To put this in words it will not fully convey the appreciation I have for Sandy and his team. During the most difficult time in my life Sandy provided me with extraordinary legal expertise but more importantly the emotional support that I needed. His entire team (Aileen Sinclair, my angel in disguise) was always available, transparent, dependable, and extremely compassionate. They were exactly what I needed, and I can't express the gratification, admiration, and appreciation I have for all of them. Thank you, Sandy, Aileen, and team.!

I highly recommend Mr. Becher. He is the number 1 Attorney to get the job done. He took on my case 2 years ago when I had no clue of what my next step would be for my son I. My son is Disable and I was not getting any assistance from the other party but he assured me of what the outcome of the case would be and that was what he delivered. May God bless you and your family. Mr. Becher is very professional and has a heart for the job. He deserve 10 stars.

Mr. Canet is a lifesaver & the best attorney I could have ever asked for. The state wanted 8.5 years in prison and would not back down. My first attorney (NOT Canet) told me to take the 8.5 year plea bc my case was a clear win for the state and trial would be suicide. Within a month of hiring Mr Canet, he discovered missing evidence, contradicting testimonies AND internal investigation reports discrediting a key witness in my case. Once he started filing motions, he had the state so scared they put their best attorney on my case. At my first hearing, he had the state trembling & had the tenured officer on my case stuttering and fumbling his words. He made both of these experienced professionals look like unqualified rookies. Even the judge called the officers testimony “baffling” & pulled Mr. Canet to the side and said “you are a great attorney Mr. Canet.” He is aggressive and without a doubt the most knowledgeable in any courtroom. He is honest, fierce and a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom. Needless to say I am a free man today, Thanks to Mr. Canet. If you want a second chance at life, look no further, just pick up the phone, call him & Mr. Canet will go to war for you.

I decided to use Carlos's after speaking with several attorneys after receiving another DUI charge with very special circumstances and a blood draw with serious consequences and several grey areas. Carlos was not the cheapest and made no promises but that is why I choose him. He was extremely knowledgeable of the law and very professional and always available. I couldn't have been more happy with my choice and can assure he was worth every penny. He kept me out of jail and continues to help me with my needs after the case has been settled. Other attorneys will promise the world and then leave you hanging. I've never recommended or reviewed an attorney ever but I thought it was the absolute least I could do. I can't say Thank you enough Carlos... Thank you, Tim

Carlos was awesome he knows the law back and forth. His advice was on Point after talking with my family we decided that he was the right choice.

I have worked with Vinson Law for over one year. Their staff is very competent, professional, honest, and very tenacious in achieving positive results on the client's behalf.

26 Sep, 2024 by Larry annen

My asbestosis claim wasn’t large enough or severe enough for most lawyers. Vinson Law excepted my case when others wouldn’t. Vinson Law is extremely easy to work with, they handle everything professionally, and keep you apprised every step of the way. I have recommended Vinson Law to several of my military friends with the same conditions. Vinson Law accepted them and they are now getting the compensation that they deserve. I don’t ordinarily write reviews on Google or anywhere else unless there is exceptionally good service, which in this case there is.

Worked on my matter very professionally- just what you are looking for in a law firm. I can only give them 5 star- that is way too little. If you are looking for the best- They are the best.

I have been dealing with Mark Horwitz and his office for over 20 years for various reasons. Mark is probably the best criminal defense attorney in Orlando.. He is smart, reliable and responsive. When I could not get him on the phone his office always relayed messages and provided responses. I highly recommend Mark and his team for any legal matter on which they are able to represent you. Don't hesitate to retain him.

In June of 2016, I found myself facing multiple felony charges which were completely unfounded. I was referred to Andrew D. Stine, P.A., based in West Palm Beach. Thanks to the knowledge, expertise, and passion of Mr. Stine, all of my charges were dropped and I am in the process of rebuilding my life. I would recommend Mr. Stine to anyone who may be facing felony charges, whether warranted or not.

