Going through a divorce was very difficult . I did not quite know what to do and felt lost and confused. Luckily I found Stefanie . From the very beginning she was very sweet and helpful. Her entire legal team was wonderful. Joana was very helpful and very knowledgeable. If you are looking for an honest lawyer who is always willing to go above and beyond, Stefanie is the lawyer to hire. She is extremely talented and her legal team will guide you through the entire process. I am exremely thankful to Stefanie and her team.

Together Dustin and Tina compliment each other exceptionally well and my final product left me feeling very confident in my planning. Aside from that, they are great personalities and quite a bit of fun just to visit with. Highly recommend.

My husband and I are very grateful and appreciative of all the hard work Cruz put into my husband's case. We were recommended to him by two people and from the beginning when we first met him he showed how smart and knowledgeable he is about different types of cases. Through it all he thoroughly explained and taught us the laws so we would understand every step of the way. I know more now than I knew before. He was great at answering my calls and if he couldn't he returned them right away and answered all of my questions. He is very kind, honest, and always treated me and my husband like family. I could tell he truly cares for his clients. My husband's case was a high case that would have gone to trial but Cruz was able to prove his innocence and get the case dismissed. Thank you Cruz for everything you have done for us, especially my husband! I will always recommend you to anyone looking to hire a lawyer. My husband can now breathe knowing he has his life back and we can now move forward.

Mr. Cruz Cervantes is a very responsive, dependable, and professional Criminal Defense Attorney. He has over 30 plus years of experience and communicated the process that I would go through from the initial consultation visit, then throughout my entire case. I made several phone calls to Mr. Cervantes throughout my case and he always took the time to answer all my questions and address any concerns that I may have had. He made sure I understood all the options available to me and what my rights were. He worked hard to always review and follow through on every piece of information that he was given so that we would be ready to defend my case in court. Mr. Cervantes kept his best interest in me and worked to get my case dismissed. I highly recommend.

I cannot express enough gratitude for Sheridan's exceptional work as my attorney. When I faced a serious charge that threatened my long-term career, Sheridan’s expertise and dedication made all the difference. Even while on vacation with her family, she stayed engaged and accessible, often answering calls and messages outside of regular hours and using her personal cell phone to keep me informed and supported. Her tireless efforts led to the charge being dropped and rejected by the prosecutor, a result that truly saved my career. Sheridan’s commitment and professionalism went above and beyond. I highly recommend hiring Sheridan for any legal help, as her extraordinary support was truly remarkable.

Sheridan Lewis is a name that should live in infamy… for being a tornado of creative ideas and supportive help in a convoluted justice system capable of eating innocent people alive. Or maybe the criminal justice system is the tornado and Sheridan is a tornado shelter. Either way, know this: if Sheridan is your advocate, you will get the best advice and support possible. She can’t make magic happen, but she knows how to navigate rapids and help people feel comfort through the stress. Here are some qualities everyone should know about Sheridan: Sheridan can work in Dallas or Collin County, and she KNOWS HOW TO REACH OUT AND BUILD RELATIONSHIPS with people (including prosecutors). Apparently, so much of this criminal justice process is about making connections with people and trying to work within the system. That makes sense, but knowing when to contact, what to ask of prosecutors, and how to be nice but insistent in a way that builds credibility makes Sheridan feel like Gandalf (that’s a super smart wizard to you non-Lord of the Rings people). She just knows what to do, who to contact, and what is realistic. Sheridan is REALISTIC and HOPEFUL. She also “takes every bite at the apple” to help exonerate clients (meaning SHE TRIES EVERYTHING). We talked to a number of attorneys one of which was horrible and still has a five star review. Most of them told us that the most we could hope for was to settle something we could accept. I was not about that, especially because we are innocent. Sheridan had a different approach - she said we will ALWAYS try to appeal to good judgement at every stage. She was right. Our case was dismissed because of her positive outlook, her detailed work, her encouragement, and her advice. Sheridan PRIORITIZES PEOPLE and cares about her clients as humans. Our first lawyer never called us back. I know that they get busy, but never? Sheridan is responsive and communicates well. Just be up front with when you want to chat, and she and her associates will schedule Zoom calls or meetings. Sheridan THINKS STRATEGICALLY and EXPLAINS PROCESSES. With each step, Sheridan laid our game plan and then explained the what ands why. I know more about all this CJ process because of her careful insights. Sheridan is a funny woman who is considered by many in the field to be a top attorney - has impressed many and she will impress you. If given the opportunity, she will make you laugh as she guides you through as well as can be expected with this strange stuff. It’s nice to know that normal people who have a sense of humor are also available as effective lawyers. If you are looking for a criminal attorney, I promise that Sheridan will not disappoint.

