Rex was very thorough and reassuring. I was afraid of the whole idea let alone the process of filling for bankruptcy. After going through the consultation I was relieved that it wasn’t as tedious as I had anticipated. His knowledge of the process gave me the confidence I needed to go forward with my decision. His roadmap to my needed documentation made the whole process seamless. He’s very efficient and I recommend him 10/10.

Where do I even begin? My case was incredibly complex and had initially been handled by a different firm. It was later referred to Jose due to its challenges. From the very first day, Jose ensured that I was fully informed and up to date with every step of the process. He was honest, transparent, and communicative—qualities that were lacking with the previous firm. Despite the complexities of my case, Jose made everything smooth and easy to understand. He is truly invested in his clients' success and well-being, showing a deep understanding of personal responsibilities. On top of all that, he's just a pleasure to talk to. Additionally, his staff was always welcoming and supportive, making the entire experience even better.

Scott has been very helpful, reassuring and informative. He was quick to answer when I first contacted him. He’s been there to answer any questions or concerns that I’ve had through this process. He’s explained everything very thoroughly and always prepared me for the next steps. He was able to get me the best outcome I could have hoped for. I’m glad I chose him to be my attorney and if I ever need an attorney again, I know who to call.

As an immigration lawyer I do not handle criminal cases, so when one of my clients got arrested in Orange County, California I needed to help my client to find the very best criminal defense attorney. I reached out to the people I trust in the area and they recommended Attorney Thomas. Scott Thomas is a force to be reckoned with, shortly after my client hired him, the case was dismissed!! In other words, the best possible results! I strongly recommend this lawyer to my fellow attorneys as well as anyone in Southern California looking for a lawyer that gets results. I have been practicing law for about 10 years so it is difficult to impress me but the Law Office of Scott C. Thomas gets a 10/10 and I will definitely be recommending them to all my California clients!!

Mr. Abrams was just simply amazing. He worked fast, was very honest, and most importantly he was incredibly caring! He makes you feel like family unlike Most attorneys that are rude and just want your money only to do the do the bare minimum. But but not him, he even helps work with you on price. Incredibly fair! Mr.Abrams is worth so much more than what he charges. He went above and beyond for my husbands criminal case and we got the BEST outcome! 24 counts dropped to 4, facing 5-6 yrs and got him NO prison or jail time!! YES! Mr.Abrams did that!! Hands down best attorney you will ever hire! There are not enough words to describe how amazing Mr.Abrams truly is, or the gratitude we have for him. Simply the best.

I interviewed several attorneys to represent me but none could give me such a detailed and knowledgeable explanation of the process I had to go thru. especially when it comes to handling professionally licensed defendants. Levon was very compassionate and spent so much time on explaining and calming me down that he probably well exceeded the fee he charged me which was already much lower than other attorneys wanted to charge me. Even just talking to Levon made me feel better. He was more than an attorney but also a friend during this terrible nightmare I went thru. He clearly updated me at every court date and every step and answered all my questions in a clear in concise manner no matter how many questions I had. Levon has very important skill that not ll attorneys have-he knows how to talk. And finally what mattered the most was the result: after a roller coaster ride with DA's and prosecutors and after numerous court dates my case was finally dismissed! If you come across Levon's name during you attorney search don't think twice to hire him! He is smily the best!

Anthony settled a case for me in December of 2015 from an unfortunate accident in a retail store and a fair settlement was had. I had been going through a very difficult time in my life for many reasons involving many issues and I am ashamed to admit now I was not an easy client and Anthony could have let me go a few times but his understanding to my personal issues and Anthony having compassion for others was able to get me through the process as we had some difficult issues in my case at times which proved frustrating for both of us but Anthony was professional on all accounts.

I was in serious trouble for the first time in my life. I was facing a felony charge of DUI with injuries and high BAC. I knew I needed a special lawyer, so I asked a friend with more experience hiring lawyers for help. He asked several of his own lawyers who they would recommend. Ron Brower was the one lawyer that the other lawyers recommended. It is hard to state just how grateful I am for the representation I received from Mr. Brower. Both he and his paralegal, Ellie Pulliam, took care of everything. I was informed every step of the way. I felt that they truly cared about my case and were always available to answer any question I had. Despite the unbelievable stress of my situation, it was comforting to know I was in such good hands. Mr. Brower was able to work with the D.A. on my case and reduce the charges from felony DUI (which included jail) to a straightforward DUI. I honestly do not believe another lawyer would have been able to do that for me. I am forever grateful to Mr. Brower. He is a uniquely gifted lawyer that other lawyers recommend. I highly recommend his services.

My son was facing a very serious case and had contacted a couple of Orange County area attorneys. Neither attorney inspired confidence. A friend of mine recommended I call Ron Brower. After the first meeting with Ron I knew he was an exceptional attorney with decades of experience, and I retained him for my son’s case. Ron’s assistant attorney Salvatore Ciulla, also very experienced, guided my son through the legal proceedings with compassion and legal skill. Ron’s patience and timing during the process was impressive and the result was the best of all possible outcomes! I highly recommend Ronald Brower as an outstanding defense attorney.

