I am a Transsexual woman and hired Mr. Arems Dilaveri for my attorney to fight an unwarented stop leading to charges of a DUI. Mr. Dilaveri showed me a great deal of respect during our consultation and showed charicter that I had not seen in other offices.
I decided to hire Arens Dilaveri not only because he was reasonably priced but also presented a very strong presense of confidence. After he completed his discovery. He felt confident that my case had a good chance of being won.
After some delay from the prsecution and an accident in which the arresting officer was injured I had my first hearing almost a year later.
Mr. dilaveri discused his stratagy with me and allowed me to be prepared for questions from him and what whould be expected from the prosectors. He was calm and confident and it put me at ease even with being on the stand.
During the hearing he was very persistant and deliberate in his questioning. He was able to keep the officer and the prosecution therein on the defensive throught the hearing. He was able to establish fact out of a situation that the prosecution tried to make seem hear-say in reguards to my testomony. HAsking the questions of the officer that allowed the future questions be me to be allready established as a situation that was most likly.
After the hearing he was reassureing to me about how the days events had gone. He typed up the writen argument that he submitted to the Judge over two weeks earlier than the prosecution submitted theres. He kept me informed of the situation.
Roughly a month after the hearing I recieved an E-mail from MR. Dilaveri that I had won my case and it had been thrown out. With all evidence being suppresed due to the nature in which it was obtain was not legal.
I would recommend this attorney to anyone needing someone to fight for them in court. He is quick, smart, tactful and extremely respectful. I not only recomend him because he allowed me to clear my name but because of these traites. I had offered him this high of regaurd for his work for me before the case was even finalized.

Jerry brings experience not only as a great attorney and legal consultant, but also as a great human being. His integrity and respect are evident by simply walking with him through the Courthouse; many know him by name, and offer a smile and friendly 'hello Jerry' as they pass by. Jerry brings IQ to the table as well as EQ, and takes extra time to truly listen to his clients. He works through re-enactments, recreating situations and emotions that can help both him and his clients understand actions taken by individuals. He delivers a big city product in a small town package. I wouldn't want to work with anyone else for any legal consultation. Jerry is the best - period.

He's one of the greatest. Mr. Perry has an amount of knowledge that can only be gained through decades of experience. we are talking about a guy that likes to win, and hes damn good at it too. He met with me multiple times a week, made sure that nothing was left out. He didn't just talk about the case he got a feel for it, connecting with e personally before anything else. He has this sense about him, so precise down to the littlest details. Multiple times he took his personal car during time i know he would of rather been home with his family and we went to the spots where various things had happened and it was thanks to his hard work and dedication we were able to win (by a landslide). Being represented by Mr. Perry gave me a sense of relief. i walked away from this experience not only with a clean record but life lessons and insight into the real world as well.
Thank you Mr. Perry

My lawyer was hesitant at first about the case and really took along time and I had ups and down feelings- mixed emotions but I know why now and he became very close to me as a friend and lawyer. I will recommend him to others.

Mr. Braun was my lawyer. I hired him for a restraining order against the person who sexually assaulted me brutally. I was just 16. Not only did he get the job done in the best way possible, he made sure I was okay the entire time and didn't let anyone bully me in court. We won. I was relieved and frankly he had saved my life. Getting that guy away from me was the best thing ever. Do not hesitate, hire this guy. He is awesome. Professional, compassionate, and extremely efficient. If I ever need a lawyer again, he will be my lawyer.

I would highly recommend Zach. My DUI 2nd degree case took almost 2 years, as the arresting officer was deployed to military shortly after my DUI stop. Zach kept me informed durring the whole process. We had several challanges and he worked each one through to the end. He was empathetic to the situation and still "told it as it is" and not just what i wanted to hear. His office staff was always very polite, patient and kind.
There are higher priced lawyers in town, but i don't know what they could have done for the extra money, that Zach and his staff didnt do for me.
Thank you Zach, i hope to never see you again :)

We hired Zach Bauer to represent our son who was charged as a juvenile with criminal charges. It was the most difficult thing that our family has faced. Since my son is a juvenile he could have received a court appointed representative but we saw how little time they are able to spend on cases and hiring Zach Bauer was the best thing for my son. When we met with Zach we did not know what was ahead of us. In our initial visit he was able to step us through the process and tell us what we needed to be concerned about and what we didn't have to worry about and we left feeling so much better. Zach was easy to contact with questions and he was able to work around our busy schedules to meet. We found Zach easy to work with, knowlegeable about the law and impressive in meetings and also in court. Zach was empathetic and has a good connection with teenagers. I would recommend Zach Bauer as a lawyer to family and friends or anyone who is facing crimianl charges. He will fight for you and make sure you understand what is happening with your case.

I found Zach Bauer a great help for me at the time of my harrassment charge. He told it the way it was and he went out of his way to arrange meetings at times that were convenient for me. He understands that oftentimes there is more to the story than a charge implies. His knowledge of the legal system was shown from day one and his confidence was always encouraging. When it came time for the court date, Zach had told me step by step what would happen, and it was so. I highly recomnend Zach Bauer as an excellent criminal defense lawyer.

