Mr Singer exceeded all of my expectations as a client. I was particularly impressed with his response time to questions and thoroughness in following through with necessary steps and procedures. He proved to be knowledgeable, experienced, and well-connected within the legal circles of WNY. I give myunqualified endorsement for Mr Singer serving myself or any other clients in the future. Contacting Mr Singer with my legal needs was the best decision I could’ve made; it led to a positive and ideal outcome for my situation. Thank you, Mr Singer.

This lawyer works hard for his /her clients in the goal of winning the case. He doesn't put money first like other lawyers I met before .His cost is negotiable and affordable. Helped to win my CPS case and early Probation release. I would recommend anyone who is struggling with some cases to reachout to him before contacting with others .

Mr Brill is highly professional, empathetic, fast resolving case attorney that meets your needs . I was very satisfied with his service in a time when I most needed it he was comforting, assuring and eased my concerns on the process of my legal battles. He's very informative and kept me up to date on the progress I highly recommend and trust his expertise. Even after years of having used his services he was willing to help me out recently on obtaining some court documents I needed since I'm now out of state he agreed without hesitation when I go back to visit New York I'll be stopping by to thank him personally.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Ms. Nicole Walker regarding a probate estate matter, and I cannot recommend her enough! She was incredibly kind and patient, taking the time to thoroughly explain all of my options in a way that was easy to understand.
What truly stood out to me was her genuine compassion and professionalism. Navigating legal matters, especially something as complex as probate, can be overwhelming, but Ms. Walker made the process feel manageable and less intimidating. She was attentive to my concerns and ensured I felt heard every step of the way.
If you're looking for an attorney who is knowledgeable, approachable, and truly cares about her clients, Ms. Walker is an excellent choice. I’m so grateful for her guidance and support!

One of the best decisions I made was to ask for Tilem & Associates to help me with my 6 point speeding ticket, they got it reduced to a zero point parking ticket. Very respectful and so helpful! Without their help my insurance definitely would have gone up a lot, so I can’t thank them enough!

Having worked with Varghese & Associates since its formation almost 15 years ago, we have interfaced with a number of the Firm's clients, including giving testimony. The message is consistent and clear. Varghese & Associates provides the best criminal defense possible, regardless of the circumstances. Vinoo Varghese's prior experience in the District Attorney's office enables him to have a unique perspective on what is required to make sure their clients prevail.

I retained Moore Kuehn for a shareholder derivative case after my company stock lost substantial value.

Horrible lawyer! Worst one I've ever worked with. I had a closing and he showed up an hour late to the closing. Everyone had to wait for him, in the end to save time the title company guy walked me through the papers because he was the only one who wasn't there. Then afterwards, the deed was sent to him and I called the office multiple times to get in contact with him since I wanted my deed to my apartment (i never even got a copy from him). I left multiple messages and never got a call back, I emailed multiple times and never got an email back. I still don't have my deed, so if you read this review Peter, I would like my deed sent to me promptly.

I am taking this opportunity to thank Edward Sapone who is representing my son’s case. When I contacted Mr. Sapone for the first time, stressed and scared, I immediately felt this is the lawyer I’d trust my son’s life. Since then, I am sincerely thankful to Edward for his professionalism and experience, compassion and understanding. He has a big heart supporting me as a single mother, generous and kind person who I trust the dearest thing in my life, my son. Edward Sapone is very knowledgeable who has unique thinking and will lead you the best option available. My prayers go out to Edward and his family, let God bless this wonderful attorney who is doing miracles for his clients.

