Zachary is super friendly and optimistic. I spoke to a few other lawyers before him and they sounded like they hated what they did. When facing a charge for the first time, it was nice to speak to someone who was ready and willing to help.

Sarah is definitely a 5star attorney, I have a federal case out of the southern district of Georgia. She did my direct appeal and oral arguments. We did not win, she fought tooth and nail through the entire process. Her brief allowed me to have a great foundation for the Supreme Court (acquitted conduct), (trial punishment). Without her knowledge of the law and hard work I would never have been able to make it through this corruption of the government. Now congress, sentencing commission and Supreme Court are about to change law on the above issues. After completing my case Sarah continues to help me on any of my legal issues. She is always a email away

I highly recommend Mrs. Saraliene Durrett for your attorney needs. Mrs. Durrett will put up a fight and she doesn't make any promises she won't keep. She is always there when you need her unlike some attorneys that don't return calls but she does. She has all the skills and knowledge and will tell you upfront. I am thankful we crossed paths and she will always be my go-to God bless you and your family

Ms. Durrett’s was a good Lawyer she represented me like I was a family member. She made sure everything was taken care of when it came to me. I had a federal case I was looking to do Prison time and I ended up doing three years of probation. I will always recommend her she is a very good person and lawyer

I recently had the pleasure of working with John Lovell, and his team at John Lovell Esq. PC and I couldn't be more pleased with the level of professionalism and expertise they provided. From the initial consultation to the final resolution of my case, John was attentive, thorough, and always kept me informed every step of the way. He took the time to listen to my concerns and provided excellent advice and guidance throughout the entire process. I truly felt like I was in good hands and that he had my best interests at heart. What sets John apart is his specialization in representing clients in federal court throughout the U.S. His extensive knowledge of federal law and his experience in federal court gave me confidence that my case was in the right hands. Not only did John provide exceptional legal services, but he also demonstrated a genuine concern for my well-being and the outcome of my case. I appreciated his ability to explain complex legal matters in a way that was easy to understand, and his willingness to answer all of my questions and address any concerns I had. Overall, I highly recommend John Lovell, Esq. and his team to anyone in need of legal representation in federal court. He is an exceptional lawyer who truly cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to ensure their satisfaction. Thank you, John, for all of your hard work and dedication to my case!

John Lovell has literally saved my life . I was facing a multiple federal drug charge indictment before I met John. John immediately reviewed my case without being given anything and created a plan for me . He not only frequently checked on my case, but he also would communicate just to see how I was doing. I am a college student and he helped me through the most difficult time in my life. Ultimately he was able to get a full dismissal, which is extremely rare in the federal court system. The moment I met John I knew I was in good hands as he never made a guarantee but he he promised to fight for me, which he did. Once again I can’t think him enough. He is someone that you can count on during a stressful time. He is one of the best lawyers in THE WORLD ! I can write a essay on how awesome of a person he is . Just a simple conversation with him will habe you at a peace of mind.

John Lovell , is an outstanding Attorney who deserves the upmost respect and recognition for his hard work ethic. He handles his cases not only on a professional but a personally level. Unlike most attorneys who seek to make a quick dollar and get your case over with, John will carefully examine your discovery and build the best defense possible for you. When we first met I felt as if my life had taken the wrong turn and everything was over. Mr.Lovell gave me encouraging words of faith and advice that will live with me for the rest of my life. He is a man of integrity who will under promise and over deliver. I am forever thankful to have him represent me and would highly recommend you retain him if your looking for a quality and genuine attorney.

Our son was arrested by the Atlanta PD one evening in August 2019. I got a call at home at 1 am from the University Dean telling me he was in the Fulton County jail and had been charged with a felony. My son's entire future, reputation and education was at stake and we had no details of the events that led up to his arrest. After searching online for the best defense attorney I could find, I contacted Mr Weintraub at 7 am the following morning and he immediately went into action. He was able to get my son released the following day on a signature bond so that he would not miss any more classes. Over the next several weeks, Mr Weintraub and his fantastic private investigator gathered exculpatory evidence, interviewed witnesses and expertly navigated the case through the court system. Before the end of the year he was able to have the case entirely dismissed. I have no hesitation in recommending Howard Weintraub as a criminal defense attorney and cannot imagine what might have happened to our son if I had not made the call.

John helped us resolve a very difficult property issue. He was candid about our options, and his integrity was never in doubt. Through his perseverance and professionalism, he achieved for us more than we thought we would get. We trusted him to always have our best interests for the case, and he followed through with everything he said he would do.

