While waiting to see if I would be charged on false allegations made by my daughter against me (together with her lesbian lover), I had a couple of other criminal attorneys representing me pre-filing who were taking a wait and see approach--not a good idea. My child welfare attorney told me to hire Greg. I did. Greg delivered. Big time!

I hired Mr. Ferbreche to handle my husbands criminal cases. I had spoken to a couple of other lawyers in my search for the right one for us and after the first consultation with Greg Ferbrache I knew he was the one. He was extremely knowledgeable in the law and after he had a couple of days with our case he knew the case well and started working to get us the very best outcome possible. In the end the case closed much better than we expected. While the case was going on he responded to our calls and text in a timely manner and answered our questions in simple terms so we could fully understand everything. He was in tune to our personal needs to get things resolved so we could get back to our lives again. We are both very pleased with the outcome and would hire Mr. Ferbrache again if ever the need arose.

Brad Anderson fought my DUI case. All of the evidence pointed to my guilt. There were extenuating circumstances. I believe that he was able to convey this to the Judge in a manner that granted the most leniency the courts could allow. His expertise and passion for my defense saved me thousands of dollars! I am so grateful to have found an attorney who fought for me with heart!

Attorney Frank Berardi is by far the only lawyer that I’ve sat with ion all my years of having to deal with with the task of finding an attorney hoping that money will be spent wisely instead of throwing it away. To actually be able to sit and listen to someone with almost three decades of experience was quite calming and less stressful. The quoted prices were more than half the price of anyone in a 35 mile radius.
Frank Berardi will be the one who I refer if I hear of anyone in need of an attorney.

We hired Nathan Crane in December of 2018 during one of the most difficult times in our lives. His credentials alone were impressive, but even more important was his approachability and tenacity. Nathan was always available to take our calls, keep us updated & answer, over and over, our many questions. He was more than thorough and did, what we think, EVERYTHING to give us the best outcome Never having gone through the process of hiring an attorney or dealing with the law in this capacity, he patiently helped us through this time with kindness, wisdom and guidance. We would more than endorse him. Our family will always be grateful for what he has done for us.

I hired Mr Gregersen to help me with a bankruptcy. From the first contact from
his office, through to my case in court today, he and his staff have not only been professional but also caring and thoughtful. I never got communication that was snarky or short; it was always informative and friendly. They walked me through every step, even including a short role-play right before court to make sure I wasn’t too nervous to function. They spent as much time with me as was necessary and I never felt rushed or abandoned as we went through the process.

She was my lawyer when I was In jail and I was in a very delicate situation. I have an eternal amount of respect for her because she is extremely professional. Colleen gives everyone tons of respect and defends with lots of character, she displays a priority to make peace with oneself and the community. I felt as if I was stuck, and immediately upon meeting her I felt important. I knew the true intentions of everything. Even though at times I may have gotten confused, Colleen was an enormous blessing because she taught me. It was always important for her to show me to keep a positive learning composure. While I began to see only problems, she kept showing me solutions. Quickly, I knew that I was going towards good things and I learned that I needed to do my part. Colleen and her agency helped me to see how to grow. I am only keeping my best mood and behavior, working with my best intentions to aspire great things for all of the community. I am sure I will never be in trouble again, I am at peace with myself and I am eager to keep building healthy relationships with everyone as possible. Thank you so much Colleen! And also I passed my case and I passed probation and my record is completely clean. I must say I was truly very blessed.

Mr. Johnson represented myself in a family law matter. The entire process from start to finish took a little over one year and the process was pretty pricey, but.... it was worth every penny. Mr. Johnson was amazing at keeping me informed and talking with me prior to making decisions. Each and every time we were in court he continued to amaze me at how knowledgeable and powerful he was. He is truly a very skilled attorney; in my opinion, I would say the best.
Mr. Johnson always made me feel like I was his most important client and always responded to my calls/emails immediately. By the end of the trial Mr. Johnson and I had built a relationship that I never thought possible with an attorney. He always had my best interests in mind and went out of his way to make sure my requests were fulfilled. Mr. Johnson has changed my life so dramatically and for the best. I do not know where I would be today with out him.
In the instance that myself or a family/friend should need legal help in the future I would not hesitate to call Mr. Johnson first. Randy if you are reading this I just want to say I apologize it took me so long to write this review, but I am so very grateful for all of your help. My son & I have since the trial built am amazing life together that would not have been possible without you. I can not say thank you enough.

