I had an excellent experience with them. Not only did I get the most favorable outcome I was hoping for, I felt at ease through the whole process. Everything was explained to me as we went along and all my questions were answered in a timely fashion. He gave me a price for the fee up front and nothing was added to it. I hope I never have to go through this again but if I do, I am coming back to J&J Law Firm.

Thank you Mc Kenzie for all you have done. She is driven, patient, kind, upfront and honest and aggressive where it’s needed which is in the court room on your behalf. You do not need a lawyer that’s scared of speaking on your behalf and she isn’t. I could not be more thankful for the communication and understanding that she gave me as well as the results in our case. Without her we wouldn’t have the outcome we have had, couldn’t be more thankful for all she’s done and her heart that she puts into this. She works very hard for people because she simply loves what she does and her clients. I will always be thankful for her. Thanks again for all your help, again you are amazing and I appreciate you! If you want a good lawyer, do yourself a favor and don’t look further.

I can't thank Bill enough for the incredible work he did on my DUI case. After being let down by my previous attorney's incompetence, I felt hopeless. However, from our first meeting, Bill demonstrated exceptional knowledge, dedication, and professionalism. He meticulously reviewed every detail of my case, identified errors made by my former attorney, and used that to build a strong defense. Thanks to his hard work and expertise, he was able to get my original plea significantly reduced. I am beyond grateful for his support and the positive outcome he achieved for me. I highly recommend Bill to anyone in need of a top-notch defense lawyer. He truly went above and beyond!!

Devika is an amazing person in general.. The way she cared for me, not only as a client, but as a woman wanting my independence, she made me feel so understood and comfortable talking to her. She answered all of my questions without making me feel any doubts. She reassured me anytime I had any doubts and was there for me at any time whenever I had any questions or if a new update happened she was always on time to update me… I would recommend Devika to anyone seeking professional help with immigration..

We sincerely want to thank God Almighty for this successful journey. But thanks to Devika Moonasar for the professionality in the way our case was been handled. She is the best Attorney anyone can use for immigration case. We appreciate Devika for this outstanding result in 6 months after submission. She did a tremendous job reassuring us through the process, that we were confident of a positive outcome even without meeting her in person. The first time my husband spoke to her, he knew she was the right person for us. We will recommend her to anyone 100%. The experience has been 5 star all the way. She is truly a professional. Thank you Devika.

Devika was a pleasure to work with. She made the process of filing so easy and was always available to answer any questions. My wife and I had no worries because we had Moonlaw offices providing us support and guidance at every step. Moreover, Devika is incredibly friendly and approachable, making it easy to ask any questions. She is fantastic and there could have been no one better to help us with this process! I recommend her wholeheartedly.

I have known and hired many lawyers; but Gerry has no match. That's the first time I've met a lawyer who deliberately refuses to overcharge a client. He reasonably charged me and allowed me to pay as he resolved and won my case. He was always there for me; my calls were promptly answered (weekdays and/or weekends). As I usually call him: Brother, "Only God can give you back what you've done for me!"

I always use these reviews to make choices and often wonder if they are real. I know for a fact now that all the great reviews on Gerald Salerno are true. We called on a Saturday and he immediately said I'll go in and meet you at my office. He is honest and diligently gets all the facts before advising. He will let you know exactly what is to be expected and what steps will be taken. He would answer any of our questions at any time. He was available by phone, email or text if we needed him no matter what the issue was. He made a difficult time so much easier, just knowing he was on it made a huge difference. He is experienced and knows what is needed and gets it done very efficiently. Even after he was paid and all was done he still contacted us at later dates to make sure all was going well. It was definitely a very good choice in hiring him.

I needed legal help to implement involuntary treatment for mental health issues for my son. Mr. Michael Rabideau was recommended to us by people who were satisfied with his services. Mr. Rabideau was very knowledgeable of the circumstances we were dealing with. His patience, listening skills and empathy helped us through this difficult time. He prepared questionaries regarding our son's present condition and past, that gave him a clear picture of the prevailing situation. He took swift action, surprising us, by accomplishing to meet all legal required paperwork within 24 hours, implementing the Marchman act without wasting a day. We are thankful to him and wish him the best for the future, where he will be assisting many people who will need services of an efficient attorney. Mrs. Abbas

Mr Strolla is a top notch attorney. He returns calls as soon as possible. He helped me with a criminal matter I was involved in. The reason he was referred to me and I chose him was because all of his Legal years experience as A State Prosecutor and in his private defense law practice. Not just my case I have followed Some of his cases with a very impressive win record. He has also been on several high profile cases in Florida. If you’re looking for a trial defense attorney Cory Strolla is your attorney.