I work with Mr.Stine on two occasions, my divorce and a crimal case. This man outstandingly got me free in only one day. He has a great payment plan if money is low. He has even cleaned my name free of charge. What lawyer would do that for someone. He was patient with my divorce case and all my standards were met at the end. Thank you Mr.Stine.

I’m a RN, who has no knowledge about the law. I hired Mr Barrar to represent me in a child support/custody case. Mr Barrar made me feel comfortable, ALWAYS answered all my calls and questions and helped me throughout the process. He made something that was extremely difficult for me, as smooth as possible. Mr Barrar is professional, knowledgeable and he works with his heart. It was admirable to see him in court! I was so proud of my attorney, because he will fight for you until the end. Thank you Mr Barrar for everything you did, I will always be grateful.

My family hired Robert Barrar for my divorce because my wife accused me of domestic violence. I chose to have a trial by jury and was found not guilty by unanimous decision. Several of Robert's cases have been featured on Court-TV and Forensic Files. A master at court room dominance. After my trial. My father approached Mr. Barrar and said; I enjoyed watching you work.

03 Mar, 2021 by Jena

this man is such an AMAZING lawyer. He helped my father when no one else could. He always answered the phone/texts whenever we would reach out and was constantly available for my family to ask questions as well. We will be using him for any future legal needs. We HIGHLY recommend him.

Mr. Chang was gave me very personal service. He was consistently available through phone, email and text messages. He clearly explained every part of the process as my case in court unfolded. His advice turned out to be very sound, and in the end he was able to work with the state and court representatives to help me get the best possible results. I high recommend Mr. Chang for anyone needing legal representation.

20 Jun, 2020 by Anonymous

With such a big decision, I’m so glad that I made the right one by choosing Mr. Chang. The communication was outstanding, professional and the outcome more than I could have hoped for. At such a vulnerable time, I had other attorneys that I interviewed using fear tactics that almost worked. I had to put my trust in the intuition I had (as well as another good reference) that Mr. Chang was the best choice, and he was absolute perfection. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

09 Sep, 2018 by Stacey

Mr.Chang is An Amazing Attorney,I was extremely scared with what I was charged with especially never being in trouble before with the law.He had so much patience with me( I sent a lot of emails with my concerns)... He responded very quickly and reassured me numerous times that he would get me the best possible result.which he did!no jail time,I would recommend this lawyer to anyone,and if I ever have anymore issues with the law which heaven forbid I do,he will be the first lawyer i contact Thank you Mr.Chang you have saved me and my family's future.

My experience with David was nothing short of outstanding. During what was undoubtedly one of the most challenging and stressful times of my life, David proved to be an invaluable support. His genuine care and empathy made a significant difference in my experience. David's professionalism and timely communication helped alleviate my stress throughout this entire process. He handled my felony case professionally in the quickest time possible considering it was during the holiday season. David made this stressful process much more bearable. Exceptional service, exceptional results.

If you’re looking for the most effective attorney in Miami and Florida you have found him. Mr. Braun was extremely patient and personable with me as a client during this anxious time and came to a more than satisfactory agreement. I would recommend Mr. Braun over any attorney I have ever worked with or hired. If you want to sleep easy at night and have a stressful situation, look no further, Mr. Braun is a fixer and a lawyer you can trust. Again, thank you Mr. Braun I was lucky and fortunate to find you.

I hired David Braun for a violation of felony probation and he got me out of jail to fight the case. He then got me time served while the state insisted I serve the bottom of the guidelines 94 months. He really dig into the case and worked for me every step of the way.

It took Eric at least 3/4 weeks to get everything resolved for me and for me that was a very fast especially with him coming into this situation blind folded! I am grateful that I got to experience his abilities as an amazing lawyer to get this done. There is no doubt about it my mind that I wouldn’t reach back out to him if needed to do so.

