I cannot recommend Ari S. Lieberman highly enough! From our very first consultation, I felt confident in his expertise and dedication. He took the time to listen to my concerns, answer all my questions, and guide me through every step of the legal process. His professionalism and attention to detail was evident throughout my case. I was particularly impressed with how he communicated complex legal terms in a way that was easy to understand. It made a stressful situation much more manageable. Thanks to Ari's hard work and strategic approach, I achieved a favorable outcome. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and committed attorney, look no further than Ari. I’m incredibly grateful for his support! After more than 1 year of receiving his initial services he has remained responsive with any questions I've had. Thanks, Ari for your expertise and availability!

I cannot recommend Allenby Law enough for their outstanding work on my estate planning. Attorney Dawn Allenby and her assistant Naomi Arana demonstrated exceptional professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail throughout the entire process. They guided me through creating my revocable living trust, Will, health directive, and power of attorney with patience and clarity, ensuring every aspect was addressed thoroughly. They took special care to include all my properties, such as my townhouse in San Diego and my home in Oklahoma, in my estate planning portfolio. Their meticulous efforts have given me a comprehensive and well-organized plan, providing the peace of mind I need. I now feel confident that when the time comes, my family will know exactly what steps to take without facing any unnecessary financial burdens. Dawn and Naomi’s dedication, expertise, and commitment to their clients’ needs truly set them apart. If you’re seeking top-notch legal assistance for your estate planning, look no further than Allenby Law. I am so grateful for their excellent service!

I highly recommend Allenby Estate Planning. They made the entire process seamless and stress-free, expertly guiding us through the process, including handling unique business and property interests that wouldn't have fit a cookie-cutter approach. Dawn provided a clear roadmap, setting expectations at each step, making everything easy. She also focuses on a plan for the long term, ensuring everything stays up-to-date and well-managed well into the future. Professional, attentive, and detail-oriented – a pleasure to work with!

I have been attempting to write this review for Stephanie for 3 months, Everytime I write it I delete it because I don’t think it’s good enough. This review was long past due but To the individual that may be facing any type of legal troubles from the bottom of my heart this is THE lawyer that you want on your side. At the age of 21, I faced 20 years in prison for a crime I did not commit. Stephanie is the definition of top-tier no words can describe how grateful I am for Stephanie and her team. She not only got my case dismissed, but she gave me my life back, for 2 1/2 years I was stuck in South Korea my command didn’t allow me to take leave. When I told Stephanie she dropped everything and went above and beyond, Steph personally told the government they better allow me to take leave to see my family. THE SAME DAY! They granted me 45 days of leave & when I came back I received a call from Stephanie, yelling with joy “ they are dropping all the charges “. Stephanie is that lawyer you see in movies who always wins, even when you feel like something isn’t going right Stephanie is always in control. Not only did the government lawyers respect her, the judge respected her , the Commanding General respected her and knew her name. So all I can say is thank you Stephanie and if you’re someone who truly needs help this is your lawyer ! Stephanie told me I was her second longest case that she ever had but one thing I can always guarantee about Stephanie is she never lacks when it comes to communication anything you wanna know anything you should know she will let you know Stephanie is an open book she tells you how it is she’s not gonna lie to you or waste your time. From the bottom of my heart thank you Stephanie !

I hired Logan to help me with a criminal case and am very glad I did. He helped me through the entire legal process, clearly explained every step to me so I knew what to prepare and what to expect. Logan is very knowledgeable and professional. Since it was my first time in court, it was a great relief to have someone with you who can explain to you in common language what it going on and the options available. He helped me get the best outcome in my case and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney.

I found myself in a horrible situation that required the best lawyer possible. My lead lawyer, Logan Noblin, was just that. From my first contact with the firm to the very end, Logan and the firm were there for me 100%. Better yet, this firm's team of lawyers are involved with all cases to collectively work on getting the best result. Communication during my 2 year case was outstanding. They make great use of there client portal. Also, this made providing and receiving documents to the firm very easy. Another great quality of Logan is his caring demeanor. He really put my mind at ease throughout the case. A huge thanks to Logan and his team!

