Let me be more informative. I had a negative review before when i needed help with civil rights laws. See i am a 20 yr combat veteran with almost 6 years in Iraq and Afghanistan. I spent 4 months in hospital for injuries from war. I have a piece of medical equipment called a service dog and constantly treated sub human for having a service dog. I may be completely wrong but I felt from our conversation he had no interest in helping. And now that situation has escalated to a point Im seeking help elsewhere.

I am from ohio. During my visit to New Jersey later last year I got into trouble while in Casinos. As a result I had a couple of felony charges. Attorney michael woloshin represented me on every single court appearance without me having to fly back from ohio. His excellence in his work is evident as he got my felony charges reduced to a misdemeanor! My sincere thanks to you mike for your outstanding service with positive results!!!I highly recommend attorney Michael woloshin to anyone who is in a difficult situation. Please rest assured, you will be in good hands with a peace of mind.

I had a lot of questions about an estate. Mr. Clark had every answer to all my questions. He gave such great advice on how everything should be handled which made it easy for our family. I did call another Attorney but wasn't happy with how he responded. He unlike Mr. Clark seem to have to pause and even get back with me for some of the answers. Mr. Clark answered every question without pause and never had to refer to books or another Attorney. I highly recommend him for any and all legal questions or problems. He handles every case and treats you as if you are the only one who matters which I did NOT receive from anyone else.

I needed some legal paper work done plus some advise. He never failed to be there for me. He really cares about people and it shows. No matter what he will always listen and is right there to help. He will put in many hours for you and his day doesn't end at 5:00 PM like most attorneys I have had before. He will work for you after hours and even weekends too. You will NOT find a better attorney anywhere.

I hired Jacqueline Mayer, or should I say I hired the law firm that Jacqueline Mayer worked at after being accused of a misdemeanor crime. I did not hire Jacqueline or the firm that she was working at because of AVVO. I hired the law firm due to their reputation and feedback given by other clients through Google. Shortly thereafter Jacqueline Mayer decided to leave the law firm and to start her own practice. After Consulting with the law firm and getting to know Jacqueline Mayer initially I was given the choice to either stay with the law firm or to continue to have Jacqueline Mayer represent me outside of their Law Firm. I chose to stay with Jacqueline Mayer only because I had been initially working with her and established a preliminary relationship with her. I only later realized that this was the biggest mistake I could have made. Jacqueline is young and quite inexperienced. I later found out that before briefly working at the aforementioned Law Firm Jacqueline Mayer had worked with the District Attorney's office for several years here in Lexington Kentucky and had a personal understanding of the judge that had been assigned my court case. I, as most people might, thought that her working knowledge of the judge was very encouraging. Here in Lexington, as in most communities, having an attorney that has a understanding of their working environment as well as a working relationship with the prosecuting attorney seems like a great strategic choice. As you may or may not know the police only need reasonable suspicion of a crime having been committed which is much different than the standard required in court which is based on facts Beyond A Reasonable Doubt. Reasonable Suspicion is basically and alleged victims statement. Whereas in court you have to present evidence that a crime has been committed and there is evidence Beyond Reasonable Doubt that you would be guilty of a crime. The prosecutor's office nor the detectives involved had any evidence other than an accusation that a crime had been committed. However Jacqueline's inexperience as a defense attorney and close working relationship with the prosecutor's office turned out to be a little less than a complete nightmare for me. In the few months the Jacqueline Mayor representing me she did not file not even one motion. There was no motion for an evidentiary hearing there was no motion to examine a witness and their most certainly was no motion to dismiss because the prosecutor's office and the detectives had absolutely zero evidence other than an accusation. Let's remember that one's friend Court the standard for prosecution or for a trial conviction is evidence Beyond Reasonable Doubt. Jacqueline Mayor, after our first pre-trial hearing seemed absolutely lost. Pretrial hearing after pretrial hearing was called by the judge and Jacqueline Mayor did absolutely nothing other than show up in court. After the 5th or 6th pretrial hearing I began getting the impression that Jacqueline Mayer had never defended a case by herself in her entire life. After the 5th or 6th pre-trial hearing I demanded evidence of exactly what she had done to represent me other than to show up in court. At this time I begin initial conversations with a different attorney. As a result of me having demanded evidence of what she had done to deserve such a healthy fee she produced absolutely nothing and the court records can easily represent exactly what I'm saying to be the truth. Very shortly after being provided zero evidence that Jacqueline Mayer had done anything with my case other than to show up in court I began securing representation from another attorney. My patience with Jacqueline Mayer had come to an end. At this point Jacqueline and I had a conversation. And by conversation I mean that I basically verbally drug her from one end of Main Street to the other. Long story short my new attorney had my case dismissed within two hearings and made sure my record was completely expunged!

If you want an attorney who will fight for you, she's your type! She is old-school in her style in how she carries herself in a no nonsense manner. She does not put you off or beat around the bush. Again, she will fight for you, and she is not afraid to assert her authority in an effective manner. There is nothing meek or mild about her, which is why she has me for a client for life!!!!

James represented my grandson in a Juvenile Criminal Case starting in September of last year. I cannot tell you the amount of respect he turned around about lawyers for us in this amount of time. He was diligent, respectful of our situation, was able to gain confidence and give sound advice to my grandson. He took him under his wing and helped us all get thru this. He even gave us a book that helped us understand how Messy life can be. We as a family has gained a lot of love for this man. He is the lawyer to go to in times of trust, need, and can calm any situation you have. Thank you James for literally everything you have done for us and our grandson. We went thru a lot and he was right there thru it all with us!

Run don't walk from this attorney. He lied to me about a flat rate. He allowed things to go on for months and did absolutely nothing. He literally did nothing. Then he came to me for more money.He was timid and afraid to talk to the DA. He did everything to stall and milk time. He is completely unprofessional. This man does not represent his client. He is unethical and I will be filing a complaint with the Bar association.

I came to Erin during a very vulnerable and scary time in my life needing to end an emotionally abuse marriage. Erin listened to basically my whole life story to make sure she understood the entire situation and figure out how best she could help me.
She listened to all of my concerns, answered all of my questions, and explained every step of the process to me in detail. She would routinely email or call me during the divorce process just to check in and see how I was holding up. My calls and emails were always promptly returned, even if business hours had ended.
After my divorce was final, related legal issues continued (through no fault of Erin’s) and she continued to provide legal advice and representation above and beyond what one would expect.
I also have to add a shout out to Maria and Kathleen on Erin’s team! Everyone on staff made me feel that they truly cared about what I was going through and wanted to do all they could to support me.
I simply cannot say enough good things about working with Erin and her team! You should have absolutely no reservations about hiring Erin to guide you through any legal issues you may have.

I wanted 50/50 custody with my child, and this is what I told Brenda. She pretty much ignored me and told me the only option I has was the standard parenting order. The mother violated the order and when I asked her to file contempt charges, she told me the judge would never find her in contempt. She didnt fight for me. She didnt fight for my child.

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.
