I am a real estate agent with the Prime Real Estate Group, and I always refer my clients to Niko Marneris for all of their real estate transactions because he and his associates are professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate to their clients needs! I was able to witness this type of care first hand as I recently just purchased my new home. There was such attention to every detail and a quick response to any question I had! This group is truly top notch and I will continue to send my clients in their direction!

Niko, Shayla, and the entire team at Marneris Law were terrific with our condo purchase. We never met any of them in person, yet we felt a personal connection. We've bought three houses before but were completely unfamiliar with condos. Marneris Law scrutinized all the documents, knew what questions to ask, sought clarifications and details from the condominium association, and pushed every issue until they were certain all our questions and concerns were addressed to our satisfaction. They protected our interests and ensured the closing proceeded smoothly. We recommend their services highly!

Under the circumstances, he stopped and listened. The full case was a bit much. He looked into the person and the case. He did battle with the legal system for the person not the crime. He looked into the persons past and set them up for the best future based on what the person showed him. I was amazed at his approach to the situation. He looked for facts that most people overlook. Prompt, respectful, knowledgeable, professional and caring. You will not find a more effective attorney.

If you want the best lawyer, look no further. Mr. Schmiege was clear, concise, understanding, knowledgeable, dedicated, transparent, and diligent. When I wanted to take the easy plea bargain, he discouraged me from doing it, which ultimately led to my case being dismissed. He gave his honest and professional opinion and it was the correct course of action. He constantly communicated his plans and managed expectations expertly. He was detailed and straight to the point. I recommend him wholeheartedly. I was impressed with his communication at every junction over the course of nine months. Absolutely a hidden gem in Chicago. Best of the best.

I was facing 10 years in federal prison. With all the evidence stacked against me and my former attorney suggesting that I take a plea…it was Gal who told me that the case could be beat and urged me to fight. Gal’s due diligence, preparation and knowledge of the law earned my trust. He did an excellent job in communicating the process which put me at ease. His skillful line of questioning caused the DEA agent to blatantly admit in open court that I was racially profiled. Because of this admission, the motion to suppress was granted and the case was dismissed. I am extremely grateful to Gal for his optimism and ability to deliver.

Jeff and Paul have been exceptional lawyers for a very personal family matter. We needed expert criminal legal representation in Cook County, and Jeff and Paul were there with us every step of the way.
They were very communicative, open, honest and transparent. And they care. You can tell right away when somebody cares and has empathy. But it goes beyond that. They know the cook county court system, the judges, the prosecutors, and they know the law. They are really smart!
I highly recommend them if you or a loved one are in serious legal trouble. Hire well! You won't be disappointed!

I was referred to this lawyer by another cooperate lawyer that told me he would use this lawyer if he was in trouble himself so I googled her and watched some of her videos online and you already know what I was thinking about if I could afford her. I was offered a 6 years federal prison time by the federal prosecutor until I contacted this woman which is why I'm on probation now. Very grateful and thank you again Ms Brunell.

Attorney Moore is undeniably spectacular. He is extremely detailed oriented and utilizes his intellect to deliver his points with precision. In the midst of an aggressive prosecuting attorney, he eloquently defended my case, which led to a swift dismissal. He is trustworthy, dependable, and I couldn't have chosen a better attorney to represent me.

Other attorneys said i needed to take a deal that was ending up with time. Down to 30 months. He informed me what trial would cost and due to officer statements and other statements forced out of a witness in writing most likely not being able to be thrown out easily a trial was risky. He threatened with some solid motions even using an existing motion written by my last council in a much better fashion. It was effective and at least a deal was mad for some probation instead of doing time then possible acquit in an apeal. Sadly did end up taking a deal but was an amazing end to the situation and rapidly was taken care of. Definitely would recommend him all over the nation and thankfully I had some friends to help cover the costs that i was able to pay back. He is expensive but if there is a exploit in the case he will find it.

Unfortunately, I found myself Indicted and charged with three federal felonies including bank fraud and money laundering. From the moment of my arrest over two years ago to the moment of my acquittal, Mr. Scott J. Frankel was clearly a gift from God. With patience, professional grace and decorum, sincere kindness and decency, Mr. Frankel shepherded me through the valley of death. His brilliant lawyering coupled with a keen perspicacity for the truth, was delivered to a jury in a fashion necessary to give me my life back. As I took my 83 year old Mother grocery shopping today, I wept and thanked God for Mr. Scott J. Frankel.
I will be indebted to Scott for the remainder of my life and my family is so grateful words cannot express. He is truly a courtroom genius.

