I hired Stacey a few years back to help me with a certificate of rehabilitation. It took some time, but my case wasn't a slamdunk.
Eventually the courts granted my petition, i know for a fact, it was because of Stacey's hard work. I appreciate your aid in helping me clean my mess up!

I randomly found them online one day and it was a miracle. They made putting my past in the past where it belonged effortlessly and easy. They were with me the whole way through the long waiting process from the courts. Once I saw the good new that I don’t have to worry about my mistake along time ago would never come up again, I was very thankful and happy! I definitely recommend them and will consult with them again if I ever run to and problems…. I hope I don’t but you never know!

Findley and Rogers helped me get a new start in life. After I was denied by several other law firms over the years, these people helped me restore my civil rights. I definitely recommend this company to anyone who is done being denied employment and social opportunities because of simple mistakes made in the past.
Thank you Findley and Rogers for all you have done to give me part of my life back.

Amy Jones with Herrmann Law Group was absolutely amazing! She was forthright and honest, completely helpful with my case. I wouldn’t have been able to get the settlement without all of her hard work. I would recommend Herrmann Law Group and Amy Jones anytime!

It was great working with Ms. Amy Jones.
I explained about my accident and injury at first in my primitive English, she was very sympathetic and really feeling for me. I just left all to her, didn’t have to do anything. She explained very well at each step of how my case was taken care of and proceeded.I can see she is very trustful and detail oriented.
This is the second time I hired a lawyer for a car accident. She worked very hard for my settlement and the result was outstanding and I could not believe what I heard. I am very lucky that I was introduced to her by my chiropractitioner. I felt finally released from anxiety for future and resentment that I got from the accident.
Thank you so much, Amy and Herman Law Group! I definitely recommend them as the prestigious law firm in WA since 1950

I am beyond amazed at how I have been treated at Herman Law Group. I worked with Frank, Paige Lee, and Amber. They went above and beyond for me and my case. Frank answered a lot of my questions personally which I really appreciated. I needed extra hand holding and ensuring after my accident due to my decrease in my mental health. Paige and Amber helped me with getting some odds end things taken care of in a timely fashion. Pagie and Teresa really help me with getting my funds after some struggles that were outside their control and worked to find a solution and stayed in amazing communication during the process. I feel so blessed to have this team behind me during the most stressful time in my life. I am happy to end this chapter and move forward.
Thank you so much for all the hard work and dedication that was given to me.

Jennifer Cannon-Unione provided top-notch representation to a relative of mine in a personal injury case with catastrophic injuries. The legal and medical issues were complex . Jennifer understood them and navigated them expertly. She chose the right experts to assist. She was always available when we needed her, and answered all of our questions. She is compassionate and patient. I am an attorney in another state and have high standards for other attorneys. Jennifer sets the bar very high and I would recommend her to anyone.

I will always be profoundly grateful for the competent, truly capable and professional care that Jennifer and her team have shown me. Not only did she represent me every step of the way but she went above and beyond in offering ongoing support and sincere compassion to me in my recovery from a terrible motor vehicle accident. I not only consider her a true professional but a trusted friend who will have your back and not let you down. Jennifer’s knowledge and experience are I believe truly the best in the field and her practice in the Seattle area is one of the strongest you can find. If you have had a prior negative experience with a lawyer, you can be reassured that your case will be held to the highest standards from start to completion and your concerns treated with the attention that they deserve. I have only words of appreciation for Jennifer and her team and will always be thankful that I somehow found her as a referral from a friend of a friend. You need not look any further in your search for a wise and caring lawyer where you will be treated with respect and kindness. You can place your trust in her and her team and be rest assured that you will have the most knowledgeable and competent advice, ongoing support, and the best positive outcome that is humanly possible.

My brother was forced into a guardianship by these people. The Guardian Ad Litum completely ignored the revised laws of 2020 that state Guardianship is to be the least restrictive measures with individual preferance as the most important focus. The Guardian Ad Litum instead marked every box to strip my brother of all his civil liberties taking extreme measures to ensure my brother would never be able to live independantly again...my brother did not deserve the Guardian Ad Litums attack upon all his civil liberties thaf reduced him to a dog basically. Shr alsi did nothing to protect him she reduced him to a vegetable with a stroke of a pen...she probably is a volunteer for the court who has no formal education about guardianship and real intent. But here lies the true problem the attorney with FoxBallard even told my family it was futile nothing could be done to stop this nightmare ...this firm is nothing more than a parasitic nusiance of greed that benefits by inflicting suffering on vulerable adults who the legal system should protect not exploit!

