I had a 6 point ticket and Ron Cook got this down to zero points. That saved me over $300 right there alone because the DMV would have assessed a fee of $300+ due to the points. Also, by getting the points to zero, this prevented my insurance rates from going up. Hire this lawyer. His fees are reasonable and the results are superior.

I have been fighting a CPS Civil Rights case with Mr. Del Col for 7 years now. The egregious things that happened to our daughter are slightly summarized in this New York Post article:
https://nypost.com/2016/01/17/hospitals-killed-our-baby-and-then-tried-to-blame-us-lawsuit/
When everyone else was afraid to take on our case and upset the Suffolk County Family Court System, possibly hurting their own practices; Bob was the only one that stepped up to the plate. He has spent tireless hours working, writing, researching, talking to experts and fighting for justice for my daughter and the civil rights of my sons that were wrongfully taken by CPS.
I should have typed this referral years ago. If you have any questions as to whether Robert Del Col is the proper attorney for you please feel free to call me at 631.514.9660 and I will answer any questions that you my have. He is tenacious and fiercely protective of his clients. That is not a quality easy found in this vast field. Very truly yours, Sara Keenan

Mr. Barahal did exactly what he told me he'd do. My case wasn't due until 2pm. He had me meet him there around 9:30am. We briefly spoke about my case , he told me to follow him into the courtroom. Within 5 minutes my case was being heard, charges dismissed and I was on my way. This man did what he said he would. That is what makes him a great lawyer!!!!

Not only is Vincent the best lawyer I have ever met but his staff is amazing as well. His Assistant, Dina, is simply wonderful. Vincent represented me on a number of very complicated family court and criminal court matters and I'm so happy to say that everything was either completely dismissed or settled in my favor. I couldn't have done it without the help Mr. Trimarco, Dina, and everyone else on their team.

Lack of effort . Got nothing that i asked for. Never returns calls. Does no leg work. He did more for my ex wife’s attorney than hers did. He absolutely sat on his hands and did nothing but take 5 k in retainer and got absolutely nothing that was asked or needed. He is absolutely the worst choice i could of made . Just a horrible reference from another attorney for a simple cut and dry case. I am absolutely disgusted i hired him . I wish i could sue for malpractice...

Mr. Shapiro's interests and alliances are not first and foremost with his own client, he listens with one ear. Mr. Shapiro's interests are solely for himself, it is more important to him to play the game and stay in good with the other attorneys. I had no marital money in my control. My son had to pay his attorney fee for me. I should have received child support and maintenance to ensure the well being of myself and four children. He held the original receipts for costly but necessary house repairs (i.e. burst water pipes during winter, etc.) which I had to charge a.k.a. go in debt and borrow son’s money to complete necessary repairs for we had no running water, heat and clean drinkable water and the house also needed to be in sellable condition. Mr. Shapiro likes to go on many vacations, and is unavailable to reach during crucial time. He allowed the defendant's attorney to also become the real estate attorney regarding sale of the marital residence and thus giving the defendant’s attorney full control over of the house sale agreements and closing. Before and during the closing we had an issue with a verified fully operating swimming pool (house was sold as is, swimming pools aren't even to be included in sale of house, in real estate swimming pools are considered as “no value”). Mr. Shapiro allowed the defendants attorney to obtain $10,000.00 for pool at closing which I did not sign the agreement and this should have never legally been allowed (conflict of interest). Also, real estate contract stated I was allowed to remain in the house for three days after the sale, which was changed to zero days at closing. The check I was handed to me at closing was after the close of banking business hours. I had to deposit the check for I did not have enough money for the bank to cash it against. This left me out in the street of NY for days. Mr. Shapiro held all the original house repair receipts for the marital residence that were paid for by son and was to be recouped at house closing which he did not. My son also had to pay Mr. Shapiro’s attorney fees for I had no control over my half of marital assets, which was lost due to having to fire Mr. Shapiro after the house closing. Mr. Shapiro hired the defendants attorney to sue me for more fees that were not timely even legally billable. Mr. Shapiro also allowed the defendants attorney to hold my half of the marital assets for years allowing them to gamble and make huge amounts of interest on my money to line their pockets, while my children and I did without. With serious medical emergency surgery at the time for me to endure, there was no protection from Mr. Shapiro when I requested and required a will to be set in place for to ensure the rightful inheritance to my children of my legal 50 percent of the marital residence and assets that were not yet disbursed and at high risk to all go back to the defendant. Too much aggravation etc., this is certainly not appropriate attorney behavior and attorney code of conduct, especially for an attorney that was hired to fight and protect My rights and interests as a Female (Person) Plaintiff; filed grievances on both attorneys. Beware!!! Mr. Shapiro must return $10,000.00 to my son immediately!!! No response is Not a Defense!

Tried calling several times for representation ,but he never responded and when I finally got someone in the phone the guy who answered was super rude and stated “Mr. Stein does not accept sales calls”.I responded “ sir I’m in need of representation this is not a sales call”. He repeated “no sales calls” and then hung up. I was totally confused by what happened,but if this is a suggestion of his services well I’d be in trouble.

I hired this attorney for real estate needs in purchasing my new home. The attorney and his assistant Michelle have done nothing but made my experience a nightmare. There is zero communication and in order to get things done I had to handle everything that I could myself. Michelle was rude and had an attitude through out this process and almost made me lose the house I was buying. She has screwed up a number of times and try’s to put the blame on someone else claiming she never received the paperwork. They are unprofessional and unorganized. They are never in the office on regular business days when they should. It’s hard to get a phone call back after leaving several messages.

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.
