Roland was great! We needed a fast response when we got hit with a complaint of "theft by check." We had a legitimate dispute with this company, and Roland knew exactly what we needed to do to get this taken care of and dismissed. He was a fantastic communicator and thoughtful in all respects through the process.

I can't begin to tell you how amazing Roland was/is. He helped me dismiss two cases that, I feel, would not have been dismissed by many other criminal defense lawyers. To see him in action is truly a thing of beauty and he continued to blow me away throughout the entire trial process. I was lucky enough to come across his name from a teacher of his who said that Roland was easily one of his best students. Now you're lucky enough to read this review and also make the right decision in hiring him. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

We have used Mr. Gossen for several of our traffic violations over the last several years and every time he is quick and handles the situations better than I could have asked for. He is definitely our go-to attorney for our future needs and would recommend any friends or family to him as well!

Without getting into specifics about our daughter's particular case, Matthew combined the "needed" traits in our situation of being straight-forward and compassionate. Over a period of approximately nine months, he represented our daughter very well and ensured the best outcome for her future. He clearly had a thorough command of the law and knew how to work professionally and effectively in legal proceedings. Now with the matter resolved, our daughter is extremely grateful and embarking toward a promising future. One year ago, this was not even a sliver of hope. Matthew - thank you very much.

I had the pleasure of working with Holly for my personal injury case, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome. From the very beginning, Holly demonstrated a deep understanding of the law and showed genuine concern for my well-being. She was always available to answer my questions and provided clear, honest advice every step of the way. What impressed me most was her attention to detail and her determination to fight for the best possible outcome. Holly handled all the complexities of my case with professionalism and skill, ensuring that I was fully informed and comfortable with each decision. Her negotiation skills were exceptional, and she was able to secure a settlement that far exceeded my expectations. Throughout the entire process, Holly was compassionate, supportive, and truly committed to my case. I highly recommend Holly to anyone in need of a dedicated and knowledgeable personal injury lawyer. She turned a stressful situation into a manageable and ultimately positive experience. Thank you, Holly, for your hard work and for standing by my side!

Bradley Bellows was a wonderful, informative, and strong handed lawyer during my divorce matters. He was thorough, patient, strategic, and logical which can be hard in matters where emotions are high. Not only was I navigating a divorce case but also a criminal case against my ex husband and with Mr.Bellows advocacy and agency I was able to find a balance for my child’s wellbeing while also respecting my own autonomy in the matter. I will continue to refer him to friends and family alike looking for someone who is trustworthy, level headed and an advocate for sound minded law. Thank you for everything you did for my family! Forever grateful.

Bradley is an outstanding attorney, a consummate professional, and also a great guy. I’m personally very thankful for having been referred to him. He handled my divorce from start to finish and truly did excellent work. He’s patient and listens carefully to what you have to say, which is incredibly important in the attorney-client relationship. He’s also genuinely compassionate, which ultimately means that working with him is rewarding from both a personal and professional standpoint. In the end, and despite some fairly serious challenges, we were able to achieve a desirable result—and I’m now able to move forward with my life. If you’re in need of an attorney, I strongly recommend you reach out to Bradley. He won’t disappoint.

Kurt and his daughter Isabella were so nice and did so much for my husband and I. I contacted him on the weekend and left a message and he quickly called me back and worked on my case right away. We were hit by a hit and run and Kurt and his team were able to figure out by police reports who actually hit us, contacted the women's insurance, and was able to get us taken care of. We were put in such a bind and now we have been able to get ourselves out of debt and get right again. My husband is still awaiting he's settlement but it hasn't been long whatsoever.

This team worked hard for me and never let up on the state until we received an acceptable outcome, they saved my life and my livelihood and I am so grateful. Mr. Locke was extremely patient with me and understood the situation I faced as well as the importance of the outcome on my life, and in his absence Mr. Garcia made sure I understood every step of the process I was going through.

