I had some legal issues with the federal government and fired two attorneys before finally being referred to Richard Novak by one of my attorneys who I kept as council. Richard is excellent at what he does and truly cares about his clients best interests. He always made time for me and never once made a big deal out of it. He doesn’t over bill but at the same isn’t cheap, but is worth every penny. He’s aggressive but yet extremly calculated and strategic. He listens and also gives solid advise. He’s bullet proof and if your having any type of serious criminal or civil federal matters don’t look anywhere else. This is the attorney to hire and keep in your phone book for the rest of your life. A solid and honest man who will do exactly as he says...and looks at the bigger picture not the short run. I wouldn’t hire any other attorney for any serious matters, Richard Novak is by far one of the most professional and respectful attorneys I have met. He doesn’t have a god complex like most lawyers and he is still very human and humble, but extremly good at his craft. He mangaged to settle my issues with the federal government in just 2 months when other lawyers I fired simply had been dragging their feet to just bill me more and more and accomplished nothing. Your lucky if you ever come across another attorney like Richard Novak in your life time. Hes an anomaly in the legal world. If you chose to retain him you won’t be disappointed by any means. He’s a lifer like I stated. Keep him in your phone book for life. Highly recommended

I usually do not write reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience for anyone facing the stress of serious legal threats—call attorney Donald Matson! He took the time to listen, thoroughly analyze the situation, and explain potential scenarios and outcomes with exceptional expertise, clarity, patience, and empathy. He even responded promptly to my text at Friday evening family dinner time! He restored my faith in humanity!

I called Michele out of the blue and she was able to take swift action. My situation was stressful to say the least, and after talking it over with her, she put my mind at rest. After being thoroughly detailed on the process and her plan of action, she went to work. She completed my case and was able to get it thrown out of court entirely. I couldn't be more grateful and I can now move forward without any worries. I will certainly call upon Michele Ferroni again if the need ever arises.

***Replying to Counts Law Firm's Response***
In our original "free consultation" on 9/11 I made it clear that I would reach out to you when I was ready but you charged me $500 to send me a retainer agreement on case completely unrelated to the case you were hired for. I never requested a retainer agreement from you. They never disclosed that they would charge me for the consolation on 9/11 at any point. You charged me $1000 for 45 min call. If there is anyone thinking about hiring this firm please see the attached invoice. I received a bill from the 9/11 call only once they had my $2500 retainer I paid on 10/25 in hand. This was completely unethical and exploiting business practices by this firm.
I have never written a review in my life, let alone a negative review. As a small business owner, I understand the impact a negative review can have. However, my experience with Counts Law Firm was so unprofessional and disappointing that I feel compelled to warn others. I gave them every opportunity to make this right, but they failed.
I initially contacted the firm for a completely unrelated matter around 9/7/24, I didn't hire them for the matter we discussed. Please keep in mind this was a free consultation. During that consultation, I had a 45-minute conversation with attorney Emahn. Afterward, the firm followed up with several calls, despite me making it clear that I would reach out when I was ready to move forward.
Later, I contacted them for a different, business-related issue involving an employee. I simply needed a cease and desist letter sent. They quoted me a $5,000 retainer but agreed to reduce it to $2,500 when I expressed concerns. Their hourly rate was $500, and I assumed I would receive professional, efficient service. Unfortunately, that was far from the case. They used the $2500 retainer to bill/charge for the free consultation, I never received an invoice for the "Free Consultation". On 9/11/24 was the "Free Consultation" they billed me on 10/25, keep reading...
From the start, the communication was frustrating and disorganized. I received nonsensical emails that required responses from me when I gave them all the information they needed —and I was charged $125 for emails that didn't make sense. After paying the retainer, I requested a brief 10-minute call with the attorney to discuss the case on 10/29. Despite the urgency of the matter, I was told he wouldn’t be available until 11/5, more than a week later. I never actually had a call with him regarding this matter, which is baffling considering I hired this firm to handle a critical situation. I have had to hire attorneys before and I have never not been able to speak directly to the attorney once my retainer was paid. I knew then this was going to be an awful experience, but the retainer was already paid. requesting my money back would only delay the urgent cease and desist letter they needed to go out.
Adding insult to injury, I was charged $1,000 for my *initial* 45 minute free consultation that I never hired them for. See the attached invoice from 9/11 but billed on 10/25 when they had my retainer in hand for the cease and desist letter, they charged me $500 for the consultation and $500 to prepare the retainer agreement I never signed or agreed to. To top it off, the cease and desist letter I needed? I essentially wrote it myself, They made minor edits, "attorney recommendations" and billed me roughly $2000 for the one 3-paragraph letter.
The entire experience was unprofessional, disorganized, and felt like a money grab. For anyone considering Counts Law Firm, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. This was a terrible experience, I strongly recommend staying away from this firm!!

