I had the best experience with Angela! I had an affordable payment arrangement during a hard transition. My divorce was very difficult and thanks to Angela and her team, I was able to afford a lawyer for my case. My divorce was handled efficiently. I 100% recommend her as a lawyer.

Attny Angela Whitaker is a great lawyer. She took my case after another lawyer had to dropout. She is very knowledgeable and jumped right in the middle to get this done as quickly as possible. The payment plan helped a lot and I she was truly an angel from God. You couldn’t go wrong with using this all female team who doesn’t judge.

In the latter part of 2024, I unexpectedly faced significant criminal legal challenges that left me feeling overwhelmed and anxious. I searched extensively online and spent days reading reviews to find a criminal defense attorney that I could trust with my life. Eventually, I found a criminal defenseattorney. His name was George MacAvoy Brown. I could not have been more impressed; his client reviews were spectacular touting George with nothing less than a 5 Star Client Rating and an Avvo rating of 10.0. His Lawyer Endorsements described George as “unmatched dedication, diligent, professional, dependable, an asset, passionate, and with intense determination.” After speaking with George, I knew I had made the right decision. George stepped in and expertly navigated the intricate legal landscape on my behalf, fighting enthusiastically to secure the justice I desperately needed. Throughout this daunting process, he maintained clear and consistent communication, providing me with updates that offered tremendous reassurance and comfort during a turbulent time. His dedication and expertise were evident at every turn. His professionalism and tenacity in the courtroom are simply unmatched. I wholeheartedly recommend George MacAvoy Brown to anyone seeking a passionate advocate who can guide them through the complexities of the justice system.

After the endless cycle of incompetent lawyers, I contacted Mr. Brown. He looked me right in the eyes and assured me that he would not let me down. George is the consummate professional. He is ethical, engaging, tenacious, fair, and determined. He is not afraid of corrupt judges or overzealous prosecutors. George doesn’t promise grandiosity or sell you ice dream dreams. He will fight your case like Manny Pacquiao, always on the assault because the best defense is a good offense. And he has a track record of getting results for his clients. Do your future, family, and finances a favor and don’t hesitate to hire George Brown. He saved my life.

Channelle drafted the wrong wording regarding spousal support after taking her to two mediations, per my new lawyer that I took to my final arbitration. She hardly looked at my case, and relied on her office personnel to handle everything. When I showed up at the first mediation she asked me why we were there and if me and my ex could reconcile (no). I felt she sided with my ex in terms of giving him 50/50 parenting time even though I was a stay at home mom. I do not recommend this office to anyone.

Ashleigh is an exceptional attorney! She was with me every step of the way as we fought and won against a very difficult to deal with EX and lawyer from a popular divorce firm for women. We were faced with a lot of obstacles, which were all overcome! The outcome of my case was even better than I expected! Ashleigh and the staff are very responsive and efficient. I can’t say enough about the level of professionalism and seasoned skill set that was displayed on my case. Having Kizy law on your side fighting for you will be an asset, especially if you’re dealing with divorce, parenting time/rights, and child support. I can’t thank you enough! You’ve given me the invaluable opportunities to continue be a great Dad to an amazing little girl! Opportunities which turn into memories which my daughter and I will be able to cherish for a lifetime!

I had a case from many years ago that I never took care of as I am from out of state. I contacted Scott to help me with the process while still being out of state. Scott was patient, kind, and answered all of my many questions to help me get through the process as much as possible. It was a very scary experience to go through but Scott reassured me that he would take care of everything and he did. I felt that we were in good hands and I trusted him, which is surprising since I don't trust anyone. Thank you Scott for the help we really appreciate all you did for us.

Working with Amy Ruby has been an exceptional experience both professionally and personally. As an attorney, she is the epitome of a consummate professional. From our initial consultation to the final resolution, her expertise, diligence, and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of my case. Beyond her professional excellence, what truly sets Amy apart is the genuine friendship she offered throughout this journey. Her approachable nature and empathetic understanding made an otherwise stressful process much more manageable. She took the time to listen, to understand my concerns, and to provide reassurance when I needed it most. Amy seamlessly blended professional rigor with personal warmth, making me feel supported on all fronts. It’s rare to find someone who excels in their field while also being a true friend, but Amy Ruby is exactly that. If you’re looking for an attorney who will not only represent you with unwavering dedication but also stand by you as a trusted ally, I wholeheartedly recommend Amy Ruby. Thank you, Amy, for your outstanding service and steadfast friendship. Your impact on my life goes beyond the courtroom, and I am profoundly grateful. Joshua Watkins

Above all else, I felt like I had an advocate every step of the way. 10/10 - I'd recommend Amy to any friend or family member who needs representation to resolve a legal issue.