I recently found myself in a very challenging situation when someone I had only met briefly (about 30 minutes in total) during a work interaction filed a completely baseless protection order against me. This individual was going through a severe mental health crisis, which unfortunately led them to take this drastic and unjustified action. To make things even more stressful, I was on the opposite side of the country when this happened.
Thankfully, I had Sarah Kohan by my side. From the outset, Sarah was amazing. She clearly explained what the protection order meant, what my legal options were, and what steps we needed to take to defend against it. Sarah was thorough and thoughtful in gathering evidence to support my case, and once she posted the evidence, the petitioner quickly withdrew the petition, knowing it would be dismissed.
Sarah’s expertise, compassion, and professionalism were exactly what I needed during this difficult time. She handled everything with care and precision, ensuring that I was fully informed and supported every step of the way. I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate. If you need a skilled and dedicated attorney, I highly recommend Sarah Kohan.

Julia is meticulous. She requires patience. She is not the type of attorney to flatter you with fancy words and will give you the cold hard truth. I watched her fight me for tooth and nail in court in the most tactful and professional way utilizing her experience; to navigate all the different challenges my case presented. Julia will not tell you whatever she thinks you want to hear. She is an attorney with integrity and grit. She doesn’t fold under pressure. She’s one of the best. Plenty of other attorneys have vouched for her talent, experience and ability to navigate the court system in Los Angeles. She tenaciously worked to get my case thrown out and won by a landslide. I was almost brought to tears after I given a second chance at life professionally. This is an attorney you want to speak on your behalf make no mistake about it. She won my dmv hearing and my criminal case. Trust me when I say this. HIRE HER!

Navigating DUI charges can be overwhelming, but Julia at Aspen Law Group made a significant difference in my experiences. Having faced DUI charges twice, Julia's guidance was invaluable. In my first case, she was supportive and knowledgeable, making a challenging situation manageable. For my second DUI, which carried harsher penalties, Julia's expertise shone through. She's tough, fair, and reliable, working diligently to minimize my penalties. Notably, she helped secure a reduced home arrest and facilitated the use of an interlock device, allowing me to drive my car more quickly again.
Julia's approach goes beyond legal defense; she offers a clear path through the uncertainty of DUI charges with confidence and trust. Her dedication and ability to navigate the legal system are unparalleled. I wholeheartedly recommend Julia and Aspen Law Group to anyone facing a DUI arrest. With Julia, you're not just getting a lawyer; you're gaining a steadfast advocate who can guide you toward the best possible outcome. Trust in her expertise and her firm's capabilities to navigate this challenging time.

I wholeheartedly recommend R. Flennaugh! He came HIGHLY recommended by a couple of close friends. Even other attorneys spoke well of him. I watched courtrooms in 2 different municipalities show RF so much respect by him simply walking in the room. He's your guy!
I interviewed several other attorneys to represent my family member and decided on Robert. From our initial conversation he made me feel confident in his knowledge of the law. He was relatable and personable. He was honest, straightforward about possible outcomes and was GREAT at communicating. His fees were comparable to other reputable defense attorneys.
My family member was exonerated because of Robert's relentless hard work. He stayed on the procesecuting attorney's office for any/all discovery, requiring them to review evidence, body camera, dashboard footage that the prosecutor didn't even bother to consider reviewing before bringing charges. Robert was so skillful in pointing out the deception and false reporting by 2 different law enforcement agencies. All this without having to go to trial.
He was always a good stuart of our money, checking in with us and letting us know prior to spending against the retainer.
It's refreshing to see someone genuinely on their clients side, looking out for their absolute best interests and invested in their continue success even after the case was dismissed.
He's a Rockstar!

Mr. Chung's exceptional legal expertise and strategic prowess were instrumental in a remarkable outcome for my case. Facing a minor car accident and a frivolous lawsuit, he skillfully navigated the legal landscape and, impressively, prevented any settlement payments or judgments against me. His sharp legal mind and assertive approach, often likened to that of a legal "shark," ensured that my interests were vigorously protected. Mr. Chung's dedication to securing a favorable resolution without financial repercussions for me is a testament to his exceptional abilities as a lawyer. While sometimes communication was on the backburner, you shouldn't be alarmed, Mr. Chung is feverntly working legal magic and will get back to you accordingly. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a tenacious and effective legal advocate. I hope to never have a legal conundrum again, but in the case I do, there is no doubt about choosing him as my lawyer.

I want to extend the most excellent thank you to Mr. Edward Chung of Mr. Chung and Chung, Malhas, and Mantel plc. A year ago, it came to my knowledge that someone was trying to evict me from my property. Through legal Shield, I established an attorney-client relationship with Mr. Chung. All year presented with an abundant knowledge always sharp through every twist and turn. Along with patience from Mr. Chung and his office staff, my mother is older and not very tech-savvy. Nevertheless, they worked diligently by communicating and assuring that they had the necessary documentation when he appeared in court. It was a long year, very emotional and stressful, but I'm grateful for Mr. Chung, an exceptional attorney of law that helped us prevail in court not once by twice.

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.

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.
