There are but a hand full of people in my life that I can say have changed the course of my life. Deborah Moss is one of these people. I was placed under arrest for DUI after being caught sleeping in my vehicle and since I had a prior DUI at a minimum I was facing a couple of weeks in jail at a maximum upwards of 9 months. I was terrified, I had just graduated law school and was about to take the Florida Bar and having this arrest on the books absolutely devastated all of my future plans that I had worked so hard towards.
Since this was not my first time hiring an attorney my wife and I began an intense process of seeking counsel through interviewing lawyers, reading reviews, word of mouth, you name it. After some time we came across Mrs. Moss and we were impressed by everything we saw and heard. From the beginning during our initial consultation she was extremely honest with me as it pertained to what I was facing. She told me it would be an uphill battle but that she would be there every step of the way (and boy was she!!)
After over a year of attempting to strike a deal with the state we were left with no other choice but to set a date for trial by jury. If you have never been through such an experience I can tell you it is terrifying. The entire process can be quite overwhelming and there are so many factors that can contribute to a verdict either going your way or against you. Mrs. Moss knows this, and she made sure that I was a part of every decision that we made as it related to my defense and when it was something I did not understand she always took the time to explain it to me, I always knew what was going on with my case and what I needed to be doing thanks to her.
As for the trial all I can say is wow! Her years of experience shined through during every part of the trial. Whether it was jury selection or her taking apart a police officers testimony on the stand she was nothing short of remarkable. Watching her during the trial brought a comfort to me that I had not felt since this all started, I knew that nobody could defend me better that she could. She fought for me as if I was her own family, and when your going up against the government which has unlimited resources to hire expert witnesses, subpoena officers, etc. you need someone who is going to take the matter personally and that was exactly what Mrs. Moss did. After two grueling days of testimony, exhibits, 10+ witness, the matter went to the jury and within 15 minutes the verdict was back, Not Guilty.
Mrs. Moss is the consummate professional not only would I use her again in the future but I would recommend her to my closest loved ones. If you are looking for an attorney that is going to fight on your behalf with the same vigor that you would defend yourself with, then Deborah Moss is the lawyer you have been looking for. Whether the matter is working itself through the pre-trial process when attempting to strike a deal with the state or when there is no choice but to go to trial Deborah Moss is an expert in the entire legal process. Given how stressful the entire legal process can be you will always have the satisfaction of knowing that you have the best of the best in your corner. My family and I will forever be indebted to Mrs. Moss for what she did for us, this an attorney that does not back down from a fight!

Debra was able to help my son out of a jam with his drivers license. He was charged with a DUI, and a high speed. Between Debra and her assistant Bonnie, we were in communication each phase of the proceedings. Our outcome was the best possible scenario. Debra was able to have the speeding ticket dropped, and the DUI charge reduced to a reckless with no points. Debra also took the time to answer all of my son's phone calls that he had concerning his driving privilege and possible outcomes for his future.

We're glad we found Atty. Leduc. My son's case would have been dumped into the deep without any chance of seeing the light. The initial lawyer we hired is just interested of what he gains.
Atty. Leduc digs deeper than what is presented and will do everything in his power to protect and defend you.
I love this guy.

atrick is an amazing attorney. He took on my husbands case. He managed to get a 20 year sentence down to really no jail time at all. He fought for us when no one else would. I would recommend him, if you want an honest guy he's your guy. Me and the kids thank you Mr. Leduc for everything you are doing for my family. I know God is in control of the outcome, and he's working through you to bring him home to us as soon as possible

I looked into 'word-of-mouth' referrals friends/people told me, & found Haydee Oropesa in one of those mail flyers, I liked her, had a good feeling about her. My instinct was good about our first phone conversation & I was sold after our meeting at her office that lasted over an hour and I enjoyed immensely all her activist success stories proving shes a real & true fighter in court for her clients. In the end, the state was afraid to go to trial & dropped the DUI charge to a non-criminal infraction of "careless driving" & a fine. No jail, no probation or house arrest. A+++ if you want a REAL FIGHTER, you won't be disappointed with Haydee Oropesa!!

Facing up to 9 years in prison, we hired Haydee for criminal defense. She was diligent in all aspects of our case and explored all options. She is extremely responsive, always answered all my calls, day or evening. That was a huge plus. At the end of all of this, no prison time, but rather community control. I would recommend Haydee and am very thankful for all her hard work on our case.

If I could give Eilam 10 stars I would. Eilam was the second attorney to represent me in my 2nd DUI case. I wish I would have hired him from the start. He represented my husband in a DUI arrest last year and won it quickly. He represented my sister in a drinking and driving accident where he got that thrown out as well. Over a long and difficult 2 years, Eilam got me a dismissal through an appeal. It was THE BEST outcome for my case. Eilam will fight for you and work his hardest to win your case for you. I would not recommend anyone else. He has the knowledge, care and expertise. He is aggressive in court but so caring to his clients. He returned phone calls and emails same day and answered any questions or concerns I had. Thank you Eilam. My family and I are forever grateful for all you have done for our family!

