Farid is the best. I can’t thank him enough, he is always on time, he responds quickly, finds solutions to obstacles and difficulties. He recognizes right away the needs of others and reaches out to lend a helping hand. He has been my lawyer for almost 7 years. I definitely recommend him to anyone that needs representation with a divorce, child custody, immigration or a business. You will not regret it.

Farid Moghadassi and his team have exceeded my expectations in every possible level. Their communication is excellent, they kept me in the loop at all times and most importantly they actually care about my case...because they treated me like a person instead of like a file.

The Fact that Farid takes your case with a passion is huge. In this day and age, people tend to care about themselves and don't take others personal life into consideration, he was very understanding, knowledgeable, respectful, patient, and in control of the situation. He lets you know not only through his words, but through his actions, how hard he fights for you. No small task or detail is to small for Farid. He fought for a long time to get me the best outcome I could have for my situation. He is respected in the courtroom, And when the agreement was made, he didn't let any prosecutor toy around with my case. I will recommend Farid to anybody that has a situation come about that needs the most attention and someone willing to fight for the best outcome.

Detectives was coming after me in two counties and keep arresting me for warrants with my old lawyer. Ms Baharan got me a Not guilty when we had a jury trial. She was the one I trusted had my back and she always was there when I was upset and didn't even like her at one point because they wouldn't dismiss the case. She said the only way was with a jury trial and she told the jury my story and the truth. I love her forever and trust her for always having my back. She is real !

Steve is a fantastic and trustworthy attorney. Throughout our personal injury case, he was extremely communicative, took his time in explaining things to us and explaining what to expect, and was always only a phone call or email away. He is also a very pleasant person and often felt more like a friend than our attorney, which was nice when dealing with an otherwise unpleasant situation. We were happy with the outcome of our case and couldn’t have asked for more from Steve during the process. I highly recommend him and have heard nothing but good things about his criminal defense practice, as well.

A fellow attorney and business colleague recommended Mr. Shellist to me. At the time I was facing a serious allegation with potential career-ending ramifications. Upon contacting Mr. Shellist, he immediately met with me, discussed my concerns, reassured me and promptly mapped out a legal strategy. Steve was genuine, intellectual and analytical. He exudes confidence with his experience, knowledge and abilities. Throughout my ordeal, Steve remained steadfast, responsive and supportive. In doing so, he delivered the best legal defense counsel I could imagine. Steve was prepared to take the case to trial, however, I also realized he had open and effective communications with the DA’s office. Ultimately, Steve obtained a full dismissal of my charges. I could not have produced such an efficient and completely effective outcome myself, even though I consider myself an accomplished legal professional. Mr. Shellist’s Team simplified the process, supported me and consistently settled my anxiety. They were with me every step of the way, committing all details to memory, intimately knowing the issues, adapting their strategies and accurately predicting the outcome. I could not have remained emotionally stable to the end or unscathed of a criminal record without Mr. Shellist and his Team. I have since referred fellow professionals to Mr. Shellist. I always receive positive compliments for these referrals, as these individuals are most grateful for the effective counsel Steve delivers. I cannot score more than a 10, but Mr. Shellist’s Firm goes to 11!

In my informed opinion, Steve is the best criminal and personal injury attorney in Houston. I have trusted him with many important matters and he always delivers the best results possible. His fee structure is quite fair given the his experience, expertise and his dedication to efficiency. For as long as he is practicing, he will always be my go-to for these types of matters. Also Steve is just an all around great guy--very friendly and very personable--which is atypical for this area of the law. Can't say enough great things about Steve.

Mr. Casey was extremely helpful with our child custody case. I never imagined that I would get the results that I did as a father. We were in great hands from beginning to end and I don't believe that we were just another case. He truly cares for my children and their well-being. Mr. Casey makes you feel like you're working with a friend, not a lawyer. I couldn't have had a better experience

He is an honest Godly family man. He is non judgmental. He goes above and beyond to advocate for his clients. We are truly blessed to have him as our Attorney. We would highly reccomend him for any legal issues you may have. He is sincere and caring as well. On a scale of 1-10, he is definitely 20+!

