I was charged with a DUI and David was by my side throughout the entire process. The day after being released from booking, I was able to meet with David and go over all of the paper work and incident reports. Within a matter of days, we had a game plan going forward and David was able to execute this plan brilliantly in court. I am happy to say that after a long process of many months, David served justice by clearing my name from my arrest. Hands down one of the best attorneys I have engaged with and I highly recommend David to defend you and your rights.

Me Nassif is an excellent Attorney. He has succeeded in lowering my bond in a matter of a couple of weeks. Hard working, dependable, and he is a caring person.

Thank you , Mr Nassif

Ray is the best lawyer I've had, and I've had a few. He is well informed, punctual, and never misses an appointment or hearing. He's reasonably priced compared to most other attorneys. Ray has represented me for more than a year, and I wouldn't trust anyone but him to be on my side when I have to go to court, you shouldn't either.

I have consulted with Ray on two occasions. The first time I was looking more for advice . He was very forth coming and knowledgeable. I had never needed a lawyer before and was very apprehensive. He instantly made me feel comfortable and at ease. It turned out that I didn't need a lawyer at that time. Again, I found need of advice, and was back in his office. He was very helpful and caring but because I was not working at the time, I went with a court appointed attorney. Two times I consulted with him, never retaining him. He took the time to check on me and continued to care , even after I left his office. I pray I never need another attorney, but if I do he is the one I will call. A class act!

Mr. Hall has exceeded my expectations. My son picked up a drug charge and I thought he was going to get sentenced to some serious time. The first attorney we had didn't do anything for him, and I dropped way too much money on that guy. Mr Hall took my son's case and things started finally getting done. His office staff is helpful and knows what is happening when I call. They let me put half of the retainer on a credit card and took payments on the second half. He got my son a better deal. I wish I had called him first.

After creatively and competently negotiating an expunction, Mr. Garcia stood by my daughter throughout the lengthy process and ensured that everything was taken care of. Finally, she has emerged with a clean record and is able to move forward with her life. I fully credit Mr. Garcia with this best of all possible outcomes, and I hold him in highest esteem as an attorney and a human being. Many many thanks, Gus!

Mr. Garcia was recommended to me when my daughter was arrested on a first-offense DWI charge. Soon after our initial phone conversation, he went to check on my daughter and to reassure her, which was a huge thing for us in these uncharted and very scary waters. Throughout the confusing and overwhelming legal process, he handled matters professionally and with genuine concern for my daughter, serving as our focal point of stability and help. He made himself available at any time to advise us, and he unfailingly answered our questions thoroughly and accurately.
Best of all, he creatively worked with the judge to negotiate on my daughter's behalf. Make no mistake - there is no "free ride" in a matter such as this. But Mr. Garcia represented my daughter extremely well, and, after fulfilling the terms of her punishment, she will be able to go forth with a clean record and without damage to her career.
I recommend Gus Garcia without reservation. As the saying goes,"The proof of the pudding is not in the eating but in the second helping." When it comes time to work through the process of having my daughter's record expunged, he's the attorney I'll engage.

I have a low bar for lawyer integrity, and Gus completely changed that. He was honest, open and knowledgeable about all the options, very fair with his costs and payment terms. I think he actually cared about my case. He really went to bat for me.
And got it done!
I could not be happier with his service. Was so grateful I even baked him a pie.
I highly recommend this guy. If he's not the right attorney for your needs he freely makes recommendations.
My previous experience with most lawyers is that they are just greedy-get-my-money types, with no real concern for justice and no interest in your personal situation. Not Gus. He's the real deal.

Mr. Castillo is an excellent person to have representing you. He filled in for my actual attorney who could not be in court for me and I was awestruck. He attacked my case fearlessly and with strong conviction. He cared about my case and my situation genuinely. If I could give him another star in my rating I would.

Mr Miguel Castillo helped me with my criminal case. He got my case dismissed within three months of my arrest. He was there to answer all of my questions and walked me through the process. A year later I contacted him again to get the case expunged. Within four months it was. I highly recommend Mr Castillo.

