"I can't speak highly enough of Attorney Allan Friedman. I randomly found his page doing a Google search. The entire experience, from the first time I called him asking for help until the very end, was EXCEPTIONAL. During our first encounter, he couldn’t take my child juvenile case, but he took the time to pass on my information to one of his colleagues who could help. Being clueless, in a panic and a court appearance in a couple of days and I went with another firm. THAT WAS A BIG MISTAKE! I ended the contract with Ruane Law Firm (whom I paid) when my child’s case shifted to adult court; I lost complete faith. My gut and heart led me back to Attorney Friedman, who was my first choice. He immediately showed complete COMPASSION, PROFESSIONLISM, and most importantly made me feel at EASE. His approach and friendly demeanor far exceeded my expectations. His experience is INVALUABLE. I’m pleased to report our case is behind us and we received the desired outcome I prayed for. I WOULD HIRE HIM AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT!!!!!

I can’t say enough about Mark Sherman, Christine, and their incredible team. My stepfather was facing two 20-year charges—First Degree Manslaughter and First-Degree Assault. The stakes couldn’t have been higher. Mark Sherman, Christine, and the team achieved the seemingly impossible, reducing the charges to misconduct with a Motor Vehicle—a charge that still carried a potential 5-year prison sentence—and yet they managed to secure no jail time for my stepfather. The team had the manslaughter and assault charges dropped. While he did receive 3 years of probation and a 3-year loss of his CDL, the outcome was far better than we ever could have hoped for.
Our family went through hell for about 8 years because of this case. The toll it took on my family, especially my mother, was unbearable at times. I’m lucky she’s still alive to celebrate this win with us after everything we have been through.
Years ago, when I was desperately searching for help. I found Mark Sherman through a google search. I was heartbroken and emotionally drained. From the very first conversation, Mark, Christine, and their team were compassionate, understanding, and willing to fight for us in a way no one else was.
Thanks to their dedication, skill, and professionalism, our family is now able to begin healing and putting the pieces back together. Mark Sherman, Christine, and the team were exceptional from start to finish, and I can’t thank them enough for the second chance they gave us.
If you’re looking for an attorney who genuinely cares and delivers results, I wholeheartedly recommend Mark Sherman and Christine. They truly saved our family.

The services provided by Mr. Mark Sherman's office were a blessing, and worked very well for us. We had no experience with legal issues, and since our situation was severe and needed immediate attention, we couldn't formulate any plans, but needed to work toward a solution right away. After describing the problem over the phone, Mr. Sherman provided immediate guidance to begin dealing with the situation promptly and properly, as well as alternative options.
As Mr. Sherman advised, it is a slow process, over two years in our case. Nonetheless, his experience, attention to detail, and thoroughness, provided the guidance to work through the necessary steps and resolve the situation to a more favorable outcome. Of course, on our end, the process was not without a great deal of worry, anxiety, and the feeling that one may not endure the situation to the end. And, just to mention, my usual thoughts of "I always worry when I have to depend upon someone else", were never an issue with Mr. Sherman or his office. Our hope and faith in Mr. Sherman were very well placed, as no misteps occurred or additional problems ensued.
We highly recommend his office. His staff were always on top of things, and Mr. Sherman was always available whenever the processes were taking their next steps. Questions were always answered, and any confusion or concerns that arose were also resolved quickly. We felt well-guided through the process and highly recommend him.

I have had a wonderful experience with this law firm; they are extremely helpful and professional. I worked with Mrs. Velez, who made sure I understood everything about the process and did her best to make sure a the stress of an extremely stressful situation was minimized. They are always available should you have any questions, or if any complications arise. I would 1000% recommend this firm to anyone who asked or was/is in need of representation.

"I am an experienced paramedic, with awards and decorations, with over 20 years of experience. Recently I was terminated from my empowerment through no fault of my own. I had applied for unemployment compensation and was denied. I reached out to Attorney Lasko . After a through and extensive consultation with Attorney Lasko, where he was able to analyze my termination and give me a firm understanding of what my legal rights were as to wrongful termination and unemployment benefits, I retained Attorney Lasko. Attorney Lasko was able to put together an highly effective letter that was sent to my former employer which resulted in my re-employment and the winning of unemployment benefits in the appeal process that covering unemployment benefits for the time I was out of work.. Although it is Attorney Lasko’s policy not to guarantee results, the results he obtained for me through keen insight, quick action, and years of tempered experience as he negotiated with my former employer were beyond any expectation I may have had.
Results speak and Attorney Lasko delivered!
I recommend Attorney Lasko without reservation!