I have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Casey and utilizing his services during one of the roughest periods of my life. Mr. Casey has represented me during a rather emotionally turbulent divorce proceeding. He has always demonstrated the qualities of integrity, skill, and professionalism beyond reproach. He is a man of intelligence who is skilled in his craft as a litigator. I happened to have one of those "he said, she said" sort of scenarios with rather significant allegations. Mr. Casey was not phased by the task at hand. He was the best champion for my case I could ever ask for. His attention to detail was impeccable, and was able to illustrate for the court the inconsistencies in the testimonies of opposing counsel's witnesses. Mr. Casey has two rules: be kind and polite to his office staff, and be honest and forthcoming with information. He will not judge you. He WILL be your advocate. However you must realize he cannot effectively do what he needs to do without honesty from you as a client. He cannot know to much about your case. Even those parts which you might be ashamed of or embarrassed by. Mr. Casey has been a champion for my cause, a confidant, and a source of stability for me when my life was chaotic. He has held my hand as I wept both tears of joy and frustration. He has helped to not only improve my legal situation, but helped nourish my soul as well. He gave me one of the greatest gifts I have ever received; he reunited me with my children.

If you, a family member or a friend are in need of legal assistance, I highly recommend Keltin VonGonten! He may appear young, yet his experience and expertise spans far beyond his age. Keltin has been preparing cases for senior defense attorneys/icons in Texas Criminal Law for at more than 10 years. He has learned from the very best, yet adds his own amazing ability and foresight to determine just the rights steps needed to resolve your legal issues while achieving the very best possible outcome. Keltin goes above and beyond what you may expect from an attorney, treating his clients with the upmost respect and dignity while outlining the specific actions that must be taken in order to minimize any unpleasant results. I can describe him in two words, "Keltin Cares" and he is more that a defense lawyer, he is a friend to you and will treat you like family.

We were running out of answers on representation of attorneys for our son on criminal charges as we had previously hired various attorneys with them only taking money and wanting an easy way out by him taking a plea even though he was innocent . It was so bad that one of his attorneys had our son arrested by advising him not to show up to court. When we finally met Mr Brian Powers, he was up front with his fees and told us that he would make sure that justice was done for our son. He did not only keep to his word , but showed up to every court date and kept us informed of the process. All charges were dropped for our son. We highly recommend Mr Powers. He is knowledgeable, assertive and knows the law and makes sure that you as a client are at ease. He also saw the struggles our son was going through financially so he devised a payment plan for him. Don’t hesitate to hire him!!!!

I hired Mr. Powers for a DV/ assault case involving my husband's girlfriend. It was a very long and stressful time for legal and personal reasons. He and his staff are efficient as well as friendly. They really make you feel like you are their only client. Mr. Powers is a very intelligent and personable individual and for an attorney, an asset to have on your side. Against great odds, my case was dismissed. I very highly recommend Mr. Powers and his staff. I hope to never have to use their services again, but they will always be my first choice and first recommendation. Thank you. Mr Powers and your staff!

Hiring Brian was one of the greatest decisions I’ve made! He demonstrated strong work ethic when he immediately started working on my case as well as frequently updated me on the case developments. I think what helped my decision to hire Brian was the fact that he quoted me a really reasonable price while other lawyers where asking for double or even triple for the services. While working with him, I never doubted that my case isn’t being handled. I was confident in his work and his ability to bring a positive result. I greatly appreciate his hard work!

My son was arrested and charged with Aggravated Robbery and Felon with a Weapon cases based on a lie. The police arrested him with ZERO evidence other than lies told by an acquaintance. Sad to say the DA accepted charges based on nothing but the say so of a known liar and criminal. Seems like the cops round up whoever and like magic - “Another case closed!” NOT. Then the judge held him at NO BOND because of his past convictions. Wood convinced the DA’s to dismiss it but in case they wouldn’t, Wood kept asking theme to go to the grand jury with it so he could set it for trial. Took a month or so but finally both cases were dismissed. I told my son to pick his acquaintances better but sometimes even your own kids need to learn some lessons on their own.

I was charged with assault causing bodily injury - family violence in Guadalupe County after my ex husband called the police during an argument we were having. He was punching and strangling me, so I hit him with a rock to get him off of me. Since he was the one that called the cops and reported the incident, it ended in my arrest. So I found Christine Del Prado and met with her upon my release to review my case and see if this was something she could help me fight. Christine and her husband met with me and went over my case and assured me that I would be in good hands, and that we would fight this case. And that she did! She did not back down, she said we would push this all the way to trial when dealing with the prosecutors in Guadalupe. And she had the case fully dismissed with in 3 court dates. No trial needed, last court appearance not needed. If convicted or any sort of court ordered probation or supervision would have been required it would have prevented this charge from ever being removed from my record. So we need a not guilty verdict or a full dismissal, which she produced. I could not have asked for a better attorney on my side. She was amazing, diligent, and had great communication with me during the entire process. I would only recommend her. Ever. Thank you Christine for everything you have done for me and all of your hard work!!