I am probably the worst client she's ever had. She's handled 3 cases of mine, and got 2 closed as soon as she can, other one hasn't filed yet but she's handling it for me already. I was on PTI for 12 months, yet she got me off of it after 4 months. She's always on top of everything, she lets me know what's going on, and what I need to do during the process. I don't know what I would do without her.

I hired Lori to help me with a FBI investigation. Agents approached me and asked if they could speak with me. They never explained what they were investigating, but it was obvious that they did not have my best interest at heart. Therefore, I explained to them I would not be speaking with them and that my attorney would be in touch with them. I retained Lori and she jumped into action contacting the FBI and the U.S. Attorneys Office to determine the reason behind the FBI contact. We are waiting for the next steps and preparing to defend me. I could not be happier with Lori's representation thus far and highly recommend that you retain her to represent you.

Charles Arline's law firm gave me swift, first class treatment every step of the way, from the first call to getting the result desired in the case. Charles clearly knows the law and has the experience to back it up. I can’t imagine going through this situation without Charles Arline’s law firm. I felt guided and understood at each turn in the case. This is the second time I’ve relied on Charles to fight for me. I’m impressed by his results each time. He makes the impossible, possible…with ease. He’s honest, has has my trust, and over delivers in service. I have no hesitation recommending Charles Arline.

Michael represented me on an old financial matter that was bought by a third party collections agency. They tried to intimidate us and threaten us with no real grounds for a claim by their company. Michael advised me as to the plan of action and strategy of defense. Throughout the process he was very good about keeping us updated on the case and if I had any questions he answered them quickly and informatively. I highly recommend his services to anyone who is looking for legal advice or representation.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about Russ and everything that he has done for me. I called him up one day, completely unsure of what I was doing with my case, my story, and SafeSport.

After I was injured in an automobile accident, I was unsure what to do. I was hurt and afraid. I was referred to Mr. Pawlowski by a friend that had used his services, previously, with positive results.
From my first telephone call, Mr. Pawlowski's office was responsive to my needs and addressed my concerns. They took the time to answer each of my - many - questions and provided me with the reassurance that I so badly needed. From the beginning, they explained how my case would proceed, and then they guided me through the process, step-by-step.
Throughout our relationship, my case manager and Mr. Pawlowski's entire office made me feel like they were working for me. They were always there for me - as my advisors, my advocates, and - by the time we were done - as friends.
In the end, by following Mr. Pawlowski's advice, I was able to obtain a very favorable settlement from the person that hit my car and hurt me.

Phenomenal criminal defense attorney. Has great knowledge of criminal law and procedure. Judges like him and prosecutors respect him because of his smarts and integrity. I hired him for a a complex situation in federal court. He immediately took charge, the prosecutor was surprised by how thorough his investigation and work was and dropped the case. Hope I never need him again, but I wouldn't go to anyone else. Class act and very intelligent and approachable.

Marie is an exceptional human being, and the greatest lawyer you will ever find. When our house flooded over two years ago, we didn’t know what to do. Our house was destroyed, insurance denied our claim, my newborn baby was ill from the water/mold damage, and I was lost. It was such a dark time. I didn’t know where to go, what to do, or who to talk to. All I knew is that I needed to leave my home to keep my child in a safe environment, and that my house needed to be completely gutted and rebuilt. But where to begin? How could I afford it? Why wasn’t insurance doing what I paid for? I didn’t know how to answer ANY of those questions. Marie was like a knight in shining legal armor. At no upfront cost, she not only went to bat for me against my homeowner’s insurance, but she also helped me navigate where to go, who to talk to, and in what order to start tackling the demolition/reconstruction of my house. She was there with my family every step of the way. She communicated, even if there was nothing to say. She got angry with me, she got angry FOR me. She fought for us where we couldn’t, and NEVER gave up. It wasn’t easy and it was a very long road, but Marie knew our worth. She put us first always, even if it meant putting herself on the backburner. Now over two years later, we have finally moved back into our finished home, received a check from the insurance company to cover the costs, and finally can look forward instead of backwards. There are not enough words to communicate my sincere gratitude towards Marie – but I will never stop singing her praises.

Marie, I thank you again for the excellent work you did for me and my family. She saved me over $10K in unnecessary expenses.

