I can't say enough about the Suzuki Law Firm and the fantastic Lawyer who saved my life. Sean McNally literally saved my life, without him I would've lost everything I loved. When you must face the mighty machine we call the "justice system" you need a great Lawyer who will fight for you and fight against the dishonest and dishonorable people who desire to incarcerate you. I'm alive because of Sean McNally and his amazing colleagues at the Suzuki Law Firm. Don't face the machine alone! You will need these highly trained and educated professionals to get you the best possible result for whatever criminal case you are dealing with. My situation was so hopeless and yet these people saved me. I urge anyone who reads this to hire this Firm and Mr Sean McNally in particular because he and this mighty Law Firm won't let you down. I am living proof of their amazing work.

I would like to thank Suzuki Law Firm for resolving my daughter, Pamela's cases. She had a coupe of difficult cases against her and starting with Mr Suzuki who answererd all questions including answering calls in the weekend or after hours, he and his team were all Amazing! Pamela was assigned to Colin D. O'Sullivan and Colin was very professional, proficient and caring! He immediately went to work and I was amazed at how quickly several charges were dropped! Had Pamela not had the correct legal assistance, I am sure that her fate would have been very different. I am so thankful for the outcome of her cases and even to the end, Colin continued to help us resolve incorrect paperwork from the clerks' office. Thank you Colin and Suzuki Law Firm for all your help! Extremely appreciative. Sandra Esquivias

I have been impressed with the experience of having Aaron as my attorney, and it takes a lot to impress me. From the moment that I contacted him he was on the case and working for the best possible outcome. He always made sure I knew what was going on and what to expect every step of the way before I even needed to ask. I would recommend Aaron to anyone needing a criminal defense attorney and will not hesitate to call him if I am ever in need of an attorney to defend me in a criminal case. He saved me both a lot of time and money. I always dealt directly with him, not some paralegal working for him.

I was referred to Aaron Black by a friend who had used his services and was confident that he would be able to help us . He came highly recommended and when I contacted him, I immediately felt at ease and knew that we had made the right choice. A family member was charged with an extreme DUI. These charges were originally filed as a felony with a BAC of .20 and Aaron was able to have the State agree to a .15 DUI and reduced to a misdemeanor. Aaron was also key to keeping the fines to a minimum and was able to reduce the jail time to a minimum of two days. He also prepared us with all the required classes and made sure that these were completed prior to the court date. He was fully prepared for every hearing and took care of everything for us . Anytime I had a question he was available and would respond right away. If you are ever in a situation, where you need an attorney I highly recommend you contact Aaron Black. He will be by your side, every step of the way.

It will be Aaron Black. Aaron was referred to me and my son through another attorney that had helped my son in a previous case. I was provided a couple names from this previous attorney, and as soon as we spoke with Aaron, I knew he was the one. My son was facing class 3 felony charges with jail time and with Aaron’s diligence was able to reduce to a plea where he will earn a misdemeanor. The probation department was recommending Intensive Probation and Aaron was able to convince the judge that IP was not appropriate. As the mother of the accused, Aaron was able to keep my “mother-bear” mind at ease. He is very easy to communicate with and doesn’t make you feel like less of a person because you have been accused of a crime. Aaron is a class-act attorney and a wonderful person. Thank you, Aaron, for all that you have done to keep my son out of jail and to help steer him in the right direction.

I can’t thank Feldman Royle enough for their outstanding work on my case. From my very first meeting with Bret Royle and David Ernest Ahl, I knew I was in excellent hands. They took the time to listen, reassure me, and thoroughly walk me through each step of the process. Throughout the entire ordeal, the team was incredibly organized, responsive, and supportive—always keeping me informed without overwhelming me with unnecessary details. Their dedication and expertise ultimately led to a successful resolution of my case, and I’m grateful beyond words. If you’re looking for lawyers who genuinely care, are highly knowledgeable, and will fight tirelessly for you, I highly recommend the Feldman Royle team. Their professionalism and compassion set them apart, and they truly are the gold standard in legal defense.

She was straightforward and honest about possible outcomes. She is strategic in her approach and pushed back at all the right times. The compassion Kristen showed while helping me fight my battle is irreplaceable and I had an amazing ending to my case! Should I ever need it, I 100% would work with Kristen again!

I am grateful for Kristen and her services. Kristen represented my family cases for approximately 4 years. The overall case is complex needing representation with several components multiple times. Kristen was the 4th attorney that I had. The first was for the divorce; I wish I knew about Kristen then. I would have retained her immediately and likely never had to go through what I did. Kristen was up against a 'shark' of an attorney, who represented my ex. Kristen handled everything with grace and tact. There where moments when she presented the ugly truth to me in a kind way. Her knowledge and professionalism is unmatched. The only reason that I have new representation is because I moved across the country. She provided me with guidance to transfer my case. She also has great communication. I never felt that I was left hanging and wondering.

Mr. Tait and his assistant got all the required documents for me within a week of contacting them, something my previous attorney failed to do for an entire year. If you’re looking for help for something that’s within their area of expertise, please reach out and I promise you that you will not regret it. I would’ve saved myself so much time, money, and effort bouncing between law firms if I had contacted Tait & Hall first. I’d give them a thousand stars if I could. Thank you guys!!!!

