I had an illegal stalking case in 2007, supposed to get probation, Redfield made an agreement with the DA, but the defendant went on the stand for about an hour & ended up screwed over & convicted.
I stopped in yesterday & spoke with Redfield, but didn't remember him making an agreement.
If she wouldn't have gone on the stand, would have gotten probation.
He is retiring at the end of this month & won't take new cases.

By far the best family law experience I have ever had. I have been battling a custody case for going on 7 years. If we're honest I didn't really have the money to hire an attorney and had been doing it on my own. Well in short I had a couple disgruntled ex gfs and a biased g.a.l. against me. Mr Redfield handled it all very well. I almost felt as if my case was the only case he was handling although I know that wasn't the case. The biggest thing for me was his compassion. He and I talked for hours and hours...all of which he didn't charge me extra money for, as has been my experience with most other lawyers. We discussed a price and he stuck to it. Which was HUGE for me, because if he wanted more money I probably would have been out of luck. In court (which ended up being a 3 day evidentiary hearing) he couldn't have examined/cross examined better. He and I had some different thoughts on the process but I put my trust in him seeing as he's the lawyer. He didn't let me or my son down. In fact he couldn't have done better. If you're dealing with a custody issue choose this guy. You won't regret it. Every man I know feels they don't have a chance in custody court, pick Jared Redfield and you won't feel that way anymore. The cards were against me going in. But he brought to light ALL the facts that really mattered and showed the court what a fathers love truly means. And against the g.a.l. recommendation the judge ruled for me to have primary placement and sole custody. Which is truly what is in my sons best interest. From me and my kids. THANK YOU Jared.

From the outset Jared was a true professional. I was entering into what became an extremely difficult divorce case which was further complicated by my loss of job and an opposing attorney that would say and do anything his client wished regardless of facts. Jared will listen and advise accordingly. His calming demeanor helped me when things were at there most difficult. Jared is compassionate and actively cared about me during the whole process. There were hard times for me personally and Jared was there to listen and give comforting expert guidance and a plan forward. After a hard fought case, Jared prevailed and won the case. I cannot imagine having a more compassionate, knowledgeable and professional attorney representing me throughout this whole process.

I can’t say enough good things about Sean and his staff. I had a very messy divorce. I worked with another lawyer for seven months and he did very little for me except continually remind me that Wisconsin was a 50/50 state and that even though I brought significant assets into the marriage while my ex had, none, I earned about three times more during the marriage, and we were only married for a short time, I was going to have split everything 50/50 with him. He pressured me to agree to a very bad mediation deal.
Luckily, before having the judge finalize the mediation agreement, I came across Sean‘s reviews on Google. I wasn’t just looking at how many stars he was given but I read what people wrote about him. People repeatedly commented on his commitment, his dedication, and going the extra mile. I made an appointment for a consultation with Sean. Within the first five minutes of our meeting, he said, “Let me show you what the law actually says, I have had to educate other counsel and judges about this.” He printed off the actual law where it states that Wisconsin is a 50/50 state after consideration is made for the following items, which included length of marriage, what each brought into the marriage, and the length of the marriage.
After talking a little more, he asked why I didn’t have a restraining order and I told him that my previous lawyer told me it was 50/50 whether I would get it and that it would be inflammatory and work against me even though I felt very unsafe and threatened. Sean appeared very upset after hearing this, and disagreed, but continued to be professional and not bad mouth the other lawyer.
Sean was very brave about taking on my case this late in the game with a fast approaching court date and so much information to take in. Also, my ex hired a lawyer who I had heard said is the best divorce lawyer in La Crosse. I wholeheartedly disagree, because Sean definitely is the best.
I am still in awe of the commitment Sean made to helping me get a fair trial and a great outcome. I would see emails from him sent on weekends and in the middle of the nightat times. It was so reassuring to know he was on my side and so determined. He blocked out several days of his calendar so that he could familiarize himself with my huge stack of documents. As soon as I retained Sean as my attorney, I finally felt like I could relax and let him take care of it. I knew that no matter what happened with the results of the trial, I would be satisfied, because I had the best representation I could possibly have.
My hearing went on for two days. Sean was relentless in his effort to get me a fair trial and justice. In the end, the judge decided to divide the assets 80/20 in my favor. I did not get everything I wanted, but that never happens in court. It was about $70,000 that Sean saved me based on what my previous attorney was forecasting with a trial outcome.
In some ways, more importantly, Sean gave me the opportunity to tell my story and have it validated by the judge. He was so committed to making it clear that I tried so hard during the marriage and that my ex was dishonest and completely took advantage of me. It seemed that Sean felt a moral obligation to not let my ex take more from me and to have his greediness and dishonesty exposed.
I will also say that his staff was very friendly and hard-working. Sean went out of his way to try to save me money when he could by having me do some of the legwork if I wanted. He kept me consistently updated on status and promptly responded to all of my messages. Hopefully I will never need counsel again, but if I did, I would definitely retain Sean again. If it were possible to give him 10 stars, I would.

