I was injuerd at work and after workmans comp reviewed my case, they said it wasnt work related. Even after getting the paper work filled out by my surgeon, verifying that the injury I sustained was from my work related accident and I was still denied workmens compensation.
I found Domer Law doing a google serach for workmens comp laywers. Reading about the firm and reading the reciews, I contacted them. Brandon Brown took the time to listen to my case and took me on as a client. He was amazing! He took care of everything. He fought for me and what was right. I am so happy to say, I just received my settlement check!
Thank you Brandon and the Domer staff for always keeping me updated throught my case and explaining everthing and answering all my questions. Especially relieving me from the stress and anxiety this incident caused me. I couldn’t of done it without Domer Law.

My experience with Kim and Lavoy was simply amazing! I worked with Jamie who was so attentive, quick, and thorough with fighting my ticket, getting it reduced and saving my license from suspension! She was very kind, and answered all my questions and emails very quickly! The job was done perfectly! If I have anymore citation needs I will be going with them forever! 10/10!!

Couldn’t be happier with the representation by Attorney, Ben Lutgen. Ben was a consummate professional and guided me through a very difficult situation. I would not hesitate to recommend Ben as well as Kim & LaVoy. Definitely a cut above.

Avoid this firm at all costs. Madeline C. Bitto is the most inadequate attorney I have ever encountered. She failed to review my case or provide a proper defense, which directly resulted in my loss of school choice, primary placement and decision-making authority for my children.
Her unprofessional conduct during my hearing included playing with her hair and wedding ring while drinking Starbucks, and she was clearly unprepared. Madeline C. Bitto even asked me for guidance on what to do before the hearing. To make matters worse, she abandoned my case just before the hearing during the week of Thanksgiving, recognizing her own incompetence.
Additionally, this unethical firm did not refund my money. Please invest in qualified legal representation and avoid this firm, which operates with the same disregard as the discount retailer, Walmart.

I’d spoken with a handful of family attorneys before having the pleasure of interacting with Madeline, and immediately I knew I was in the right place. The care and professionalism from her and the team at Divergent was above and beyond, and really put me at ease throughout the entire process. I cannot recommend Divergent strongly enough. Family matters require the best lawyers, and that’s who they are.

I paid them approximately $5,000 and they didn’t do anything for me. They showed up to two zoom court dates that took about 30 minutes in total. They assigned me an attorney wi was straight out of college, then quit. So then I got assigned another attorney who again appeared to be right out of law school. But I figured she had a great staff around her and that I’d still be in good hand’s, but was I wrong!
It seemed to me that they just wanted it to go trial so their part of the contract was fulfilled and they could suck more money out of me. They never even tried one time to contact my ex to work out a deal in order to avoid trial. I think I figured it out and they probably spent five hours on my case all together and that is very generous on my part because it was only probably about two hours, expert I gave them another three as the paralegal probably entered my financials in their system, which was never even filed with the court. Then they asked me for more money and just didn’t sure to for ac court date; I found it from the judge that I was no longer getting represented by the firm.
So I cashed the firm and wanted the main last who would be the one to issue out refunds give me a call, which never happened. They however had the attorney call me av couple times but I had told them I didn’t want a call from her, only from the other lady.
Go somewhere else because these people are what give matters ac bad rap. They charge a flat rate which they make it seem like it will be in your favor and maybe some of these attorneys are great but I didn’t have that experience. I just know I wouldn’t risk it

