Bard Weinstein is the man! He truly cared about my case and my freedom. The state was not coming off a year in DOC, until I called Mr Weinstein! He was more than fair, he allowed me to make a down payment and make monthly payments. I got four months county jail with work release, I drive my own vehicle to and from work five days a week. Bard saved me and my family, my freedom was left in Bard’s hands and he more than prevailed. I literally hired Bard based off these Avvo reviews. You want young and hungry, Bard is your guy.

After days of research on law firms in the valley that specialize in gun rights I contacted the Heath law firm to help me restore my 2nd amendment rights after a mistake I made almost 30 years previous earned me a class 3 felony on my record. Paula was very helpful and kept me updated on the process. They were very patient with me while I collected character letters to add to my petition and it was a very easy process overall. I received the news this morning 10/4/23 that my motion was granted and I am free of the prohibition that has followed me since 1996. I would definitely refer the Heath law firm to anyone looking to get their life back in order.

Mark took my criminal speeding ticket to the judge and got it reduced a four hour defensive driving class. No points on my record or court costs

03 May, 2023 by Anonymous

I recently moved to AZ from CA, and I was pulled over (speeding), and the cop that pulled me over told me I was lucky he wasn’t going to arrest me, because I was going (what he said) was 20 miles over the posted speed limit as well as in a school zone. I was completely shocked, since this was my very first time being pulled over in the 20+ years I’ve been driving. The cop told me that I will need to go have my fingers printed and get my pictures taken. This whole situation was eased when I reached out to Mark and his team. After our first conversation on the phone I knew I was in good hands. I felt that Mark and his team listened to me, and provided me with the very best outcome possible. I am so thankful. You rock and if I ever need an attorney I will definitely use Mark and his team again.

Tony handled my case professionally and was always readily available with any questions or concerns I had for him. He helped take the stress out of a challenging situation. Kind and organized lawyer.

My partner and I live together on our farmstead near Asheville. Our home is our sanctuary and we are very openminded and honest people, in retrospect, a little too trusting. I rented the extra bedrooms in the house to supplement income, I was also secretly cultivating a personal medical cannabis grow in my barn about 500 feet away on the property, behind locked doors; a completely private, nonviolent crime that is legal in 11 states and increasingly so. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to us, it appears that one of my tenants decided to go behind our backs and order a kilogram of MDMA from a "source country" have it delivered, with his name on it, to our front doorstep. It was scary because we were all subjected, without consent, to conspiracy in trafficking narcotics. Of course, the package was flagged by HS and BCAT initiated a raid upon our home. The tenant was arrested on the spot, and fortunately the officers were able to determine based on their observations that the tennant was the sole suspect in this MDMA trafficking. But they also found my grow... the officers did not arrest me on the spot because I was courteous and complied with their investigation. I was fortunate to find Tony Rollman and after talking with multiple other attorneys, I hired him as my lawyer. Tony helped me navigate the legal paperwork and the process of turning myself in. Tony advised me in a highly specific ways and was very reassuring and supportive. His fee was more than the other lawyers that I looked into, but I believe it was worth it because he went above and beyond and now I am on the path to having 0 felonies. Tony is highly responsive, gives his personal cell number and answered my calls nearly all times of the day or evening. My whole situation was drawn out by the court for 8 months and Tony never let me down. This experience has been incredibly frightening and traumatizing for me, my partner, and my family and I really would have felt helpless without his legal services. Tony thoroughly explained each step of the process and took the time to make sure I felt better. Tony is professional, personable, and has a good sense of humor so he definitely lightened the mood. After due process, Tony helped me appeal to the District Attorney and I was awarded Deferred Prosecution, so after 12 months probation, community service and court fees, my charges will be dropped. THANK YOU TONY ROLLMAN!

I hired Tony Rollman for help with some legal issues I was having and I am 100 percent glad I did. He was so thorough and spent so much time listening to me and knew exactly what needed to be done to help me. He was also very direct and honest with me and did not make false claims or assumptions like many other lawyers do (like when they promise you they can help you, even though they know they can't do anything to help you - they just want your money). He treated me with respect and was so professional and experienced. I am so happy with the results Tony got for me so I am recommending him to anyone and everyone I know because I know Tony can help them too.

