Do NOT Use this firm theyve scammed me upwards of $10,000 by collecting the money and have not done a single thing and they don’t communicate for months upon months read the other reviews as well. They do the same thing to others I was promised so much and they have not done a single thing. My lawyer didn’t even show up to my court date and said he sent somebody else. I have my life endangered and he was supposed to help me get a restraining order. It has been two months since he has gotten back to me. I have had Sean as my lawyer for a year and he has only lost me everything with no communication.

This was one of the best experiences I have had with a lawyer in my life. Ricardo is clear, polite, and very professional. He always returned my calls and often reached out to ask if I had further questions. The staff is also very understanding of my many limitations regarding technology and offered to help whenever they could. You can also tell that the staff constantly communicates with the lawyers about your case, which is very important. I am so happy I found this Law office. My previous experience with immigration lawyers in this city was not the best, and I was very scared to reach out, but I am glad I did.

We are extremely happy that we chose Benjeman Beck to handle our Ford lemon law case. We called 3 other firms who told us the entire process would take over a year to complete. Ben was able to get our case completely handled within six month. Ben has been available to talk anytime we needed to discuss the case. Ben is very responsive! Ben kept us updated and informed about the entire process. We would highly recommend Ben to anyone!

After struggling to get an initial consult without being charged hundreds of dollars, I finally got proper attention to focus on my problem. However, once into the meeting, the head of the firm constantly answered his phone and left the room, which was unprofessional and rude. He then brought in an inexperienced attorney that came wrong advice on multiple legal issues. I ended up losing faith in their ability to take care things, so I am taking my business elsewhere after all this wasted time. I expected more professionalism and competence from this firm.

Even more importantly, I feel incredibly fortunate to have met such an outstanding, talented, capable, and dedicated lawyer. Schuyler’s sense of responsibility and justice, combined with his professionalism, is truly admirable. I highly recommend Hoffman & Forde to everyone!

She also did not inform me of many important things like not talking to the insurance claims adjuster who was representing the person that hit me. She did the minimal amount of work for me and did not seem to care at all for my well being. I wish I would have taken the advice of friends in the la area to seek out new representation. If you want a lawyer who is thorough and passionate about your needs do not go to Ms Gorin. Being very unreachable and only being able to communicate to her through her paralegal Karina was very unsettling as well.

I paid him $5000. Once he received the money he was MIA more often than not. His receptionist gave one excuse after another and would tell me that I had exceeded "talk time" provided by the retainer although my records indicated otherwise. On the few occasions that I was able to speak with him he claimed he had Covid or RSV. I later heard this was one of his standard excuses.

Michael Goldstein is by far the best lawyer i’ve ever had the pleasure to meet and beyond grateful he is representing my husband during this awful series of events. He was initially charged with 2 counts of premeditated attempted murder. Mr. Goldstein worked magic and allowed my husband the opportunity to obtain a plea bargain that included dismissing the more serious charges and entering a plea to one count of assault with a firearm, a non-violent offense which enabled him to serve only 50% time. Our time with Mr. Goldstein was all around a 10/10. From the beginning to the end. Every encounter with Mr. Goldstein calmed any nerves we had. He personally met with us and appeared at every single court hearing (most other lawyers send their not so inclined nor convincing representatives) and also personally visited the jail on multiple occasions to speak with and confirm the safety of my husband. If you are in need of help you must reach out to Mr. Goldstein, it will not be a waste of money or your time. My respect and gratefulness is beyond words.

Communication was excellent i never had to worry about what was going on he kept me updated and in the end got my case dismissed. I only need to appear one time for the Judge and everything else was taken care of. Im so grateful for the professional and diligence of Mr Goldstein.

Mr Farzad was very responsive immediately, he offered me help and explained my possibilities when unfortunately I was full of fear and also did not know my rights in marriage and in the country, since I am also an immigrant and English is not my first language. From the beginning Peter was very professional, understanding and patient, there were times when I was falling apart emotionally and felt that I could not continue with the process anymore and Peter always had a huge patience and words of encouragement for me to keep going. Peter does his job with great professionalism but also with empathy towards his clients, he is very good at fighting for what is fair, thus showing great ethics and commitment. I am very happy with the results, Peter fought and worked on every detail of the case and did not let himself be intimidated by the other party at any time.