HONEST REVIEW-2 years ago, I went through the scariest time of my life. I was going through a divorce and had a very bad drinking problem. This led to my 3rd OWI. I didn’t hurt anyone, myself or get into any car accidents. I was less than 2 miles from my home. I pulled over and was immediately taken into custody. I was terrified. I don’t believe alcoholism is a choice, but I know that I broke the law.
I of course, like many, wanted the best lawyer to represent me. I called around and mostly looked at the reviews online. I focused more on the lawyers with the best reviews and read the reviews that most related to my situation. Grieve Law had a 4.8 out of 5 star rating. I spoke with Tom Grieve and he was very informative and made me feel very comfortable. I asked if I could book with him as my lawyer, but he was unable to take on any more clients. He recommended Glenn Gaskill. He told me Glenn knew just as much as he did and was a very respected lawyer. He also had a good relationship with the DA in my county. After more questions, I decided to make the arrangements to book with Glenn. I received a discount if I paid all up front, so I reluctantly agreed to paying the $9,200 (after discount) to book with Glenn.
I heard from Glenn fairly quickly, and was not worried in the beginning. It didn’t take long for me to realize what kind of lawyer Glenn was. It took days for him to respond to emails. Sometimes, it would take upwards a week. And when he did, he would respond with 1, maybe 2 sentence responses. It almost seemed as if he was responding to me from his cell phone because of the shortness with most of his responses. When I would try to call him, at any point, he was never available. The receptionist that would answer the phone was also very rude and short with me. When I would ask when Glenn would be in, she never knew.
During my case, my anxiety was super high. I have a family to take care of, a job, and many other responsibilities. I felt during my entire case, I was treated like a criminal. I felt that everyone treated me like a criminal, but my lawyer (and especially at $9,200) should have been the last person I should have gotten that treatment from. I gave Glenn many defenses that he could use in my case to help with the outcome, and I feel he ignored them all, saying it was relevant. Most of the time, I kept up to date on my case by going online (wcca website) because he didn’t communicate with me. There were many times I emailed him and told him how upset I was he wasn’t getting back to me.
Glenn is not the type that has any emotions towards his clients. He is very monotone and didn’t care about me as a person at all. I understand being a lawyer can lead to this type of non-emotional response, but you should care about your clients at least a little. My 2nd OWI lawyer was a fraction of the cost and he was always keeping me updated on my case and showed a lot of emotiontowards me in person and in the courtroom. This led to me receiving a 12 day house arrest, 18 month license revocation and 6 months outpatient treatment. I would have contacted him again but was too embarrassed.
As time went on and things didn’t get any better, I finally contacted Grieve Law and asked to speak with Glenn’s superior. The person I spoke with said they would speak with Glenn. Glenn contacted me shortly thereafter and we met in person. He said that he was confident in my case and reassured me he would be better at responding to me and making me feel more assured and up to date. Things did get better for a short time. I was given the option to switch lawyers but we were so close to the case concluding, I didn’t know what good it would do to start all over again. Plus, he reassured me things would get better. Long story short(er), my case concluded and all obligations have been fulfilled. I feel that for the amount charged, definitely not worth it.

Matthew is a bold strategist that tackles issues head on with the goals of his clients being his utmost priority. I contacted Matthew as soon as I knew I had a hearing (a day prior!) He immediately reached out to me and gave me a consultation. Speaking to Matthew gave me the confidence I needed to hire him to keep my innocence. He immediately took note of my side of the story in full context and told me of what to prepare for in the charging court. Matthew's wit and knowledge was important in getting my case completely dismissed before I was even charged!

We had a fantastic experience working with Lotfi Legal regarding our immigration process! I came to our initial consultation with a complex situation and many questions after having done my own extensive research. Atty Fuchs found a path through to meet our goals that we didn't realize was available to us, which ultimately saved us many years and thousands of dollars compared to paths other attorneys were recommending. We worked together to file our applications quickly and were lucky to have full resolution of our case in a short timeframe. We couldn't be more grateful! It can be difficult to know who to trust regarding immigrations concerns and I cannot recommend Lotfi enough.

Shabnam Lotfi and her team appeared in our lives when all hope seemed lost for our Petition for Alien Relative case. They expertly guided us through a seemingly complex process, providing clear explanations and personalized attention. Their extensive knowledge, keen insight, and compassionate heart made all the difference. Thanks to their exceptional service, we now have high hopes of reuniting with our loved ones soon.

Leah Thomas was an excellent lawyer in representing my son. She spent the time and effort to get to know a complicated situation and to get to know us. It was obvious she cared about our family in her actions and words. I was concerned about another lawyer being stoic and “just doing their job with the minimal work necessary” but Leah went above and beyond my expectations and it was very apparent that she cared about the outcome as much as we did. Leah communicated well during every step of the process and made herself available any time we needed her. Due to her effort and commitment, my son received the best possible outcome. I would absolutely recommend her as a criminal defense lawyer.

If you want the finest criminal defense attorney, look no further than Rebecca M. Coffee
Rebecca M Coffee is truly Milwaukee's SUPER criminal defense attorney! She got my case dismissed. She is highly intelligent, thorough, and every trait I wanted in an attorney. She followed up without delay and gave me an extraordinary amount of advice. I don't know what I would have done without her services. I feel incredibly lucky and felt compelled to write this review so that others can feel as grateful as I do. If you need a criminal defense attorney who cares, choose Rebecca M Coffee

Attorney singleton is hands down the best attorney I've ever worked with. I was facing around 10 criminal felony charges and not my first time around the block. Mr singleton was amazing the entire ride. His knowledge and passion for his work is incomparable in and out of the court room. The fight that this attorney presents in court gave me reassurance that no stone would be left unturned and that's exactly what he did. In the end he got my case 100% dismissed. If your freedom is at stake, call this man and buy yourself some peace of mind.