Mr Bartz handled my case with compassion, professionalism using all his expertise. He is definitely a great attorney. Glendale is one of the toughest courts but he was persistent never gave up.

I hired Laura because of her experience with Federal cases. She was perfect for my experience. Knowledgeable, a great listener, conservative, compassionate. She gave me the expert counsel that I needed. She showed me heartfelt compassion and was emphatic toward me and my case. She was brilliant star on my path, helping me resolve some issues that I had with the FBI. I thank her from the bottom of my heart.

I sent Laura an email asking for lawyer help, I had all kinds of questions, scared feelings, and needed a lawyer fast. She called my cell phone within minutes and was an immediate help.

Following a horrific vehicle accident, my nephew received the harshest possible charges for an event that we felt was not deserving of such excessive retaliation by the state. He was assigned a public defender who, while good-natured and good-willed, seemed increasingly incapable of doing more for my nephew than simply going through the motions and hoping for some good luck. I decided that I needed to help get a more determined and effective attorney. I had some contacts and got numerous recommendations for "the best" attorneys in Phoenix. Most did not even bother to respond to my inquiries. Someone recommended Marci Kratter, and after reading her statement of purpose and values on her website, I felt we had found the right lawyer for my nephew. I asked her to look at the case and give it to me straight. She responded that this was a terrible situation made more terrible by the egregiousness of the charges against my nephew and that she felt certain she could help. She offered to split her fee with another attorney, Larry Kazan, who was an expert in handling vehicular cases. The result of their efforts was a drastically reduced sentence deal for my nephew, one much more commensurate with what had actually occurred. Larry Kazan shredded the testimony of the state's accident reconstruction agent, proving that much of the charge against my nephew was based on inaccurate and misleading assumptions. His reputation was more than lived up to. He and Marci Kratter were tireless in their defense, massively effective, and generous with both their time and their approach to financial matters. I cannot recommend him sufficiently to match his expertise.

11 Jun, 2015 by Derek

Mr. Kazan is currently representing me and he has made this difficult experience very easy on me. It is nice knowing you are taken care of by one of the best defense attorneys in Arizona. I just want move on with my life and I know he is doing everything possible to get that for me. I feel very confident in his abilities to seek the best possible outcome during my case. So far I strongly recommend his services.

I first met Shahin Damoui on a telephonic meeting set up for us by his paralegal Jeannine, and in one call I learned how a strategic mind and professional demeanor could legally assist me well, in my unemployment benefit disqualification/fraud case against the AZDES agency. Then Shahin, over many electronic mail messages, showed me how easily his assistance could be, with caring words and attention to detail, all while carrying himself as an executive at his Mayes-Telles Law firm, blending compassion with conviction. At the first deputy determination appeal hearing, Shahin had registered himself to be a part of it even before I thought I would answer the Appellate Judge on my own, and facilitated a rescheduling after we had no contact from the Judge that day. At the rescheduled hearing weeks later, an interruption in Her telephone connection seemingly made the prospect of any hearing ill-fated, but Shahin contacted her office, and two hours later, our hearing recommenced with Shahin taking the lead answering Her Honor's questions calmly and assertively, while making corrections to testimony respectively. Miraculously, only hours later the very same day, the Appellate Judge's decision came in favor of myself the Claimant, and it could not have happened, without the deft assistance and guidance of this great lawyer. I'm obviously so grateful for his amazing service. The same great lawyer with the character and confidence to tell me, "I am very happy we were able to achieve the result we wanted, and you were very courteous the entire way. I only wish all of my clients were more like you"! Not content with only winning, Shahin then offered to ensure all unpaid claimed monies would be paid to me retroactively. Honestly, how many lawyers display such a level of caring and competency, without being aloof or inattentive to the true thoughts and concerns of their clients? I've only hired one lawyer in my over half-century of life, but all other potential legal representatives will be measured against this great man.

