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.

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.

Ive been going through a lot and it’s overwhelming! I hired other lawyers and they did not show compassion, but the minute I met Matthew he showed compassion, professionalism, knowledge, and sincere genuine interest in the outcomes of my reality. When he moved to a different firm I followed because I knew that he had my family’s best interests at heart! Thank you Matthew for all you do! I appreciate you so very much!

I had the pleasure of working with Matthew Bell over the past 18 months, and I cannot recommend his services highly enough. From the start, Matthew's kindness, professionalism, and commitment to resolving my legal matters were evident. His focus on finding solutions rather than complicating the court process was a testament to his integrity and dedication.
Matthew's responsiveness and the competence of his Paralegal team, including his wife Diana, were invaluable. Diana’s assistance was not only professional but also incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Together, they navigated my case with the precision and care of true partners and advocates.
Simply put, Matthew and Diana are good people who make a genuine difference in their clients' lives. If you're looking for legal representation marked by high integrity and exceptional competency, I wholeheartedly recommend Matthew Bell and his team. Their dedication and expertise are truly outstanding.

Unexpectedly served by my son's father, I found myself in uncharted territory. At 3 am, I began searching for legal representation and discovered Josh Lucherini. Although his rates were surprisingly affordable, I was skeptical at first. Nevertheless, Josh demonstrated exceptional skill as an attorney, patiently guiding me through the legal process. His prompt responses to emails and willingness to address my concerns were impressive. We successfully negotiated a stipulation within four months. I appreciate Josh's dedication and expertise, and I won't hesitate to seek his services again or recommend him to others in similar situations.
Thank you!

I contacted the Ault Firm at the beginning of my divorce. I had already filed papers on my own and they reviewed them for me during our free consultation. They suggested I simply continue on that track, because I was doing well enough...But to call them if I needed them.
When I got cornered by the opposing party's legal counsel, Chris stepped in and handled my divorce case most professionally and with great courtesy. We had a brief court appearance, and the outcome, though divorce is never the desirable outcome, was the best that it could be.
I highly recommend Ault Legal.

Christopher was a very helpful attorney for my DUI case. He worked hard to have my charges reduced to Impaired Driving, allowing me to keep my license. The staff at Ault Legal were very friendly and helpful. I would certainly recommend Christopher to those in need of professional legal help.

I went through the worst experience of my life and Cory Wall was there every step of the way. He helped me through a terribly vicious and excruciating divorce to the extent I will not discuss here, but involved criminal courts, family courts, lawsuits, evaluators, trial and so much more. It would be safe to that Cory is an honorable attorney and an honorable human. Over several years time we corresponded through thousands (no exaggeration) of emails, dozens of hearings and long nights where we both emailed back and forth to get the job done to prep for court. He was respectful and sensitive to the demeaning and dehumanizing situation I was in for the divorce. He was strategic, he was kind where I needed to see humanity and he was striking in court when I needed him to be. Thank you Cory for putting up with my terrible case. Thank you Cory for being the guiding light when I needed one. Thank you for standing up for what was right. Thank you for having so much integrity. I will continue to refer people to your services.

Absolutely horrible to work with! I wouldn't recommend her to anyone! Charged me $10,000 for a simple fill in the blank protective order document that was only supposed to take just a couple hours to fill out. She filed this document with false information despite me asking her to fix the mistakes. She was belittling and bullying to me throughout the couple weeks I tried to use her. It was so bad that I told her that I was thinking of using someone else for my divorce, and she got upset and dropped me for the protective order case which I had a hearing for just a couple weeks later. I had to quickly try to scramble to find a new lawyer and ultimately lost my protective order after having to spend even more money to try to get a new lawyer up to speed and to try to fix her many mistakes. Absolutely a nightmare of an experience! Do NOT use her!

If you're at the beginning of your divorce process you're probably a little scared and looking for someone who can give you advice and who you can trust. At first Emily seemed like she was exactly that and during my free consultation with her she came across as someone who would fight for me and protect me. I hired her thinking she was a high powered attorney that would get the job done, but in the end all she ended up being for me was a high priced attorney who cared more about getting paid than protecting my best interests. With only an 18 month marriage and a full pre-nup in place I should have had a slam dunk case, but Emily consistently dropped the ball and got caught off guard by my ex-wife's pro-bono freshman lawyer's antics and it cost me dearly. Emily's response to me everytime I'd get screwed was "well it could be worse" and she'd quote some other case she was working on that was a lot costlier. I never felt like she was in control or knew what she was doing, her communication was spotty, and she was constantly charging me to fix her blunders. Ultimately I felt like she didn't really care about me as a client and had more important things to worry about. With that said, I gave her a couple of stars because I guess she could have been worse.

