I thought I had gotten help from Sasooness. Until I had to return to the same orthopedic doctor for a different reason. Come to find out they never paid them. I had to pay an $800 charge that was supposed to be paid with my settlement. The Drs office verified they sent the paperwork necessary for payment but they never responded. Now they won't answer my calls and keep hanging up on me. I will be contacting another lawyer regarding this issue.

There are so many points that add up to a 5-star rating for Ben Mironer. He did everything possible to defend our case and our prayers were answered. He developed a strong defense that resulted in the best court ruling possible! Ben is so conscientious and professional and he truly represents his clients with remarkable honor and respect. He established clear and consistent communication throughout the case and always welcomed any questions with patience and he provided honest and straightforward advice. His confidence in planning a defense and leading us through it was such a relief. I would recommend Ben to anyone who is looking for dependable and expert legal representation. He is absolutely a 5-star choice.

From the initial call to the decision in court, Ben was trustworthy and a pleasure to work with. Out of the six lawyers I spoke with, Ben was the only one that believed in my case against the DMV. His communication always comes from a place of compassion and understanding. Needless to say he WON our writ against the DMV when everyone else said I didn't have a chance. We won our initial writ and the DMV decided to appeal to a higher court. Needless to say, Ben took on the new case and was equally communicative and helpful. Ben always made the time to talk and provide updates. I never had to speak with anyone other than Ben himself where he was continually demonstrate full understanding and interest in my case. We won again, and again I owe it to the amazing representation I had with Ben. I would and will refer any friend of mine to Ben. His ability to see the law at a human level is second to none. In the most stressful time of my life I was able to put my trust in Ben. Thank you again sir, everyone else do yourself a favor and give Ben a call!

Ben Mironer personally handled my case from the beginning to the end. He consulted me at every step of the way. Not only was he knowledgeable, he helped calm my nerves on a very stressful circumstance. He genuinely cares about you, and is vested in your success. He's also a great criminal attorney to boot. He knew all the ins and outs of how to defend my case. Aside from getting a great result I made a friend for life. It really makes a big difference hiring a great lawyer.

I had two cases -- one in State Court, and one in Federal Court. I consulted with several attorneys and couldn't get a straight answer from any of them. A friend referred me to Mr. Passanante. I could tell right away that he was very experienced -- and after I explained my situation to him, he quickly came up with a plan. Not only did he get my sentences to run concurrent, I only had to serve less than a year in jail. Both my wife and I will be eternally grateful to Mr. Passanante for all the effort he put into my cases.

I was involved in a serious car accident and the insurance company attempted to exclude part of my damages on a legal technicality. John and his staff zelaously protected my interests and the insurance company eventually accepted full liability on behalf of their insured. My settlement fully compensated me for my damages. On a personal level, John was always a pleasure to deal with. He was always available to answer my questions and concerns, and he did so in a way that did not make me feel I was wasting his time. I wholeheartedly recommend John as an attorney.

Thanks to Rafayel’s Law Firm’s tireless efforts and commitment, we achieved a settlement that far surpassed what I could have hoped for. Their dedication and attention to detail were nothing short of remarkable. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome, and it’s all thanks to their expertise and hard work. I will forever be thankful for Rafayel Law Firm’s guidance, support, and care throughout this journey.

I can't express enough gratitude for the exceptional service and dedication provided by Rafayel and his team. I was in a car accident almost two years ago. I was hit by a semi-truck on the freeway and spun out. Needless to say, I saw my life flash before my eyes. I had originally hired another attorney and had to part ways 3 months before the statute of limitations, because I was doing all the work. I was beyond stressed and frustrated. Not knowing where to turn, I called Rafayel's office, and he took on my case hesitantly but gracefully and only due to the 3-month time frame to work and close on the case. Rafayel carefully explained the process and laid out a clear strategy for my case. To say that Rafayel was committed and dedicated to my case is an understatement! The work of this office is truly admirable. Within a couple of months, Rafayel skillfully and efficiently attained maximum compensation with his relentless ability and dedication to my case. Thank you, Rafayel, for the outstanding support and commitment! Rafayel is a phenomenal attorney; I highly recommend him!!

I couldn't be happier with the way my Lemon Law case was handled. From the start, Rafy was super hospitable and really easy to talk to, which made everything way less stressful. He always answered my calls,never ignored me once, and was always there to answer my questions, no matter how small. He was super professional too, especially when dealing with the other lawyers. You could tell he knew his stuff and had my back the whole time. He worked really hard to make sure I got the most money possible, and he was extremely helpful every step of the way. Honestly, I felt like I had a friend on my side who just happened to be a lawyer. Good to know there’s people who still care out there. 10/10 would recommend and definitely returning for any automotive law related matters!

