I used Melanie for a traffic violation and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She was very responsive any time I messaged her on the portal and updated me regularly. What could have been a horrible situation was made better by using Melanie to represent me. I would recommend her without hesitation!

I have received legal counsel from Melanie Ellwanger for almost 2 years in several cases and I don’t know where I would be right now if I had not come across her and her Law Firm. From the very start she was dedicated to my cases and an integral part of my navigation through the Georgia Legal System as well an all-around genuine and understanding individual who holds zero prejudice, as you could imagine I’m not very proud of the mistakes I’ve made but not once did I feel embarrassed or ashamed as one might through lenses that other see them, she had my back 110% and tried her absolute best to get the best results and she delivers. She is known all around and regarded by her peers I have seen it firsthand in multiple occasions and if you hire her you will know you made the right decision. She’s has always been available and responded and guided me through everything I needed regarding my cases. Our hope is to never have to hire an attorney but if you happen to be in a circumstance where you do look no further Hire ME Law.

This was my first time ever getting a DUI, at 41 and with a CDL it was a BIG NO and a eye opener, but with the help of Sara Gheesling and her team from Lawson and Berry Attorneys at Law, my life and my situation definitely got handled, specially my DUI got reduced because I was instructed to do all my classes and community service ahead of time. This is and will be a once in a life time mistake for me and I’ve learned a lot from it, but the situation got handled in the most professional ways and I did not have to do much but follow simple instructions. With this being said, you can always count on them to do the job right.

Looked for multiple lawyers, after talking with two I found Sara. She is very professional and explains every step of the process in detail, guiding me through the process and doing everything. Had a DUI charge, she had got the charge dismissed due to Sara's knowledge of the law and extensive research into my case, best money I have ever spent, thank you so much Sara.

I was charged with a DUI and thanks to Sara, it got reduced to reckless driving because she told me exactly what I needed to do to make that happen. Hiring her was the best decision I’d ever made. - JRK

From our very first meeting, I thought Valerie would be an excellent choice for my divorce lawyer. I was right. She guided me through the entire process and provided helpful advice whenever I needed it. And I needed it a lot. She took her time to explain things so that I understood them clearly. All my questions were answered. When it came time to go to court, her preparation was excellent, she what questions to ask, and she got me a great outcome, even better than I thought would happen.

Valerie Sherman did a great job with my DUI case. She was always there with advice when I needed her and she was a great communicator with updates on my case. It's easy to see why she's considered an expert. I knew when I hired her and her firm they would help greatly, and they did. Happy and grateful to give 5 stars.

In my opinion attorney Valerie Sherman is pretty much perfect. Her focus on my case was admirable and her intelligence and experience made a great deal of difference. The communication was always precise and useful. I found her, her firm, and her staff to be utmost professionals and I would use them again and recommend them highly.

Bill Swank is an exceptionally compassionate and extremely competent litigation attorney who won what I thought was a hopeless and unjust case against me. He not only won my case but was successful in getting all fines and damages dismissed as well as saving my driving record! I cannot praise him highly enough!

I am so happy that I had Mr. Swank as my attorney. I received a ticket for an accident that was not my fault. There was not any contact with my car. The ticket was a civil and criminal matter. I called the right one to handle this case. Mr. Swank and his team were knowledgeable and took care of everything from gathering all the information and being stellar in the courtroom. We won our case and I received no points on my license. Mr. Swank cares and he will do his best to not only fight for your case, but he is patient and thorough in all that he does. I was a mess and scared because I am a teacher and was concerned about my license, but Mr. Swank took everything in account and did what was best. He would say trust me and this is not his first rodeo!! He is just the best and I thank God for him, his professionalism, and his awesome team. Thank you so much Mr. Swank.

I highly recommend Lisanne she’s absolutely awesome. She was there for me when i was at my worst in my life. I was pushed in a corner with my back against the wall facing a serious aggravate assault & i almost lost everything i worked so hard for until i met Lisanne. She made me feel so comfortable treated me like family she would always check in on me to make sure i wasn’t stressing about the situation. She told me to just relax & keep the criminal stuff with her & live my daily life. She worked so hard for me & my results were amazing. I know these lawyers get paid for what they do but i can honestly say she has her heart in it & she enjoys what she does. She has a passion for this i love her so much for helping me get back to my life with no record.