Stars are not made, they are born... and from the shadows of a formidable, prominent and successful Tampa law firm emerges a red giant. Now at the helm of The Jose Barreiro Law Firm, Mr. Barreiro has risen to his own part of the sky to shine.
I have had the pleasure to know Mr. Barreiro personally as well as having him represent me and my family as our attorney. A class act and a gentleman as an individual... Savvy, intelligent and aggressive yet subtle as counsel. Competent as any and all in trial and proficient in the research of law. He knows law. Period.
In addition, Mr. Barreiro is well respected by his peers and colleagues as evident in every courtroom he enters. That is an intangible that even the best attorneys lack. Remember the name...
Just recently I referred him to a friend for a friend whos situation was very bleak. In short, he saved his client's life.
I'm thankful as everyone I've every referred but Please Don't Take My Word For It.

When I was involved in an auto accident in November of 2021, I hired Mr. Johnson to represent me and I could not have been happier, more impressed, and comfortable with the representation I received. As a practicing attorney, I had expectations for my attorney, but Mr. Johnson exceeded all of them.
The advice I was given was stellar, and Mr. Johnson explained every aspect of my case to me in a constructive, educational, and professional manner. In addition, Mr. Johnson was an effective communicator and was very reasonable and consistent in his communication. I had an outstanding experience!
If I am ever injured again, I am calling a firm that cares about me, my family, and my case: I am calling Mr. Johnson.

Dina worked with my wife and I when an unfortunate incident occurred and we had some outstanding traffic violations for toll roads. Mrs. Sheridan gave me a fair quote and did not charge anything additional to the wage we agreed upon. She was professional throughout the entire process and kept us both informed as things progressed. Having a great deal of experience working with attorneys both professionally and personally, it is definitely refreshing to be able to reach and receive timely responses from hired council.
I would highly recommend Dina Busciglio Sheridan for any traffic offense cases.

Mr. Fischetti came highly recommended and rightfull so. Aside from being a phenomenal attorney, Mr. Fishchetti alleviated my concerns and assured me the most aggressive representation possible. He not only honored his promise, but exceeded my expectations by getting my case dismissed and even getting me the immediate documentation I needed to move on with my life and finally put this nightmare behind me. Thank you Daniel Fischetti, I am forever indebted to you.

Choosing someone to represent you can be a very scary process. After inquiring with a few lawyers, I hired Marcia to represent me in a custody suit. The details of the case were complex and confusing. I have to say with much gratitude, I found her assistance invaluable. She is sharp, thorough, and worked hard for me. She was compassionate, always available. Also, clear and prompt with her communications. Most importantly, ensuring my child's best interest was/is protected. I would highly recommend Mrs. Locke. I could not have asked for a better lawyer, and I could not have did this without her. Thank you!

There are attorneys, and then there’s Ms. Locke. She’s one of a kind. I highly recommended Ms. Locke. I had a very difficult divorce case. Ms. Locke was not the first attorney with whom I had spoken. I had interviewed several attorneys and was very frustrated and didn’t know what to do. I knew I had the right attorney when Ms. Locke not only listened but heard me. She was upfront and honest about all the challenges in my case…believe me I had a lot of them. She is intelligent, knowledgeable and leaves nothing to chance. Ms. Locke worked tirelessly and tenaciously. She was accessible and easy to talk with. Ms. Locke has a huge heart and really cares about you not only as a client but as a person. She had my best interests at heart and would tell me truthfully even when it was not what I wanted to hear. I am so much the better for having hired her. Knowledgeable, caring, honest, truthful, tenacious…what more can I say.

I had a particularly strange divorce case being my now ex was in prison at the time. Ms. Locke was recommended to me by a friend who had her in their very difficult divorce case and described her has brilliant, tenacious, and had a big heart. Ms. Locke was that and so much more. She was so kind and understanding to me in my situation. She is intelligent, she didn't sugar coat anything, and always responded quickly to any questions I had (and I had a lot). She took my case to heart and moved it along as quickly as she possibly could but never forgetting any details. I always felt like I was in the loop with every step that happened. I would very much recommend her to anyone. Ms. Locke is brilliant on every level!

Ms. Bartilucci is a marvelous and a well-educated lawyer. I hired her two years ago because my husband violated his probation. Not once, but three times I hired her to represent him. He was facing five years. I was speechless when she got him placed back on probation.
Again, Ms. Bartilucci is a fantastic lawyer and never doubts you or acts as if she is better than you like some lawyers do. And for that, I recommend her to anyone who’s in need of an exquisite lawyer.

I have used Mrs. Bartilucci twice now and both times I have been more than happy with her services. I found her on a google search, contacted her and she was able to meet with me immediately. She goes above and beyond to make sure you understand everything about your case and explains anything that needs to be in great detail that everyday people can understand. She keeps in regular contact and updates you every step of the way. I do not live in FL anymore but if I did and ever needed legal help again, Mrs. Bartilucci would be the first lawyer I contact

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.
