I highly recommend Tylden Shaeffer for any legal needs. He is very knowledgeable and professional. His assistant Danica is also very kind. They both were patient, and understanding during our whole ordeal. Our case ended in dismissal as it should have. I am so thankful he fought for the truth and for my family. If I could give him 10 stars I would.

Diana and Juan were compassionate, hard-working and knowledgeable. No one wants to dissolve their family, but when you get to that point you need an attorney who can see through the emotional noise that you have and can advise you based on your future goals. WSM was that for me and I’m grateful for their expertise! You won’t regret the choice to come to WSM.

From the start of the case to the end of the case , Mr. Bloomquist stood in place for me which lifted the weight and worry of being incarcerated off my shoulders . I got results in a timely fashion. I believe his expertise as an ex prosecutor really helps, along with his experience as an attorney . I had a misdemeanor theft charge while on probation which kicked me into an MTR . He was able to get the misdemeanor theft charge thrown out and get me a satellite bond on the MTR, and also get the MTR remanded. now my life is back to normal . I recommend him 100%.

If I could 0 stars and still submit a review, I would. Attorney Diana Davalos is just in it for the money and doesn’t work for her clients as she promises. She seemed very competent & compassionate at the consultation and we felt comfortable paying her large retainer for what promised to be a difficult divorce & custody case because she had us so convinced that she would work hard for positive outcomes. Well that didn’t last long and she dropped the ball on critical tasks, didn’t respond to communications, didn’t provide copies of arrangements she made with opposing counsel and left my niece and her children in a worse situation than when she was hired. We quickly vetted this attorney before hiring her and found positive reviews. However, after frustrated beyond belief and looking into her reputation further, we’ve found other clients who experienced the same unprofessionalism from her. Ms. Davalos is inept and lacks any professional courtesy. Unfortunately our family learned that the hard way.

As someone who found themselves entangled in legal proceedings, I had the fortune of being represented by Attorney Sean Simpson. From the moment I enlisted his services, Mr. Simpson demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and a commitment to excellence that exceeded my expectations. Punctuality is a virtue often overlooked in the legal realm, yet Mr. Simpson embodied it effortlessly. He meticulously adhered to deadlines and ensured that every aspect of my case progressed seamlessly. His proactive approach to pushing along dates and expediting motions showcased his dedication to securing the best possible outcome for his clients. What truly set Attorney Simpson apart was his tireless advocacy on my behalf. Utilizing his vast legal expertise, he leveraged every available resource to bolster my defense. From tapping into his network of esteemed colleagues to liaising with probation officials, he left no stone unturned in his pursuit of justice. His strategic maneuvering and tenacity in utilizing all available legal assets undoubtedly contributed to the favorable resolution of my case. Communication is the cornerstone of any successful attorney-client relationship, and Mr. Simpson excelled in this regard. Throughout the entirety of my legal journey, he kept me informed and involved every step of the way. From promptly scheduling appointments to promptly addressing any concerns or queries, his unwavering commitment to keeping me informed instilled confidence and reassurance during a challenging time. Thanks to Attorney Sean Simpson’s exceptional legal acumen and unwavering dedication, my case was ultimately dismissed and thrown out, alleviating any lingering worries and allowing me to move forward with peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Simpson to anyone in need of top-tier legal representation. With him by your side, you can rest assured that your legal matters are in the most capable hands.

Never sign without a second opinion. When my freedom was on the line, I knew I needed more than just a court-appointed lawyer. Sean Simpson became my advocate, ensuring I wasn't just another case, but a person with responsibilities and loved ones. His consistent presence at every court date, coupled with unwavering confidence, made me feel supported throughout. Instead of facing a year behind bars, Sean secured just two months of jail time, a significant reduction from the two years of probation I was initially offered. His flexible payment plan made the legal process less burdensome. Thank you, Sean R. Simpson, for your dedication and compassion. - Glen Patrick Mosqueda

WIth Hector and his associates, i felt like family. They were always honest and just a phone call or email away to reassure me and tell me exactly how the case was going. The many years of experience resonated when they walked the halls and the courts of Bexar County, as everybody always greeted them like friends. There was never a rush to conclude my case as they slowly and manticulously worked to get me the best possible outcome. They never made any promises, but the outcome was better than I could have ever asked for. All businesses of San Antonio should be run like the offices of Hector Gonzales. My family truly thanks you!

