Bruckheim & Patel is the best DUI firm in the DMV area. If you ask around other attorneys, which I did, this firm is on the forefront of DUI defense and has a stellar reputation above the rest. Ms. Patel represented me and my results were better than expected. Two not guilty verdicts after a trial where many individuals would have told me to plea.

Michael Bruckheim was nothing short of fantastic through out my entire legal process. I was a first time offender so I had no idea what the process was going to be and he always had that in mind as he guided me through all of the obstacles we faced. I always felt comfortable and knew I was in a good position because of the passion and commitment that he showed me during our very first meeting. I would absolutely recommend Michael to anyone who is looking for a lawyer that will answer any and all questions you have and really go to bat for you when the time comes in court! He laid out he best possible scenario for me on day 1 and that's exactly what we got in the end. I could not be more happy with my decision to hire Michael Bruckheim!

Michael Bruckeheim is an amazing attorney and makes you feel like a friend rather than a client. I knew he was an excellent choice from the start as he spent over two hours on the phone with me on a Saturday morning. He was straightforward about all the possible outcomes of the case, which I really appreciate. He also gave me some courses prior to my court date which really helped my case. In the end, I had my charges greatly reduce and Mr. Bruckheim was a calming influence throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend Mr. Bruckheim!

Dave is one attorney I would recommend to any friend or acquaintance; I wouldn't think of Dave as appropriate for some but not for others. Dave invests himself 100% in your legal matter; you can feel confident you have found the best advocate. If you are looking for an attorney who will represent you with excellence, Dave's the right choice.

All around excellent lawyer. Mr. Pasti was able to get me out of a potential dui situation, knocked down to a dwi with little to none extra consequences, and beleive me I have learned my lesson. However Mr. Pasti was very professional, open to discussion regarding payment and just right on top of the case from the start.

PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW IN DETAIL: Getting a DUI is stressful. The night of the incident I knew I needed a lawyer. I was so devastated I asked my sister to do some online research and tell me where to go. This was my 2nd time and I thought my life was over. She found Michael and said this guy has 5 stars-go see him. I met with Michael and given my previous experience with attorneys he was one of the most laid back and coolest people I have ever met. His relaxed nature made me uneasy at 1st, but later I would find that I needed this to keep me calm. Michael recommended a series of tasks to complete as a back-up plan, just in case the non-guilty plea went out the window. He made sure I was able to drive until my case was heard.
The week before the trail I met with him and we reviewed the discovery information together including the tape. He gave me a topical overview of the plan but assured me he was ready to fight. The trial date finally arrived, and my stomach was in knots. His cool demeanor instantly made me feel better. The prosecutor wanted to give me a year of jail time after hearing wind of my prior. Michael smiled and said don’t worry. He was very realistic with me and said that there was a small chance that I could serve that sentence. Michael never lied during this entire experience. Somehow, he still felt hopeful.
He had several strategies for multiple scenarios and as the prosecutor maneuvered through the case, Michael was right there with her. The judge overruled him quite a bit, but this didn’t shake Michael at all. With his knowledge of the DUI laws and simply being born here, his technical arguments impressed the judge. At one point, I even saw the prosecutors look of amazement as she did not expect him to be so skilled in the case.
He was able to get the breathalyzer thrown out, from there it was a piece of cake. I walked away from a year sentence to having a ticket for 1 light out over my license plate.
If you are reading this review, trust me look know further for a DUI attorney. Michael will fight hard for your case no matter how the outcome may appear!

Mr. Michael is the true expert and the man of the men for practicing the law in DC area. I got into trouble for some case which I had nothing to do with and government put multiple charges on me without telling me details when they arrested me. Mr. Michael was there to help me and not only as professional lawyer, I felt that he had compassion toward me for what I got into and eager to fight the way out of this which made my whole case dismissed. I am so thankful to him and owe my life on him for this. Thank you so much for lending me the hand!

