Residing in the Chicago area, I have selected Mr. Jonathan Minkus to represent me in several instances/legal issues, including very recently. I remain impressed with his knowledge, accessibility, and professionalism, both in and out of the courtroom. His gentle, respectful yet direct approach defending my case in the courtroom was well-received and led to what I believe to be a fair outcome. His office staff was also very accessible and receptive. Hopefully never again needed, but I would definitely choose the representation of Mr. Minkus again.

I very much recommend John's services, as I've never met such a kind & caring attorney, who never treats his clients like another number:
His services are quick, seamless, and on top of which he has also provided some added assurance in all aspects, "holding my hand" throughout the entire process. His negotiation skills are also top notch! I'm very impressed by his work & would most definitely have him be my defender again if I ever experience another unforeseen predicament.

We were just about to give up hope on getting my boyfriend's license reinstated in IL when I contacted John Callahan this all changed. He and his associates were very helpful and understanding of our situation. They walked us through every step of the way and made it a much easier process than we had experienced trying to do it on our own.
We highly recommend John Callahan and his associates. Thank you again for all your help!!

Marneri Law, P.C. was extremely great to work with again. Nico, Nicole and Bryan are by far the best in the business. Thanks again for making this closing as easy as possible. Looking forward to working with you all again in the future!

I recently worked with the Marneris Law team to close my condo purchase. As a first-time homebuyer, I was admittedly quite nervous about how the negotiations would go, but Niko & Shayla were extraordinary to work with from start to finish. Their attention to detail, swift responses, and friendly demeanor was all so appreciated & comforting during the entire process.
Lastly, I truly felt that Niko advocated for me with the seller's attorney during some last minute issues that popped up in the final walk-through, with a favorable outcome when all was said & done.
I'd recommend Marneris Law to absolutely everyone in their home purchase endeavors! Thank you again for everything, Niko & Shayla!

We recently worked with Marneris Law for our home purchase, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Despite facing some unexpected challenges, Shayla and the team provided exceptional support, guiding us through each step with clear communication and expertise. Their attention to detail and dedication resolving issues made what could have been a stressful process smooth and manageable. I highly recommend Marneris Law to anyone looking to buy a home—they truly made all the difference!

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

I cannot recommend Attorney Vadim Glozman highly enough. My mother was facing a terrifying 10-year federal prison sentence, and thanks to his exceptional legal skills and dedication, her sentence was reduced to just one day, time considered served.
From start to finish, Vadim was incredibly responsive, supportive, and professional. He took the time to explain everything to us, kept us updated throughout the process, and gave us confidence when we needed it most. His deep knowledge of federal law and his ability to build a strong defense made all the difference in my mother’s case.
If you or a loved one are facing a federal case, Vadim Glozman is the attorney you want by your side. His expertise and commitment to his clients are unmatched.

Words simply don’t do enough to express my genuine gratitude for Young and her Teams support in handling my husbands immigration case. We first connected with Young about a year ago to adjust my husband’s status as he overstayed his visa. I found Young through my legal insurance offered by my job with MetLife, Young acted quickly once we contacted her office and shared our love story and its legal challenges of immigration. Young became enthralled with our story and was confident that she could help us adjust my husband’s status, and assist with all applicable applications. Young is an expert Immigration Attorney! She is extremely efficient and knowledgeable, and helped us tremendously with all the immigration procedures. We had some interesting bumps along the way, not the fault of our wonderful attorney, but by USCIS itself. Young stood right beside us, literally and figuratively to ensure we understood all legal matters and future proceedings. It was an emotionally exhausting case since we had a surprising second interview, with too many complexities involved to understand, but Young and her team, along with their strategic thinking and bold advocacy helped us achieve a favorable outcome. In the height of political turmoil, this process was simply draining, and I mean real tears at times. Young instilled so much faith and reassurance in my husband and myself, we interviewed with confidence. Exceptional service and results is an understatement, I can go on and on, maybe even chapters! I’m beyond grateful, what a friend she has in me forever and beyond! Now we can travel, worry free and experience all the world has to offer together. Simply amazing, and highly recommend!

