Kiele Pace and her legal team at her firm are very thorough and knowledgeable in their defense and managed to get both of my domestic violence cases dismissed with out me making any type of plea. They went above and beyond to dismiss my cases, and are willing to take on stubborn prosecutors who don't like to lose.

Heather Barbieri gets unbelievably GOOD results for her clients. She often wins acquittals and gets cases dismissed, even when the case doesn't look good for the client. Defense attorneys are not miracle workers, but she's as close as it gets. And she's honest and does not charge too much, only what is necessary to defend her clients. If you want great results and you are in need of criminal defense, I strongly recommend Ms. Barbieri.

Heather and her team did a dynamite job with my case. I can't believe I have a brand new lease on life now because of them. I was reluctant at first, even though I had a really good feeling about them from my initial consultation. I'm so grateful I went all in. It was worth it. They are just so passionate and dedicated and have a great strategy for winning.

I hired the Barbieri Law Firm because she was simply the best attorney. She refused to stop fighting for me and my family in the midst of a very difficult and overwhelming case. Thank you. You literally saved my life (my freedom!) and I have a second lease on life and a second chance thanks to the incredible work and not guilty verdict Heather and her team did for me. I highly recommend hiring the Barbieri Law Firm and Ms. Barbieri.

Jim Sharon Jr. is very honest, professional and a great advocate to have on your side. Began helping me with my case as soon as i sat down. Always returned emails promptly, would highly recommend! Very pleased with outcome on DWI case.

Mr. Rudy represented my son and he did such an awesome job. He is very sympathetic to my needs and concerns and had very good things to say about him. He was able to get some charges forgiven for my son and an amazing plea deal. Overall, very professional.

19 Aug, 2023 by Donnie

I have no words to express our gratitude ! After another attorney had all but ruined my faith in the legal system , Rudy jumped in to save the day ! He worked tirelessly to get me the best deal possible in a short amount of time ! He truly cares about not only his clients but their families as well . He answered all of our questions in plain language that we could easily understand ! I had a felony and a misdemeanor and on both was sentenced to 10 days , which I ultimately served 6 hours before I was released fully ! He’s very personable , easy going and just generally a good person . He will fight for you as if he was fighting for his own . I’ve never encountered an attorney like him and won’t likely again in the future ! My appreciation is unmatched ! Thank you Rudy !

When I initially called I was new to this. I was told exactly what to expect. They kept me informed through out the process with no surprises, no hidden fees. Experienced, straight up and professional. If only everything was this easy!

We called Justin Coquat of Traffic Ticket SA regarding a speeding ticket for our teenage daughter she received in Bulverde, TX. We do not have much experience with traffic ticket lawyers, but we felt comfortable with his firm the first time we called them for help. The front office is friendly and professional. Our calls and/or emails were answered every time. Justin is a true professional, kind and respectful. He definitely cares for his clients and their situations. Never did we feel he was in it just for the $$. Justin was able to deliver results far beyond our expectations for my daughter's citation. Thanks, Justin! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

15 Apr, 2018 by Andy

Justin Coqat has now successfully dealt with 2 speeding tickets of mine (85 in a 45) and (80 in a 40) that I've received within the last 3 months. Justin is truly a pro and I'm quite frankly amazed that I still have a license. Funny guy as well. HIGHLY RECOMMEND these guys to fix your traffic tickets! World class service!

I'M HAPPY TO SAY I hired Brett Pritchard after a Free Consultation in March of this year regarding a SAPCR Suit in which I filed. During that consultation I felt that he felt my pain and trusted Brett and his firm to do the best job that they could do for my case, which I understood could have been very lengthy and very costly. I cared for a child for over 11 years that I had no legal rights too. After the biological parent decided she wanted her child to live with her, and after the child told me they didn't want to go, I had to do something, so I filed a SAPCR (Suit Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship) afterwards I needed an Attorney!!! Everyone in his office felt my pain, well at least that's how I felt, from the Receptionist, to the paralegals to the Attorneys, everyone was warm, kind, polite and extremely Professional. Brent Sykora was my Attorney from the law firm, he was very helpful, always available if I needed to speak with him, keeping me advised with important information regarding my case. The paralegals are the best in responding to your messages and uploading any and all documentation. I could log into the portal anytime of the day or night to check my case information, which included everything from documents to billing. Whenever I would visit the office, the most wonderful stylish lady greeted me with a smile and kinds words. Without making my story into a book, I am now Joint Conservator Manager of my Sweetheart. We are now able to see each other again without anyone saying otherwise. Through Mediation the opposing party finally agreed to Joint Custody to avoid Trial, we were indeed ready for Trial!! I know who will have my business should I need to seek legal counsel again. In the best interest of the child is the part that most adults forget, it's not about us, it's about that precious child and keeping those he loves in their life. Do your research if this happens to you, clearly you have rights in the State of Texas if you cared for a child for a six month period regardless if you're related to the child or not, but you have a 60 day window to file paperwork or you'll forfeit your rights and lose any chance you have to remain in the child's life. You MUST Seek good/excellent Counsel to ensure that you are Represented accordingly. Thank you Attorneys, Brett Pritchard and Brent Sykora and the total Pritchard Law Firm. You guys took a lot of stress out of my life, and I will surely hire you again, should the need arise!!