Pack your patience. This fine gentleman has a way of getting things done, they take awhile... but the way he drags things out with the prosecutors keeps the leverage on your side. There were times I lost my patience with him, but in the end I was able to see that his strategy is purposeful and effective!

I met with Mr. Wojton regarding an issue with a car dealership and their unethical financial practices. He advised me that I could handle this matter on my own and went into detail on how to proceed. He also provided information regarding his services, if I felt I needed his assistance.
The free consultation and guidance proved to be worth thousands of dollars in cash and benefits to me! Thank you so much John Wojton :)

Mr. Wojton is an exceptional attorney. He has a wonderful sense of humor while still remaining focused on my case. He has kept me informed through the process. Although my case is still not completely resolved, I have every confidence in Mr. Wojton's ability to obtain the best possible outcome. I have recommended my best friend to him as well. Please, if you need bankruptcy or defaulted student loan help, call this attorney. I could not be more pleased.

Dal Ruggles represented me during a very tough time in my life. Not only did he significantly improve the outcome of my case, I also could tell he truly cared. He was always responsive and constantly worked hard to improve my situation and ensure I was getting the best outcome possible. I can say with 100% confidence that I received the best representation possible. Not only was he a fantastic lawyer, he also was an amazing help and influence on my life during that time.
Even after, he continued to follow up with me just to see how I was doing. He went above and beyond in every way possible and I hope anyone who is in a similar position that I encountered can have him in their corner. I highly encourage anyone who is needing a lawyer to speak with him as soon as possible!
Dal, thank you again for everything you have done for me!!

Dal has represented my child, who has struggled with serious mental illness and substance abuse, for the past eight years in the juvenile, municipal, and county court systems. His knowledge and dedication have been invaluable. At all times he has focused on obtaining the best possible outcomes, with great success.
Dal has not only navigated the legal system for my child, but also helped my child and ourselves (the family support) group connect with the social and therapeutic resources we needed. We will always be grateful for his professional ethics, dedication, and kind manner.

I've known Mr. Ruggles for approximately 3 years and he's been amazing at taking my various cases through the juvenile courts as well as district and county courts. I find him to be most ethical, works very hard on my behalf, and kept me informed of my various cases. In addition to being my attorney he gave me exceptional "life learning" advice. I hope I don't need him again as a defense attorney for criminal cases, but wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing a good lawyer.

Ms. Kathrine Reed handled my case like a true professional. She worked tirelessly to fully examine all the details and make sure that she was as prepared as possible. She always feels invested in your case, and that’s because she is. I found her to be an exceptional lawyer with a deep understanding of the law and a strong commitment to her clients. From the first meeting, she took the time to listen to my concerns and explain the legal process in a way that I could understand. She was always available to answer my questions and kept me updated on the progress of my case. Throughout the case she demonstrated a high level of professionalism and expertise. She was thorough in their preparation and provided me with sound legal advice at every stage of the process. Her attention to detail and strategic thinking helped to ensure a positive outcome for my case. In addition to her legal expertise, I found Ms. Reed to be compassionate and empathetic towards my situation. She took the time to understand the impact that the case was having on my life as a mother and provided emotional support when I needed it most. Overall, I would highly recommend Ms. Reed and Udashen Anton Law Firm to anyone in need of legal representation.

The first thing I noticed about Louis is how hard he works for his clients. He is very thorough and makes sure to explore every option for recovery. He kept me aware of everything that was going on with the case; I never had to wonder what was happening next or where the case was going. I really appreciated that he told me exactly what to expect; he was great at returning calls and keeping open communication. The best part is that my case came to a great resolution. I am confident in Louis' skills and would definitely refer him to family and friends. My experience was great and I'm sure other's will be as well.

