The first time I retained Bryan for legal representation was in September of 2016 when I was arrested for DUI. At 19 y/o. this left me in a state of confusion and uncertainty. My lack of experience with the legal system left my head filled with more questions than answers. Mr. McCarthy immediately put me at ease with his patience, as well as, his understanding demeanor. Bryan’s exceptional knowledge of Florida’s DUI laws provided me with a sense of confidence and reassurance that I was in capable hands.
Under Bryan's guidance, the process became manageable less intimidating. He thoroughly explained each step of the proceedings, always taking the time to ensure that I fully understood my rights and options. His professionalism and unwavering support during this difficult time were invaluable.
Fast forward to five years later, I found myself facing a second DUI charge. The potential ramifications of a second offense could have affected both my personal life and my business severely. However, Bryan's unwavering belief in me and his ability to navigate the legal complexities helped me emerge from this situation with the best possible outcome.
Throughout both cases, his flexible approach was invaluable. He recognized the impact this situation had on my business and worked diligently to protect my interests on both fronts. His generous allocation of time and unwavering commitment to my case were evident throughout the process. He was always available to address my concerns and provide updates, never leaving me feeling uncertain or alone.
In conclusion, my experiences Bryan have been transformative. His professional acumen, coupled with his empathetic and generous nature, has left an indelible mark on my life. For anyone seeking legal representation that goes beyond the call of duty, Bryan is undoubtedly the attorney to trust. His dedication to his clients is unparalleled, and his ability to navigate the complexities of the legal system with grace and effectiveness is something I will forever be grateful for.

John provided me with estate planning services, preparing my will and associated estate planning documents. This is not my area of expertise, so I definitely need the help of an expert attorney in this area. I chose to rely on John's many years of experience in the law and my personal knowledge of his professionalism and knowledge. I highly recommend him to anyone needing help in any area of the law in which he practices.

Kory was an outstanding lawyer. He did a lot of work on my case. He contacted my probation officer to get her opinion and asked for her recommendation. He also contacted witnesses regarding my case. He presented information to the state to get a good outcome for my situation. I would highly recommend Kory. I have had Kory as my attorney two times and he has won my case both times. Their office will give Kory your message when you call. Kory has always returned my call and kept phone conference call appointments. Crutchfield and Wilson is an excellent law firm choice.

The “white knight in shining armor “ is probably trite. After working with Mr. Flajole, I can’t think of higher praise. I got myself in stupid trouble and there was no judgment at all from Mr. Flajole; from the beginning he was “How can you help you.” Then he was a rock star in court and gave me good life advice. I will try to stay out of trouble. If I do ever get into a pickle again Mr. Flajole would have my first call,

Curtis has been my attorney for over 15 years. He was by my side throughout a very long and difficult divorce, and years of custody and child support problems. He also represented me in a criminal case, were he easily won my defense.
I have had 3 other attorneys in the past and none of them have matched Curtis' knowledge, wit, and overall ability to represent and defend my rights.
For the time I have used other attorneys and for what I've paid them, I would have been glad to pay him double what he charged me. He was worth every penny.

We hired Mr. Crutchfield as he was recommended from friends concerning our adoption. Although, the process and the system made it take longer than any of us wanted, there is no other attorney in the area I would have rather used! He and his paralegal were an absolute pleasure, treated us like family, fought for us, and never stopped believing in the outcome we all desired. They saw it to the end with us!! I am so happy and proud that we get to tell our son who Greg and Kristen (paralegal) are in the family photos of our final court date. This would have never happened without them! Our family is happy to say that we highly recommend the family attorney that fights for you to the end, Mr. Gregory Critchfield!!!

If I could leave LESS than one star, I would. Recommended Scarlett to my mom/step dad as she had went to highschool with MY boss- BIGGEST mistake ever. Thousands of dollars wasted, months of unanswered phone calls- all to end up paying more money to switch attorneys completely. Our time spent with Scarlett was not just a complete time of waste and money, but also extremely COUNTER-PRODUCTIVE. New attorney had to sort out the mess she had created. Thankful we found someone who takes their oath seriously. Save your time and save your money- keep looking.

Well people. Just wondering if any one knows what PRO BONO mean? Cause this law firm does not. When TYNAN decided she was finished working on my case, she was done. She put her hands up and walked away from case. She and “staff” have asked me to PAY for expences and sent me a bill on a PRO BONO case.
There is almost ZERO contact with Tynan direct.
When i wanted to take case to trial...... she said she would quit before taking to trial. So again i was forced to sign or have no lawyer. I signed under duress.
Im not saying its a bad place. Just saying my personal experience and documentation to prove and some will be posted in the pictures
I’d look else where if you need personal attention in a matter. Many times i was told Tynan was at trial or busy ect.
Even when Tynan did my fed case. In a whole year i think i got her on phone 6 times.
Take your time and look.

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.