Sean took great care of everything from the jump. He worked with me on payment, as well as gave me practical and reasonable legal advice. He didn’t over promise but certainly delivered. I hope to not have to use his services again but he would be the first I turn to if I ever do.

Greg helped me through my whole divorce process and answered all of my questions. He worked with me through all of it until the end and made the process less stressful which I couldn’t thank him enough for. The fact that he’s personable made it a more comfortable environment. He was very informative and explained all of the documentation in a way I could understand. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a family lawyer.

My ex boyfriend who had lived with me for 10 years wanted half of everything I had after he had already agreed on and cashed the $20,000 cashier check that I had given him for half of the home improvements he helped with. Attorney Greg Jerabek won the case in less than a year and I did not have to pay my ex boyfriend any more money. Attorney Jerabek was easy to talk to, he was so supportive, explained everything. I could tell he has had a lot of experience and knew what he was talking about. I was able to email him and he emailed back right away. He has a great sense of humor. I was able to trust him. Despite being a lawyer, he still was a regular guy. I now consider him a friend.

Gregory helped us with our contract dispute. He gave us sound legal advice as well as some helpful insight as to what would happen in the courtroom before our small claims trial. Not only was he correct in his assessment but gave us support after the trial to help settle the situation and get us a good result. I would recommend him any day of the week.

First, I need to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to Casey and his team for all their hard work on my case. I genuinely believe he’s passionate about all his clients going above and beyond. My case was no different. He was incredible in helping me defend against unbelievable false accusations. The first time I came to his office I was still in shock as to the series of events that led up to the claims and with legitimate fears for my freedom. He took the time to listen to me and with compassion gave me a level of reassurance I needed. I believe with the utmost sincerity that his dedication, hard work, and thoroughness to cover all the bases and explore every possible resource has played an integral part in the outcome of this case. My innocence needed to be brought to light, and you did just that. Masterfully and with professionalism, integrity, intensity, and grace. Thank you for all you've done for my family and I.
A++ could not recommend a better criminal defense lawyer in Sheboygan and surrounding areas.

From the very first meeting, Casey was very diligent in learning about my case and finding a solution. Over a 9 month period, he was great about communicating next steps and helping me through the process. Ultimately, my case was entirely dismissed, which is not common for an OWI case. I would highly recommend Casey!

Attorney Justin Padway at Padway & Padway LTD, was referred to me by my business liability insurance legal team. Communication between them was impressive.

I was very happy with the resolution of my case. Sincerely thanks for your hard work. Justin made me feel he believed in my innocence. I highly recommend Justin Padway.

Where do I begin? Justin Padway was nothing short of amazing! He has a passion for not only his job but a passion for helping his clients, their futures and his clients families as well. We’ve been going through these cases for over 3 years and had trouble finding a lawyer that we feel would’ve did right by us. It’s hard seeing your loved one not get the true help everyone knows they deserve. This whole journey has been a roller coaster of emotions and Justin coming in, immediately put the family at ease. He’s organized, very thorough, hard working and just compassionate about every case he takes on. He listens to understand, he digs deep into the case, finds any and every flaw, and he always made sure to put his client first. He gave us all the information step by step, detail by detail and made sure he never left a piece of information out. We searched high and low for an attorney that we were comfortable with and actually trusted and Justin Padway was just that! An amazing person inside and out and truly has a passion for what he does.