Consult with Sheridan Lewis before you hire an attorney. I was falsely accused of an unspeakable crime and had no clue how to defend against such an awful allegation. How does one prove that something never happened, after all? Being referred to Sheridan was by far the best thing that happened! When I sat down to take a polygraph, the examiner told me he didn't know if I had done anything wrong YET (implying he would after the exam). He quickly added that what I had done right was to hire Sheridan Lewis. Truer words were never spoken. Sheridan's expertise is unmatched. She truly is brilliant. Her intelligence, years of experience, excellent communication style, and fighting spirit are just what you need no matter how serious the allegation against you. Sheridan offered excellent advice and helped us remain both positive and realistic in our outlook. Moreover, Sheridan treated us like we were her only client – taking time to talk with us, hear our concerns, reassure us concerning the process, etc. She treated us with dignity and kindness despite the seriousness and awful nature of the false allegation. Sheridan stands out from the other attorneys with whom we had consultations. You want and need someone willing to fight for you. Sheridan fights for her clients and for the truth! Here are two specific examples. First, bond conditions required me to wear a monitoring device. Other attorneys told me it would be approximately nine months before it might be removed. For several reasons, Sheridan thought we could at least ask the court to remove it. Thanks to her tenacity, the court ordered it removed after only two months – long before any other attorney said they would even try. Another example was the stellar defense package she and her team assembled. Several other attorneys said the odds of success were too low and they did not spend time putting a package together. Fortunately, Sheridan said we should take every opportunity to demonstrate my innocence. We knew nothing was guaranteed but felt comfortable that we were in as strong a position as possible going into the grand jury because of Sheridan and her outstanding team. The grand jury found no probable cause to indict the case and I was never charged with a crime. Before hiring Sheridan, other attorneys said the best outcome we could hope for was a plea deal. The moral of the story is this: do not hire another attorney until you've met with Sheridan. She literally saved my future because she was willing to do what was right and mounted a robust defense against false allegations. There are not words to adequately thank Sheridan Lewis for all she did on our behalf. We are eternally grateful!

My hopes are that you’ve taken the time to read my review of Mr. Khawaja. What this man did for my son was way beyond my expectations! I was completely filled with fear after my son was arrested for a felony charge along with a DUI. I’m telling you now, if you or your loved one has been charged with any type of crime this is the lawyer to hire! He got the felony completely dismissed along with no probation, no fine and only a few days in county jail for the DUI. I am being completely honest when I say don’t hire a different attorney, hire this man, he is absolutely amazing at his job and will shock you with his results. I am so grateful to him and want anyone and everyone else in the Houston area to not confuse themselves with the never-ending list of attorneys out there and call his office. You won’t regret it for one moment. I am so thankful for being referred to him and want others to know how competent he is. From the bottom of my heart thank you Mr. Khawaja, you saved my son from a 2-10 sentence in prison!

