I was blessed to work with attorney/judge Barber, his wife Patti and Darla. I gained a remarkable respect for both the professionalism and humanitarianism practiced in this firm. Leaving my job here, for an advanced position I felt led to take at that time, I still cried the whole way home and pray to this day that I was led along the right path. Mr. Barber is an attorney whose caliber surpasses all others. That's said from a legal support staff with 20+ years experience.
During my time employed by him, I learned how it was our job to ensure that the law enforcement and DAs jobs were getting done. No stone was to be left unturned in defense of our clients...right or wrong. Every person is entitled to a defense...right or wrong. He gave it his all and we all slept well no matter what the case.
If my son was in trouble (his dad is a lawyer), Mr. Barber would be my first call. God Bless you Mr. And Mrs Barber, and thank you for all you do Darla Smith!

Mr. Barber and his team were extremely helpful and friendly during my case. This was my first time dealing with the law, and they cared for my nervous needs. His secretary is absolutely splendid. They completed all the tasks required, which led to the prosecutor deciding not to pursue the charge. I would recommend him to anyone in need of legal help.

Hired Mr.Cowart about a month leading up to a case in Evans County. I requested a consultation and received one quickly. Our initial call was thorough and reassuring. He negotiated for a much reduced charge that I was very satisfied with. He seems to have a great rapport with Evans County Court. He is knowledgeable,professional, and fairly priced. His receptionist Makensie was also very responsive. Payment and “paperwork” could be handled online which was convenient for me.

I hope this doesn't find you too late, but i've been dealing with alot since even before my move so I hope you'll forgive the delay. Samuel Derocco did an awesome job getting to know my difficult situation and working with me to help as much as he could. I had some issues with my license (to put it simply) which I ended up in court for for months. This was a HUGE problem because I was in the midst of moving across country. My husband was already there waiting for me and his 6mo old to join him. I was living with family in the meantime. He listened to my story and spoke genuinely on my behalf working with the court officials to find the best legal way to handle this. He was very knowledgeable, even on the out of state laws. I seriously cried at how well things came out for me and the compassion and understanding shown in regards to my case. In the end I was spared the worst and given the freedom to be in my new home with my husband and our new baby. I am eternally grateful and hope that you are thriving in your life and your business. Best of luck! -CLC

Dustin and his staff where all so friendly and helpful. They called me often to see how my recovery was going, and to keep me informed of what was going on. You actually meet with Dustin, not a paralegal, when you go in for your consultation. He is very honest with you, he is not just in it for money. He makes sure you know what you can and can't do, and how you should behave during the case. Dustin cares about his clients, and his staff knows you by name. Your not just a case number, they really take the time to get to know you.

I had not received a ticket in over 45+ years until entering Georgia on our way back to Florida after a log semi- truck cut us off abruptly, and I then overtook it. I was then stopped and informed by a Sheriff that I was speeding and given a speeding citation. I had no idea of what to do or the consequences to expect in this day and age. At first I thought, should I just pay it?, or given the exact circumstances, perhaps I should at least look into legal options available? After looking online for websites with attorneys near where the ticket was issued, and reading reviews online I was impressed by the Hube Law Firm and called.
Wow am I glad I asked for advice. I had no idea what the final total court costs, charges, or insurance repercussions could be, and was very glad to have had the Counsel of Simon Peed from their firm once assigned.
Simon and their staff guided me through everything needed to achieve the very best outcome at a very fair fee. They double checked all things at every step, so I felt continually on track, updated and informed regarding the process. I highly recommend this Firm for any legal interaction you may require!

I hired the Hube Law Firm to handle an out-of-state speeding ticket for me. While this is never a good situation, the ease and professionalism with which they handled it for me made this much less painful. They responded quickly to every phone call and email and kept me apprised all along the way. I have nothing but good things to say about the Hube Law Firm and would highly recommend them.

One of the best choices I ever made for my family was choosing Busbee Law Group to represent my family. Mr Busbee fought for mine and my families rights as if he were fighting for his own. He was thorough in having all the facts and evidence for our case everytime we went to court. I loved that when I had a question, not only could Mr Busbee answer it, but those in his office were just as knowledgeable and could answer them too. Mr Busbee and his whole team were always so kind and patient with us when we had to call or meet. They made us feel as if we were his only clients the whole time. I can't thank the whole Busbee team enough for everything they did for us. There are a alot of great law firms out there, but a better one than Busbee Law, I don't think so.
You guys were so great, that God forbid, but if I ever need a lawyer again, I am going to beg Mr Busbee to take the case, even if it's not his specialty. I trust his ability to handle it that thoroughly. He is a great lawyer and everyone in the office are great people.

Approximately 3 years ago my son was facing legal issues and I reached out to Attorney Lovett Bennett to guide us through the process. I nor any of my family had ever had the need for legal representation, but I had always respected Attorney Bennett. Not only had I followed Attorney Bennett's professional success, but I was also inspired by his service to Bulloch County as he was recognized in 2016 with a Lifetime Achievement Award. Attorney Bennett led us through the legal process, which included multiple court appearances in two counties, a lot of work on weekends, nights and holidays. Not only was Attorney Bennett always there, but so was his office staff. After 3 years in the courts, which resulted in a very successful outcome, I can't imagine going through the process without God, Attorney Lovett Bennett and his office staff.

I was pointed in the direction of Lovett from a colleague. I was very nervous about my case and would call him periodically before my trial. I never received a call back until days before when I had to be back in Statesboro which didn't make super comfortable/confident going into my court date. Months later I had asked for his help again with the current case and I was told "Good Luck! I do not feel sorry for you at all and you face the consequences" Im not sure if it was because I am city guy, his ability to actually work this case, or if he was already happy he received my payment. In conclusion I was able to find an attorney from Atlanta who did an outstanding job and took care of my case with zero worries.

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.
