I recently had the pleasure of consulting with Sylvia Cavasos regarding some serious charges of false claims made against me. From the outset, Sylvia's expertise was evident; she provided me with a thorough, confident consultation, outlining various strategies and options tailored to my specific situation. Sylvia's knowledge of the law was not only comprehensive but also communicated in a manner that was clear and reassuring. Her ability to navigate complex legal landscapes with such professionalism made all the difference during a challenging time. She listened attentively to my concerns, offering insightful advice that was both actionable and reassuring. Her approach to my case was marked by an exceptional level of expertise and a genuine commitment to her clients' well-being. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend Sylvia Cavasos to anyone in need of legal counsel. Her dedication to her clients is truly commendable, and I look forward to potentially working with her again in the future. Thank you, Sylvia, for your exceptional service and support.

Jennifer Locke did the worst job representing me. There was very little communication with her during the process and when she did contact me she was yelling at me. She told me she couldn’t request items like split costs for extracurricular, life insurance, college funds, etc. She told me I couldn’t request to put in MSA yo have contact with grandparents after death. She pushed me to drop all 2 yrs of back pay and give in to extended visitation. And refused to fight for medical and psych custody, even though my ex hadn’t been in my kids lives for 2 years. It has been 2 years and I have learned from other attorneys what she did was so wrong. She just wanted the money with no work to represent me. She once put me on hold and didn’t realize I could hear her conversation with my ex’s lawyer and she was acting as if they were friends. I was told I would receive an official copy of my decree and I never received it. Only an email copy. Please please stay away.

Thanks to Mr, Locke's, my husband is out of jail . I hired him on Tuesday he went over the case with me, he told me with $2,000 he would have his MTR lifted an a bond set , with in 36 hours he did exactly what he said he was gonna do an by the following Tuesday my husband was home.. due to the over conpacity of the jail that's why it took as long as it did for him to be released. Thank you so much Mr, Locke' your a man of your word I will definitely be referring you to anyone in need of a fantastic lawyer ..

I wish I could say nice and positive things about Ms.Locke and her paralegal Alisha. My whole experience was waiting for answers, direction and disappointment. Always conflicting and misleading information. I never felt secure in the information I was given and when meditation came it was more of a reunion and when time came to talk about my needs it was "standard" for mom and dad to have this and that rather than looking at the best interest of the child as they kept stating and his special needs. In the end I was not fully happy with what I got and felt as if I was more of a payment check for them and went to the next. I would NOT RECOMMEND anyone to this law firm.

Locke Law Group - I was emotionally unfit to be able to provide myself the attention this matter required to be successful considering my innocents! They will be what you need when you need it. They will navigate a justice system for you when you feel like you’re drowning. They are always professional and courteous with excellent customer service. I highly recommend this law firm! When your life and everything you worked for is possibly going to be determined by our justice system you need the best representation available and Mr. Locke and his law firm provided me with the best! This is what you receive upon retaining their services. Words do not say enough for what Mr Locke provided me! Thank you so much!

Hired Mr. Zamora on two separate occasions. After my brother also used Mr. Zamora was facing 45 years but got off with 2. My outcomes were very good. The 2nd outcome I was facing time with a stubborn DA, we stuck to our guns and case was dismissed. Mr.Zamora is not only knowledgeable but also has high integrity. I definitely recommend Mr. Zamora as an attorney. 5 stars is an understatement. Mr. Zamora is also affordable and will work with you on payments to ensure you have the least amount of stress.

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!

