Anda is outstanding in her field, from the very first meeting you are not rushed, she will explain everything until you fully understand it, never fails to get back to you, even at weekends.

I will NOT seek another lawyer as long as I live. I spilled my guts to Andrew Shein; which I never actually do (I act) and he held me together. I thought I already wrote this but alas, here goes: HONEST, WISE, FAIR, PROFESSIONAL, FUNNY, REAL, BEST DEAL AROUND! I was extremely angry with nobody who understood but Andrew Shein listened and helped heal me. Understand how RARE this is for someone like me. You CAN trust Andrew Shein- 100%

So I'm pretty much a complete screw up, Andrew is probably my 12th or so criminal lawyer I've had to hire in tampa, fl. over 20 years. He is also hands down the best. He is a no nonsense sharp and extremely reasonable attorney. His excellent reputation with other attorneys is definitely a true mark. he will explain everything to you,. Andrew Shein-> highly recommend.

Nichole was very detailed in gathering valuable information to defend our son who was misrepresented by a public defender. He was caught up in a system that offered little chance to get out of jail when no crime had been committed. She clearly pointed that out to the judge and our son was immediately released.

Hired her to fight an early termination of probation motion that the State did not agree to grant. She listened to all my concerns, constructed multiple arguments based on case law, crafted a flawless motion with all the supporting exhibits. She got me a win that the other attorneys I consulted with said I had no chance. Her price was more than fair. I paid 25k to another big firm for my original case and didn’t get half the attention Nicole gave me. I had interviewed MULTIPLE attorneys this go around and I am very satisfied to have had Nicole on my team…Lesson learned

5-Star Review for Victoria and Jeanette
I cannot thank Victoria and Jeanette enough for their outstanding support and professionalism throughout the entire process of having my case dismissed. Victoria, as my attorney, was incredibly efficient, knowledgeable, and quick to take action, guiding with clarity and confidence, ensuring that the process went as smoothly as possible.
Jeanette, her legal assistant, provided emotional support that truly made a difference during this time. She was patient, compassionate, and always available to answer my questions or provide reassurance when I needed it most - this made a tremendous impact on me.
Together, they made an intimidating situation feel manageable, and their teamwork was seamless. Thanks to their dedication, my record was dismissed faster than I expected, giving me peace of mind and a fresh start. I highly recommend Victoria and Jeanette to anyone in need of a skilled, time efficient, and empathetic legal team!

My boyfriend has a family case which we wasn't knowledgeable about. We reached out to Mr. Fisher for a phone consultation and he was very pleasant, patient, a good listener and most of all very professional. He answered all our questions and direct us on what to do going forward you would have thought he already handling the case. Even after he gave us that consultation over the phone we needed some clarity on a few things, so I called back and made a second appointment for another in person consultation. Again Mr. Fisher sat with us diligently and answer every questions and concerns we had.. I strongly recommend this lawyer he deserved 10 stars . Remeber this experience is just for a consultation. It was a breathe of fresh air. Kudos Mr. Fisher.

It’s incredible to read the other review that had a negative experience with his law firm Because it sounds just like my story. Lack of action, the feeling like you are begging or asking for something rather than paying for service. The lack of thorough explanation about the legal process and the simplicity of time your actual consequences seems to be a trademark of this lawyer. I am now confused because I don’t know if he was working for the DA office or if he was there to represent me and fight for my innocence because looking back, there was always a deal on the table, There was always an option of simplicity, as if he didn’t want to be bothered with this issue. I completely understand the result of those actions because a simple search and reading of the legal system lead me to understand the consequences of his lack of action, a convicted felon, taking the time to explain or looking into other options rather than a quick deal that he prosecutor to get out of the way. I’m not here to ask for anything from the justice system or from this man I’m here to prevent you from making a mistake if you’re reading this for an actual lawyer says if you feel like your second home then go ahead and hire him

I met this man a couple years ago when a friend of mine needed help and I'll tell you what from back then he was amazing but I ended up getting into some trouble and as soon as he received the phone call he jumped into action I used his bail man and I was out within a few hours and I had Mr Chris retained before I even was released I can sell you one thing about him when it comes to his clients he does not play around with the case that I had pending I was looking at doing many years but this man right here made sure that I received a phone call from him today with the best news ever that my case was dismissed I can never thank him enough too bad I can't make a cheesecake take in anymore but if you are ever in need of a great or one of the best I should say criminal defense attorneys call this man right here.
I know when I went in to speak with him he told me just sit back and let him work his magic and sure enough today was the day that made this whole rest of this year all because of two words that he said to me which was case dismissed but as I said if you want the best criminal attorney around see this man right here and if I could give 10,000 Stars I would!
Chris thank you so much I can never tell you how grateful I am for you and for the fact that you took this on and got this case dismissed thank you so much my friend!