We turned to Vladimir Gorokhovsky when another lawyer did not take our case. He carefully listened to our story, asked his questions and explained what we needed to successfully complete the business. When all the documents were collected and sent to him, Vladimir very quickly and professionally decided everything in our favor. From the very beginning, he inspired us with confidence that we would win. Although we were in different states, I always felt his presence and support. This lawyer is the best I have ever met. He is a high-class professional, a subtle psychologist and a wonderful person. I recommended him to all my friends and I advise you to contact him only if you really have a serious problem and need professional help.

Fair pricing. Excellent results. Hired them to represent me for a traffic violation with points. It was reduced down to a non moving violation with no points. I drive for a living so this is important to me. If I had taken off of work I would have lost wages and probably would not have gotten the same results. It was worth the money to have them represent them. We organized everything remotely and I didn’t have to miss any work. No worries through the process. Clear communication. I would recommend them!

After my brother-In_law sat in MCJ for 18 months going through one incompetent PD after another I retained Mr. McClure. In just a few short months he was able to obtain a complete dismissal of all charges. All for a very reasonable fee. Something that four PD's were not able to do and countless private attorney's were not willing to do without charging an arm and a leg.

Mr. Thomas McClure, I just wanted to say thank you for helping me with all my Waukesha court cases and the process of getting through it. I am very happy with the results and I’m glad the judge is giving me a chance to make things right again. The probation will definitely help me continue to stay sober from alcohol and substances, which is a good thing. It’ll be better for me to quit drinking, not just to stay out of jail, but also for my health and future life as well. Thanks again for your help in all of this. For anyone that is looking for a very professional and skilled lawyer that can get you the best results, I would recommend experienced lawyer, Mr. Thomas McClure.

I contacted Mr. Prusinski after being accused of a very serious crime. He walked me through an otherwise unfamiliar legal process that took nearly 3 years, ending in a trial where I was acquitted. One (of many) things I can appreciate about his guidance is his honesty. He didn’t sugarcoat anything. He also was extremely well at making sure I made the decisions in the case.
His assistant Brittany also was very good at promptly updating me on important dates and even went as far as to help me shop for proper attire for the courtroom (which I had none of).
It was very clear that he is well respected by all in a courtroom setting.

I was very pleased with the outcome of my case. After almost 3 and a half years of figuring out what I wanted to do I finally decided after much discussion and after exhausting every possibility. All options were explained to me by Mr. Prusinski to my satisfaction and easily understandable. I was always kept informed by Britney or Mr. Prusinski himself. It was a bright experience for a bad mistake and poor decision.

At a time when our family was going down an uncharted territory facing a very difficult task of dealing with the challenges of our loved one facing very serious charges, we began our search for legal representation. The prospect of losing our loved one to the criminal justice system was a reality where our son was facing being charged with two Class C Felonies and potentially serving a maximum sentence of 60-years. Facing such serious charges, we knew that it was crucial in finding the right attorney to not only represent but also believe in our son, recognizing that he was a young man who made a very bad decision but willing to fight to provide him a second opportunity in life. During our very first conversation, we knew Attorney Ohiku was the right person to represent our son. Attorney Ohiku truly embodies, “Caring for the Whole Person”, as from day one he showed true compassion. Attorney Ohiku throughout the entire process was very straightforward, readily assessible and very responsive. It was through Attorney Ohiku’ s hard work, experience and professionalism that ultimately led to one charge being dismissed and that ensured our son received both a fair and favorable outcome. Our family will always be forever grateful for his guidance and dedication. Attorney Odalo Joseph Ohiku is a true blessing.

After receiving a direct mail solicitation, I called and spoke to Attorney Patrick Alan Hall. Like many other reviewers' experiences, he picked up the phone when I called. He explained the process of traffic court and advised me on my specific situation saying it could be handled by me without an attorney. I attended court myself and the outcome was what he had predicted. Making that 5-minute phone call was invaluable in preparing for court and that appearance saved me quite a bit of money.
I am leaving this review as a thanks to Attorney Hall for talking me through my situation and options and not soliciting me. If you find yourself fighting a ticket, a call to Attorney Hall is worth your time. Thank you, Attorney Hall.

I called Patrick last week (Sunday, with 10 minutes before closing time) with questions in regards to a recent speeding violation. Although he didn't need to, he spoke with me and answered my questions in a polite and helpful manner. Personally nervous and never having such a citation before, he walked me through some scenarios specific to me. I couldn't have been more relieved when we got off the phone, and I'd like to return the favor by leaving him this review. Thank you Patrick.

