I have been a client of Ms Gold's since April of 2014. She has,in my mind, been very helpful and knowlegable explaining the law as regards to divorce. She has advised me and helped through this trying time. She has gone out of her way to be accomodating with my night shift schedule. Ms. Gold did a tremendous job in my first hearing for post sepperation, alimony, and lawyer fees, which I won. My divorce is still pending, but soon to be over. My only complaint is that on a couple occasions she was late for my appointments.

Mike Crowe is an excellent attorney and I highly recommend him. I worked with Mike on my DWI case and found that he and his staff were very compassionate during a difficult time, ready and willing to answer questions, looked at all angles of the case, and provided sound legal advice on my case.

After interviewing several lawyers, Helen was by far the most organized in what it would take to marry my Canadian partner and get him a visa. She made the process understandable and her checklists on actions or documentation to complete were outstanding. We were also able to text her questions and get fast responses/answers. We highly recommend her!

I contacted this number for help with a DMV hearing. I was told it was going to be 200$ to get started with pulling records and going over them. All pretty standard except how little I actually got for the 200$. Spent maybe an hour on the phone for 3 minutes of information. Then I was quoted 2k for the hearing help. I would look down the street.

I have been working with the Tisdale family for 30+ years. Anytime something comes up, Ken is my first call. I have never considered going elsewhere. Without question, Ken is hardworking, knowledgeable, and effective. I would likely not be where I am today had it not been for Ken (and his father prior to that). I hear stories of lawyers being too busy, non responsive, or overall inconsiderate and my experience with Ken has been the complete opposite of that. No one likes to be in the position of needing a lawyer, but knowing that I can call Ken (if needed) gives me and my family a lot of peace of mind. I would highly recommend working with Mr. Tisdale and plan to keep working with him for the next 30 years.

The law office of Stephen Ball has been up front and listened to any and all questions I had in regards to my husband case. From day one he told me what to expect and i am totally grateful that he was assigned to his case. He is very thorough in going thru the facts and many hours of evidence and statements that were provided to him from the DA office. I will always be grateful for everything that he has done. I would recommend him to anybody. His assistant was always able to get answers for me when Stephen was not available.

If I could take a full page ad out, I would! I can only hope you find your way to these reviews. The positive reviews are true. Mr. Desrosiers, was recommended to me and I count my blessings I listened. I had a DUI and Mr. Desrosiers walked me through ever step and court update. We had a plan from the first meeting and because of his energy and professionalism, we executed that plan. I can not say everyone will have the same results however, I would still want him to represent me. My case was dismissed! It should be added, Mr. Desroiers, was formally with the DA's Office.

I was referred to Jon Kurtz by my estate attorney. Jon enlisted partner Elise Whitley for perspective and backup. While no one enjoys a divorce, Jon and Elise made it understandable for me, a first timer. As we worked through the process, I gained confidence in their knowledge and capabilities. While researching divorce opinions, I found case law that Jon had argued (successfully). Good to have that experience in your corner. Not to mention an adjunct professor at Wake Forest and a Legal Elite.
We were stymied by foot-dragging opposing counsel, and the added burden of ending Covid, but Jon keep the momentum going, with steady reminders and requests for responses, getting commitments.
Ultimately we did get a settlement I felt was reasonable.
My take-away is that the Kurtz firm brings a sense of dignity and respect for the law, exceptional experience and knowledge, and the competency needed for successful family practice.
I have no hesitation recommending Jon and company, without question one will receive services of the highest order.

I just wanted to take a moment to recognize the outstanding work of Ursula Walder. In the past I have consulted with Ms. Walder on a number of issues in which she is very well versed. From starting non profit organizations and disability law to general speeding tickets, she knows her stuff. She is prompt courteous and most importantly well well rounded in general law practice. Her ethical standards are well above excellent. As honest as they come and fair. I would highly recommend her services to anyone needing assistance.

My fiance and I had been unfairly targeted and falsely arrested. I was charged with multiple felonies and misdemeanors suggesting I was a drug dealer, maintaining a drug dwelling and contributing to the delinquency of my teenage son. I was absolutely traumatized by the experience and scarred that I might pay even more consequences for something I had not done. The public defenders office could not take my case due to them representing my fiance whom had become my "co-defendant" so, my defense had been placed in Ursula Walder's hands by the court. My case slowly went on for almost a year and a half. During that time, I never waited even one day for her to return my calls! Ursula would spend as much time as needed to make sure ALL of my questions were answered and made sure I was aware of everything along the way regardless if the phone call or meeting took HOURS... Ursula never made me feel that "she had better things to do" even offering to have a meeting the following day to examine the case together when she felt I wasn't satisfied with the hours we had just spent over the phone. Honestly it was more frustration that I couldn't "magically turn my case into what I wanted as quickly as I demanded"..lol I will always and forever be grateful for her telling me what I NEEDED to know, wether I liked what she was explaining or not, and not getting fed up with me and just telling me what I WANTED to hear...this complete honesty on her part, ensured that I understood exactly what I needed to know about every charge and how convictions of each charge would affect me personally for the original charges and each and every plea offer along the way.Most importantly,by not ever sugar coating my situation, I KNEW I COULD TRUST HER AND EVERYTHING SHE TOLD ME TO BE THE TRUTH! PRICELESS!! Not to forget, if my case was just going to be postponed, she always gave me a call as soon as she knew(between 1day and 1week ahead of time!) and was able to have my appearance waved...I will forever be an advocate for Ursula Walder. I absolutely suggest calling her to defend you in any criminal mess you may find yourself in. She spent countless hours and helped me through each and every plea offer I turned down for 18months. Which is when she spent days up and back between myself and the Assistant DA to accomplish the best case sinerio... ALL CHARGES VOLUNTARILY DISMISSED BY THE PROSECUTION! Ursula accomplished this for me as my court appointed attorney...that says so much more than words could ever say...THANK YOU FOR LITERALLY SAVING MY LIFE!!

My husband had an issue from several years ago and did not reside in Lexington, NC. Carlos was able to do all the footwork and coordinated with the DA, even with us being out of state to get the issue dismissed. I would highly recommend Carlos, he is very personable, knowledgable, and always available for any questions or updates on your case via text or phone call. Lastly, he is VERY affordable!!!! It was an overall pleasure for myself, as well as my husband to work with Carlos and his pleasant and highly efficient assistant Jean. Thank you both!!!!

Mr. Harris was extremely kind and eager to help me with my case. He took the time to review all of my documentation with me one on one where he provided valuable insights into some of the claims I was facing. He then proceeded to check in with me after our initial consult, to see how the legal process was progressing, and to ensure I was receiving legal counsel to help resolve the matter.
It was very clear to me after that initial meeting with Zac, that he is passionate about helping others, and is dedicated to his profession. I would, without hesitation, recommend Mr. Harris' firm to anyone seeking assistance for civil suit representation!

Writing this review because of the unacceptable and costly administrative errors made during the handling of my case. Egregious errors include the attorney failing to prepare any argument points for negotiation, blaming his performance on his failing memory, double billing for hours already paid for, and ultimately *losing my settlement check* within his own office. He billed me for time he spent looking for the check he had misplaced, and withdrew funds from my settlement check without permission or providing a bill for services. I know these administrative errors are atypical for law firms. Unfortunately, I made a poor choice in choosing this firm to represent me.

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.
