I was referred to Mr. Lee through a lawyer referral service. After describing my case to him over the phone, which I took to be my initial (free) half hour consultation, he invited me to meet with him at his office to discuss my legal situation in more detail. I did so and went into depth with him about a civil action the State was taking against me along with related potential criminal charges from the County Prosecutor. Mr. Lee spent over two and a half hours studying my documents, asking case related questions of me while answering my own for him. He provided me with good legal advice and helpful information while demonstrating genuine interest in my personal outlook as well as the health and wellbeing of my family members, given our unusually demanding living situation. To my amazement, Mr. Lee charged me nothing for his time but simply stated that he’d take my case if I should eventually face charges. In short, Mr. Lee impressed me as being a knowledgeable and experienced attorney who truly cares about his clients.

By far the best attorney I have had the pleasure of working with. I had an unemployment matter with a very large corporation. He was very helpful and informative. He answered my question about the case well after normal closing time and is very thorough. He will tell you honestly how it will or could possibly go and he is very professional and seems to be well known by judges. Definitely recommend

Carlos worked hard to get my long drawn out case dismissed. He not only was my lawyer but reached out to make sure I was okay during difficult times regarding the case. He has compassion, insight and listens to his clients while suggesting the best options necessary. My first time needing a lawyer and I was completely naive to the process. Carlos put me at ease and ultimately my case was dismissed! Highly recommended.

Carlos saved my husbands life, and our family. Two years ago my husband was arrested, and facing very serious charges. If convicted he was facing 40 years in prison. I knew picking the right attorney would be the most important decision I ever made. Before finding him, we where totally clueless on what to do, and how to handle this extremely stressful situation. The day Carlos told me he would take this case all my anxiety lifted. Although he is extremely intelligent he spoke to me in away he knew I would understand. He believed in us and our story from the start, and did everything he could to calm my nerves and to ensure me he will do the very best, and work as hard as he can to save my husband. After the first meeting he had with my husband, he had him moved out of lockdown he was in for 23 hours a day to regular population, and in a much more comfortable location in the Jail. The months and days leading up to trial he was always there to answer any question I had, any time of day or night. I saw a total change in my husbands confident level. Any problem that popped up, he made me feel like it was our problem, together, not just mine. He did an amazing job at trial, it was a very stressful two week trial, and Carlos and his wife are an amazing team. His wife even helped me ensure one of our star witnesses made it to court on time to testify after he ended up in the hospital. The trial ended with a hung Jury, witch is amazing considering everything we had against us. Carlos was ready to do it all over again. Only he negotiated an amazing deal with the prosecutor, a deal that was to good to pass up. My husband will be out in less than 2 years, and he was facing 40 years. We couldn’t be happier, and Carlos and his wife have become more than just our lawyer, they have become our dear friends. He really went above and beyond anything I ever expected. My 2 year old son will have his daddy back before he could even remember him being gone. I highly recommend Carlos Gonzalez

I highly recommend you call and schedule an appointment. He listens and fights for you. I went to one appearance and he represented me through my whole case and he got it dismissed. He was very honest and upfront, and he didn’t waste my time. The only down side I would say is that his team doesn’t give updates or call back in a timely manner when you call the office. I do have to add that my case was being handled around the holidays and so I understood why he was working around the clock covering for his assistants so they would get vacation time. What worked for me was when I emailed Nader he worked hard to get back to me and he would call me and leave me detailed messages regarding my case and that made things easier. If you want someone who will fight for you and stand next to you every step of the way this is the person. He is worth every penny and if he is representing you then you don’t have to worry. At first one is worried if they hired the right lawyer, but rest assured if you hire Nader, he is the right lawyer.

I was referred to Mr. Frost by my family law attorney. My criminal case and family law case were intertwined and it was important they work together. Mr Frost was very straightforward from the get go. He explained all options and their implications. He was also very willing to listen to my concerns and my feelings and had a way of gathering the information needed. My case went to trial, and Mr. Frost worked quickly and aggressively. He was a great trial coach, and is a true master of his craft. I felt as confindent and surprisingly at ease even with everything at stake. In the end I was acquitted.