Mr. Neel was recommended through a friend and has been a pleasure working with to spearhead my immigration process. Ivan was very honest and very comforting during our initial meeting. He explained clearly how the process would play out and any alternative options just in case.
He worked tirelessly on our case and always delivered on a timely manner. He is very intuitive and it shows how he manages any set backs. It certainly displays his mastery of the craft.
Although he does have a very demanding schedule, all questions and phone calls were promptly answered. He also has a very polite and knowledgeable assistant that always went out of her way to go further than expected.
Mr. Neel also has a very large network. This was clearly the case during my immigration interview. All the ladies in the office seemed to know his name and he even expanded on certain traits on each interviewer.
This was a big step for me and my family and Mr. Neel made us feel secure, comfortable and now a green card holder.

Christina is the best! My son was charged in Texas after moving there with his girlfriend. He is now coming home to work on himself. He had no family there as they moved to be with her family due to having a baby. Thinking her family would be supportive, they were not and things got out of control. Thanks to Christina my son will be able to get the help he needs as she was able to get our bond lowered and get him to be able to move out of Texas and come to live with me. Going forward he will still have to fly back. But I have complete faith in her she is a mom and she understands people's feelings. She has been communicative this whole time.

I was sitting in county jail feeling like all hope was lost with the other attorney that was on my case. I was going to the law library trying to file motions with no experience in criminal law whatsoever, and getting nowhere really fast. So when my family Hired Ms. Cockrell I was skeptical because of all my previous run-ins with lawyers. From the not answering calls to generally thinking their client is automatically guilty until proven innocent, But once I spoke with her (which was a shock in its self) I instantly felt confident in her ability. The difference to me was she genuinely cares for the client and wanted to fight for my innocence and refused to submit like most defense lawyers. She was helpful, understanding, and strived for the best outcome in my case. I felt it was worth it. Now I'm at home with family and its all thanks to Ms. Cockrell.

I hired Mr. De la Rosa after my first attorney had been suspended to practice law. I needed an attorney to present me for the final trial of my custody case that had been going on for 1 1/2 years. It was complicated as I was fighting for my granddaughter. He had less than 2 weeks to prepare and when we went to court it was as if he was my attorney throughout the entire process. I was blessed he was able to represent me in and I am forever grateful for the outcome. I would highly recommend him for representation. I just wish I had come to him sooner.

Mr.Ron Delarosa does not advertise.All of his clients are recommended by other clients.Mr. Delarosa is also a very well respected attorney in the court room.He helped me with my custody case.I was very satisfied by his professionalism in the court room. He is well prepared,and articulate with his statements.I found myself trusting him from our first meeting. Very easy going and approachable in a lawyer client setting.Yet intimidating in a court room. My family has used Mr.Delarosa as a family attorney and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a family lawyer.Along with an impressive reputation he has reasonable rates.His 15 yrs. of experience speak for him.He also makes it a point to educate himself on current law changes. I am grand-parent and Texas laws for grandparents are very confusing.He made it a point to research as much as possible about my rights. He put things into terms that made things easier for me to understand.I went into the courtroom well aware of the possibilities of my hearing.Mr.Delarosas demeanor put me at ease. Outside of the court room he is cordial with apposing attorneys. Yet when he steps into the courtroom he is confident and intimidating.Cool,calm,and collected! Respects others and is respected.His military experience is a plus.

Attorney Jordan is thorough, professional, kind-hearted and most importantly he GETS THE JOB DONE. From our initial consultation he was very considerate of my unique situation; As an out of state full-time professional student, my future was at stake for a crime that was completely out of my character and that would surely hinder my my career pursuits if convicted guilty. As a first time offender with so much on the line, Attorney Jordan fought my case and got it COMPLETELY DISMISSED. I took an 8 hour online theft course and that was it..NO FINE, NO COMMUNITY SERVICE.. just a class. I had high hopes when I hired Attorney Jordan but he has far surpassed my expectations. A case dismissal in Houston is rare; so, that alone speaks volumes. But to say the least, I truly believe that Attorney Jordan will do all that he can for the benefit of is clients, and not to mention, he was accommodating and affordable for my fixed income. Strongly Recommend!! :)