Being detained and taken into custody is an extremely traumatic experience. It's during those times that you need an experienced legal team to be by your side in court. For myself it came in the form of a 3 AM stop where I was soon sitting in a patrol car waiting to be transported to the magistrates; by the time I was allowed access to a phone there were only 2 numbers to call: my family to tell them I won't be home for supper and The Locke Law Group. Being tightly shackled in county lock up, surrounded by 80 other detainees is trying and exhausting; but even after a full 24-hour-no-sleep-detention, I knew the long day wouldn't be over until I spoke with Shannon on the phone. After some time, Shannon, Javier, and the team at the Locke Law Group were able to represent my side of things fully and got the case closed and dismissed. Let Shannon represent your interest and tell your side of the story. I'll tell you like I tell everyone: Shannon and the team will work to get you the best possible outcome and will navigate the stormy waters with you. The legal system is complicated, don't leave port without an experienced crew on your ship! The Locke Law Group helped to give me peace of mind that I wouldn't be alone in the fight during this and other struggles. ANYONE can get jammed up and in a pickle, and if it happens to you, and you believe you won’t get a fair shake, then please consider hiring The Locke Law Group! I highly recommend them to everyone in San Antonio and surrounding areas!

I strongly advise against hiring Peter Stanton if you value your time and money. My experience with him was nothing short of a nightmare. Despite his initial promises, he did absolutely nothing to advance my case. Instead, he consistently charged me exorbitant fees for minimal effort. One particularly egregious instance was when he billed me $350 for a 15-minute Zoom call. To add insult to injury, he charged an outrageous $175 to write a six-line letter, which he insisted on sending with my final check. To top it all off, he even managed to write my name wrong on the check! This attorney is a scammer and seems more interested in milking his clients for money than providing any real legal assistance. Save yourself the headache and find a competent and honest attorney elsewhere.

Expressing our most sincere and heartfelt THANK YOU for the most professional representation by The Law Office of Joseph “Mick” Aguilera. Mick, we will forever remain grateful for your dedication and commitment in and out of the courtroom in dealing with these complex cases. You stuck by our side these past couple of years even in times of our frustration and thin patience, yet you continued to work diligently to help achieve the best possible outcome. The amount of time I was facing for each of these cases was heavy and the reality of the court being in my favor seemed hopeless. But your expert knowledge, skills, and dedication to work in my defense allowed for a fresh clean start. And more importantly, MY FREEDOM! I admire your composure, work ethic and most of all excellent representation. Mick is the “man with the plan” -if you’re looking for an honest, fair, and competent criminal defense attorney. He’s proved his professionalism by staying committed to me as his client. And he has definitely earned my trust!

I am one who makes most of my purchases based on positive reviews and advice from friends and family. Mr. Aguilera's name came up several times when searching for a criminal attorney. I'm glad I called Joseph 'Mick' Aguilera's office because he expertly handled my case, getting my charge dropped. My boyfriend is in need of a criminal attorney now and I immediately called Mick. Had I known that Mick did bonds, I would've used him to bond my boyfriend out. We contacted Mick's office and my boyfriend and I met up with Mick, a few days later. Because his office is conveniently located on the outskirts of downtown, there is no fee for parking. There is parking directly in front and on the side of Mick's office. When we arrived, we pushed a button to confirm who we were, allowing us to enter the building . We discussed all the details of my boyfriend's arrest as well as the possible maximum penalty for his charges. We are just now in the beginning stages and hope and pray for a positive outcome. We feel confident knowing that Mr. Aguilera has 33 years of experience in criminal law and his familiarity with the judges and prosecutors in the Bexar County Courthouse. I will do a follow up review on the outcome of my boyfriend's case once this is over. On a side note, because there are other attorneys that work in Micks office, make it clear that you are there to do business with Mick and Mick only, you won't be disappointed.

I strongly advise against hiring Peter Stanton if you value your time and money. My experience with him was nothing short of a nightmare. Despite his initial promises, he did absolutely nothing to advance my case. Instead, he consistently charged me exorbitant fees for minimal effort. One particularly egregious instance was when he billed me $350 for a 15-minute Zoom call. To add insult to injury, he charged an outrageous $175 to write a six-line letter, which he insisted on sending with my final check. To top it all off, he even managed to write my name wrong on the check! This attorney is a scammer and seems more interested in milking his clients for money than providing any real legal assistance. Save yourself the headache and find a competent and honest attorney elsewhere.

Extremely Helpful in advising me on a complex situation before retainment. Walked me thru the basic legal steps and factually laid out logical steps and expectations. Very sincere and took time to speak on a Sunday evening. Highly recommend Brad Thornton's services if you come into a situation you did not ask for. I am confident he'd be accessible and available during a difficult and unwanted situation!

Velma did not do her homework prior to taking on a client. She proceeded to follow a legally separated woman and her new partner, put an illegal gps tracker on the partner's vehicle, and cause the woman to be revictimized as a former survivor of domestic violence and PTSD.

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.
