I got myself into a little bit of a tough situation with a domestic violence over a drunken holiday weekend and ended up getting arrested. My first call was to Dan Mellen who had a great reputation for either getting his clients off or getting their situations reduced. I ended up with the best case scenario and Dan got my charges dismissed.

I certainly didn't think I would ever need a Defense Attorney at my age, but I messed up and I decided on Mr. Nicholson after consulting 4 other Attorneys in my area. I think It's important to note that one of the Attorneys actually said that Mr. Nicholson is the best around and that I couldn't go wrong if I went with him. So I did and I am so happy and grateful that I listened to my gut. From start to finish Mr. Nicholson was informitave, went above and beyond answering all my stupid and repeat questions. He was so patient and just flat out nice and kind. I ended up getting a much better result than I ever could have hoped for and I just want to say that Mr. Nicholson is a Heck of a great guy and Attorney. Thank you Sir! Well done!

Katie is by far THE BEST attorney I have ever seen at work. She was very professional as well as always available and more than personable and willing to help. This was a very minor case compared to what she is used to handling and she was beyond accepting and affordable. Wish I would have hired her for the original case and probably would have never had to worry further. Always very quick to reply and explained every scenario. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

When you need an attorney, you are often venturing into unknown territory and have lots of questions. You need someone you can ask any question of, be listened to, and get a straight answer. Amanda is that and so much more - I cannot say enough good things about the result of my decision to retain Amanda Keller as my attorney. She is incredibly responsive, informative, and dedicated. Amanda takes time to know you and does her due diligence to understand your situation. I never would have made it through without her expertise and solid advice. Thanks for everything Amanda!

My dad who only spoke Spanish always felt heard and understood. Colin never gave up on our case even after 3 other firms put us down. They helped my dad navigate around his economic situation rewarding payments and so on. Thanks to this amazing team my dad got justice and peace of mind. 100/10 recommend this firm.

Absolutely one of the best decisions I've ever made was choosing Angus Lee for my attorney. I was dealing with a serious criminal offense that I thought could potentially ruin my life. I felt hope immediately upon meeting with Mr. Lee for a consultation. He was cautiously optimistic and realistic at the same time. I was impressed with his confidence and professionalism, and felt that I would not feel as comfortable putting my future in anyone else's hands. His knowledge of, and experience with, first and second amendment rights also gave him an advantage in my case. Angus was always in contact throughout the entire case and I never felt like I had to chase down information. He is known and respected in the local and regional law community and it showed in the courtroom. He was always early, prepared and positive. I was seen first at every hearing and out in minutes. The work Angus did early on proved to be most effective and my case was dismissed before it went to trial. I can praise his talent and experience all day, but when it comes down to your freedom the proof is in the results!! Thank you for everything Angus!! -Mac R. and Family

Purpose: Review Angus Lee Law services Rating: Excellent Recommendation: Highly recommended There’s saying I remember from my childhood, “be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer & supplication with thanksgiving let it your request be made known to God”. I found myself in a precarious situation that required law services which also required patience. A friend gave me Mr. Lee’s information and I proceeded to contact him. We discussed my situation and realized the gravity of the issues before me. He clearly explained each issue in laymen’s terms and let me understand that the process will take time. Mr. Lee was through and meticulous. Mr. Lee had the ability to keep me engaged in the process and kept me focused on important matters. The process took a year to complete, but it culminated in a successful litigation, having my charges dropped. The character, deportment, and professionalism of Mr. Lee was exemplary. I’m truly grateful for his services and give Mr. Lee my highest recommendation. Again, Many thanks to Mr. Lee & his team Sincerely, Glen

In a time of dire need for a capable attorney, who would advocate for me, and who would refute the false claims and unfair accusations against me, Erin has done a phenomenal job. I have nothing but good things to say about Erin. He has fought fiercely for me to prove my innocence and at the same time remained very fair. He is effective, fast, and communicates well, keeping you in the loop every step of the way. I have dealt with attorneys before who were arrogant, non-communicative, ineffective and uncaring, with money on their minds first; but not Erin. If you want an excellent defense attorney on your side, look no further than Erin.

