Michael (Satterwhite) has been my lawyer for over a decade. He is unequivocally the most trusting attorney, and has a wide range of experience in general practice. He has helped me from representing me in my first home purchase to helping my wife with her legal documents to now working with me on creating my will. You never have to worry because Michael is always honest and transparent from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Working with Joe Simons was the best decision I made for my Federal case in California. A process that took over 3 years from start to finish Joe walked me through each process. Constantly working with the prosecutor to get me a better deal all the way down to Probation. Joe is up front and honest with you from the beginning on what to expect and that made each moment easier to handle. Even flying out to California multiple times I knew I was in good hands. Joe was always there to answer any questions and even after sentencing he is still helping with technical aspects of probation. I 100% recommend Joe Simons and his Law firm. They will have your back throughout the whole process.

I highly recommend the Eskow Law Group for anyone about to involve themselves in a dental practice transition. Working with them was an excellent experience from start to finish. I have an attorney in my family, but decided to go with a dental-specific attorney for purchasing a dental practice. Now after going through the process, I am very glad I did. From the LOI to the APA and P&S all the way through the closing day, the Eskow Group went above and beyond to keep us safe from the many pitfalls in a convoluted transaction like ours. I met Jon at the Yankee Dental Conference and shortly after found a practice to purchase. I reached out to him and he gave me some great advice to start with, even before signing our engagement letter. Once we started the process of purchasing the practice, we worked closely with Samara Bell, who is an attorney you definitely want on your side. She is sharp, critical, and friendly and will look out for you at every turn. I was especially impressed with their ability to keep everything organized. Our transaction was fairly complex - it involved buying the practice and the real estate under different entities, simultaneously. The seller's legal team was very difficult to work with, but Samara and Jon handled all of these issues with poise. In terms of pricing, their rates are very reasonable and in my opinion, worth every penny. I recommend them to every one of my dental colleagues.

I had the pleasure of recently meeting with Attorney Christopher Early regarding the building/running of my own law firm. He promptly responded to my request to meet, including rescheduling after I cancelled for a family issue, and met me with a smile, attention and great advice. I have since applied that advice and noticed immediate results! Whether you are a client in need of representation or an attorney looking for an insightful prospective on what to do next, you should do yourself a favor and reach out to Attorney Early. You will not be disappointed!

Tyler is awesome. I reached out to Tyler to assist me with my motor vehicle accident injury based on the Google reviews. I felt very reassured I was going to be in good hands based on my consultation with Tyler. He is very responsive. It’s very reassuring to know you don’t have to wait days to hear back from your attorney. Tyler was always in office when I called and he is quicker with emails if you decided to email instead. Tyler definitely fought and represented me until the end, and I can’t say I was ever disappointed choosing him as my legal attorney. I also work at a law firm myself and it proves Tyler takes passion in what he does for his clients. I am going to refer him to my family in friends if they shall ever need his services.

I have worked with this firm and with Tyler in particular, and I extremely recommend their assistance in case you are in need of a premium service in this area of the law. From my first call I had the opportunity to talk directly with Tyler and he took his time to listen about my case and offered me an appointment for the next day. From that first appointment I felt very comfortable because I could see he has real interest trying to understand my case and putting the time to review all the documents I had. After that he communicated in an efficient and on time manner when he had any relevant updates about the case (without me having to call him for that). And if I had something to tell him or consult he was available and replied quick. Finally he managed to get the results we have discussed without delays. So for all this amazing service I am extremely grateful and I recommend him and the firm to any person that might have a case and is looking for assistance and guidance. Thanks a lot Tyler!

Amazing attorney and great person. Mr.House not only believed in me, he provided me the best defense. The court officers even told me when I was in the back that this “this is the guy you want. Trust me.” When I asked them about him. And they were right. Jameson swiftly got my case dismissed due to exculpatory evidence on my cell phone. I would give 6 stars if I could.

I retained Brian during a time of extreme duress. My son ( who has a mental illness)was charged with some outrageously over inflated and serious crimes. I spent days researching legal resources and read up on legal statutesI had no idea if my son's rights were being violated. He was locked up without bail and his court appointed attorney was just shrugging his shoulders and asking for continuances. Brian took over and immediately began to change the course of disaster. He was amazing and continues to help us clean up the legal entanglements that we have been in because of my sons mental illness. Brian met with him, explained what was happening in terms he could understand. I completely TRUST him to pay attention and continue to fight for Jared's legal rights to live a decent life, free from criminal charges caused by my calls for help for a section 12 Police to the Hospital. Every charge is a result of Law Enforcement's mishandling of him while was is in crisis. I would definitely recommend him.

Very smart and informative attorney. He listened to and heard my issue. However based on my research of other legal representation he seemed to be a little overpriced for my liking. I would still without a doubt recommend his services, however recommendations would be given to individuals with deep pockets. Also after I forwarded documents to him a few days ago as requested. I have still yet to receive a reply back.