Attorney Lasko was one of three attorneys referred to me by Outten & Golden. I hired Attorney Lasko, because he was prompt and proactive. He helped devise an exit strategy from my former employer, then navigate through the separation, which was done so amicably. Moreover, I was able to successfully secure the maximum severance package allowable from my former employer on the terms that I desired. Overall, it was a positive experience, and I have able to remain on good terms with my former employer. This was a win-win situation. I highly recommend Attorney Lasko.

I was referred to Christine for a domestic violence case. Hiring was the best thing I could've done for my defense. She went beyond her incredible expertise to be a compassionate human being in a time when I greatly needed it. She always made sure that I fully understood everything going on in my case at all times. She successfully got the best possible outcome for me. I highly recommend her as a lawyer.

She’s definitely a recommend!!

Mr. Seeger was recommended to me by a friend a work, and I must say he was excellent and helping me straighten out my automotive/ driving permit legal issues.
I was facing what I considered to be a serious reckless charge though not a DWI. Not a serious charge but nonetheless, through his advice and counsel, I was able to rectify my issues and allowed me to retain my permit and keep working without having to turn to public transport.
I would recommend him to anyone.
Thanks.

I called Chas Abate late in the process in a deed-in-lieu where I was getting the run around from the mortgage company. What took me a year to get to a stale mate he quickly brought this to a final resolution. Not many attorneys would get involved this late in the process but he not only did but went to court the next day. Many thanks to Chas and I sleep much better at night thanks to him. I would highly recommend him and it was money well spent. I even received a refund for the money the mortgage company took from my account incorrectly 2 years prior that started the whole mess in the first place. His final invoice was detailed and extremely fair. If I had to do this all over again he would be the first person I would call. He has restored my faith in the legal system after getting the run around from the attorneys from the mortgage company. Thank you Chas you are truly a good person.

Words are inadequate to express my profound satisfaction with being represented by The Law Office of Rashmi Patel. Her unparalleled expertise in the field and commanding presence in the courtroom have yielded the desired outcomes. Representing me by Rashmi Patel has been a transformative experience, a stark contrast to my previous legal representation.
Rashmi Patel provides comprehensive print communication, regular updates on the case, and meticulously files motions. She collaborates closely with her clients to develop strategic plans and thoroughly prepares them for their legal appearances. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking exceptional legal representation.

Needed some simple advice to review an out of state order and have it moved to Connecticut. Victor took my money (twice), asked me to send him a document to review and act upon, but he (and his assistant) then failed to respond to several phone calls and emails when I tried to follow up. Victor seems to know his stuff, but is clearly not interested in the small stuff. (who is, I guess?) Many months later and I am no further ahead...trying to work it out on my own...

I used Vic for a custody battle in new haven and was over charged and had less them stellar results in the end I was even sued by Vic and had a lean put on my house by him this is not an attack just facts even the attorney that was hired as a Guardian at Leitem for my child was in agreement that his fees were way over priced needless to say in the end I did get my child back on my own after releasing Vic but still got sued by him and had a lean put on my house to insure that he got paid what he did not deserve

Victor knows his way around the law books. From a Non-Attorney perspective things seem to happen the long way around with a lot of extra hearings and aggravation that literally have no point. Victor is a very capable and knowledgeable Attorney fighting an up hill battle for most of us, yet I can not help feeling slighted and semi ripped off in the process. He is very busy, this however is no excuse for lack of preparation for a hearing... preparation that I have PAID for... a Hearing that I am PAYING for. Bottom line is, he has the knowledge, he has the skill, yet when confronted with these concerns will bail on you.
The Potential is there Victor. You could Shine like no other. Not one person in that Court House has more knowledge of the law than you. Slow down, use it like we all know you can.

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.