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional legal representation provided by Togut, Segal & Segal LLP during our recent custody case with Celsius Network.
Bryan M. Kotliar and Kyle Ortiz, the lawyers overseeing our case, demonstrated utmost professionalism and dedication. Their strategic approach and effective communication, including numerous Zoom meetings and timely update emails, greatly contributed to the successful resolution of our case. I especially appreciate their willingness to address unique issues by accepting individual phone consultations.
The court's decision in favor of our case and the subsequent award of our custody assets have brought considerable relief. Despite the financial challenges associated with the bankruptcy process, the support and expertise provided by Togut, Segal & Segal LLP significantly eased the burden.
I couldn't be happier with the level of service and communication throughout this challenging period. Please extend my gratitude to Bryan M. Kotliar and Kyle Ortiz for their outstanding efforts.

Another lawyer recommended that I contact John on behalf of my brother who had a few criminal charges against him and a pending bench warrant. The alleged charges against my brother were not ones that would be easily reduced or dismissed, so I did not hold out much hope for a great outcome. John is a straight forward, honest lawyer. He told my brother what he needed to do throughout the court appearances. No frivolity and false promises with John. He just gets right to work and knows what he is doing with all his years of experience. Much to my surprise, only 6 months later all of my brother's charges were dismissed!! A blessing! Don't even think twice about hiring this wonderful lawyer!

I recently found myself facing a DUI charge and was feeling completely lost. John Loturco was recommended to me, and I'm so grateful for that referral. From our very first meeting, he put me at ease. He explained everything clearly, advised me on the best course of action, and was always willing tomake time to answer my questions and address my concerns. John worked on my case thoroughly and negotiated fair terms for my trial. He made sure I understood every step of the process and what to expect. I highly recommend John Loturco to anyone needing legal representation. He's a skilled attorney who truly cares about his clients

I hired Mr. Loturco when I was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor assault earlier this year. I had gotten into a fight at a hockey game with a man and he had decided to press chargers. He sustained injuries and I was facing 3 years probation along with payment of medical bills. Mr. Loturco assured me he would do everything he could to pursue the best possible outcome. After multiple court dates and a long trial, he got me the best possible outcome. I was found not guilty.
Mr. LoTurco’s incredible hard work and dedication to his craft made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire process. He updated me frequently on the status of my case and always kept me in the loop. He is extremely compassionate and genuinely cares about his clients.
I am extremely happy with everything that Mr. LoTurco did for me and am so glad I chose him as my lawyer to get me through this difficult time. I would highly recommend Mr. LoTurco to anyone facing similar circumstances.

I found myself in the most difficult situation of my life, and John came to my rescue. He was direct, honest, supportive, and incredibly competent. He shared with me exactly how the process would go, and he was correct at every step. He was a calming influence despite the difficult situation I hadput myself in.
John got the best possible outcome for me from a legal perspective, and he did so with incredible empathy and compassion.
I will never forgot the first time I met John. He told me that as dark as things looked, it might be the best possible thing to happen to me for my life going forward. He was correct.

George is a very dedicating that will do all his best to put you at the most favor condition as possible. When I had a couple of condition give in probation rules. There are couple of rules that he would like to get rid of for my sake as he knows I would be reliable to do no such things harmful. This was my first time getting into this area of criminal. My head was expecting nothing. I'm totally clueless about myself, what do I do, what I have to do or what do i need to do. For all my life I have been living good, I never thought I would be in such scenario like I did today. Thanks to George, he really takes your times to give you a lot of insight and did his best make the best result out of your case. He is very patience and communicate. I would strongly recommend to have him help your case. 100% for sure he will do all the best he can to make sure you are in a good place. I'm very grateful that he is my attorney and help me in my case. Thank you very much for being my lawyer.

Navigating a divorce is never easy, but Todd Spodek and his team especially Claire Lou made the process far less overwhelming. They took the time to listen to my concerns, explain my options clearly, and always kept my best interests in mind. Their responsiveness and ability to provide practical, well-thought-out advice made a difficult time much more manageable.
Thanks to their expertise and dedication, I felt confident and supported every step of the way. I’m incredibly grateful for their help and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of an exceptional divorce attorney.