Dear Mike,
You’ve never been my lawyer, unfortunately but you have given me great advice. Born and raised in Appleton and my Aunt was the city treasurer for many years we trusted our city. My city has let me down with corruption. I don’t say that lightly. You truly gave me amazing advice. You also didn’t deny that these things happen. My Aunt was honest she knew you just as you were getting started and thought you had great morals. She was right. Retire Mike you’ve earned it! You’ll read my story on a beach far away. You are a hero! And Appleton I’m a warrior! Thanks again!

Great group of people working together. Jeff surprised me by the level of accessibility throughout the process. He is well-informed about all the twists and turns that the legal system has when it comes to dealing with an OWI and related offenses. If I decided to step on a slippery slope of crime and punishment, I would definitely retain him. If you got an OWI, and especially if it is your first one, do yourself a favor, meet with Jeff.

My 20-year-old son is a good kid who's had a rough childhood. Critical self-esteem issues drove many of his decisions that resulted in several serious and varied charges across 4 different jurisdictions over a 10 month period. It was a mess that Attorney Kippa handled for us even though we complicated it by following through with our plan to move out of state immediately upon retaining him. Despite all that, he delivered for my son the best possible outcome, and he did it with the grace and respect my son desperately needed given his emotional condition. It was of the utmost importance to me that I find an attorney who had genuine compassion for what my son was going through, and Attorney Kippa proved time and again to be that person.

To say that Corey is one of the most hard-working lawyers I've met is an understatement. We hired him for a serious allegation that included a felony charge if convicted. From the moment he was hired, Corey spent countless hours with us on phone calls or Zoom calls to review evidence and strategize a plan of action. He and his team went over an enormous amount of information, motions, and hearings which ultimately ended in a dismissed case after several years of fighting. I thank Corey for his dedication to this case and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer.

I not only recommend attorney Corey Mehlos, but I guarantee once you meet and consult with him, you too will look no further. He responds to communication in a extremely timely manner, he is a very knowledge, and trustworthy, but can be a pit-bull in court. There is no other attorney that will work as hard for you. Corey is respected in the WI. legal community I trust him, and seriously appreciate everything he has done for me. Corey Mehlos helped me get my life back on track, and I consider him a friend. Corey is a a wonderful attorney, I could not have been happier and I will never go anywhere else.

First and foremost, I want to start off by giving a Million Thanks to Corey Mehlos for being an amazing lawyer and for always keeping Myself and my husband up to date with every detail of his case and for fighting for him and seeing the good in him and not the “Criminal “that they viewed him as.
In 2021 my Husband was hit with a Conspiracy Charge that held a sentence of 52 years. When we got this devastating news, we did not know what to because at the time we had no money for a lawyer because I was putting myself through college at the time and I was not working then that year we were blessed with Money and was able to afford a lawyer just to find out months later that he could no longer represent my Husband due to a conflict of interest and he has to drop my husband as a client. Me and my Husband are big on Our Faith and Trust that no matter what with God we will always find a way. I prayed for months for God to send me someone that he knew would fight for my husband. I remember the very first conversation I had with Corey and I knew in my heart that this was the Man that was going to fight for my husband and he did just that. That first call we had talked for a while and I had explained everything to him and I remember him saying “Well I will be more than Happy to take his case” Not knowing all the details or the extent of the case. We Hired Corey in the beginning of March 2022
And he went right to work on my husband's case and his work was nothing short of amazing. He was Resilient, Hardworking, Genuine, caring of our feelings and was a Brilliant Lawyer in every aspect of what a lawyer is supposed to be. Fast for till today , Mind you During this whole process 52 years was hanging over my Husbands Head but we never gave up hope we never lost faith in fact we were at ease knowing how hard and willing Corey was in fighting not only for My Husband but for Our Family , and seen what type of patient faithful people we were and never once fell short of his obligations as a Lawyer , So again Here we are Today 11/01/2022 and I can Sit here and Say with the purest of Joy and happiness that WE WON OUR CASE!!!!!! My husband faced again 52 years and with Corey Fighting for us, my husband walked away with No JAIL TIME!!! HE was given timed Serve on a Case that was literally keep him locked away from his family for more than A life time. There are not enough Thanks Yous or Gratitude or appreciation to Show this Wonderful Man other than God Bless you for bringing our Family back together again and saved my husband's life He had my Husbands back 100%! He's so invested in his clients and he gives his all and then some, as they were walking out of Court after the sentence was heard and them giving My Husband Time Served , Corey Looks at my husband and said “ I'm proud of you “ when in reality we are so very proud of him , and what struck us the most is that during the Court hearing he left my husband Speechless could even speak to the judge because of every good thing he had said about myself and my husband that there were just no words other than this man fought with every ounce of resilience and for that we are very Thankful !