Loren was hired by my family after I was arrested for a rather embarrassing incident. Loren and his team got me out of jail within hours. They treated me respectfully and with dignity, which made the whole process a bit more tolerable. Through long negotiations and some really brilliant strategic moves, they got my case resolved with a plea to a misdemeanor that saved me from a very humiliating fate. I’m very happy with Loren’s work and couldn’t have asked for a more excellent lawyer.

Ezra Goldman gave me my life back. His knowledge of the intricacies of the law is almost like a sixth sense. He could see things that I would never ever notice or consider in a lifetime of reflection. I have a tendency to be a walking(sometimes rolling)ball of stress and anxiety. He handled me well. I am ignorant of a lot of things, but Mr. Goldman was able to help me make sense of of it all, guide me in the right direction with patience and care with aplomb. He put me at ease as much as humanly possible as legal counsel can be whilst surely being prohibited from making promises. His confidence gave me confidence. While I hope to never need his services again. I would not for moment hesitate seek him out if need be, and I highly recommend him to anybody finding themselves up against a wall. I feel like I can breath again because Mr. Goldman was there when I needed him most.

Hiring Parisa was the best decision I’ve ever made. I was facing two felonies and was very scared. She guided me through the process and took steps to help assure that I didn’t do any time in prison. She was able to get me a fantastic outcome by having my charges reduced to a misdemeanor. There is no question that I would hire her again. Please give her a call, I promise you won’t regret it.

Just choose Parisa—she is the one you want in your corner, trust me, you will thank me later. I cannot say enough about the exceptional representation I received from her in my embezzlement case. From the very beginning, Parisa approached my situation with professionalism, empathy, and unwavering dedication. She treated every question I asked as an opportunity to educate me, always making me feel confident rather than “dumb” for seeking clarity. Her meticulous attention to detail was remarkable; she thoroughly reviewed every piece of evidence and quickly identified key elements to present to the prosecutor, which were critical in securing a favorable outcome. Thanks to her hard work and strategic planning, I can now move forward with my life. If you’re looking for an attorney who is not only exceptionally skilled but also genuinely invested in your future, Parisa is the one you need to call.

I highly recommend the services of Access Legal Care Law Firm and specifically attorney Bert Whitehead and his team. Throughout my custody hearings, they provided exceptional guidance and support, ensuring that I had a clear understanding of the process and assisted me in filling out the necessary paperwork accurately and submitting it on time. One aspect that impressed me was their attentiveness to my needs and preferences. Despite their busy schedule, they always made sure to allocate time for my phone calls, which was included in the payment. I initially found the strict time window for calls a bit disconcerting, but Attorney Whitehead promptly addressed all my concerns and ensured that I received the necessary attention and guidance. What I appreciated most was the transparency in terms of payment. Whether it was a straight upfront payment or a payment plan, they provided a clear rate, ensuring that I knew what to expect. Despite opting for a payment plan, the level of service and dedication extended to me was no different from those who paid in full. Attorney Whitehead and his team were meticulous in their approach to my case, going above and beyond to set me up for success. They ensured that I understood my responsibilities and provided updates on the progress of the case, including reminders and calls the night before court hearings to ensure my preparedness. Although I never met Attorney Whitehead in person, our communication through Skype and phone calls made me feel like he was my personal attorney. The entire team at Access Legal Care works tirelessly, often working seven days a week, demonstrating their commitment to their clients. They genuinely care about achieving the best possible outcome, regardless of payment plan or payment in full. They never left me hanging and consistently provided assistance and support throughout the ups and downs of the case. Attorney Whitehead and his team are not only proficient in navigating the legal system but also in finding cost-saving alternatives to reach a favorable resolution. They understood the gravity of my case and approached it with efficiency, grace, and precision. I cannot express enough gratitude for the positive impact they had on my life. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, I was able to achieve my desired outcome, although it did take some time and patience. I fully believe that no other lawyer could have done a better job, even if I had paid them in full. Access Legal Care, led by Attorney Bert Whitehead, is an outstanding law firm with a compassionate and skilled team. If you are in need of legal assistance, I strongly encourage you to reach out to them. I have personally tried various internet sites, consulted with different lawyers and experts, and Access Legal Care stands out as the best choice. They will make the seemingly impossible possible and restore your hope in a successful outcome. They certainly did that for me, and I will forever be grateful. Thank you once again to Burt Whitehead and the entire team. Stay blessed and stay great! Sincerely blaise

Bert was very knowledgeable and help me thru this and appreciate his professional service to me. I like the on the line system- modern technology is so amazing. I never had to drive to his office (like my ex-wife did- traveled 45 minutes each way to talk with her lawyer) to get access to him but did everything thru on line and telephone. Set up an appointment time slot on his schedule that he has available and then he calls you back at that time. Be organized and write down your content you want to cover as the time flies by quickly. He was 4 times cheaper than the first lawyer I had a consultation with to see if I was going to hired her her Thank you Bert. You are a great lawyer. I wouldn’t hesitate in using you again.