Back in December right before what was supposed to be my babies 1st Christmas with myself, my husband and his brother and sister the unthinkable happened my at the time 4 month old son started acting lethargic and seemed to not want to wake up, me having went to medical school and having a diabetic daughter and a son who was premature before my youngest baby I had a feeling that he was in some sort of distress so we rushed him to the hospital approximately 10 minutes before arrival I noticed my son having trouble breathing so I started to administer CPR upon arrival to the hospital once we got inside I ran him to the 1st medical person I saw, we were rushed into a room in the midst of all of the chaos my son was taken to another room while waiting a nurse comes to tell me my son had transport to the main hospital downtown Houston due to the complexities of his issues but what we thought was happening couldn't get any worse it did we were told my son had a skull fracture, perforation of the bowel and a perforation of his esophagus which was done by a Dr at the hospital. Still not knowing what was going on I got in the ambulance with my son and upon arrival to the downtown hospital I was greeted by 2 police officers while my husband was greeted by a police officer at our home so he could meet my mom with our other 2 children we were both questioned and we were always open and honest with Dr's, police officers who we spoke to and regardless we were look at as suspects. In 10 and 6 years of having 2 other children I have never had ever been accused of abuse or neglect of my children after my kids were illegally removed from my custody I called Bradley's office and during my consultation with him he already started working on my case, our sons were born on the same day so he could understand the pain I was feeling after my son had an 8 hour surgery and I only got a week of time spent with him at the hospital before I was blocked by the hospitals CAPS team we were in complete misery and during the short amount of time that we thought was going to never end Bradley fought for our family even driving from Fort Worth to Dayton to be there when we needed him and he was always in communication with me and my husband he obtained my son's medical records and got to work and by March 31st I had all my kiddos back in my home. I would highly recommend Mr. Scalise he always believed in our family and he took on one of the biggest hospitals in the Houston area and called it like it was, ultimately CPS never could provide anything to the contrary of abuse or neglect our case was very complex. I had a sick little baby who needed his family and the hospital took that time away from us but he's back along with his brother and sister just in time for his 1st birthday. My son is happy, healthy and thriving to the fullest and if it wasn't for Mr. Scalise and his help I don't know if we could of found a better attorney to handle our case not just the legal side but the emotional support and compassion that I received from his office. We are so grateful for Bradley and we thank God for me finding you and making our lives back to what they were. Also you still check on us even though we won our case and that is how it should be some attorney's just collect money and don't care after but Bradley is still in contact and we will always be grateful for his hard work. Thank you and God bless you and your family Bradley

Brad and his team were instrumental in my case dealing with a family issue. He was able to get a result that exceeded my expectations. If you need one of the best attorneys in Tarrant county Texas Mr. Scalise is your man.

