I got a traffic citation when traveling home from vacation. Cotten Law Firm handled my case for me so I didn’t have to travel 6 hours back to NC. Case was reduced to Improper Equipment. Could not have been more pleased! I called multiple times to check on things and was always greeted by a kind and helpful person on the other end of the phone. Highly recommend!

I was referred to Mr. Rawls on a situation that came up unexpectedly, and on short notice. I literally can't say enough about the care, skill, and passion he brought to my issue..
He was sensitive to the cost concerns, and was very fair. A passion was brought to the situation, he cared, and worked to get the situation resolved successfully.
I like working with smart, and experienced people (across the board in life). He definitely fits that bill. Great firm, worth retaining.

Frank Harper was a fantastic lawyer. He helped me front start to finish in my case. He supported me from day one and ensured that I was treated fairly. He responded quickly to all calls and answered all questions thoughtfully. I had never been in this situation before, and he helped me with all worries and confusion. I'm sure that we all look for a criminal lawyer during unfortunate times (regardless of the circumstances), and Frank treated me with dignity and respect. My circumstance was a bit complicated with unjust claims, and Frank handled it delicately and quickly. We received an amazing outcome. I highly recommend Frank Harper.

I was involved in my first DWI in the later years in my life. I needed professional help to navigate how the court system works. Mr. Nash and his wonderful paralegal Mrs. Weiss helped me with this case
I hired them from a person I had met and took a chance. I was wonderfully surprised. Mr. Nash was educated and helpful in his conduct. Mrs. Weiss was caring and helpful in her conduct. I kept in contact with Mrs. Weiss through the whole process. I am very happy with my outcome of the case and grateful I chose to be represented by such wonderful people in my months of uncertainty and anxiety. Thank you both.

When I got my first dwi, I didn’t know how bad it was about to be. I quickly started to look for the best attorney and Mr Keith Rouse caught my attention. After I sat down with Mr Rouse, I felt better knowing we would try and fight this.
After about 9 months, I walked out of the courtroom with a second chance. Mr. Rouse got my case reduced down to a careless and reckless and was able to keep my liscense. I can’t thank Mr. Rouse enough and would recommend him to anyone.

Keith was outstanding with our issue. He spent a lot of time discussing our issue and helping us solve the problem in a way that was best for us. We couldn't have been happier with the outcome.

I first met Keith Rouse when he became my lawyer in 2013 when i was facing numerous felony charges and i couldnt be more pleased with the outcome of my case. Keith Rouse is well respected in the courtroom by the judges, D.A's, and his defendants and believe me when i tell you that that is VERY IMPORTANT. He always has his whole heart in his cases and defends til the end no matter how long the case is in court. I never had any problems getting him on the phone, returning my calls, or meeting me to discuss my case or my concerns. There would be no other lawyer i would even consider defending me other than Kieth Rouse.

Hired Mr Saunders and from the very first meeting I knew that he was the one for the job. Mr Sanders made payment arrangements for me and made it very affordable. I have confidence that he is a pro in every aspect of his practice. My case is a criminal matter and real knowledgeable representation is what is demonstrated by Mr Sanders. His past performance in tons of cases showed that I have chosen the right man for the job. Misses Sanders is also a great help when visiting the office to make a payment or get an update. All I can say is they are an excellent legal team.

Words can't fully express my gratitude and appreciation for Mr Dylan Greenwood. I hired Dylan in 2018 for a DWI case. Dylan was ontop of my case and kept me well informed throughout the process. Dylan and his team worked very hard to have no negative impact or points on my license. He is a very respectable, knowledgeable and honest attorney, with experience handling DWI's and other criminal matters. I'm very happy I made the decision of choosing him. I would recommend him to anyone!

Kevin did an outstanding job with my case, he was great at communicating and explaining everything that was going to happen. He was always there when I needed him and alway returned my calls or emails in a timely manner. He will have your back and give you the best result in my opinion. When I was arrested my bond was outrageous but Kevin was able to get it SIGNIFICANTLY lowered. When Kevin get his hands on the “discovery” of the case he reviews it very closely and WILL find any discrepancies. It was truly a honor to have Kevin as my lawyer, it is because of him I am here to write this review as a free man. Thank you Kevin Marcilliat for all you have done!

I consulted with numerous lawyers concerning a scenario that was ongoing. I hired Bruce Mason after reading about his selection to Super Lawyers for several consecutive years, and meeting with him. My situation compares to being lost in the jungle only to find a lion who becomes my aegis. I no longer suffered from noctambulation or constant worry because Bruce Mason was superb. He is breviloquent and eloquent simultaneously and has substantive work ethic and integrity. He is also well respected by his peers, and I suspect his intellect far surpasses that of most lawyers. If you have something going on that is incredibly important to you, I suggest hiring him. He can handle difficult cases with ease. He certainly left me in a better place after winning my case, and the only thing I would change about him is not having been in the situation I was in to begin with to need someone like him. I wish the world had more people like him in it.

