Mr. J T Hagans was an absolute miracle in my life. I had gotten into a car accident not too long after my sister had passed away and then shortly after I was diagnosed with a heart condition. When a car hit me, I just went blank and I didn't know where or what to do. I just kept driving which was a wrongdoing on my part. However, not only was he emotionally supportive and understanding, but he was was professional and provided me with knowledge about the law and what I could possibly be facing in terms of fines and fees. He basically broke every single thing down for me. He answered every phone call and email as busy as he was to reassure me that everything would be alright. He guided me throughout the entire process. If there is ANY attorney that I could ever recommend to a person whom is facing a traffic violation of some sort, I would STRONGLY recommend this humble, kind, intelligent and wonderful man. He is trustworthy and honest. I hate to say it but not many attorneys truly conduct their business in this fashion. What struck me most was that it was not so much about the dollar for him. Mr. Hagans TRULY wants and does assist to the best of his ability while educating and keeping you updated throughout the legal process. If there were more than 5 stars to give him, I would. Thank you, Mr. J Todd Hagans and God Bless. There should be more attorneys out there like you.

I gave Mr. Paul Donnelly 5 star because that’s the highest they have, He is a 10 in my book. A man of integrity, Honest, true to his word. (I am normally skeptical) but Mr Donnelly assured me that he would do his best to achieve the highest outcome regarding my situation, and he did not fall short in doing so. He was recommended to me, now I am recommending him to the world.

Excellent, Sincere and Trustworthy.

Paul helped us very well in solving our case. We didn't know what to do because my father was arrested in Miami. Paul have always supported us and pointed us in the right direction. We could always trust his advice. He has also been service oriented to us. He always updated us on time about the developments of the case. He also answers all questions or ambiguities about the case and explains them if necessary. We also had a good cooperation, which meant that the evidence could also be sent on time. Because of his dedication, expertise, experience and hard work, he won the case. Strongly recommended for others too.

My family has an ongoing contract with Mr. Donnelly to represent my father in his criminal case. He always communicates in a timely manner and is clear with respect to his defense strategy. Even when the probable outcomes are not what we want to hear, Mr. Donnelly does a great job in communicating all options and his advice. I am 100% sure that he produces the best outcomes—on a case by case basis depending on the circumstances. He is reliable, knows criminal law well, and is definitely an attorney you want representing you or a family member criminal matters. But don’t get in trouble so you don’t have to call Mr. Donnelly. However, if you do get in trouble, call him!

After being arrested I knew hiring the best attorney would be the best thing I could do to help myself. I did a lot of research and contacted several attorneys before I decided to meet with James Phillips. He was even recommended by some of the other attorneys I talked to. He demonstrated a very good understanding and proficiency with my situation and assured me that he would do whatever it took to obtain the best results possible. With professionalism and courtesy and a thorough knowledge of the legal system he was able to get my DUI charge sent to pretrial diversion. He was also able to dispute my DUI with the DMV so I received my full license back with no limitations and no penalties fines or points. I could not have asked for a better outcome and a better attorney.

Katz & Philips law firm is exceptional. “Don’t try fighting by yourself…They helped me a lot and I don’t have the words to thank them.” I was offered a public defender and so glad I turned that down. The outcome of my situation could have ended bad. As it turned out the case was dropped to the quick actions by this firm. There was so much understanding and concern of my situation and I would recommend them to anyone. There is no second choice for a good lawyer.

I worked directly with Mr. Phillips and his associates stemming from two separates cases across two counties. James and his team worked collectively and passionately to resolve both issues. It was refreshing to be represented by individuals who have a true concern for your overall well being. My case was dismissed in entirety.

My Top Secret Clearance was revoked due to unfounded and unsubstantiated allegations. Thank God for Kristy. She took my case and fought it as if it was her own and we won the case!!! Her knowledge of the laws, rules, and regulations, along with her persistence and professionalism, won my case!!! This is a very complex case, as dealing with the Federal Government and security clearance never has a positive outcome. But Kristy did it and my name is clear!! Kristy, Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for me and for caring as much as you do.