I've heard really bad things about the ticket clinic. Although Jonathan never personally kept me informed, I did have someone from the ticket clinic Inform me every time that he appeared in court. At the end of the day, he ended up winning my case! I'm ashamed to say that I have another issue with the law, and I'm going to contact the ticket clinic and ask that attorney Jonathan Stout be the one that represents my case. He is awesome!!

How do you write a stellar review for an attorney you've never met? Like this...
Jonathan was assigned to my case, I suppose, by Ticket Clinic - his place of employment. I was issued a very real ticket for a very bogus charge which would have cost me in excess of $600 dollars and a bunch of lost time had I not made the choice to fight it with the help of Ticket Clinic. Jonathan fought and won my case at the Compton Courthouse, which is a place I would not like to go to on a good day. Two Compton cops issued me a ticket in San Pedro, of all places, and it was, at the time of the "incident", them against me. With Jonathan's help and only $200 out of pocket on my part, we beat the rap. A very good investment indeed. Thank you Jonathan, you have my eternal appreciation.

My case was in 1998. I had hired numerous lawyers to vacate my case without any success till I met Mr. Escovar 8 months ago. I was impressed with his confidence and commitment during our first meeting. He was professional and had a game plan to handle my case. He gave me hope when I needed most. I provided him as much proof as I could to support my case. With that, he managed to have my case vacated without much hassle. He was precise in his time frame and the result was extremely satisfactory. Lastly, he will return your call within a few hours. I like to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to Mr. Escovar and his staff at Escovar Law, APC for all their hard work and dedication in handling my case. I strongly recommend anyone who are in a similar predicament as mine to consult Mr. Escovar for legal advice. Best wishes to Mr. Escovar and his team.

Richard Nahigian came very highly recommended to me via other lawyers in the same field of a different type as well as word of mouth. His experience in Los Angeles alone is vast and is he is revered in other states as well. The odds were so against me from previous felonies and he was so helpful in coaching me through realistic expectations and analysis of the law. He always answered my calls and took the time to calm my nerves. He had a great repertoire with the other attorney in the courtroom as well as the judge. I truly am surprised to see such a negative rating and review as by word of mouth alone I have heard so many success stories, my own included, which is why I hired him.

I was in a car accident in October 2022 and injured my neck and shoulder. I decided to hire Jacob and boy, am I glad I did. He was able to advise me along the way where I should go to handle my pain all while he worked on my case. It is not an overnight process but with Jacob, your interests are always at the top of his mind and he will check in with you throughout your case and give you honest feedback and a plan that will best suit your needs. He cares about what you are dealing with and any injury and pain you are going through and will fight your case for you. I was extremely happy with what he was able to do for my case. It was a better outcome than we had even thought! And it's because he works hard and cares about you! I strongly recommend hiring Jacob for all your law needs.

There are times in our life when we are thrown into challenging hard times. Wondering how do I get through this or even how did I get here! Well Mr. Paul Geller was that guiding light. He provided the answers and hope I was searching for. As we know the judicial system is not always perfect and doesn't always protect the innocent. Being falsely accused of domestic violence and arrested for it was disheartening and scary. I actually got to see first hand how the law can be turned around and work against the innocent. This is an accusation that can destroy a person's life and reputation. I knew I just couldn't trust anyone to hold my future, my life in their hands. Mr. Geller got me through that dark time, allowing me to continue living my life free. That is priceless!

I highly recommend the McNally law firm. They provided excellent assistance to my brother and me after we were rear-ended by a pickup truck. Angie was particularly helpful in scheduling our doctor appointments and ensuring we received timely updates via phone and email. Mr. Frank McNally is an ideal attorney, especially when dealing with insurance companies and seeking fair compensation for damages. He personally called to assure us that he was fighting for our best interests, and he certainly delivered. The team at McNally is straightforward and honest, making our experience stress-free.

I highly recommend the McNally law firm. They provided excellent assistance to my brother and me after we were rear-ended by a pickup truck. Angie was particularly helpful in scheduling our doctor appointments and ensuring we received timely updates via phone and email. Mr. Frank McNally is an ideal attorney, especially when dealing with insurance companies and seeking fair compensation for damages. He personally called to assure us that he was fighting for our best interests, and he certainly delivered. The team at McNally is straightforward and honest, making our experience stress-free.

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.