The outcome of my case was so favorable it’s almost as if she had scripted it!
Attorney Sei-Hee Arii has a 360 degree bird’s eye view of the legal system and the courtroom.I was facing very serious charges with almost certain jail time if convicted. I initially thought of defending myself but my family compelled me to seek council.
I reached out to Attorney Arii the day before my 1st trial date (don’t be like me, make contact now) and requested her counsel. She was extremely understanding, honest about the situation and the possible outcomes but above all VERY RESPONSIVE! I immediately knew I was in good hands and could trust her. Best decision I’ve ever made! In court she laid out a multi-point strategy that accounted for every possible scenario the prosecutor or judge could present and sure enough it went as she planned.
During court I witnessed someone with an almost identical case as mine (yet with a better driving record) be found guilty and sentenced to jail time, however Miss Arii got ALL of my charges DISMISSED! I went home a free man! I am extremely grateful! Miss Arii’s great reviews are one of the reasons I chose her as counsel and I’m proud to now add my own testimony of how effective, resourceful and dedicated she is as a lawyer. Thank you Attorney Arii!

I could do this anonymously but I won’t. My name is Antoine Haskins and I had a Life sentence. I basically gave up on freedom and life itself. But God sent me Isabelle Raquin and she helped me attain my freedom. She is a Godsend for real. She actually cares about her clients and when you email her or message her she responds back. Not in weeks or months. Like a day or two. She is amazing. Trust me you won’t be sorry if you get her. You want freedom or your loved ones free hire Isabelle Raquin and watch her work. She’s very respectable and respectful. Honestly I can’t say enough good things about her. Don’t believe me? Check my page and you’ll see for yourself. Best decision you could ever make for an Attorney

Henry Shih is a superb attorney.

Mr. Felsen was absolutely amazing! He went over and beyond his call of duty for me, ended up taking on an additional surprise case, and stepped in for my bond hearing. He worked over the weekend to ensure my needs were met for my cases. He even delivered our evidence to the court room in a snowstorm for the next day. Mr. Felsen gave me both the pros and cons to each decision that would be made on my end. He was a diamond in a rough. I wasnt just another number to him. I could tell he truly cared. He also is a monster in the court room and knows law very well. He knows when to be aggressive. My situation is very weird and was a challenging one, but he came through and won our cases. He even visited me while I was incarcerated on a Sunday and he spoke with the Commissioner at 12:30 AM unexpectedly for a different case he wasnt planning on working on. Mr. Felsen truly cares and is passionate about what he does that is what sets him apart from the millions of Attorneys out here. He will fight to the end for you. I am so grateful to have had him because I knew he would be fully transparent and give it to me straight. I would highly recommend calling Mr. Felsen for your representation needs.

I had the privilege of working with Raquel Smith from the Law Offices of Barry H. Helfand, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! Her passion, dedication, and commitment to my case went above and beyond my expectations.
From the very beginning, Raquel demonstrated exceptional legal expertise. She listened attentively to my concerns, thoroughly analyzed the situation, and crafted a strategic approach. Her attention to detail and tireless efforts ensured the best possible outcome for me.
But it wasn’t just her legal prowess that impressed me—it was her genuine care for my well-being. Raquel took the time to explain every step of the process, alleviating my anxiety and providing much-needed reassurance. She was always available to answer my questions, even during challenging times.
In court, Raquel’s poise and eloquence were remarkable. She fought tirelessly for my rights, and her persuasive arguments made a significant impact. Thanks to her, I received a favorable resolution that exceeded my expectations.
I wholeheartedly recommend Raquel Smith and the Law Offices of Barry H. Helfand. If you’re seeking a dedicated, compassionate, and effective attorney, look no further. Raquel truly goes the extra mile for her clients, and I am forever grateful for her outstanding representation.
Thank you, Raquel, for making a difference in my life!

I wish I could give 10 stars. Engaging Barry to help me with my 2 DUI cases was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Barry handled my cases effectively and gracefully. He has helped me to get the lightest sentences possible !!! I actually think the results were better than the lightest sentences possible. Because of COVID, the court had to change my court dates and the process dragged longer than expected, but Barry and his legal assistant Melanie have always made themselves available whenever I need them. First class lawyer with first class legal assistant! I would highly recommend Barry and his law office. He has saved my life. He could save yours too.

