Bard Weinstein is the man! He truly cared about my case and my freedom. The state was not coming off a year in DOC, until I called Mr Weinstein! He was more than fair, he allowed me to make a down payment and make monthly payments. I got four months county jail with work release, I drive my own vehicle to and from work five days a week. Bard saved me and my family, my freedom was left in Bard’s hands and he more than prevailed. I literally hired Bard based off these Avvo reviews. You want young and hungry, Bard is your guy.

I can't say enough about Mr. BARBER. He took my case from beginning to end and all the aggravation in between. Was upfront with everything, never made any promises. All he did was work on my case which did have a happy ending. If you need a great lawyer Mr Bretton Barber is your man. Thanks again Larry Schwartz

Bretton is a phenomenal and highly recommended attorney. He did what dozens of others said was not a reality. He is genuine in his works and provides results. I won my case because of this law firm. Thank goodness someone fights for the good guys that get wrapped up in unfortunate situations. Highly recommended.

I retained Attorney Barber's services to assist me with a good-cause exception for a fingerprint clearance card through the AZ Board of Fingerprinting. While I was ultimately denied a good-cause exception, it was not for lack of effort or legal skills of Mr. Barber. He took time to get to know me and understand the complexities of my case. He represented me in filing the initial paperwork to the Board, representing me at the administrative hearing, and filing a reply to the Administrative Law Judge's recommendation. At each stage of the process, Bretton was willing to help and put forth a really good effort to try to get my good-cause exception approved. Unfortunately, I believe Mr. Barber was correct in his assessment of the law as it applied to my case in that the Board should have granted my petition, but we don't live in a perfect world. I think my experience may signal the need for the legislature to take a closer look at which misdemeanor offenses should even be included on the statutory denial list and draft legislation that is fair to petitioners so simple misdemeanors cannot be grounds for denial in the first place. Based on my experience with Bretton Barber, I would not hesitate to recommend him to individuals facing situations that require good-cause exceptions or any other matters related to fingerprint clearance cards. Thank you for your representation, Bretton!

It's been several years since I had to use Jim, but all I can say is there is literally no one better :) If you think that some miracle can come along and take you out of your circumstances stop praying and call Jim. I owe him everything, I'd have lost my job like most, lost everything I owned, lost everything I know. But from a lot of research and prayers I met Jim. And that was that. Nothing sort of a miracle. And what's crazy is I referred my best friends nephew to him with even more severe and worse circumstances than I faced and he preformed another miracle for him as well. I honestly know he has a God given talent and if it's just you against the world and you got one call to make, than you sure as hell better call Jim E. Simpson. This guy is not like other high priced attorney's that send the bell boys with no idea what your facing to fight for you in court. He'll come in person with all his God gifted powers, knowledge and research and will bring you nothing short of a miracle . He's the best! #1 and worth every cent he charges!! I owe him everything I have, and I owe him my freedom today 5 years after using him!!! Thank you Jim E. Simpson!!!

James was very knowledgeable and made me feel confident in his skills and my case. He was able to turn the "worse case" scenario into the "best case" scenario and dramatically had my charges reduced. He understood the personal turmoil of going through a DUI case and was patient with questions and explained everything thoroughly so I felt reassured and comfortable throughout my entire case.

I had to file an order of protection against my former roommate and Jim's knowledge and guidance was essential in winning the order and returning peace to my life. He knows legal procedures and laws very well and it was impressive to watch him in court. I would highly recommend Jim to anyone who needed a lawyer and if I ever need legal guidance again in the future I will definitely contact him.

My son’s defense council misrepresented him which resulted in his lengthy prison sentence. Luckily, we were able to obtain council from Ms. DuMond and her associates. Consequently, his sentence was substantially reduced. I can’t thank this team enough for helping us. They were courteous, efficient, and most of all caring. We were kept abreast of all things important. We were treated with dignity and the biggest difference is that they played a major part in helping to change a man’s life. Thank you all so very much!