Attorney Brent Hill is like that one friend you have, who instead of telling you what you want to hear, tells you what you need to hear. If you are lucky, you understand exactly what I am talking about. This is a well-known quality of Mr. Hill within the Courts in which he practices, and when you walk into that Courtroom with Brent Hill by your side, your representation by him immediately carries that credibility, whether it be criminal or civil, which I can attest to, because I have had to experience both.
My representation by Attorney Brent Hill hasn’t always been easy. Because of his strong demeanor and directness, I even considered seeking out other council at times; but through it all, I came to understand and appreciate how lucky I was that I hadn’t been let go by him.
I’m now glad neither happened, because I currently retain the attorney I believe to be the absolute best legal representation a person can possess. Brent Hill forced me to become a better client, and in doing so he made me a better person, which ultimately led to better outcomes in both the Courtroom and in my life.
Brent Hill doesn’t sugar coat things, and you won’t always like what he tells you, but if you are willing to set aside your ego and listen to what he says to you, then I can personally attest to you that you are in the hands of the absolute best legal representation attainable.

We retained Brent Hill less than a week before our hearing. I am the mother of a special needs child, and was served to go to court regarding my daughters medical needs. My ex wanted to take all medical rights away from me. My daughter had a stroke at age 3 and has miraculous medical progress in the last 4 year. Taking me out of the picture as far as her medical needs and decisions would’ve been extremely detrimental to her health. We met Brent and retained him on a Thursday and our court day was the following Tuesday. We only had time for one meeting the night before court. With limited time and limited information to work with, he derailed the petitioner’s case. We are so so grateful to Brent!!!! I highly recommend him for any family law case. He is highly capable and intelligent. He clearly had a sincere desire to fight for us and the results are evidence of this!!!!!

Throughout a stressful suite that was delayed by the other party for years he was extremely helpful and easy to deal with. He always kept me in the loop and advised me well. Very honest, knowledgeable, and will certainly look out for your best interest.

I really have had some so so lawyers in the past. To be quite honest I had mixed feelings about having Ms. Lively as my lawyer. Because of my other lawyers I immediately wanted to pass judgement on Rebecca as well. Boy was I mistaken! I had completely given up dealing with the law and lawyers and here comes Ms Lively and knocked it out of the park. Her thoroughness, caring and know how has allowed me to essentially not be charged with a crime that I was doomed to go to prison for. I am so elated and amazed at how great and knowledgeable she truly is! I can't thank her enough and if you're looking for a lawyer that is bar none the best LAWYER I've ever seen, if you're smart you'll chose her.
I can't say enough great things about this lady! Rebecca thanks for literally giving me my life back!

At 43 I’ve had lawyers for a few things. Never had a real true feeling that they were working for me. Till I hired Rebecca. It was obvious she was working in my best interest. Rebecca is by far the best lawyer I have ever had, and one of the most genuine people I have ever met. Faith in the legal system has been restored by her and her alone. If you need a lawyer, and don’t hire her, good luck.

Going to court was terrifying to me. Mrs. Lively told me to trust her, that the state didn't have a case. She was honest, open and obviously knew what the best course of action we needed to take. Case dismissed! I would recommend her to any friend/family that needed an attorney.

I worked with John Hopping to request an order of nondisclosure for an old criminal record that was showing up on background checks. Although I had moved to another state, John and his team were able to handle everything without me needing to be there in person. They were great to work with in every step of the process - reviewing my case, filing the paperwork and fees, and getting the petition granted. They have excellent communication and everything was handled quickly and professionally. I highly recommend working with John Hopping.

I strongly recommend this firm. Not only are they reasonably priced, but they are wonderful to work with online and via emails. The firm has a clearly laid out workflow stream online that they update after each step of the non-disclosure process, so you always know what the status of your case is, and can watch it progress. It is very calming to always know the status of your case and the next step despite objection from the D.A.. Mr. John Hopping was extremely helpful and of the utmost professional in his assistance.