I was a 31 year firefighter with VCFD. I had numerous on the job injuries, the worst were cumulative trauma to my back. Trying to use the county’s work comp system was most often slow, unpleasant and a waste of time. Thanks to Mr. Sherwin, I was able to get through the process and receive treatment. By the time I was reaching the end of my career, Mr. Wicke was able to deal with the county’s attorneys and bureaucratic nonsense. In the end, I received a deserved medical retirement. Unfortunately, I still have unresolved medical issues. Mr Sherwin was able to again deal with the Sedgwick (workers comp) and get all my issues settled. In this way I never had to go through the county again and can seek my own treatment through my insurance. This process is much quicker. Days instead of months. There is no way in Ventura County to manage this process without this great team of lawyers.

I had the unfortunate experience of working with Richard on a legal matter, and it was an absolute nightmare. From the beginning, it was clear that they were more interested in collecting their fee than actually providing competent legal representation. They were consistently unresponsive, unprepared, and lacked any semblance of professionalism. Not only did they fail to meet deadlines and provide accurate advice, but they also demonstrated a shocking lack of knowledge of the law. In the end, their incompetence cost me time, money, and a favorable outcome in my case. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this attorney unless you enjoy throwing your money down the drain.

I recently worked with Bob on a legal matter and was thoroughly impressed with his professionalism and dedication to his clients. From the start, Bob made it clear that he was committed to fighting for the best possible outcome in the courtroom. He was attentive to my needs and always made sure to keep me informed about the progress of my case. One of the things I appreciated most about Bob was his ability to clearly explain complex legal concepts in a way that was easy for me to understand. He was patient and always willing to answer my questions, no matter how trivial they may have seemed. In addition to his expertise in the legal field, Bob also showed a genuine care for his clients. He truly looked out for my best interests and went above and beyond to ensure that I was comfortable and confident throughout the legal process. I highly recommend Bob to anyone in need of legal representation. He is an excellent lawyer and an even better person. Overall, it was a pleasure working with him and I am grateful for all of his hard work and dedication.

Bob is absolutely one of the best Attorney's you will ever come across, he's an amazing attorney that actually cares about his clients, he's literally one of the best out there. We are so grateful to him for what he was able to do for us. He's the type of person that restores your faith in a profession that you had lost faith in, a real example of what an attorney should be. Me and my wife had given our case to what you would refer to as a sleazebag attorney, the type of attorney that gives a bad name to all other attorneys, he literally stole our money, made us feel like s**t, and left us with no answers, so I had to find another attorney. Distraught and discouraged we found Bob on yelp, apprehensive at first to not have to go through anything like that again and hoping we find someone good, we called Bob. From the first time I talked with Bob, he made us feel at ease and took the time to answer any and all questions we had, we didn't feel rushed at all and he encouraged us to reach out to him with any other questions or concerns we had. I've dealt with other attorneys in my life before for many different reasons, so I know how attorneys behave in general, they keep you in the dark, you don't know what's going on, they don't call you back, some steal your money or charge more later than they originally quote, and you feel like your case doesn't matter in their whole scheme of things, I've only met like one other attorney who was our bankruptcy attorney that was really good. Bob gave great advice, fair prices, he was patient and took the time to answer and explain everything to us, and he did what he said he was going to do, also always called us at important times to keep us updated. We always knew what was going on and what the next step was going to be, and he handled everything so well that we felt that we were in really good hands. At one of these times he called us and gave us great news that our case was finally gonna be dismissed, me and my wife were going through so much stress at the time and after we got that call my wife started crying and we hugged because we knew that one challenge that we were so unfairly going through was getting closer to come to an end, and Bob made all that possible. Life is about love and helping others who are in need and Bob was a Godsend that helped us through this difficult time. Thank you again Bob we will never forget what you did for us at a time when we were going through so much stress and grief. Thank you so very much!

I cannot speak highly enough about the incredible team at the Law Offices of Todd M. Friedman. From the very beginning, they exhibited the utmost kindness, compassion, and friendliness, making what could have been a daunting process feel manageable and supportive. Their trustworthiness was evident throughout, always keeping me informed and ensuring my best interests were at the forefront.