From the beginning of my husbands case they were honest, dedicated and truly cared for the well being of all parties involved. I would hire his team again in a heart beat and recommend Mr. Cortez and Ms. Valentine to any of my friends or family members in need of a lawyer. If you want a team who will fight for you and your case, this is definitely the firm to hire to get you results! I can't thank Mr. Cotez and Ms. Valentine enough for all their hard work and loyalty they showed my family during one of the hardest year we've ever had to go through.

I have had the opportunity to do some business with Mr. Kanter recently, in another capacity and still believe him to be fair and to fight for his clients to the best of his and their ability. I have given his name to others who are looking for an attorney and would call him again, if I needed an attorney. Mr. Kanter does not forget his clients when the case has concluded.

This was one of the best experiences I have had with a lawyer in my life. Ricardo is clear, polite, and very professional. He always returned my calls and often reached out to ask if I had further questions. The staff is also very understanding of my many limitations regarding technology and offered to help whenever they could. You can also tell that the staff constantly communicates with the lawyers about your case, which is very important. I am so happy I found this Law office. My previous experience with immigration lawyers in this city was not the best, and I was very scared to reach out, but I am glad I did.

After struggling to get an initial consult without being charged hundreds of dollars, I finally got proper attention to focus on my problem. However, once into the meeting, the head of the firm constantly answered his phone and left the room, which was unprofessional and rude. He then brought in an inexperienced attorney that came wrong advice on multiple legal issues. I ended up losing faith in their ability to take care things, so I am taking my business elsewhere after all this wasted time. I expected more professionalism and competence from this firm.

ERTZ Law stepped in to help a close family friend with a very unusual legal problem. It was a hybrid of family law, estate law, and ended up with a conservator issue. We hired Tanya for the family matter but kept the firm on through the whole process even though it wasn't their area. Tanya and Abby were so helpful and communicative even when it went way outside of family law. We appreciate everything they did for us.

She did our will--took longer than expected, and we had to follow up with her several times to get status updates. I called her on 8/10 to do a simple legal name change, and she took over a month to start the process, then hasn't responded to any emails since then. I called to follow up on 9/22, and she told me everything would be filed by the end of the week...and nothing. Just called back, and was told yet again that she was unavailable and they had no updates.

Mr Farzad was very responsive immediately, he offered me help and explained my possibilities when unfortunately I was full of fear and also did not know my rights in marriage and in the country, since I am also an immigrant and English is not my first language. From the beginning Peter was very professional, understanding and patient, there were times when I was falling apart emotionally and felt that I could not continue with the process anymore and Peter always had a huge patience and words of encouragement for me to keep going. Peter does his job with great professionalism but also with empathy towards his clients, he is very good at fighting for what is fair, thus showing great ethics and commitment. I am very happy with the results, Peter fought and worked on every detail of the case and did not let himself be intimidated by the other party at any time. I infinitely appreciate all his help and I would not hesitate to recommend them or go to them again in the future if I need legal help. Thank you very much!

SDPD wasn't giving up they wanted to take away my license, but Isaac wasn't giving up either. While other lawyers were telling me that I was going to lose my license and have some fines. SDPD set a court date and a DMV hearing, the DA didn't file on the first date and Isaac had the case dismissed the second time around. He also got me off on the DMV hearing, A very experienced lawyer that knows what he's doing, don't think twice about hiring Isaac very serious about his work and clients. I would definitely hire Isaac again; this could have affected me badly if I didn't hire Isaac.......

I had an unfortunate situation where an Uber driver hit me and then falsely accused me of assaulting him. Despite trying to explain my innocence to the responding officer, I found myself needing legal help to clear my name. That’s when I got in contact with Sydney Rusch, and what a relief that was. From the start, Sydney and David put me at ease, walking me through their plan with confidence and clarity. Sydney's proactive approach was impressive—she answered my questions before I even had to ask. It was reassuring to feel like I had a dedicated team genuinely looking out for my best interests. When the court date arrived, Sydney gave an outstanding performance, fighting hard on my behalf. The result? Everything was dismissed and thrown out of court. Sydney Rusch is an incredible lawyer, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. If you need someone in your corner, she’s the one to call.

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.