I was facing sexual assault charges and had plead guilty to a misdemeanor with another lawyer. With the plea, I was required to register as a sex offender. this was the absolute worst time of my life. My only chance out of this situation would be a successful reconsideration appeal. I needed a lawyer who was top notch and experienced. I choose Barry Helfand and he did not disappoint. Two months later I was scheduled a hearing and Barry was able to get me a PBJ. I am no longer on the registry, I am a free man. Thank you Mr. Helfand

Mr. Geller did an amazing job with my case. i was facing some serious time and some very serious charges. Geller showed so much compassion for my life and my story this man cared about me and he genuinely wanted nothing but the best for me i was going through a lot at the time of the crime and we utilized these things in my defense yes i was guilty but i am not a bad person and without Mr. Geller on my side i don't think i would have been able to tell my story i wouldnt have had a chance to show people i have a heart and i am human and i made a mistake i would not have had the same outcome had he not been in my corner fighting for me. he was also constantly in contact with my family keeping them in the loop checking up on them making sure everyone was doing ok and keeping my family calm. he would also come to see me personally while i was detained in our county facility he hand delivered all paperwork pertaining to my case and he went through everything with me to ensure i was 100% informed on everything so i was aware of all possibilities good and bad he relieved a lot of the stress i had once i knew what was going on because in that situation the period of time when you dont really know what will happen is painful there are so many things running through your head at that time it drives you crazy and he put all that at ease i highly recommend acquiring his services god bless you sir and thank you for all of your help this case was a win in my books!

I would highly recommend Mr. Gellar. He is very knowledgeable of the Law and was very informative. I had many questions and he was very responsive to to all requests via Zoom, Facetime, Text, phone calls, and emails. He prepared a vigorous defense which resulted in a very favorable outcome that was beyond my expectations.

I had a bench warrant that was ongoing for quite sometime. Upon doing my research, I kept coming across Mr. Geller as one of the best lawyers for my situation. I made the call and I’m so glad I did. He took care of everything for me and expeditiously. He wrote a letter to the state’s prosecutors to have it thrown out. Two days later, he called with great news, they decided on dropping the charges!!!! I was extremely happy due to this weight finally coming off my shoulders and I have Mr.Geller to thank for that. Do not hesitate to have him on your side because he not only gets the job done, he cares!

Recently I had received inferior work from a dentist claiming he was a specialist in a particular field of dentistry. In addition to paying an exorbitant fee for his service, I was extremely dissatisfied to say the least. I sought education on the topic of medical malpractice and found proficiency in the matter with Mr. Oakley. I suggest a person seek out Mr. Oakley for any of their legal needs.

Top caliber lawyer. I had a home improvement contract I was struggling to get out of after the contractor kept delaying the work and tried to bait and switch me with the materials they were going to use. He was thorough in going through the details of the contract and pragmatic about what my legal options were. Drafted a very well written letter to the contractors requesting a cancellation of the agreement which they promptly obliged to. Saved me a lot of headache. I'd recommend him without hesitation.

I have had a complicated case that needed to be defended.
I have searched and talked to many attorneys in this area of practice. I found Mark in Avvo due to his high rate of great answers to people's questions.
Then, I had the privilege to set up a time with him to have a consultation him. I found him a very knowledgeable and resourceful person. I would name him a researcher rather than solely an attorney, who knows exactly where to get the legal basis, what to do next, and how to act with clients and the court employees.
It has been a great journey working with him and I am very much satisfied with his detail-oriented personality and answering all of my questions.

I cannot recommend Sharon Diamant strongly enough. I consulted with her in early 2022, and her approach was refreshing, real and utterly straightforward. She did not sugarcoat what sort of results she could produce, and she was very straightforward in giving me all of my options.
Sharon always got back to me when I texted her. If she was in Court, she said so. She met with me on my schedule, which usually included Saturday mornings.
When we were in Court, she was organized and prepared. My custody case actually wound up going before a Judge, and she presented my case in a methodical and easy-to-follow way. She simplified a very complex process.
She appears to be incredibly well-liked by her colleagues and the Court, and it was clear to me she is well-respected.
I was very impressed by her calm, rational and reasoned demeanor. She answered every question I had and was never condescending, nor did she ever make me feel like I wasn't the most important client she had.
On a personal note, Sharon is an absolute sweetheart. She always insisted I call her by her first name, and it is very clear this lawyer has no ego. She is there to get a job done.
I don't recommend divorce, but if you have to go through a divorce or custody case, you cannot go wrong with Sharon.
I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER.

