and calmly walked through all of the potential outcomes. While we lost the refusal hearing, Tim was able to get the non-DWI charges reduced to a parking ticket. He was also able to get the DWI charges reduced to DWAI after successfully cross-examining the police officer during testimony. I hope that I never have to call Tim again for a traffic-related incident, but I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone else that needs legal representation.

I was charged with a DWI along with another traffic violation a few months ago. I called the trbovich law firm after I read a number of reviews and was linked up with Tim Brooks. He was strait forward as to every and any possible outcome that could play out and had a game plan for all of it. He was always available to answer any questions throughout the process and was very thorough in his explanations and broke it down to a level anyone could relate to so there wasn't any misconceptions about the proceedings. In the end he got the results he had anticipated and fought for. For anyone seeking legal council especially with DWI cases I would 100% point you in the direction of this lawyer. He won't let you down and is there every step of the way while making every case as important as yours. I couldn't think of a better lawyer to have had on my team.

I appreciated that they called a spade a spade but with tact/ and care. Richard walked me through the process step by step with words of encouragement every step of the way. There comes a certain level of anxiety and stress when dealing with family court.

He has spent tireless hours working, writing, researching, talking to experts and fighting for justice for my daughter and the civil rights of my sons that were wrongfully taken by CPS.

10 years ago i saw mr. mihuta in rensselaer county court and he was the only lawyer that argued with the judge for his client. other attorneys i witnessed agreeing with the da. Mr. Mituta wouldnt take anything less then the best for his client. i was impressed then and started to retain him. I have used lucas over the last 10 plus years for various criminal court proceedings, to surrogates and most recently my personal injury case which went to trial. During trial i was so impressed with his knowledge of medical that i asked him if he had a medical degree as well. he actually had the doctors re think what they were saying and his style had the jury do anything BUT fall asleep. even the judge said he was looking forward to lucas keeping him awake. he was so impressive with his closing arguments he had me crying and moved the jury to a favorable outcome. Hes friendly, impressively knowledgable, understanding and most of all not judgemental in anyway. lucas generally cares for his clients and will work hard to make sure he gets the bests results for you. stop looking for attorneys. i swear you hit jackpot with mr. mihuta, your in good hands and worth every penny.

Right from the very start he was honest, compassionate and incredibly insightful as it relates to every particular step moving forward. Most importantly his level of communication was stellar.

We were ticketed on the Taconic on our way north, and the town court was much too far away to contest the ticket in person. After research, we chose Jonathan Katz to represent us in town court.

Tom's presence in the court room is second to no one and he is clearly very well connected with the players in the judicial system in the greater Rochester area.

Michael Spano is unquestionably the best attorney I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. He represented my son in a very serious criminal matter and I found him to be extremely articulate, knowledgeable, understanding, and compassionate. Michael's integrity is beyond reproach, he candidly advised me of both the good and the bad throughout the progression of the case, and at no time did he ever sugarcoat information or make any speculative promises. He possesses the patience of a saint and repeatedly answered all questions thoroughly. He always welcomed our input and seriously considered any suggestions that we made. Michael earned my family's absolute trust and made certain that no decision was ever made without my son's full agreement. I firmly believe that Michael truly cares about his clients and most importantly about their future. I can't thank Michael enough for what he did for my son and our family. I'm quite certain that had any other attorney represented my son the outcome would have been very very different and not in a good way.

I had an excellent experience with Daniel Kron. From our very first phone conversation he explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand. My case was what I perceived to be a difficult, high conflict case in regard to visitation and custody. It was a very tumultuous time for me and Daniel always took the time, generously I might add, to explain things thoroughly and to discuss strategy. From the beginning, Daniel was straightforward, concise, transparent and knowledgeable. We often discussed various options at length along with his recommendations and personal advice as to how he thought we should proceed. I felt as if we were working together, with his professional guidance. I found this to be invaluable as it allowed me to strategize with him. I trusted him implicitly. He possesses integrity and conducts himself in an ethical manner. I believe this helped us win the case. His composure and class throughout the virtual court proceedings were always on point. I am very grateful for his work and highly recommend him.

Having a good attorney is such an important part of life and these attorneys are GREAT. The whole process of hiring this firm was smooth and such a pleasant experience but the best part was the sense of calm they give you from the minute you get on the phone with them. Daniel Kron seriously is the best — trust all the good reviews because he’s definitely a renowned attorney.

I received a speeding ticket while driving a crew team to the Head of the Charles Regatta. I was trying to catch back up with the caravan and went to fast. I am from another state and searched the internet and found positive reviews for Mr. Ariza and decided to give it a shot. He was excellent and got my violation dismissed with a reasonable fine and a 1 hour online defensive driving class. No points or record of the offense. I was more than pleased. Excellent communication from their office through the whole process.

I was wrongly issued a ticket by a police officer who made a snap decision that was incorrect. I contacted Seth for help. He wanted to know the nature of the violation and my side of the story. He then told me to sit back as he would take on the matter for me. He updated me regularly as he communicated with the court, and eventually resolved the matter for me. His fee was reasonable and the results were excellent. I highly recommend him.