I had the bad luck of being in the right place at the wrong time! A total miscarriage of justice began on that major Holiday weekend (remember Holiday, no judge, no Bond) putting me in jail…a “scared straight-type experience”!! The recommendation of a close friend put The Don Turner Legal Team, of which Attorney Lisanne Edelman is a key player, in touch with my wife, and Don showed up at the earliest possible moment that the judicial system would allow. Don assured me he would do everything in his power to help me, and he immediately did. Don was a familiar face with a strong and solid reputation with the Magistrate & Prosecutor, and he secured my immediate release.
When I went to the law office, Don & Lisanne explained exactly what I had been charged with and we reviewed some scenarios, all while they reassured me that they truly believed the outcome would be favorable. In the months before my court date, if I had a question that one of the staff members couldn't answer, Lisanne would call me very quickly. Lisanne Edelman is a terrific attorney who doggedly pursues the issues to their ultimate favorable resolution! Don’s office staff, notably Ashley is a fantastic administrator, who “keeps all the plates spinning” in the office!!! Lisanne does everything to lessen the burden on you and help you deal with the obvious issues that are going on in your life. She was more than helpful, extremely polite, and very open-armed when it came to me having any questions at all. She went out of her way to make sure that I had all the information available to me when I needed it.
As the court dates become closer, I naturally became very nervous and Don & Lisanne told me to not worry. They reviewed all the evidence and felt good about potential outcomes. Inevitability, Lisanne contacted me to let me know the court date had finally been set. That’s when Lisanne went into 6th gear while continuously reassuring me! Don & Lisanne’s collective Judicial system experience and relationships resulted in the most favorable outcome possible for me! A potential travesty of justice was averted, and ALL because I had the Great fortune to have Lisanne Edelman on my Team watching my back!!
I would highly recommend Lisanne Edelman & The Don Turner Legal Team! I feel good talking with them, they listen to what I have to say, and first & foremost, I trust Lisanne & the Don Turner Legal Team!!
Their slogan really is Really true, they truly are “Dedicated to Serving Clients in an Extraordinary Manner”!
Lisanne, the words Thank You can’t express my gratitude adequately!

Lisanne was helpful and gave me multiple options to help me with my infraction. She was respectful of my time and her correspondence with me was professional and immediate. She worked with me to ensure that I felt comfortable and prepared to appear in court. Lissane is very knowledgeable and I would work with her again.

Daisy was a very capable, competent, knowledgeable, personable attorney who did a great job rectifying some problems created by a much less competent attorney. Daisy did a great job articulating the issues, formulating a strategy, answering our questions and working with other court personnel to achieve the desired results. We gained immense respect for Daisy and have no reservations about recommending her, she is first class.

Not sure where to begin... This is by far the most heartless, unethical attorney we ever worked with. Contacted this office several years ago due to an unfortunate case of wrongful charges by the local police. We were assured by Manal that once we pay the sum of $7500 upfront then we will be fully covered for any legal representation including court trial appearances, etc.
Our case turned out to be so minor and unworthy of prosecution that the district court simply dropped all the charges and therefore Manal had absolutely NOTHING to do or follow up. When we politely asked if a portion of our advance payment may be refunded given how there was NOTHING for the firm to do, we were given a very strong rejection. We accepted that as the price to be paid for our naivety but what really made the experience worse and even more painful than the wrongful police case was how this attorney didn't even bother with any follow up with the local district court to ensure clearance of records (the very bare minimum any attorney is supposed to do)!
Again, we had to be the one to remind the office that after 5 years we were still waiting for an update. Even then it took several more months before Manal bothered to pick up the phone and make any inquiries....I really do not know if this is typical of this office or perhaps such work is beyond their skill set.
We feel so ripped off by this attorney that we find ourself obligated to warn others..... Please do NOT make our mistake and provide any advance payments to this firm!!! This low profile "very inactive" attorney will happily accept your case and your money and then provide zero service in return!