Matthew was a lifesaver in all senses of the word. He helped me keep afloat during one of the most difficult and stressful periods of my life. He's smart, savvy, kind and patient. He know what he's doing, and was on top of everything every step of the way. After my divorce was finalized, he offered to close out my account, but I asked if he could just keep it open and hold on to my retainer for a bit longer as my ex keeps doing stuff where it has been so helpful to be able to send Matthew a question or concern I have, and he has guided me each time. His competence made my ex's counsel look like it was their first day on the job. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Matthew. I will always be grateful, and always refer anyone who is in need of his services directly to him.

I've had the pleasure to work with Matthew Bell when he worked for a different practice. So when I needed more legal help I sought him out specifically. I highly recommend him. He helps me understand what exactly is going on and what my options are. He is considerate of my unique needs. Maybe I have just been fortunate and I've never been "doomed" legally, But every time I've ever spoken to him I felt confident I would reach a good outcome. And I believe I always have.

I’m very fortunate and so very grateful I was able to cross paths with Brad! I randomly met him as I was sizing him up as one of my next customers as I am in sales and I had just knocked on his door to pitch and sale him new replacement Windows for his entire home. After a great conversation and finding out we have a close mutual friend, I put 2 n 2 together and realized he was the highly touted lawyer my/our friend had been telling me about previous to me and Brad meeting. So long story short I now realize why he was so highly recommended because it was a great success having him represent me because he was upfront and honest about what he could do to help my situation and what we needed to do to execute it! I’m happy to say I have a lawyer if I ever need one again. Hopefully I don’t haha, but if I do I’m using Brad Anderson Law!

Phil represented my boyfriend in a criminal justice case today. Phil remained his composure and elloquence throughout the entire proceedings. I honestly felt as though Phil had a greater grasp on the law than the judge did himself. There were many times during the hearing that things felt unjust or bias in favor of the prosecution and the entire process was disheartening to say the least. Phil remained positive and professional so that each rebuttal made was well received by the jury despite many odds being stacked against him. His intelligence and proficiency in the law was uncanny. Ultimately he was able to convince the jury to find my boyfriend “not guilty” and words can’t express the gratitude I have for all of Phil’s dedication to the case. At times Phil’s silence was unsettling, but rest assured, it is because he is calculating his next move and hyperfocusing on the most pressing tasks at hand. I would highly recommend Phil for anyone seeking proficient council in matters of the law. Thank you, Phil.

What can I say, Jarom was the best, most attentive, hard working attorney I have ever met. Communication throughout the whole process was amazing all times of the day. Quick to react to emails, calls, messages and more importantly to get the job done.
Being a non USA citizen we could’ve hit many obstacles which Jarom managed to navigate around exceptionally for the months that proceeded and followed, which ultimately resulted in the case being DISMISSED.
I've also never dealt with a professional more committed to my reassurance and guidance, while also in a timely manner. Thank you Jarom, for helping me navigate this process. I highly recommend Jarom for legal representation.
Can’t thank you enough!!!

This is the most dedicated team of criminal defense attorneys that I have seen. As a practicing lawyer, if I ever have a referral for a criminal defense attorney I direct them to Brown, Bradshaw, and Moffat, particularly Mike Holje. Mike is an excellent person and lawyer. You know that if you hire Mike to represent you, you will be getting his absolute best, no matter what the charge or evidence is. Mike is incredibly intelligent and is always looking for a theory to help his clients prevail. You absolutely cannot go wrong with Mike as your lawyer, or any lawyer at BBM.

I had an accident last year that wasn't my fault, and Siegfried & Jensen took my case. I couldn't be more satisfied with their service. From the beginning, they took the time to explain every detail of the process, ensuring I understood what to expect. They were always available to answer any questions I had, which gave me great peace of mind.
The entire process was incredibly easy. I only had to visit their office twice—once to sign the necessary papers and once to pick up my check. This level of efficiency meant I didn't have to constantly follow up; they took care of everything for me.
Special thanks to Zane and Ashlyn, who were always professional and kind. They handled all the details, from coordinating my physical therapy to ensuring I received the attention I needed. I highly recommend Siegfried & Jensen for anyone needing legal assistance after an accident. They made a stressful situation much more manageable.

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.