Ms. Haywood was by far the most experienced, aggressive and capable lawyer around. Trust me, we spent weeks interviewing many lawyers. We chose Katheryn because frankly she came off as no nonsense and eager to get justice. Her demeanor put my family at ease. That meant a lot to us because we needed a lawyer who was not going to promise us one thing and deliver another. She was honest and up front from the beginning. We needed someone who could call a situation what it was, had contacts all over Collin and Dallas county, and decades of dealing with these type of cases and difficult people under her belt. She had all of that and came with a true passion for our case. We could not have asked for a better attorney in the darkest hour of need. If you need an attorney, look no further.

A year ago my life was turned upside down. I was charged with an extremely serious crime and knew the burden of proof would be on me to prove my innocence. I was absolutely lost, I had been arrested at my work, I was embarrassed and in jail and needing quick and expert help. My wife had contacted Bail Bonds man Pat Kinnard and he referred me to Attorney Katheryn Haywood. Immediately after our first consultation I knew that she would be on my side. She picked me up when I was at my absolute lowest and carried me through the entire process. She was a helping hand, a shoulder to cry on and a sympathetic ear to listen. She literally saved my life, a year later and the felony charges were dismissed. I will never be able to pay Katheryn back for what she did for me and my family. Now for the first time in 12 months I can go to sleep without the fear that I may lose everything tomorrow and I have her to thank for that. Thank you Katheryn.

Efrain was very professional and what I like to call “ The Goat” he took care of business. After going to court for almost 1.5 yrs he always made sure I knew everything was going to be handle in the best way possible. And finally it did, my DWI was dropped to a lesser charge and I was able to keep my DACA. I don’t just consider Efrain and his staff as my attorney, they became family because they understood how overwhelming and nerve wrecking being put in this position was and they made sure to facilitate everything. His staff was always one call away so any questions I had they were answered quickly. Thank You so much Efrain..

Steve and his team will to fight for you with truth and reason. When you are crying happy tears in mediation thinking I never thought it could be this good. You know why you hired Steve. Divorce is one of the most stressful situations some people go through in their lifetime. You do not want to be in the hot seat. I felt Steve’s team listened to my concerns and even helped me deduce the best compromise for my child and myself. When you walk into a room prepared to go to court... Imagine leaving that same room coming to an agreement on custody and property where you have the upper hand on both. You have just finalized your child custody issues. You are in the best position for you and your child’s future. You’ve been given the assets you deserve. You didn’t need to compromise on either because you had Steve and his team on your court. And you’re so grateful you’ve come to this point. I appreciate the opportunity to work with you as I know with another attorney I would old have folded too soon. Thank you to Steve and his team for all your help.

I contacted and retained Jeremy with The Love DuCote law firm as my attorney. I was going through a divorce and facing a Protective Order against me , yet myself having been the one that was assaulted by my wife at the time. She was actually arrested and charged with Family Violence with Bodily injury Misdemeanor. When I explain my situation, he knew right away how we were going to fight this. He was able to get the protective order against me denied and granted divorce-disposed. I was being falsely accused and the protective order could have jeopardized many things for me, yet he helped my fight back resulting in a great outcome. I couldn’t have done it without the help of Jeremy and his staff, they updated me promptly with any information I needed and were with me every step of the way. Friendly, experienced and very knowledgeable firm. I definitely would recommend Jeremy DuCote to family and friends.

Mr. Ducote was my court appointed attorney. I went into his office very emotional because I was being sued by my ex-husband. I knew that I couldn’t afford a lawyer of his caliber but Mr. Ducote took the time to listen to my ramblings and reassured me that I would be ok. In the end, I didn’t go to court because Mr. Ducote convinced my ex to drop the case. He and everyone in his office were very professional and always treated me with respect. He was a blessing.

Had a phone consult with Mr. Guest on how to proceed in a criminal citation w/a prior conviction. He laid out a few different options I could take with or without his legal assistance. He was thoughtful in the advice he gave and did not pressure me any direction I decided to take. He genuinely cared about the resolution of the case. Because of his consult I enlisted his services to handle this matter and would recommend him for any one else dealing with a possible criminal situation. Especially if it involves complexities.

