Joe and his team were great, they went above and beyond from the start, even visiting me in the hospital to assess my situation personally. His professionalism and thoroughness were evident throughout the entire process, despite having to face unique challenges in my case.
I feel like Joe exhausted every possible avenue to secure the best outcome for my case. He was also able to reduce my medical bills and liens, and even went as far as reducing his firm's fees to ensure I received as much compensation as possible under the specific circumstances of my case.
Throughout the process, the team maintained great communication, explained the entire legal process clearly and thoroughly and helped me through it step by step. Their dedication, empathy and guidance definitely made a challenging situation much more manageable, which i really appreciate.
Joe is someone who combines legal expertise with genuine care for his clients, I highly recommend him and his team for anyone needing legal representation. Thanks again for everything!

Muy buena experiencia y atención, me asignaron a una persona que hablaba español para ayudarme y que todo fuera más fácil y rápido, muy buenos doctores, los consultorios de los mismos en muy buen estado y trataron muy bien. Cuando tienes un accidente todo se complica y vuelve más estresante pero ellos lo hicieron mucho fácil para mí.

Joe and his team are amazing, and they navigate their clients through the intimidating process of injury settlement/compensation with ease, confidence and minimal involvement by the client. The last thing you need, after trauma of an injury, is to worry about the steps that you need to take to negotiate with the other party's insurance company. Joe make that whole process effortless.

I sought Andrea’s legal advice as a second opinion to an employment matter I’m in negotiations regarding. Andrea reviewed my case thoroughly and provided sound and considerate reflections based on what I provided her. She was kind & understanding in her review and I appreciated her dedication to making sure I felt understood in my position. I feel much more confident moving forward on my case and I am grateful for her time and expertise!

If I could give negative stars, I would. While it may sound cliché, it is absolutely true in this case. If you are considering hiring Ilona, please take a step I regret not taking: ask around about her reputation at various firms. Doing so could save you hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Ilona took 5-6 months to draft a Marital Settlement Agreement (MSA) based on mediation outcomes, a task that should have taken just a few days. This delay resulted in costs of $50,000 to $60,000 for a poorly executed MSA. This amount does not even cover the majority of her work, which was far from satisfactory.
It’s important to know that there are remedies if you find yourself in a situation with an attorney who appears to intentionally botch work for future financial gain. This experience ranks among the top five worst mistakes I've made in 44 years. I cannot stress enough the importance of asking around before hiring.
Additionally, when I requested her to correct her mistakes, she demanded more money to do so. What other service demands additional payment to fix their own intentional errors? It’s incomprehensible.
Also she uses tactics to fool people with multiple google review pages to spam
Out the bad reviews with 5 star reviews with someone with 1-2 reviews and one happens to be for her. Such deceptive behavior

Fred Thiagarajah was an outstanding lawyer and very glad I had him on my side. I was in the unfortunate situation facing criminal charges for the first time in my life. Fred was able to explain each and every step until i was comfortable, giving me options along the way. He is just the right amount of kind and bull dog in that court room. It certainly helps that he had an outstanding rapport with all the court personal inside that court room. Including the DA's. This was a long drawn out battle I was facing. Fred was very fair in pricing and still fought hard to get me the outcome that was more than acceptable to me.

I hired Robert to successfully terminate my informal probation and expunge a previous DUI conviction. Robert was a class act and professional the whole way through. He made me feel comfortable knowing that I hired the right guy, and took the time to discuss and respond to any and all of the questions that I had. I gave him the basic information about my case and he took care of everything else. I highly recommend his services!

At the age of 22, I was sentenced to 50 yrs. to Life. I felt hopeless, sad, depressed and not wanting to think about freedom anymore. It was a miracle when I met Cori. Throughout my 20 yrs. of incarceration, Cori have been by my side for 15 yrs. She provided hope, encouragement, and most importantly support. Due to Cori's hard work and effort my 50 yrs. to life sentence was reduced to 40 yrs. to life. But Cori didn't stop there, she believed and cared about me and eventually I was resentenced to 15 yrs. to life. Within 6 months, I was scheduled to appear before the Board of Parole Hearings, and Cori continued to be there and represent me. Ultimately, I was found suitable for parole on my initial hearing and I am FREE today because of her. Without Cori, I would've been lost, not knowing what to do, and still feel hopeless. Many people who are system -impacted have a mistrust for attorneys but for me I trust Cori. She is determine, committed, and compassionate. I am forever grateful to have Cori as my attorney. You are an amazing attorney and human being, THANK YOU.