Scott was the epitome of professional while maintaining a level of personal care that I never expected. I had never been in trouble before to any real degree, and I was in a lot of trouble. Scott was truthful, humane and always direct. He worked hard for me. He put me at ease, and at the end of the day his abilities gave me the opportunity to move on with my life. I highly recommend Scott. He was the best decision I could have made.

Mr. Frankel was a great lawyer and was on top of my case the 10 months that it lasted. I did not have to worry about anything, other than showing up to court. In court Mr. Frankel had done his research and was not soft spoken. Won my case and everything went well. My recommend is getting all of your main witnesses subpoenaed.

Joel was the first attorney that believed in me and I felt comfortable talking to about my case. He did everything that was asked of him and that he promised he would be able to perform. He is a very good listener, which is why I hired him. (not always comfortable discussing problems with strangers) He works quickly and continued to communicate with me on the status of my case. I didn't need to call him for updates. Joel knew the laws that applies to my case. He fought hard for me in court and won my case. He is a top notch attorney and is reasonably priced. He cared about me as a human being not just as one of his clients.

.A number of years ago I found myself in the need of a lawyer. Having known Joel for many years he was the first I thought of calling. The police wanted me to come in, Joel picked up the phone, talked with the officer and came along with me. Joel cleared one of his typically busy days and met with me and the officer. Having Joel around was indeed a life saver in that I had no experience with situation like this. Joel conducts himself very professionally, knows his stuff and is confident in his abilities.
Having Joel on your team adds someone who will work really hard on your concerns. For me a "huge" relief.

On behalf of a caring community, and I, as an informed observer, recognize and celebrate Stephen Komie, of Komie and Associates, with a five star rating for his defense of a client whose case spanned 12 long years under the injustice of the court system. Mr. Komie inherited this case of extreme magnitude from another attorney, and ever so gallantly brought in a forensic psychiatrist who interviewed and tested the subject and came to the conclusion that this person did not have the ability to knowingly form the intent to do something wrong. With his passion, legal expertise, and sacred calling, Mr. Komie was the joyful warrior who fought for someone who needed a voice. Three cheers for never giving up, for righting a wrong which should never have materialized in the first place, and for bringing about a discharge of that which was brought against this individual. In conclusion, you, Mr. Komie, are held in the highest regard, have earned distinction in your chosen field, and have brought
abundant blessings to those you have boldly represented!

If you're unsure whether to choose Jonathan to represent you, stop debating. Retaining him will be the best decision you'll make. I wholeheartedly recommend Jonathan!
I had the privilege and pleasure of working with Jonathan Bedi on a long-term, exhaustive, and high-profile legal matter that spanned several years, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. I can confidently say that Jonathan embodies the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and dedication.
From the very beginning, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism, deep legal expertise, and not just a genuine commitment to my case but to me as a person. He took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the process, ensuring that I understood my options and felt comfortable with the decisions we made together. His communication was always prompt, clear, and reassuring, which made an otherwise stressful situation much more manageable. Jonathan not only cared about my legal situation, but he also cared about my mental well-being throughout this challenging period of my life. He consistently showed up for me and assured me that he would "never rest" in fighting for me. I always felt prioritized. I felt heard. Jonathan's compassion shone through his honesty, attentiveness, and delivery of care, no matter how difficult the information was to hear. He never made me feel alone during this tragic time.
Because of Jonathan's unwavering dedication and brilliant strategy, we achieved an outcome that I once thought was impossible. Words can't express how deeply grateful I am for his hard work and compassion throughout this journey. If you're looking for a lawyer who genuinely cares about you and goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional results, Jonathan is the one you can trust with your heart and case.

Private attorneys are gonna run you a pretty penny but I know undoubtedly that the Longe law firm is worth every coin.They got my case dismissed in trial! They also managed to block the state from suspending my license while the case was pending. On top of that, I had another pending case that was concurrent with the other one and now both cases are over.Excellent and very professional law firm. Definitely would recommend without question. I thank attorney Longe, attorney Brown and Cisca for the superb communication with me over these last 10 months.

- 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:

- 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.
