I highly recommend Ms Lenore she is well educated and is beyond expertise on any immigration case. She will let you know from the start if you your case is manageable or not. Ms Lenore is trustworthy explains every step by step and takes actions and delivers the ultimate goal in a professional cristal clear manner. Just trust the process! When my husband and I met Ms Lenore we only had a ITN number and now thanks to her we are US Citizens. We are forever grateful thank you Ms Lenore!

I was originally introduced to Alisha through a referral, and I am SO thankful I was. Throughout what you can imagine is always a stressful process (anything court related) she was great in every aspect. Not only is she educated, but she was patient with me when I jumped 10 steps ahead in the rabbit hole of “what ifs.” Alisha was always honest and made me aware of what was happening, or what could happen next. What will resonate with me, and definitely make me a return client, is that I never felt alone. I never felt a “where is she.” I’m 100% sure I was not her only client, but I felt like I was. I was confident knowing I had her on my side and that is what mattered the most to me.

Kraut law group was very courteous and professional, and most important of all, competent when it came to handling my case. I was facing a serious charge and not only where they able to get it dismissed, they were able to get it sealed as well. I'd recommend Kraut Law Group to anyone needing peace of mind. Thank you very much for your service - I can feel the burden of the weight I had on my back's been lifted.

Mr. Hankoff represented me in my DUI case, and I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney. I reached out to his firm the morning after I was pulled over, feeling overwhelmed and anxious about what lay ahead. From our first conversation, he made a strong impression—his confidence and professionalism immediately put me at ease. He assured me that he would leave no stone unturned in my defense, and he truly delivered on that promise. While Mr. Hankoff and Mr. Kraut’s firm is large and handles many cases, their expertise is evident. They may not provide constant hand-holding, but their knowledge and strategic approach make them highly effective. After eight months, my case was ultimately dismissed. Watching Mr. Hankoff argue on my behalf in court was incredibly reassuring. He handled every aspect of the case with skill and professionalism, countering every argument with precision and ensuring that my side was presented in the best possible light. Given what was at stake for my future, I am beyond grateful for the outcome. If you’re looking for a strong legal team that knows how to navigate the system and fight for you, I highly recommend Mr. Hankoff, Mr. Kraut, and his firm.

Meike is the best! She's intelligent, knowledgeable and compassionate. We hired Mieke to represent my brother who found himself charged in a criminal matter. We were beside ourselves, worrying about the outcome. We had retained a prior attorney who we felt did was not representing him properly, and would have landed him in prison. When Mieke substituted in to the case, she was able to review everything with a fresh perspective and was able to negotiate the charges down to a misdemeanor and summary probation. We are so grateful to Mieke for her dedication and experience, she comforted us and held our hand through the entire ordeal. I wholeheartedly recommend Mieke to anyone who needs legal representation, she is highly experienced, honest, and actually cares about her clients and their families.

Mr. Adair was able to work out an favorable plea deal for me. The prison term was shortened by 3 years. He assisted in my defense in a very professional and knowledgeable manner. For every court appearance he informed me of the proceedings making me feel comfortable and less stressed. MOST importantly he defended me vigorously allowing me to accept a shorter prison term than the DA wanted. I would recommend Mr. Adair and have recommended him with a doubt.

I cannot recommend Andres Ortiz enough! He was able to keep my Father from getting deported despite an extensive and complicated criminal history. A case highly challenging that no other immigration attorney dared to undertake. I consulted and hired the wrong immigration attorneys until my colleague and good friend (also an immigration attorney and previously a USCIS employee) suggested Andres Ortiz. She told me that “If Andres can’t help you, then nobody can”. Andres quickly rose and surpassed all expectations. The case lasted approximately four (4) years and although Andres moved law firms to ultimately opening his own practice, he always maintained us informed and up to date on my Father’s case. We never once felt that Andres was unresponsive or unsure on the progression of the case. Andres ensured we were kept up to date on new applicable case law that could assist our case and ensured we were thoroughly prepared for all court hearings, especially when rendering testimony. Furthermore, Andres was exceptionally prepared at all court hearings, a quality I have personally witnessed often lacking in other Immigration attorneys. Andres was so meticulously prepared at all court hearings to the extent the Immigration Judges would thank him for his exceptional work. Our entire family if forever grateful to Andres for helping us keep our Father with his family. I highly recommend Andres to all family, friends and general public. Bottom line, if Andres cannot help you with your case, then no one can.

This was my first interaction with the legal system, and it will be my last interaction with the legal system! So, I was beyond nervous, but Rory was a total lifesaver! Rory and his team were so informative during every step. Whenever I got nervous, he was right there with supportive texts and calls,always keeping me grounded. In court, Rory was amazing! His strategy and speaking skills were impressive. If you need someone who’s got serious skills and genuinely has your back, Rory’s definitely the one. I truly thank God, for bringing me through this and ultimately getting the case dismissed. And serious thanks to Rory for being supporting me every step of the way!

She has a deep knowledge of family law and how it works in the state of California. She is diligent and thorough, making herself available outside of working hours even when emergencies have arose. Everyone in her office is kind and responsive, as well as detail oriented. Rozanna has great empathy for her clients, and has shown tremendous dedication to my family over the years.