Cori and team worked on my case that had very little chance of success. We both decided we must trudge on or we will never know the outcome. This was a case that had been turned down by a number of attorneys over the course of 21 years, but she believed in me and was relentless! When Cori submitted the files and as we were preparing for our hearing, we received great news. The District Attorney conceded! Thanks to Cori’s due diligence, even the DA was moved by my case. At court, the judge had no questions and did not dispute it at all. Violent felony conviction from 1993, 7 years in prison, 21 years of living in fear, and just like that— Cori helped me be a free woman again. I highly recommend Cori’s firm for any post conviction charges where you may have been unjustly charged /convicted. Thank you Cori & team!

Let me start by saying that Mr. Marcus saved my life. I was falsely accused and charged with misdemeanor (Battery). I had hired 2 different attorneys and none of them helped me to prove my innocence.
God lead me to Mr. Marcus and he immediately accepted my case. I knew that it was one of the best decisions I have ever made! I was feeling like my world was falling apart, he helped me regain a sense of peace and he was always there for me, he treated me like family and made me feel secure.
Mr. Marcus has a firm understanding of the law and how the system works.
He is very knowledgeable in his profession. He was entirely compassionate during this difficult time. Mr. Marcus is truly a lawyer you can count on, I can definitely say that he is an exceptional attorney, who goes above and beyond for his clients. He is professional, trustworthy, and extremely diligent.
Mr. Marcus is the epitome of what you call a "GENTLEMAN Lawyer." He is the perfect balance of kindness, professionalism and humanity at its finest. He advocates for me with veracity, truth and an untiring meticulousness to doing the BEST work for me.
Mr. Marcus sees not just me, but he also SEES the family/loved ones that stand behind the accused... he advocates compassionately and UNTIRINGLY for ALL parties affected by tragic events. And, has the wisdom to work diplomatically and firmly with the opposing party. There is a RESPECT that emanates and is INNATE to Attorney Anthony Marcus. In a world gone mad and blinded by the darkness of humanity, HE is the beacon of hope, respect and humanity for all. If you are looking for exceptional representation I would totally recommend this real man. I would recommend Mr. Marcus to any and everyone! His prices are reasonable and he will fight for you.
MR. MARCUS DISMISSED MY CASE AFTER 20 MINUTES WITH DA NEGOTIATION.
He stayed true to his word and got my entire case dismissed for about a year I was really stressed couldn't really live life thinking the worst.
Thank you Mr. Marcus for your unwavering dedication to my cause. You are "An Angel in disguise." You are BLESSING. And, I assure you, that we will pay your infinite kindness FORWARD. Thank you & God bless you to keep fighting the good fight.
I’m eternally grateful

I had an opened case for over 25 years in Los Angeles, CA. that was preventing me into getting my U.S citizenship. Jason was capable of finding my case while I was located in Florida.

Mr. Jason Coker represented my case for an outstanding bench warrant that was very concerning to me. There was a real possibility I could have been remanded into custody and have to post bail. Jason was very conscientious and gave me careful instruction on how to proceed with the matter. He then went before the judge on my behalf and deftly dealt with the case, and got me the result I wanted. I was not taken into custody and only had to pay the fine I owed the court. I strongly recommend Jason to anyone who needs the services of a criminal lawyer.

I got my first DUI, and had no clue what to do. Not only was Jason Coker completely capable of handling my situation, but he also made me feel comfortable and more secure about my situation. I was charged with my first DUI with a .1 reading on the breathalyzer at the scene. My situation looked bad, but through it all Jason got my case down to a wet reckless and even struck a deal where I didn't get a breathalyzer put in my car. He is a highly qualified lawyer and a great guy. I'd recommend him to anybody.

After charging with a DUI, I searched for a lawyer that I can trust and rely on to defend me. I stumble on the Anthony Marcus Law Firm on Yelp. I was really amazed with the good reviews I was reading about attorney Marcus. I then went to other links that show more outstanding reviews. I, there and then decided to contact him, the reviews were really accurate, he was friendly, patient and explained all the steps of navigating the court regarding my case. I meet with him afterward. Immediately, I observed his confident and his knowledge of the law. He truly changed my anxiety to calmness. Not only he did what he said he will do, he is affordable. He gave me a discount after he initially gave me a good price compare to other attorneys’ quotes. When he appeared in court, Mr. Marcus immediately communicated with the DA and the court and got me a good deal from the court with no jail time even though my case involved property damages to others. I recommend him to my friend and he also was very accommodating. I highly recommend this honest and genuine lawyer to anyone in need of effective representation.

Once again, Linda has come to my rescue. Earlier this year I was issued a speeding ticket from Anaheim Police Department (doing 65 in a 35.) I was worried that my insurance was going to go through the roof due to this violation.
I contacted Linda, sent her my citation and I didn’t think twice about it. Linda kept me informed every step of the way - when she got court appearance extensions, when she was attending my arraignment and when she attended my trial. Of course, she was able to get my case DISMISSED!!