Sharon is one of the best family attorney that America has ever produced that I've worked with. During my first meeting, she explained everything to me from the beginning to the end that i could understand and she was very involved and responsive to all of my questions in my divorce case. She represented me until I finally got my divorce. If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable, caring and family lawyer, at a reasonable price, than call the law office of Diamant Gerstein, LLC, and specifically ask for Sharon Diamant, Esquire. She's one of the "BEST" family lawyer that I had retained and I highly recommend her because she gets the job done in a timely manner.

I live in South Carolina. My granddaughter lives in Maryland. I am a grandmother and great grandmother. Retired for over 20 years and I explained my dilemma as a retiree working on a budget. She was extremely understanding and worked with me to come up with a financial plan.
Thank you; your staff and Erin for the assistance with this difficult case
to ensure the best outcome possible.
As I mentioned before, I am so grateful to have found you to represent and advocate for my granddaughter. Although she and I knew that you were passionate about your work and very thoughtful of her continuing on with her life throughout this case, we both knew what had to be done in order for her to realize that she was not going to be exonerated from all of the charges. Sharon also worked me from
Lastly, thank you for assisting with expunging her record. I'm grateful for that also. I would recommend your firm to anyone. One thing for sure, I didn't have to do too much because you were behind the scenes working all the time although we thought you were not. Your work was fluid and you were direct with your actions the entire time. BRILLIANT WORK!
Sincerely,
"LL"--

I hired Thomas Witkop to represent me in a school bus ticket case. He was incredibly communicative, professional, and effective as an attorney. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for someone to represent them.

Mr. Witkop was an excellent lawyer who defended me on such short notice. I had become involved in a legal matter on a Saturday morning and by Tuesday, case was dismissed in my favor. Mr. Witkop took time out of his Saturday to answer my call and allow me to explain my situation.
Not only was he understanding and already doing what he could to get on my case, but also spent hours the following day to ensure we were ready for the hearing days after (mind you this was a Sunday). He was always available via phone for any concerns and even had alternate methods prepared for the hearing to ensure I was satisfied with the end result.
Thanks to Mr. Witkop’s help, I could go in to the hearing with a peace of mind knowing I had a lawyer who was well prepared and eager to defend me. He arrived to the hearing before the scheduled time and was prepared with facts, evidence, and questions to ask that allowed the case to be ruled in my favor.
Mr. Witkop has also followed up with me afterwards to make sure I was clear of any further steps I had to take. I will definitely contact him for any legal matters I may face in the future and also highly recommend him to anyone needing a lawyer who takes their job seriously and will do it to the best of their ability.

Mal is great at this -- He listened intently, read over all paperwork and evidence and won my case in a very masterful manner. It was a first time DUI charge, no priors, no accident, with refusal to blow. I was instructed on steps to take prior to my hearing, preparation, and what to expect. Come hearing-time, I was ready to plea, but he took it trial and was found not guilty, and only paid traffic citations. In the future, I will recommend Mal's office to friends and family.

Debra is truly a gift of a human being! My family member advised me to speak with her regarding my custody case that seemed to just drag for the last few years. Working with Debra is the greatest experience I could've been given and I hope everyone chooses her for their legal desires. Her knowledge, care and communication has awarded me with the blessing of a breeze of a case in and out of the courtroom. She fights her hardest and is clearly very successful in her career. She has made me feel like my family is truly a priority to her and her ability to take the stress out of such an emotional case makes her the greatest attorney you will ever connect with.

Attorney Ackerman was recommended to me by a colleague. I advised him that I was going through a divorce and needed representation. We had a phone consultation and I immediately knew that she was the Attorney that I needed. Attorney Ackerman was very knowledgeable, kind, assertive and pleasure to work with.