Pat Gitre is the quintessential genius in the legal field. She is the epitome of a guardian angel and the attorney for any integrous human pursuing justice. Ms. Gitre embodies the fundamental qualities to fight and care for others’ human rights. Gitre’s legal brilliance is unparalleled, with a distinctive drive to circumspectly achieve the principal outcome. Her unremitting passion in the diligent pursuit of truth displays a level of tenacity and grit directly aligning to presenting an infallible case for her clients.
I, a naïve novice to the unethical underworld of one’s capacity to make false assertions, engage personal political agendas, and crave unwarranted greed, ensued a necessitated need for Pat Gitre’s aptitude. Immediately upon the first conversation with Gitre, an inner certainty was established to aid my desire for sureness and ultimately substantiated such thorough investigating with my case. She worked with me personally, communicated with me directly, and cared about me genuinely. Ms. Gitre sought critical particulars and unapologetically asked direct questions to gain an all-encompassing depiction of what transpired with the false accusers. I instantaneously consumed a knowing that God placed her in my life, at this exact moment, to traverse my case proving my innocence.
Justice consummated by Gitre’s relentless, unwavering, and uncompromising exertion for truth and rightness. She vigorously and victoriously achieved favor of the Court to grant a motion to Remand a Grand Jury indictment. Ms. Gitre’s persistence for aptness in a fair and unprejudiced representation fueled the drive to attack an area of legal proceedings that most rarely venture, much less conquer. She continued assertiveness to influence the dismissal of all deceptive charges brought against me, further corroborating that Pat Gitre was indeed my miracle vessel from The Lord.
Pat Gitre’s keen awareness of societal behaviors, her ability to examine the most obscure details, along her presence of mind to professionally piece together an otherwise unidentifiable puzzle has earned her the rightful highest praise. She is direct yet compassionate in her steadfast approach with the highest level of integrity and professionalism. I solemnly advocate the recommendation of Pat Gitre and urge any human, necessitating such paramount justice, to retain the services of Pat Gitre, by far the most promising experienced attorney.

Patricia is very professional and straight to the point. She was very helpful and thorough in my case. She explained everything to me in detail. Thanks to her my charges were dropped from several possible felonies of transportation and sales of cannabis to a misdemeanor for possession of cannabis. I don't intend to get in trouble again out in AZ, but she would be the first person I call!

My wife and I have exclusively relied upon Pat for all of our legal needs, throughout our 14-year marriage. Pat successfully prosecuted all claims for us, and successfully defended all claims made against us. The opponents simply could not keep up with Pat's legal prowess. Pat is very thorough, and very smart. She can see way down the road, and much further than the opponent. She is truly a tremendous attorney. I recommend Pat without reservation. Mark

**Review for Cara Dames and the Castillo Law Firm**
I had the privilege of working with Cara Dames and her outstanding team at the Castillo Law firm, and I am beyond impressed with the level of dedication and professionalism they demonstrated. From the outset, Cara and her team took the time to thoroughly understand my goals and what I wanted to achieve. They listened attentively, asked insightful questions, and crafted a strategy that was both comprehensive and tailored to my specific needs.
Throughout the entire process, their fortitude and willingness to persevere were evident. They left no stone unturned, tirelessly advocating on my behalf and navigating the complexities of my case with skill and determination. Their expertise in the field of criminal defense is unparalleled, and their commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for their clients is truly commendable.
Cara's team exceeded my expectations in every way. Their communication was clear and timely, ensuring I was always informed and confident in the steps being taken. Their support and guidance provided me with a sense of assurance during a challenging time.
I give Cara Dames and the Castillo Law firm the highest remarks and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking professional counsel in the realm of criminal defense. Their unwavering dedication, expertise, and client-focused approach make them an invaluable ally in any legal matter. Thank you, Cara and team, for your exceptional service and remarkable results.

I own and operate a small primary practice in Tucson. Lisa Paine has been our lawyer for the past 5-6 years, and she has been remarkable. She is personable, timely, and has done a wonderful job including helping us establish our LLC, developing business
and consulting contracts, and other various legal needs we have over the years. She is a gem to work with. I highly recommend her for that service. Additionally, my husband and I hired her to complete our will and trust. She helped us navigate difficult decisions and created a very important document that will protect our family in the future. I also highly recommend Lisa for estate planning. Her price point is fair as well.