Dallas Cooney and Shannon Lynch went above and beyond to help my fiance and I when we were facing criminal trespassing charges when we had no clue we were on private property. They took the time to hear all of our thoughts and concerns and fought hard for us. Because they cared so much for our case we got the outcome we wanted and our case was dismissed due to lack of evidence. We highly recommend Cooney Law.

Hi my name is Steve and I made a serious mistake and chose to drink and drive. I first met Dallas, I was in terrible emotion shape but Dallas was so professional and actually cared about my well being that I was completely blown away. He made me feel like I was NOT a loser and that I was in good hands and that he could help me fix the mistake I had made. Yes I was reluctant to believe but. Dallas saved my Drivers License. I can not even begin so say what an impact this did for me! I was able to keep my Job and continue to drive. Dallas saved me on the State part of a Dui and then he introduced me to one of the finest ladies I have ever met for the civil part of the incident . This lady's name is Jennifer Fassbender. Jennifer also treated me with complete professionalism and respect. Her approach made me feel like she truly cared. I did commit a very serious violation to the great people of Spokane and the State of Washington but she helped me get through this tragedy with hope and a better understanding of what I had done. The court system made me jump through a lot of hoops that are law I.E. The blower thing in the car and stuff like but she professionally protected me. Next because of this Dui stuff my wife said she wanted a divorce. I do not agree with my wife's decision but Jennifer suggested Julia Pelk she was equally awesome. Julia and her associate were so again professional and I did not even have to appear in court. Thay handled everything. Cooney Law office is staffed with the most professional quality staff I have ever met. if you want to be treated with respect and recieve the best care a law firm can give please see Coonet Law. it is second to none.

When I recieved my DUI charge the first person I contacted was Dallas Cooney and because of the severity of my charge (2nd strike) Dallas took the case personally. Boy was it worth it to have Dallas and his team on the case. I was facing certain jail time and years of restrictions if not a complete loss of driving priviledges. It was very serious but Dallas managed to take what looked like an open and shut DUI case for the prosecution and have my ticket reduced to a Reckless Driving Charge with substantially less consequences as my DUI charge would have been. Needless to say the entire experience has "scared me straight" and I would never drink and drive again if drink at all! Dallas was always straight with me and kept the worst possible scenerio at the forefront of my mind and when I recieved a letter from the Department of Licensing that all charges had been dropped against me I just couldn't believe my good fortune. Now was the next test of the criminal charges. Somehow Dallas was able to come to an understanding with the prosecutor and my charge was reduced to a reckless driving ticket which itself had some pretty stiff penalties but nothing compared to the original charge. It felt like a miracle. In fact it was. Dallas was great to work with and very personable. Though he kept me abreast of the severity of the charges and possible consequences he always seemed to inspire confidence regardless of the outcome. I just felt the entire time that I had the best possible person in my court. The fact is, even if the outcome was not as favorable as it ended up being for me, I couldn't think of another attourney I would have represent me. Just an amazing experience all the way around and the result being a reduced charge and a changed man all at the same time. Thank you Dallas.

I'm a Canadian who was traveling in the USA. I was stopped by a trooper on the HWY for apparently speeding. The Trooper, completely degraded me, accused me of dealing illegal drugs, and questioned my ability to afford the vehicle I was driving. Yes again, I was stopped for speeding? After being verbally interogated for 30 mins he arrested me and printed out 3 citations; Reckless Driving, Reckless Endangerment and an infraction. At this Point I was nervous and felt quite intimidated. When I got home I searched for lawyers and talked to many on the phone who couldnt give me any conclusion except pleading guiltly to 1 criminal charge and paying the infraction. I then got intouch with Henry. He spend the better part of 1 hour on the phone with me and took on the case with confidence. After the first hearing, Henry was able to negotiate a dismissal of both criminal charges and I had to pay a $550 infraction. I was really quite pleased with his work and how efficient he was. I would refer Henry to anyone who needs the help of a lawyer who is professional, honest and most importantly knows how to get the job done!

