Cannot recommend Mr. Arden enough. The gentleman knows is stiff when it comes to child custody cases. I appreciate him taking his time helping me navigate my questions and telling me what things would look like if the case went a certain way. Definitely someone who appreciates their clients and cares about their ourcomes.

The Law office of Alan Arden was a VERY professional team. He was timely, accurate, honest, caring, respectful, considerate, hardworking, dependable, hardcharging, trustworthy, fair and so much more. If you need defense council you should look no further than this office. It was a privilege to have them and the results will prove themselves!

I cannot recommend The Reed Law Firm highly enough! While Mr. Reed represented me though a detinue case and Mrs. Reed represented me in my divorce, the firm as a whole worked together like a family. I was so impressed with their expertise and unwavering support and commitment throughout the entire process. From my first consultation with Mr. Reed, when I was distressed and in need of help, I felt listened to and reassured. I was really vulnerable, not knowing anything about the law and he provided clear, strategic advice specific to my situation. The most encouraging feeling from that initial call was that he was being realistic and upfront about what would lie ahead- legally and financially. Mr. Reed was like a superhero when it came time to appear in court. He really fought for me. Out of a bad situation, he got me the best possible result. After that case was over, it was time to move on to my divorce. That is when Mrs. Reed began representing me and I felt guided through every step. With her help (and the rest of the firm), she was always there to answer my questions, explain the next steps, promptly draw up and file the appropriate paperwork, and stand by me at the final hearing. She got the job done even though it took some twists and turns. I not only felt supported, but I also felt empowered—like I had the best of the best by my side. Shout out to the wonderful paralegals- Candice and Nisa, for being communicative, helpful, and kind. After being a client of the Reed Law Firm for a year, I feel that they are genuinely good people and incredible at what they do. I am so grateful that they were in my corner through one of the toughest times in my life. I was given their phone number as kind of a random recommendation and it seriously altered my path for the better. I hope this recommendation helps someone who needs it. Thank you, Reed Law Firm, for making a difference in my life!

I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Price during a rule to show cause hearing and a status hearing 90 days later. Her expertise, professionalism, and dedication were instrumental in us winning the case. She was thorough in her preparation, communicated clearly, and ensured I understood each step of the process. Her confidence in the courtroom and deep understanding of the law gave me peace of mind throughout the entire experience. I highly recommend Ms. Price to anyone in need of a skilled and trustworthy attorney.

We were trying to prepare for our case and David kept putting us off for weeks up until 40 minutes before our case where he briefed the defendant and when the time came, David was prepared, our defendant wasn’t prepared, and upon hindsight and discussion with other defense attorneys, there was so much more that David could have done that he didn’t do and was ill prepared for. Please if you’re considering an attorney, think twice before picking David. At the end of the day it’s you and your case and your lives on the line, not his. He certainly didn’t give it his all in our case and left us high and dry when we scrambled for answers. He told the defendant to plead guilty and we were misled to think that it would be better but it costed him the rest of his life. He didn’t take that into account and it was clear he didn’t care

ANYONE seeking THE UTMOST PROFESSIONAL experience please look NO further. ASHLEY is AMAZING, attentive and EXTREMELY willing to go above and beyond. I received a phone call from a bill collector. I believe her name was Danielle, AKA “the junkyard dog” AKA “ANGRY BIRD” from the law offices of Nguyen Ballato Law Firm. Guess what DANIELLE? “You mess with the bull you get the horns.” As I do NOT divulge any personal information over the telephone. I promptly contacted the law office of Riddle and Hanna. Ashley IMMEDIATELY contacted this low-grade, “law firm.” After, oh, I believe 5 emails, Nguyen Ballato Law Firm finally provided the information needed to remit payment. However, my client ID number provided to Ashley IS INCORRECT!!!! Which has again hindered me from remitting payment. I will repeat myself, if you need a professional lawyer who actually goes above and beyond Ashley, is your lawyer.

I had an outstanding experience with The Wilson Law Firm. From the very beginning, their team was professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about my case. They took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the legal process, ensuring that I felt informed and confident along the way. Their expertise in the field was evident. Communication was always prompt and clear. Thanks to The Wilson Law Firm, my reckless driving case was resolved in a timely and favorable manner. I couldn't have asked for better representation. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a DUI/DWI and reckless driving criminal defense layyer. They are not only knowledgeable and experienced but also compassionate and dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome for their clients.

I retained Mr. Stanton for very serious charge that could have resulted in many years of prison time. Mr. Stanton put me and my family at ease from the very start. He talked to us in his office on a Saturday. He was always available to talk to myself and my family when we had questions or concerns. He was able to get my charges reduced to a misdemeanor without jail time. If you need an attorney that will put his best effort into your case. Will is the right person for you.

Hanger Law was quick and efficient during the closing process. In particular, Jeana McMurray was very helpful to me. She took the time to listen to my concerns, answer questions and when needed, offer her professional advice. This meant a great deal to me. She moved thru all of the closing documents in a quick and thorough way. The receptionist who first greets you was very kind, helpful and always gave me a bottled water to quinch my thirst! I thank Sarah Spriggle for getting all required documents to me for signature as soon as possible. I also appreciate her and Jeana keeping their calendar available for a quicker closing date and responding to the emails in a very timely manner. Thanks

I hired shawn to assist with restoring my firearm rights. He laid out what he needed from me, and what he would be providing as well. I had a rather lengthy criminal history, multiple felonies, but no violent charges. Upon our day in court the commonwealth attorney immediately opposed the restoration. And the judge seemed she had made her mind up as well😑 we went ahead and gave testimony and produced character references. And somehow swayed the judges opinion so much that she went against the commonwealth attorneys recommendation and ordered my rights be restored!!! I was smiling, shawn was smiling, the judge was smiling! I truly was ready to walk out of the courtroom at the beginning and am glad I didn't! This was a homerun in my book and I'm sure Shawn's as well. 5 stars all day!

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.