Vanessa in the office was super sweet and answered any questions that did not require my attorney. I did not feel at anytime like I was just a payout. Upon receiving my itemized bill I was extremely impressed with the fairness in charges. I felt heard, I felt valued, and I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone needing a labor attorney. Hopefully I don't ever need an attorney again, but if I do this firm is it!!!

I cannot express my gratitude enough to my incredible lawyer, Erica White, for the exceptional legal representation provided during my legal case. Thanks to her expertise, dedication, and unwavering support, my case was ultimately dismissed, and I can finally put this behind me. From the moment I reached out to Erica White, I felt a sense of relief and confidence in their abilities. She demonstrated a deep understanding of the legal system, and her professionalism and attention to detail were remarkable. Throughout the entire process, Erica was always accessible, promptly answering my questions and providing timely updates. Her clear and concise explanations helped me navigate the complexities of the legal system, ensuring I understood each step we were taking. During the preparation for my case, Erica left no stone unturned. Her extensive knowledge and experience in law were evident as she meticulously reviewed every piece of evidence and identified potential weaknesses in the prosecution's case. Her strategic approach was impressive, and she developed a solid defense strategy that proved to be immensely effective. Beyond their exceptional legal abilities, Erica displayed genuine care and compassion throughout the entire process. She understood the immense stress and uncertainty I was facing, and her unwavering support and encouragement were invaluable. Erica not only defended my rights but also provided reassurance during a challenging time, helping me maintain my composure and focus. I wholeheartedly recommend Erica White to anyone seeking legal representation. Her expertise, professionalism, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome are truly unparalleled. If you find yourself in need of a skilled lawyer who will fight relentlessly for your rights, Erica is the one you can trust. I am eternally grateful for her dedication and the successful resolution of my case. Thank you once again, Erica, for your exceptional service and for securing a favorable outcome in my case. You have not only proven your legal prowess but also restored my faith in the justice system.

Kareem helped me get out of a very meticulous case, one that involved a serious yet completely false allegation with no evidence. Since I had a lot on the line, and needed someone with a lot of experience like Kareem to make this go away, I hired Kareem on the spot after speaking with Tsion. I needed this to go away with no damages whatsoever to begin with. Kareem not only successfully got the case rejected, there was no consequences on my end or any record whatsoever. He is extremely professional and competent lawyer I would recommend for individuals who are looking for the safest route with a future on the line.

Ben Jacob's is someone you'd call when other attorney either has given you false hope or a run around for your time/money. Ben took on the challenge I was facing for over a year. My previous attorney wasn't aggressive during my Preliminary hearing and I was facing trial... I called up Ben, trusted in him.. and he not only got my case fully DISMISSED but also Got me an apology from courts. Ben and his team are professionals who treat you like family. When he walks into the court room, you feel superior being his client. A man of a few words.. But His presence is well known. I had over 16 accusations. Facing 2 felony counts. EVERYTHING WAS DISMISSED. Ben went out of his way and wrote letters to my senior executives at work (as I wasn't passing a background check for employment) When I say he goes out of his way to solve ALL your problems. He does! No words can describe the appreciation and respect I have for Ben Jacobs and his team.

I cannot thank this firm enough. Ashley guided me to success as the prevailing party in what was unfortunately an extremely high conflict child custody case, and she did so with compassion, integrity, and patience. This was one of the most stressful experiences of my life, but much of that stress was alleviated due to the calm, professional, and efficient manner in which Ashley handled everything. This yearlong process was a financial strain on us, and they were so incredibly gracious and understanding of our situation, and handled our case in a manner that was cost effective, without sacrificing quality in the services they provided. I have heard horror stories of other attorneys endlessly dragging on litigation for financial gain but my experience with this firm was quite the opposite: it’s clear that they truly care about their clients. June, Julie, and Priscilla also provided invaluable aid during this ordeal. Although I wish there had never been a need for this experience, I am grateful to now have sole custody of my child, and thanks to these wonderful, kind, and intelligent ladies, I finally have peace of mind knowing that I am able to keep my child safe.

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.

Top Questions to Ask a Federal Crime Lawyer

Before hiring a federal crime lawyer, it’s essential to ask key questions to ensure they have the necessary experience and qualifications to handle your case. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with federal cases?
    Ensure the lawyer has extensive experience handling federal criminal cases, particularly those similar to yours, such as drug trafficking, white-collar crimes, or gun violations.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost of your defense.
  3. What are the possible outcomes of my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment of your case and the potential outcomes, including plea deals, dismissals, or trial strategies.
  4. What is your approach to defending federal cases?
    Ask how the lawyer plans to approach your defense, including potential pre-trial motions, negotiations with federal prosecutors, or trial strategies.
  5. Will my case go to trial?
    Ask whether the lawyer thinks your case will settle out of court through a plea deal or whether it’s expected to go to trial, and how the lawyer will prepare for either scenario.
  6. How long will my case take?
    Federal cases can take time to resolve, so ask the lawyer for an estimated timeline, from investigation to trial or settlement.
  7. What are the possible penalties if convicted?
    Ask about the potential penalties you could face if convicted, including prison time, fines, or other consequences, and how the lawyer plans to mitigate those penalties.

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.