Kevin was assigned to my case as a public defender. If I had the money I would still definitely choose him. I had a criminal charge that I was worried would interfere with future schooling/job offers. I was so happy that he got the prosecutor to dismiss the case.
He's very good at his job and honest. Straight to the point about how he wanted to approach the case. I appreciated his honesty and prompt responses if I'd leave messages for him on the phone. Would definitely recommend him to anyone in a bind.

Finding myself in the worst situation I have ever been in, Kevin was there with me through the entire process. It would be almost impossible to describe exactly what he means to me and my family. The first time we met, he was very open and honest about what I was facing and more importantly what he intended to do for me. This never changed throughout the entire process. He is the only man that I would ever trust to represent me or anyone close to me in the courtroom. I won't go into many specifics in this review but I quite literally would not be able to be home writing this right now if it wasn't for Kevin. He is an incredibly dedicated lawyer who cares very much about the success of the people he represents. I have now fulfilled much of my obligation to the courts and am satisfied with the resolution we were able to come to and I know that none of this would be possible of it wasn't for him. Even now, over a year since our first meeting, we are still in contact and he has always been incredibly supportive of my recovery and helping me to put all of this behind me and move forward with my life. And again, this is the life I get to live today because he believed in me and worked every single day to ensure my freedom.

Im glad I was lucky enough to end up with a lawyer as cool and good at his job as Kevin. I walked into this entire process blindfolded and really didn't know what to expect but Kevin helped me out big time by going over the process and helping me understand what to expect. Also, because I lived out of state Kevin did a great job of keeping in touch and giving me suggestions as we went along! Kevin was also a huge help by showing up for me at my first few court hearings working to get my case dismissed. Great guy and I reccomend his assistance to anyone looking for help with the court system!

Brian did an absolutely amazing job handling my case. The odds were definitely stacked against me regarding the outcome for my DUI but Brian was able to land the best possible outcome, and instead of me being charged with a DUI he was able to get it dropped and have the court rule in my favor. He was extremely professional and very communicative regarding my case. 10/10 I would recommend Brian to anybody fighting a DUI case!

I must first apologize for submitting my review so late. However, I must express how excellent the service we received from Paula Hannah's law firm was. Paula and her team are truly outstanding. From our first contact, Paula made the process easy for us with her detailed yet friendly approach, making everything much more manageable.
Our first meeting, conducted via Zoom, was highly informative. Paula guided us in achieving our goals, helping us clearly understand what we needed to do. I highly recommend Paula's services if you seek someone knowledgeable, responsive, and pleasant throughout the journey.
She is a true professional and a fantastic representative of her craft.

Kamille is most definitely the "BEST" attorney I have ever hired and I have to say that I have had to hire an attorney on many different occasions. FACTS!! Anyway, Kamille is extremely knowledgeable, professional and is AWESOME at her job. I was in a situation that was not allowing me to get out of jail, meaning I was Non-Bondable and when being in a situation like that and have a lot to lose if you can't get out to take care of your responsibilities and/or bills, things can look pretty grim. Thats the situation I was in and I was extremely depressed with a high likelihood I was going to lose everything I worked so hard to achieve when one day I started up a conversation with an inmate living in the cell next door to mine and he told me all about Kamille and how hiring her was the best thing he has ever done for himself. I was already speaking to a different law firm but that High Profile Law Firm wanted to charge me $30,000 to take the multiple cases I had accumulated in such a short period of time. I was so upset with myself cuz there was no way I could afford $30,000 let alone stay in jail any longer than I already had risking the loss of my new flooring business. So later that day I called Kamille and she listened to me, told me what she could do for me and even though she could not promise certain results she did stand by her capabilities and it was then I wanted to hire her and it's been the best decision I have made regarding the different situations I've got myself involved in regarding my cases. I absolutely would recommend her to anyone who wants the Best Attorney in Arizona that won't brake you in your bank account. Kamille is the best attorney out here. That's my promise to you and I'm speaking the truth. Just hire her and find out for yourself. You won't be disappointed at all. PROMISE!!