Sam Lock & his staff came through for me in arguably the darkest year of my life. I had two grievous felony charges levied against me, and I had no idea how to advocate for myself or navigate the justice system. I had never been in any kind of trouble before. I never harmed or threatened ANYONE, butthe prosecutors were ready to throw the book at me. All I could think about was the potential of losing my career and abandoning my family to fend for themselves while I spent the next ten years in prison for a stupid mistake. Sam Lock listened to my side of the story. He advocated on my behalf before the court and helped me to navigate the situation step-by-step. A momentary lapse in judgement almost cost me my whole life, but Sam Lock fought for me & secured an outcome that was fair and gracious. I never served a single day of prison or probation. I have a second chance to live rightly and continue providing for my family. Sam is a straight-shooter. He's a reasonable man, and he was clear throughout the process on what I should expect. I never felt like he was overpromising or underdelivering on his word. Whenever my wife or I were totally stressed out, Sam would meet with us and answer questions which brought a lot of relief. His staff were very kind and professional, also. Sam's defense was worth every penny.

To say Mr. Featherston's representation was PHENOMENAL would be an injustice to his true personal and professional ethic because he is THE ATTORNEY you want on your side. Nothing short of COMPELLING in and out of the courtroom, I was fortunate and lucky enough to see Mr. Featherston handle my case and I was just blown away by how DETAILED and ATTENTIVE his approach to my legal situation was. I mean he just took the case from all angles and had an answer for any possibility that came our way. This case would change my life and perspective toward how real the world can get but Mr. Featherston & his legal counsel shielded me from what could have been a very different outcome. I am completely in awe of Robert Featherston as an attorney and as a great man. I wish him continued success in what is obviously a very remarkable and accomplished career. My best, Nathaniel Tristan.

Not only does she fight relentlessly for the best possible outcome, but she also goes the extra mile to ensure my peace of mind throughout my case which has been and continues to be extremely stressful. Her level of commitment and knowledge is unparalleled. No matter how many issues with the other party in my case have come up, she has never once left my side and fights for the truth.

Joseph Esparza saved my 18-year military career, but more importantly the dream of reuniting with my children! I am an officer in the USAF and hired Mr. Esparza as my Lead Defense Attorney when charged with serious crimes resulting from false accusations from my former spouse during a highly contentious divorce. I went to a General Courts Martial. Overall result: Full Acquittal!! If you are reading this, you too may be living this nightmare….there is light at the end of this tunnel, and Joseph Esparza will lead you there. I chose the word “lead” deliberately, versus “guide”, “get”, “show” etc. From the moment Mr. Esparza took my case, he took the role as if the Captain of a ship. He was empathetic to all my concerns, yet had the leadership to direct me when choices got tough. Perpetually confident from his decades of experience , he could “read the waves” and knew precisely which direction to go before anything became an issue. He also led the military counterpart to my defense team (who was exceptional). When I first met with Mr. Esparza, I said “I think you are the right guy for the job”, and his response was, “Oh, absolutely I am the right guy”. Not in a conceited way, but a humbly confident way. Joseph answers emails, texts, and phone calls promptly. He never gave me the impression he was too busy to hear my concerns. Even with my family, who were not technically his “clients” he promptly answered. Joseph was by my side through an investigation, preferral of charges, an Article 32 Hearing, referral of charges, and a General Courts Martial. Overall time, about 9 months. Steadfast the entire time. If you are seeking the absolute best legal counsel, whether military or civilian, LOOK NO FURTHER! Mr. Esparza is worth every dime….a drop in the bucket vs. what you stand to lose. I am willing to speak with you personally if Mr. Esparza desires to give you my contact information. I’d take any opportunity to brag about his expertise more.

