I was referred to Jason through a friend of mine and he did not disappoint. He is extremely personable and helpful, and he fought for me every step of the way. I can’t thank him enough and I would recommend him to anyone if you ever need an attorney.

I needed a dui lawyer, so my friend recommened Jay. He was very helpful and informative throughout the whole process. He did all the heavy work, while I just had to follow the steps he laid out to me. Highly recommend for those who want a trustworthy lawyer who will do the job right

20 Aug, 2024 by Joe g.

Our family has retained Jason on several occasions. His consultations are perfect. His court room presentations are highly professional. I would recommend attorney Mattioli for any legal matter to anyone at any time.

John recently handled a legal matter for daughter. He was kind, attentive, and supportive in guiding us through the process. I could tell he was respected in the court room. He helped her achieve a positive outcome and I would recommend John to anyone seeking legal assistance.

Hands down the best lawyer around. We used savino for a case with pretty severe charges and walked out of the first court hearing dismissed… actually there hasnt been a time ive seen savino in the court room and the case wasnt dismissed. The level of respect he receives when he walks in a court room is insane. on top of the beast he is in the courtroom he is just as amazing out, he is very quick to respond and although he is a busy man he somehow manages to get back to us within minutes. I could say a million good things about this guy, if you are looking for a great lawyer i 10000/10 recommend and i couldnt thank him enough for what he did for us.

Navigating the legal process can be one of the most challenging and emotionally taxing experiences, but Justin Capek has truly gone above and beyond to provide exceptional support and guidance. He initially helped me through a tumultuous situation in New Jersey involving my ex, offering not only expert legal assistance but also a sense of safety and reassurance during a very difficult time. Now, as I’ve relocated to Arizona, Justin has continued to be a reliable resource, assisting me with new challenges and always being available to answer my questions. Trust is everything when you’re putting your life and business into someone else’s hands, and I can confidently say that I trust him wholeheartedly. His dedication to making me feel comfortable, safe, and well taken care of has been unparalleled. I truly believe he has my best interests at heart, and his professionalism and care have set the bar incredibly high. If you’re looking for a lawyer who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and committed, Justin Capek is the best choice.

Robert came in and fought a corrupt police department, obtained me an absolute acquittal and stayed with me the entire time. He was extremely effective at trial and I thought I stumbled into a movie...like a John Grisham novel...but real. Absolutely the best lawyer I ever had.

18 Apr, 2024 by Blake meyer

Hands down Robert Kirwin is a beast. I had a case in Pennsylvania a few years back and he was one of the only lawyers I had my full confidence in when going to trial. He encouraged me to fight with him and he absolutely performed above my expectations. I'm truly grateful I reached out to him.

08 Jan, 2024 by Matt

Mr. Kirwan was empathetic understanding and stood firm with his word from the moment we first spoke. A true gentleman and scholar who is not afraid to stand in your corner and fight for your freedom. I had very serious charges maliciously brought against me by the PSP and Schuylkill county District attorneys office. Mr. Kirwan stormed right in, fought for me and cleared the path for my family to be reunited after the three of us were threatened by a state trooper and torn apart for 17 months straight. Attorney Kirwan leaves no stone unturned. All around great guy! Thank you kindly sir, for your diligence and for sticking to your word. I wish I had discovered your firm from the start!

Zafran Firm is willing to give clarity when it comes to legal jargon, percentages on your behalf as well as the lawyer's, and build your case efficiently with a body of paperwork and more.

Andrew listened carefully, was always available by text, and kept us focused on an achievable outcome in a difficult family dispute. He was personable, punctual, respected in the court system, a genius at negotiation, and had a mastery of the theory and practicality of the law. He was well worth hisfee.

Some of the Attorneys in this law firm are con artists. Trying hard to make my friends give up their property to their client’s that has no legal right. I have never ever seen unprofessional attorneys in my life. I don’t know how many clients they have conned. They shouldn’t be allowed to practice in the US, they are rogue attorneys. I have been privileged enough to read the communications between them and my friends and I couldn’t believe my eyes. How do people like this get away with such blatant disregard of the law.

