My experience with David Moyse was very positive. He was able to guide me step-by-step throughout my case and provided the outcome we were hoping for. My case was won and I highly recommend David Moyse to anyone who needs legal counsel.

I am extremely grateful to the team at Jezic & Moyse, specifically Astrid, Tamara, and Giannina, for their outstanding work on my wife’s immigration case.
From the very beginning, their communication and attention to detail was exceptional and they were always available to answer our questions, making sure we understood every step of the process. The immigration process can be overwhelming, but having the right people to help in the journey can really make all the difference!
If you are seeking legal assistance, I highly recommend Jezic & Moyse, especially if you're looking for a team that is thorough, compassionate, and dedicated to their clients' success.
Thank you, Astrid, Tamara, and Giannina, for your incredible support and hard work!

Absolutely outstanding- followed my case as it dragged through the courts for 2 years, then got it dismissed with very minor input from me. Communication was truly phenomenal- answered texts right away, even after hours. Cannot recommend enough.

I am beyond grateful for the exceptional legal representation provided by James Papirmeister in a challenging case that lasted 9 months. From the very beginning, Mr. Papirmeister demonstrated an extraordinary level of professionalism, intelligence, and dedication that truly set him apart.
His profound knowledge of law, particularly Maryland legislation, was evident at every turn. This expertise, combined with his strategic acumen, allowed him to navigate the complexities of the case with remarkable skill. Throughout the entire process, he was incredibly attentive and patient, taking the time to explain every detail and ensuring that we felt supported and informed at every step.
One of James’ most impressive qualities is his ability to connect with the courtroom. His persuasive arguments and commanding presence won over the judge, showcasing his mastery in the art of legal advocacy. He truly did everything within his power to secure the best possible outcome for us.
Mr. Papirmeister is not only a master of his craft but also a compassionate and kind individual who genuinely cares about his clients. His unique philosophy and strategic approach to handling cases are a testament to his brilliance in the field of criminal law. I can confidently say that you won't find another lawyer like him anywhere—he is truly one of a kind.
I cannot thank Jim enough for his unwavering support and expertise. His ability to navigate complex legal challenges with confidence and precision is truly remarkable. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a top-notch criminal lawyer who is committed to achieving the best possible results.

I had two cases with mister Papirmeister. In both cases he got me no jail time. My first gun case he got me three years probation no jail time. My second gun case he won my motion to suppress evidence which ended up getting the case thrown out. Overall a good man who cares for his clients.

What stands out the most about Mr. Papirmeister isn’t just his reputation and understanding of criminal law, though, both are impressive. It isn’t even that he gets results, though, he definitely does. The thing that told us we had the right attorney was the genuine empathy he displayed from the first consultation to the final hearing. He takes the time to explain what he’s doing and why, and conveys genuine concern for all parties involved.

One year ago accused of rape of a minor and from that moment my life changed forever, but thanks to God and my brother we Andrew jezic and Wilfred Michael Stark, and we all their experience and knowledge about the law they fought day and knight
to give me life back and today I can honestly say that I owe Andre jezic and Mike Stark more than anyone can imagine, not just for setting me free but also for believing in my innocence. Thank you so much guys.

Andrew Jezic was retained based on the recommendation of a highly respected attorney who stated “as a prosecutor going into a jury trial the last defense attorney I would want to be looking at is Andrew Jezic”. Andy surrounded me with the finest group of people including Gary Smith and Matthias Meuwissen who with his leadership upheld their professionalism, knowledge, ethics and compassion for my wife and I through the worst time of our lives. Everyone wants to win but Andy and his team are willing to work tirelessly to prepare to win for you. Andy is an attorney who conducts himself as a gentleman at all times who will turn into a shark for you if it is appropriate. At the end of the jury trial and I was acquitted of all charges I was asked if Andy was as good as I thought he would be. My response was I had no idea that good existed.

I had a legal problem (I'd rather not go into the details) but David was amazing. From the moment I hired him, he talked me down off the ledge and gave me confidence that I would have a favorable outcome. The situation is now resolved and David was true to his word. He handled everything and we got the outcome he predicted. I can't imagine hiring anyone else.

Joel Duboff.. what can I say about this man? Great attorney, funny, determined, confident and not intimidated. He has a great office team and when you get there, they’ll treat you just like a family member. You worry about payment when you think about bringing him a case? Don’t! As long as you are able to stick to your promise, he got you with a payment plan.
I was charged with assault-second degree on 3 counts and my case was dropped yesterday because he knew how to handle it and how to talk to the judge. Thus, I walked out clean with zero charges! Throughout the preparation of my trial, Mr. Duboff and I along with his office team worked together. He would listen to me every time we spoke and he’s always ready to answer my phone calls. Just provide him with all necessary tools he’d ask and you’ll see the result just like me. Mr. Duboff, thank you!

Stephanie helped me through my divorce. She has expertise, is very professional and gets you what you need. She is not afraid to point unreasonable demands from the other party and will explain every detail so you understand what the steps towards finalizing divorce are. Let's face it, getting a divorce is not a fun event but she really gets it and was a wonderful help for me. Thanks again!!