I had a very bad spring back in 2012. I rolled my wife's car during a bit of nasty weather. I was confronted by some, not so nice police officers, and ended up getting in a scuffle. Things went quickly from bad to worse and I was quickly arrested. I discovered Henry's services through the bail business I utilized to get me sprung from jail. It was a fortuitous discovery! While I didn't walk away from the charges or found innocent, I did get a plea bargain from the DA, thanks very much to Henry! He stated more than once that he would go to bat for me and fight the charges, which was very much appreciated. At the same time he informed me of the risks. I really didn't want a felony charge to stick, I had been a professional businessman prior to this incident and wanted to continue to be so. A felony would've destroyed my future! I took the plea bargain, did my time (21 days or so) and moved on. Henry's help was money spent well! He is a genuine person that actually cares about his clients! If you are looking for someone to represent you that has amazing credentials and the care and concern that you deserve as a human being, then Henry is your guy! Trust me! He is your guy!!!!

I was introduced Henry because I had no idea whom to hire when I was in charged for DUI, very scared and nervous. Henry listened to me very carefully and gave me the power that we could definitely solve the problem. He is very ambitious, not overwhelming, and organizing; most of all he really knows what he is doing. Not only as a client and the lawyer, he loved to listen to me whatever that is, even my personal stories and feeling so he could put himself in my shoes.. He was also very patient when I had so many questions even when I called his personal cell phone, and he got back to me right away with happy voice when he missed my calls. The one thing that I really appreciate him is that he did not have to go to court with me after the case was actually closed, he showed up and put me on the list earlier so I didnt have to wait for an hour.. Even thought the case was over, he still was willing to take care of the case with no extra pay. I thought it was very nice of him that he just doesn't let me alone dealing with the case afterward.. Not only he has such a great personality, he is also very responsible and knowledgeable. Of course I was not the only client of him, but Henry always remember what is going on with my case, even all the details, he would love to answer all my questions. Whoever looking for a knowledgeable but very warm-hearted lawyer, he is the one you should go for. I think the good communication between the lawyer and the client is very important as well as the ability lawyer can win the case. I am very satisfied working with him, and he is a great person, a lawyer. Truly thank you Henry.

My family and I were involved in an auto accident back in 2016 (not at fault). Never having been involved in an accident, I was pretty shaken up and not really sure what to do or expect. The other adult with me in the accident was able to recommend Oscar. We called him while still at the scene and his first question was ' is everyone OK?'. This was such a HUGE comfort to me, because I had always thought of lawyers as insensitive and cold. But this was not the case with Mr. Desper; from beginning to end he was attentive, patient, informative and pushed for the very best outcome on my behalf.

First, let me start by saying that I was not referred to Mr. Donnan but instead found him online as a random attorney who handles criminal cases and appeals. I have not had positive experiences regarding legal issues in the past, so my expectations were low at best, and my distrust of anyone being able to gain positive outcomes on my behalf was high. Additionally, the law may be free of passion but my own case motions were loaded with emotional baggage that I did not wish to revisit if there was no guarantee of success. Especially, since I was revisiting previously settled and closed legal issues. A single meeting with Mr. Donnan persuaded me to take that chance though. He is clearly passionate and knowledgeable about his area of law. Couple that with his familiarity of the opposing attorneys and sitting judges that he interacts with, Mr. Donnan exudes a natural confidence that makes an extremely stressful process tolerable. He guarantees outcomes that he can deliver on and communicates candidly throughout the entirety of the process on outcomes that may not be possible. He is also very clear about what was needed from clients and when. Mr. Donnan's expertise, excellent preparation, and inspiring delivery of arguments with supporting case law was acknowledged by the judge in a very definitive judgement in my favor and in both cases. I now have closure and peace of mind on a chapter in my life that I never thought possible.

It was a stressful experience, and I was happy to have Andrea on my side. Her preparation was thorough. She left no stone uncovered during her investigation pretrial. She did a great job during trial too. I thought her questioning of the witnesses was perfect, and I was very impressed with her approach to questioning the two children who testified in the case.