James Sweeney is unparalleled in his professional and easy-going handling of his cases, the meticulous research he engages with, and the drive to success in his cases. I can say that because he won my case. He aims to win and has the drive to follow it through to the end. If you need an attorney to go to bat for you, James Sweeney would be welcome on any team as a pinch hitter to get the job completed with everything given to that goal.

Ashley was fantastic. I was referred to him by a friend when I need help and felt well represented during the process. Ashley was very patient. He answered all my questions and explain things to me multiple times. At the same times he doesn't bog you down with too much information or jargon which would have overwhelmed me. He was also very personal and I got to know him a bit. We connected on several points, particularly being a father to our kids. In the end he knew exactly how things would play out and we got the best possible outcome. I fully recommend Ashley and for you to trust him. Thank you, Ashley!

Ultimately, from the moment you meet him to the time he wins your case Ashley gives you everything he has. I strongly recommend him!!!

Ashley Daniel,
I am so thankful for Ash and his incredible skills as a lawyer. My situation was so complicated and seemed like it would never end. I was on probation in Orange County and I was granted an interstate compact to the state I lived in. While on probation I was charged with crimes in another state and eventually turned myself into that state. The state I lived in put a warrant out for my arrest and would eventually withdraw the warrant once my probation was transferred back to Orange County and a warrant for my arrest for probation violation.
After working out my current situation it was time to fix my OC probation problem which was a much bigger problem than I had thought. I had a really bad lawyer represent me in my OC case and I did not know that if I violated my probation, I would have to do a mandatory 5 year 4 months. To say my situation was bad was an understatement because it was worse than bad, I thought I was going to spend the next 10 years incarcerated.
I contacted several lawyers in Orange County to help me with my problem and they all said they could not help me. I left a message for Ash and really wasn’t expecting a call back at all but, he called and changed my world. He was kind and not like any lawyer I had ever met before and I will just say this much I currently have 4 lawyers in 4 states. I have 2 paid attorneys and 2 public defenders and to be honest Ash is the best and he even impressed my high-power lawyer and has left an impression on him which I notice today.
After sharing my situation with him he said let me do some research over the weekend and I will get back with you. He also said he didn’t want to charge me anything until he knew if he could help me and I had never heard that from a lawyer before ever. Ash called me the next week and with confidence told me his plan of attack and I was convinced he was going to be able to help me through this and he did.
In one week’s, time Ash had spoken with one of my lawyers, probation officer and district attorney. He also was able to set up a court appearance without me having to attend and was able to have my warrant removed, my probation closed, and my 5 years 4 months sentence run concurrent with the time in the other state.
Ash genuinely cares about his clients and practicing law the right way. I never felt like he was in it for the money or that he was working for the DA. He did his homework, had a plan, executed his plan and was able to get me everything he said in his plan. I forgot to mention when he told me his price, I thought he was going to take my money and do bare minimum. I am working on giving him more money because I feel like I got over on him and it isn’t sitting well with me…lol
If you are in need of a lawyer please look no further than Ashley Daniel, because he is a diamond in the messed-up world of criminal law!

I was facing a year in jail and felt like there was no hope. That’s when I fired the attorney I had been working with and called Vincent LaBarbera. From the very first consultation he made me feel assured that I was in good hands and he was right! Not only did I not spend a day in jail but all charges were dismissed and I have Vincent to thank for it! His knowledge of the justice system and his no-nonsense approach saved me from a lot of sleepless nights. I hope to never be in the situation I found myself in again but if I ever need to call an Attorney there is no question or hesitation that person will be Vincent LaBarbera!

Vincent is an extremely skilled attorney in the courtroom and it showed as I watched him work with the other attorneys who were representing co-defendants in my case. Vincent outshined everyone else in the courtroom. It was clear to me that he knows how to handle difficult cases. I was very pleased with the outcome of my case and highly recommend his service

I am incredibly satisfied with the work that he did for us and cannot thank him enough for all of his help.

I was involved in a horrible incedent that was not my fault. The DA's office was trying to crucify me and if it wasnt for Mr Watson I think I would have been another vic of the system. Mr Watson interviewed all my witnesses and obtained vital information which led to my case being dismissed. Ive never been in a situation like this in my life but Mr Watson and his team prevailed for me. If you need a competent criminal attorney ...get Mr Watson

I hired Mukund to represent me in my criminal case and he was very effective. He was well respected in the court by the judge and staff. He took the time to ask me all the right questions to learn the facts of my case and he did a great job keeping me informed the entire way. If you need an attorney, you should get Mukund on your side.