I cannot speak highly enough about Attorney John Baker of Baker and Slider. Mr. Baker represented me for approximately four years. During that time, he kept me fully informed about all the details of my case. He returned my calls promptly and most importantly was exceedingly ethical in all of our dealings. This four-year period was extremely challenging. Mr. Baker was exceptional at managing this case and my expectations. If I needed another attorney in Georgia, (I sincerely hope that I do not) Mr. Baker would be my very first choice.

20 Feb, 2017 by Jennifer

Mr. Baker has helped our company over the years in a couple different issues. From day one, he listens to your needs and is there to help you in anyway he can. He was successful both times we have used him. Won, my last case- which was a lawsuit against me and my company. Wouldn't recommend anyone else!!

Got me the best case scenario. Hands down the best I’ve seen in a court room!

15 Oct, 2020 by Anonymous

The only time I expected to hire a lawyer is when it came time to writing up a contract for a small business. Having to hire one for defense was the last thing on my mind especially how rough a year is has already been. Since the beginning, communication with Troy has been clear, straight forward, and was not sugarcoated. He is well versed in law and will thoroughly go over the details of your circumstances. Troy has your back until the end and will take all the steps to ensure the best results that leaves everyone happy

We hired Troy during a very difficult time in our life. He was so amazing. He worked diligently on our behalf and the results was so much better than we ever expected. He is a compassionate, honest, hardworking attorney who goes above and beyond for his clients.

13 Jun, 2024 by Michael h

I met Thomas C Woodridge through the Georgia Bar Association. He was one of the attorneys referred to me by the Georgia Bar Association and dealing with people with disability on the American Disability Act. After talking with him by phone, we met to discuss my case in his office, and I’m glad we did. I remember him telling me I had a case, and I’m so happy he took it. I had never seen an attorney like him who fought so hard and did the things that he did for me, A person that’s dyslexic, and I thank God that I had the opportunity to meet him when my back was up against the wall. During the deposition, it would be like fireworks to see how he had the city up against the rope, how he was chewing them up and spitting them out, and noticed that he did it from his heart. On a scale from 0 to 10, I will give him 10, but I will go back and borrow the zero, put it with the 10, and make it 100. That’s how good he is. I wish he were still here in Georgia practice instead of North Carolina because he is one of the best.

Nick worked with Paul Bartels on our cases. They really went the extra mile in our case. We hired them for a drug / controlled substances case. Well, it was more like three different cases in two different counties, including a probation violation case, a new controlled substances violation case, and a different controlled substances case (where a gun was also found, though it wasn't his, but the DA might have said who knows what). So, this was an extremely difficult situation, with three felonies in 2 counties all being processed at the same time! It took a lot of juggling! And on top of all that, our goal was to get the person into rehab, in order to get better, versus just to have time in jail. They had so much work to do to make this happen, helping to identify rehabs that the judge would approve, that the probation officer would approve, that the DA would approve. Nick and Paul were professional, courteous, and hard working. We are very appreciative.

09 Nov, 2015 by Harley

The state of Georgia indicted me on two counts of Racketeering that I did not commit. Nick defended me with dedication, caring, and skillfulness in interacting with all parties involved. Against almost insurmountable odds, he was able to get my case dismissed. I will be eternally grateful for all he has done for me. I consider him a superb criminal defense attorney and also call him my friend!

I was in a bad situation at one point in my life, the Federal Government brought criminal action against me and i knew i had to be accountable for my action. I was looking for a good lawyer who specialized in criminal law, one who has professional experience in a court room and could give me good advice on what i needed to do. I interviewed three lawyer and someone told me about Nicholas Lotito, so i meet with him and we talked for hours, i was very impress with his honesty, i was convince and had know doubts or uncertainty that he was the person i needed to represent me. At the end of the trial everything worked out good. So thank you Mr. Lotito for the good work you did.

Mr. Fields handled a traffic ticket for me where he was able to get it dismissed. During our consultation he was very knowledgeable and familiar with the courts in Savannah. As an attorney myself in another state, I was immediately put at ease and could tell Mr. Fields knew what he was talking about and would be able to work with the courts to get me the best possible outcome. Mr. Fields is professional, responsive to his clients and I would highly recommend him.

When I first contacted Roger, he was not my attorney but gave me more of his time and personal assistance than anyone else had. He kept me informed of what was going on in my case and even assisted in contacting the attorney for my son and informed me of what could happen in his case. He gives 110% to assist his clients and even those who are not or may not be a client. In my experience this is very unusual for an attorney. When we went to court, the judges office notified him that day we were to be in court as soon as we could get there. He cancelled everything else he had to be in court with me. He did everything he could to assist me and presented a very convincing case for me.

