I was referred to Doug for counsel after I had issues on federal land for an alleged lewd act. I was told by other lawyers that I was going to have a record and that nothing could be done about this. Doug found a way and my record is to be expunged and my reputation made whole. Highly recommend Doug for his personal attention to my case and reliable counsel!

He was referred to me by another attorney and has so far done a fantastic job. As I am disabled he did a lot of the legwork for me at the courthouse, no extra charge. He returns my calls promptly, which is also a plus, especially with attorneys. Highly recommend!

Jonathan came through on an emergency basis with generosity and kindness, helping women who were in danger and distress. On his own volition, he took care of them and made certain they were safe. If you’re looking for an attorney with a heart and soul, someone who connects and cares, and goes to great lengths for his clients, I cannot recommend anyone better than Jonathan Stanwood.

Jonathan Stanwood is an excellent attorney who has helped me with legal matters on a number of occasions this last decade. He has been practicing law for over two decades and his experience shows when talking to him about legal matters. Not only is he well versed in the law, but he also has a strong backbone made of integrity and honesty. I can always count on him to make sound recommendations or steer me in the right direction while always exercising good judgement. Stanwood is definitely worth reaching out to when legal advice or services are needed.

The best experience during a worst case scenario. My son was facing false allegations of a Title IX violation. We researched and consulted several leading legal advisors throughout the country. Several took the approach of "fear factoring" us into needing their legal services but didn't necessarily express a true regard for my son's state of mind. After initially speaking with Atty. Joseph Lento, and immediately being treated with the utmost sincerity and having been acknowledged for our feelings with the matter, we felt we would be moving forward with obtaining their counsel. They even granted a follow-up call waiving an additional consultation fee to allow us the opportunity to address a few points with no pressure to choose their firm. At that point, we knew they had more interest in our comfort level and goals than simply collecting a payment. Once on board, we were assigned to Kyle Adams, who had the knowledge and expertise in this area of law and whom was an absolute pleasure to work with. He made himself available in the evenings, weekends and on his direct cell via telephone, Zoom, as well as in-person simply at our request to ensure my son was comfortable, even though he was over 2 hours away. Kyle's client-centered approach made a significant difference in his case, from a thorough investigation, supportive evidence, and his skillful negotiation helping him achieve a quick resolution to obtain our desired outcome of a withdrawal of the claim. Thanks to the Lento Law Firm and their Atty. Kyle Adams expertise, my son avoided severe academic penalties, if this wasn't handled with the care and diligent efforts that were needed to navigate this endeavor. In the end, my son had regained his reputation and respect of his friends and peers. I cannot express my most heartfelt, and sincere gratefulness for all that was done. We will only reach out to Lento Law Firm and his team if we are ever in need of legal services going forward. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Annalise Keating in real life, Viola would be so proud. My son’s attorney, Jessica Mann, stood on BUSINESS!! You hear me. Attentive, patient, supportive, compassionate, and committed are just a few words to describe the level of service that he received from her. She cleared his name on not one but two cases in two different countries. She showed up on time in court, professionally dressed and prepared. She articulated eloquently with distinctive style and grace. She was respectful of my son and our family. The associates that worked along with her only complimented her. Now, I don’t ever plan on seeing her again unless we are passing each other on the street but if I ever find myself or anyone of my loved ones in trouble the only call I’m making is to Jessica Mann- the closer. She saved my son’s life.

I had the occasion to explain my case to Mark when we met by chance outiside the courtroom. In 60 seconds he explained things to me about the way the system works (corruption) that opened my eyes in a way that is a true revelation. In a subsequent conversation I realized that Mark is a very special human being. His level of morality, spirutuality, and wisdom is beyond anything I have seen in other lawyers. When you work with Mark, God will be on your side.

Mark was referred by another attorney who I trust and have hired before; when I spoke with Mark over the phone for the first time I knew I had made the right choice. Months later after he helped my nephew through a difficult process, I can't express how grateful I am to Mark for always being so supportive, communicative and professional. Making a hard situation as smooth as possible for us family members to understand the process. Thank you mark for all that you do and most importantly for brining my nephew home to us again.

Can’t recommend Jason enough! I was in a terrible living situation, when everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. I ended up being charged with several erroneous charges, including a serious felony charge. We had a jury trial scheduled for next week, and at the last minute Jason convinced them to drop all the charges. Throughout the process he was focused, calm, and helpful. I hope to never be in a situation like this again, but if I am, I know who I’ll be calling!