I cannot recommend Muoi highly enough! From the very beginning, she and her assistant were straightforward and clear about the entire bankruptcy process. They broke everything down into manageable steps, ensuring I understood what to expect at every stage. Their communication was exceptional—they promptly answered all my questions and provided reassurance when I needed it most. Filing for bankruptcy can be overwhelming, but Muoi made it feel less daunting by guiding me through the paperwork, court dates, and every requirement with patience and professionalism. If you’re looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly invested in helping their clients, Muoi Chea is the way to go. They took a challenging time in my life and made it manageable, and for that, I am deeply grateful. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Definitely would not recommend using Judge Amy Pellman for mediation services. She was incredibly biased from the start and made an unprofessional comment within 10 minutes of the session starting. Should’ve ended it there instead of wasting an entire day making zero progress on any kind of settlement. She was only interested in assisting one side on their goals, and did not advocate for me on any points. She might’ve been a great judge but clearly needs some more experience in mediation, where the purpose is to try and reach an agreement between both parties- not decide who she thinks is right and pursue their interests only. We hired another mediator after this failed session and had immediate success with them.

I am so blessed to have found Lawyer Seppi! I have never been in this situation where I needed a lawyer and don’t plan to ever again, but Seppi made this experience as easy as possible. And after meeting Seppi in his office, I felt even better because he was so kind, personable, patient, and understanding. He answered every question I had and kept me updated. I listened to every word he said, and because of that my case was dismissed before our court date and I remain with a completely clean record! I cannot thank this law firm enough!!!

Olivia is absolutely outstanding! She understands the emotional side of your case while being able to find the legal aspects of holding the employer accountable for breaking the law! Made a really terrible situation a little easier by explaining everything and helping me get everything in order and in the right hands. I would not use anyone else! Call them for any sexual harassment case... You won't be disappointed! 10/10

I recently had the privilege of working with Karla Waymire for my family law case, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Navigating family matters can be incredibly stressful and emotional, but Karla's support and expertise made the entire process significantly easier. From our initial consultation, Karla demonstrated a genuine understanding of my situation and listened attentively to my concerns. She patiently explained the legal complexities involved. I truly appreciated her clear and honest communication style. She never made promises she couldn't keep, and always kept me updated on the progress of my case. I highly recommend Karla Waymier to anyone seeking a skilled, experienced, and empathetic family law attorney. I am incredibly thankful for her guidance and support, and I am thrilled with the results she achieved for me.

I was very lost and had no idea where to go or find the necessary help. Mr Farzad was very responsive immediately, he offered me help and explained my possibilities when unfortunately I was full of fear and also did not know my rights in marriage and in the country, since I am also an immigrant and English is not my first language. From the beginning Peter was very professional, understanding and patient, there were times when I was falling apart emotionally and felt that I could not continue with the process anymore and Peter always had a huge patience and words of encouragement for me to keep going. Peter does his job with great professionalism but also with empathy towards his clients, he is very good at fighting for what is fair, thus showing great ethics and commitment. I am very happy with the results, Peter fought and worked on every detail of the case and did not let himself be intimidated by the other party at any time. I infinitely appreciate all his help and I would not hesitate to recommend them or go to them again in the future if I need legal help. Thank you very much!

Kevin Gordon is the most incompetent attorney. He did not answer my calls or emails. He did not pay attention to details in forms when filing with the city and documents were returned, then he did not follow through, but tell me that he was busy with something else. Even the opposing party threatened him with reporting him to the bar. He drafted a settlement that did not protect me as his client. At the end, he just told me to get another attorney. Wow. It is unfortunate that his practicing.

Very unhappy with the outcome of my case. It was handled unprofessionally. And l fought with the attorney the whole way. I had to file with the BAR twice. I hired Legacy and was told will take it to trial. During mediation l was told to settle today or l could lose everything, because they were not going to represent me in court. Then the attorney settled the case against my will. I was forced to settle for considerably less than the original trust stated.

They made a note of my concerns, and Ruzanna would get back to me pretty quickly. It’s really importantto me that my lawyer is available when I need her, and she has been so far. She’s professional, and I’m hopeful she’ll help me resolve my case. I’ll update my review once everything is settled.