Never having dealt with any legal issues in my life besides a speeding ticket, I was clueless and terrified of what to expect when hiring a lawyer for a “your worst nightmare” situation. Bruce came highly recommended by a respected colleague of his and I am so grateful that I took their advice. A veritable powerhouse, Bruce’s unassuming stature belies a confidence and keen intelligence that are rarely seen these days, even in lawyers. Whether I had questions or concerns or just needed an update, Bruce was always very professional and quick to respond to my requests, all with a booked schedule. His knowledge was quite extensive and he was confident that my case would amount to nothing. He was absolutely right, with Bruce on my side, all charges were dropped against me! It was by no means a short or cheap process, but I was never led to believe anything different. Bruce was always very upfront about what was going on and the possible outcomes that could be forthcoming. All in all, I was extremely pleased with my experience hiring Bruce and I would highly recommend him for anyone struggling with serious criminal charges against them.

Mr. Witmer went above and beyond in helping my son win his court case. My son and I are grateful to Attorney Whitmer for everything he did for us and always kept in contact with us throughout the legal process. Attorney Whitmer pulled no punches and never promised anything to us except his diligent and earnest work on the case and he is a man of his word. He is honest and trustworthy and should we ever have legal issues in the future, Attorney Whitmer will be our go-to attorney. As a caveat, he would make an excellent judge for this county. Thank you Walt and Parker

I hired Henry for my boyfriend's case of false allegations. Henry is an incredible attorney. One that respects and understands the law, understands the systems at play, and did his research on the case. He was a master attorney in the court room and my boyfriend was acquitted. He is honest, conscientious, and took the time to explain what was going on and what was needed. I highly recommned Henry-he is a top notch attorney and person.

Tracy and Joelle by far is the best team! Have been in my crazy battle for 4 years now, with my previous lawyer he did an okay job, but after hiring Tracy and her team, I am finally making progress. Tracy has been very transparent and gives the best advice throughout this crazy/difficult time. She has given me so much peace of mind and very on top of it. Her and Joelle has exceeded all of my expectations and then some. I am a complete over thinker and they both have eased my mind so much and have kept me sane from all of the crap I have been through. I wish I hired Tracy to begin with, but very happy I found her through a referral! Thank you over and over !!

I had an extremely positive experience with Tracy and her team. I wouldn't ask for a better attorney. If there was a piece of advice I would share, it would be to stay calm and abide by everything Tracy asks you to do!

He explained things in a way even the average human can understand. I have a lot of respect for the help and opportunity he gave me, even just for the conversion. Letty, who has been with Mr. Harwin for a number or years, calmed my nerves and anxiety from the get go and I am grateful to have met the both of them.

It will be Aaron Black. Aaron was referred to me and my son through another attorney that had helped my son in a previous case. I was provided a couple names from this previous attorney, and as soon as we spoke with Aaron, I knew he was the one. My son was facing class 3 felony charges with jail time and with Aaron’s diligence was able to reduce to a plea where he will earn a misdemeanor. The probation department was recommending Intensive Probation and Aaron was able to convince the judge that IP was not appropriate. As the mother of the accused, Aaron was able to keep my “mother-bear” mind at ease. He is very easy to communicate with and doesn’t make you feel like less of a person because you have been accused of a crime. Aaron is a class-act attorney and a wonderful person. Thank you, Aaron, for all that you have done to keep my son out of jail and to help steer him in the right direction.

16 Sep, 2024 by Clay

My second time using Aaron’s services. I was looking at a super extreme, 45 days in jail and high fines. After Aaron took on my case he was able to find evidence the officer mistreated me, he filed a complaint with the professional standards bureau. When the prosecutors saw the letter they immediately reduced the case to a regular DUI. I only had to do a night in jail, possibly 6 months interlock, and reduced fines.

30 Aug, 2024 by Khadira

I found Aaron through AVVO and after reading his profile I knew that I would be contacting him immediately. He was able to get my super extreme DUI charge down to a regular DUI charge through finding evidentiary issues. He prepared me for court by providing resources for everything I would have to complete including alcohol screening, interlock device, and traffic school. My time in jail was reduced from 45 days to just 24 hours. If you find yourself facing criminal charges Aaron is the best lawyer to get the results you want. Not to mention he was reasonably priced!