I was a student in Houston and unfortunately got charged with misdemeanor theft in July 2014, but didn't find out until I moved back to my hometown in the Atlanta area. As an accounting major, I REFUSED to handle this case without an attorney. I called other attorneys at first, but I honestly didn't feel comfortable hiring them. I'm very picky and definitely wasn't going to just hire any attorney. I came across his profile on Avvo and was impressed because reviews are very important. I was 100% CONFIDENT in hiring Mr. Khawaja. He is very HONEST and kept it 100 with me. As a young African-American lady, Mr. Khawaja truly understands how hard it can be for minorities in society, period. He could tell that I was extemely nervous talking to the judge but was still able to let me know that everything was going to be okay. He was able to get me what I wanted which was for me not to get convicted for my theft charge. If I was to ever get in any legal trouble in Houston again (God forbid), I would definitely hire him, no doubt. He gave me a taste of my own medicine by letting me know that I have an attitude problem and that it needs to be fixed and I appreciate him for that because that means that he really care about his clients. He desrves 10 stars for his expertise and professionalism.

Thank you for saving our boy! He is a great kid with real mental health issues and Mr. Khawaja was just a super professional. Thank you so much Mr. Khawaja. No one wanted to hear us out or let us explain what problems we have been having with our boy but Mr. Khawaja listened and teamed up with our sons doctor to help get my son reinstated on the felony probation he violated 3 separate times after being guaranteed to be revoked with TDC time per our first retained misinformed counsel. I retained Mr. Khawaja from a recommendation from our priest and he passionately advocated to the judge our position and against all odds the Judge reinstated the probation and amended the conditions of the probation to account for my sons mental health issue. People like my son slip through the cracks and sometimes become felons because of cheap and lazy incompetent lawyers. Mr. Khawaja made me happy to pay his fees and because of him my son will not be a statistic! Mr. Khawaja showed super attention to detail and his confidence comforted the entire family through this stressful ordeal.

Jason Snell and his firm are the single reason we were able to recoup any money from our builder when we ran into a contractual disagreement. Without him, we would have probably not only lost our house, but also all the money invested in it. Through smart application of the law, Jason and co-counsel Lance maneuvered us into a legal position to get the only positive outcome possible. Their entire office is great with regards to communication and keeping their client updated, while also setting realistic expectations. If we will ever need a law firm again, we will not look any further than the Snell Law Firm. Philip and Arlene Adrian, Georgetown TX

Mr. Adamo came highly recommended from a prominent Houston lawyer. He is "the lawyer that lawyers hire". He successfully had my charges dismissed and so I also recommend him now. I was arrested and charged with a felony when a dog sniffed my car and found a few edibles and a THC oil pen. This was in small county in west Texas and my chances of dismissal did not look promising. Mr. Adamo and his team were able to get the felony charges completely dismissed.

Without a doubt Joseph was by FAR, the most reasonable and the most trustworthy lawyer I spoke with in El Paso. I ran around for WEEKS searching for a lawyer who cared about myself and my case not the money and that was what Joseph did. I’m in the military and had an AFV Case. Joseph was able to get that case dismissed. Not only did he work with me financially but also personally. I would meet with Joseph and a big part of managing clients is managing their expectations and I couldn’t have had anyone handle it in a more professional and caring way. If you have any sort of charge and you are in the Military and care about your career, I can honestly say that Joseph is the person you need to work with. He gave me paperwork so my chain of command could know what I was doing was legitimate as well as updating me constantly on my case. If you have a legal matter that needs assistance in any way shape or form you can put your trust in this man whether you are a civilian or in the Military. He saved my career from a prematurely ending. Joseph if you read this, I wish you a fruitful career because your commitment to justice and defending clients is true. Any future clients take this information and run with it.

My truck was recently profiled by new addition to the Tomball police department. I received 3 violations and also missed my court date. I found Michael Stoll through a car club forum. He sent a letter to the court to reschedule the date. I met him for the first time in court and he had one violation dismissed and the remainder fines drastically reduced to $40 with no record. I was stunned, called his office and immediately made payment for his services.......I will definitely use him again and would definitely recommend him to others.