I am very pleased with the service, expertise, and professionalism from the team at Benedict Law Group, during a recent legal dispute with a NYC company. Brendan identified the issues and took the necessary steps to ensure the contractual breaches committed by a NYC, 3PL company stopped. Benedict Law Group worked tirelessly to hold the perpetrators accountable and ensured that the letter of the law was executed. He immediately identified overcharges, violations in the contract, fraudulent misrepresentation, illegal seizure of property, malice, and contempt towards my business. He quickly performed/filed the exact legal necessities to force them to comply with the law. I am grateful that Brendan was there to put a halt to the pain, suffering, and monetary destruction that company tried to inflict. I would hire them to represent me and highly recommend them for your legal needs.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support and dedication my attorney Matt and his team provided after my car accident last year. He went above and beyond, even visiting my girlfriend and me at the hospital shortly after the accident. From the very beginning, he made himself available 24/7, answering all my questions and guiding me through the process during one of the most challenging times in my life.
His team ensured that the insurance companies covered my surgery, physical therapy, and my girlfriend’s hospital bills. They even secured payment for my son’s early birth, which was caused by the accident. Knowing they handled everything so thoroughly gave me peace of mind and allowed me to focus on recovery and my family.
I will forever be grateful for their kindness, professionalism, and relentless effort to help us. If anyone is facing a similar situation, I hope this review leads them to the same amazing support I received. Thank you again for everything you’ve done for my family and me.

I cannot thank Matt and his team enough for the incredible care and support they provided after my car accident in June of last year. I was eight months pregnant at the time, pretty banged up in the hospital connected to fetal monitors. Matt went above and beyond by coming to see me in person to ensure I felt supported during such a difficult time.
Not only did he handle every detail of my case with skill and professionalism, but he also made sure my boyfriend and I were informed and at ease every step of the way.
I also want to give a special thank you to Yaniris, who worked tirelessly to ensure my medical bills were billed correctly after the hospital started wrongfully charging me. Her dedication and kindness made such a stressful situation so much more manageable.
This team truly cares about their clients, and it shows in everything they do. I am forever grateful for their help and highly recommend them to anyone in need of a compassionate and effective legal counsel.

I found Peter J. Schaffer online and decided to work with him after reading reviews. Peter J. Schaffer is the lawyer who provide the great defense strategy. Despite the fact that my case was pure fabricated it still allowed the prosecutor to press charges and repeatedly offered to admit that I am "guilty". Peter believed in me and was able to dismiss charges. Another very important quality of Peter J. Schaffer is that he is always in touch and always responds to emails or text. I highly recommend Peter J. Schaffer to everyone who needs the trustful professional lawyer that practice in criminal cases.

We are incredibly grateful for James and his team for the exceptional service and care they provided during my husband's federal case. James is not only a skilled and dedicated attorney, but he also genuinely cares about his clients. From the very beginning, he treated us like family, offering guidance, support, and a level of expertise that gave us confidence throughout the entire process.
James went above and beyond to ensure that my husband received the best possible outcome. His attention to detail and commitment to fighting for his clients is truly appreciated. We couldn't have asked for a better attorney.
Emma, his assistant, was also wonderful. She was always there for us, answering our questions promptly and making sure we were informed every step of the way. Her kindness and professionalism made the experience so much easier to navigate.
If you're looking for an attorney who not only knows the law but also genuinely cares about his clients, we highly recommend James. He’s an outstanding professional and an even more outstanding person. We are so thankful for all that he and Emma did for us!

After hiring over a dozen criminal lawyers, and losing not only my liberty, but every court motion and court filing that they presented, I hired James Kousouros. He calmly reviewed all of my court filings and gave me my first victory. He won for me a huge victory in the appeals court and convinced the government to drop all charges against me. If you are faced with criminal prosecution and need an attorney, THERE IS NO BETTER MAN FOR THE JOB THAN JAMES KOUSOUROS. I am a free man today because of his efforts to help me when all was lost.

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.