09 Oct, 2023 by Vo

I met Eric through a friend, he spoke very highly of Eric, and guess what everything he said was 100% true cause I ended up hiring him. He is a very experienced powerful attorney who's power shows through his work. I used Eric 3 times, and all 3 outcomes were 100% successful. What I really appreciate about Eric is the fact that you don't have to go through any assistance to get to him he is completely direct no matter the time he always finds a way to get to you lol I used to ask myself if he ever get a full 8 hours of sleep. I'm so grateful to Eric cause if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be rejoicing right now and you know what's more important he is a man of his word who treats his clients with so much respect and kindness. I would highly recommend Eric based on my experience with him and the fact that he represents you with his heart, and does not make you feel like your are being judged. To Eric Voltz may you never let money get to your head please continue being you, may God bless you, and everything you touch abundantly. You are an attorney at heart and it shows through your work!

I am a victim of crypto scam. I have been knocking on every door I can possibly find hoping I can find help. Most people I talk to have no idea what cryptos are and how they work. The ones who do understand and can actually help are helpful only if there’s something in it for them. The second they realize my case isn’t worth their time, they just cut the conversation short and wish me good luck. Having spoken to many of them and being hopeless, I found Mr. Behr. His knowledge about the crypto world is so impressive. Once he realized how much I have lost, he was kind enough to honestly tell me not to hire him as this would not financially make sense. I honestly felt like when my late father used to give me advice. Mr. Behr knew that I wouldn’t be his client but still took his time and explained the process, steps I need to take, people and organizations I need to contact, and subjects I need to familiarize myself with in order to fight this battle on my own. Mr. Behr is the type of caring professional we need more in today’s society. Thank you so much Ralph. You definitely made me think there are still good hearted humans out there. Just like you said: “ Winners Never Quit & Quitters Never Win”.

Attorney Mirer assisted me in vacating a 20 year old involuntary plea that I took on a 3rd degree felony drug charge (2004) while I was in my last semester at FIU with a questionable search seizure that was nothing less than a thorn in my side which caused me great pain and suffering over the years and with my career. This plea which I accepted believing I was doing the right thing caused me to be criminalized in the subsequent years when I began applying for public jobs. My original attorney, knowing that I was finishing college, a US Citizen and a Navy veteran, didn't exercise the care he pledged to uphold and didn't explain the damaging effects of taking this plea regardless of it being sealed. Instead he took my money and he and his wife stabbed me square in the back. My suffering was real and I did not deserve all that I endured. In spite of this, there wasn't a single attorney in the entire State of Florida including the fellow who represented me originally, that believed they could help me. None stepped forward until I met Attorney Mirer. He went above and beyond his calling to assist me and not only will I be forever grateful, but I will recommend and endorse him any day of the year. I wish I would have met him 20 long years ago. Nonetheless, I'm so happy this nightmare is finally over. Thank you so much for all you did for me and my family sir ! - FORMER CLIENT MARCH-SEPTEMBER 2024

No entiendo como puedes vivir sin que te revuelva el estómago. Tu defiendes delincuentes y proxenetas. A pedifilos. Increíblemente algunos casos no llegan a juicio a pesar de existir suficiente evidencia. Como es posible? Oh ya tu trabajaste como fiscal del estado o me equivoco? Todavía tu riqueza un día se convertirá en barro. El karma existe y Dios no perdona estas acciones. Defender delincuentes y pedofilos no es ninguna virtud, es solo una parte más de lo que significa el poder del dinero.

Mark, Jeanette and his team were nothing short of impeccable throughout my entire case. They both stood ready to answer my questions at any time and always did so promptly. Mark assured me before retaining him that he would be able to have my charges reduced to a lesser charge and did exactly that. If you’re in a jam, this is the team you want on your side.