Having Mr. Stoll represent me was the best decision I could have ever made!! I received a traffic citation for speeding after not having a traffic violation in over 10 years. I have a CDL so I knew hiring an attorney would be expensive but I knew it was imperative that I do so in order to try to keep the violation off my driving record. I met Mr. Stoll in court while he was tending to another client. I told him of my situation and he agreed to represent me. A month later I received another traffic citation for speeding. Concerned, I reached out to Mr. Stoll and told him about the additional citation. His words and confidence put me at ease. We went to court and he was able to get both traffic violations dismissed. His attorney fee was more than reasonable! If you are faced with a traffic violation don’t go to court alone….hire Mr. Stoll!

He acted like it was his life on the line. He worked long, long hours and got most of the charges dismissed. An over-zealous DA was no match for Mr. Livingston. He knows the law, back and forth.

I had called around to a bunch of lawyers that kept pushing me off to someone else because they didn't want to take my case with so many parties involved. My husband's friend referred us to Hughes Law Firm. I knew after the first phone conversation that this is who I wanted to represent me. Mr. Hughes and the office staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. They took all of the stress off of me. Their compassion and communication was nothing short of excellence. I would definitely recommend to everyone.

Mr. Brasher is an absolute professional and I highly recommend his services. Facing a criminal charge in Harris County, Texas- Hugh initially discussed the facts of my case with me and I immediately got the sense that he was not judging me. Mr. Brasher is professional, well connected, and extremely knowledgeable in criminal law, dismissals, and court proceedings. He is punctual, precise, and will always be there for his clients (as he is for me). Don’t delay! retain Hugh Brasher if you are facing criminal charges.

I called several lawyers in Brazoria County. Most of them took my name and number. A couple of them returned my call but gave me little to consider. When I called Sandy she immediately pulled the public files and thoroughly reviewed the situation. She told me what she thought was the best course of action. Her attitude and her compassion seemed real and I hired her right on the spot. Thru the entire ordeal Sandra was available to answer all our questions. Thru phone and text Sandra was always honest, direct, and most importantly she always returned calls and texts immediately. I can't tell you important that was. The previous court appointed attorney would take days and even weeks to get back to us. What I learned was never use a court appointed attorney. And if you need legal help make your first call to "Sandra Oballe". When we were looking at a year jail time Sandra got time served !!!

All I can say is Sandy is worth every penny. She is a straight shooter gives it to you honest and is there every step of the way. Not many attorneys actually care about there clients but she does. She is fierce and fights in and out of court.

I can not say enough about Sandra Oballe. I called her early Sunday morning and she answered my call when others did not.

She works fast and had her plan together to get the best results for me and my family member. I will definitely recommend Sandra Oballe to anyone whom wants fast service, stayed in touch with me every step of the way and the end result was in our favor. Highly recommend Sandra Oballe.

Greg Terra was an exceptional lawyer who provided invaluable assistance with my DWI case. He thoroughly explained each step of the process and ensured I was informed about upcoming court appointments via email. His assistant, Allison, was equally helpful, offering clear guidance on what I needed to do and where I needed to be for court. Greg was not only knowledgeable and supportive but also approachable, even during the most challenging moments of my case. Thank you Greg and Allison.