I said I'd shout from the rooftops how awesome Brad and Velma, and his firm are, but this review will have to do. 1. You've found yourself in a situation, and you're looking at attorneys, right? If you've found this page, look no further. No, seriously, look no further. You've found the bulldog. You've found Saul. You found Him, or whatever you want to say. Brad is not only an incredible attorney, his cost is negligible compared to the protection, diligence, and dedication you'll get. 2. Did I mention his fees? They might be beaten (unlikely), but I can tell you that not only are they reasonable, they're downright competitive. Get aside that, and Brad is your right hand man. I can't say it enough, his service is Top Notch. 3. If you're unfortunate as I, with someone breathing down your neck (in my case, Denton Co.), don't let anybody, including yourself, tell you that you don't need counsel. I was getting harassed and intimidated, daily, with the real threat of losing my daughter. And then I did the First smart thing I could've-Retained Brad as my attorney. He was able to get them to cease communication with me, and channeled it through him. They're tone Really changes. And if you're smart, you'll see for yourself. 4. His paralegal, Velma, and him will not judge you, make you feel judged, or allow others to judge you. You'll have to be completely transparent, but in doing so, Brad creates a personalized approach/plan for your situation. I never felt too ashamed to be honest with him, or Velma. And being honest is how he was able to get my "Situation" or case, closed, which is what You want, right? 5. If you nodded yes to any of my questions, you Need Brad, and his firm, yesterday. If you want the best outcome (not settling), you Need Brad. If you want a whip smart attorney, who is concerned about You, why are you still reading this, and not calling his office? Of my own volition, if you're having a similar experience, and have questions for someone that's had the anguish and torment you're likely experiencing, email me. If you're wanting help to get out of it with a favorable outcome, CALL Brad Scalise.

Mr. Tommy Hull exceeded my ‘attorney-expectations’, with his integrity, honesty, and due diligence. Mr. Hull's representation exuberated the up most professionalism and keenness. Mr. Hull believes in true justice, and it shows! He is the only upstanding, honest, and sincere attorney I have ever hired. In short, Mr. Tommy Hull never promised anything he could not deliver: He never lied to me. Mr. Hull is upright, trustworthy, and effectively clear. His loyalty to his clients proves his 'no smoke and mirrors' approach. When hiring an attorney, your future is in their hands. Mr. Tommy Hull's reputability and sincerity helps to take the weight off your shoulders. With his efficacious plans and effectual results, you will not be dissatisfied. Tommy is trustworthy, detailed, and out to obtain justice for his clients. His adequacy for justice has been proven: ten-fold. I hope to never have to hire Mr. Hull for another criminal offense. However, I will always keep him on retainer for future recommendation, and counseling purposes: regardless of the legislative capacity.

Tommy Hull was our criminal defense attorney for a DWI. He was very responsive and gave his honest, professional advice. His team was extremely professional and easy to work with. Highly recommend Tommy Hull for a criminal defense attorney!!

16 Oct, 2023 by Anonymous

Tommy Hull and his paralegal Kenna are awesome! I picked Tommy as my criminal defense attorney after an officer made a false DWI allegation against me. As a former prosecutor, Tommy is incredibly knowledgeable and knows how to get things done; he’s a straight shooter and always made time to meet with me when I had questions, and was able to give a realistic guesstimation of outcome right away, but never sugar coated anything(he tells you things you don’t want to hear but need to). Paralegal Kenna is also awesome, she was super responsive, and knowledgeable giving answers she knew on the fly, or reaching out to Tommy when needed. Tommy is a little more pricey than some options in the region, but in my opinion a very worthwhile investment. He had everything taken care of within 7 weeks, and while he told me that I could expect to lose my drivers license; he ended up having the ALR case dismissed too… So I never lost my license, which statistically is something that lawyers in these cases are only able to achieve less than 5% of the time. But I think that’s very much consistent with who he is… I’d guess Tommy is easily within the top 5% of lawyers capability wise.

My ex-wife gave me an extremely contentious divorce through constant harassment, stalking, false allegations, false police reports and defamation. Orlando and his experienced team were able to quickly stop her harassment and also get my divorced filed and finalized in less than 120 days. Their client care and response time to calls/emails is excellent. If you have a contested divorce with assets Orlando is your best advocate in family court.

I just wanted to share that mr Beau Fiegal was the most caring and professional attorney I have ever met! He fought for me soo viciously! Thanks to him I am sole conservator for my children. I have a pending felony something I’m not proud of and on top of that my ex tried accusing me of abuse let me just tell you he got the abuse case dismissed! He was able to prove that he was laying!!! My children are safe and relieved thanks to Mr. Fiegal . I highly recommend him to anyone struggling with their abusive ex.

I hired Orlando at the beginning of a very messy custody dispute. Orlando fought on my behalf from start to finish. I got results far beyond what I initially hoped. Now, I get to raise my kids every day!! He is direct, honest and very quick. He communicates expectations and recommendations clearly. I will contact him right away if the need ever arises!

Mark had an assault case dismissed, we never even had to go in front of a judge. I'm not very familiar with the process, but I feel that Mark used some unconventional methods that worked very well in this case. He is on time and easy to work with, no legal speak you won't understand.

