Mr. Ravi Manne was very professional from the initial consultancy until the satisfactory outcome of our case. Our case was sent in on 2/20/2015 and on 2/24/2015 we were notified that our I601a had been approved!
I started the I-601 process with another attorney but found out that attorney had been disbarred for fraud. When I found out I no longer had an attorney I received an RFE from immigration.
I decided to contact Ravi because he had successfully completed an H1B transfer for my employer.
Even though we were in the middle of our I-601a process, Ravi picked up our case and stuck with us even though we had such little time to present our case. By the time i contacted Ravi, we had less than 2 weeks to respond to the RFE.
He asked us to gather the required documents and gave us a detailed list of what we needed to gather. After we turned over all the documents to him, he promptly and accurately prepared our application. After all the applications were signed, he sent them to the immigration office without any delay.
Ravi was extremely dedicated to our case. We spent many evenings on the phone and numerous emails back and forth to meet our deadline. He was very attentive to our case and answered all of our questions (And there were quite a few questions!)
My husband and I want to thank Mr. Manne for his dedication, hardwork, attentiveness, professionalism, knowledge, and communication. We want to thank him especially for his willingness to deal with our nervousness and worries. He went above and beyond his responsibilities by making sure that we understood the process and answered any questions we could possibly think of.
Contacting Mr. Ravi Manne was the best decision i could have made for our case.

Taylor has been a very trusted advisor to my business for more than 5 years.
He understands the complexity of issues and is quick to communicate the limits of his own legal understanding of specific topics. Importantly, the next you speak with him, he often knows a great deal more about those areas where he felt he was lacking. That shows enthusiasm, energy and integrity - important values that are the foundation of his practice.
Taylor is also a fine communicator - often pointing out the nuance of specific agreements and areas where we might be concerned. This quality was particularly helpful in my most recent agreement with a longtime business partner.
Additionally, Taylor successfully advised me through a difficult negotiation with Chinese business partners that required special attention to international laws governing disputes and arbitration. He understands these areas quite well now because my agreement required him to do so.
I trust him and could not offer a stronger recommendation of his services and practice. He's a good man.

I was quite anxious about setting forth on the journey of establishing a family trust. Taylor Way and his staff were outstanding. Taylor responded quickly to my numerous questions and concerns. Walked me through the process gracefully. I came out on the other side relaxed and confidant that my heirs would be properly provided for according to my wishes.
Best part … my house will NOT have to go through Probate!

I was referred to Mr. Manning by the top two criminal attorneys in Georgia. Mr. Manning made himself available and quickly took control of a very unfortunate matter where, out of nowhere, I was falsely accused of a heinous act. His depth of knowledge of the law and his extensive history in navigating the intricate layers of a complex criminal matter are unparalleled.
He is a formidable advocate to have representing you and I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Mrs Springsteen started representing my immigration case in 2015. She has continued to work on my case, as it has been extremely complicated. She has always been available when I have needed her, whether it is to speak about my case, or just offer support/advise. She is extremely professional, prompt and will do absolutely anything in her power to help. My experience with her has been an absolute pleasure.

Continued trespass, harassment and property damage by a neighbor ultimately escalated to a point of confrontation in which I was assaulted. In response, I summoned local police and brought an assault charge against the offender. In retaliation, the neighbor later made false claims & brought a baseless charge against me. The ensuing case caused substantial anxiety over the potential consequences as they would affect me legally, socially & financially.
Hiring attorney Kevin Boxberger was the best decision that I could have made. His professional confidence and obvious legal acumen quickly put me at ease. Mr. Boxberger reliably returned my calls, patiently answered all of my questions, articulated thoughtful legal strategies, and always kept me apprised of any progress made in my case.
Kevin (and his top-notch staff) remained self-motivated throughout and outworked the opposition in every manner. I'm eternally grateful to Kevin and his staff for managing the optimal legal result: having my charge dismissed outright!

I had a single car accident and was taken to the hospital. I didn't even know they took my blood for an alcohol test. It came back over the legal limit. The first lawyer I spoke to told me I had no defense since it was a single car crash and alcohol was in my blood. Greg disagreed. He did a great job questioning the officer and got a NOT GUILTY!

I obtained his service under my very unfortunate circumstances. Over the years (almost four years) going through with my case, I have learn to respect the legal process and importance of a good attorney.
Throughout the years he has given me many good advice as a client and as a person. His comforting advice, sometimes stinging criticism, and best of all honest and correct assessment of situation will bring comfort to difficult situations. I've always do my best to read his carefully composed emails with equal amount of focus on my end.
Sometimes the truth is a hard pill to swallow but when it's presented to you it's up to you to accept it or not. However, can't deny the fact that in difficult situations sometimes that's exactly what you need. Joe will give you just that: truth.
At the end I got what I wished for. I am grateful for it. The entire process was enlightening with Joe. I highly recommend him.

I had hired another lawyer, but replaced him as soon as I spoke with Mr. Little. James didn’t over promise, but gave me confidence he knew the anxiety this matter was causing, and the hope that he would have it dismissed entirely. He talked to me like a person, not a case file. Mr. Little did have the matter dismissed on the first court date, while I’m still waiting on the refund from the first lawyer.

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.