I highly recommend Attorney Ackerman you will NOT regret it.

I have been a lecturer at a DC law school for many years. I know criminal defense attorney John Sharifi and am familiar with his work. He is on a short list of the very best trial and appellate lawyers in the Maryland-DC area. He is knowledgeable, ethical, dedicated, and, most important, he is a crackerjack at critical thinking and analyzing and helping to resolve complex criminal legal matters. If you need the best defense, I recommend him strongly.

We hired Mr. Sharifi to help with a young family member's probation violation. I was actually referred by a friend of a friend in the legal system. I am so glad I took that reference because what was supposed to be a cut and dry case ended up taking two hearings, convincing a judge to take on a different perspective, a lot of phone calls, emails, and coordination with several family members and private individuals.
I reached out to Mr. Sharifi by email, and after an initial phone call, he provided a quote for services. I thought the price was fair- but after receiving the full legal service I realize it was more than fair!
Mr. Sharifi took every single one of my phone calls. He answered every email and addressed every concern that anyone, including his client or family members had, from start to finish. He emphasized the importance of his client and family members having a clear understanding of the proceedings, decisions, options, consequences, and what information was needed. Nothing was too small to discuss, and he was a very hands on attorney!
This attorney has heart. He has a good understanding of what the client wants and what the court needs to hear. He did not hesitate to reach out to any contact or resource he thought might help his client. It was apparent that Mr. Sharifi fosters relationships with everyone around him- the judge, attorneys, police officers, his client and their family members. He is thoughtful, direct, and he helped us "win" our case.

John has been excellent in handling my case from start to finish. From the time I contacted him and shared my need of representation, to when I had to walk out of the court room with a favorable verdict, he took the time to listen to everyone of my concerns, did all the research necessary and came prepared with a few strategies. He was very thorough at explaining what the worse case scenario would be and what we would have to do if that was the case. He was straight up and did set the right expectations. His arguments were strictly based on his knowledge of the law. Thanks to his expertise and soft skills, I was able to have this case hanging over my head for a long time dropped in a matter of minutes. I would definitely recommend him for hire in a heart beat.

I’ve known Bill for several years. He’s a great guy! I had the opportunity to use him as an attorney recently. His prices were very reasonable and he put a lot of effort into and did a great job for us. There was a lot of concerns I wasn’t aware of, and he handled them all with ease. We were gradually transferring ownership of my business over from myself to my general manager, I’ve had friends use Bill for other things and everybody has been extremely pleased . I highly recommend Bill Henry for any of your legal needs.

A family member recently received two underage drinking citations within a few month period. The close proximity of the charges threatened to leave a permanent record that could be a burden to the client's reputation and advancement for years. In this somewhat unusual case, Bill Henry proposed a creative solution to the Court that was accepted and ultimately resulted in the complete dismissal and expungement of all charges. Bill's ongoing timely communication to multiple Maryland state officials and to us, his clients, was exemplary. We were continuously updated by phone, email, and in personal meetings, as to the status of all proceedings. We felt that we were receiving the care and expert service that clients with much larger cases (and budgets for legal services) might expect. Bill is an attentive, articulate problem-solver whose energetic attention to the details of the case was remarkable -- and he handled every aspect personally, never delegating even basic administrative tasks to others.
As a young person, the client required an attorney who could not only handle the legal tasks, but could be reassuring and encouraging through this frightening brush with the legal system.
We will engage Bill Henry, if future needs arise, and will highly recommend him. We want to express our gratitude for Bill's hard work and his steady commitment to his client.

I have worked with mr Henry twice on two different cases. The first was my fathers estate
It was a very sticky mess and required knowledge of all different aspects with properties under water and extreme debt. However mr Henry handled the estate well and everything worked out so well. He gave the best advice and broke down all the legal jargon for me to better understand my options. The second was my own will he did it for my husband and I and did a great job. Of course it was done well and fast! He is a great lawyer and person. I highly recommend him.