Being accused of a criminal case is something that marks your life forever. Not only does it affect you in the legal way, but it can also have an impact on various aspects of you life like your employment, immigration status (like in my case) and it can be emotionally and financially stressful. A few months back, I was involved in an altercation with my now ex-husband. Police came and arrested me for domestic violence. I was devastated. I made the decision to hire Richard for my defense and I am glad I did. Him and his team were very responsive to my questions and concerns. Given that my case affected my immigration status, Richard was helpful in coordinating information about my case with my immigration lawyer as well. His attitude towards my case made me feel like he really cared, and gave me peace of mind. I knew what had happened was unfair and I was willing to go all the way. I am thankful to have taken the advice of Richard and try to fight my case until the end. We managed to get a positive result. CASE DISMISSED. If you are going trough a tough time, hire a lawyer, and Richard is the best choice! Ser acusado de un crimen is algo que puede marcar tu vida para siempre. No solo te afecta legalmente pero tambien puede tener un impacto en tu vida laboral y tu situacion migratoria (como en mi caso), Tambien puede ser emocionalmente y economicamente estresante. Ace unos meses, yo estube involucrado en un altercado con mi ex esposo. La policia llego y me arrestaron a mi. Tome la decision de contratar a Richard para mi defensa, y me alegreo de haberlo echo. El y su equipo contestaron a todas mis preguntas y preocupasiones. dado que mi caso affectaba mi situacion migratoria, Richard fue muy efectivo en communicarse con mi abogada de inmigracion para obtener el resultado mas favorable. Yo sabia que lo que paso fue injusto y estaba dispuesto a llegar hasta las ultimas consecuensias. Me alegro de haber tomado el consejo de Richard y pelear mi caso hasta el final. Al final mi CASO fue DESCARTADO por el Fiscal. Si estas pasando por un momento dificil, te recomiendo al abogado Richard. El es la mejor opcion, Todos en su oficina incluyendo el, hablan ESPANOL.

Every step of the process was easy and concise with Mr. Carrizales. His team kept me informed along the way, and let me know of anything that occurred with my case as it happened. He was also able to get me a great deal, which was very nice. Overall I would recommend Mr Carrizales to anyone who finds themselves in an unfortunate situation, or is in need of some help or guidance navigating the law.

I have recently referred a good friend to this law firm for assistance on a personal injury matter. The results were beyond what we were expecting and Paul and his team provided top notch representation. If you are injured in a traffic accident or know of someone needing representation for a criminal offense, call Paul and his staff at the Batrice Law Firm. They are professional and diligent in their representation and will fight for you with your best interests in mind. Initial consultations are free, which is a bonus.

Contacted Paul’s office with a sticky domestic situation seeking legal advice & guidance. Everyone I interacted with at the firm was supportive & responsive. Paul met with me the same day & helped me. He didn’t charge for the consultation & his guidance saved me & my family a lifetime of regret. Words can’t do justice to the quality & spirit of Paul’s guidance. I’m deeply grateful & truly impressed.

whether you are like me, with multiple charges, or facing a very unfortunate DWI of any level you are in great hands with Paul. He's aggressive when necessary and kind and understanding all that same time. I was full of anxiety, panic and uncertainty and Paul was able to provide a sense of comfort and positivity regarding my case. I've known a few people who hired Paul for DWI's and all of their outcomes were favorable. I wouldn't trust my future with any other lawyer.

I was falsely accused of egregious professional misconduct under the Army’s SHARP program. Due to the notoriety of SHARP in the current command climate of the Armed Forces, that false allegation resulted in me facing not only an other-than-honorable involuntary termination of my military service but also irreparable and irrevocable harm to my professional career. The opprobrium of being labeled a “predator” presumed guilty of false sexual misconduct and the subsequent isolation stemming from the Army’s stance of ‘guilt by accusation’ in matters pertaining to SHARP showed my family and me a new level of hellish fear as we felt the weight of the Department of Defense smothering our integrity, honor, and livelihood. I was referred to Colby Vokey by a trusted friend, and that referral changed our lives. Mr. Vokey told my story; the truthful story. He provided encouragement and support and continuously stoked the will to fight back against the injustice of a system designed to protect victims but that was being weaponized against me. Thanks to Mr. Vokey, I was exonerated of all charges, including an overturn of the “founded” SHARP allegations and subsequent administrative actions, and I was vindicated. If you are reading this, searching for the best military attorney for your case, stop here. You’ve found him.

When you are facing an opponent with the power of the US government behind them, you absolutely need a lawyer/warrior like Colby. The prosecution has unlimited resources, shady investigators, & journalists which can leave most in a state of hopelessness but hiring Colby leveled the playing field for me. His leadership and expertise during my trial is THE reason why I'm home now, raising my family, and not languishing in a prison cell for years. If you are involved in a serious legal issue, HIRE Colby. He will see you through!

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.