It's hard to put into words on how professional and hard working Hope is. My case was extremely complex and one of kind in many ways. Every step of the way I was informed on the status and not once was I ever sugar coated. Hope was there anytime I needed to speak with her or was unsure about something on the case. The government is not joke to go against but Hope can stand toe to toe and come with a great outcome.
I am glad I was able to find her when I did. I am happy with my results of my case and couldn't have asked for more from an attorney. Do not hesitate to reach out to Hope to represent you in your legal matters.
Update: 3/13/24
Til this day Hope is still doing all she can to provide me with exceptional service. She recently filed another motion for me in court and did so in a timely manner. It’s been a long journey and she’s been with me and my family all the way. Again, Hope is the real deal do not hesitate to have her represent you.

I cannot express enough how incredibly grateful I am for the exceptional legal services provided by Hope. From the moment I hired Hope to represent me in my 2 years long legal battle, I knew I was in the hands of an exceptional professional. Hope has not only met but exceeded all of my expectations, ultimately leading to the complete dismissal of my case.
One of the qualities that sets Hope apart is her communication. she was always available to answer my questions, address my concerns, and provide updates on the progress of my case. This level of transparency and accessibility was immensely reassuring and greatly contributed to my peace of mind during the entire legal ordeal.
Her Out of the box thinking strategy's brought a positive outcome for my case.
Thank you Hope, for giving me a second chance at life. You truly deserve all five stars and more.

They're lawyers and then there's Hope Lefeber.
She is someone who not only understands the law but is well versed in representing her clients, utilizing her knowledge and experience with the law.
Hope is straightforward and will give you the defense you need.
She takes her time explaining the process and is very thorough in her preparation for your defense.
She helped our family tremendously and did her part with integrity.
In many cases the stress can be extremely high and sensitive, Hope understands that and operates from a place of empathy and doesn't discount the pain of her client or their family.
She has a high regard for respect and she will give you the utmost respect and her time.
Many times lawyers will often lie or give you a version of what they will do to get you as a client, however Hope will not be that lawyer, hence they're lawyers and then there's Hope.
Her name represents her very well, she will not just give you hope but fight for you and renew your hope for your defense whatever it may be you're facing legally.
She is realistic and will defend your case without smoke and mirrors, she is someone that you can rely on.
In closing I will say this I always got a prompt response from her and she always explained things in detail as to never be confused. She also always was empathetic towards me and our family and gave not only her legal expertise but her care towards us, I am thankful for her and all she has done for our family.
I highly recommend her and no pun intended I hope you have the same experience with Hope Lefeber.

Working with this lawyer was a refreshing experience. I recently found out that years ago I had been frivolously sued in small claims court by someone who made a meritless claim. This person used it to try to enter a civil judgment against me. Frankly I had no idea how to handle the situation. I was scared and confused. I called a bunch of law firms trying to figure out what I needed to do, and most of them just left me feeling even more scared and more confused. Then I called the law offices of Thomas D. Kenny, and I had the complete opposite experience. Every single person I spoke to treated me with kindness and respect. They helped me understand exactly what was going on and what I needed to do to resolve it. They worked quickly, communicated clearly, and got me the exact outcome I was looking for. I can't overstate how satisfied I am with their work. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone!

Mr. Kenny was nothing short of AMAZING! I was worried I would do jailtime because the victim had strong evidence against me but he ensured me that I'd be ok. He's truly a magician and great at what he do and he don't cost an arm and a leg!!! I would recommend him to anyone faced with serious charges and want to maintain their freedom or at the very least shorten their sentence. Mr. Kenny is easily one of the best in Philly and I stand on that!!
Thanks for everything!!

From start to end Mr. Shaka Johnson has been My family attorney for years. He fights battles for the parties he represents and has a caring spirit for his clients. Shaka is a very real and a down to earth attorney/lawyer and he puts his soul into his work. Furthermore he is likes fine tooth comb with his cases how he dissects and digest then processes once entering the courtroom room he transforms from citizen to lawyer!

Went to meet this man after firing my first lawyer because he wanted to settle before reviewing the case and got to consult with Shaka the first day meeting him was greeted and hugged. The next day after hiring him was told to come into the office to sit down with staff and to prep my defense. He moved faster than any other defense attorney I know and he showed up to court ready to defend me. He kept it real about the odds of certain charges and helped me put together mitigation he did not let the prosecutors bully me into taking a deal and gave me my life back. He fought a crazy fight with me and did not give up on me instead he fought even harder when he thought that the prosecutor was being unfair and got me a fair outcome. I highly recommend this man who I call a BROTHER after defending me aggressively to make sure I was given a second chance at life. The entire time he represented me it felt like family more than a business relationship to me. This case was not BUSINESS for him it was PERSONAL to where he wanted to make sure I was satisfied at the end of the day.
Thanks to Shaka Johnson and the Rest of the team for my BEST OUTCOME.