I am probably the worst client she's ever had. She's handled 3 cases of mine, and got 2 closed as soon as she can, other one hasn't filed yet but she's handling it for me already. I was on PTI for 12 months, yet she got me off of it after 4 months. She's always on top of everything, she lets me know what's going on, and what I need to do during the process. I don't know what I would do without her.

I hired Lori to help me with a FBI investigation. Agents approached me and asked if they could speak with me. They never explained what they were investigating, but it was obvious that they did not have my best interest at heart. Therefore, I explained to them I would not be speaking with them and that my attorney would be in touch with them. I retained Lori and she jumped into action contacting the FBI and the U.S. Attorneys Office to determine the reason behind the FBI contact. We are waiting for the next steps and preparing to defend me. I could not be happier with Lori's representation thus far and highly recommend that you retain her to represent you.

We hired Paul and his stellar team for my husband's case - felony assault and violation of probation. The public defender said the best we could get was 5 years. Paul got him 366 days time served and 3 years probation. The day of the trial he got the 3 years converted to 3 years with early termination at 1.5 years for good behavior. We couldn't be happier with the results of this case that had extremely condemning evidence. Paul will be very straight up with you about your options and fight your case like it's his own family. Thank you for your help!!!!

I highly recommend Law Offices of Paul Petruzzi. Paul and his team successfully managed my case to clear. It was extremely complex, unprecedented and one in which other lawyers had failed. Paul is passionate, professional and knowledgeable. Paul and his team are very human and care about you, not only as a client but as a person. To be honest he even had more faith and confidence in the win and myself. You definitely want him on your side.

I highly recommend Mr. Mengers. He is an amazing criminal defense attorney. I previously hired another attorney and was VERY dissatisfied with her service. My husband was looking at serious time for a VOP. Mr. Mengers was able to get him released from jail ROR after he cleared him of the original charges. Prior to being released my husband spend a long time in jail due to Covid pending court dates. He called today and the VOP was dismissed! Mr. Mengers saved my husbands life. He is honest, upfront, objective, a good listener, and my gut feeling told me to hire him. The results show I made the right choice. God Bless you Mr. Mengers. We hopefully will never need a criminal attorney but you are our only choice. Thank you only touches the surface for what you have done for our family.

I interviewed about 5 law firms. Selected Josh and could not have been happier with the choice. He walked me through the process. He gave me his personal cell phone, actually called me back and responded to my texts. He was able to have my charges reduced from two felony charges and than a few months later, dropped. Meet him, talk to him and I bet you hire him. I am glad I found him!!!

I'll start by I can't praise Josh enough for his abilities as a lawyer and as a genuine person. He cares about his clients and does everything a decent person would do. It's not about the money for him. I wish more lawyers would emulate the way he goes about his business and daily life. If you're in need of any help please consider using him. You will not regret it. Again, there's so much praise I could give him. Just know He's there to help you and does so with excellence. I'm truly grateful he came into my life when he did. Thank you Josh!

At 57 and having to deal with a few attorneys in my younger years, I didn't like any of them. I would say "I didn't like ANY attorney" because they ALL had the "better than anyone attitude", etc. I ALMOST didn't call an attorney; was just going to Public Defender & plea out because wasn't interested in an attorney just out for the money when they knew the "End Result" would be the same; however, at the suggestion of my bondsman, I decided to call & talk to Josh figuring nothing to lose by making the call. THANK GOD I made that call in May 2014; With 1 question from Josh I realized it was not that cut & dry; AND, I felt he was being honest, not just trying to suck a client in for money! I hired Josh. Since the beginning, I could feel his sincerity with my case. 1st time I can honestly say an attorney (Joshua Rydell) went above & beyond any expectations I ever had!! I had F3 & M1 charges; March 2017 (almost 3 years after arrest), F3 & M1, was amended to M1 only with 12 mos prob & possible off in 6 mos; total court & probation costs will be $318; AND all would have been thrown out due to the warrant if my employment time clocks had been working both days in question. From the beginning I told Josh I didn't want any charges, that I wanted everything just thrown out like nothing ever happened. Haha, right? Josh was thorough, detailed, creative, exceptionally knowledgeable with the laws (AN ASSET FOR ANY CLIENT), and never in a million years did I even expect the AWESOME outcome he got for me. He is even going to file for early release of Probation to get that over in the 6 months, as well as have the records sealed since adjudication withheld. I honestly can't say enough good about this attorney and how he really did save me from what could have ruined me personally & professionally. Now, after I do the probation and we go back, it will be as though nothing ever happened which is just as good as everything thrown out to me. He is VERY reasonable with his costs which is usually unheard of with attorneys, again, Joshua is just different. He has very rare qualities not usually seen in criminal attorneys. I will and would recommend this attorney, Joshua Rydell, to any friend or family member should they ever need representation with the utmost confidence they would receive the ABSOLUTE BEST legal representation possible!! He is truly the best and I thank the good Lord for helping me find my way to Joshua for help. I hope my review helps anyone needing a good attorney find their way to Joshua Rydell as he is by far the BEST CHOICE in criminal defense!!! THANK YOU AGAIN JOSH for Everythint!!!