Rene Sandler is truly the best lawyer that a person can have by their side. Rene is smart, incredibly prepared and commands respect in the courtroom. My case went to trial and Rene was able to secure a not guilty verdict from a jury!! Rene kept me advised of all aspects of my case and worked with me so that I could effectively assist in my defense. She explained everything to me and was genuine and compassionate in her handling of my case. Rene is one of a kind and I am so lucky to have found her.

As soon as I came in for my consultation with Carlos I knew I came to the right attorney. Throughout my case he kept me very well informed of the status of my case. He worked very hard to bring my case to a resolution before my hearing. My case went from a felony charge to a minor misdemeanor of disorderly conduct, that was later expunged. If you have any criminal charges don't waste your time go to Carlos Salvado.

I contacted Ms. Demougeot to help my father and I with a criminal defense case in 2017. From the start, she understood that we were all very much on edge about the situation and she took the time to calm us down. She walked us through the process and was honest and straightforward with us about each step, but - most importantly- she fought very hard for us. My father does not speak English, and having a lawyer able to switch back and forth between Spanish and English to make him feel comfortable was invaluable. She has a powerful presence in the courtroom and her dedication to us - her clients - reassured both my father and myself. She's truly an excellent attorney and I know she'd be the first person I would call if I ever needed a lawyer again.

Doug Coggins has been my attorney for over 5 years. Doug was highly recommended to me when I learned that my attorney of several decades had announced retirement. I have turned to Doug for representation, counsel and advice for general corporate, contract, and real estate law. I have found his work to be of the highest quality and his advice to be invaluable.
Based upon my 40-plus years experience as both a small business owner and real estate investor, I can without reservation recommend Doug Coggins.

Let me start by saying that if it had not of been for Doug Coggins, my career and future welfare could very well be jeopardized. A little while ago I got into some trouble with the Montgomery County PD and received some fairly serious criminal traffic charges. I had never been in this situation before and had no idea where to start. I met Doug under the referral of my parents and after my first visit, I immediately began to feel better. He told me that based on my past record which was pretty clean considering what I was facing and my decent sense personal integrity, the outcome of my case had a very good chance of being favorable. However, he made sure that he did not give me a false sense of hope and reminded me that I was always at the mercy of the court and that he would do everything in his power to help me. Sure enough a few weeks later Doug came through ten-fold. After our initial meeting, he met with the states attorney and was able to negotiate a deal which entailed that my more serious charges would be dismissed if I agreed to perform 24 hours of community service. I met with Doug one more time after that to discuss the details regarding my community service and how it affected my charges specifically. Following that meeting we went to court where Doug and the states attorney presented the details of our agreement before the judge and asked for an extension so that I could complete my community service. I kept in touch with Doug via e-mail letting him know when my community service was done, and a few months later we went back to court and essentially sealed the deal. The serious charges were dismissed, and the points were dropped on the less serious ones pending that I paid the fines. Doug's proficiency and courtroom demeanor were impressive to say the least and I hardly had to tell the judge anything which was very reassuring since I knew he was on top of it. I highly recommend Doug Coggins to anyone who finds themselves in a situation where they need professional guidance and someone who has their back.

I hired Howard right off the bat due to his reputable background on criminal and traffic cases. My experience with Howard was more than I expected, he has ALL the good qualities you want in a lawyer. Howard Cheris got me off the charge before the scheduled court hearing. Don’t think twice, if you want great results, this is your go to guy!

I retained Howard Cheris for a complex legal matter in Montgomery County, MD. Starting with the initial consultation Howard cleared his desk and was very attentive to both my needs and my case. Although it was clear to me that Howard was a busy, successful attorney I felt like I was his most important client. As the case progressed there were numerous intricate details and positions that needed to be formed and clarified. I found Howard’s grasp of the issues and knowledge of the law to be second to none and was further impressed by his detailed preparation prior to attending court.
It was kind of strange when Howard began role paying with me before the hearing but then I realized he was preparing me for possible questions that might have been asked by the judge, prosecutor or witnesses. Genius!
My case went to a hearing and, needless to say, we won the case! I would not hesitate to reach out to Howard again in the future and happily refer him to friends and colleagues for cases of all flavors.

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.