I am thrilled to share my experience with the law firm of Gal Pissetzky and his exceptional assistant, Jennifer. Over the past couple of years, they have provided me with invaluable support in navigating my legal matters, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
From the very beginning, Gal and Jennifer demonstrated outstanding professionalism and expertise. They are remarkably punctual and responsible, always keeping me informed and updated at every step. Their deep knowledge of the law is evident, and they have a unique ability to break down complex legal concepts into easily understandable terms, which has been incredibly reassuring during challenging times.
What truly sets them apart is their commitment to their clients. They deliver on their promises and work tirelessly to ensure the best possible outcomes. Their excellent work ethic and communication skills made me feel supported and confident throughout the process.
If you are in need of powerful legal defense, I wholeheartedly recommend Gal Pissetzky and Jennifer without any reservations. They have been a tremendous help to me, and I am certain they will provide the same level of dedication and expertise to anyone who seeks their assistance.
Thank you, Gal and Jennifer, for everything you have done!

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

My immigration situation wasn’t easy.
In 2016 I gave my case to a “reputable” polish attorney.
It was hard to believe but 8 years flew by with lack of any results which left me hopeless, depressed and sad.
Not only he did not progress my case at all, but exposed me to the higher risk of the potential removal proceedings.
I honestly doubted I’d ever become a “legal” resident.
Not to mention how terrifying it was to even think of possible permanent returning to Poland after 24 years in USA.
My case seemed hopeless until a friend referred me to Justin Burton's office. As soon as I met him I knew he was a true professional and expert in the immigration law.
Justin stands for his words and his work. I trusted him 100%. He delivers the discussed results, never sugar-coats, keeps clients well informed, and stays in touch with them. I loved how specific and to the point he was - I finally was in hands of a nonsense-free professional who respects people and their time.
This July a year went by since Justin took my case and I already received my dream green card!
The process was a success thanks to Justin and his team (special thanks to Kevin representing me in front of the immigration judge)
I dont speak sufficient English which always causes me stress and huge anxiety, but Justin’s office took care of it. Their polish translator, Renata assisted me whenever needed.
With Justin overseeing the complex multiple facades and dealing with of all immigration intricacies the whole process was actually a pleasure!
I felt safe and well taken care of.
In just 1 year Justin Burton accomplished what others couldn’t in a decade. I highly recommend Justin’s immigration law services.
He gets the job done.
Thank you,
Teresa Doniec

Ramon A. Moore provided me with exceptional counseling. I hired him for a DUI hearing for the impoundment of my vehicle. He made sure I understood my case and my options. He was a great representation in court, he thoroughly went over the proposal he created for me. He fought my case head on and won. I am extremely satisfied with the results and would recommend Ramon A. Moore to anyone in a heart beat.

You messed up but relief is nearby. You want an expert who will also listen to you, explain the situation and your options and put you in the best situation for a positive outcome. Martin is your guy. After you hire him when you are going through waves of freaking out you can come to Avvo and re-read the 100+ positive comments (I've read them all for comfort 8 times by now) and know you've done all you can to help your situation.
I put myself in a tough situation. I went out for a few drinks, nothing egregious but when I was leaving a parking lot I goosed it around a corner and squeeled my tires. I was pulled over and declined to talk the the officers about where I was that evening or participate in any sobriety tests. The prosecutors for DUI trials in Lake county are farmed out to a private firm and the state's firm sent their #1 top guy. Martin got us a Not Guilty on DUI and Reckless driving, and a modest fine and court supervision for squealing tires. Martin went head-to-head with the state's top dui prosecutor and left him noticeably pissed while we walked out with a huge W.
You'll be comforted by his understanding of Lake county courts and procedures. He will listen to you. We worked together to craft a defense and no point anything that I thought important was left unconsidered.
Even though my case hit a complication and dragged on a bit his flat rate fees were clear fair. Quite honestly they were about 75% of what I expected and was willing to pay for a proven winner.
He's super busy but will always make time for you. Most importantly, he's a genuinely good guy.
There's a reason for Martin's top rating. Do yourself a favor and pick the best. Get the free consult and make your own choice. It's hard to put a price in peace of mind. If you've read this, you've been informed. Unless you have another proven rockstar at your disposal to consider I strongly advise you to go with Martin.

I was represented by Justin in my divorce proceeding and found him to be friendly, funny and helpful. Despite paying more than I thought I would, I kept my pension, and essentially received full custody of my 4 minor children despite being married for 24 yrs. I'm not saying or trying to mislead anyone to believe that I got out unscathed but keeping a pension and getting custody of your children is not very common.
Justin litigated my divorce as well as he possibly could under the circumstances and I would highly recommend his law firm.
You get what you pay for.

I went into Dan's house as a 5-foot single woman. At first, I found him somewhat scary and had to keep a straight face. I couldn't even rack a gun properly. Now, I need to know how to use a lock safe.

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

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.