Attorney Nigel Malden is an attorney of honesty,credibility,loyalty and integrity! My husband and I needed an attorney to help us in a very difficult case that we needed legal representation on. We really needed an attorney who could adequately, thoroughly, and intently review our case to evaluate our response and our opponents allegations. Attorney Nigel Malden and his legal assistant worked together to form a legal defense on our case and was successful in presenting to the Court our rights as citizens to have our surveillance cameras to protect our home, which was previously ordered by a Judge to remove. He was successful by presenting to the court the lies, inconsistencies, and the police report of the false allegations of our opponents. Our opponent over the years has gotten away with harassment's against us even through the court system. Attorney Nigel Malden was successful by his representation to the court exposing our opponent harassment against us. Our opponent was not only granted a 1 year anti harassment but a 2 year anti harassment order. Our opponent was able for years to get away with their harassment's even when we had provided proof in court of their harassment's.. Attorney Nigel Malden was successful by presenting to the court that we as citizens have a right not be limited to be 10 feet away from our own property that was previously ordered by a Judge. Attorney Nigel Malden is an answer for anybody who are seeking an Attorney who would fight for them for justice,truth,and your rights. If you want an attorney who will fight for you with all he has within him,(similar to a Father defending his children) by his legal knowledge,profession and expertise..He is kind,gentle,warm and friendly,but a powerhouse in the courtroom.. When Attorney Nigel Malden is in the court room representing you it's like the movie "Showdown at the okay coral..You truly can count on Attorney Nigel Malden, he is the Attorney for you..

If you want a good loyal honest attorney Nigel Malden is the man for you. My husband and I had a case that we needed an attorney fast. I did not know where to turn so I went to the telephone book.. I called Attorney Nigel Malden's office. His Legal assistant is a very kind, warm and friendly lady. I explained what our case was about his legal assistant informed me to send the documents that I had regarding myself and husband's case, and she would discuss it with Attorney Malden. After submitting the documents requested it was within two days we got a response from Mr. Malden's office to inform us that he would represent us. We had a meeting at his office and the very first time that my husband and myself met Mr. Malden and his legal assistant. We felt like we had known them a long time because they both have a warm friendly way of making you feel very comfortable. After Mr. Malden finished reviewing our documents he told us the pros and cons of what could possibly be the outcome of our case. Mr. Malden detailed with us how he would present our case before the Court. Mr. Malden gave us advice how we should act and respond to questions that were asked of us by the Judge himself or the opposite party's attorney. He kept us focused on what was important and the things that were not, he advised us accordingly. Mr. Malden gave us ample time to discuss our case, he inquired of us if we understood what he was saying whether it was a legal answer or regarding what we might expect in court. Mr. Malden is a very friendly attorney with expertise and experience in the law. On our Court day Mr. Malden put his all into presenting our case with vigor, power and strength. He put his all into representing us with a 1-2-3 sucker punch he came out swinging hard and heavy with the law,evidence and the hard truth. We are so proud of Mr. Malden's representation. I was so proud of him that I wanted to jump out of my seat with joy to give him a big hug right there in the courtroom but I didn't, I waited until court was over then gave him a big hug and a thank you,my husband was very pleased also. If we ever need any legal representation Mr. Malden is the attorney that we would call in a heart beat..He is very unique he is not your average attorney he's not only an attorney but the way he operates in the courtroom I see him as a General who knows how to take the lead. I have a nickname for Mr. Malden I call him Mr. General. My husband and I recommend anybody if you need legal help or representation please do not hesitate to contact attorney Nigel Malden. We guarantee, you will be glad that you did. Thank you for listening.

Hiring Richard Warner was the best decision I made this year. He is the only lawyer I will call when I need legal counsel because he has gained my absolute trust. His experience and knowledge show in the way he handled every aspect of my case. I felt he truly cared for both me and my family. He answered my calls personally. He often sent me emails to make sure I understood what was happening and what each step meant to my case. No question or concern I had was ever a bother. I am confident that had I not had Mr. Warner's counsel through out my case and present with me in court the matter may not have gone in my favor. I am not a wealthy person by any means. I come from a proud working class family. Richard Warner treated all of us with more then kindness. He treated us with dignity and respect. He is a good person that you can trust and that is priceless.