I worked with Ms. Cooper for two years on a child custody and divorce agreement. My experience with her was excellent - she was responsive, helpful, comforting and successful. Ms. Cooper was a great listener, helped me understand where we were in the process and kept me involved throughout the proceedings. She was always prepared for court, appeared to be highly respected by the court and the other attorneys. I would highly recommend Ms. Cooper for her legal acumen.

Not enough good words in the English language to say about Rand. He goes above and beyond for his clients and truly cares about getting you the best result. I have hired Rand several times and he has always been communicative and receptive to all ideas and approaches. He is highly knowledgeable about the law as well as the potential judges and prosecutors you might encounter. Rand has provided me with high quality representation at an affordable price. I could not recommend anyone more so than him and as a trained attorney that says a lot. Go forward with Rand you will not be sorry about your decision. Smart, well spoken, confident, realistic, experienced, and caring are the best adjectives I can provide to encapsulate how great of an attorney and person Rand is.

Rand Lucey from Jezic & Moyse, LLC is a superb lawyer. I had a legal issue with some pretty life altering outcomes if I didn't have a lawyer represent me - well he did and his firm did. They had weekend hours during a major snowstorm - and he was there. He was amazing in court, my charges were reduced to just a $150 fine. He and his firm were amazing helpful and put my mind at rest- not to mention my family's minds. I highly recommend Rand and his firm to anyone that needs legal help. I haven't slept that well in a long time. I go to him and his firm for all my legal needs, you should too.

This guy knows what he is doing, plus his firm is famous in the DMV area. What he did for me was BIG. He did such a good job people thought i was an informant, lol. Thats what the Jezic firm and Rand Lucey does. They do such a good job people that aren't familiar with their level of expertise cant believe the outcomes in the courtroom. I got in trouble for too much medical mmj and the jezic Firm said to me "its just MMJ". I felt super safe with Rand Lucey.
Thanks.

If you are in search of an exceptional attorney who provides top-notch, exclusive legal counsel, then fate has led you to this review of Harry A. Suissa.
When concluding that I needed an attorney, I knew that it would have to be someone very skilled and capable, and preferably seasoned. I've always heard that word of mouth yields better outcomes, so I figured that I'd ask around. The praises sang of Mr. Suissa were great enough to convince me to call him, and that was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
With a divorce case as complex as mine, Mr. Suissa handled the delicate matters with finesse and the difficult issues with careful intensity. In courtroom presentation, Mr. Suissa is a charming powerhouse that is sure to deliver very well, as he exudes confidence, displays decorum, defends with subtle passion, and speaks with eloquence.
In my opinion, an immensely important quality is a person's responsiveness. While under duress, having someone make you feel that their focus is on you and helping to solve your problems averts anxiety. Through persistent communication, Mr. Suissa secured my hope, despite any trepidations.
The best part of it all, was that Mr. Suissa achieved results that far exceeded my expectations!
At the close of my litigation, surprisingly, I had bittersweet feelings. I was thrilled that my dealings with the case were over, but Mr. Suissa and his firm invested so much time, energy, attention and regard to my case, that saying farewell was with the intended meaning of, until next time. Of course, no one welcomes unnecessary legal issues, but if there ever arises another need for an attorney, Mr. Suissa has the job!
Harry A. Suissa is an A1 attorney, and when you retain his legal services, you'll be in good hands and great care.

Harry is the most wonderful lawyer in the world! I discovered my husband was having an affair with another man. My world and 20 year marriage were destroyed. I raised the children and was unemployed. My husband threatened to give me nothing and even lock me out of my own home. A dear and caring friend told me about Harry.
He did everything and was strong and commanding. Thanks to Mr. Suissa I have my life and sanity back. I also have financial security. I strongly recommend my lawyer to anyone facing a legal crisis. He will captain your ship through the storm.

My ex is bipolar, unemployed, and unemployable. We were married more than 30 years and we have 3 wonderful children. I was willing to agree to a fair settlement but she wanted, at least through her lawyer, the house & most of our investments. Her lawyer was very aggressive. Harry was amazing. He was always polite and professional. He knew how to handle the other attorney. He kept my fee low and still got me everything I wanted. I survived my divorce, kept my assets, and have a great relationship with my kids! Because of Harry's gentle touch, my ex and I are civil with each other! A Perfect end!

Hirsch and Cosca is a dynamic team of two knowledgeable women that considers their clients first. I was injured in a fall that resulted in painful injuries. Some of those injuries will continue to be with me. I was fortunate to find Hirsch and Cosca online and after meeting with Rebecca Cosca, I felt extremely comfortable in putting my case in her hands. Later, I was pleased to meet Annie Hirsch. Imagine my surprise when I realized that I had two attorneys working hard to represent my case. Rebecca and Annie understood that the defendants were being difficult. My attorneys were not deterred by the defendants' lack of acceptance of responsibility. Annie and Rebecca remained focused on the evidence of my case, fought hard for me and negotiated a fair settlement. Their amazing experience and sincere compassion makes them ideal for anyone seeking legal assistance. I am pleased to share my experience and appreciation for Annie Hirsch and Rebecca Cosca. Thank you so much and I wish you continued success. ❤

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.