I have had the pleasure of working with Moises Aguilar and staff for well over a year. Sadly my son was involved in a criminal case matter. As you can imagine as a single parent it was very scary and emotional. I had never been involved in something like this before. I came across Moises and called his office. He was professional from day 1 educating me on steps to take asking many questions along the way and out for our best interest. Moises was able to explain every step in the process always acting and speaking with integrity. Even setting expectations on good and bad news however I always walked away from court trusting Moises. My last year had been a total nightmare no parent would want to go though. I found not only one of the best attorneys in OC to represent my son but a positive outcome on something that could have resulted in a much worse manner. I know he did his best always available, I can highly recommend Moises Aguilar. It is hard to find good people with a good heart in this world and I know Mr. Aguilar has heart and is top notch. Thank you Moises and staff I will forever be grateful for all of your assistance and professional guidance.

I first met Maryam in 2013 while she worked diligently on a criminal case for my husband. She had truly been a Godsend to my family. Maryam went above and beyond to thoroughly represent my husband, she went as far as to obtain her notary license so that she could notarized an important document while my husband was incarcerated at MDC, LA. I could call on her and Maryam would be available. It gave me great peace of mind knowing that she was an attorney that actually cared about her clients. Maryam was honest with me and did not sugar-coat the severity of my husbands case. I felt safe and connected to her for her honesty. Tragically, my husband passed away in custody. I had not spoken to Maryam in well over a year (we ended up going with a public defender). I received a very heartfelt text from Maryam giving me her condolences and telling me how much she knew I loved my husband. A year and half later in 2016, I hired her to represent my minor daughter for a DUI. Again, I cannot tell how much she went above and beyond to represent thoroughly for my family. She works hard, she's honest and she has a heart that truly wants to help her clients and represent them in the best possible way. Maryam took the time to sit and meet with my daughter and offered her ear and help even beyond the court room. My daughter received probation and Maryam did her homework and was able to save me thousands ($25+K) of dollars in a falsified restitution claim. I could never thank Maryam enough for all that she has done for me and my family. My daughter is now off of probation thanks for Maryam. She is on a much better path and is expecting. I will say that I did not trust attorneys before. Maryam is an attorney that I literally trust with my life. She took the utmost care of my late husband and my daughter. She is very dear to my heart and I love her! THANK YOU MARYAM FOR EVERYTHING! Respectfully, Ursula

I had found Maryam Sharifi through a common aquantance and I will say I was very lucky to have been able to find a way to her. I had received a DUI charge that was pending as a felony and she did everything she could to save me jail time and bring it down to a misdemeanor. She had spoken with me dad and many occasions and went out of her way to keep him informed as well and she really got to know us had a genuine concern for my well being. She found a traffic school for me and made sure I kept up with any and all court assigned classes to make sure I got out of this okay. For a very long time I had a huge worry of going to jail and having to drop out of school and all that come with that; and Maryam has helped physically as well as mentally with all of that and I couldn't thank her enough. I highly recommend Maryam Sharifi if you have any kind of issues like I did.

Mr. Anderson was simply stellar. I had a justified but very challenging Lemon Law case - which scared away most of the other lemon lawyers I spoke with. Thankfully, one of those lawyers referred me to Anderson Law. I guess he has a reputation in the field for being able to win difficult cases. He definitely succeeded where most others were too afraid to even try. I would describe Mr. Anderson as thorough, precise, highly experienced, knowledgeable, articulate, intentional, intelligent, friendly, and very effective. I took great comfort in knowing that my case was being handled by someone whose expertise is off the charts. It is clear from working with him that his amazing track record is because he is that good, and not because he only takes the easy cases. I hope that I never get another lemon. But if I do, he will be my first phone call.

Martina is the best thing that's ever happened to me. After going back and forth on whether or not I needed a lawyer, I finally decided to make a few calls and speak with a few different attorneys. Martina right off the bat was the most informative, helpful and was the only one who seemed genuinely invested in helping. Most other attorneys I spoke with had a very cavalier attitude. She was very easy to get ahold of throughout the duration of my case, and consistently kept me in loop as to any changes/progress being made. I have never felt like someone worked harder for me in my entire life, and retaining her services is without a doubt the best decision I've ever made.

Martina is an excellent attorney. I hired Martina after receiving a misdemeanor citation in San Bernardino. Not only was she kind, helpful and very knowledgeable, Martina contacted the police department, court and District Attorney's Office even before the first court date. All criminal charges were dropped and I am so thankful to have chosen Martina as my attorney. Although, she can be more expensive than other attorneys, she was worth every penny. You will not regret hiring Martina.

I retained Ms. Silberman to represent me on a traffic matter. The first conversation with her assured me that I was likely in good hands. All court filings were very prompt, extenuating issue on evidence gathering were duly explored, adjustments for hearing dates were efficiently addressed, and the final court finds were in my favor. Ms. Silberman kept me well apprised of the status of my case during the course of her involvement and I felt well prepared and knowledgeable of all potential senarios.

I needed a lawyer to represent me in a case of a frivolous CPO brought against me. I had already engaged the representation of one of the "hot shot" lawyers on a well known firm who after charging me double the normal rate, was pressuring me to accept the CPO. I refused and sought another lawyer. Lora Silberman was recommended and everything changed. She was able to negotiate an out of court settlement and got the case vacated. This was very important from a professional point of view for me. I was extremely impressed by her focused representation of me and protecting my interests. I recommend her unreservedly. Thank you!

I cannot recommend Bryan Kazarian enough! He was absolutely phenomenal—everything he said he would do, he delivered on. Brian took care of all the details, handled court appearances with ease, and ultimately got my case dismissed. His professionalism, expertise, and dedication is on point. Honestly, I hope I never need a lawyer again, but if I do, I know exactly who to call. Thank you, Bryan, for making a stressful situation so much easier to navigate.

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.