Edward Palermo Esq. is a superb Attorney and Person. This is reflected in the fact that he won the Bethpage Best of Long Island Contest for the FIFTH consecutive year in a row. He is so understanding and compassionate. He takes the time to explain things to me that are difficult to understand because I am disabled and have ADHD and have difficulty understanding things. Ed is so patient and kind. The positive qualities about Ed are in the millions and billions. If you are in a need of an Attorney, he is the ONLY CHOICE.

I retained Mr. Paul Tuths to represent me at a hearing at the Southampton Town Court. Paul is throughly professional, was great about returning calls and email, charges a reasonable fee, and, most important, delivers meaningful results. Without divulging my circumstances, he was able to get three traffic violations reduced to a single parking infraction. Paul’s fee more than paid for itself, in both potential fines and points. I owe Paul a debt of gratitude, and I recommend Paul without reservation.

Paul is courteous, honest and straightforward. He was able to negotiate my 6-point speeding ticket down to a no points parking violation; moreover, he was receptive to emails and provided timely updates. His fee is comparable to other attorneys in the area, but his reputation and experience in the Southampton, NY area are what set him apart.

Amazing attorney. Went to court with 3 traffic tickets expecting to pay for every one of them. I was assigned Mr.Dotzler and he practically got me out of every charge against me and i appreciate and respect his understanding with my situation and child support. Not only understood but voiced his opinion and got me a very fair deal. I would recommend Mr. Dotzler.

Matt Dotzler was nothing but incredible the entire time. My case involved some traffic offenses, and he was appointed to me by the court. This was my first time ever having to deal with a lawyer, and he made the process incredibly easy. I was pretty stressed out by the whole thing, and he made a concerted effort to work on my issue until it was done. Two of my charges were thrown out and one was reduced! A better job than I ever could have asked for.

Matthew Dotzler has represented me on two separate occasions. Both times he worked very quickly and effectively to get me a favorable outcome. I could easily trust Matthew to handle my cases. He is very intelligent in law, professional, responsive to calls and messages, I feel what he charged me both times was very fair, he was overall a great person to work with. I would definitely recommend to any friend or family member.

Ed and the team at Fiandach & Fiandach are quite simply the best in the business. If you read no further, know that if you need a DWI attorney, hire Ed now. If you want to know a little more about our experience, keep reading. The day following my son’s arrest, we were in a state of shock and immediately hired a different attorney affiliated with one of those DWI firms that you see heavily advertised on billboards. Over the next couple of months, as details of the case emerged, it became increasingly clear that there were issues with the initial stop and inconsistencies with the evidence, but the attorney did not seem to be fully engaged or have mastery of the facts of the case. Often, I would reach out to him when I found an issue and would get no response or a response at the last minute, as if he only looked at the material the morning before the court appearance. Each court date it seemed like he was “going through the motions” with a foregone conclusion that the case would simply be pled down. When I brought up issues with discovery, or the police report, or frustration that no one was reviewing the full facts of the case, I was most often met with a shrug and some comment along the lines of “that’s just how it is in the criminal justice system.” He advised my son to request and accept a plea deal and had us nearly convinced that if we tried to push forward with motions, etc., we were just risking a worse outcome. But this was my kid, and accepting a sentence without anyone really considering the facts of the case just didn’t feel right, so we reached out to an experienced friend for advice and she said, “Fire that guy. You need to hire Ed Fiandach.” At our initial consultation with Ed, he immediately identified that there were issues with the traffic stop and cited the relevant case law. He said the right next step was to file motions to suppress the stop. “You should never skip the steps,” he said. When I shared that the other attorney told us that filing motions could result in a worse sentence and maybe the plea is the best we can do, Ed said something that put everything in to focus. He said, “Your son hasn’t even had a defense yet.” He gave us confidence that my son shouldn’t just accept the plea deal. Ed and his team filed the motions, and when the hearing happened, Ed knew exactly what to say and do to show that the prosecution had not established probable cause for the traffic stop. To follow-up, he wrote a memorandum of law that was thorough, detailed, and fact-based that clearly supported his motion to suppress the evidence. Ed knows the law inside and out and through his efforts, my son’s case was dismissed. Throughout the entire process, Ed was responsive when we had questions, patient, and most importantly, kind to both me and my son. I am forever grateful to Ed and his team for helping my family through this difficult situation.

After our motor vehicle incident with our son and having it out of county, we did not know who to call. I have many trusted law enforcement partners in the the surrounding counties so I reached out to three of them and all three said, "call Angelo Rose". One of these contacts even said "you absolutely need to call Angelo Rose". We are glad we did. Angelo met with us in his office to quickly ease our anxiety about what might/could happen and in the end, Angelo was very close to spot on with what did happen. Angelo knows the law and what turned out to be equally important, Angelo knows the DA's to work with and his advice along the way has been right on point. We actually liked him so much that we are going to use him as our attorney for various legal documents and hopefully, we never do but if we need a lawyer, we would say our lawyer is Angelo Rose on the spot. If you need a lawyer, you need to call Angelo, hands down!

Angelo represented me in a difficult DWI case. I have never been in any legal situation before and I did not know what to do. He was there to guide me during difficult moments in the case. It was a very stressful time and he probably had his hands full dealing with me, but he was always patient and addressed my concerns. He was able to get the charges reduced. There is no other lawyer that I would go to for representation. Thank you Angelo!

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.