I was fortunate to have found Donald on Avvo a few months ago and I consulted him regarding an ongoing landlord-tenant dispute. Don's moral character as well as his methodical and reasonable approach to problem-solving were instantaneously recognized within minutes of discussing my first legal matter. Since then, I have consulted him for several related and unrelated legal matters - including contracts and informal/ formal resolutions between myself and opposing parties. He is very knowledgeable, resourceful, experienced and aware of the court system and provided significant insight on the legal processes if any of my disputes or complaints landed in court. As a local professional in the Philadelphia area, I am very grateful for Don's help. I only wish we connected sooner. Thanks Donald!"

Andy's legal advice, representation, time, dedication and results are the only positive to come out of my criminal matter. I was facing some serious charges and Andy helped me to help me achieve a much better result. He stuck with me every single step of the way, he always followed up with me when he said he would, and was 100% correct every time he gave me his opinion and he was always honest in his assessment (even when at times it wasnt what what I wanted to hear). Even after the matter ended, Andy took the time to call me and offer me the best possible advice anyone could give me and basically using his advice, I was able to get a job despite my record. I chose Andy because a friend of mine recommended him. I visited with him with a lawyer in my family that told me he was clearly the best we interviewed. Andy was the best decision I made after making a big mistake and I don't know anyone outside of my family that showed more genuine care and concern for my well being and without asking me for anything in return (well after my case was over and his services were done- he helped me by giving me time and advice on his own time). Andy even texted me on my birthday to check in on me. Outside of the case- because of Andy I have become a better person and I am forever grateful to him for his help and will never forget him my whole life. I still have some things to take care of over time and I wouldn't go to anyone else except him. I wouldn't think twice to recommend him to anyone who is facing a legal issue of any kind (as he knows other experts as well) but especially in any criminal matter (mine was in the suburbs of Philadelphia)- Andy is the guy. He is everything you would want in an excellent attorney and then some. My experience was beyond positive and I hope reading this is helpful to any others who may be thinking about meeting with him. Thank you for all that you did for me and my family Andy.

I was facing 7 year felony drug distribution and possession charges. Thanks to Jeremy, I wound up with misdemeanor possession and 6 months probation. It was my first arrest and I was terrified. Jeremy advocated for me every step of the way. He got my possessions out of impound, established rapport with the troopers and DA, enlisted the help of a drug expert, and even sat with me in the probation office to ensure I got the best possible terms. Fantastic work Mr Alva. Worth every penny!

Great lawyer, very professional. Was very clear from the start about expectations and delivered a great outcome for me.

Stephen was exactly the lawyer I needed when we reached out to him following my incident. He was very good at explaining the different options we had for contesting the case and also the likelihood of success and time lines. He's extremely personable and did well with the negotiations that were required.
I was charged with 6 offenses and was able to walk out of the courtroom with 2 offenses on my record and the main one reduced in severity. A very good result.
Stephen was very professional in all respects but particularly in the courtroom where it was obvious he was in his comfort zone. There were a few requests we had of the judge which were a little bit outside of the norm and Stephen handled them very well. We were able to get conditions added to the court documents making the probation part of my sentence much easier to handle.

Review for Lloyd Long:
I had the privilege of having Lloyd represent me in two separate legal matters, both of which were of very serious nature. Initially apprehensive due to the gravity of the situations, Lloyd's guidance and support throughout the process made me feel at ease. One matter lasted almost four years, during which Lloyd proved himself to be a great communicator, keeping me informed and reassured every step of the way. He was honest about the challenges I faced and effectively communicated the plan of action. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, both cases were closed without charges. I highly recommend Lloyd Long for anyone in need of legal representation.

I was in an unfortunate accident and had a severe foot injury which lead to prescription drug abuse and one thing lead to another and the next thing i know I am living the fast life purchasing drugs in the inner city, something I would have never ever imagined myself doing. Before I was caught I have never had any police contact ever not even a speeding ticket so was scared for my life. Mr Long heard my story and for the amount I had on me(a pretty hefty amount after payday) Mr Long helped me and worked to get my charge dropped to probation with my record expunged afterwards, besides a very minor hiccup I entered a program and accomplished it and continue to attend meetings today. I feel that getting caught that evening most likely saved my life, and thanks to Mr Long my record is back to clean and so is my life. I suggest hiring Mr Long for any criminal matters you may be facing as life throws us curveballs sometimes and unfortunate things do happen. Thank you Mr. Long from myself and my family and won't hesitate to call you if needed in any type of unfortunate situation.