I've had the pleasure of working with Cory Strolla on a few legal matters over the past couple of years, including one that is currently ongoing. I am extremely impressed with Cory's skills as a lawyer and I have benefited tremendously because of his legal expertise and advice. Cory is extremely knowledgeable in criminal and civil law. I am currently involved in a highly contested civil litigation case. Cory has done a tremendous job helping me navigate this challenging situation and the advice & expertise he provided were crucial in helping me secure a victory at a recent emergency motion hearing. His fees are very fair for the service he provides. He is extremely accessible, too. I have exchanged messages about my situations with Cory at all times of the day and night. There have been multiple occasions where I've messaged Cory questions near midnight and he has responded within a matter of minutes. I couldn't ask for a better lawyer and highly recommend his services to anybody in need of HIGH QUALITY, HONEST LEGAL REPRESENTATION AT A FAIR PRICE! Trust me, you'll be in good hands and you'll be grateful for hiring him to help address your legal issues. I can't say enough good things about Cory and will use him again in the future if I ever find myself in need of an attorney.

I highly recommend Cory Strolla as your lawyer! Cory is professional, diligent, and knows his stuff. He tells you like it is, the potential possibilities and then will work toward them. He has helped me several separate occurrences over the past few years and each time I find myself more astounded by the wonders Cory was able to achieve for me. He’s the only person I trust for legal advice and you should too!

I can’t say enough about Curt, Nicole, and Robert. My situation is extremely contentious and complex. They came into my (messy) case five years later trying to clean up another attorneys many mistakes and unjust rulings. I spoke to numerous attorneys prior to retaining them and most of the others practices refused to sign on to my case because of the complexity of the matter. Curt and his team not only reviewed my case and accept the challenge, they embraced it, learned my case inside and out and are determined to provide the justice my children and I deserve. My case involves custody, relocation, appeals, real estate, numerous motions, court appearances and more. They have handled everything with professionalism and extreme kindness. They are detail oriented and create well thought out plans of action. They keep me informed every step of the way. It’s comforting to know I have a team supporting me and who truly care about me and my future during the hardest times of my life. They have made themselves very available for my many questions at all hours, and have consistently shown that they are working in the best interest of my children. Their legal knowledge and experience are evident in their work and commitment to my case. I cannot express how fortunate and grateful I am to have found them and to have them representing me. I will continue to rely on them as I still have a long road ahead of me and I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking legal counsel.

I was in what I considered the worse situation of my life and had no idea what to do. Flynn Bertisch took my case and walked me through every step that I needed to take. I’ve never been in “trouble” before so to say I was scared was an understatement. My first conversation with Flynn, eased my mind and gave me hope. He worked so hard from the second he took me on as a client. Even after my case was declared as “no file”, he continued to answer my questions and simply just check in with me to see how I was doing. I can’t say thank you enough to Flynn! I highly recommend him to anyone in need.

He was always available when I had questions, and when I first spoke with him he gave me a long, detailed, and much appreciated lesson on the dangers of speeding given my age. Thanks to his assistance, my case was dismissed. I would gladly hire him again and I always recommend him to people with similar issues. He is by far the best attorney that my family has ever dealt with. Thank you!

Mrs. D'Alo was soft spoken, prepared, precise and to the point. This was an extremely emotional case, a bitter break-up, and a dog used as a pawn to win the other back. Mrs. D'Alo lead with the facts of the case, the rights of her client, all the while being played by a con artist, the defendant. After she won a temporary judgement for the me, the victory was never followed through on the defendants side. She calmed and encouraged me, even though i was grieving the lost of my support dog to just let her handle the case and justice will prevail. Mrs. D"Alo, asked exact questions needed for the case, while getting to know me. She didn't scare, she fought with know facts, honesty, and her better judgment. I fell apart many a times, as the waiting game was extremely scary and difficult, but my lawyer looked me in the eyes and said were here to win this, and the law is behind us, she made what seem like forever to me, needed in order for us to win and not come back here again. Mrs. D'Alo, won the case for me and my dog, and also won me a peace of mind that i will never be frighten to lose him ever again. Mrs. D'Alo was very compassionate and dedicated to my case.

Over 11 years ago I first met Rick when I was about to be charged with two 30-year counts. Because of his intellect, connections and careful planning, I went from spending the rest of my life in prison to non-adjudicated probation to having my charge sealed. If I were asked beforehand what I thought the greatest possible outcome was, I wouldn't have even believed that this would be the possible!
During my eight year probation I had therapy with hundreds of others who had the same issues I went through, and NOT ONE had the same outcome I got from Rick. There's no way to overstate this, if you want an outcome that will exceed your expectations, you NEED RICK ON YOUR CASE.
I owe my life and my freedom to Rick.

Our family used Mr. Hutchinson based upon a recommendation for a family member involved in a serious criminal matter. We had never been involved in anything like this. Mr. Hutchinson upon our first meeting was apathetic, knowledgable and concerned. Immediately we knew it was not a matter of just a job for him, but he genuinely was concerned on getting the facts and helping our family member. Promptly, he took action investigating, contacting those involved following steps to keep our family member safe and treated fairly. The situation continued for 9 months. During that time we were in contact with him often and he called us night and day. If we contacted him, he returned our calls immeditely. His professionalism and knowledge of the laws and systems is brilliant! We went to court and felt at ease with not only the preparation he had given our family member but his presentation in court. He had the facts of the case, documents to verify them, relentless in his pursuit of justice for our family member. To this day, we can still call Mr. Hutchinson and ask him a question and he is more then happy to talk to us and take the time for us. We are grateful for his service. Our family member would not be where he is today had Mr. Hutchinson not represented us!!!