I would not recommend Andrew Wyatt. Do not hire this man. Andrew Wyatt is a con man and disgrace to the legal profession. The only time he was nice when he wanted me to pay him the huge retainer amount of $8000, he demanded. He made promises that he would work hard on my case, and he is accepting my case because it's a strong case. Once I paid the retainer, he showed me his true colors. He made no efforts to work on my case except doing copy paste of the claims. Andrew misrepresented me in the court filings and even supported the opposing party to file sanctions against me based on misinformation his was spreading. Each time I asked Andrew about my case update he would either ignore and/or use unprofessional and disrespectful language to insult me. Andrew is just a petty thief who stole my hard-earned money with no intention of working on my case. Andrew even took bribe from the opposing party/double-dipping to not work on my case and withhold case information from me. This man just steals retainers from his clients and runs. Unfortunately, I didn't see other negative reviews before hiring this man. All the good reviews you see are fake reviews from Andrew's equity partners and friends.

Mr. Wyatt is an excellent attorney. I wasn’t sure how things were going to work out due to Covid, but Mt. Wyatt communicated to me through emails, phone calls, and the mail. Mr. Wyatt is professional, reliable and honest. He always answered any questions I had in a fast and prompt manner. I would highly recommend Andrew Wyatt to anyone who is in need of an attorney.

I hired him before on a different case. I filed bankruptcy. I owed money to someone he knew and he called me angry about the debt. He asking me why I did that. I told him I had to file bankruptcy. Later he called me to his house to help him with something. And that's when it happened. His dog attacked me at his house in Woodland Hills and he's acted like it didn't happen. His two daughters were sitting on the couch and watched the whole thing happen. All they did was laugh. When I was on the ground in pain, he asked, wasn't it your birthday yestoday? And I said yes and he said Happy Birthday. In court they awarded me $50,000 pain and suffering but nothing for my medical. My medical bills were over $50,000. I ended up with nothing but pain. He's a true gangster.

My husband was on probation and was subject to "probation sweeps" by LAPD periodically. During a sweep, LAPD tried to fabricate a case against my husband because they found 2 bullets buried in a pile of dirt, junk and crap in our garage that we had no idea was there. They arrested him and were trying to give him 2 years in prison. I knew if I allowed the public defender to continue representing my husband, he would be sent to jail for a crime he did not commit. I called Todd Melnik and he met with me that evening and I explained the situation. He instantly went to work while I was sitting in his office, making phone calls and gathering info. He is very kind, patient, and always has a smile. He returns phone calls and emails very quickly, and always takes your concerns seriously. He was very accommodating with his fee, which is also extremely reasonable. Todd was able to have the ridiculous case dismissed during the preliminary hearing.

My experience with Todd Melnik was wonderful! From the very first appt, Todd made me feel comfortable starting with his warm and caring attitude. I was very impressed with how my case was handled. And in the court I was not even asked a question due to the work that Todd Melnik had put into this case. He was easy to get a hold of and very informative. If I ever need another criminal attorney I will not think twice before calling him. I highly recommend Todd Melnik to anyone who requires legal representation.

What a Criminal Defense Lawyer Can Do for You

A criminal defense lawyer provides legal representation to individuals or organizations accused of criminal conduct. If you're facing criminal charges, a defense lawyer will work to protect your rights, build a defense strategy, and ensure you receive a fair trial. Their primary goal is to reduce or dismiss charges, secure an acquittal, or negotiate a favorable plea deal.

Criminal defense lawyers have extensive knowledge of criminal law and court procedures. They investigate your case, identify weaknesses in the prosecution's evidence, and represent you in court, ensuring that you have the best possible defense.

When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?

It’s crucial to hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible if you are facing any criminal charges. Some situations in which you should seek legal representation include:

  • Arrest or police questioning: If you've been arrested or are under investigation, hiring a lawyer early on can prevent self-incrimination and protect your rights during police questioning.
  • Felony charges: Crimes such as murder, assault, drug trafficking, or robbery carry severe penalties, including long prison sentences. A defense lawyer is essential in these cases.
  • Misdemeanor charges: Even for less serious offenses like DUI, theft, or simple assault, a lawyer can help reduce penalties, negotiate alternatives to jail, or get charges dismissed.
  • Plea negotiations: If you’re considering a plea bargain, a lawyer can evaluate the deal, advise you on its consequences, and negotiate for more favorable terms.
  • Probation or parole violations: If you’ve been accused of violating probation or parole, a lawyer can defend you against additional penalties or revocation.
  • Juvenile offenses: For minors charged with criminal acts, a criminal defense lawyer can protect their future by minimizing legal repercussions or keeping the case in juvenile court.