Attorney Long met with me and my mother and was very straight forward about my chances. He let me know what my possible outcomes might be and never made feel as if I was guilty of the charges I was being accused of. He was confident about what he could do for me and on the day of my preliminary trail got all my charges dismissed. I am forever grateful to him. This is one satisfied customer here and if you chose Attorney Long you too will be satisfied!!

The first place and how by law the case has to get thrown out in preliminary, I’m thinking too good to be true, so I say to him “ Listen Man U don’t have to gas me up just be real with me “ he looks me dead in the eye and says I got 8 questions that’ll have this case dismissed!!! . Fast forward to preliminary I lie to you not he put the cop on the stand asked him roughly 7-8 questions then turned to the judge and says “ yea your honor I don’t think this is enough to move to trial I ask that the case be dismissed!.. the judge says “ yea I agree I don’t think so either, case dismissed... by the way he has beat about 5 of my friends cases by now..! 5STARS

Walsh took my case and I thought his price was high. Then he told me he was charging that much because he was trying the case and I was going to be found not guilty.

I am ending a legal issue in which Mr. Spade represented me. He was quick to meet with me to review my case. Within a very short time he contacted me to explain the situation and what he could accomplish. This issue could have been career damaging and Mr Spade had the case withdrawn and expunged. He handled my case fast, diligently, and I felt relaxed and that I was in "good hands" after my first meeting with him. I was fortunate to find him in lawyer review and would highly recommend him for any one having a legal issue.

I had Mr. Steeson in 2014 and he did a great job on my case. I was looking at 1-3 years I sat in jail for 5 months and when I went to court all charges were dropped. He was very firm with the case, he always kept me updated with everything when I called him. He fought for me til the bitter end and I couldn’t think him enough! Definitely a great man he fights for his clients! I would recommend anybody to go to him. Thank you so much for everything Mr. Steenson I truly appreciate you and everything you done for me!

This is the first attorney that has integrity that is impressive. He was in the Courtroom when I was about to argue my motion to the Court. He saw I was representing myself and walked over to me. We stepped outside and before I knew it he had given me invaluable advice, both from an argument standpoint, as well as from a legal one. He would not accept a fee. Finally my views on attorneys has changed (at least some)

Sometimes people make mistakes, thankfully for me I had a dedicated lawyer fighting for me every step of the way. If you need a professional, straight shooter, you can’t find anyone better than Craig.

He was quick to answer all of our questions and handled the situation with great professionalism. He never seemed "too busy" to take our calls and his services proved to be a great value for the money. We couldn't be more pleased with the outcome.

Our son recommended Kiran Mahal to us as he just completed his will under his guidance. We met with Kiran and were impressed with his knowledge in his review of our will. He guided us in updating the will and making the necessary changes to our wills, living wills and power of attorney. He answered all of our questions, even anticipating questions that we hadn't thought of. We never felt rushed through the process. We both highly recommend Kiran and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to our family and friends.

Outstanding hands down, I must admit I definitely had my doubt. My son kept saying "no mom we're going to keep her, let's see what she can do."
My son was charged with gun possession and fifty other charges broken down from one. My son's bail was set at 200,000 Ms. Lauren was able to get him released on house arrest. Lauren Wimmer was on point in and out of the court room. She 100% knew the law. She was always available day, night and weekends. Although, not a part of her job; She provided emotional support for my son and myself. She was always 100% with her wording and we really appreciated and respected her for this. No sugar-coating, false hope etc. Lauren provided assistance on an unrelated case involving the same son, while on House Arrest and was hired to assist with this case as well.
All charges were dropped on both cases due to Ms. Lauren knowledge of the law and the street culture of Philadelphia.
oIn conclusion, We would definitely hire Ms. Wimmer again and I highly recommend Ms. Wimmer.

Lucky to have stumbled upon Lauren's website in search of a lawyer after another lawyer cancelled on me. Funny how things work out. I was in a bind and she really went above and beyond for me. She and her office were always amazing and always there for me when I needed something. Unlike the others I consulted with, she's more concerned about my rights and what she can do to help. Simply put, she's a cool, confident professional who'll get the work done. Couldn't be happier with my representation. Thank you, Lauren!!!!

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.