Last year, my son was charged with four offenses including DUI, Mr. Mason was recommended by a colleague who works in Wilmington and had experienced a similar issue. In our initial consultation, Mr. Mason engaged immediately, listened carefully, and made solid recommendations for moving forward. We experienced many twists and turns during the case, including pleadings during the pandemic. Mr. Mason's knowledge of NC statutes as well as his effective navigation of the New Hanover County court system gave us great confidence in his services. Throughout the process, he always returned my calls promptly, explained our legal options thoroughly, and offered excellent advice. His patience and approach ultimately resulted in dismissal of charges. Without reservation, I can recommend Mr. Mason's legal services.

I picked up William on a UBER ride and he was so cool ! He Loves practicing Law and was more then willing to advise me with my pressing Legal Questions.( I actually got a Free Consultation and ultimately a awesome Attorney out of that ride). I asked for a business card. I'm getting a Divorce and my Wife was Suing me so I contacted William and even though Family Law is not his preference he said sure he would help me.
The Case is currently active but I feel safe my interests are protected. William is that first Attorney I ever had that you can call up and he will answers and I'm like What's up Man ? Did you hear anything about my case. Then he will talk to you and here you out that's the difference with him. Tell him everything about you're case. Things you think might now matter may under the Law. If you're Hiring a Attorney to help you with YOUR case he's the best to work with. Be proactive and help him get all the information he needs to handle the Law end. He is Very confident and Smart as I remember him telling me he can handle and case , County , State , Federal , whatever he know exactly what to do. In my case as I helped him get all the Paperwork for my case he made positive Connections with everyone involved in my case. This Approach was Brilliant and their are all different types of Attorneys but William will tell you he takes on hard cases to figure out . Who does that ?
He did win Attorney of the Year . Ask him about it. Congratulations !

On November 30th, 2016, I was rear-ended by another vehicle, and that resulted in injuries to my back and neck. I contacted Attorney Vidunas and asked him to represent me in this case, and that was the best decision I ever made! I met with him to discuss this matter, and I was delighted with his professionalism and genuine interest! Mr. Vidunas is very knowledgeable in civil cases, he is very polite, understanding, and explained in details how we would proceed. While I was going through medical treatment, he demonstrated a genuine interest in my well-being by regularly calling me. After the treatment was completed and it was time to contact the insurance, he successfully negotiated the best settlement for me! Mr.Vidunas is very meticulous in what he does, and I like to thank him for his outstanding service! I would definitely recommend him for any and all civil cases! Thank you so much!!!

David not only represented us for traffic violation, he also kept our insurance from going up and handled due to an error by the clerk of court David took the time to drop what he was doing and run up to handle issues out of his control on our behalf. Most attorneys do the one job and then are done with you, not David! He went far beyond measures every time I called in order to get things done at a fraction of the cost mind you! He then followed up after each issue to be sure it was handle! I can't even say enough to thank him!

When someone in my family was charged with serious computer felonies I was terrified. I was even more afraid that the federal government would be taking the case and would be bringing federal charges that carried long mandatory minimum sentences. Mr. Jones took the time to get to know our family and to understand our issues. He was able to get the best available experts and worked tirelessly with the prosecutors. Because of his hard work and dedication, no federal charges were brought and Mr. Jones was able to convince the prosecutor to offer a plea to probation.

Cory came highly recommended to me. I'd heard that he was a near legend miracle worker in the courtroom (a repeated D.U.I case that might have ended up really bad, he made really right.) . But I"d never needed a D.U.I. fixed. However! Crazy things can happen when you least expect it--a police officer going through your purse and finding EXACTLY the wrong thing for instance. Thank heaven's there is someone like Cory to step up and saved me. he is so easy to talk to and fair in his charges. I would ay, you can;t do better in Asheville. Thanks so much, Cory.

Elliot worked tirelessly on a case for my family. Elliot organized disparate facts and thoughts into persuasive arguments and briefs with appropriate legal citations. When necessitated by pending deadlines, Elliot turned work out in short order, often returning documents late into the night. He was patient with my questions, open to input, and leveraged the resources of his firm as appropriate. Despite the long hours Elliot was investing in work products for our case, he took the time to keep me informed along the way. Through the efforts of Elliot and his firm, our matter was brought to a successful conclusion.

Elliot was part of a legal team which represented my sister in a recent Federal case. I was also indicted in the same case and frequently read Elliot's messages to my sister. It was obvious to me that Elliot was very dedicated to the case by the contents of his messages. I believe that he did most of the research and evidence gathering that eventually led to a dismissal for my sister. I would not hesitate to be represented by Elliot Abrams in any legal matter that may arise. He is dedicated, personable and very thorough.

Mr. Bolton not only had my charge dismissed, but was able to keep me from doing any jail time, which was completely expected in my situation. However, with a baby on the way-Cooper was able to get every detail of my case and present it to the DA and judge in a way that went 100% in our favor. He was beyond prepared on the day of court. He was ready to go to trial and prepared for hearing, which nobody else was ready for! So the case was handled that same day without a trail. I could not be more pleased with the way my attorney took care of my case, he was effective and beyond efficient in so many ways. He has helped my husband and I begin a new future and starting our family without the stress of jail, or any further financial problems that go along with court cases such as mine. I cannot recommend Cooper Bolton more as an attorney! You will not be disappointed. He is professional and thorough and we are so appreciative of his services, and the law firm as a whole.

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.