You need Jenifer on your side! I had an EXCEPTIONAL experience working with Jenifer Bone. From start to finish, she demonstrated professionalism and dedication. Jenifer was incredibly knowledgeable and always took the time to explain complex legal terms in a way that I could understand. Her responsiveness to my questions was impressive. She always put my mind at ease and reminded me that she would be by my side the entire time. I was facing a challenging and frustrating petition to enforce and mediation process. Jenifer provided me with the guidance and support I needed. She was always prepared and fought tirelessly for my rights and made sure my voice was heard. Thanks to Jenifer's expertise, we achieved a favorable outcome in mediation. I couldn't have asked for a better advocate. I can never thank Jenifer enough for her honesty and knowledge of family law. I am deeply grateful for her expertise, hard work and dedication. I appreciate how she handled the case with such professionalism and sense of humor when needed. She made me feel like a member of her family. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of legal assistance. Overall, Jenifer exceeded my expectations and provided outstanding legal support. I am so thankful I had her on my side during the whole process. Thank you, Jenifer!

If you're looking for the best business and contracts law firm in AZ, look no further! Fabian was literally a god send. I met with several lawyers before meeting Fabian. Once I met with Fabian, I knew hands down his law firm was the team I needed in my corner. Fabian and his associates are extremely thorough and immediately start strategizing once they learn about your case. It's the first time I ever faced a lawsuit (and hopefully the last) and it can honestly be intimating at times. However, they were great at explaining and guiding me through every step of the process. I learned so much from these guys and they quickly got my case settled before the discovery stage. They handed my case the way I hoped it'd be handled. I've seen several other post about money well spent and that's exactly how I feel as well. I will literally be recommending all my friends and family to Zazueta Law if they are ever in need. I've actually already referred one friend. After meeting with Fabian, they have decided to retain his services as well. Thank you Fabian and team for all that you did, not just for me, but for my family as well!

I am a lawyer in a different field. My office has been referring criminal defense cases to Kris Califano for years. We have consulted with Kris on a few occasions when personal injury (our practice) intersects with criminal defense. He and his team are excellent and know the subject matter thoroughly. The clients and other people we have referred to Kris love him, the personalized representation they receive, and the results Kris obtains for them. If you choose this firm, you are in good hands.

I worked with Connor and AJ with Cantor Law firm on my family law case, and I was very impressed with their level of expertise and the quality of representation. Connor and AJ were extremely knowledgeable, thorough and excelled at writing motions, which really got my point across. I believe this made a significant difference in my case, as their clear and compelling arguments helped strengthen my position. Connor was extremely well-informed about every detail of my case, even recalling critical information from months prior. His remarkable memory and dedication demonstrated a deep understanding of family law and ensured that no detail was overlooked. While the quality of the service was excellent, the fees were more than I expected going into it. Despite the cost, I believe the representation was worth the investment because, in the end, my children are all that matter. If you're looking for an attorney who is not only skilled but also excels in effective legal writing and strong representation, I highly recommend Connor but be prepared for higher-than-expected costs, as high-quality legal representation can come at a premium.

My husband and I are very glad to have used Cantor Law Group's attorney services! From the very beginning and in our initial consultation, we were cared for and recommend the best lawyer for our particular needs. This was the first time we hired a lawyer, and Andrea Banks made the whole process easy to understand and very efficient. She was always on top of our needs and wishes being completed, and would regularly check in with us! We were so happy to have a lawyer we could call immediately if there were any sudden questions we needed answered, or any concerns we had. Andrea and her assistant Kendra are a wonderful team to work with and get the job done as soon as possible! We HIGHLY recommend this law office, but more specifically these two wonderful women who made sure we were well taken care of in our particular case!

I can't say enough about the Suzuki Law Firm and the fantastic Lawyer who saved my life. Sean McNally literally saved my life, without him I would've lost everything I loved. When you must face the mighty machine we call the "justice system" you need a great Lawyer who will fight for you and fight against the dishonest and dishonorable people who desire to incarcerate you. I'm alive because of Sean McNally and his amazing colleagues at the Suzuki Law Firm. Don't face the machine alone! You will need these highly trained and educated professionals to get you the best possible result for whatever criminal case you are dealing with. My situation was so hopeless and yet these people saved me. I urge anyone who reads this to hire this Firm and Mr Sean McNally in particular because he and this mighty Law Firm won't let you down. I am living proof of their amazing work.

I would like to thank Suzuki Law Firm for resolving my daughter, Pamela's cases. She had a coupe of difficult cases against her and starting with Mr Suzuki who answererd all questions including answering calls in the weekend or after hours, he and his team were all Amazing! Pamela was assigned to Colin D. O'Sullivan and Colin was very professional, proficient and caring! He immediately went to work and I was amazed at how quickly several charges were dropped! Had Pamela not had the correct legal assistance, I am sure that her fate would have been very different. I am so thankful for the outcome of her cases and even to the end, Colin continued to help us resolve incorrect paperwork from the clerks' office. Thank you Colin and Suzuki Law Firm for all your help! Extremely appreciative. Sandra Esquivias

I was recently involved in a motorcycle accident in Tucson Arizona in which I wasn’t at falt and received moderate injuries. I reached out to several law firms and so fortunate to select Richard Traulsen and his paralegal Coleen. He seemed the most knowledgeable and experienced in motorcycle injuries and the settlement they fought for me showed this through. His paralegal Coleen was phenomenal she steo by step walked me through all the documents I had to gather and answered all the questions I had promptly. They fought long and hard for me and won me a settlement that far surpassed my expectations. 10/10 would recommend this law firm for Motorcycle accidents.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