I was here reviewing my current lawyer, and thought “why not leave my first lawyer a review”? Nick got me everything I needed in my initial divorce petition and temporary orders. Even majority custody of my children due to DV which was amazing. His downfall - Not wanting/ability to withstand a long holding case. *Important for people in my DV similar circumstance* Once my temporary divorce orders passed, he did not want to continue the case because in his words allegedly over a phone call “If your ex is the abuser you claim him to be and his family has money, I’d feel guilty taking any more money from you because your ex will not relent”. - which is valid, but not comital. Detrimental to anyone experiencing relentless Domestic Violence. Note: He DID cover a extra hearing he wasn’t required to under our contract. - This leaves me believing there was a miscommunication between expertise and compensation. I didn't understand that at the time. I wish he was more transparent. He could’ve billed me and I’d have paid him. Then over a phone call told me it’d cost be $15,000.00 upfront to deal with someone like my ex husband. That was saddening. Where did that leave me? Having to find another attorney to learn my details. Finding another attorney who understood that amount was unrealistic (for myself) upfront. He was also hesitant in believing my domestic violence claims. Which is already hard as a survivor and not something you need extra from your lawyer. Nick did get confused on travel dates I had (I mentioned to him at least 3 times) which caused me to have to purchase extra tickets to return for a child exchange. He blamed me for not reminding him prior to the hearing - but he knew I had mentioned it in general. He generously offered to pay for return tickets acknowledging it was his mistake. This was extra gracious of him. But if you’re needing a long-standing attorney - who isn’t just in it for the wam and bam, this might make practice questionable. Only leaving my open opinion here for those in a situation similar to mine and looking for long-standing representation. He did amazing law wise is good hearted. But maybe not so much for my extensive needs and being transparent. Which is critical in a relentless DV case like mine. Now I’m happily continuously paying a different attorney. No billing confusion and they’ve learned my details since the beginning of my case. Like everything in life trial and error - not all (people) attorneys are for everyone and that’s totally okay. Nick was great but it didn’t match

Caring, knowledgeable, dedicated, professional, and skillful. As mentioned by others on this site, it is impressive to watch him in action as he represents you in court. One gets the distinct impression that he has earned the utmost respect from his peers and colleagues in the courtroom from years of distinguished service and an impeccable track record. He’s done his homework, and he presents his arguments in a concise, intelligent, and articulate manner. The fees for his services are very reasonable, but that should be a lesser consideration in your decision to hire him because he gets results. Many years ago, I had a life-altering disposition that resulted in a considerable loss of my freedoms. Over the years, Mr. Muenster has adeptly secured provisions; privileges that most people take for granted that were lost as a result of my disposition. One such privilege was my right to vote. On this occasion, Mark convinced me that I could accomplish this “Pro se.” He was very gracious in making time for me on two separate occasions to answer my questions, and did so “pro bono.” With his invaluable expertise, I was granted a Certificate of Discharge by the judge. Since then, I have presented Mr. Muenster with increasingly more difficult challenges with respect to what I was requesting from the court and he has masterfully delivered on every one of them. I apologize to any readers or prospective clients who may be annoyed with my lack of specificity regarding the aforementioned “privileges and provisions” (by excluding details of my legal petitions as a matter of privacy), but trust me when I say that I have spoken with, and have been represented by, my share of attorneys from the beginning, until meeting Mark Muenster. Ever since the first time he represented me, I will not consider hiring a different attorney. I regret that fate had not delivered me to his doorstep sooner; I strongly believe my felony disposition would have been much different, or not at all.. But, I am thankful to have him in my corner going forward. He truly is in a class by himself.

I hired Ms. Townsend for a child custody case. In the beginning I was going to court without a lawyer, just me and my Mom. It felt like no one was listening to me and thought I would lose my son. My Mom was able to find a lawyer for me that didn't ask for $1000 of dollars before talking to me. She listened to me and I knew I hired the right lawyer. She stuck with me to the end making going to court so much easier. I could always talk to her. I won the custody case because of Josephine Townsend. Ms. Townsend is dedicated to her clients.

Josie was the best, definitely made the right choice to hire her for my mom!!!! We were highly recommended to do a consultation with her by another lawyer and it was the best decision made. We talked to plenty of other lawyers and seemed like they didn’t want to help and just take our money but when we went to see Josie she actually took the time to listen to what we had to say and was very patience with us. Josie was very straight forward and was very honest. Josie was actually wanting to help us and told us exactly what it was and what we could expect out of our case. She responds quickly to emails and text messages and even when she was in court she would let me know she would get back to me as soon as she was done so it made everything easier. Our case wasn’t the easiest but Josie definitely “won” and the outcome was great. I would highly recommend Josie she is the absolute best and she cares which makes a huge difference in her clients. If you or anyone is looking for an awesome lawyer Josie is the go to lady very knowledgeable and a very smart women!!!!!!

In the first week of April 2023, I was arrested. I needed to find a skilled practitioner and legal scholar in criminal law. I interviewed several attorneys claiming their expertise relating to my oncoming case. After five minutes with Mr. Thayer, I knew I had found a consummate professional. Mr. Thayer was self-confident, knowledgeable, and presented the demeanor I found matched what I felt important. He clearly was the masterful and accomplished professional I wanted to provide my representation. In my case, Steven progressed without pause, weaving in and out of the legal challenges he faced. He dramatically met obstacles successfully without exception. He used his skill, legal expertise, and wealth of experience to provide for me the ultimate in positive results. He filed and won a motion to suppress all the evidence and got my case dismissed. Mr. Thayer cares about his clients. He fought for me. He deserves my highest recommendation. Dr. Dennis White PhD