I hired John and his wife Courtney to represent me for my criminal case after interviewing 20 other attorneys. I mainly dealt with Courtney but would also speak with John on occasion. I really liked there online case file system so I was able to login and get updates. In my humble opinion, they went above and beyond what I expected. My charges were very serious and I was extremly anxious about the outcome since it would affect the rest of my life. I can't believe that through their tireless work that they were able to get me case dismissed. This was something that I did not believe was even possible. I thank them everyday for all the work they did on my case and there is nothing I will ever be able to do to thank them for what they did short sharing my experience. I am sure that this doesn't happen in every case but it did in mine and it was because I hired the right attorney. Thank you Courtney for returning my life to me. A gift you will never fully understand how much it meaned to me.

All I can say is you get what you pay for!!!! Of course we all think and believe that nothing is more extreme or as important as the crisis we're experiencing... and Lopez Law Firm always made me feel like a top priority and handled each concern and problem that arised with immediate attention. I was reading previous reviews and some complaints about price... however, I feel there is no dollar amount that could justify the wonderful job Mr. Lopez (and Mrs. Lopez) completed throughout my stressful process. Complete professionalism and organization and constant reassurance. I'm so very pleased with my experience and the outcome of an unfortunate situation. I can not thank Mr. Lopez enough for allowing me to sit so confidently during my hearings and watching him gracefully put a compulsive liar in his place and get me everything I needed and deserved. Thank you so much Lopez Law Firm!

My son was in a very bad situation. I called many attorneys who gave me no hope. Lopez was my last hope and even though my case was full of twist and turns he faced them with ease. My son is now home with me and doing well. It could not have happened without Jaime and Cathy (his paralegal).
It was a lot easier to face with you at my side. I am glad you explained to me everything going on step by step.

I can honestly tell you he is looking out for the best interest of the child/children in custody cases. His experience and expertise in court, mediation, and trials was a blessing to our family. Anthony was quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had throughout the custody process. His straight forward honesty, his ability to listen to our concerns, and his professionalism is out of the park.
You want someone you can trust to represent you when you need it, that's Anthony Troiani!

Mr. Trioni has defended me in his best ability with my case. I am amazed how the outcome of the case is turning out. I honestly thought Id get poor service since he wasn't a hired attorney but he has shown that not only does he do his job but cares for his client. I can honestly say he did not fail me but only give me an answer to every question I came across. I strongly believe that a person with Trioni as their attorney are in great hands. I'm more than thankful that I had my case dropped to a lower offense if it wasn't for him.

I highly recommend Mr. Anthony P. Troiani to anyone who needs legal advice. I can honestly say I trust him and felt throughout the long process, he truly cared for my case as if it were his own.I was charged and jailed, alleged DWI. Shortly thereafter made my phone call and phoned a friend who left a message after hours with Mr. Troiani' s office. Mr Troiani contacted the jail personnel, exchanged information with authorities and a left message for myself all before 8:00 a.m. This city was not home for Mr. Troiani or myself. He continued to gather information from the DA, multiple expert witnesses’ documents, made multiple court dates requiring plane travel. He communicated well and established rapport with prosecutors, as if they were his home town friends and resolved the case without my receiving a trial, DWI conviction, probation, community service, and only a $100.00 fine and minimal court costs. I feel confident that this fine would have been avoided had I risked a jury trial and spent several more months waiting on a trial.

I was arrested for possession of marijuana. Being my second offense, with a prior arrest back in 2007 for theft, left me really uncertain of what the outcome would be.The case took a lot of me, the DA told Mark, that because I've already had record he could not dismiss it. Mark was able prove that i was stopped without probable cause using the NTB off the police cruiser, which proved my story over the officers story which lead to a dismissal. I strongly recommend Mark, if you ever caught in a jam.