I was offered a plea bargain of 2.25 years and was told that that was the best i was going to get for a agg dui. I left that hearing in tears and was feeling the worst I have ever felt. I called up Kamile and was in her office within 30 min. She took me right in cut to the chase and gave me hope that I would see the light at the end of the tunnel. She is a very beautiful person inside and out and you can tell that she will put her best foot forward. I am truly confident I am in great hands. I am writing this review because she deserves a review before hand as well as after because yesterday before I met with Kamile I was in a devastating place. After leaving she really gave me some insight and made me feel that she was going to fight for me, unlike my public defender! Her character is what really shined through for me and I am very blessed to have been referred to her. Thank you Yvonne!

The death of my mother was very hard in many ways, but the loss of my stepfather/ Dad of 30yrs was devastating to say the least. I truly thought nothing could be worse. Then my step siblings and his ex-wife decided to try to make me and my nephew into thief's and horrible people.
I never would have believed that the court's would have allowed this whole thing to go as far as it did. Allegations and blatant lies, not proof, but it did.
If it hadn't been for Davis and Doug I honestly think they might have gotten away with it, since I'm a step daughter, FYI: Stepdaughter I found to be something of a "bad thing" automatically.
Thank you for listening and fighting for us. Thank you for not allowing my dad to be misrepresented as well, even though that was a byproduct, I know he would be thankful as well.

About a month ago, I was convicted and charged with criminal damage, underage consumption of alcohol, and possession of a fraudulent (fake) ID card. Mr. Crews from the start was very supportive and helpful with everything I needed. He made me feel very hopeful about the case, despite how nervous and worried I was. Mr. Crews also responds back to my emails and texts back very quickly with detailed responses in which give me a lot of aid and clarification regarding the circumstances of my legal issues.
Mr. Crews operates a small law firm and he gets most of his clients from other very reputable attorneys across the country. This is actually how I was referred to Ted. I was referred to him by one of the best lawyers in the Colorado-Denver-Boulder area in which he said I would use Mr. Crews if this was my kid in this situation. As he was talking to my mother. Mr. Crews was able to negotiate a diversion offer with the prosecutor which means all the charges were dropped in exchange for me paying restitution and completing a Behavioral program in Phoenix. I strongly recommend anyone who has some legal issues (criminal charges to be more specific) to get in touch with Ted. He offers free consultations as well and you will not be disappointed with the prices he offers for service.

I posed a question on AVVO about my current situation. Mr Crews responded quickly and then called me the next day to give me direction and insight. Helped reduce the stress of the situation. He took time to review the situation, answer my questions and give additional guidance.And although he could not directly help me he forwarded my info to another lawyer who could. Again, great person. Great advice. We need more people like Mr Crews!

I got a parking ticket in the mail. It was for the car that my ex got in the divorce. I wasn't sure if it was worth the hassle of fighting it even though I was innocent. I explained the situation to Mr. Crews. He listened to me and quickly went into action. He filed a motion to dismiss and provided all of the documentation to the Court. After a contested hearing and testimony from the officer, Mr. Crews was able to get my case dismissed and no points on my license. I'm sure Mr. Crews had many more important cases than mine. But he took the time to take care of me and my case. I highly recommend Mr. Crews if you need a honest, reliable lawyer to make your legal problems go away.

San Harbison defended my TBI, mentally ill, adult son.My son had incurred serious charges and was headed to prison. Sam went above the call of duty for my son & persevered, fighting for him... until he proved my son's incompetence at the time he was charged. Because of Sam's bull dog tenasity, my son's charges were dropped after a gruesome year battle. I Highly recommend Sam Harbison if you have a mentally ill family member who needs criminal defence. He delivers & is a strong defense for the mentally ill. Sam sacrificed & went above & beyond what most attorney's would do for a client...to me...that's a real hero!

Nicholas gave me his best recommendation for my situation and let me know what to expect in my case. Although, I didn’t like what was ahead he stood strong with my decision and made sure we were over prepared for what was ahead. I couldn’t be any happier with the end result!!
He is very calm and respectful. Not to mention I was always able to get a hold of him when needed and responded to my emails right away!

We hired Nicholus through Knockle Law firm. We were seeking help to get consevatorship, guardianship of our Mother. Nick led us through the complete process. It was an uphill battle from the start. The result was exactly as needed for the welfare of our Mother, with the Judge ruling on all matters in our favor. The cost were fair and I believe that we got our money's worth.
We would definitely use Mr. Darus for any future legal needs. He has our recommendation.