I was extremely panicked when I contacted my local lawyer regarding an out-of-state traffic ticket issue that became a very serious issue for me. They referred me to Andrew Mishlove.
He was able to convince the WI ADA to look at my case and consider a lower plea, reducing the ticket such that it is no longer a problem! I highly recommend the Mishlove team! They did not let me down!

Andrew not only helped me though a very traumatic experience by giving me honest, blunt advice, but after he looked at my case he gave me his "gameplan" on our defense and it made total sense! From his very first consolation to the end, he never told me what I wanted to hear (like other lawyers told me) & always gave me excellent legal advice.
As for the court room...Andrew is a BULLDOG! He filed at least 4 or 5 motions that were denied by the judge, but he didn't quit. My next phone call, he had a different strategy in mind, and when he took that to the Milwaukee County DA, he chose to dismiss all charges. WOW!
Also, Andrew has been around in the DUI game for over 30 years! It seemed like he knew everyone & everyone knew him. I know personal contacts are not supposed to mean anything in the justice system, but come on, we all know...it's who you know!
It is true, Andrew is more expensive than other attorneys, but you have to consider what you are getting for the higher fee. You could go with a PD, but they have so many cases and aren't paid alot, so your odds are terrible! I'm sure they're are some hard working PD's out there, but let's be honest. Then you could go with a lawyer that charges less but I guarantee you will get what you paid for!
With Andrew, you do get what you paid for...a HIGH class DUI defense with a super knowledgeable attorney who will fight his tail off for you.
If it's not obvious...I HIGHLY recommend Andrew Mishlove with all my being!

In 2014, I was charged with a first-time OWI in Wisconsin that was due to prescription drug use. It was clear to me that it was going to prove to be a very difficult case, so I searched extensively for the “best” attorney I could find in the Southeastern Wisconsin area. I met and spoke with several of the “best” recommended. There were some “best” attorneys who weren’t even interested in representing my case as they deemed it was “unwinnable” and not “worth their time”. I was shocked by that response. Luckily I found Andrew Mishlove. While Andrew never said he was going to win my case, he also never said it was not “winnable”. Andrew was honest, straight-forward and very direct. He always told me like it was and never sugar-coated anything. I was always aware that I could lose, but I knew I wanted to attempt to win with Andrew. It was the BEST decision I have ever made; one that could have had very serious repercussions to my personal and professional life. Andrew and his team treated me with the highest level of respect and courtesy for the entire duration. Andrew is firm, but kind and caring. He researched everything and went the length to find professionals in pharmacology who could represent me if and when needed. I truly appreciated that. In the end, I had the most desirable result, for me: a great success to not have an OWI on my record and in my life. Thank you Andrew!

Mark was extremely helpful when I was dealing with a charge. He walked me through the steps in a way that I, someone with no experience with the legal system, was able to understand. He stayed in contact with me about how my case was progressing and what my options were. I was dealing with possible ramifications of my case on professional licensing. Mark was knowledgeable about this and also sought advice from colleagues who specialized in professional licensing to get me the best result. Ultimately his efforts led to my case being dismissed. Would highly recommend his services.

I hired Mark Maciolek for a hearing and he defended me as expected. I had explained the circumstances and he sounded sure that it was a do-able case. Quiet, but methodical in his delivery in & out of court. He is knowledgeable about the law - he took time to question and explain strategy, he explained the need to remain flexible in our defense. He/we prepared for a couple different ways the hearing could go, he prevailed. Grateful for his experience and calm positive demeanor.

