I hired Thomas to cover a misdemeanor case. I had a clean background and made a poor decision that could cost me everything. Thomas being a former prosecuter helped work with the prosecuting attorny for results . I truly couldn't have asked for anything better. I would recommend him to anyone.

Our family members case about DUI, had gone out to the federal and Mr. Michael Vincent and one of his federal lawyer friends, Mr. Peter Caly, made the best arguments a DUI attorney could ever make and got my family member out after four court hearings. We had hired another attorney before but he wasn't as powerful as Mr. Vincent and Mr. Caly were. Thanks to Mr. Vincent and Mr. Caly, our family member came out of jail after three months of fighting for his innocence.

Robert knew how to turn a bad and scary situation around. He was very helpful and informative with my case. Helping me feel at ease and hopeful when things were looking down, Robert helped me understand the process and the outcome of my case. Highly recommended for his knowledge, communication, experience and understanding of everyone’s unique situations. 1 year later and he still responds to my texts or calls whenever I have questions or a refresher. 10 stars*

This dusche bag had been referred to me by someone else. He called me twice before the court hearing on a traffice ticket. But he didn't show up to the hearing. I lost the case. He later told the referral attorney he hadn't even talked to me! He's the absolte worst and a big liar. The attorneys working in his law firm don't even call you. Buyer beware!

What kind of investigation does a city do prior to hiring as their City Attorney? If you are a person that plays by the rules, you will want to stay away from this guy! My estate planning was a joke, since his handy work I have had to pay to get everything he did cancelled and started all over again with someone that actually knows what they are doing, don't get me started on the money wasted working with him. What a joke, this guy is worse than the typical ambulance chaser.

Karl Barr handled a case for me against my ex business partner to reclaim my business that was wrongfully taken from me. he failed to submit evidence regarding my case that was important. he did win the case for me but did not follow up and collect the money he won for me. He also charged astronomical fees and as my attorney i
I trusted him and signed every paper he told me was necessary incli
uding 2 mortgages he told me to sign 1 on my $300,000 home and 1 on the business he won for me in the case he represented me in. He told me he would never foreclose on these mortgages and stated he would "Get his money from which ever sold 1st". He has ruined my life. He foreclosed on my home and then my business and is currently trying to evict me from my business even though the 6 month redemption period has not expired. He bought my $300,000 , which he never put up on the sheriff sale, for $40,000 and my business for $25,000 which he stated in several documents was worth anywhere from $320,000 to $370,000. He then quit claim deeded the business from himself to a corporation he owns for $1. He stated on the deed that it was not worth more than $100. the business was my only means of support and he knows this and has even sent a copy of the quit claim deed to the city so the water bill would be sent to him and when he recieved a late notice he demanded the water be shut off causing my business to shut down for 3 days until it could be determined he had no legal right to turn it off. He is currently doing everything in his power to make sure i cannot make the money to redeem the property.

I cant say enough negative about this lawyer. He was hired to defend a case where an employee left drugs in a company van which was in the back of the van in the tool box for that employee. According to rory himself the police officer made multiple mistakes in the search. there was a 1 hr. interview done by a detective and the police officer that was never noted or mentioned in the report. There was over 8 items in the police report that was incorrectly stated and reported. Some of which made me look as if i was not only guilty but as if i was a user of the drugs found. Prior to court dates rory told me and my wife REPEATEDLY that he was going to fight this case and get things taken care of. the day of my first court appearance instead of fighting the case i was not guilty for AS WE DISCUSSED he made a agreement with the prosecuter came back to me with the deal and then said its a btter option. HIS EXCUSE was that if we didnt take the offer and lost the judge WOULD most likely sentence me outside of the guidelines. thinking of my business and wife i assumed he had my best interest at hand. After we walked out of the court room he stopped to talk to me and my wife and said "even though i think we would have had no issues beating the case you taking the plea is a much better way to go." I couldnt believe this lazy ignorant kid was turning to me AFTER telling me i need to take the plea because im going to be sentenced out of the guidelines if he cant beat it...he then less than 20 mins later tells us he could have beat the case no problem!!!!
On top of him not doing his job, i have had 2 back surgeries since 2005 i've been in a pain clinic where i get monthly injections, i do monthly physical therapy, and for over 12 years i have had THE EXACT SAME MEDICATION PRESCRIBED. Because of the case i have to do urine screens, rory has been in front of my judge 4 times each time me and my wife have basically had to BEG him to address the judge and get my medications okayed so they do not violate me. Not one single time did he address the court. I was violated for drug screens because the judge had not okayed the medications DUE TO RORY BEING AS LAZY AND IN EXPERIENCED AS HE IS. after the 4th court date when walking out me and my wife got mad and asked why he did not address the court AGAIN FOR THE FOURTH TIME. his answer was "do you want the judge to take us serious or not?" we couldn't believe that we actually heard that come out of a lawyers mouth! the situation made me so mad i told him i would be looking for a new laywer and walked out. to show his maturity rory twice made the comment to me "good luck". It was seriously like dealing with a college kid living with mom.
Finally as if he couldnt get worse my case is still not done, he never addressed the court, MY DRUG SCREEN PERSON had to contact the judge the judge said he would give rory 24hrs to contact him and get my medications straight, all rory had to do was call and what does he do he DROPS ME AS A CLIENT when the case isnt even finished and still will not take care of something we have been asking him to do for 3 months. PLUS HE SENT ME A BILL FOR 300 more dollars when i paid him 900$ he has spent 2 hrs in court and not once put work into my case. We are taking him in court this week
i recently found out this kid just recently graduated from law school which explains his complete ignorance. But you will clearly see when you meet him how he cant even take care of himself or his office so why would he be able to take care of anyone else. I should have listened to my wife!

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.