I couldn't have been more blessed to have Summer Barnes represent me in my DUI case. I knew I was innocent and it was important to me that my attorney believe me before even viewing evidence. Summer believed me. Once she watched the footage she was ready for war. We rejected all plea deals and went to trial. We both believed in my innocence. I don't think there is anything more satisfying than watching the ..."cop" that arrested you crumble before your very eyes, at the hands of your absolute BEAST of an attorney. It was as good as watching your team win the Super Bowl. Honestly, it was hard not to cheer her on haha. Sure enough, after less than 45 minutes of deliberation, the jury found me NOT GUILTY. A moment that lives in my mind rent free. All thanks to the will and determination of Ms. Barnes. She's a hero of innocence. If she ever runs for public office, I'll be on the corner with a sign sweating and continuing to cheer her on. LONG LIVE SUMMER BARNES!

I had a problem with a dentist office that took 22k from me then sold their practice leaving me with unfinished work. And the work that was performed was less then average at best. Mrs. Barbosa took time out of her day to explain the process. Unfortunately the statue of limitations ran out. But she did a lot of research and was patient and understanding to my misfortune. She also advised me to report the dr to the proper authorities so they may have some reprimand. Nevertheless I would hire this young lady if I ever find myself in need of an attorney.

We were helping our motherwith getting an unwanted person out of her home. We called several lawyers and none would even give us the time of day. Finally we talked to Ms. Osta. She could tell we were at our end as to what to do and how to do it. She made us feel good about where we were and that we could finish this and win. She was on top of our case and fighting for our mothers rights. We are grateful for all she did for us. She is a wonderful lawyer and knows her job well. We would highly recommend her to anyone.

Ms. Weis has been great at handling my case, she was very clear in the initial interview when we went over my current status, she took the time to explain the options I had, the process each would take, allowed me to think which way I wanted to go, she answers my calls, charged a fair fee for her services and so far everything is going great! I am really happy with her services. I am recommending her to all my friends!

I met with her a second time to drop off documents and sign the required immigration forms. She kept me informed on the progress of my case and answered my questions. I highly recommend her.

I recently consulted with Ade on a personal legal matter. I was unsure if it would be beneficial for me to have an attorney represent my interests. Ade gave me excellent information on how I could handle things on my own, and also offered to work with me if I so desired. I felt that she took a personal interest in my situation, and her friendly advice was very helpful. The information she gave me helped me resolve my legal situation successfully. I highly recommend Ade Griffin, and will certainly hire her for any future legal representation that I may need.

I was very young when I was first arrested for a crime that I had nothing to do with or was ever involved in. I just graduated high school and then a week later was arrested and given almost 5 life sentences in charges. I was locked up and when Kelly first met me he told me he held out his hand and I shook it and he said " Shake it like you mean it" LOL. He then told me that although he was appointed to me he would treat me just the same as though I was a high paying client and he did. He came to see me every Friday and when he couldn't make it he sent his investigator to see me and to keep me informed. Kelly worked hard on my case and did everything possible to secure my freedom. A year and some months later, I was set free. It was the happiest moment of my life. I owe everything to Mr. Kelly. Without him I would not be here today. If you are looking for a lawyer that cares and works hard and has integrity then Mr. Kelly is the lawyer everyone should be hiring.

Mr. Landers helped my daughter with a complicated DUI case in Palm Beach County. We were quite concerned that she would become lost in the criminal justice system, or that the system would not be fair to her. Through Mr. Landers's exceptional legal guidance, sharp mind, and remarkable ability to navigate the criminal justice system, our daughter achieved an outcome that was more than fair. I'm grateful as only a mother can be for the peace of mind that Mr. Landers gave us during this period.

I called Nadine at the last minute, on the Thursday before Good Friday (a holiday), to help me with a situation that I felt was quickly sliding away from me. She dropped what she was doing, asked me come to her office, sat with me for a short time and explained to me what she recommended as the next course of action. I agreed with her and she immediately took action. During negotiations with the other attorneys, she kept and continues to keep me updated.
I have never had to use an attorney before and was so nervous about the entire experience. She was very focused and calming. I hope I never need to use her again, but if I ever wind up in a situation where I may need legal advice, I would definitely call her before I called anyone else.

I was recommended to Nicole by a mutual friend in 2005 and she assisted me in a child custody matter concerning my granddaughter. I have since referred her to friends and used her myself for similar cases, real estate transactions and other legal matters, all of which were resolved better than could be anticipated. The thing I appreciate most about Nicole and that separates her from other attorneys I have used in the past is the fact that she tries to get you to work the matter out with the other party and not have you cut off communication (a tactic commonly used by other attorneys to rack up their bill). She truly cares about helping you come to an amicable resolution. However, this being said she becomes a bulldog if necessary and the case goes to trial.

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.