I had called several lawyers prior to engaging Lewis & Dickstein. They were all awful. They only seemed interested in the money, I was just another number and wouldn't fight for me or my family. My husband happened to come across several reviews on Lewis & Dickstein which prompted us to have a call with them. The call led to an in-person meeting. Once I met Mr. Lewis, I felt instantly comforted knowing he had my back and best intentions at heart and would fight for me. Mr. Lewis exceeded expectations. From the first time I spoke with him he told me "I won't let you down, I won't let anything happen to you"...and indeed, he did not. I was charged with drunk driving with high BAC. It was my first offence. I was beyond scared. I was facing possible jail time, lengthy probation and rigorous alcohol testing. Mr. Lewis guided me every step of the way. Advising on what to do and not what to do. He was always available, and responded to every question and worry I had. He was firm but fair with me, no BS. The Judge assigned to my case was widely known for her strict stance on DUI. This did not phase Mr. Lewis one bit, he often reiterated "he won't let anything happen to me". Mr. Lewis was able to negotiate a lower charge of operating while intoxicated, which I plead guilty to. This all happened in a short period of time - it felt like forever - but I was assured this was a quick turnaround. Days before sentencing, I had a violation by missing one of my three daily test times. I was not aware I missed it. As soon as I was aware I went for a urine test, but was outside the allocated 12 hour time frame. This was terrifying. I had been so diligent throughout the process and to miss one right before sentencing was beyond frightening as I knew this would not look good to the Judge. Mr. Lewis and I may have had a few cross words following this incident, it was all in my best interest, and he continued to fight hard for me. At sentencing, Mr. Lewis not only had my testing violation dismissed, he miraculously got me NO jail time, NO probation, no therapy or AA. All I had to pay were some fines. This outcome went beyond my husband and my expectations. It was truly unbelievable. My family and I are eternally grateful to Mr. Lewis! Thank you Randy.

The first thing the Randy Lewis said when we met was"Your in good hands and Ill take care of you" Everything he said was true. He had me feeling much more confident about the case and that we will not just take a plea deal which is what my initial Lawer wanted to do. With only one pre-trial conference Randy was able to bring my charges down from a pretty serious criminal case to a civil infection that equated to a fine and a few points on my license. There is not another attorney I would recommend if you are wanting the best in the business. Thanks again Randy Lewis!

I am so appreciative of the work Mr. Lewis has done for me. After not having a valid drivers license for many years Mr. Lewis was able to change that. He walked through the process every step of the way. Any questions I had he took the time to thoroughly explain. My appeal for my license was a little complicated but that didn't concern him one bit. He worked very hard on my case and went above and beyond. I can't thank him enough because I now have my driving privilege's back and all thanks to him. He really helped get my life back on track. I am now in pursuit of the job I wish I had Years ago and now its becoming a reality. Thank Randy, your awesome!

I had Danny take care of my past due tickets and I cannot have been more satisfied with the outcome of my case. My license was suspended and I was worried about it for months. Danny consulted with me and not only gave me a detailed explanation of how the entire process works, but put my mind at ease by letting me know what he would be able to do. I was confident that he would do a good job because of his level of expertise and his honesty. He was able to do everything he said he would do and more. I also was pleased that he and his staff are always available to answer questions. The consultation was free and his fee was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend Danny and use him again in the future.

Zach did an amazing and thorough job on my case. He was always available when I needed him and he answered all my questions thoroughly, sometimes more than once without ever hesitating. It was a highly stressful and emotional situation for me and Zach understood that and was so patient and kind. His background as a prosecutor helped because he was able to understand where the prosecutor was coming from and how to go from there. I’m pleased to say that Zach was not only able to get my case dismissed but prior to that he was able to get a no contact order dropped by the judge that the prosecutor said the judge would never agree to. Thank you Zach!!

I was issued multiple traffic citations for an accident where the officer(s) misrepresented certain important facts. Zach and his team were able to get the facts to my case corrected and half of my caseload dropped. Zach was poised, detailed and very professional. The court proceedings took over a year to finalize for the traffic incident. During this period, Zach was on time for every court appearance and handled my case with care.

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.
