Mark Longwell is truly one of the best attorneys I've ever had the privilege of working with. His track record speaks for itself—100 out of 100! Wins! Every case feels like he's fighting for his own family, but instead, he's fighting for mine. Longwell Lawyers consistently delivers exceptional service, and I will continue to rely on Mark and his outstanding team whenever I need legal representation. Their reasonable pricing, prompt communication, and deep understanding of the law make them unbeatable. I highly recommend Longwell Lawyers to anyone seeking top-tier legal expertise without having to search through endless reviews—this is the firm you can trust to get the job done right.

Update* first and foremost, I have not had time sharing with my son since I asked Mouse to file contempt. That was 26 days ago. This was the action that Longwell advised against. Then the moment he filed for withdraw, the opposing side figured they don’t have to follow any time sharing. They know he has my $, and they know I can’t hire another lawyer without that $.
Second, abusive? How does being disrespectful magically upgrade to abusive? Oh I wrote a review, so you lied. Get over it. Let’s define abuse. Improper use of something. You quit, you’re holding onto TWELVE THOUSAND DOLLARS, with zero legal ability to charge against it, and you refuse to return it to your former client so he can hire a new lawyer. That’s abusing funds. My pool boy returns the money within a week if he doesn’t provide the service.
Third, you did not call me Mr Longwell, which means you could not have left a message. If you did, prove it cause I can prove you didn’t. Why would you lie about something so trivial.
I’ve updated to include the most recent billing after they quit. It is an indisputable fact that they have now paid themselves more in one month to quit, than any of the other previous months they claimed they did diligent work.
I hired Longwell lawyers early 2021 for a paternity trial. It is August 2024, no parenting plan agreement. No Trial, Carson Mouser is withdrawing claiming I am rude and disrespectful. I never hired him, I had hired a different attorney in their firm and my case was eventually “assessed to benefit” from being appointed Mouser. I had no choice in the matter.
He had agreed to go to trial, I paid him $2000 to “prepare” and then Mouser requested $10,000 for trial. Eventually the opposition hired a lawyer and requested an update within 30 days or I was going to default. I sent an email to Mouser asking what I needed at the beginning of the work week. He never responded, at all. I sent him two more emails after the mother refused to exchange at the end of the work week, he didn’t respond. I had to call Mousers office, once he got on the phone I had asked him why he didn’t answer me and he said that I sent my email directly to him. My exact words were, “that’s a problem?” And Mouser said he’s done, he’s withdrawing. So I asked for a return of my money, he said to call the office.
I call the office and they tell me they will ONLY RETURN MY MONEY AFTER I SIGN CONSENT and then they have 90 days to return it after the motion is granted. I ask for my file and they said they only turn it over after withdrawing.
Let’s be super clear. They were paid since 2021 to go to trial. They have 12k specifically for trial. They have made their intentions clear they will NOT go to trial. But will NOT return money they do not intend to use. They are aware I have to respond to the courts within 24 days or I default.
Can you imagine your former lawyer holding onto the only $ you had for trial after they filed for a trial date, $ which they don’t even intend to use? I don’t make a lot of money. They know that though. I have been the sole provider for daycare for the entire year, and barely can pay that.
I see Mark Longwell has responded to a previous poor review about Carson Mouser. His argument will be I was rude and disrespectful. Even if your lawyers assumed I was disrespectful, their response is to blow the case for their precious client? Hold onto money I’ve paid for trial after filing for a trial? If anything I said here is untrue, you should sue me. Cause I’ve been left with the choice to either pay for a new lawyer, or pay for VPK.
$12,000 being held. 40kish more already wasted. I should have never hired them and fired them the moment they stuck Mr Mouse on the job without my consent.
I should have just bought oceanfront property in Colorado. The same exact result would be happening right now. No parenting plan, no trial, money for trial stuck with in a useless spot.

I can’t say enough about this firm. If you’re looking for an attorney that will make the most out of your case and is also compassionate look no further. This firm has the best attorneys in the area. They are always there when you need them and answer calls and e-mails right away. One of the attorneys in particular, Muna Abraham has gone above and beyond to fix something that was handled incorrectly by another firm. She not only fixed the issue in a timely manner, but kept touching base with us to make sure everything is going the way it should. She is extremely knowledgeable and updated in the changing laws and will work hard for you! Not every firm is the same, and if I could give this one a 10 star I would. Thank you so much!!

