Samantha is more than knowledgeable, professional, thorough, and leaves no stones unturned. All her “i’s” and “t’s” are dotted and crossed twice. I will never use anyone else.

Having to go thought a divorce is horrible, having to find someone who can represent you is another difficult task. Before I came to this office I went though a few lawyers and they all seemed interested in one thing, money. They all dismissed what was more important to me, my daughter. I thought I was never going to find someone who understood what I needed. Until someone guided me to Jim’s office. At first I was a bit worried because I thought this might be the same thing. To my surprise this was a very different world. I felt heard, I felt like they understood what was important for me. Most of all the one person who helped me throughout this whole situation was Lora. I couldn’t have gone through all of this with out her help. She sincerely opened her heart and shared her help in way I couldn’t began to describe. I know that lawyers are always busy, but when they have someone like Lora, who reminds them of certain situations and someone who cares a lot about what you are going through and does her best to make sure you understand everything that is happening even if it means after hours or on the weekend. I can’t fully express my gratitude to her, if it wasn’t for her help and guidance I don’t know how things could have ended. Thankfully my situation concluded and I was okay thanks to this team. I will forever thank them for their help, and if anyone is having a hard time and need help I think this is a great office and a great team that could help you. I highly recommend them.

This team is full of good people with good morals & will fight & represent your family well. They are honest, very detailed oriented, aggressive when needed, knowledgeable, will fight for what is morally right & work with you through your financial situation (& they’re very persistent). I would highly recommend using their team for any custody issues, divorce processes & they will take the time to guide you to do what’s right in the best interests of your children (or whatever situation you may be faced or dealing with). They’re like family….thats how they treated me & my children & the outcome was in my favor. Largely because of how they operate their practice. Jim W., Lora H. & Kevin P. are the only people I’d ever recommend (or trust) in a tough situation like the cases they handle. Their like family & again the way they practice is the right way. My lawyer Jim stepped up big, kept me straight through my own emotions & how to follow the process & the para legal was absolutely amazing, smart, knowledgeable & kept me moving in the right direction. Kevin stepped in on one of my most important hearings & was an all-star representative of my family. Love these people. Their normal good hearted people & not like “the blood sucking lawyers” mentioned in Jurassic Lark. I can’t say enough about what they did for me & my family. God bless each of them, because we handled it in the “right way”. Don’t go to anyone else but them. If you’re truly a good person, parent, wife/husband & your battling with a tough situation I highly recommend their team….& only then team.
Trust them, follow their lead & if your intentions are good….their the best team you could hire. I’m forever in debt to these fine American based people. I just can’t say enough. Don’t go anywhere else. Lean on them & their practice/knowledge.

I honestly had to take the time to thank Attorney Epps and his staff again through an outstanding review in regards to my case and the way they handled things.. Awesome services, unmatched, I’ve never had such a great experience with a Law Firm. Kyle Epps was highly recommended and I did my research, but my own personal experience was way better than I thought.
My back was against the wall, and time was of the essence, Mr Epps and his kind and helpful staff did way above grade with my case and advocated for me and advised me even how to move going forward in my personal affairs that would also further help my situation and with handling things in my life. They actually care about their clients and the staff as a whole work well together…
I’m truly Grateful
Thanks again

I don’t even know where to start when it comes to Kyle Epps. I walked in his office 3 years ago and the charges I had called for prison time. He gave me an outline on what to do, and of course I said I’ll do this and this but not that. He pushed me hard and gave me every tool I needed to stay free. Three years later I went to court and walked out just about a free man. Not only didn’t his way work in the courtroom, but it’s changed my life in every single way you could imagine. He was very stern, but he totally knew what he was talking about. His plan is 100%, it’s just a person has to do the footwork. He’s very professional and his team is on top of everything so you don’t slip through the crack. I am so grateful for meeting this man, I would not be the person I am today clean and sober if I didn’t walk into that office 3 years ago.

Custody battles are very difficult but I am thankful to of had Dawn on my side throughout the years. She has been professional, giving great legal advice & fighting hard to help me accomplish what was best for my children. I would not have been able to be there for my children as much as I wanted without her help. I am very grateful. She will always be our family attorney.

I don’ even know where to start!
3 yrs ago I hired Mr Rountree to handle a conspiracy case for me that just keep getting pushed back. The DA tried to offer a plea deal which Mr Rountree said we should refuse and we did! As of typing this I have received a phone call from Mr Rountree expressing his joy in having the case dismissed. He hung with me the whole way and gave me my life back!
Thank You from the bottom of my family’s heart Sir !!! You are a gentleman and the very best attorney anyone could have !!!!!

I think Attorney Rountree is a VERY good lawyer. He was sharp as a tack, attentive to my case, and seemed to work great alongside Attorney Ronda Leary, who worked with him at the practice. I loved the outcome I got from the court when using Mr. Rountree, and I am thankful to this day. Mr. Rountree brings extra expertise to most cases by being a former police officer, and can sense when they have gone out of line. I would LOVE to give him 5 stars, because he is a hard working, bright and budding attorney, and the reviews mean a lot, I know. The great points about him: He knows his stuff. He is a sharp and classy attorney with a very good level of confidence. He did an excellent job in my case, albeit, alongside Attorney Leary, who later became a Judge in Gwinnett County, so between the two of them, they did an excellent job together. Points that need improving would have to be his getting in touch with his clients in a timely manner. It seems the cohesion between him and his secretary don't always seem to get the message across, that, or he is so busy with cases that he truly doesn't have the chance to send a quick message, email, or call me back. In criminal cases, Mr. Rountree, there is a lot of worry in your clients minds. As you work by yourself and grow, remember that. You seem quick to close a case after you've done all you can without much "How did I do? Do you need anything else?" You will encounter all kinds of cases, many horrific, but as you grow as a great attorney, and you WILL, just remember to go above and beyond always, return your calls timely, relieve the worry in your clients as the absolute best you can, especially if they are in the jail or prison system because once they are behind the bars, fear happens, the lighting dims, and they worry if someone is REALLY out there protecting them.

Jason killed it at my civil hearing regarding an ex friend that I loaned money to. Considering she thought she was an attorney this day, I am very thankful I got Jason at the last minute. He is the attorney when it is needed for my business and he is now my personal attorney. Very confident, knows the law, doesn't give you false hope. I highly recommend

Jason represented me in a case which we won. Look for Mr. Black to be one of the top lawyers in the state. His drive, determination and competitve nature will take him to the top.

I retained the law firm of CPS in Suwanee because I was given a recommendation from a friend. Unfortunately this was the worst thing I could have done. Most time I felt with Mr. Black and he was incompetent to no end. It turns out that he has only been practicing law for a couple years. He misfiled, didn’t file correctly in my case and was a detriment to me and my family. My recommendation would not hire CPS and definitely not have Mr Black on your case.

Very unprofessional and uses name calling as her tactic instead of case law which judges don’t appreciate. I was embarrassed. Doesn’t listen and only thinks about money. If you enjoy looking like you hired someone from an advertisement from the side of a bus then she is your girl.

I used attorney Austin-Gatson in a lawsuit when I was sued. I was really upset and scared about it. I consulted her and she directed me on how to deal with the matter. A fair resolution was reached and I would use her again.

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.