I went through an eviction process in JP Court and represented myself, (I am the Landlord). I was successful, ( I thought), and judgement was granted in my favor. Instead of moving out, tenant filed an appeal, to have the case re-tried in County Court. Tenant claimed COVID protections, CARES Act protections, among many other things, and was successful in getting an appeal granted. I learned real quick that because of the times we were currently experiencing, that this was going to be a complicated, uphill battle. I hired the Guest and Gray Law Firm to take this matter over. Scott Gray was great at getting this case together and ready for court. Robert Guest took it before the Judge and tried the case. What had been a months long horrible situation for me, was finally over, when these guys got the case before the Judge. Judgement was awarded in my favor and tenant had to vacate. These people are great, charged an extremely fair price, and did an outstanding job. Getting a case like this before a judge during these difficult times is a huge task. Getting a positive verdict even more so. Thank you Scott and Robert!

Erik Smith was quick to get the ball rolling after I was hit by an uninsured driver.

I’ve been a client for Mrs Linda Corley for over a year now fighting the biggest case of my life and without a doubt I believed in her guidance and trusted in her ability to defend me. I had a really tough year in 2022 and made some really poor choices and with that came a lot of accountability and consequences. However, in the end those poor choices is not what defined me as a person and Mrs Corley recognized that from day one and advocated for me more than I knew anyone ever could. Today my cases are resolved and I literally got the best overall outcome that I could from the situation I was in and the judgement I was facing and I thank God that I decided to choose Mrs Corley and her team to take on my cases. Thank you for everything you’ve done Linda. My family and I couldn’t be more happy with having you and your teams support through that tough journey. God bless you and I pray you continue to do the great work that you do!

I would first start by saying that I literally prayed to God and asked for a female attorney that would truly care and have my best interests at heart then I found Linda Corley. For starters I was left in jail to rot by a paid well known firm when my wife told me that she had found an attorney that may be able to help us, because I also told my wife that I had prayed for a woman attorney that cares about their clients, and that was Linda Corley. In the beginning of my case she first had to correct a major issue that my hired previous attorney had failed to do and she did just that. Then she went on further to not only handle my case with honesty and swiftness, she coached me on how and what to do so that I wouldn't further damage myself or my credibility. Once my judgement was rendered and she had done her job, I had to rehire her again for a different issue and immediately she jumped right in and went to work. I can't give details but Mrs. Corley and her firm has been absolutely incredible to me and for me. Regardless of where I go, I will definitely recommend Linda Corley and her firm to anyone that I come in contact with who needs a firm that will truly have their best interests at heart and who will quickly start working to get results for their clients. Again, Linda Corley was a true blessing from God to me and I am completely grateful for her and her firm's service. Definitely 5 stars from me !!!!!

James or Jimmy has worked on a numerous of my cases with amazing outcomes. One thing that stood out to me was how understanding and down to earth he is. During one of my cases which was a couple years ago. I was a reckless and broke college kid and he arranged a very reasonable payment plan for me. To this day I can’t thank him enough for that . I’ve known James close to 4 years and I know this review is long over due. But James is someone who cares more about the outcome of your case than the money involved, which is very rare these days. I laughed reading the reviews talking about how well known he is at the courthouse. Which I can tell you none are fabricated. In my case was able to meet the judge in private and the first thing the judge says to me was “ You are lucky I like this guy”. From then on I knew this was my guy. Thankfully I don’t have to reach out to him much anymore but all I can say is this man right here changed my life.

James is a personable lawyer not looking for your money, he works for you and your needs. I've hired James and had a successful verdict in my case. James is one of the most knowledge lawyers you will meet. James has taught classes to officers on sobriety test. James has worked on both sides of the law as he was a cop. Who would you want to better retain then a guy that has worked on both sides. I recommend him to anyone. I have referred James on more than one occasion. James is your guy if you want your verdict taken personal, he fights to win every case.

Fue un alivio encontrar un abogado bilingüe donde realmente sentí que se preocuparon por mi situación por yo soy del Sur de Texas. Sus atenciones a los detalles me brindaron tranquilidad en una etapa difícil y complicada en mi vida. El abogado Albarado es muy preciso, justo y sumamente hábil para negociar con la otra parte y llegar a un arreglo donde todos estuvieron de acuerdo con los términos sin tener que llevar el caso a los tribunales. Definitivamente recomiendo encarecidamente al Abogado Albarado a toda la comunidad de Denton y sus alrededores que estén en busca de un buen abogado defensor porque el luchara por sus derechos hasta el fin.

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.