I recently hired Simon Wiseman to represent my husband in a criminal case, and I am incredibly pleased with the results and the quality of service provided. Simon did an outstanding job, managing to get the charges reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor and eventually dismissed.
Simon was exceptionally responsive throughout the entire process. He kept us informed at every stage, promptly answering all our questions and providing clear explanations of complex legal issues. His communication skills and ability to explain our options in a way that was easy to understand made a significant difference during this stressful time.
In terms of professionalism, Simon demonstrated a high level of dedication and commitment to my husband's case. He was always punctual, well-prepared, and handled every aspect with the utmost care and attention to detail. His expertise in criminal law was evident from the start, and his strategic approach was crucial in achieving a favorable outcome.
The results speak for themselves: thanks to Simon's diligent work and skilled advocacy, the case was reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor and then dismissed altogether. This outcome has had a profoundly positive impact on our lives, and we are deeply grateful for his efforts.
Overall, I had an extremely positive experience working with Simon Wiseman and would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a top-notch criminal defense attorney. His dedication, expertise, and exceptional communication skills make him an outstanding choice for legal representation.

Highly recommended! Mr Jeremiah Allen is absolutely amazing! Mr Allen assisted with all my needs effectively.

Third, you did not call me Mr Longwell, which means you could not have left a message. If you did, prove it cause I can prove you didn’t. Why would you lie about something so trivial.
I’ve updated to include the most recent billing after they quit. It is an indisputable fact that they have now paid themselves more in one month to quit, than any of the other previous months they claimed they did diligent work.
I hired Longwell lawyers early 2021 for a paternity trial. It is August 2024, no parenting plan agreement. No Trial, Carson Mouser is withdrawing claiming I am rude and disrespectful. I never hired him, I had hired a different attorney in their firm and my case was eventually “assessed to benefit” from being appointed Mouser. I had no choice in the matter.
He had agreed to go to trial, I paid him $2000 to “prepare” and then Mouser requested $10,000 for trial. Eventually the opposition hired a lawyer and requested an update within 30 days or I was going to default. I sent an email to Mouser asking what I needed at the beginning of the work week. He never responded, at all. I sent him two more emails after the mother refused to exchange at the end of the work week, he didn’t respond. I had to call Mousers office, once he got on the phone I had asked him why he didn’t answer me and he said that I sent my email directly to him. My exact words were, “that’s a problem?” And Mouser said he’s done, he’s withdrawing. So I asked for a return of my money, he said to call the office.
I call the office and they tell me they will ONLY RETURN MY MONEY AFTER I SIGN CONSENT and then they have 90 days to return it after the motion is granted. I ask for my file and they said they only turn it over after withdrawing.
Let’s be super clear. They were paid since 2021 to go to trial. They have 12k specifically for trial. They have made their intentions clear they will NOT go to trial. But will NOT return money they do not intend to use. They are aware I have to respond to the courts within 24 days or I default.
Can you imagine your former lawyer holding onto the only $ you had for trial after they filed for a trial date, $ which they don’t even intend to use? I don’t make a lot of money. They know that though. I have been the sole provider for daycare for the entire year, and barely can pay that.
I see Mark Longwell has responded to a previous poor review about Carson Mouser. His argument will be I was rude and disrespectful. Even if your lawyers assumed I was disrespectful, their response is to blow the case for their precious client? Hold onto money I’ve paid for trial after filing for a trial? If anything I said here is untrue, you should sue me. Cause I’ve been left with the choice to either pay for a new lawyer, or pay for VPK.
$12,000 being held. 40kish more already wasted. I should have never hired them and fired them the moment they stuck Mr Mouse on the job without my consent.
I should have just bought oceanfront property in Colorado. The same exact result would be happening right now. No parenting plan, no trial, money for trial stuck with in a useless spot.

I can’t say enough about this firm. If you’re looking for an attorney that will make the most out of your case and is also compassionate look no further. This firm has the best attorneys in the area. They are always there when you need them and answer calls and e-mails right away. One of the attorneys in particular, Muna Abraham has gone above and beyond to fix something that was handled incorrectly by another firm. She not only fixed the issue in a timely manner, but kept touching base with us to make sure everything is going the way it should. She is extremely knowledgeable and updated in the changing laws and will work hard for you! Not every firm is the same, and if I could give this one a 10 star I would. Thank you so much!!

Mark Longwell is truly one of the best attorneys I've ever had the privilege of working with. His track record speaks for itself—100 out of 100! Wins! Every case feels like he's fighting for his own family, but instead, he's fighting for mine. Longwell Lawyers consistently delivers exceptional service, and I will continue to rely on Mark and his outstanding team whenever I need legal representation. Their reasonable pricing, prompt communication, and deep understanding of the law make them unbeatable. I highly recommend Longwell Lawyers to anyone seeking top-tier legal expertise without having to search through endless reviews—this is the firm you can trust to get the job done right.