I have never needed a criminal lawyer until recently. I initially hired a firm that had superb reviews; unfortunately, the lawyer that was assigned to me neither made me feel comfortable nor met my expectations vis-a-vis my case. In fact, she insisted that I take a plea deal that included 30 days in jail, which was absolutely unsatisfactory to me. As a result I fired the attorney and hired Aaron Reed, who had been referred to me by a friend. My case was adjudicated two days ago, and, because of Aaron’s hard work and perseverance, two of the three misdemeanor charges against me were dropped and I am not required to serve any jail time. I can not thank Aaron enough for obtaining such a wonderful outcome for me and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a smart, dedicated and professional criminal attorney.

I don't have enough words to express my gratitude for the superb job performed by Aaron Reed, hats off! The tons of weight lifted off my son's shoulders and off my chest, our lives back to normal. Aaron is masterful professional, knowledgeable and well-versed in the law, super determined, with outstanding analytical and strategic skills. Level of his ethic, confidence and resilience had immediate effect of our trust and comfort feeling that we are in good hands. We never felt like in dark thanks to Aaron's excellent communication. His attention to every single detail and super patience with clients, readiness to listen , guide and fight in the court are far beyond impressive. Thank you Aaron for returning us back to our normal lives. You are an amazing human being. I and my son are blessed to find you!!!

In 2018 I was falsely arrested for one of the worst things someone can be accused of, first degree murder, it was a terrifying moment in my life and I had no idea of where to go or who to talk to, I spoke with one attorney who was charging an insane amount of money to represent me, I decided to take my chances and go for a public defender and this is where I met Jack Litwak who was working as a public defender at the time. Jack was not only confident in his ability to prove my innocence but also believed in me and gave me the faith and reassurance I needed at that time, he worked and investigated harder than the police department did, he found receipts, talked to friends and family, investigated camera footage and police records, he did all he could for me, his passion and efforts in this work changed my life and I am eternally grateful for all he did for me, my innocence was proven and I was let go, not only was he a huge part of my innocence being proven but he also guided me to the right people to make sure this police department was held accountable, thank you Jack for the work you have done for me and for all the work you continue to do, I would recommend anyone who is in need of legal support to this man, and assure you that you are in great hands.

Was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor. I have used Elizabeth two times before, both cases were dismissed. She happened to be out of the country when this latest unfortunate event occurred, but she still managed to call me and she will be representing again. Call me unlucky, or maybe just in the wrong place at the wrong time, or maybe I just need to move away from my crazy neighbor. Elizabeth is an aggressive criminal attorney that can control a court room with ease.

I had some issues with DPS showing incorrect information in their system which was preventing me from obtaining a firearm and from getting my passport reinstated. Elizabeth review the files and submitted a very detailed and thorough appeal to DPS which made them revise my records and clear up my history. If you want someone that know her business and pay attention to detail, hire Elizabeth.

17 Mar, 2017 by Dan

We had the very positive experience of working with Elizabeth to defend our son's case. She was excellent at representing our son and providing us with concrete suggestions along the way. Our biggest mistake was not engaging Elizabeth earlier to get guidance from the start. Elizabeth's strategy and guidance was able to greatly improve the outcome.

I recently had the privilege of navigating a challenging divorce situation, where safety, security, and urgency were my paramount concerns. In those uncertain times, I found solace in the capable hands of PLG Legal Services—a team that transformed turmoil into triumph. My initial contact was with Al Cedro, a paralegal whose efficiency defied time zones. Within two days, he orchestrated my first meeting with attorney Joel Fornara. It felt like destiny—the right people converging at the right moment. Joel, my attorney, became my anchor. In that singular meeting, I sensed his empathy and his preparedness. We delved into details, leaving no stone unturned. I entrusted him with the weight of my situation, and he carried it with grace. Joel and Al—like a well oiled machine—worked tirelessly as I tended to my aging parents. They ensured I could attend the one court hearing remotely via the internet, and within ninety days they drew this drama to an amicable closure. Their counsel was more than legal; it was a lifeline. PLG’s commitment extended beyond paperwork. Their care was palpable—the kind that eases sleepless nights. Convenience? They redefined it. In a world of chaos, they carved out a path—a safe passage toward resolution. I’ve since left the area, but PLG remains my legal compass. Their legacy is a reminder that distance doesn’t diminish gratitude. They’re not just a team; they’re my go-to harbor for any legal issue Joel and Al were the architects of my peace. Their support team the unsung heroes. Together, they turned trauma into victory! I came out of this exactly as planned and with more than expected. With heartfelt thanks to Joel and Al!!!