During the hardest most emotional day of my life Michaela not only fought for me and my rights as a mother, but she gave me the confidence I needed to hold my head high. I walked into family court without a lawyer for over 3 years because I could not afford an attorney. Always leaving the courthouse feeling completely defeated and powerless. But, when I finally got my trial date I realized that I was too emotionally attached to this case to represent myself. So, I hired Michaela. I heard she was the best. I wasn’t sure I even knew what that meant at the time. But after watching her in action I can honestly say that she is absolutely the BEST! She fought as if my daughter was hers. She found evidence to prove my entire case. Evidence that other lawyers didn’t even notice. When it started to feel like I was loosing, she helped me keep my composure. Knowing how emotional this can be she sympathized with me, all while encouraging me and letting me know that it was going to be all right. When it came to court, filing all the right documents, getting evidence in on time, and being prepared for trial I give her a 5star review. But what means more to me than any of that was having a lawyer on my side that gave me all the confidence I needed to fight for my daughter. Someone who not only believed in me, but who made this fight so much easier. Also, I had 19 people with me on this day and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM were ALL amazed by her. They all wanted her cards and I’m sure after watching her in action she will have a lot more clients. If your looking for a lawyer to not only do her job, but give you the confidence you need at an emotional time in your life she is it! I’m beyond grateful to have had Michaela represent me and fight as hard as she did for my beautiful daughter!

Ughh, what a nightmare my life could have become, if I had not been fortunate enough to find Attorney Dakota Martin. I was wrongfully accused by the state for a crime I did not commit. Attorney Martin was beyond dedicated to ensuring I was not steamrolled by the state by clearly explaining the situation and tirelessly working to expedite a positive outcome in my case. For a process that can normally take 6 months to a year to complete, Dakota had my case dismissed in just 4 months. He went so far as to delay the start of his family vacation so my case could be dismissed that much sooner. That is dedication and I just wanted to say “Thank you, Dakota.”

Marissa came highly recommended, and exceeded all expectations. She is professional, hard-working and an extremely talented lawyer. She developed a plan of action for my case, clearly explained the issues, my options and her recommended course of action, and then executed the plan. The result was actually better than we would have hoped for. She knows the court system, DAs and judges in her area, and has great relationships with them. She is also very reasonably priced, and was flexible in terms of structuring her fees. I cannot recommend her services strongly enough.

I was initially quoted $5,000 for a motor vehicle offense in New York. And, I was happy to pay the attorney fees for the firm to handle my case. This firm is truly honest and transparent. They took the time to review my situation, called the courts on my behalf, and even explained how I could proceed without an attorney to save money on a minor matter like this. It's reassuring to know that when you need legal help, there are still firms like this that prioritize their clients' best interests. It restored my trust in the system.

Kayla Weaton did an exceptional job representing me in my case. She was able to successfully request the district attorney to dismiss all charges and motioned to seal the record within six months. Kayla promptly replied to emails and phone calls with reassuring information. She was honest with all possible outcomes of the case but was very positive minded throughout the process. It was a great decision hiring Kayla Weaton. She proved to be a fantastic advocate and lawyer to myself and my family.

Kayla did a great job representing me at a virtual Court Magistrate hearing. I had originally called another highly rated attorney, but they blew off our meeting so and I found and called Kayla and was immediately impressed with our conversation. She put me at ease during a very stressful situation, and went through everything very clearly so that I felt knowledgeable and comfortable about the next steps. Needless to say I hired her after one conversation. Kayla was not only knowledgeable but prompt, caring, and was able to successfully resolve my situation.

Every one claims their lawyer, just like their hairdresser is the best whethjer or not they got the best results. I have known Thomas Mccusker and his brother James...also an attorney for thirty years and they were both able to help me out of unfortunate circumstances with excellent results. I was once faulsely accused of committing "domestic violence" back in the days when this was a very hot issue in our nation's media and men were bieng locked up on the most flimsy evidence imaginable as I was...and even though we had IMO a hostile DA, brother James easily managed from a jury of my peers a verdict of "Not Guilty," Another time, I was foolish enough to be involved in a much more serious situation and was indicted by a Federal Grand Jury...this time Thomas took the reins and managed "probation" on charges that could have brought me 15 years. I then went on to a rehab program and changed my life for the better. Thomas Knows his way around the court room. He is greeted on a first name basis by court officials and he is very well liked and respected and hje works hard to get you a good decision on the case..he doesnt just take a plea bargan without significant reduction in charges because he is confident in his ability to have the case resolved and prosecutors know this because Thomas is known to be a very articulate man in presenting a defence.. If you need an attorney...unless we can bring back Johnny Cocran...youi can't do much better than Thomas Mccusker. The Mccusker brothers are the best I have ever delt with by far...do yourself a favor and get the best...