Robert Wooten was the best thing it happened for our son. He was arrested undefined us terribly, this is not supposed to happen to us. We called Robert at the law firm Curry Pearson and Wooten. In his office Robert counseled Him, told him he needed to write an essay of sorts on his behavior & how it got him to this place. Also that he needs to pay us/his parents back for all we're doing for him. Robert asked the judge to meet with us as a family 30 minutes before court. We were so impressed that the judge took the time to explain the what and how of court procedure & jury works. Ultimately Robert represented him extremely well and his felony was reduced to a misdemeanor. I recommend Robert Wooten & I have. We are grateful!

I am very grateful to God for leading me to Attorney, Robert Wooten. God truly acts in mysterious ways. I am currently going through a divorce. My wife filed an Order of Protection against me, so she could gain access to our children, my home and my business. I thought I could handle the Order of Protection hearing on my own. I didn't really want to retain an attorney because I did not think I could afford to pay for one as I do not make a lot of money. I was very wrong. Attorney Robert Wooten not only charged me less in attorney's fees than most criminal defense lawyers would normally charge, he also went above and beyond the call of duty. As a result of Attorney Wooten's hard work, the restraining order was modified and now I get to spend invaluable time with my precious babies... priceless! Thank you Mr. Robert Wooten!

Mr. Wooten defended our son in a criminal case, and throughout the proceedings was very supportive. He communicated with us often enough that we felt comfortable and in touch with what was playing out in the courts. Robert was straight forward, and made us aware of all the possible outcomes

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!

My husband was arrested for a prohibited possessor charge a d I tried everything I could to find a way to get it dismissed. Sarah came out to me in her lobby and gave me 1 1/2 hours of her time without an appointment to help me understand the seriousness behind my husbands case
A minamum of 10 years! I was floored. She communicated with my husband and me and did everything she said she would do. It was not a dismissable case. She even got a change of venue and the best Judge with morals, fairness, and integrity. Even the DA chilled out. She turned a 10+ year sentance to 18 months and most is time served! She did an excellent job. If she ever runs for Judge she has my vote. She has excellent communication skills is genuine, and all balls out defender. She truly cares about her clients and their fate as well as the families of her clients. If you are a lucky one to be assigned Ms. West that relax, exhale, your in the best hands you can get. I promise.
Thank you Sarah you are our Hero of the year!

Sarah was able to get all three of my charges dismissed despite a new prosecutor and office policy restrictions. There is no doubt in my mind that she is passionate about fighting for her clients and making their lives easier. I felt 100% comfortable trusting her with my case and have full confidence that she went above and beyond to get my charges cleared, something another lawyer might not have done. Sarah West and the Tyler Allen law team are top notch!

If you have a DUI call Mr. Kephart. I had a complicated extreme DUI case that David did an outstanding job on. He went to court for me when my work schedule did not permit me to be in person at the hearing. He was honest, professional, straightforward, easy to get ahold of and above all affordable. He worked with me from start to finish and made the complicated DUI process in Arizona easy and stress free. I would recomend him to anyone, he is definitely the guy to go to.

Above all and below none! Mr. David Kephart's intelligence of the law, and the swag he displays inside the courtroom is simply marvelous! Mr. Kephart litigated for me at a trial on 09/18/2014 where I was facing a Misdemeanor Charge (3 Counts) of Interfering with a Judicial Order/Domestic Violence. I knew in my heart that I did nothing wrong and Mr. Kephart fought aggressively to confirm my innocence. The court room is definitely Mr. Kephart's stage! Definitely the "Michael Jackson " of the court room. Mr. Kephart has great morals and values and is not afraid to let it be known as to what they are. This is the attorney you want legally representing you, but don't be surprised that you feel also as though you met a new best friend. Just a great honest and direct overall "heavenly" sent human being! Thank you again Sir and may God continue to bless you with the skills to help others.

