I did a lot of research and calls while searching for a lawyer. Once I spoke with Isaac, I knew he was going to be the one I hired. He was immediately interested in my case and asked all the questions the other lawyers didn't. He truly made me feel like he cared about my situation and his goal was for things to end in my best interest. It was a long process, but he and Kellie kept me updated as much as they could. Isaac was knowledgeable and efficient, he did everything he could to provide me the best service at the best cost. 10/10 recommend and I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

I had a court case back in 2008 and Robert Miner represented me. Fast forward 11 years and the court had put a warrant out for me, saying I had not turned something in. It was so ridiculous. Even though so much time had passed and he was no longer representing me, he still was very responsive to my emails and phone calls, and assisted me pro bono in getting my case dismissed. Awesome lawyer that really cares, even 11 years later.

Robert Miner advised my wife on her options and how to best meets the judge's concerns in her difficult case. He is an unusual combination of experience, intellect, and plain speaking communication that my wife, who is Chinese and ESL, could understand. He is patient and compassionate too. Much appreciated!

My mom was accused of 3 ridiculous charges and she was petrified she was going to go to jail for these charges for making a split second decision to smack our fence and two fence boards fell out. She panicked when she was told she needed to appear before a judge for criminal mischief and trespassing and animal cruelty, all of which were trumped up charges by some hotshot new cop. She called her divorce attorney Tom King who HIGHLY recommended Rob to her. She called the number and was so surprised/impressed that Rob himself answered the phone and she told him what happened and he immediately calmed her down. She met with him for her free consult and immediately hired him on the spot. He came to pick she and I up before every court appearance and talked us through everything and was upfront and honest. We were always in and out of every court appearance so quick. He got her 2 of her misdemeanors dropped and got her one down to probation for one year. He was great in calming my mom down and talking us through every step of the way so we have no surprises. I would recommend Rob to anyone with any criminal charge no matter how big or small. He was worth every dime that she paid him!

I hired Patrick on 4/14/2021. I had no contact with him so I reached out on 5/4/2021 to see where things were going. No response. Again reached out 5/10/2021. Finally got response 10 days later on 5/14/2021. Finally got papers served and had mediation set for 9/8/2021. Mediation did not turn out so we had to proceed with filing. Patrick needed my sons counselors name I sent that on 9/22/2021. Then nothing. I called, texted, emailed weekly. Got response 12/15/2021 telling me to standby. 12/22/2021 Patrick said he was still needing time. I asked if it would be done by end of the year. No response until 1/6/2022 saying he had seen my emails and messages. 1/29/202 text and no reply 2/1/2022 text no reply 2/7/2022 finally got reply. Said my papers had been filed. I checked with courts and nothing was filed. Sent text and email 2/25/2022 asking for clarification on why nothing had been filed. After numerous emails and phone calls and texts and no response I had to retain another attorney. I filed a complaint with Utah Bar so that other people wont have to deal with this.

I don't think there are enough words to describe how amazing Patrick is. He took our case at a time where it was a complete MESS (due to lack of attention and negligence by another attorney) and turned things around for us very quickly and very efficiently. Patrick has represented us not only in the Family Law area, but also attended the hearings with Immigration, teamed up with our immigration lawyer to better assist the cases, helped us with the Criminal Case and has gone above and beyond to achieve the results we wanted. Aside from being a very knowledgeable lawyer, he is an amazing person, he listened to all of our worries, answered the phone every time we had an emergency, stayed up late hours to get things done and my Fiance and I are very pleased to know him and to have had him represent us in these cases. I would recommend everyone to him because he really is the best!

I paid her retainer fee, which wasn’t cheap. Never saw or heard from her again. She pawned me off at the last minute to one of her trainees, who knew nothing about my case on my court date. Then, when the sentencing day came, nobody showed up. I ended up using a public defender after all was said and done because I couldn’t get in contact with anyone from her office. Be wary.