Defends scumbags with money only. Doesn't care if they are wrong or not.

My attorney J. Lorona at Lorona Mead PLC, was responsive and genuinely cared about my concerns and helping me. He has good analytical skills, excellent research skills and good speaking and listening skills. His legal knowledge and experience in his field of employment rights was demonstrated by his successful representation. His genuine support was clearly demonstrated and appreciated, and will be remembered.

Unprofessional. Difficult to reach. Slow to respond to questions. Voicemail was always full and opposing counsel was unable to leave messages. Bait and switch. She turned into someone else after she received her retainer.

A very good experience with Ms. Wright. She is very thorough and professional!! Highly recommended!

I reached out to Ms. Wright when I had a dispute with my landlord. I was confused about what my rights were and she helped me to understand what the laws are in AZ as a renter. All she had to do was write a letter to my landlord and the situation got back to normal. Very happy with Ms. Wright and I would hire her again if I ever needed to.

What a Federal Crime Lawyer Can Do for You

A federal crime lawyer specializes in defending individuals or organizations accused of violating federal laws. These lawyers have experience navigating the complex federal criminal justice system, which includes higher penalties, stricter sentencing guidelines, and a different court system than state-level crimes. Federal crime lawyers defend clients against a wide range of charges, such as drug trafficking, white-collar crimes, fraud, conspiracy, gun violations, and more. They assist in every phase of the legal process, from investigation to trial and appeals, ensuring their clients' rights are protected.

If you’re facing federal criminal charges, a federal crime lawyer can provide the necessary defense and expertise to navigate the complexities of federal law and achieve the best possible outcome.

When Should I Hire a Federal Crime Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a federal crime lawyer in any situation where you are under investigation or have been charged with a federal crime. Key scenarios include:

Charged with a federal crime: If you’ve been charged with a federal offense, such as drug trafficking, wire fraud, money laundering, or conspiracy, hiring a federal crime lawyer is essential to ensure your defense is tailored to federal court procedures and laws.
Target of a federal investigation: If you are being investigated by federal agencies like the FBI, DEA, ATF, or IRS, it’s crucial to retain a lawyer early on. A lawyer can help you avoid self-incrimination and build a defense strategy to counter the investigation.
White-collar crimes: If you’ve been accused of federal white-collar crimes such as securities fraud, embezzlement, or insider trading, a lawyer can help defend you against charges brought by federal prosecutors and regulatory agencies like the SEC.
Drug-related charges: If you’re facing federal drug charges, such as possession, distribution, or trafficking of controlled substances, a lawyer can represent you in federal court and negotiate plea deals or challenge the prosecution’s case.
Gun-related offenses: If you’ve been charged with federal gun crimes, including illegal possession, trafficking, or using a firearm during a violent crime, a federal crime lawyer can help defend against harsh federal penalties.
Immigration-related crimes: Federal charges involving immigration violations, such as human trafficking, smuggling, or illegal re-entry after deportation, require specialized legal knowledge of both federal criminal law and immigration law.
Appeals: If you’ve been convicted of a federal crime and are seeking to appeal the conviction or sentence, a federal crime lawyer can assist with the appeals process, focusing on legal errors or issues that may have occurred during the trial.

Hiring a lawyer as soon as you know you are under investigation or charged with a federal crime gives you the best chance of protecting your rights and building a strong defense.

What Does a Federal Crime Lawyer Do?

