After a bicycle accident, I was new to the whole process of looking for a lawyer, and I’m so glad I found the San Diego Injury Law Center. From the moment I reached out, they were incredibly supportive and agreed to take on my case. They walked me through every step, making sure I understood the process and what to expect. Choosing them was the best decision I could have made—my case was resolved, and I can finally put the accident behind me. The entire team was amazing, keeping me informed throughout, and I received fair compensation. I highly recommend them to anyone dealing with a personal injury claim.

Mr Crowley is very knowledgeable about the law, very professional and patient. He listens and understands the problems. He finds a way out. He is not just about money like so many other lawyers. He cares. I am very lucky to have him as my attorney. He helped me and few members of my family in the best possible ways. Thank you Mr Crowley.

Very knowledgeable, pragmatic, realistic, and relatable. Mr. Crowley is very open and communicative with his potential clients during consultations, and is a competitor who does not yield. Mr. Crowley also is a staunch advocate for his clients and is willing to take the fight to his adversaries.

Abby knows what she is doing. Her team communicated well, they were so nice, and everything was taken care of quickly. I feel like I was heard and was treated as a human. I definitely recommend Abby and the Ertz Law Group!

I consulted with Abby when I was in a tough spot facing a divorce and restraining order. When a couple other lawyers pretty much dismissed me, Abby took the time to look at my case and point a way forward, and showed me a fighting spirit that I was lacking at the time. She's going to work for you and fight for you, and that's what you want when you're doing this.

Tanya is an amazing lawyer. She truly cares for her client’s well being. She lifted a big weight off my shoulders when she represented me for my child custody case. When I was unsure of something, Tanya always had the right answers and directed me in the right direction. If you’re looking for an attentive, caring, honest lawyer then call the Ertz Law Group, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Tanya!

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 !

Despite having a high BAC level during arrest, Mr. Friis was able to get me a “wet recklessness” plea deal. I would highly recommend Mr. Friis to anyone looking for a lawyer who ‘knows what he does’ to represent their case.

Laura Lindsay and the associates at pines & Solomon went above and beyond on my case to get me fair compensation. It took some time but was well worth the wait .My own insurance company was being less than fair and Laura litigated the situation to a more favorable outcome. I can’t speak highly enough of Laura and this firm.

Kayla Link and Pines Salomon LLC went far above and beyond our expectations in handling my daughter’s dog bite injury case. They were highly professional,guided us through every step of the process, kept us updated as the case progressed, and aggressively pursued every aspect of our case. Our expectations at the onset were to hopefully recover some of the medical expenses incurred by this injury. However, due to Kayla’s persistence and diligence we were able to secure a truly life changing settlement that was far beyond our expectations. My daughter is disabled and has special needs, and Kayla was also very helpful in assisting us in setting up a special needs trust for the settlement money and finding the appropriate agency for managing this trust. Kaya did a fantastic job throughout the entire process, and I would highly recommend her and the Pines Salomon firm to anyone needing personal injury representation

I can't say enough to the professionalism of Mellman and Mellman. From the very beginning, they were considerate and understanding of our situation. We had open and honest conversations regarding our case, through prompt phone calls and emails, which we deeply appreciated.
We are also extremely grateful to Ms.Sarah Shankel, Associate Attorney, who worked tirelessly for our family. She helped us to resolve our case in a fair manner. We will always, always be indebted to her.
So if you are looking for a law firm with heart and the desire for justice, call Mellman and Mellman. You will not be disappointed.

We are very happy to recommend TS and her firm to anyone needing assistance in obtaining a Green Card or U.S. Visa. They were very professional in their handling of our case and clearly explained the process, timeline and what was required of us. They provided frequent updates and answered all our questions, which there were many as this process was entirely new to us. I think we may have even asked the same questions numerous times until we finally understood, LOL. The commission for their services is very reasonable. We wouldn’t have been able to secure the Green Card without their help and we wouldn’t recommend trying on your own.

Dacely was hired to represent me in a Federal incitement case that I was involved in. I was facing 16 years in prison. My mental and physical health was in jeopardy due to the stress of the case. She literally saved my life. I thought there was no light at the end of the tunnel. I was extremely stressed out and did not understand the process of legal proceedings. She explained to me every step of the process and what was to be expected in terms I could understand. She always showed compassion and patience with me. Her professionalism and knowledge of the law gave me the confidence I needed to stay strong for the 24 months leading up to the sentencing. I was so impressed with her determination to seek the fair justice that I truly deserved. She went above and beyond any expectations that I could have ever imagined. She took the time to update me on any new developments with my case as it was progressing. Furthermore, she exhausted every avenue to find the best solution to win my case. Only 1% of all Federal cases like mine have a favorable outcome. Dacely fought hard for me and was able to get my sentence reduced to one year of home confinement, with probation to follow. I literally would not have been able to write this review if I was not represented by Dacely. Thanks to her, I was given the opportunity to regain my freedom and turn my life around. There are no words to express my gratitude toward her. She never stopped fighting for and believing in me until the very end.

Ever since Vikram passed away about a month and half ago, I only received one call and that was letting me know Vikram had passed away. And someone new would be charge of my case. I had court today 3/28/2022. No one was there to represent me. Prior to my court for more then a week I would call the office to speak to somebody. No one would return my call. I had a good experience with Vikram. But someone was supposed to be in charge of my case after him passing.. I payed alot of money for what so no one could represent me.. Thank God I spoke to a Public Defender and told them mu situation while I was there at court thinking someone would represent me. The public Defender took over the case. And got my case Dismissed. I think I should be allowed a refund of my continuance fee .

This attorney charged me $7500 to represent my interest if a R.O, against my son I wanted removed as I did not put it on. Instead she sold me out and had my son removed to a rehab facility , did not mention the removal of the order without even telling me. She did that to help the prosecutor. It lead to disastrous results to my son leading to his death and the destruction of my family. I hired her the next day in shock at her behavior so criminal. Do not be fooled she does not know who her client is and will she rip you off also OF Course.

As a result of a moment of extremely poor judgment, I made the worst mistake of my life. I was arrested for a felony DUI with bodily injury and was facing severe consequences leaving me feeling terrified, hopeless and alone. I reached out to another attorney friend out of state to ask for some advice and they referred me to Cole, saying “He’s the guy other attorneys go to if they have a problem”.
From my first meeting with Cole, I knew he was the guy for the job and I walked away feeling like a weight had been lifted off my back. Cole treated me with dignity and was a great support throughout the legal process. Through the 7 month process from citation to the case being settled, Cole and his team provided stellar legal council. For the entire duration I felt well informed as to the progress in my case and he and his team counseled me in the process and we’re always realistic with managing expectations. It is easy to see why Cole is so respected in his field. In the end, Cole was able to get my charges reduced and avoid any issues with my professional license.
I truly cannot express how highly I would recommend Cole and his team. They truly went above and beyond to ensure we received the best possible results and I will forever be grateful for his expert representation.

I have never filed for bankruptcy and Lennie Alzate and John Varley were very helpful. Thanks to them, I received the result I was needing and wanting; I was issued a discharge on my chapter 7 case. They were friendly, knowledgable and efficient throughout the entire start to end process. I even felt prepared with possible questions and answers for my court hearing. They made my experience painless as possible and they delivered what was promised. I am forever grateful for them.

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.