I'm so happy how my case turned out. I was accused of a embarrassing crime. Mr Ambrosino found how the police did a bad investigation and arrested me. Tho there was differences between myself and Mr Ambrosino I believe he was doing what was best for me I still give him 5 stars because I know he worked hard on the case and was extremely confident on his defense of me. Plus his prices are fair and after my case was dismissed he said he'll give me a good price on expungement which I'll be back to work with him. I highly recommend Roberto Ambrosino!

Joseph Esparza saved my 18-year military career, but more importantly the dream of reuniting with my children! I am an officer in the USAF and hired Mr. Esparza as my Lead Defense Attorney when charged with serious crimes resulting from false accusations from my former spouse during a highly contentious divorce. I went to a General Courts Martial. Overall result: Full Acquittal!! If you are reading this, you too may be living this nightmare….there is light at the end of this tunnel, and Joseph Esparza will lead you there. I chose the word “lead” deliberately, versus “guide”, “get”, “show” etc. From the moment Mr. Esparza took my case, he took the role as if the Captain of a ship. He was empathetic to all my concerns, yet had the leadership to direct me when choices got tough. Perpetually confident from his decades of experience , he could “read the waves” and knew precisely which direction to go before anything became an issue. He also led the military counterpart to my defense team (who was exceptional). When I first met with Mr. Esparza, I said “I think you are the right guy for the job”, and his response was, “Oh, absolutely I am the right guy”. Not in a conceited way, but a humbly confident way. Joseph answers emails, texts, and phone calls promptly. He never gave me the impression he was too busy to hear my concerns. Even with my family, who were not technically his “clients” he promptly answered. Joseph was by my side through an investigation, preferral of charges, an Article 32 Hearing, referral of charges, and a General Courts Martial. Overall time, about 9 months. Steadfast the entire time. If you are seeking the absolute best legal counsel, whether military or civilian, LOOK NO FURTHER! Mr. Esparza is worth every dime….a drop in the bucket vs. what you stand to lose. I am willing to speak with you personally if Mr. Esparza desires to give you my contact information. I’d take any opportunity to brag about his expertise more.

02 Aug, 2023 by Anonymous

I cannot recommend Mr. Esparza enough. His professionalism and experience were instrumental in getting the two cases my son had against him dismissed. Mr. Esparza instantly instills a sense of calm and confidence and I knew we were in good hands after our first consultation. He was very thorough, kept me updated on the progress of the cases and was always available to answer any questions I had. I cannot thank him enough for all that he did for my son. Mr. Esparza is definitely a top notch attorney!

12 Sep, 2022 by Keith

I hired Joseph Esparza in 2020 to represent me in a General Court Martial. My maximum sentence was life plus 28. I was falsely accused of some of the most heinous acts a human being can do to another. Joe helped give me my life back. For over two years he worked with a defense team to clear my name. At all times he was professional, kind, respectful and unlike most attorneys, responsive in a timely manner. Joe helped walk me through some of the most difficult times in my life and I will forever be grateful. I was found innocent of all charges. Joe, you’re an amazing attorney and an even more amazing man. Thank you.

For almost a year it SEEMED like nothing was getting done, little did I know Mike and his crew were working diligently on my case the whole time. I admit my frustration was hi and sense of trust began to wax cold as I only talked to Mike a few times. Much to my surprise, Mike took care of his business on the law side and in the court room!! I was out waaaay before I expected and let me just say.....I was facing some big time... multiple felonies...habitual...anything that could go against me WAS against me...I do have to first thank the good Lord..but my hat is off to Mr. Magana and so is my jail uniform thanks to him!!!!! Hey! Hey! Now I know that didn't sound right...but you guys know what I mean!! "Ain't no pee-pee in La Onda!!" Quote from "Popeye" movie "Blood in Blood Out"....but y'all knew that to.

Mr. Magana was court appointed for my nephew. When people found out who we had as an attorney they begin to tell me how bad he was, how all he wanted was money and didn’t do anything for their case. Needless to say I was skeptical going in… although a very busy man Mr. Magana was passionate, caring and did what he said he was going to do! He may text you and say 32 min or when he walks by you he may give you a one min sign, his voice mail may be full or he may not return your call as soon as you want, but if Michael says imma get him out you better believe he’s a man of his word! We had the honor of watching Michael work at the court, he ran from one end to the other while on the phone with a client and being stopped by clients asking when are you getting to me. After that long day in court he would then go to his office after 5pm and see upwards to 20 people. Mr. Magana told us guys I’m going to get him out and after only two weeks he did Dec. 22, 2021 a Christmas miracle. My advice is not to listen to others, form your own opinion because ever case is different. But if Michael Magana says he’s going to do it I assure you that he will. How many attorneys will give you their personal cell phone number and let you blow their phone up and text them 24/7 and when you see them greet you with compassion and a smile. If I hadn’t t been a part of my nephews case I would have never gotten to meet a really good man, on behalf of my nephew, my family and myself… Thank you Mr. Magana with all our hearts.