Mr. O’Brien and his team is out standing!!! The professionalism and the sense of care and ownership they possess during my case was top-tier!!! As a first time of getting into trouble with anything legal I came across a lot of lawyers in the area and none of them by far stood out to me as much as Mr. O’Brien team, especially Jeanette. She was definitely heaven sent and vouch for me as a stranger for Mr. O’Brien to take on my case. From that moment on, I knew that I was in great hands, and as the case ended, the results definitely proved that I was in the right hand!!! I would refer this law off to anyone that needs legal advice on anything that Mr. O’Brien is expertise in. Everyone that I came in contact with in the office made me feel like family reassured me that I was in great hands and that they will do everything that they could to get me my desired results. Hopefully, I won’t ever have to see them again, but I do really appreciate everything that everyone has done in the office and I wish you all the best and great prosperity!!! God bless!!!

Having Camille Coolidge represent me was a positive experience in every way. My wife and I were beyond impressed by her professionalism, attention to detail, organization and clarity. She was prompt and thorough in her responses to all of our questions and concerns. Not only does she strive for excellence as an attorney but she is above all a wonderfully caring human being. Facing legal challenges can be very difficult but Camille Coolidge makes every effort to help her clients and gives them peace of mind through the process. I can’t thank her enough for everything she did for me and my family.

I normally don’t write reviews, but I wouldn’t wish this situation on anyone. My lawyer is Mary Hammons, I can’t speak for other attorneys but if she is assigned to you, RUN or ask for her to be removed. My experience, with her during trial was horrible she was not prepared and would not object to false statements and information provided to the judge.

I can’t thank Keith Szachacz enough for his incredible support throughout my case. Keith was with me every step of the way, making sure I wasn’t unjustly prosecuted for something I didn’t do. He carefully reviewed every detail, addressed significant discrepancies in the case, and got my charge dismissed. His dedication and expertise made all the difference, and I always felt confident with him on my side. A special thanks to Roxy in the office for always being there to answer my questions with professionalism and care. I also want to thank Kepler Funk and Alan Diamond for their help during my initial consultation and for giving me all the information I needed. If you’re looking for a criminal defense team that will truly fight for you, I highly recommend Funk, Szachacz, and Diamond.

Personally I had bad experience with this firm , initially I contacted the is firm because we need to resolve an issue with something we purchased and we got scammed for more than 5k with a company in Miami , this firm ask for every detail in this case and they took it but after 3 months I was trying to contact them and the person in charge of my case was no longer available and they didn’t tell us anything like an update or anything so I had to call Them and also write many messages via Instagram and after 3 weeks they finally responded just saying that they not gonna take my case without mentioning anything Terrible customer service and I believe the lawyers or attorneys working there are really amateur and with zero professionalism

I went to O'Brien Hatfield with the most important mission that I had ever needed to accomplish. I was scared, physically sick, and clueless as to how to proceed. After just the first time speaking to them, I knew everything would be ok. From the start I trusted them wholeheartedly. They were always there, even if I texted late in the evening asking advice outside the realm I had first sought them out for. Really, everyone a part of O'Brien Hatfield is lovely and kind. Most of all though they have a fierceness and intelligence that gives you peace of mind in knowing you have chosen the right people to succeed with what you need done. I will be grateful to them for all of time. Most of all I want to mention Jeanette. She was my go to and it really meant a lot to me that she was there.

Would avoid working with this firm if at all possible. They are extremely slow to respond, completely disregard emails, and show a complete lack of empathy or understanding. If you are not consistently following up, you will be hard pressed to receive any type of response. If you do receive a response, it will be short and often times not even answer your questions. It consistently felt like we had to chase them down for the most simple requests. Go elsewhere if you have the option.

What a Federal Crime Lawyer Can Do for You

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

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

When Should I Hire a Federal Crime Lawyer?

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

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

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

What Does a Federal Crime Lawyer Do?

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

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

How Are Federal Crime Lawyers Paid?

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

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

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

How Much Does a Federal Crime Lawyer Cost?

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

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

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

How to Check the Credibility of a Federal Crime Lawyer

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

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

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

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

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

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