Josie Brumfield is a knight in shining armor, though not the typical kind. Did you know that if a prosecutor breaks the law... commits "prosecutorial misconduct," that they expect to get away with it? Any lawyer who calls them out will have goodies withheld from them! They won't get good deals, their other clients will be punished and they will lose the "goodwill" of the prosecutor. I didn't know that, but Josie did. She still went and risked her future options for me and told the truth. My ex wife's powerful family from the FLDS cult tried to get me out of the way after my kids (who I have custody of) inherited some money. They were willing to lie (very well! Tears and folksy sayings and everything) and they got the poor prosecutor to believe them. In fact, he became willing to toss aside ethics (cause he thought I would be stuck with a public defender) and help my ex's family make up whole new stories. The judge just sat there. Josie's courage and knowledge of how things really work (it is NOT always fair, the system is NOT always just), to buy me almost 5 extra years to raise money for my defense and help my kids prepare if I get railroaded.
If you want someone who is not part of the old boys club, who doesn't play golf with the prosecutor and judge, and who doesn't think of your case as one card in her hand of clients... and whose instincts about how the system really works just might save your bacon, then look no further. She was extremely reasonable 5 years ago, I expect her reputation has grown but she is worth every cent you will pay.
Since I'm still under the gun I sign this anonymously, with regret.

Unfortunately I was federally indicted in a large conspiracy case. There were over 30 others that were indicted and I wasn’t even added to the case a month or two after the case had started. I mention that part because I was one of the defendants that started fighting their charges after everyone else and one of the first of a few that have been sentenced. I was quickly able to finally put it behind me. He didn’t let my case drag out like you normally see in federal cases. I feel he went above and beyond In several ways and on several occasions. For example, he fought hard to get me out of custody and on pretrial quick! Unfortunately, fed pretrial was no cup of tea and I ended up back in custody 6 months later. I take full responsibility for that. And because I didn’t take my pretrial release seriously, I had to remain in custody til sentencing. He drove hours to visit with me in person at the jail on several occasions. He always made sure I understood everything and took his time to go over every detail and answered all my many questions. He discussed all my options with me and what I would be possibly facing by continuing to fight or what I would possibly face if I was to accept responsibility and plead guilty. He never pressured me to do either or. He left it completely up to me and assured me he would fight for me no matter how I decided to proceed with my case. He explained everything thoroughly and always answered my collect calls from jail. Always. Even on Sundays. When I decided how I wanted to proceed, he was able to get me a court date a month sooner then what I was already on the calendar for to help me hopefully get back out of custody. Bottom line, Ed fought hard for me and was able to get me a way lower sentence than what was originally offered to me. Thank you Ed. You really saved me in allot of ways.

Mr Dickinson and his office were amazing! I am embarrassed to say it was shocking what an emotional time this was for me. I felt like I had no control of what was happening to me and my daughter, and how to best save my future. Grant made me feel like he truly cared what happened to me and my daughter. He gave me good advice - and listened patiently while I sometimes disagreed. He is knowledgeable and kind, he is not about the all mighty dollar. His office staff are amazing, I called and went in more then should be permitted. They always treated me with kindness and respect. I am forever grateful to all of them.

I want to start by saying THANK YOU to Rocky Mountain defenders Attorney Kevin Vander Werff and his team. Kevin was always on top of his work. He not only showed amazing professional skills as an attorney, but truly cared about my son and his life. His staff sent reminders to my son and myself for every court date, place and time. He helped my son with multiple cases. I remember the first consultation with a staff member (Bart) and he said "we need to save this kids future". They treated and fought for my son as they would have for their own child/young adult. When I first hired this firm I was helicoptoring because I thought they needed my help. They didn't lol. They are the experts and it took so much weight off my shoulders during the process of courts. They do their job with love and real education with the law. My 19 year old son was facing 3 felonies and many misdemeanors. Because of Kevin, my son closed his cases with ZERO felonies and a couple misd. He seen potential in my son and honestly, the prosecutors did as well. Kevin has great relationships in the justice system. THE MONEY WAS NOT WASTED. 100 percent trust in this Attorney. Thank you Kevin and team for going above and beyond to give my son a second chance at life where it could've been screwed up if it weren't for you. much respect

Been trying to get this settled for 2 and half years. Not impressed with the service or really anything they have done. We have to call them and call again and again. If you want to have any results then don't use this company. It's crazy that we knew more about what payments would be taken in full by the health insurance company than they did. I'm sure there's someone that understands the law better than this company. Keep looking.

