I was in the worst kind of trouble possible. My very best friend and I are both veterans. I served in the Marines and he was an Army Ranger.  My friend asked me to hand him his gun which we both believed was not loaded. After I handed it to him it went off and killed him unexpectedly.  I was in shock and did my best to recount the incident with the police. The State placed undue additional burdens on me in relation to the incident based upon my military background and charged me with manslaughter. If you find yourself in legal trouble, the best decision you can make is to hire Bruce Blumberg. Bruce is a fantastic attorney and expert in trial. He handles all aspects of your case so you can relax with no need to micromanage. You will feel like family with him representing you, he truly cares about his clients. I can attest to his abilities. He utilized experts to explore every avenue for my case and he did not feel in good conscious that I could take a plea based upon the facts of the incident and evidence so we went to trial.  He won an acquittal on my manslaughter case. There’s nobody I trust more in court than Bruce Blumberg. Please hire Bruce if you find yourself needing an expert attorney, you will not be disappointed.

Currently working in reconsideration for my husband's disability claim. We've been working with Mary Kay since August of 2022. We have never met her. Communication isn't there, only ever when I hunt her down or she needs information. Can't help but feel like nothing is getting done and I'm going crazy looking for answers or help. I can't help but feel like we aren't important to the firm, however to my family of 6 this is our entire livelihood and him getting disability approved is the only way we will ever be able to get a home for our kids and pay our bills.. I'm terrified and I have no idea what is going on. I've repeatedly left voice-mail and even emails requesting calls with not even an acknowledgment of my request. I feel defeated and hopeless, and utterly depressed and I continue to work and try to keep my family afloat. I dont know what else to do.

We are so glad we chose the Folger Law Firm to represent us. The accident was traumatic enough and we weren't looking forward to dealing with all that is involved in filing an insurance claim. Bryan made the process less stressful and less complicated than we were expecting - especially dealing with the VA and Medicare. He walked us through the process step-by-step and communicated with us well along the way. He was personable, professional and efficient and the outcome was better than we could have hoped for. He returned our calls and emails expediently and was always available to answer our questions in a reasonable amount of time. We highly recommend his firm to anyone who has been involved in an accident. Diane

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 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!

We are so glad we chose the Folger Law Firm to represent us. The accident was traumatic enough and we weren't looking forward to dealing with all that is involved in filing an insurance claim. Bryan made the process less stressful and less complicated than we were expecting - especially dealing with the VA and Medicare. He walked us through the process step-by-step and communicated with us well along the way. He was personable, professional and efficient and the outcome was better than we could have hoped for. He returned our calls and emails expediently and was always available to answer our questions in a reasonable amount of time. We highly recommend his firm to anyone who has been involved in an accident. Diane

Don’t go to them, was going to hire them but not competent people. Update: I am updating the review from 1 stars to 3 now, I appreciate the lawyer contacting me and explaining his policies, however I was not in agreement with his policies, he is stating that he does not have paralegals in his office. Hopefully one day he will. I do appreciate he wanted to make it better, so that is another reason why I have changed my 1 star review, but his secretary did make me mad. I think they can improve on a few things, but that is their decision.

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.