Attorney Justin Singleton and Attorney Thomas James have been a great help in defending myself, family, and friends for almost 5 years. The Singleton Law Firm has always been fair, affordable, and has mounted several defenses that has been successful in proving the truth and protecting the innocence of their clients. I personally would recommend the Singleton Law Firm to anyone who has legal issues.

Attorney Singleton is the best!! From the time I spoke to him and throughout the case he has been nothing short of amazing in explaining the process and the possible outcomes but also making sure I understood what was all going on. I appreciate all of the time, preparation, dedication and patience he had with me while dealing with my case. Not only did he exceed expectations with one case but in my time of need he jumped in to help me with another situation that had come up. No matter the time or day he made sure the line of communication was open whether it was via telephone or email and that all of my questions or concerns was answered. I truly appreciate The Singleton Law Firm for going above and beyond during one of the hardest years of my life. I would 100% recommend this law firm to anyone looking for a great defense team. Again I can’t thank you enough attorney Singleton.

Thank you to Attorney Michael Hayes for getting my 7th offense OWI dismissed in September 2021. In 2017 I was arrested for operating under the influence of my prescription medication. The state troopers looked at my prior convictions but not at the roadside situation & facts. Mr. Hayes proved to the Judge and DA that I was in fact not impaired. Now that this looming cloud of dread has been lifted, I can finally live my life and move forward. My gratitude to Attorney Michael Hayes is enormous, words can’t fully express. Mr. Hayes and I put in years of hard work challenging every, I mean every, aspect of the seventh offense OWI case against me. His cross examination of the trooper who stopped and arrested me was in fact like you see in the movies as he broke down every, not just one, but every statement the arresting officer made and proved it all to be false. Attorney Hayes uncovered and then highlighted every fact that supported my innocence, and from the start of the case he firmly believed in my innocence. He kept telling me that if we can show the Judge the unfairness of the arrest, the Judge would rule in our favor and dismiss the case. When the Judge said the trooper didn’t have the right to arrest me, the DA moved to dismiss the OWI 7th. This was one of the happiest days of my life. I’m not sure anyone would’ve ever fully believed I was innocent if Mr. Hayes wasn’t there to prove it as it was my word against the police til he took my case.

Concern #1: Do these guys know what they are doing? I was impressed with their structured approach. This made me feel comfortable that nothing would be "missed." Their free video library helped me understand trusts / wills. The videos also showed their knowledge and professionalism.
Concern #2: What is their patience for answering questions? Trusts / Wills are new to me and it is easy for my mind to glaze over. This was not their first "rodeo." They answered / anticipated my questions until I felt I had enough understanding.
Concern #3: What happens if I have a life changing event or there are issues after I die? They set up a process to deal with these issues.
Why did I want to get a trust? I was the personal representative for two estates. Probate is a tedious, expensive and time consuming process. The money I spent to establish my trusts is significantly less than probate costs.
In a short period of time I was able to make sure my estate could be settled quickly and easily.

Daniel was the best and kindest lawyer I’ve yet to interact with. He reassured my mom, he was honest about what needed to be done, he listened to my worries and concerns and never spoke down to me, and he worked hard in my defense. By working together, he was able to demonstrate my innocence and get my case dismissed and so I am extremely happy I chose him to represent me!

Very bad experience with Rob. Forgot court date and information that I told him. When he presented the DA’s deal to me, he left out details. Not a trial lawyer so be warned. Told me the DA would never dismiss my case but they did because they didn’t have any proof of the false charges I was being charged with.

Attorney Dickey was the attorney on behalf of my son and myself in a very stressful and financial ruin for both of us. His professionalism, knowledge and compassion he had towards us the entire time we were working with him proved to us that there would be no other Attorney we would have wanted to help with this lawsuit. His hard work and dedication to not only our insurance company but to my son and myself showed volumes on not only who is as an Attorney but as a person as well! I would highly recommend Attorney Dickey and his Law Firm to anyone I know in the future. There are not enough stars to show our gratitude to him and his staff. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts, keep being who you are because that's what makes you an outstanding person! Stacey and Taylor.

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.