I had a very positive experience working with Atty Ryder and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for family law representation. She is professional, caring and will truly go to bat for her clients. I first contacted Kathleen when I received notice for a court date that was quickly approaching. She was able to see me right away and took the time to listen to my situation and come up with an effective strategy to make the process as quick and seamless as possible. This was my first experience hiring an attorney and I felt that she really cared about me and wanted the best for me and my son. I am grateful that she was so accommodating and was very pleased with the outcome of her services. If you need a great attorney she's the person to call!

At first glance Goodhines looked like the perfect attorney. Well groomed, well spoken, and said everything I wanted to hear. After that first time and after we all agreed that no money was owed he told me call me in a week so you can come down to my office and we'll put together a solid defense (sounds good to me).. I called a week later, left a message and nothing, no response. Did the same thing twice or 3 times a week for the next 3 months. I only received ONE CALL BACK FROM MR.GOODHINES AND IT WAS TO INSULT ME AND TELL ME HE DOESNT APPRECIATE ME GOING AROUND COMPLAINING ABOUT HIM! This only happened after I went to court clerk's office and asked if he had a new number by any chance because I couldn't seem to reach him. Clerks office sent him an email saying I (his client) couldn't get ahold of him. He went on to call me a liar without knowing that I expected this to happen therefore recorded and kept record of every call and message. When he saw that I really in fact did that he toned it down and told me it was all a misunderstanding from both parts which it wasn't but ok. He asked for another 3 months continuence on my court date only to do the same thing all over again.... I went to court yesterday and he wasn't there. No call, no show on a date that he specifically chose. The clerk magestrate got ahold of him after hours of texting and me explaining to the judge I couldn't get intouch with him, only to to receive a TEXT! FROM GOODHINES ASKING FOR ME TO GET ANOTHER ATTORNEY!! I GUESS HE TOOK THAT AS A SECOND COMPLAINT FROM MY PART AND LIKE I HE WARNED ME HE DIDNT APPRECIATE THAT!!.... 100% EXACTLY HOW IT WENT. THERE WAS NEVER A FALL OUT, A MISUNDERSTANDING. SOME PEOPLE SIMPLY DONT WORK WELL TOGETHER BUT EVEN THAT WASN'T THE CASE. HE JUST GOT PAID AND NEVER ANSWERED AGAIN!!

This lawyer is currently my court appointed attorney. The first few times we met, without him looking into the evidence, he recommended a guily/insanity plea. After my own legal research, I discovered false evidence in my case. After presenting him prosecutorial misconduct, he has refused to promptly address the court of prosecutorial misconduct. I am currently incarcerated and he has ignored all communications and noshowed two times. I am now forced to have to pay for a lawyer who will actually fight for me. He's creating a HUGE conflict of interest. I feel like because he is court appointed and I did not pay for him, his representation is poor. As soon as I can, I'm reporting him to the BBO.

Mr. Griffis was quite knowledgeable about the pertinent laws and legal precedents, and he was able to help me navigate the complex administrative rules. Ultimately, his counsel resulted in an outcome that was generally favorable. Mr. Griffis was also accommodating with regards to legal fees. I would certainly recommend Mr. Griffis to another student facing an academic discipline issue.

Ben was available and at our service every single time we called for him and was amazing representation for us at every single court date.

Benjamin Brooks worked with my family on an issue involving my daughter. He was extremely helpful from our initial phone conversation through representing my daughter at a college hearing. Mr. Brooks, at first, tried to help move a stalled process along in an expeditious manner through repeated contact with officials and with a minimal cost to us. When it became clear that more legal representation was necessary and with very little advance notice, Mr. Brooks agreed to represent my daughter at a formal hearing and provided us with a thorough overview and advance preparation. Due to the fact that my daughter has a disability, Mr. Brooks also worked with officials to make an exception that allowed my husband and me to participate at the hearing, greatly reducing my daughter’s stress level. Mr. Brooks made what could have been a stressful hearing easy to manage, and the issue was resolved quickly with the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Attorney Benjamin Brooks.

I'm writing in appreciation for the excellent legal services I received from Attorney Ben Brooks of Good Schneider Cormier and Fried in Boston. Ben was effective, considerate, and most of all efficacious in his work for me. One case involved eviction, and another a more felonious charge. In both cases he expedited solutions involving the least possible ongoing complication, with good results in both cases. With what I have come to think of as a characteristic style, Ben not only provided excellent legal service but also calmed me down by the way he talked about these matters. In the past I have experienced the same kind of high-quality professional services with Ben's firm, Good, Schneider, Cormier & Fried. I consider Ben not only a highly-skilled individual attorney, but also working in a judicious and level-headed way that seems to be the hallmark of the entire GSCF firm.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