Be careful of hiring this guy. He is insidious. He called me after my criminal case was dropped Nolle Prosequi. Talked me into signing a contingency retainer to sue for police misconduct and false arrest. He held on the case for 3 months as the deadline to file before statue of limitations runs out. When I call now hangs hangs up the phone because of reasons he will not say. My opinion is he wants money UPFRONT or he will try to claim it was his case now that I signed on another Lawyer!! Becarefull when a lawyer wants to sign on too fast. My Opinion of this man is horrid!!! Stay Away!!!!

I actually met David as a veteran practicing yoga. Little did I know that he would be my light at the end of a very dark tunnel. David was more than a lawyer, and a very good one, with a stellar reputation of respect from the bench, attorney coworkers, and the community. He wasn't afraid of a David and Goliath situation, and walked me through some very confusing and difficult times. I can never repay the kindness, and so I pay it forward the best that I can. He will always hold a special place in my memory, and heart. His services were phenomenal, and I did win. Thank you David.

Mrs. Benson exceeded our families expectations in one of the worst times of our lives. When we felt hopeless, she helped us not only find hope, but helped our family have a chance to be together again. Our case began at the start of Covid shutdowns and Mrs. Benson got to work immediately helping us navigate through constantly changing times. She was compassionate and always willing and available when we needed her. She made us feel as if we were her only client. The case ended and our family member was in a far better position than we could have imagined. We are forever grateful for her and we highly recommend her.

I hired Troy because he informed me that he was familiar with my case, what he did not tell me that he had a client that was the person who informed the IRS Criminal Dept regarding me and my actions to get a deal. Troy was never honest with me and always kept me in the blind. Troy also sent me a threating email; Troy review my evidence and also kept my discovery from me until after I made a plea. Troy made this ordeal MORE stressful; I now know the stress was his way of control and having me make bad decision. Troy repeatly called me alias names and tell me what they (govt) were saying, but NEVER giving me a clear understanding of who was defending me. I finally wrote the Judge and the JUDGE removed Troy from my case. In the end it turn around without Troy and once I received an attorney that was for me.

Please beware of this law firm and check with the NC State Bar about attorney Patrick Megaro’s reprimand to not practice law in our State.He was hired to represent me in an Equitable Distribution case. Megaro failed to file a transcripts contact Rule 70 with Alamance County Clerk of Courts office. He missed the deadline then missed the dates after that could have gotten us an extension. My only hope for an appeal was over!!! They didn’t even tell me till months later that the appeal never went through. And to add insult to injury he blamed me for not hiring a transcriber in time. That is a complete false statement. I was told they would hire someone, file the contract and I would pay the cost of transcripts. So I paid the transcriber that I had to locate and hire because they didn’t find one within the time restrictions according to NC Law. Little did I know that I paid $10,000 for nothing because they lost my hope for an appeal. This is an unethical and unprofessional law firm. Please check out Patrick Megaro’s loss of license to practice in the State of NC for many years.

PERFECT!
I can't even begin to put into words my review for the ME Law Firm. I seriously could write a book. You know it's just a tough situation when you need to hire an attorney. Regardless of who's at fault or what is going on. It's a very emotionally tough position to be in. Adam Russo, Jon Eichelberger & staff are nothing short of amazing, wonderful people. Every email, phone call or text was handled with the upmost respect and treating us like human beings and not just another number. Although our situation was not unique, it was very stressful to say the least. It was nice to not be judged but to be told, everything will be okay and here's the plan of action and for it to be actually true. We were kept informed consistently, never kept in the dark, given great advice and able to speak to a live person. The correspondence was extremely responsive and we never had to stress about communication. BEST LAW FIRM - Hands down. I highly recommend the ME Law Firm for any of your legal needs. MB

Worked with me when I thought my life was going to be destroyed by my abusive ex . They were very lenient on payment plans / down payment when I explained my ex that beat me up for two years pinned me with false charges and helped me get a decent deal to where I never have to deal with that person again. Angelique has a very neutral demeanor as well as Joe ,which looks very professional in court and helped me feel like I had a fighting chance against my Ex. Highly recommended.

Useless lawyer. If you want to be lied to, this is the attorney to go to. Dont bother asking to file motions or to do really anything, you'll be wasting thousands and your time because this lawyer will just take your money and run with it. Absolutely has the worst communication, is a liar, and will not do anything you need.

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.

- 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.

- 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:

- 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.