When two of my kids needed a lawyer, David proved to be a hero. A year ago, my college-age daughter was charged with giving alcohol to a friend who was a minor. For a future teacher, this is a serious charge which would have kept her from ever receiving certification. David worked something out where her charge was reduced and she took a class.
My son, who has had multiple legal problems due to marijuana use, recently retained David when a public defender was giving him poor advice. David got the more serious of two DUI charges removed and I think my son finally understands that pot-smokers in Arizona will pay a heavy price for their choices.
David usually returns emails and texts promptly. He is generous with advice and his rates are fair and affordable. Be careful of major law firms that ask how much money you possess and then take everything you have. Go to an honest attorney instead. I can't recommend this attorney enough. He has been a hero to our family.

I can say without a doubt that my attorney Stephen Johnson, was very effective and carefully scrutinized all relevant details. Thanks to Stephen, I was able to move back to New York and participate in the case by phone. This is not an easy task, and I immensely appreciate the work Stephen did to get my case dismissed. Stephen is a rockstar at navigating the court system! Wishing him the best future possible.

I have seldom written a comment like this on an entirely unsolicited basis. However, in this case I was so impressed by the customer service Mr. Stephen A. Johnson provided that I felt compelled to go on record with my praise. I have worked with Stephen for over 2 years now; I have observed him in action defending clients on jury trials and I believe he truly deserves this praise. In an era where exceptional one-to-one customer service excellence has virtually disappeared especially from the attorney-client industry, the passion for Mr. Stephen A. Johnson’s job truly shines through and should be held up as an example for others to try to emulate.
What has particularly impressed me about the level of customer care was that Mr. Stephen A. Johnson seemed truly passionate about his work.
In closing, Stephen is confident in his abilities, but also takes realistic assessments of his weaknesses. He seems to see beyond his own perspective. A great lawyer, needs to be able to see cases and situations from the perspective of not just his client, but also that of the opposing counsel, judge, and jury. And this is what Stephen does.

We all run into personal challenges throughout life and things happen. When I first engaged with Stephen he was soft spoken and young, which raised red flags for me. In our minds we all want to think of our personal legal defense as bull dogs, right? Well, I soon realized that our perception of what we want is not at all what we NEED. After talking with him, I was quickly introduced to a new approach. For example, if the top rated attorney (pit-bull) walked into the courtroom and everyone hates him you have to ask yourself how far you really think you'll get come time for negotiating? On the flip side of that, Stephen walked into the courtroom and there were smiles all around. I mean clerk of court, judges clerks, assistant prosecutor, and other attorneys. How far do you think you'll get if everyone loves your lawyer? Exactly! It's about finding the right fit with an attorney that has a relationship to leverage. People love this guy and want to work with him which will help your case in the long run. Stephen is very friendly, charming, quick witted, genuine, but more importantly - he cares about his clients.
Stephen was excellent in negotiating and got me what I was hoping for (anger management classes). When I 1st walked into the courtroom for the final disposition, he was actually on his personal cell phone using my home address trying to research the closest location for me - that's the kind of lawyer you should hire!
I will continue to recommend Stephen Johnson to anyone who seeks a criminal defense attorney. Stephen would be an asset to any case and any defendant who needs a trusted legal counsel. He is very easy to work with and truly amazing at what he does. Let's hope I don't run into another legal situation, but in the event - I now have him on my side.

Several years after erroneous felony charges against our son were dismissed, those charges began to show up on his background checks creating problems with employment and other opportunities. After some research, we were referred Mr. Ballacer to file a motion to have his records sealed. After carefully going over our case history to gather important details to justify our request, Dan's office filed the motion on his behalf. From the outset, Mr. Ballacer was honest that there were no guarantees that our motion would be granted. When a hearing was scheduled, as opposed to a flat denial of our motion, he assured us that this was our opportunity to justify our request. At the hearing, Dan's concise presentation of the supporting facts resulted in the judge granting our motion to exonerate hour son of the original charges and seal his arrest record. Thank you for all of your hard work!

When you want someone on your side, this is the Lawyer to have. He looks at your situation as his own and takes it on with the same passion that you would. This is not a generic television commercial lawyer. He actually cares about you as a person first and then client. He pursued my case relentlessly for almost ten years and won three times at the Court of Appeals. We prevailed in the end and I could not have done it without him!

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.