I was shuffled around from person to person. Nobody really took care of my case. I was recommended to go to a chiropractor who they had never worked with and in hindsight was an absolute jerk and lied about my treatment and prognosis. I felt very little support from this law office and there is absolutely no way I would use them again.

My first two attorneys sent me to treatment (peachtree orthopedics, benchmark) only to get rejected twice. I called in and complained about the two attorneys. Now I'm on the third attorney and hopefully they don't send a 4th attorney. I finished treatment months ago and still haven't filled out a loss wage form.

Oren Ross & Associates LLC assisted my wife and I with estate planning. Oren was very professional and gave us a thorough overview of the process. He left no questions unanswered. Prior to speaking with Oren, we were not sure if a Living Trust was for us. We immediately felt comfortable about the Trust at the end of our consultation with Oren and started the process. Oren also gave us great rates compared to other law firms for the same type services. We were so thankful to Oren that we referred our son and his wife to use his services.

Mr. Ross has the unique ability to take what is normally a dry, uninteresting subject (estate planning) and make it easily understandable.
Having been thrust into the sudden position of executor upon my husband's untimely death, I can assure you that there are definite "pitfalls" that can cost you untold time and expense unless you are able to strategically plan for them.
While websites that offer boilerplate wills online my appear attractively cost-effective, for the everyday person, they will NEVER replace a professional attorney with hands-on experience in this field.
I found Mr. Ross knowledgeable, competent, and willing to patiently answer any questions or concerns in a timely manner. His ratings from past clients were stellar, and his fees were extremely reasonable. The whole process from personal meeting for info collection, to estate plan execution was streamlined into just a couple of weeks.
The confidence and peace of mind that come from knowing that your final wishes are at last written out in a simplified, easy to understand, legally binding document is undeniably freeing.

Hired Martin on two separate occasions regarding family law matters - divorce and child custody matter. The initial matter went extremely well and both parties found a workable solution. Unfortunately, sometime after resolving initial matter, I had to re-engage Martin regarding an adjustment in custody arrangements. And consistently provided efficient and sage advice on all matters. I strongly recommend.
One must also consider he works diligently and efficiently with his support team. Thus, his fees are reasonable and holistically worth every penny.

Martin without a doubt is the most impressive attorney that I have ever met. I separated from the military several years back, and had a very difficult time adjusting to civilian life. I had issues with DUI, reckless driving and speeding. Martin not only helped me with my legal matters but completely eliminated them. Not to say I wasn't accountable for my actions, but I was represented in such a a way that I felt confident leaving the courtroom with my head held high. I have turned to Martin several times since my initial consult and he has made me feel as if I am his only client. Everyone in his office was more than helpful in my time of trouble. I would recommend Martin, and anyone at Charlton & Glover, for all of your legal needs.

After paying a 10k retainer for my divorce, this attorney did nothing for me. I caught him in several lies and eventually had to fire him. I couldnt help but to think that somehow this was my fault, because, after all, HE is the legal professional, and knows what he is doing. Right? Wrong! I picked up my "file" from his office and took it to my new attorney. She said, "This is it???? Where is everything???" I had no idea how bad it was until I saw my new attorney go to work. She handled my case in a matter of WEEKS, not months or years, and earned every penny of her retainer. She actually got me more than what I thought I would get. After mediation, the opposing counsel even remarked that this attorney did absolutely nothing for me. I think it is only fair to end this review on a positive note. This attorney did refund a small amount of my money after I complained. Maybe he knew deep down that he fell short.

Save your Money And Time!!!
If I can Rate 0 I would, worst Abogado ever the paralegals there never respond to phone calls or emails or messages so I have no choice but to come in unannounced and every time Mariam our paralegal never has appointments and is able to attend us yet she can’t answer calls or emails… okay… and when I go she loves to promise everything is okay and asks to bring in Countless numbers of all types of paper work
it’s been 2 years now yet they are quick to ask for payment but they cannot even communicate. It’s insulting when I have to come in and be told that I should call for appointment. Truly pathetic service. Unprofessional. I did tell Mariam about my concerns but she always has an excuse
Lady just take accountability and do better