I called Ted for my immigration case and he was courteous from the get-go. He treated me like a real human being during the telephone consultation and not like just another case as other lawyers I had spoken to did. This was what encouraged me to meet with him. He listened attentively and told me what my options were without the usual scare tactics that other lawyers employ to make a case seem complicated and fleece you out of more money. One of his paralegals Eleazar, is also a wonderful guy and friendly. He was my liaison and was very meticulous and thorough.
Long story short, my case was resolved successfully within four months of filing the application, and my green card was approved. Overall a very positive experience.

What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You
A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.
Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.
When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?
It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:
- Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
- Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
- Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
- Plea negotiations: If you’re considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
- Probation or parole violations: If you’ve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
- Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.
What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?
Criminal defense lawyers provide comprehensive legal services to protect their clients’ rights throughout the criminal justice process. Their duties include:
- Case evaluation and investigation: Reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and investigating the facts to develop a strong defense strategy.
- Legal advice: Advising you on your rights, the charges you’re facing, and potential defense strategies, including whether to take a plea deal or go to trial.
- Negotiating plea bargains: Working with prosecutors to negotiate a plea deal that could reduce charges or minimize penalties.
- Court representation: Representing you in all court hearings, including bail hearings, pretrial motions, trials, and sentencing hearings.
- Filing motions: Filing motions to dismiss charges, suppress evidence, or reduce bail, depending on the specifics of your case.
- Trial preparation and defense: Preparing a defense strategy and presenting arguments, evidence, and witnesses during trial to contest the prosecution's case.
- Appeals: If you are convicted, a defense lawyer can appeal the conviction or sentence, arguing errors in the trial process or legal rulings.
How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?
Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Payment structures include:
- Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
- Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyer’s experience and geographic location.
- Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.
The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so it’s important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.
How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer depends on several factors, including the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost guidelines are:
- Misdemeanor cases: For relatively minor offenses, such as a DUI or petty theft, a flat fee may range from $1,500 to $5,000.
- Felony cases: More serious charges, such as assault or drug trafficking, can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
- Hourly rates: For cases billed by the hour, lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and the case's location.
- Additional expenses: You may also be responsible for other costs, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, or the cost of private investigators.
Be sure to clarify the lawyer’s fee structure and any potential additional costs during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Criminal Defense Lawyer
Before hiring a criminal defense lawyer, you’ll want to ensure that they’re a good fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has a strong track record with the specific type of criminal charges you’re facing, whether it’s DUI, drug offenses, or violent crimes. -
What is your fee structure?
Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs. -
What are the potential outcomes of my case?
A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of your case and the likelihood of dismissal, a plea bargain, or conviction. -
How many cases have you taken to trial?
While many criminal cases settle with a plea deal, it’s important to hire a lawyer with courtroom experience in case your case goes to trial. -
Who will handle my case?
Ask if the lawyer will be personally involved or if other attorneys in the firm will handle most of the work. -
How do you communicate with your clients?
Be clear on how often and through what channels you can expect updates on your case.
How to Check the Credibility of a Criminal Defense Lawyer
To verify the credibility of a criminal defense lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check their standing with the state bar: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any past disciplinary actions or complaints.
- Read online reviews and testimonials: Platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google can provide insights from previous clients about the lawyer’s communication, professionalism, and case outcomes.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should have past clients or other professionals who can speak to their competence and work ethic.
- Review their case history: Look at the lawyer’s website or professional profile to see their experience with criminal cases, including high-profile or complex cases.
- Look for trial experience: If your case might go to trial, make sure the lawyer has a strong history of courtroom advocacy and success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most of your first consultation with a criminal defense lawyer, bring the following:
- Details of your case: Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the charges against you, including any documents related to your arrest, police reports, and court dates.
- Criminal history: If you have any prior criminal convictions, inform your lawyer so they can understand how that may affect your current case.
- List of witnesses or evidence: If there are any potential witnesses or evidence that may support your defense, share this information during the consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare questions about their experience, legal strategy, and fees to ensure you understand how they will handle your case.
- Bail or release documents: If you’ve been released on bail, bring any paperwork related to your release conditions or restrictions.
By being well-prepared, you can help your lawyer quickly assess your situation and begin building an effective defense strategy.