What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?

Criminal defense lawyers provide comprehensive legal services to protect their clients’ rights throughout the criminal justice process. Their duties include:

  • Case evaluation and investigation: Reviewing the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and investigating the facts to develop a strong defense strategy.
  • Legal advice: Advising you on your rights, the charges you’re facing, and potential defense strategies, including whether to take a plea deal or go to trial.
  • Negotiating plea bargains: Working with prosecutors to negotiate a plea deal that could reduce charges or minimize penalties.
  • Court representation: Representing you in all court hearings, including bail hearings, pretrial motions, trials, and sentencing hearings.
  • Filing motions: Filing motions to dismiss charges, suppress evidence, or reduce bail, depending on the specifics of your case.
  • Trial preparation and defense: Preparing a defense strategy and presenting arguments, evidence, and witnesses during trial to contest the prosecution's case.
  • Appeals: If you are convicted, a defense lawyer can appeal the conviction or sentence, arguing errors in the trial process or legal rulings.

How Are Criminal Defense Lawyers Paid?

Criminal defense lawyers generally charge clients in one of three ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Payment structures include:

  • Flat fee: For straightforward cases (e.g., minor misdemeanors), some lawyers charge a one-time flat fee that covers all aspects of the defense.
  • Hourly rate: For more complex or ongoing cases, lawyers may charge by the hour, with rates varying based on the lawyer’s experience and geographic location.
  • Retainer fee: In cases where extensive work is expected, the client may pay a retainer fee upfront. The lawyer then bills against that retainer for their work on the case.

The cost of criminal defense services can vary greatly, so it’s important to discuss fees during your initial consultation.

How Much Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a criminal defense lawyer depends on several factors, including the severity of the charges, the complexity of the case, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost guidelines are:

  • Misdemeanor cases: For relatively minor offenses, such as a DUI or petty theft, a flat fee may range from $1,500 to $5,000.
  • Felony cases: More serious charges, such as assault or drug trafficking, can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the complexity and duration of the case.
  • Hourly rates: For cases billed by the hour, lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on their expertise and the case's location.
  • Additional expenses: You may also be responsible for other costs, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, or the cost of private investigators.

Be sure to clarify the lawyer’s fee structure and any potential additional costs during your consultation.

Top Questions to Ask a Criminal Defense Lawyer

Before hiring a criminal defense lawyer, you’ll want to ensure that they’re a good fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask:

  1. What is your experience with cases like mine?
    Make sure the lawyer has a strong track record with the specific type of criminal charges you’re facing, whether it’s DUI, drug offenses, or violent crimes.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Ask how the lawyer charges for their services and whether you’ll be responsible for any additional costs.
  3. What are the potential outcomes of my case?
    A good lawyer should provide an honest assessment of your case and the likelihood of dismissal, a plea bargain, or conviction.
  4. How many cases have you taken to trial?
    While many criminal cases settle with a plea deal, it’s important to hire a lawyer with courtroom experience in case your case goes to trial.
  5. Who will handle my case?
    Ask if the lawyer will be personally involved or if other attorneys in the firm will handle most of the work.
  6. How do you communicate with your clients?
    Be clear on how often and through what channels you can expect updates on your case.

How to Check the Credibility of a Criminal Defense Lawyer

To verify the credibility of a criminal defense lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Check their standing with the state bar: Confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any past disciplinary actions or complaints.
  • Read online reviews and testimonials: Platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google can provide insights from previous clients about the lawyer’s communication, professionalism, and case outcomes.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should have past clients or other professionals who can speak to their competence and work ethic.
  • Review their case history: Look at the lawyer’s website or professional profile to see their experience with criminal cases, including high-profile or complex cases.
  • Look for trial experience: If your case might go to trial, make sure the lawyer has a strong history of courtroom advocacy and success.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your first consultation with a criminal defense lawyer, bring the following:

  • Details of your case: Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the charges against you, including any documents related to your arrest, police reports, and court dates.
  • Criminal history: If you have any prior criminal convictions, inform your lawyer so they can understand how that may affect your current case.
  • List of witnesses or evidence: If there are any potential witnesses or evidence that may support your defense, share this information during the consultation.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Prepare questions about their experience, legal strategy, and fees to ensure you understand how they will handle your case.
  • Bail or release documents: If you’ve been released on bail, bring any paperwork related to your release conditions or restrictions.

By being well-prepared, you can help your lawyer quickly assess your situation and begin building an effective defense strategy.