I am incredibly grateful for the assistance Mr. Godon provided to my son regarding his speeding ticket. From our initial consultation to the final resolution, Mr. Gordon was professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. They clearly explained the legal process and the available options, ensuring my son understood everything. He diligently worked to achieve a favorable outcome, minimizing the impact of the ticket. I highly recommend Mr. Gordon to anyone seeking competent and reliable legal representation for traffic violations.

I first met with Mr. Gordon in 2015. He was quick to return my calls, spoke to me with such ease and struck me as a very kind and approachable person. His staff was efficient and always courteous. I hired him and he took care of things just as he said he would and for the amount he quoted me. A couple years later I reached out to him regarding a misdemeanor issue with my son, he not only called me back after I texted him, he counseled me at no charge. He's like an Angel on my shoulder.

Mr. Gross was referred over to me and my family with an impeccable resume and from day one he went above and beyond. When I was in a position with no where to turn, no idea of where to start, and trying to find out how to prove my innocence, Mr. Gross was there to help. Michael carefully and diligently walked through everything with me and my family, leaving no stone un-turned. Like a pragmatic doctor, Mr. Gross told me the truth and prepared me and my family for all possible outcomes as the justice system is extremely challenging, timely, and can be unpredictible BUT he did everything in his power to fight for my freedom, innocence and justice! My case was extremely tough on me mentally and emotionally and Michael made sure that I was taking care of my mental health as well as checking in, providing updates and being proactive. He was extremely easy to reach and was very welcoming to my family and their involvement. Words cannot acocunt for the tireless and amount of effort Mr. Gross put into my case. He truly gave me hope for a better future, that there are people that do fight for justice, and helped give me my life back. If you, a friend, or family member is in any legal need do not hesitate to call and contact Michael Gross! He will be the best representation you will ever have! He is the best decision I have ever made in life and I will forever be grateful to him.

I had the privilege of having Dr. Baez represent my husband on a parole revocation case. I must say his dedication to his clients is unparalleled. From the moment I sought his counsel, it was evident that he was not just another attorney, but a fierce advocate for justice. He leaves no stone unturned in pursuit of the best possible outcome. We achieved a favorable resolution in our case. I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone in need of legal representation. If you’re looking for a lawyer who will fight tirelessly for your rights, look no further than Dr. Baez, he is a champion for justice.

Dr. Baez has been an invaluable gift from God! We connected through my family that know him personally from church. Dr. Baez has provided me with a fatherly-guidance since the first day we met. A true mentor with an extensive understanding of Biblical teachings that always appear customized for you specifically. I have been reminded by Dr. Baez what a true Man of God says and does in daily life once again. To say that this man is a stellar lawyer truly does not do him justice. His approach to each case displays a surgical precision like no other! Dr. Baez will forever be in my family prayers. We are truly grateful for this Warrior of God to be a part of our lives! Thank you, Dr. Baez, for everything you have done for me and my family!

I can't say enough good things about Bryan Orihel! Bryan recently represented me in a trespassing case where I was wrongfully arrested, and I’m thrilled to say he got it completely dismissed. From start to finish, Bryan was professional, attentive, and incredibly skilled. He took the time to truly understand my case and kept me informed every step of the way. His knowledge of the law and attention to detail were beyond impressive. What really stood out to me was how much he genuinely cared about my situation and fought for the best possible outcome. Thanks to Bryan, a stressful chapter in my life is behind me, and I couldn't be more grateful. If you’re looking for a lawyer who’s not only great at what they do but also has your back 100%, Bryan Orihel is the one to call. Highly recommend!

If I could give a 10-star review, I would. I was facing a very delicate case and wasn’t feeling confident with my previous attorney. I decided to contact Shawn Brown Law Firm and met with Attorney Daphne Pereti. Her experience and confidence immediately gave me peace of mind. Thanks to her efforts, my case was dismissed. I highly recommend this firm, but most importantly, Daphne. Her dedication shows and is the epitome of “Actions speak louder than words.” This was the best investment I’ve ever made. I cannot thank Daphne and Aaron or recommend them enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