I came into my case as a young man and completely Oblivious to the court system and Mark made me completely comfortable. He made sure I understood that there’s no Guarantee, but that he would do everything in his power to help me in my situation. In the end it all worked out and I couldn’t thank anyone but him. You want someone who gives it to you straight and someone who will fight for u and give it their ALL it’s MARK! I’d recommend him to anyone and everyone I know. He was invested in my case and I couldn’t ask for anything more!

As confusing and frightening as the criminal justice process can be, you need a fighter with the level of expertise and reputation as Robert Keller.
My case was a PAC 4th and after difficulty achieving a more favorable outcome with my previous attorney (the “deal” we were offered was 3 years prison and probation), a family friend referred me to Mr. Keller. I immediately felt at ease and that my case was in the right hands after our first conversation. Mr. Keller asks questions and listens as much as he is diligent in examining the case to clearly outline the process and possible challenges and outcomes. He kept me informed every step of the way and I felt my chances for an acquittal or dismissal were very good. And that’s exactly what he delivered. Within a month, my case was dismissed and I was able to move forward with my life.
You need not call anyone else if you need a skilled criminal defense lawyer with the demeanor of a wise and trusted family friend.

I hired Adam for defense of an OWI I received. I received the best outcome possible, and it was due to Adam. Super professional straight to the point and goes the extra mile to help you thru all the twists and turns of an event like this. I couldn't be more grateful. I wouldn't recommend anyone else if you find yourself in a situation like this.

I had a delicate case that involved many complex issues. I am so grateful that I was able have Adam represent me! His knowledge of the law is unmatched, along with his calming demeanor , he is the perfect lawyer. With my delicate situation, he worked endlessly and went above and beyond for me. In the end, Adam was able to have all major charges dismissed and was able to get the minimum according to sentencing guidelines on the lesser charge. I literally don’t want to think where I would be right now if it wasn’t for Adam. If you need a lawyer, hire Adam-period.

Renee helped us with a couple of custody cases and an adoption. Everyone in her office was easy to work with and very responsive.
Renee was referred to us by a number of friends and professionals. The only people I spoke to that did not like her were individuals that were on the opposing side of a case. Which is exactly what we needed. She is thorough, and having her on our side really made us feel much better about a difficult experience.
Our case was complex but Renee was able to sift through the details, lay out our options, and help us get going in the right direction, ending with our desired result of the adoption of our son.

Renee represented me during a rough time in my life while I was attempting to obtain a restraining order.
She took her time to get to know the details of my case prior to the court date and answered all of my questions. I never felt like I was rushed during our meetings or that I had to re-explain myself. She just "got it". Her staff was also helpful and organized with their paperwork/email communication.
As someone who has never gone to court for anything before, my anxiety about the entire process was high. However, when Renee met me at the courthouse, my anxiety diminished. With her assistance prior to court, I felt prepared. And, more importantly, she was fully present and ready to handle my case. You can tell in court that Renee has extensive experience and there's no substitution for someone who has seen it all! I was impressed with her quick thinking, ability to analyze on the spot and react with intent to represent her client to the fullest extent of the law.
If you are looking for solid representation with an experienced attorney who will take her time and make you feel more at ease, I would highly recommend Attorney Mura.

Mr. Marry was vigorously recommended to me, with absolute promise of his success, were he to handle my DV case. Facing felony charges and the ruin of my foreseeable future, I went to Phil an absolute wreck. I was shocked at how calm, composed, and collected he remained, and at how hopeful he was for my situation. His secretary, Mrs. Jen, was just as wonderfully reassuring, and confident in his abilities. Phil worked with me financially, explained every step of the process, and ensured that I was aware of every possible outcome of my dire circumstances. He facilitated the passing of information to all parties involved, and I believe it was this aspect of his multifaceted professionalism, that granted me an Ordinance, rather than a Felony charge. Thanks to Phil Marry, I am able to spend time with my wife and better myself at home. I cannot possibly express my thanks and recommendation sufficiently enough.

A friend recommended Sarvan to me after he hired him and Sarvan was able to get his OWI dropped. My case was very different but he worked with me, was patient and after 2 years and many delays, he was able to get my case lowered to a ticket(kind of). I feel so lucky to have hired him and was able to get my record cleared. I'd recommend him to anyone who needs help. He is great at what he does. Worth every dime! :)

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.