Emily strongly represented my interests and the interests of my minor child and even, ultimately, those of my young adult children. She listened to my goals, worked in accord with my ambitious timeline to dissolve the marriage and applied both her legal skills and social perceptiveness to critically examine the unique circumstances and identify weak spots in legal strategies. While no one could fully anticipate what the other side would do, Emily’s impeccable judgement, focus and professionalism reinforced my bargaining position and delivered a swift settlement that was better than expected.

I had the pleasure of working with Paul Grant, and I'm very happy with my experience. From the very beginning, Paul stood out as a genuine, caring individual who truly had my best interests at heart. He was incredibly attentive to every detail of my case, taking the time to thoroughly understand all aspects of the situation and ensuring that no stone was left unturned. His knowledge of the law and the court system is impressive.
Paul also made me feel supported throughout the process. I always felt like he was in my corner, working diligently and strategically to achieve the best possible outcome. His professionalism and compassion, made my situation much less stressful. Without going into the details of my case, Paul was able to get my charges dismissed.
I would highly recommend Paul Grant to anyone seeking a lawyer. His expertise, dedication, and genuine care for his clients are unmatched. If you want someone who will go above and beyond to ensure the best outcome, Paul is the one to call.

Even with a heavy workload, he comes well prepared to present arguments and to fight for his clients. He keeps clients informed, provides direction and advice as decisions are made. Most importantly, he knows the law.

Taylor Goldstein has made me whole. She believed in me when no one else ever had. My only goal in life has been to be a better person than I use to be. I’ve strived for it and did as much as I could on my own. Taylor Goldstein helped me clear the one last hurdle I couldn’t clear on my own. I now have a chance to provide for my wife and kids the kind of life they deserve. A chance is all I wanted and Taylor Goldstein got that for me. I will never be able to express the amount of appreciation I have for Them.

I grew up with a criminal defense attorney for a father and spent my first 18 years surrounded by lawyers and judges because of him. Good good people. The moment I talked to Kristin Wilson on the phone, it felt like home… knew we were in good hands and grateful to have met her. She helped us to navigate a frustrating situation and was incredibly responsive. I hope we never need an attorney again but if we did… I’d go to her and to this law firm!

I started an account here to help with an incorrect account that was posted to my credit belonging to somebody else. It’s been 3 months working with Lexington with no results. The account was only removed because I called the original creditor myself and they couldn’t locate or verify the account. I spent over a month trying to cancel my account and was sent in circles. I asked for an itemized receipt of services performed for the month of January which they could not provide however they’re still charging me for an additional month. Not worth the money at all.

Terrible lawyers only help who they want to help.

I strongly advise against hiring Emily Smoak as legal counsel. My experience was nothing short of a disaster. Throughout the case, Ms. Smoak relied on unfounded accusations rather than solid legal arguments, demonstrating a complete lack of preparation for the hearing.
During the proceedings, when the commissioner instructed her to draft the judgment on-site and obtain signatures before leaving the courthouse, she admitted that she didn’t have her laptop and requested to complete it later. The commissioner was visibly displeased but allowed it. A week later, when the order was finally drafted, it was riddled with errors. Despite multiple requests for updates and corrections, Ms. Smoak’s office failed to provide any response, and the incorrect order was ultimately filed.
After reading other reviews, it appears that this level of negligence is standard practice for this firm. If you are looking for an attorney who is prepared, responsive, and capable of handling your case properly, look elsewhere. Do not waste your time and money on representation that lacks both competence and accountability.

Walter represented me in a medical malpractice case. My wife and I immediately felt good about him. He was always professional and polite. He was really good about educating us on the situation and explaining things for us in a way that didn't feel condescending at all.
We settled the case before we went to trial and felt very good about everything Walter was able to do for us. We felt like he cared, and just overall was a very nice, genuine guy who was there to help us in matters we were not capable of doing ourselves. Walter called when he had questions about details to make sure he had it right, so he could be as prepared as possible. He worked very hard on my case and was very well educated in his field. I always felt 100% confident in him and I feel very thankful to him and the DKOW firm.

I paid her retainer fee, which wasn’t cheap. Never saw or heard from her again. She pawned me off at the last minute to one of her trainees, who knew nothing about my case on my court date. Then, when the sentencing day came, nobody showed up. I ended up using a public defender after all was said and done because I couldn’t get in contact with anyone from her office. Be wary.