I got a DUI in September 2019. It was a very stressful situation. Prior to hiring Mr. Green, I was recommended to go consult with a different law office. I hired them and explained to them that I had a DUI 13 years ago, and this would be the 2nd time. They reassured me that it was far back that it won’t count against me. We went to our 1st court appearance, and come to find out, the prosecutor counted this as a second offense, and my attorney was clueless about the change in the law. I was offered jail time, work crew, DUI charge, and fines. I was terrified. Weeks passed and the attorney kept saying that he was building rapport with the prosecutor. He started negotiating my deal prior to receiving discovery evidence. He then told me that the prosecutor is offering me pretty much the same deal that was offered at the 1st hearing and that he thinks it’s a good deal. He also suggested that I wait until the last court date and that sometimes they have better offers waiting . In other words the prosecutor did not want to make deals, especially on second offense. I did not want to leave anything to chance.I let my attorney know that I was done and wanted to change counsel. He gave me a partial refund and recommended another law office, and then asked me if I had already found counsel. I mentioned that I was thinking about hiring Mr. Green, and he advised that I go see a different firm that only did DUI’s. Trust me, speciality does not mean good service, it’s like wholesale, they get you in and out with mediocre results. I lived it. Enough about that. The best thing I did is hire Mr. Jack Green. From the moment we started talking, I felt the confidence he had. He interviewed me thoroughly, he laid out a step by step game plan. he requested every peace of evidence that could made available, to include the cam footage from the officer, and to interview the officer who pulled me over. He was also very upfront about the difficulty of my case being a second offense, and that the prosecutor was not interested in making deals on second offenses period. That did not discourage him. He asked to be positive and let him do what he is best at. He kept digging until he found a violation in the cam footage from the officer. It looked like the officer had his hand slightly inside my vehicle cabin wish turned out to be a violation. He got the prosecutor to reduce the DUI to a wreck less driving, no jail time, and 2 days community service. It was a sigh of relief. I am 100% certain that if I had not made the change of counsel, the charge would off ruined my life and cost me my job. I am very grateful. I also really appreciate his office staff, who been with him for many years and are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. If you are ever in trouble from a DUI, or any lawful matter, And you want results call Jack Green, he will leave no stone unturned to get you results.

I give my highest recommendation for Jeffrey D. Ott. I asked him for help with a very complex and unique Separation/Divorce case and he handled it with professionalism, skill, honesty, and empathy. He was very responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about his role. He was straightforward about areas that he wanted to consult on or research more, which only made me more confident in his trustworthiness and his judgement when he gave advice. I am a professional in the county and he helped me navigate this process with confidence. Even with a significant amount of hostility, contentiousness, and difficulty between myself and my ex-husband he was level-headed, forthcoming, and professional. You can quickly feel that he has high integrity and wants to help people. I would recommend him for any family law matter.

I highly recommend Jeff Ott for your legal needs. Jeff specializes in divorce, however, this is not why we retained him. My husband and I experienced a very bad situation with a contractor which required a good sum of out-of-pocket funds on our part to complete the job. In our search for legal help to recoup this money I was referred to Jeff from a legal acquaintance. We are so thankful he did. Jeff's knowledge of construction laws and contracts as well as his research and information gathering abilities brought us to a wonderful conclusion. He stayed in touch with us every step of the way. Jeff will not only do what needs to be done for your legal needs, he will also show you understanding, compassion, friendship and will make you smile with his infectious laugh. He is very competent and we give Jeff an A++++++++++ in every aspect of his practice.

I can't possibly recommend Juliet highly enough! She is so incredibly knowledgeable and has a HIGH level of integrity and ethics, which was so important to me. I went through a very difficult divorce which led to the need to communiticate only through lawyers. Her notes to my ex and his lawyer were always so respectful and professional even when what we were receiving were not. I felt pride in being represented by Juliet because she shares my level of respect, ethics, and non-emotional/professional delivery in her represetation of the law. I continue to sing her praises far and wide!

I called and made a appointment with Chris Ramsay after I was arrested for a DUI. I went to his office feeling very nervous and at the end of the appointment he made me feel confident with his professionalism and concern for me , after court I felt relieved and very thankful for Chris Ramsay's services and I received only one day in jail. Chris Ramsey even called me a few weeks after court and asked me about my well being and that I was doing all the things that the court and state ordered me to do. I would very highly recommend Chris Ramsay if you need an attorney.

Michael reviewed my case (DV4), laid out my options, provided his advice and I took it. He met me in person, walked me through the process and was diligent with each appearance in court. He was well-spoken with the judge and eloquently communicated the facts of the case. I felt confident and hopeful throughout the entire process, which ended in the outcome we both had hoped for. What impressed me the most about Michael were his connections. He seemed to know everyone in the court room, and gets along with them, and that bodes well for his clients. I strongly endorse Michael Green as a Criminal defense attorney.

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.