Ron has been my attorney for a little over two years as I navigated a highly contentious divorce. I’ve also worked with his associate, Jennifer closely and often. They have been an absolute dream team. They have always looked out for the best interest of my kids and I and did everything in their power to get us through this process and into a better place so we can heal and move forward. They were always prepared, listened to my experiences and concerns, explained things well, and were often available quickly when situations would arise unexpectedly but needed attention. Ron is wonderful at balancing the line of keeping peace and avoiding conflict when possible, but being aggressive and an advocate when he needs to be. Every time we were in court he was prepared, quick with information and answers, and aware of even the smallest details of my case. I had complete confidence in him in the courtroom, which brought me some peace in very stressful situations. Jennifer is adept in the legal world and has always been able to answer my questions and help me understand the process. But the most beautiful thing about her is she can do that while still holding space for compassion and empathy for the ways this experience affects a person emotionally. That’s not an easy combination to find in an attorney. Ron and Jennifer saw me as a person, not just as another one of their many clients. They trusted me as much as I trusted them and believed in me during the times it was hard for me to believe in myself. They guided me with great legal advice while still allowing me to trust my gut, they always had my back. As things are finally coming to a close, I am infinitely grateful that I had them in my corner during the hardest part of my life. Heritage Law lived up to its name, because the ways they helped me and my kids will undoubtedly have a positive ripple effect in our family for many generations to come.

Before we hired Ron Wilkinson we read reviews and wondered if the poor reviews were credible since they seemed so different compared to the good reviews. Well, after experiencing Ron Wilkinson firsthand for ourselves, we can confirm the poor reviews about him are credible.
When we had our consultation, Ron told us quote, “I can probably get this case resolved with one phone call.” And he said that we would get the rest of our “retainer back to spend on Christmas.” We understood it wasn't a guarantee but that it was a good probability he could get the case resolved with one promised phone call since that is what he told us.
Ron never made that promised phone call. We emailed him and called the office countless times over the next 6 weeks. We did not receive replies to our emails or any callbacks. We finally scheduled a phone call in advance to speak with Ron, which costs almost $400 an hour. We asked Ron if he made that one phone call yet that he promised us. He seemed surprised we remembered him promising he would make this phone call and that he probably could get this case resolved on that one phone call and that we expected him to make that call. He said the individual he was going to call was hard to get a hold of. We did not believe he was telling us the truth.
Another time opposing counsel sent us a very harassing email on a Thursday filled with lies and threatening sanctions (court fines) against us if we didn't reply by Monday. We called Ron's office, we emailed Ron and forwarded onto him the harassing email. Ron never called us back, never emailed us back. We made it clear this was an emergency and we heard nothing but crickets. We had to reply to the email ourselves and represent ourselves in order to get the email back to this other unprofessional attorney by Monday.
It is almost impossible to communicate with Ron. He does not reply to emails or return phone calls. If you want to talk on the phone, you have to schedule a call weeks in advance for almost $400 an hour. But there are times when emergencies or situations arise that you need a relatively quick response.
Then when you do get a rare chance to talk to him, it's very difficult to bring up your concerns to him as he gets easily triggered and he has a short temper. Ron even told us he gets easily triggered. We were scared to say anything to him. Ron often engages in manipulative gas-lighting techniques where he creates a false narrative and tries to place the blame for his irresponsible actions onto us and blame us for his bad actions. As one example he would accuse us of not listening when Ron is the one who was not listening to us.
The ultimate betrayal was when Ron falsely told the court we agreed to things which we absolutely did NOT agree to.
Ron or his office also engage in falsifying their bills. As one specific example we were charged $720 for witnesses being served subpoenas. However only 4 witnesses were subpoenaed at a cost of $18.50 each which would be a total of $74, not $720. When we point this out to both Ron and his office asking them what is going on with the billing, we again receive no response.
We also had to do a lot of babysitting. We had to constantly call and email over and over and over to make sure things are getting done.
For example, we called multiple times about correctly scheduling something. We were finally told there were about 5 dates to choose from and we would get a call back to get our permission to schedule the time and place. About a week goes by with no one calling us back. So we have to call into the office again. And we are told that the thing was scheduled without ever talking to us. And this thing was scheduled at a time we could NOT make and at a place we clearly did NOT agree to. So we have to spend more time and more money getting it rescheduled and fixed to the correct place.
In short, instead of us being properly represented, there were multiple times we were misrepresented by our own counsel.

I unfortunately had an injury claim and had no idea how to go about it or what to do. I was frantic and I knew the financial burden would immensely impact my life. I am forever grateful for contacting Tim and his team. They guided me and were essentially at my beck and call. Their knowledge and experience really made the process a breeze. They truly care about their clients and give their undivided attention. Half way into my lawsuit, I with bad luck encountered another claim and not once was I questioned or felt like I was the problem. I coincidentally was involved in two claims in just one year. I truly couldn’t have done it without them by my side. Not only did Tim and his team go above and beyond. We also settled with a breeze and an outcome more than expected. I can’t emphasize enough, you will want him by your side when dealing with a personal injury case.