A federal crime lawyer provides a wide range of legal services to defend individuals and organizations accused of federal crimes. Their responsibilities often include:

Defending clients in federal court: Federal crime lawyers represent clients in all stages of federal criminal proceedings, including pre-trial motions, plea negotiations, trials, and sentencing hearings.
Building a defense strategy: Lawyers thoroughly investigate the charges, review the prosecution’s evidence, and develop a defense strategy tailored to the unique aspects of federal law and sentencing guidelines.
Negotiating plea deals: In some cases, a lawyer may negotiate with federal prosecutors to reduce charges or penalties, potentially avoiding a lengthy trial and reducing sentencing.
Handling federal investigations: If you are the subject of a federal investigation, a lawyer will guide you on how to interact with federal agents, respond to subpoenas, and handle potential interrogations, ensuring your rights are not violated.
Filing pre-trial motions: Federal crime lawyers can file motions to suppress evidence, dismiss charges, or challenge the legality of the investigation or arrest, aiming to weaken the prosecution’s case before trial.
Representing clients in appeals: If you’ve been convicted, a federal crime lawyer can represent you in the appeals process, focusing on legal errors, misconduct, or constitutional issues that may have affected the trial’s outcome.
Managing sentencing and post-conviction matters: Lawyers also help clients during the sentencing phase, arguing for leniency or alternatives to imprisonment, and assist with post-conviction matters such as parole or supervised release violations.

How Are Federal Crime Lawyers Paid?

Federal crime lawyers typically charge for their services in various ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the expected time commitment. Common payment structures include:

Hourly rate: Many federal crime lawyers charge by the hour, with rates typically ranging from $300 to $1,000 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience, the case complexity, and geographic location.
Flat fee: For specific services, such as negotiating a plea deal or representing you during the initial stages of a federal investigation, some lawyers offer a flat fee. Flat fees for federal criminal defense cases often range from $5,000 to $25,000, depending on the scope of the work.
Retainer: In complex federal cases, a lawyer may require a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers a portion of the legal work. The lawyer then bills against this retainer as they work on the case. Retainers typically range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the case.
Payment plans: Some federal crime lawyers may offer payment plans, especially if the case involves extended litigation or lengthy appeals. This can help make legal fees more manageable over time.

It’s crucial to discuss fees with your lawyer upfront to understand the total cost of representation and how payments will be handled throughout the case.

How Much Does a Federal Crime Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a federal crime lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the time required to resolve the case. General cost estimates include:

Hourly rates: Federal crime lawyers generally charge between $300 and $1,000 per hour. For example, if a lawyer charges $500 per hour and spends 50 hours on your case, the total cost would be $25,000.
Flat fees: For simpler cases, such as negotiating a plea deal, flat fees can range from $5,000 to $25,000 or more, depending on the seriousness of the charges and the lawyer’s experience.
Retainers: In more complex or ongoing cases, a lawyer may require a retainer of $10,000 to $100,000, depending on the case’s scope and complexity.
Appeals: If you’re appealing a federal conviction, legal fees for an appeal can range from $10,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the issues being raised and the length of the appellate process.

In addition to legal fees, you may also need to cover additional costs such as court filing fees, expert witness fees, and investigation expenses.

How to Check the Credibility of a Federal Crime Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable federal crime lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:

Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no disciplinary actions or complaints.
Look for federal crime experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in federal criminal defense and have successfully handled cases like yours.
Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the lawyer.
Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on federal cases.
Check for federal court admissions: Make sure the lawyer is admitted to practice in federal court, as federal criminal cases are handled in federal district courts.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a federal crime lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

Information about the charges or investigation: Provide any documents related to the charges against you, such as indictments, subpoenas, or notices of investigation. This helps the lawyer assess the severity of the charges and the potential defense strategy.
Details of previous interactions with federal agents: If federal agents have contacted you or conducted searches, provide a detailed account of those interactions, including search warrants, interrogations, or evidence seized.
Questions about your case: Prepare a list of questions regarding the legal process, potential outcomes, and how the lawyer plans to defend you.
Relevant financial information: If your case involves financial crimes or assets that may be at risk, bring relevant financial records, such as bank statements, business records, or tax returns.
Previous legal history: If you have a prior criminal record or have been involved in federal investigations before, bring details about those cases.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal defense for your federal case.