Hiring Attorney Ruzanna Poghosyan was one of the best decisions I could have made. At first, her fees seemed a bit high, but after working with her, I quickly realized they are completely justified. The amount of time, effort, and dedication she puts into each case makes every dollar worth it. She doesn’t treat her clients as just another case — she genuinely cares and works tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome. Even when I was already satisfied, she kept pushing until she was sure everything was handled to perfection. Before finding Ruzanna, I had this unrealistic expectation of lawyers based on shows like Suits and Law & Order. After a while, I assumed no attorney in LA could match that level of expertise and charisma — until I was referred to attorney Poghosyan. She’s the real deal! She listens attentively, never interrupts, and most importantly, she knows the law inside and out. And yes, she even wears suits sometimes! While I wasn’t happy about needing legal representation, I can honestly say I’m grateful now that Ruzanna was the one representing me. Her office is right in the heart of Beverly Hills, so after every appointment, I could take a deep breath, grab a cappuccino, and appreciate how lucky I was to have her on my side. If you’re looking for a hardworking, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated attorney, Ruzanna Poghosyan is the one.

I can’t find words to express how much time and efforts Ruzanna Poghosyan put in for my case. Knowing so much but having so little proof to connect my evidence and get my restraining order. I recommend Ruzanna for any case because she is so knowledgeable and so attentive to spend the time and listen to all your facts. She put so much more time that I ever imagined. She was present during every court and so supportive both emotionally mentally during every step of the worse and frightened days of my life.

From the start you can tell that he genuinely cares and he really knows what he is doing and he makes you feel that you are in good hands and that he will do his very best to fight for you. He did a great job on my case, he is always straightforward and if you have any questions he will explain it in a way you can understand easily and if you need him to repeat it he will. His assistant is always in communication, and if you have any questions she will always answer promptly, she is very professional and you can tell that she also has a lot of experience.

My grandson was involved in an incident in which he was arrested and booked for some very serious felony and misdemeanor charges . A gun, under the influence and drugs and a vandalism charge was very concerning. We were so fortunate to have obtained Mr. Babcock as his attorney to represent him. Relying on a personal friend for a recommendation and reading the positive reviews we could not have been more pleased with our decision to retain his services. All reviews are true to his representation as he was always in touch with us every step of the way. He asked all the right questions and had all the right answers. His recommendations to us were followed to ensure that our cooperation would help with a successful outcome for my grandsons court appearance. This week when we appeared for the court appearance Mr. Babcock came out of judges chambers after discussing the case with the judge and the DA . He gave us the good news that the felony charges were dropped and now reduced to two misdemeanor charges! No drug charge and there would be NO jail time. One year probation with no need to report but to submit proof back to the courts within 6 months of 40 hours community service, attend 25 DA meetings and take a gun safety course Restriction for not having a gun for one year probation period and his confiscated gun would be destroyed. He will pay a fine for the vandalism damage as requested by the homeowner and a minimal $150 for court fine. We could have not asked for a better outcome. Our many thanks to him for saving a young man from time in jail or prison. He will now go on to look back on this and be thankful that he was represented by someone who cared about his future.

Look no further! Russell Babcock and Logan Noblin What can I say about Russell and Logan, along with Anna Yum and the rest of the incredible team....they saved my life and got me back home to my family! From the start Russell was very skeptical and realistic of my charges, and the likelihood that things would go my way. As our relationship grew and more details and facts about the case came out, things slowly started to change. He and Logan really started to believe in me. As the case kept going, with the DAs reluctance to see this for what it was, Russell, Logan and Anna, continued to have the difficult talks of the realities and risks of continuing on towards trial, and not agreeing to take a plea deal for something I was innocent of. I appreciated their willingness to have the hard talks. It was an incredibly horrible position to be in, but with their belief in me, it helped me push forward. Unfortunately the DA did push things to trial. Right from the start of trial, I couldn't help but feel confident. From Russell's unmatched experience, and his incredible mind that is always thinking of every angle and working non stop, to Logan's cool, calm presence and complete control of the courtroom. They were the perfect team! They bounced questions and ideas off each other the entire trial. Their preparation showed every step of the way. They were always courteous to the judge, related things to jurors, had great questioning of the witnesses, and came out on top with every exchange with the DA. Results were unanimous,not guilty verdict within one hour of deliberations! Russell and Logan were total rock stars from start to finish. Anna Yum was amazing and knew exactly the right pair to assign to take on my case. 5 stars in every way!! I would not only refer them to anyone I know that finds themselves needing a defense lawyer, but I would not let them go with anyone else! Thank you Anna, Russell, Logan, Jorge, and everyone else that helped on my case, and is a part of this amazing law firm!! Nicholas

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.
  • 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.