My fiancé hired Mary Bevan to help her with a custody matter. After the first hearing we had concerns with Mary's approach and confidence in the court room, after the 2nd hearing we realized she was as good as having no legal counsel. She has no control whatsoever in the court room and she allowed the apposing lawyer to walk all over her. It got to the point where it seemed like Mary didn't believe my fiancé and constantly kept telling her to be honest in order for her to be able to help. My fiancé never lied and was honest from the start. We ended up firing her and hiring a new lawyer. It took the new lawyer 1 hearing to get the case resolved, Mary had 7 months and didn't do anything.

I found Pearson Butler via MetLife legal plan. Connected with Russ to get our family trust in place. Straight forward to complete, no complaints there. Reached back out to Russ about a completely separate matter unrelated to estate planning. His response was "I do not practice law in this area and thus, have not idea." I guess I just had more expectation than a lazy response with typos. Too much to ask if there's someone he can put me in contact with? I will be moving on from Pearson Butler and find another firm to do estate planning in the future.

In 2018, I divorced my husband. The attorney messed up the paperwork, and I found that I had a mess on my hands. I hired Mr. Nemelka in 2020 to untangle things, and he did a fabulous job. My concerns were listened to and addressed. His advice was clear and spoke of years of experience. He was responsive, honest, and on top of everything. Things were taken care of with the court, and that was that... I thought. This year, I found myself needing a lawyer again due to reopened proceedings by my former husband. I again called Nemelka Law, and it has been resolved quickly and with minimal fuss. I would hire Steve again in a minute!

I felt so overwhelmed and he walked me through things step by step.

Beyond all of this, Steve is extremely nice and approachable. I had a great attorney and made a great friend.

I can't say enough good things about Brenda and her assistant Amy. I first met with Brenda when I was still in shock after my ex-husband left our family via text for his mistress. I interviewed several attorneys and immediately felt the most comfortable with Brenda. While I wasn't ready to file at that time, I was so grateful for her support and advice. A couple months later I did file for divorce and I couldn't have asked for better service. She is an excellent communicator and advocate. She answered questions/emails quickly and billing was transparent. She always made sure I was well prepared and understood every step of the process and exactly what to expect. I felt overwhelmed at some points, but always knew what I needed to do next. She helped me achieve the best possible outcome for myself and my kids. She also provided excellent advice when I needed the help of our local police department to stop my husband's girlfriend's harassment of me and my son. Truly she was part legal counsel and part counselor. I never thought I would find myself going through a divorce, but I couldn't have been in better hands. Don't hesitate to hire Brenda!

I originally hired a divorce attorney out of Salt Lake City where I live. He seemed smart and I figured he was similar to most attorneys and would do a great job. Long story short, I fired him. He was not a good advocate, a very poor communicator and I was being taken. A friend of mine recommended Brenda Beaton, she is based out of Ogden, but well worth the drive. However, I needed a "great" attorney, so I interviewed and hired her that day. Brenda is a take charge attorney. She is intelligent, knows the law, and fought hard for me. She communicated everything she was doing and would always reply if I had questions or concerns. I highly recommend hiring Brenda.

I first met Nathan at my first appearance where he gave me his card and told me what to say to the judge to get enough time to find counsel. I reached out to him and he helped me work out a payment plan and let me know how he would proceed from there. The past 6ish months, he has taken amazing care of me. He was always available to meet to answer any questions or concerns I had. His knowledge of our justice system is impeccable and he was able to significantly reduce and even dismiss some of my charges. He’s even willing to go back to court with you the next year to fully close your case. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney. Thanks a billion, Nathan!

Ron has been my attorney for a little over two years as I navigated a highly contentious divorce. I’ve also worked with his associate, Jennifer closely and often. They have been an absolute dream team. They have always looked out for the best interest of my kids and I and did everything in their power to get us through this process and into a better place so we can heal and move forward. They were always prepared, listened to my experiences and concerns, explained things well, and were often available quickly when situations would arise unexpectedly but needed attention. Ron is wonderful at balancing the line of keeping peace and avoiding conflict when possible, but being aggressive and an advocate when he needs to be. Every time we were in court he was prepared, quick with information and answers, and aware of even the smallest details of my case. I had complete confidence in him in the courtroom, which brought me some peace in very stressful situations. Jennifer is adept in the legal world and has always been able to answer my questions and help me understand the process. But the most beautiful thing about her is she can do that while still holding space for compassion and empathy for the ways this experience affects a person emotionally. That’s not an easy combination to find in an attorney. Ron and Jennifer saw me as a person, not just as another one of their many clients. They trusted me as much as I trusted them and believed in me during the times it was hard for me to believe in myself. They guided me with great legal advice while still allowing me to trust my gut, they always had my back. As things are finally coming to a close, I am infinitely grateful that I had them in my corner during the hardest part of my life. Heritage Law lived up to its name, because the ways they helped me and my kids will undoubtedly have a positive ripple effect in our family for many generations to come.