I reached out to the Smith & Eulo office just hours after my incident. I was scared, helpless and didn't know what to do. I spoke with Robert and he immediately got to work from the very first conversation that we had. Robert answered every question that I had , responded to every phone call/text and kept me up to date with everything as it was happening. I don't want to say to much about my case but I want it to be known that it was very doubtful that any good one come from it. With the hard work that Robert put it in and his dedication to my case, we were successful it what we wanted to accomplish and victory prevailed. I thank you so much for everything you have done for me and my family! This man will make you feel comfortable, in the know and never make you feel like a burden.

Ron was dedicated to my ex-husband's violent crime case. He was looking at 38 years in federal prison but because of all the work that went into researching PTSD and how it affected my ex-husband the father of my children received 5 years of prison and will hopefully be home in 3 years. Words cannot expressed the gratitude that my children and family feel for the work that was done to defend him. Ron was professional, passionate, very knowledgeable and dedicated to this case and saw my ex-husband as a person and not just a paying client that he was billing. He knew all the laws and was well prepared for his court appearances. Ron kept the whole family informed on any updates regarding the case or court dates. He went the extra mile to make sure all of our requests were met even if they were not directly related to the case. I would recommend his services to anyone I know as you will get more than just a good lawyer you will get someone who will fight for you and get you the best results than you can ever wish for.

While visiting Naples I was arrested for a ridiculous charge of drunk and disorderly because I questioned the establishment regarding my bill that I didn't believe was correct. I met with Landon and discussed the case. I immediately hired him and he was able to get a copy of the security video from the establishment and show to the Judge and Prosecutor that the Officer was lying in his report. The Judge immediately dismissed the case. I HIGHLY recommend Landon to anyone in need of representation, period. He is a top notch attorney and his paralegal, Janet, was great.

In mid-July of this year, I received a DUI in Collier County, the Bail Bondsman recommended that I contact Landon Miller. I called his office the next day, and the staff was VERY professional, took all of my information, and Landon Miller called me back, and after a brief conversation, I hired him as my attorney. Throughout the next couple of weeks I needed to contact the office for paperwork, faxing, emailing and the staff was above and beyond helpful. Landon was able to get ALL the charges dropped by using his skills and knowledge of the law. I would HIGHLY recommend Landon Miller for your legal matters.

I was in what I considered the worse situation of my life and had no idea what to do. Flynn Bertisch took my case and walked me through every step that I needed to take. I’ve never been in “trouble” before so to say I was scared was an understatement. My first conversation with Flynn, eased my mind and gave me hope. He worked so hard from the second he took me on as a client. Even after my case was declared as “no file”, he continued to answer my questions and simply just check in with me to see how I was doing. I can’t say thank you enough to Flynn! I highly recommend him to anyone in need.