Mukund was very professional and a great listener. He did things in my case to buy me more time, so I can situate my life. He understood that my goal was not to serve jail time so he was very tactical about presenting different alternatives that I can do instead of jail time and presented them to the judge in a timely manner. He was a great negotiator. Whenever I called the office to ask questions about my case they always answered. The receptionist Gay was the first person I talked to when I called, so whenever I called I asked for her. Gay listened and remembered me. She was very understanding of what I was going through and made me feel like I had someone to talk to throughout my whole process. Every receptionist there was very nice and helpful as well. My conclusion of my case was NO JAIL TIME. In place of no jail time I had to do my terms and conditions, which is community service, anger management classes, etcc...
I wanted to thank u again mukund my brother THANK YOU !!

Mukund Arun is a very sharp and knowledgeable negotiator, who conducts himself in a highly professional, ethical manner. My ex-husband was extremely spiteful, who did everything to try to make my life miserable, and was constantly making false accusations during this process. In the previous years, I have observed my ex-husband and found that he has a narcissist personality. Through this personality disorder he has used my two children as pawns in a game he felt that needed to be played. He has made them lie to the police and Child Protective Services, just to gain leverage and build a case against me that makes me look like an unfit parent which he hoped would result in him receiving full custody of my children. During this process Mr. Arun displayed overwhelming professionalism in dealing with the situation and communicated with my custody lawyer to ensure both sides understood the situation. Overall, Mr. Arun has done an outstanding job and constantly went above and beyond in all areas especially in communicating with my custody lawyer and frequently ensured that I understood every detail of my case. I am very pleased with the outcome of my settlement, and I would highly recommend Mr. Arun for anyone dealing with this type of situation.

Brenton Whitney Aitken Hands is a consummate Professional and worked incredibly long and hard to ensure the truth was set forth in a case in which our family member had been falsely charged and illegally detained in isolation in Orange County, California. As a result of Mr. Hands intelligent creation of a Motion to Dismiss the case the DA filed, then didn't even Oppose the Motion. As a result our loved one is free today to pursue justice in other venues and live his life far away from the criminals wearing badges in the OC. Thank you Brenton for your outstanding work and we highly recommend anyone seeking an expert in Police Misconduct and Civil Rights Violations to retain the services of Mr. Hands.

I’m not one to write reviews good or bad. But I will say that my families experience with Conor Nideffer was excellent.

Conor is amazing. I felt so comfortable from the first phone call, like I had a trusted friend looking out for me, not just an attorney. He not only helped me after a car accident (and got it settled for full value,) he is also now helping my family and I with our estate plans. So happy to have found him and have also referred him to friends. Thanks, Conor!!

Ms. Eyanson was an integral part of helping me resolve a serious legal matter that dogged me for nearly five years. She shepherded me through a very long process. Thanks in no small part to her representation, ultimately the issues were resolved in my favor. I’m very grateful for her counsel and highly recommend her to others. She genuinely cares about her clients and that’s quite obvious. I recommend her highly

I would recommend Giavanna Concetta Deprima to anyone! She is very professional and responsive person, who takes your case in on a personal level. I am a single mom who has never had to seek professional help, and to tell you the truth, I was terrified on the way to my first visit. Once I got to the office, I felt welcome. Not only did that first visit get the ball rolling in my case, but after talking to Giavanna I felt like there was a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders. Now instead of going to court alone, scared and afraid I might lose by a technicality, I go in with my head high knowing that I have a friend fighting for me. By the way, she won my case!! Thank You Giavanna

I hired Mr. Salas on a last minute problem I had . He met with me the night before my court date and helped me get ready for it. I was very nervous and scared he was able to ease my worries with his legal advice and help . The next day he showed up to court on my behalf and was able to get me into court last minute which helped reduce my charges . I had a smooth hearing and everything he said would happen did . I feel that if I wouldn't have hired him not only would I have not made it to my court date but my charges would of been way worse . Thank you Juan you have been great and I will definitely continue to use your legal services .

Al Stokke worked with Ed Welbourn on my case, and I am so thankful that he did. Al was actually the first person I met at CWS. It is a testament to both the collaborative nature of the firm and Al’s own self-confidence that he chose to bring in Ed Welbourn and eventually allow him to take the lead on my case. Al is the old gentleman of CWS, and in every interaction I had with him—from meetings to court appearances—I was struck by the weight of his experience. He knows case law going back decades, like all good lawyers, but he knows it personally. Al’s experience and expertise proved profoundly helpful to both me and my wife as we faced the charges against me and considered our options throughout the legal process. I am so thankful he was a part of my team.

I spoke with John a couple of times about an issue we were having and he had a thorough knowledge of the law and what could be done. He was able to give me some advice but not take on a case, which was very helpful in a difficult situation.

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.