Expectativa vs Realidad
Comento la realidad que hemos vivido con Daniel Ortiz Law Office
Basados en una referencia se contrato los servicios del Abogado Daniel Ortiz y definitivamente no fue ni es buena, al contrario, considero que no hubo el profesionalismo que amerito el caso, básicamente el caso se trató de obtener la residencia para mi hermana, desde el inicio Daniel indicó que aplicaba al 100% y la probabilidad de éxito es alta.
La falta de asistencia legal al caso de mi hermana por parte de Daniel fue notable, a ello sumo la falta de seriedad de su palabra al establecer y mucho más al cumplir acuerdos que hemos quedado, ejemplo, se solicitó que nos muestre el borrador de respuesta para la apelación al caso de mi hermana, les comento que hasta el día de hoy no hizo, la falta de oportunidad y seriedad de Daniel motivo a que migracion rechace el pedido solicitado.
Creo que cada caso es un mundo diferente y sobre todo al cliente se debe tratar con la prolijidad que es, no evadirlos ni mucho menos cumplir la palabra.
Tengo una mala experiencia con el abogado que hemos citado y no puedo dar buenas referencias más puedo decir mi malestar del tiempo perdido, las expectativas no cumplidas por Daniel y el dinero que hemos invertido.
Su profesionalismo deja mucho por desear para nada recomendable

Patience is a virtue. Covid created excessive delay problems for all concerned. Communication with all lawyers is meh...slow and at times non existent, BUT Olga did everything she promised and agreed to. Be patient stick to the plan, let them work.
Family Court case won outright !
Criminal Court Case dismissed !
Things didn't always go exactly as hoped but still ended with 100% success.

I hired Olga back in 2018, Olga is the best lawyer that she can be. Her dedication, her loyalty, her understanding, and her means to MAKE A WAY OUT OF NO WAY. She is not only a great lawyer but she is a great caring person in her personal life. Olga has answered many of my calls non related to my case, we have spent hours on the phone and even at times she would uplift me when need to be. Not many lawyers will do that! A lot of lawyers do their job have no connection to you and are there for a paycheck, Olga & Mr. Sabbak are not those lawyers. One thing Olga will do is TRY and she will do her best! That is all a lawyer can do. Her dedication and determination to help her clients is what I like about her the most. She fights for what’s right! My case has taken 3 long years because the other defendant has lawyers who are fixers and love to drag the case out and Olga has not given up on me nor my case ever and that’s another thing I like about her! While other lawyers will get tired, Olga puts in work, figures out what can be done. She communicates things with me well and is bluntly HONEST, she doesn’t tell me what I want to hear, she tells me what I need to hear! While other lawyers may give up on you when things get hard or difficult, Olga and Mr. Sabbak do not. That will forever be appreciated no matter the outcome of the case because all you can ever do in life is TRY.

I have to say that I really dont have alot of experience with Attorneys, never really needed one but when my son got in trouble she was recommended and we went with her. The first meeting she was great.... After that it was all down hill. I could have done what she did and not have to pay any money. I understand that everyone has problems but then you give the case to someone else....Now this was years ago but I seriously have considered going to the GA Bar Association and reporting her.

I have used Mr. Murphy for years and he has handled several ordeals for me over the years. When Mr. Murphy was hungry and still not that big he was great. Suddenly he has outgrown his former clients and is now dealing with bigger clients. Mr. Murphy most recently handled my divorce scenario and boy did he get me stuck with a pitchfork. Knowing very well that my business was going under, he left me out to dry and got me hung with ridiculous child support payments. Then on top of that, he basically quit communicating with me altogether when I needed him to look into some modifications to make life somewhat manageable. Finally after a long period of avoiding my calls and or text messages, he sends me a reply that says that "I am no longer a viable client and to find a new attorney." Seriously??? What kind of attorney fires a paying client? It is unfortunate that Mr. Murphy is now too big in his career to take care of the little people that helped get him where he is today. I would not recommend him for any divorce matters at all. From what I hear, he is a decent attorney for bankruptcies but even then with the kind of service he provides you may be better off looking elsewhere.