I wish Lori had represented me from the beginning - I would have saved a lot of money and a lot of frustration. Lori listened to me and helped me clarify my goals. She got me more time with my kid and she also got me a more reasonable child support order. My case was complicated - several attorneys turned me down before I found Lori. On top of that, my ex had a difficult lawyer. Lori handled my case with skill and professionalism. If you are looking for an attorney who knows what she’s doing and who fights for you and who gets results, hire Lori!

Lori represented me in two complex family law matters and a criminal defense case resulting from false allegations in my family law case. She was attentive, prepared, and passionate about my cases. I would highly recommend Lori and I hope I never need another lawyer but if I do, I know who I'm going to call! I thought because I'm male, the courts would be biased. Lori made sure I was always heard and treated fairly. She is also very affordable and she worked with me on a payment plan, which I truly needed due to the divorce! Great job, Lori. My children and I thank you!

Lori worked my divorce case a few years back and was fantastic. Not only is she a great lawyer, but she is genuine, trustworthy, honest and is always thinking of your needs first. She is always there to answer questions, which has been a lot lately (since my ex is not easy to work with) and she is EXTREMLY helpful. I will use her again if needed, and I would recommend her 100%.

I was involved in a 4+ year contentious divorce that covered 3 states, two false rape accusations and 2 small children. I simply cannot make this up. David Manni handled my case with exceptional professionalism, honesty, commitment, and tire-less determination that I can only describe as "Life Saving". I am a professional who stood to lose everything and because of him I have full custody of my children and a fresh start in life. He always returned calls and emails and made himself available as we prepared for trial and never waivered on me. His drive and determination kept me going when there were times I felt like quitting. He made me believe again that there are people who still care and believe in justice. I consider him " a brother" and will always be thankful that I chose him and he took my case. Finally, we negotiated a settlement without going to trial, saving thousands of dollars, time and mental anguish. There are not enough words to describe David as an attorney, person and friend. It would be a travesty if he did not one day become a judge. The world needs more David Mannis.

After being injured by a automobile accident, I tried to navigate the maze of insurance claims myself. It was very frustrating. A year after the accident I retained Sean to sort through everything. Within six months my claim was settled and I received monetary compensation from both my insurer and the driver's, which I had not expected. Sean and his staff were professional, prompt, compassionate and very easy to work with. I would highly recommend working with Sean if you have a personal injury claim.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Mr. Wallis. He made me feel so comfortable during this difficult time in my life. I have never been in trouble with the law, other than a traffic ticket 20 years ago. But this was totally different. He has so much compassion and understanding, which made it alot easier for me. He fought for me on my case and got my case dismissed. Without his help, I would not be able to move on with my life, So "Thank you so very much Mr. Wallis". I would definately recommend Mr. Wallis to family and friends.

Jenn Kaplan was by far the best attorney I've ever had. I've been represented by a few lawyers over the years and she is the only one that treated me like we were working together and she is amazing at her job. She spent days going through my discovery and looking through legal precedents to prepare for a pre-trial suppression motion that resulted in my charges being dismissed due to 4th Amendment violations. I offered her extra money after the case was dismissed because I was so happy with the results, and not only did she refuse to take it, but she drove half an hour out of her way so I didn't have to wait for the bus in the rain, and explained to me how she was able to use the illegal search to get the evidence suppressed and that the prosecution knew if they lost the motion they would also lose her motion to dismiss. She also does a lot of pro bono work for animal rights and holds seminars for people to familiarize them with the law and how to deal with police officers. She has a 3 part video on YouTube that anybody who wants to know what their basic rights are and how to avoid being tricked by the police into saying something you might later regret. I would recommend her to anybody no matter what the charge. She works hard, keeps you in the loop, and even though she's a brilliant attorney, she explains things in a way that makes you feel like she could be talking to one of her colleagues. I got her number from a friend who's been in trouble with the law a few times, and he said she was the only lawyer who actually made regular visits to visit him in jail to keep him in the loop about his case.

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.