Josie Brumfield is a knight in shining armor, though not the typical kind. Did you know that if a prosecutor breaks the law... commits "prosecutorial misconduct," that they expect to get away with it? Any lawyer who calls them out will have goodies withheld from them! They won't get good deals, their other clients will be punished and they will lose the "goodwill" of the prosecutor. I didn't know that, but Josie did. She still went and risked her future options for me and told the truth. My ex wife's powerful family from the FLDS cult tried to get me out of the way after my kids (who I have custody of) inherited some money. They were willing to lie (very well! Tears and folksy sayings and everything) and they got the poor prosecutor to believe them. In fact, he became willing to toss aside ethics (cause he thought I would be stuck with a public defender) and help my ex's family make up whole new stories. The judge just sat there. Josie's courage and knowledge of how things really work (it is NOT always fair, the system is NOT always just), to buy me almost 5 extra years to raise money for my defense and help my kids prepare if I get railroaded.
If you want someone who is not part of the old boys club, who doesn't play golf with the prosecutor and judge, and who doesn't think of your case as one card in her hand of clients... and whose instincts about how the system really works just might save your bacon, then look no further. She was extremely reasonable 5 years ago, I expect her reputation has grown but she is worth every cent you will pay.
Since I'm still under the gun I sign this anonymously, with regret.

*****As I have said in some of my other reviews "it is all about the service for me" Well Adam Nash and his legal assistants Vanesa and Fabiana understand what it means to provide great service. Adam is knowledgeable and doesn't treat you like just another #, he treats you like a human and is understanding and empathetic to your situation.
Another key quality that should not be understated is patience from both parties. I initially found myself guilty of being human and being impatient and wanting Rome to be built overnight. AKA having issues resolved instantly. But that is simply not reality. Adam was patient with my anxiousness, and he took the time and explained to trust the process. So, we took it step by step and it took some time (months or years if need be) But with each step we got closer to the end resolution that was desired to be obtained. I know firsthand other attorneys that charge an absorbent amount of money do not have this very quality.
Adam prides himself on approaching each issue in the same manner whether it be big or small. I will say that this form of consistency and diligence is a solid approach and as mentioned keeps you from being “just another number” as previously mentioned.
Adam is straightforward and shoots from the hip and is willing to listen and do what you both feel is in your best interest.
To summarize Adam gives a (bleep) He works hard and is willing to do what you both ultimately feel is best.

In 2018, I divorced my husband. The attorney messed up the paperwork, and I found that I had a mess on my hands. I hired Mr. Nemelka in 2020 to untangle things, and he did a fabulous job. My concerns were listened to and addressed. His advice was clear and spoke of years of experience. He was responsive, honest, and on top of everything. Things were taken care of with the court, and that was that... I thought. This year, I found myself needing a lawyer again due to reopened proceedings by my former husband. I again called Nemelka Law, and it has been resolved quickly and with minimal fuss. I would hire Steve again in a minute!

Beyond all of this, Steve is extremely nice and approachable. I had a great attorney and made a great friend.

Our car got impounded because we got pulled over for no reason in Wyoming. The police asked if we had money in the car and we said yes because we had some Target gift cards. They told us get out while they search our car. Next they brought in a police dog who sniffed all over the car and found a pair of scissors in the trunk. They said they had been used to cut marijuana. We are old Chinese people that have absolutely nothing to do with drugs. They impounded the car and took us to a local hotel. The sheriff himself took us to one and dropped us off. We had to get our family to drive from California to come get us. Now, after 2 years of making car payments this dirt bag lawyer and his investigator who are all good buds with the local courts agreed to keep our brand new car we had just bought. When we talked to this scumbag (look at his picture and you can tell) he lied and promised how he would get our car back. After spending $10,000 over the last two years we got nothing!!!

This case went on for well over a year with Wyoming Attorney. I fired him hired Ed Wall ( who practices in UT and WY). He came into case had it taking care of in a matter of oh.... 6 months. Reduced to one misdemeanor I ended up with 6 mo. Court probation and small fine and had to talk with a drug and alcohol counselor of my choice. Thank You Ed I really appreciate what you did for me. I hope I never have to use him again but if so I consider him my Attorney for life.

I have worked with Edwin S. Wall on Three occasions (not that I keep committing crimes, its all one) The first ended as it had too. The second, Federal case, Ed was able to get my case dismissed by a legal policy that has been in place for a long time. You just need the right attorney.

I spoke with on of their attorney's about a case I was facing for an initial consultation. While extremely knowledgeable, the attorney was prone to interrupting, misunderstanding, and not listening. I understand that this was a free consultation and that I was not a paying client but this interaction has made me refuse to consider this law firm in the future.

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.