Carter is an outstanding and passionate attorney. I was arrested a couple years back on Halloween at a road block by State Patrol for a "DUI" after passing all the field sobriety tests. I was driving a friend home, but State Patrol arrested me anyway. I contacted Carter after I was bailed out. He quickly took my case, reviewed the evidence, police tapes, and was determined to prove I was truly innocent and should not have been arrested that night. My case was presented at the state level where they agreed I was not to be charged with a DUI due to the lack of evidence. Since the case was brought to the state court, Carter was able to arrange a plea bargain to reduce to reckless driving with no probation or nonsense alcohol and drug evaluation/classes. Carter fought for my case and was able to make the best of the situation and prove me innocent. The case took multiple years to close, however, he kept me informed of what was happening and what to expect the entire time. He is patient and will answer any questions you have and fight for what you. I highly recommend Carter. He is very passionate about his job and is truly on the defendants side.

11 Feb, 2016 by Gordon

A few months ago I was arrested on several serious charges. After initially consulting with Carter, I decided he would be the best person to represent me based on his clear understanding of my situation, and his ability to explain what was happening in layman's terms. I’m pretty ignorant when it comes to legal processes, but Carter was very patient in explaining my options to me, and answered all of my questions completely - regardless of how silly or paranoid they were. He was attentive and professional through the entire process, which reassured me I had made the right decision in hiring him. Ultimately, Carter was able to negotiate a reasonable plea agreement with the prosecutor, which was really the best possible outcome for my case. I hope I’ll never require this type of legal service again, but I would certainly rehire Carter if I did.

From the moment we hired this law firm, they started working efficiently to get the best results for my fiance's case. Katryna was straight forward and very honest about what she could do. She worked very hard on his case and did extremely well when she went before the judge. She was detailed and thorough and fought hard to get him the lowest time. He was facing over 15 years and she got his time cut by more than half that. We are very appreciative and grateful for her forever! I highly recommend her!

From day one when i called Lowther/Walker LLC, I have been very happy with my services they promised me they would work hard at my case but never over promised anything. I would recommend Katryna Spearman because she did an amazing job with helping me with my case and making sure I understood everything. At sentencing she did the best she could to make sure that I received the least amount of time. Now after sentencing she is still working hard for me because I have so many medical problems and she is making sure that I get the best things possible with the situation.

Nicole was extremely professional throughout the entire process and delivered exceptional results. Her communication was always clear, and she kept me informed every step of the way.

05 Jun, 2022 by Michael jones

Ms Westmoreland is special compared to most lawyers. What separates her most is the fact she actually cares. Most lawyers separate emotion which makes them just do work and go home and forget it about it. Mrs Westmoreland has passion and uses it to fight for you. Dealing with her taught me that if a lawyer doesn't actually care they are not the right lawyer!!

05 Jun, 2022 by Anonymous

In Dealing with Nicole I realized I had the wrong lawyers all along. Nicole Westmoreland won my case for me. Whenever I called her she answered. I asked her how was she always available to answer my calls and give me so much attention and she replied she doesn't take every case that comes her way. She said if she is flooded with cases how could she effectively represent anyone. She just wouldn't have the time. She just makes sense !! Thank you for everything attorney Westmoreland !!

Mr. Schiavone has represented me and quite a few people I know. He is very professional and seems to "care" about his clients' outcome of the cases that he represents. He has what it takes to stand up to the DA. He is one of the top criminal attorneys in the area and if you are a local to Savannah... you have heard his name. He knows the law and he has backbone.

Att. Jezek is very compassionate. She made sure I knew how important it was to be forthcoming with all info and paperwork. She also made a point of looking at my case from all directions which helped me understand the laws better and see when I may have been at fault. It also showed how much my former employer was at fault.

My father was facing federal charges & was appointed Mrs. Leek. She was very helpful and returned any calls that I had concerning him or his case. She also called me and informed me of every step, procedure, and visit that she had with my father. I like Mrs. Leek because unlike other lawyers, she did not beat around the bush or sugar coat anything when I asked her. She was upfront and straight forward the entire time which I appreciated considering the circumstances.She fought for him all the way and he came out very good.

I admit I was very high maintenance, but emotions were elevated and Mr. Segui handled it well. He told me in the beginning he hated divorce and custody cases, but he was able to answer all my questions and definitely held his own against my ex-wife's attorney. I felt comfortable and wasn't worried at all. I now have sole custody of my son, and that's not easy to do in the South! I would definitely use Mr. Segui again, but I hope it won't be a divorce or custody case.

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.