I retained Mr Sabbak for two separate misdemeanor charges that were a decade old. I live in Florida now, so I had to rely on online reviews to help make a decision on which attorney to hire for my cases. I decided on Mr Sabbak because he seemed charismatic on the phone. The first case he was able toget resolved, but on the same conditions that were presented to me 11 years ago when I had no attorney. He did get a warrant recalled for me, but then pushed me towards a resolution that I said from the start I did not want and leveraged the fact that I was out of state to get me to agree to the terms (a stark contrast to what he said he could accomplish on the phone). He did however represent himself and me well for the 2 sentences he said while we were in court. The lack of integrity comes in on the second case. He stated that he could not enter into representation on my second case since I had never been arrested and it was just a warrant. Thus, I had to turn myself in and make first appearance so he could represent me. Upon surrendering myself and waiting for my first appearance court, my charges were dropped. Since I had only received representation in one case, and I retained Mr Sabbak for two cases, I asked for a partial refund upon my release since I had paid in full for two cases. Mr Sabbak said that our retainer was a "flat fee" which wasn't indicated in the retainer and non-refundable. I was VERY adamant about my dire financial situation through our communications and had to borrow money to be able to retain counsel. I never received a response from Mr sabbak after expressing dissatisfaction about the lack of refund. Like I said very little integrity, I would never reccomend such an attorney.

Daniel knows what he's doing. It doesn't make sense to pay hundreds more than you have to for a bankruptcy, especially because if you're filing for bankruptcy you obviously don't have hundreds to spare.
Daniel made the whole process easy & explained everything every step of the way. I highly recommend him for any bankruptcy.

Very professional and knowledgeable. Walked me through the bankruptcy process explaining procedures every step of the way (which was incredibly beneficial with my minimal knowledge of the process and repercussions of bankruptcy). Mr. Johnson was easily accessible via phone, email, and in person with a flexible schedule. He was present during all court proceedings and was supportive and a calming presence during a difficult time.

Handled my child custody case and helped reach a settlement out of court. While reaching a settlement he DISTINCLY told me via phone what the terms currently were between my ex and I. I asked him questions about what certain things in the contracts all meant. In the weeks following the court date I have come to learn that everything he told me WAS A LIE. My ex GOT EVERYTHING HE WANTED while I got NOTHING. Everything, from EVERY Saturday and Sunday visitations (he told me one weekend day once a week was what was agreed on), to lies about back due child support, to straight up fabrications about getting support for July the end of the month and again starting the first in August. Ever since that final court date he has not answered ANY of my calls, texts or emails, and meanwhile I am left thousands of dollars down, nothing to show for it, and my family life in shreds. He was the only lawyer that offered $1200 to represent us (everyone else was a $3000 retainer), so like a fool I chose him to represent us. It seemed he was tired of spending so much time on this case near the end of it. I feel completely duped to have trusted A LAWYER I PAID FOR to translate CONTRACTS AND DOCUMENTS FOR ME. Again, he LIED to me, told me what I wanted to hear, to be done with my case quicker. DO NOT USE THIS LAWYER.

I retained Whitney through another law firm she worked for in July 2021 to represent me with my first offense case to get expunged. I gave her the necessary paperwork she needed in order to represent me and my case. She put me on a payment plan to pay $200 since I couldn’t front the whole $2500 upfront. We did chat up until November 2021 (week before thanksgiving) and after that, communication stopped. I reached out to her in January 2022, then in March 2022. The first week of March 2022, I did pay off my payments. I emailed her and the law firm I hired her through, to let them know i did pay off my payments….still no response. I texted her cell phone, left voicemails, etc etc. still no responses. FINALLY, the beginning week of June 2022, she emails me from a brand new law firm email, saying she’s switched firms and she would like to set up a meeting. Cool..I told her I’m available anytime and have her number. Until this day, June 28th, 2022 I have not heard from Whitney Scherck. Now, I gotta save up money again to retain another attorney. I feel like I got scammed and now I gotta wait longer to become a RN because I have to get this expunged. I do not recommend this attorney to represent anyone. Do not give her your money, look elsewhere.

He took the very first offer from court got very angry at me when i said that I did noy like the deal, that I wanted him to go for something more reasonable pertaining to my case. if not wanted a Jury trial. he refused doing so. Judge even said i should go to a jury trial which he refused to represent me further. Did me really bad. Gets angry with clients that want him to do more.

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.
