I wanted to take the time in this 2025 year about my past experience with Albert Quirantes. From the beginning attorney Quirantes will listen and best help you understand the situation you are encountering. Attorney Quirantes has a great team of paralegals and they stay on top of your case. This is a hard working attorney who tries to find any possible way of getting to the resolution and I am glad to be able to write a positive review because it is very well earned. For those who are skeptical about this attorney, do not judge a book by its cover. Attorney Quirantes has empathy, appreciation and respect for all that walk in to his office that seek help no matter your circumstances. This attorney is very respectful and actually charges a reasonable price for the effort he puts in to handle your case without breaking your wallet, which I find as a way he tries to give back in helping those who are not rich and do not have deep pockets. I appreciate the help he tries to give to those who work hard for pennies in hourly low wage jobs. Attorney Quirantes has earned a positive review from me.

I am writing to express my gratitude for your support during a very challenging time in my life. Thanks to your knowledge and dedication, I am able to stay with my family and continue living my life outside of jail. Your commitment to my case, your strategic thinking, and your ability to navigate the complexities of the legal system were truly remarkable. You’re not only an amazing attorney but also an amazing person you offered reassurance and hope when mandy and I needed it most. Your hard work and determination have made an impact on my life, and for that, I am forever grateful. Thank you for EVERYTHING you have done for my family. Words can’t describe the impact you have had on my life. The amount of work you put in behind the scenes did not go unnoticed. Some clients may say the outcome is going to be the outcome no matter what but I disagree completely. My outcome was a direct reflection of you and I am so thankful to have had you as my attorney. Joe Nascimento is a name that will never be forgotten and forever be known as the man who saved my family.

Joe represented me in a sexual battery case. I lost almost everything due to the allegation, and I was facing a lot of years. But as a result of his hard work and dedication, I didn’t lose my freedom. There’s no doubt he’s a skilled attorney (his knowledge of the law is unrivaled, and his even demeanor is so reassuring for the jury), but where Joe really shined is his treatment of the client/defendant. He made me feel like a human being, when the entire system felt designed to take away my humanity. I don’t think I could have made it without him by my side for those 2 difficult years. Thank you Joe, from the bottom of my heart.

Prya is the best lawyer you could ever ask for she has held my hand for the last few years and got me the best outcome in my case! I got off with a slap on the wrist and got my probation terminated early ! THATS WHAT U CALL A LAWYER !!!!!! Love Prya she is a sweetheart and I would recommend her to any friends or family . She wants the best for her clients and I just can’t imagine my life if I didn’t have her. When I got locked up she helped me immensely!!!! From beginning to the end she was more then just a lawyer she was a super women literally saving me. If it wasn’t for Prya I would probably be in some jail in Florida right now honestly. But I’m a free women now and if you think about choosing Prya to hire you don’t think twice about it !!! She is the ONE. God didn’t play when it came to Prya !!! Love ya girl thank u I can’t thank u enough I’m the happiest girl in the world and I won’t let you down !you believed in me!

We could always trust his advice. He has also been service oriented to us. He always updated us on time about the developments of the case. He also answers all questions or ambiguities about the case and explains them if necessary. We also had a good cooperation, which meant that the evidence could also be sent on time. Because of his dedication, expertise, experience and hard work, he won the case. Strongly recommended for others too.

My family has an ongoing contract with Mr. Donnelly to represent my father in his criminal case. He always communicates in a timely manner and is clear with respect to his defense strategy. Even when the probable outcomes are not what we want to hear, Mr. Donnelly does a great job in communicating all options and his advice. I am 100% sure that he produces the best outcomes—on a case by case basis depending on the circumstances. He is reliable, knows criminal law well, and is definitely an attorney you want representing you or a family member criminal matters. But don’t get in trouble so you don’t have to call Mr. Donnelly. However, if you do get in trouble, call him!

Attorney P.J. Mitchell did an excellent job defending me of fraud charges. He reduced the original 17 charges down to 4 by fighting very hard. He entered a plea for amending the last 4 charges and it was acceptable to the prosecutor. Thanks to him I was spared to serve a long sentence. If you don't call P.J. Mitchell, he has vast experience, you may put your freedom in jeopardy. Best defense attorney ever.

It’s important which attorney you pick, because even their name could make a difference. In my case, I did not get any formal charges filed at the arraignment, and case was dismissed. He had a great legal strategy and did a great job. His legal staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. But I truly believe the mere fact that I had him as an attorney was the deciding factor in dropping my charges, why bother moving when you know you have a hard hitter working with you?

Chad Piotrowski - Courtroom Jedi Master Searching for a good attorney is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Finding one as capable and ambitious as Chad Piotrowski is like finding a unicorn. He's represented me excellently several times in criminal court. Somehow he managed to get 2 failure to appear warrants dismissed without me even having to appear... The times that I have been present to see him in action have shown me that he's more than merely a great lawyer. Bending prosecutors to his will is impressive... But bending gavels with his mind, he's more like a Courtroom Jedi Master. If you're a defendant in criminal court, the odds are against you. Let Chad be the secret weapon that tips the scales of justice in your favor.

Her knowledge of the laws, rules, and regulations, along with her persistence and professionalism, won my case!!! This is a very complex case, as dealing with the Federal Government and security clearance never has a positive outcome. But Kristy did it and my name is clear!!

We hired Paul and his stellar team for my husband's case - felony assault and violation of probation. The public defender said the best we could get was 5 years. Paul got him 366 days time served and 3 years probation. The day of the trial he got the 3 years converted to 3 years with early termination at 1.5 years for good behavior. We couldn't be happier with the results of this case that had extremely condemning evidence. Paul will be very straight up with you about your options and fight your case like it's his own family.

Ron was dedicated to my ex-husband's violent crime case. He was looking at 38 years in federal prison but because of all the work that went into researching PTSD and how it affected my ex-husband the father of my children received 5 years of prison and will hopefully be home in 3 years. Words cannot expressed the gratitude that my children and family feel for the work that was done to defend him. Ron was professional, passionate, very knowledgeable and dedicated to this case and saw my ex-husband as a person and not just a paying client that he was billing. He knew all the laws and was well prepared for his court appearances. Ron kept the whole family informed on any updates regarding the case or court dates. He went the extra mile to make sure all of our requests were met even if they were not directly related to the case. I would recommend his services to anyone I know as you will get more than just a good lawyer you will get someone who will fight for you and get you the best results than you can ever wish for.

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

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

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.