I am writing to express my gratitude for your support during a very challenging time in my life. Thanks to your knowledge and dedication, I am able to stay with my family and continue living my life outside of jail. Your commitment to my case, your strategic thinking, and your ability to navigate the complexities of the legal system were truly remarkable. You’re not only an amazing attorney but also an amazing person you offered reassurance and hope when mandy and I needed it most. Your hard work and determination have made an impact on my life, and for that, I am forever grateful. Thank you for EVERYTHING you have done for my family. Words can’t describe the impact you have had on my life. The amount of work you put in behind the scenes did not go unnoticed. Some clients may say the outcome is going to be the outcome no matter what but I disagree completely. My outcome was a direct reflection of you and I am so thankful to have had you as my attorney. Joe Nascimento is a name that will never be forgotten and forever be known as the man who saved my family.

Joe represented me in a sexual battery case. I lost almost everything due to the allegation, and I was facing a lot of years. But as a result of his hard work and dedication, I didn’t lose my freedom. There’s no doubt he’s a skilled attorney (his knowledge of the law is unrivaled, and his even demeanor is so reassuring for the jury), but where Joe really shined is his treatment of the client/defendant. He made me feel like a human being, when the entire system felt designed to take away my humanity. I don’t think I could have made it without him by my side for those 2 difficult years. Thank you Joe, from the bottom of my heart.

I was referred to H. Manual Hernandez (Manny) by another attorney as I was being investigated based on allegations made that I had committed Elder Financial Exploitation.
This was unequivocally the worst fear that I had ever encountered. I could literally write volumes in this review regarding how well Manny conducted my case. I appreciated him never patronizing me by sugar coating issues. He always articulated very clearly the issues regarding my case. He was fastidious regarding being well prepared and was outstanding regarding how he respectfully interfaced with the lead criminal investigator, as well as numerous others. He consistently demonstrated an extraordinary level of professionalism. I felt that he was sincerely my advocate, not just my attorney. He always treated me with dignity and respect. Manny is extremely intelligent and has impressive credentials such as, having been a Federal Prosecutor for numerous years; he has a substantial knowledge of numerous areas of other legal expertise and is highly regarded by his peers. He is a credit to his profession. Manny is a very ethical attorney and I was impressed with his core values. Regarding his law firm, his paralegal is outstanding and as well as his investigator. Manny worked extremely expeditiously on my case. Due to his ongoing conversations with the lead detective for criminal investigations and his exceedingly thorough final police report submittal of which reflected concrete tangible evidence that I had not committed a criminal act and it was truly a unfortunate misunderstanding regarding the allegations made. The investigation was subsequently closed. I would never have any reservations regarding a referral to Manny. He truly is one of the very best attorneys and he definitely exceeded my expectations regarding the outcome of my case. I will forever owe him a debt of gratitude.

Over 11 years ago I first met Rick when I was about to be charged with two 30-year counts. Because of his intellect, connections and careful planning, I went from spending the rest of my life in prison to non-adjudicated probation to having my charge sealed. If I were asked beforehand what I thought the greatest possible outcome was, I wouldn't have even believed that this would be the possible!
During my eight year probation I had therapy with hundreds of others who had the same issues I went through, and NOT ONE had the same outcome I got from Rick. There's no way to overstate this, if you want an outcome that will exceed your expectations, you NEED RICK ON YOUR CASE.
I owe my life and my freedom to Rick.

Our family used Mr. Hutchinson based upon a recommendation for a family member involved in a serious criminal matter. We had never been involved in anything like this. Mr. Hutchinson upon our first meeting was apathetic, knowledgable and concerned. Immediately we knew it was not a matter of just a job for him, but he genuinely was concerned on getting the facts and helping our family member. Promptly, he took action investigating, contacting those involved following steps to keep our family member safe and treated fairly. The situation continued for 9 months. During that time we were in contact with him often and he called us night and day. If we contacted him, he returned our calls immeditely. His professionalism and knowledge of the laws and systems is brilliant! We went to court and felt at ease with not only the preparation he had given our family member but his presentation in court. He had the facts of the case, documents to verify them, relentless in his pursuit of justice for our family member. To this day, we can still call Mr. Hutchinson and ask him a question and he is more then happy to talk to us and take the time for us. We are grateful for his service. Our family member would not be where he is today had Mr. Hutchinson not represented us!!!

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:
-
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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. -
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.