Patrick Arendt helped me during the darkest time of my life. His professional skill saved me from being convicted of life (and career!) ending felony charges. During this time I was emotional, I was difficult to deal with and I often asked him questions. All of these things he handled sensitively, accurately and punctually. A true pro. He was there before my arraignment, explaining everything as we went. We ended up with a positive result in my case. I highly represent him for ANYONE seeking criminal defense services in the Rochester area

Great attorney to deal with. He tells it to you straight and looks to find the best possible result from the situation. I hired Arendt twice and both cases had been dismissed one the day of the trial so I didn't even have to go to the court house. I recommend this criminal defense attorney to anyone and everyone.

Having Austin has been my best experience with an attorney. Very reasonably priced. I was facing a mandatory 60 months sentence and his representation of me got me off with a disposition. He speaks elaborately, and fluently. His court room experience was very reassuring. I was very appreciative how he was able to break things down and make things easy for me to understand. He covered all the bases, and had realistic goals and expectations of me to help me with my case. I would recommend to anybody and if I ever find myself in trouble again I will be contacting him immediately.

Attorney Orwoll, was the absolute best! His staff, Taylor and Dana, were wonderful and so professional and caring to work with. I was dealing with a horrible divorce. They made it possible to get through this, awful life experience. People may say that, "it's their job and you're paying them to work for you" but it's so much more with, Attorney Orwoll. They were honest and tough. No one else could have fought against and won, with my ex husband. The only outcome I wanted was a fair one and they provided it.

We had an issue that was out of our families control and Mr. Murakami came recommended from a few people we knew. I contacted him, he sat down with the wife and I, and was able to resolve the issues we had in a fair and honest way. For any other matters we will use him again and highly recommend him.

Mr. Murakami was courteous and professional in his office setting, but on more than one occasion after I'd hired him, I called the office regarding a couple of fairly straightforward questions, and he never returned my calls. I understand attorneys are busy, but he could have at least had his paralegal or other staff call me to try to help if he couldn't. Also, he was unable to appear in court with me, and had a colleague appear in his place. I just wish he would have called ahead to notify me of this to see if I wanted to wait for him, because I was used to him instead of having someone I had never met before show up in his place. The colleague was professional in court, and things went fairly well at the time. However, a debtor that I thought had been dissolved have been showing up on paper that should not be. I realize the legal landscape can be ever-changing and this event may not be the fault of Mr. Murakami.

I would highly recommend Restovich Braun and Associates to anyone that needs expert criminal defense counsel.
I was facing a 3rd Degree DUI charge that was the result of illegal expansion of a basic traffic stop by a young, inexperienced Highway Patrol officer. Dan McIntosh focused in on every detail and picked the officer apart at the Contested Omnibus Hearing. In turn all charges were dropped, and my license revocation was rescinded. I have multiple professional licenses with the State of Minnesota that were in jeopardy had I not won my case.
DUI cases are winnable if you have the right representation. Dan McIntosh gets the job done!!!

Seven months into my custody battle (and a ridiculous $22K spent with little to show for it), Mr Rolsch started ignoring all communication. He then suddenly withdrew during a VERY critical time in my case, leaving me with no Atty or money. I am obviously not happy with his services and do not recommend him. His legal assistant however, is great!

I hired Steve to represent me in my child custody case. At the time I had no idea that he was the same attorney that represented my uncle in a divorce were my he lost almost everything. He also grew up with the opposing party in my custody case. I had thought that he was a genuine straight up attorney that was good at his job. I took out a loan for $3,000 and that was gone in no time but I thought to myself that custody cases are expensive and that is the way it has to be. Another $5,000 and I now owe him a thousand still. We never once made it to court and he was sitting there billing me for calls he never had to make to me in the first place because he knew my answer to settling. I smartened up and got another attorney to handle the rest of my case. I hope as many people as possible get a chance to read this before they hire him. I also plan on speaking to an attorney about taking him to court to be repaid the money that was spent on the services that he did not deliver on. To all I wish the best. God Bless You.

I'm not just a bitter former client I can justify my rating. Trustworthy, I had to call Mr rolsch to remind him of my court date in which we never ended up speaking with each other prior to that date. Responsive, Months went by without speaking with Mr rolsch and when I would try to call him the only response I would get was a $75 bill for listening to my voice mail but never did hear from him. Knowledgeable, he billed me for hours and hours of research for a dwi case. That is the bread and butter of any defense attorney, why would he need to spend that much time researching unless he was just padding the bill. He never did come up with even a remote defense plan even after I offered a few avenues which I still regret pursuing after speaking with other attorneys. Kept me informed, I was never even sure he would show up in court not to mention have anything to tell me about my case.
BEWARE
when I first spoke with Mr rolsch I explained to him that I could pay him only an agreed upon amount (already 2 times higher than everyone else) he said that was fine unless we had to go to trial. Six months after my case was over I received a bill for 3 times that amount. He ended up taking me to small claims for it. When I showed up for court I found that the entire courtroom was filled with his former clients with the same story. I was always told you pay for what you get and that's why I went with rolsch but there isn't one aspect of his business conduct I would recommend.

This man was court appointed to represent me and lost my case. He has absolutely no idea how to represent anyone as an attorney and is not knowledgeable. He subpoenaed no witnesses for me. He subpoenaed no professionals to testify. He submitted no court documents. I might as well have had absolutely no attorney and he was a waste. I found a legal complaint against 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.