Before we hired Ron Wilkinson we read reviews and wondered if the poor reviews were credible since they seemed so different compared to the good reviews. Well, after experiencing Ron Wilkinson firsthand for ourselves, we can confirm the poor reviews about him are credible.
When we had our consultation, Ron told us quote, “I can probably get this case resolved with one phone call.” And he said that we would get the rest of our “retainer back to spend on Christmas.” We understood it wasn't a guarantee but that it was a good probability he could get the case resolved with one promised phone call since that is what he told us.
Ron never made that promised phone call. We emailed him and called the office countless times over the next 6 weeks. We did not receive replies to our emails or any callbacks. We finally scheduled a phone call in advance to speak with Ron, which costs almost $400 an hour. We asked Ron if he made that one phone call yet that he promised us. He seemed surprised we remembered him promising he would make this phone call and that he probably could get this case resolved on that one phone call and that we expected him to make that call. He said the individual he was going to call was hard to get a hold of. We did not believe he was telling us the truth.
Another time opposing counsel sent us a very harassing email on a Thursday filled with lies and threatening sanctions (court fines) against us if we didn't reply by Monday. We called Ron's office, we emailed Ron and forwarded onto him the harassing email. Ron never called us back, never emailed us back. We made it clear this was an emergency and we heard nothing but crickets. We had to reply to the email ourselves and represent ourselves in order to get the email back to this other unprofessional attorney by Monday.
It is almost impossible to communicate with Ron. He does not reply to emails or return phone calls. If you want to talk on the phone, you have to schedule a call weeks in advance for almost $400 an hour. But there are times when emergencies or situations arise that you need a relatively quick response.
Then when you do get a rare chance to talk to him, it's very difficult to bring up your concerns to him as he gets easily triggered and he has a short temper. Ron even told us he gets easily triggered. We were scared to say anything to him. Ron often engages in manipulative gas-lighting techniques where he creates a false narrative and tries to place the blame for his irresponsible actions onto us and blame us for his bad actions. As one example he would accuse us of not listening when Ron is the one who was not listening to us.
The ultimate betrayal was when Ron falsely told the court we agreed to things which we absolutely did NOT agree to.
Ron or his office also engage in falsifying their bills. As one specific example we were charged $720 for witnesses being served subpoenas. However only 4 witnesses were subpoenaed at a cost of $18.50 each which would be a total of $74, not $720. When we point this out to both Ron and his office asking them what is going on with the billing, we again receive no response.
We also had to do a lot of babysitting. We had to constantly call and email over and over and over to make sure things are getting done.
For example, we called multiple times about correctly scheduling something. We were finally told there were about 5 dates to choose from and we would get a call back to get our permission to schedule the time and place. About a week goes by with no one calling us back. So we have to call into the office again. And we are told that the thing was scheduled without ever talking to us. And this thing was scheduled at a time we could NOT make and at a place we clearly did NOT agree to. So we have to spend more time and more money getting it rescheduled and fixed to the correct place.
In short, instead of us being properly represented, there were multiple times we were misrepresented by our own counsel.

3.5 STAR REVIEW OF CHAD STEUR LAW
Chad regularly lies and tramples the rules--which might be fine to you, if you benefit from his cheating. He is an impetuous attack dog who cares about his clients and fights hard for them. He is what people, myself included, look for in a litigator. While most attorneys are averse to conflict, Chad is not. Moreover, Chad is not greedy like many attorneys. Then why not a five-star review, you say?
Chad's problem is that he lacks wisdom. He fights--and usually wins--legal battles that might ultimately, and unwittingly, lead to your losing the war. Though I recommend Chad, he is like nitroglycerine; so I suggest you consult a second attorney before you let Chad loose.
(The above is my opinion as a lay person based on my dealings with Chad Steur. I do not present it as a statement of irrefutable fact.)

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.