Mr. Bloodworth was the best attorney ever. He helped me with a messy divorce and I couldn't have asked for a better attorney to help me get through a rough time. He's very thorough, he knows the law and when you walk into court with him as your attorney, he has a lot of respect within the court system. He is also blessed with a wonderful office crew. The whole experience was impressive, from the 1st day talking with him , down to the final day of court. Now, I'm constantly bragging on him and referring people to his office telling them they won't be disappointed. The whole experience with Mr. Bloodworth and his office staff was amazing, you just don't see that much these days. If you're looking for a great attorney ,Mr . Bloodworth is your guy and you won't be disappointed.

I cannot say enough about how wonderful The Bloodworth Law Firm is. Mr. Bloodworth represented my husband in a child custody case. His intelligence & class in the court room is astounding. We felt confident every time we entered the court room. The ladies at the Bloodworth Law Firm were very helpful & knowledgeable. Every time I called with a question, I received an answer almost immediately. I would recommend the Bloodworth Law Firm to anyone who needs an incredible attorney!

Mr. Bloodworth really cares about his clients and pays attention to all details of your case. He is highly experienced and board certified. I hired his firm to represent me in a high conflict custody modification as well as to execute my last will and testament. I would definitely hire him directly for any future needs. Thank you, Mr. Bloodworth for helping me during this stressful situation.

I was in a situation where I caught a senseless charge for a minor possession. I have never had a criminal record and didn’t want one now at my age. My lawyer went above and beyond to find other alternatives to this situation to avoid anything being on my record. I’m so grateful because due to the valiant effort, my lawyer was able to get the charges thrown out and the case has dismissed. Would highly recommend this firm to anyone

We were desperate and needed someone that would hear our small voice in a huge system. Mr. Gonzales came highly recommended. The professional staff helped us secure an appointment immediately. After our consultation, we knew this was the place for us and hired him on the spot. Mr. Gonzales is professional, personable, knowledgeable, honest, caring and helpful. He gave us his contact number and made himself available 24/7. Any time I contacted him, I always received a return call or message without delay. If he was not available for any reason, we would still receive a return call or message from attorney Christian Henricksen. These two attorneys are a true DREAM TEAM. He exceeded our expectations. He is not just an awesome attorney, he is an awesome person. If you have found yourself or a family member in need of an attorney, Mr. Gonzales comes with the highest of recommendations. Thank you for everything Mr. Gonzales.

26 Sep, 2016 by Josephine

I was referred to Mr. Joe Gonzales by a law enforcement colleague who had dealt with him several times while working cases at the DA’s office. I was given Mr. Gonzales’s cell number and calling him was the best decision I had ever made. My initial meeting and impression of Mr. Gonzales was that he was a professional and he listened attentively while I explained what had occurred that led up to my arrest and charge. He understood that I could not accept anything but a dismissal or an acquittal or I would lose my career and future goals. He advised me that he would be working with a team that included Mr. Christian Henrickson and that I would be getting two lawyers for the price of one. I struggled emotionally through a year and a half of court dates until the case went to trial. Despite all my fears, Mr. Gonzales and his team reassured me and I knew they believed in my innocence. When Mr. Gonzales goes into “trial mode” it’s amazing. His cross examinations of the prosecution’s witnesses and complainant were direct and strategically effective. The trial was very stressful for me and as we were waiting for the jury to return with their verdict after deliberation I will never forget how terrified I was and how Mr. Gonzales calmingly placed his hand on mine and smiled and said, “Do not lose your faith now.” He was confident until the very end and even when I had feared the worst he believed in my case. The jury came back very quickly with a unanimous decision and acquitted me of the charge. I will never forget what I went through to fight for the truth and I will never forget how hard Mr. Gonzales and his team fought for me. They were amazing and I felt so blessed to have them fighting in my corner. Joe, from the bottom of my heart I want thank you and will never forget what you did. I would recommend Joe Gonzales to anyone who needs a lawyer because I truly believe and know from experience that he and his team are the best lawyers a person can have. His integrity, experience, and knowledge are assets for anyone who needs a professional lawyer to fight for their case. I would highly recommend him!

