Quiero hacer esta reseña en español especial mente para aquellas personas que no tienen el privilegio de hablar Ingles y en algún momento sienten el temor de recibir servicios, quiero que sepan que sin ningún miedo pueden llegar a esta oficina porque para mí fueron especiales sus tratos desde que abres la puerta hasta que llegamos juntos a la corte. Lástima que solo existen 5 estrellas yo le daría una infinidad, quiero reconocer en especial a la Paralegal Erika Barbosa y la abogada Bridgette Williams que en todo momento nos hicieron sentir en familia y sin dudas que el caso terminaba con los mejores resultados.

I couldn't be more satisfied with the the service I received. Everything that was promised was delivered, and more. My case was dismissed, I saved money, and I didn't have to waste my time with a traffic class. Jeff Lotter and Marissa were attentive and helpful. I hope I won't need to seek this kind of help again, but if I do, I know who to call.

Awesome experience being represented by the Law Office of Jeff Lotter. Talked to them twice and explained the situation and they handled everything else. Had the whole case dismissed: no fines, no points, no school, nothing!

I will forever be grateful to Jonathan Rose and his assistant Julie Volk for guiding me through one of the most difficult periods of my life. At first I did not take my case seriously because I was convinced that the truth would prevail. I was wrong. When I learned that the DOH was investigating me for diversion I was shocked and after having a panic attack, I started calling every lawyer that popped up on google. I spoke to many attorneys who were very helpful but I chose Jonathan because he listened to all the details of the case and offered a clear plan on how we could reach the best possible outcome. We stuck to the plan and in the end, The Board of Nursing found no violation occurred and closed the case. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, do not assume that it will go away on its own. Whether you made a mistake or are completely innocent, I highly recommend you hire an attorney because the risk is too high to take on the DOH on your own. I truly believe that Jonathan Rose is the right man for the job.

Newsome Melton represented me in a very positive manner. Always professional, courteous, supportive and attentive. They were always able to keep me apprised of the status of my case. Jesse Stern and the team on my case were always easy to work with and on top of all issues. I never had to wonder where we were at in the process. I would recommend them to anyone needing this type of help in the future.

Todd and his staff are so incredible. After being in TWO motor accidents within 3 months, they ensured that I received proper care and was given proper compensation for my injuries. I called them all the time (probably too much😂) for status updates and they made sure I had all the information I needed to feel secure and educated about my case. If you are in need of someone who cares about you and not just your money, I highly recommend Todd and his team.

Strong mentioned receiving 14 calls this week on the same issue from other folks. I highly recommend Jd. Strong; he is transparent, ethical, and knowledgeable. He also said, "If you encounter any issues after discussing them, call me back, and we will address them."

My case was solved in the most impressive and fastest way I thought it would be. We were supposed to have court in January. When I hired Smith and Eulo they sent me Scott Messinger and Isabella Vicentelo. These two worked fast to get my fiance out of jail and not only that but they got the case dropped, in other words, no more court, all that in less than a month. There were 3 charges and all of them dropped! We could not believe! I never met my lawyers in person and I was never able to thank them enough. It actually took us few days realize all these were true. Thank you guys so much. Thank you Scott Messinger and Isabella Vicentelo for the amazing service. You guys were the best!

From the very first day of walking into Mr. Pollack’s office, we were assured of his due diligence and expertise on the cases at hand. His attention to detail and ability to empathize with us as clients, is very commendable. While the experience was very traumatizing, Mr. Pollack listened and heard our voices and worked to ensure the outcomes of the case exhibited just that. He was very proactive, knowledgeable, and honest. Mr. Pollack’s office staff was well to work with as well. Pam answered every call and made sure she updated us with each and everything related to the case. As a team, they were exceptional. I highly recommend retaining attorney Pollack. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to justice!

I cannot thank Christina enough for the incredible support and expertise they provided after my car accident. From the beginning, she was compassionate, attentive, and determined to help me get the medical treatment and compensation I deserved. Christina guided me through every step of the process,explaining everything clearly and keeping me informed at all times.
Her dedication to my case was evident, as she worked tirelessly to ensure I received fair treatment from both the insurance companies and medical providers. Thanks to her efforts, I was able to focus on my recovery without the added stress of legal battles. In the end, I received the compensation I needed to cover my medical expenses and move forward with my life.
If you’re looking for a lawyer who truly cares about their clients and will fight for your rights, I highly recommend Christina. She went above and beyond for me, and I’m confident she’ll do the same for anyone in need of legal representation.

Questions? We have answers
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.