The attorney doesn’t get back to you when you ask for the attorney to call you back. When I did finally speak to the attorney , he seemed to know little to nothing about my case. The paralegal was the one giving me updates since the attorney was never available. Unprofessional to say the least.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Absolutely THE problem when it comes to attorneys this day and age.(maybe it’s just with men). If you want a game where you're being strung along and billed forever playing the rollercoaster game with you and your children's life instead of evidence being presented in a costly/timely and empathetic manner THIS IS YOUR GUY. Mr. Bancroft, i just got off the phone with you where you hung up on me stating that I’m threatening you. Get over your ego and realize that your business as a practicing attourney needs realignment. I wrote you about a standing invoice you provided totaling to less than the amount that Ive paid to you months prior with no response. After speaking to your paralegal, then being transferred to your “billing dept.” and speaking to them I was provided with a newer invoice…..with newer charges, where whomever was working before had originally just simply “forgot to send me the invoice”….what a convenient coincidence. After speaking with her, I was transferred to you where I had a conversation with your ego. Well, from the little guy(s) down here Mr. Bancroft, do whats right and fabricating invoices to skip out on paying balances owed on any moneys paid to you for the services that you DID NOT PROVIDE are just not that. Client paid $1750 in retainer fees(half of your 3500 to get the case started) and had to chase said attourney down for enquiries with little to no communications outside of ones that were initiated by me/client, INCLUDING in person conversation with YOU where I unexpectedly paid a visit to your office in August after I could not successfully contact anyone and asked about a status of my case. You did not recall my case by name until we went to your office and you searched my name.(keep in mind, this is three months after contracting). Attourney invoicing per attourney-client portals all state work for balance of $753, with latest payment from client being $631 in October.(this never happened, only payment made was the initial one and didn't make another due to subpar and in my opinion MALPRACTICAL, I'm aware that isn't an official word, service). After a few months of calling and majorly being placed on hold, back and forth’s with promises of returned calls or motions with paralegals, multiples of them and finally being frustrated with the reality of paying an attourney and not being fought for……while fighting a vindictive situation with my children as a GREAT DAD I asked for an explanation stating that if I did not hear anything as ai had been I wanted to discontinue services and be refunded via message inside of the client portal, I THEN was given a response…..but not with accountability, not with a plan of action, not to communicate any valuable evidence or structured plan of action, but to speak downward of me on the “dismal” months of non-payment……….ultimately this attourney demanded I paid him his past due amount, in addition to totals for mediations that hadn't even been had yet to avoid him WITHDRAWING. Needless to say I attended the mediation PRO SE, paid the mediator directly. I’m now on maximum state mandated child support and standard visitation for the children I equally raised because the relationship did not work out with their mother…finally divorced none the less. All of the evidence in the world to fight that good fight never presented, never saw a represented court setting, money just wasted and thank GOD I demanded a standard or it could have been MUCH MUCH worse financially. Contracted with this attourney on 5/24/2024….attourney withdrew as of 11/5/2024, yet they have still attempted to withdraw payment from my bank as of latest, 12/19/2024…….this was my SECOND attourney over a course of what I recall as a 3 year nightmare……I can confidently say, this is whats wrong with the family law system! Will edit with photo documentation when I have time.

My wife and I had to deal with CPS so we hired Valerie to represent us, and we are so happy we did! She laid out a plan, kept us in the loop, and got us through the case with a favorable outcome. Well worth the money! Thank you so much!

I recently had the pleasure of consulting with Sylvia Cavasos regarding some serious charges of false claims made against me. From the outset, Sylvia's expertise was evident; she provided me with a thorough, confident consultation, outlining various strategies and options tailored to my specific situation. Sylvia's knowledge of the law was not only comprehensive but also communicated in a manner that was clear and reassuring. Her ability to navigate complex legal landscapes with such professionalism made all the difference during a challenging time. She listened attentively to my concerns, offering insightful advice that was both actionable and reassuring. Her approach to my case was marked by an exceptional level of expertise and a genuine commitment to her clients' well-being. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend Sylvia Cavasos to anyone in need of legal counsel. Her dedication to her clients is truly commendable, and I look forward to potentially working with her again in the future. Thank you, Sylvia, for your exceptional service and support.

Matt helped me with a family law case 5+ years ago. I was very happy with the results of that case. Recently, I needed some help dealing with the Bexar county clerk since I don't live in the area. I reached out to his office and spoke to his wife, Lisa. She was very kind and willing to help me. Within just a few hours she resolved a matter that I had spent over a week trying to figure out. I am super grateful. If you want someone who is going to be honest and work hard for you while making sure you're doing what's best for your child, I can confidently say that Matt and Lisa are someone you can count on. They are fair and reasonable. They can help you stay level headed when emotions are running high. Thank you both for all you do to help families.

Her professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication really stood out. She made sure I understood each step, answered all my questions promptly, and ensured that everything was taken care of quickly. I’am so grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a skilled and caring lawyer. Thank you, Attorney Aida Rojas-Moore for your outstanding work.

Kristine is hands down the best attorney I've worked with. Unlike other lawyers I've dealt with, Kristine really cares. She's not just doing a job; she puts her heart into it, and it shows. It's like she's tackling the case as if it were her own problem, paying attention to every little detail and nailing the argument. What really sets Kristine apart is how she combines her sharp mind with genuine kindness. She's super smart and on top of things, but also really takes the time to understand and accommodate your needs. It’s not every day you come across an attorney who actually takes a special interest in your case like it's something personal to them. Kristine's attention to detail was exemplary. She meticulously crafted the case, ensuring every aspect was thoroughly considered and eloquently presented. This level of dedication was not just limited to the legal strategy but extended to her interactions with me. Kristine's intelligence and caring nature shone through as she guided me through every step, accommodating my needs and paying special attention to the nuances of my situation. Her ability to connect on a human level, paired with her professional expertise, made my legal journey less daunting. It’s really rare to find an attorney who combines such personal warmth with professional competence. Kristine’s work not only yielded positive outcomes but also provided a sense of comfort and trust during the process. If you need someone who's not just all about the law but also about the people, Kristine's your go-to. she stands out as the best, a true gem in the legal profession. I'd recommend her in a heartbeat. She's more than just a lawyer; she's a real person who gets it, and that made all the difference for me.

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.