I was very concerned about what attorney would represent me. I wanted and attorney that would they be fair and understanding to my case. I was driving up IH35 and saw a billboard with Joe Gonzales picture and phone number. I decided at this time I would like to schedule a meeting with him to discuss my case. My first meeting with Joe was professional and honest, he allowed me to discuss my side of the story without judgement. He listened attentively and made sure I understood the pros and cons to include the direction we should take to ensure I received deferred adjudication. Each time I was given a court date he was present and ready to go. Joe Gonzales met with the DA's office and negotiated the best deal for me. During the whole process I trusted Joe and he had my best interest at heart. Joe keeps you informed and he cares more about the client and the outcome. I appreciate all that Joe did for me and my family, he is one of the best attorney's in San Antonio. Thank you Joe for everything......your more than an attorney your a friend!

Handling my criminal case, Andrew was professional, calm, good listener, always available, and empathetic. Andrew fought for my best interest and achieve the best outcome(DISMISSAL). He came through for me to defend myself, whenever I need to talk to both my employers (Military and Civilian) jobs. He talked to my employers in other to save my jobs with there status and never allow me to miss a day at work while the case was ongoing, considering the fact that I work outside the state(Texas). Even though I was just a client, he took me as a family (Introduce me to his wonderful team(dad and other associates) who are also as excellent as he is). He will make sure I am always good, unnerves and remove my fears, even when he is so busy with other life activities. He(Andrew) fought and got me the best result of DISMISSAL, for a third degree felony criminal charge without any penalty or class taken, and achieve this result of DISMISSAL while facing tough DAs in the strongest criminal court in Texas. I highly recommend him for any criminal or related cases as your defense attorney. Trust me you are in GOOD hands and I am 100% keeping his contact details for family, friend and I.

I had a dwi case a few years back and he handled it very professionally. At first I was worried and anxious but after a few visits and phone calls he kept things calm and me informed. Andrew is a great person and lawyer! He also did amazing on my case with a very tough DA. He also was able to reduce things on my case very few people get and he was honest with what I needed to do!

I found Andrew online after getting a DWI. He put in so much time and hard work to keep me at a bare minimum sentence. He fought for me tooth and nail, and absolutely did not disappoint! He showed me guidance, compassion and that he was there to help me, and would not give up on me or my case. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone that is fighting a DWI case! He is very professional, prompt and just all around a life saver. Andrew was there for me and my family for any and all questions that we had and he's undoubtably the best. Thank you, Andrew!

Monica is a amazing lawyer she stuck by my side for 3 years and did everything she could to give me hope. I was looking at 40 years and today I’m free . I could not be more grateful for her and Joseph . She so such a great lawyer that even during my trial other lawyers would come in to watch her work and learn from the best . She is the best at what she does . Always calls me , emails, or texts me when I have any questions . She was a former judge , prosecutor, and now lawyer what else could you ask for in a lawyer besides someone who has seen and done it all especially when you’re life is on the line . I would recommend her to anyone she really is a fighter and will be there for you . A prime example of what you should expect when you hire a lawyer.

I was so blessed and fortunate to have Anthony appointed to my case. From the very beginning he was committed to ensuring I receive the best possible outcome, and he did exactly that. He advocated for me diligently and got the case dismissed in a matter of weeks. Throughout the entirety of my case, he was very professional, dedicated, knowledgeable and trustworthy. His unwavering support and guidance truly made a stressful situation 10x more manageable. Anthony has completely changed my view on attorneys. I would eagerly recommend him to anyone in need of counsel. 10/10 !!!

09 May, 2024 by Anonymous

Mr. Anthony was my second court-appointed lawyer for my case. I wasn't quite vibing with my first lawyer and he wasn't explaining to me my charge. The charge was for forgery. I didn't understand why I would have got a charged for forgery, Because I sold a vehicle that belonged to me to a dealership. When I obtained Mr. Washington, he explained to me thoroughly what my charge was and said he'll do everything in his power to help me. After several Court appearances, Mr. Washington ended up getting my case Completely dismissed. Now we will work on getting the charge taken off of my record. It is unfortunate that a bogus charge can be placed on you. And it still Goes on your background check even though it was dismissed, but Mr. Washington is gonna help me remove that.

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.

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.