Update* first and foremost, I have not had time sharing with my son since I asked Mouse to file contempt. That was 26 days ago. This was the action that Longwell advised against. Then the moment he filed for withdraw, the opposing side figured they don’t have to follow any time sharing. They know he has my $, and they know I can’t hire another lawyer without that $.
Second, abusive? How does being disrespectful magically upgrade to abusive? Oh I wrote a review, so you lied. Get over it. Let’s define abuse. Improper use of something. You quit, you’re holding onto TWELVE THOUSAND DOLLARS, with zero legal ability to charge against it, and you refuse to return it to your former client so he can hire a new lawyer. That’s abusing funds. My pool boy returns the money within a week if he doesn’t provide the service.

Their attention to detail and strategic approach were impressive, resulting in a favorable outcome for me and my family. Additionally, his professionalism, knowledge, and communication skills were exemplary throughout the entire process.

I had the pleasure of working with Amal Laassel for my citizenship exam, and I can't recommend her highly enough! As an Arabic speaker, her ability to communicate in my language made the process so much easier and less stressful. She was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, guiding me through every step of the immigration process. Her personalized study materials and thorough preparation really boosted my confidence. On exam day, I felt ready and well-supported, thanks to her dedication. I’m thrilled to say I passed! If you need an immigration attorney who understands both the legal complexities and the cultural nuances, Amal Laassel is the one to choose. Thank you for everything!

I hired Amal to represent me in my citizenship interview after I had been denied. I was told that i shouldn’t hire an attorney because it will not help me at all and that I would never get my citizenship. But Amal was amazing! She helped me with the process step by step and even helped me study for the test. Today I was approved and she was even able to get me my oath ceremony right away. She is really smart and fights for you. I had options to chose other immigration lawyers in Orlando that speak Arabic and Moroccan but I chose Amal because I had a good feeling when I met her and and I am so happy!!! She is A+++

immigration case took longer than usual. I worked with many lawyers at different stages of my case but my experience with Ms Alkhateib was different and absolutely the most productive. My first observation was that she gave me all the time I needed to tell her about my lengthy case, she never intruppted me or showed me that I was taking too long. She took her time to study my case then offered me the best possible legal advice which eventually lead to a full resolution of my case in a short time. She is very respectful and professional. In all my three appointments she arrived at the immigration office before me. I am glad that I used her office to represent me.

I was desperate to get the lien document because we are in the process of refinancing our House and it was the only document that I was waiting to close the deal. We paid what we owed but for some reason it took too long to drop the check to their bank to clear up until our Refinance processed got expired and I was so frustrated because we got everything done except the lien document. The person that I spoke to in the phone told me, it was not their fault because they sent the letter awhile ago to let us know what we owed. Very inconsiderate! first of all you don't know what we went through just to survive on this difficult time. It took over a month to processed our payments till now I don't have the lien document yet. I would not recommend this law firm.

My mom and I had the displeasure of talking with Cynthia Nunn from Leighton Law to discuss going after Orlando Health for their negligence in treating my dad's cancer, which led to his passing. Not only did she make us relive our nightmarish story that we had already submitted online, she wasted our time by shutting us down immediately. If she was going to say no, why make us relive the trauma? To add insult to injury, she was actually defending the negligent doctors in question and straight up told us that our loved one was going to die anyway. Whether that was true or not, you do not just say that so nonchalantly to other people. You would not like that if someone said that about your dad. I am almost glad they did not take our case because I would rather deal with the devil himself than deal with Cynthia and Leighton Law after the added emotional damage she did to us.

I contacted the Michael Reese Law Firm after my adult son was involved in a near-fatal car accident. I spoke with Nanette Cruz regarding representing him for Social Security benefits. Nanette assured me she was very confident my son would qualify for benefits and then moved quickly to schedule his case for what turned out to be a successful SSI hearing.
The Social Security Administration process from hearing to actually awarding benefits can take many months. However, when evaluating the attorney who put the process in motion, I could have not been more pleased than I was with Nanette.
Unfortunately, after he received approval, my son had a misstep which could have caused him to lose all benefits, but Nanette immediately filed an appeal. She successfully explained my son’s misunderstanding and had his benefits reinstated.
I could not be more grateful for Nanette’s original success and then for her expertise that saved my son’s benefits. My son’s life has been tremendously improved and we will never be able to thank her enough. She is an exceptional attorney who cares greatly about the welfare of her clients. I recommend Nanette Cruz at the Michael Reese Law Firm completely and without reservation.

I was attempting to handle my own disability case for some time. After about a year with no success, I finally decided to hire a lawyer, and I am so grateful to have found Attorney Nanette Cruz. Mrs. Cruz was
extremely professional from the very beginning. Her dedicated team always maintained contact with me throughout the life of my case, she was able to obtain all the relevant evidence early on, and she took the time to sit with me before my hearing. I was nervous at first, but I felt well prepared when I went before the Judge. I am happy to report that I have been fully approved for my disability, which makes a huge difference in my life. The quality I received from this office, cannot be found in the larger firms. If you're looking for quality, and not just size, I highly recommend Reese Legal. Thank you Nanette!

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.