27 Sep, 2024 by Mike

Brian was an absolute pleasure to have represent me during my journey through the judicial system. He is very knowledgeable and well respected in the field. The best part about hiring Brian is he is straight forward and honest with his clients. He means business and will help guide you through your own journey

17 May, 2024 by Kevin

I found Mr Perry through a friend who is an attorney himself. My attorney friend did not know Mr Perry personally, but told me that he had an exemplary reputation as a litigator among other attorneys. My friend advised me that if I was looking for the best criminal defense attorney in the area that I should strongly consider Brian Perry. I took his advice and hired Brian for my case. From the start I was impressed with him. Our initial meeting was casual yet down to business, I felt like Brian was on my side and was going to fight for me through this process. He was a straight shooter who immediately went to work looking at different avenues that we could use to fight this. I really appreciated that he had a set price for each stage of the process, rather than charging by the hour. I had previously used an attorney who was hourly, and I was afraid to email, text, or call him because I knew that was going to result in a charge. With Brian I knew what each phase was going to cost, and I didn't have to worry about some question that I had costing me $300. I also really appreciate it that I knew what the general cost we're going to be up front depending on how things went with the case. It was a weight off my mind knowing what I was looking at as far as cost rather than it being some open book where at the end I get a surprise bill. Throughout the process Brian was available via text to me when I had questions that came up. His assistant Kara was extremely responsive, always getting back to me within an hour. I really cannot say enough about the guidance that they provided through this difficult time. I hope to never need their services again, but if I ever find myself needing an attorney, I will be sure to hire Brian Perry again.

Glad to have them in my corner. Thank God for them. Fair and just. And make things happen. Also Ms. tracy is very efficient and keeps everything tight. I appreciate the expansion into the county as well for less travel into the city.

During my tenure as a graduate student, I found myself navigating various life priorities when I encountered a major car injury. Amidst juggling academic commitments and personal responsibilities, the injuries sustained required extensive follow-up, further complicating an already challenging situation. Neither I nor the individual who collided with me were residents of Pennsylvania, adding layers of complexity to the case. I had the pleasure of working closely with Oliva and Kimberely at the time, but the entire staff has been helpful. The attorneys at this firm demonstrated exceptional prowess in securing resources from other states to support my case. Their efforts resulted in a higher insurance payout for my car, which was pivotal given the gravity of the incident. Throughout this tumultuous period, their approachable demeanor and clear communication were indispensable. They understood the urgency of my situation and made every effort to expedite the case. Navigating through the aftermath of the accident, including managing injuries, finding a new car, and handling legal proceedings, felt overwhelming at times. However, the attorneys provided unwavering support, guiding me through each step with professionalism and empathy. While the timeline extended beyond expectations, their steadfast commitment never faltered. I am profoundly grateful for their assistance during one of the most challenging periods of my life and wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone facing similar circumstances. My heartfelt thanks to the entire team for their exceptional work and unwavering support.

Our experience with Adam Wolfe and his staff at Shollenberger, Januzzi, and Wolfe was phenomenal. My husband's motorcycle accident was just one of many issues our family has been dealing with these past several years. Knowing that Adam and his team were handling our case gave us peace of mind in an otherwise turbulent period. Their knowledge, professionalism, and communication are top notch!

I have recommended him to others and they were pleased as well. Don't gamble with your or your loved ones life. Get the best so you get the best results.

He was very patient to all our questions and put us at ease when we were very scared and flustered. Daniel was always straight forward and never gave us false hopes. If there was something to be concerned about, he would let us know and told us what needed to be done. He worked hard tirelessly to win our case, and he did win the case. We are so grateful to Daniel Pell and we highly recommend him to anyone seeking an Immigration Lawyer who will fight for you at all cost and not leave you struggling to figure things out on your own. He is a great lawyer with a kind heart and loves what he does.

If you are a nurse/nursing student with any kind of legal issue at all you need to call this man. Not only did I get my nursing license before some of my peers, its unrestricted and I did not have to enter into any monitoring program. We had an initial consultation on a Saturday morning over the phone and he explained exactly what was going to happen and what I had to do. I'm not sure if Rich ever sleeps, he was sending emails to the board for me at 5 in the morning. He texts back almost immediately and makes himself available to take calls anytime. I would have lost the job I had lined up and my career would have been significantly impacted had I not hired Rich. I can't thank him and Jessica enough.

10 Jul, 2024 by Anonymous

After getting into some legal trouble - the nursing board wanted to suspend my license. I reached out to Rich immediately the day of and he held my hand through the whole process. Rich was always responsive the same day usually within 2 hours or less. Communication is everything and I never felt I was left hanging for answers. I felt supported through the whole process. With Rich's leadership, I am happy to say I have my license today. I could not have done it without him.

It’s a call no parent EVER wants to make. My oldest son was involved in a situation where I was in need of a professional, known AND knowledgeable voice to speak on his behalf. He was looking at charges that would have taken -20/40 years of his young life HAD I NOT MADE THE CALL TO ELLIS!!! Ellis took on my son’s case with confidence and DID. NOT. BACK. DOWN! He FAR EXCEEDED the outcome expected and as a mother, I was able to exhale! I needed Mr. Palividas on a second, separate occasion recently for a matter involving FBI. He showed up PROMPTLY to address the agents/concern at hand and the outcome needed nothing more than ONLY A PHONE CALL TO HIM!!!! He handled the matter so quick and with such class. Ellis is stored in my phone as MY LAWYER & I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND him without hesitation.

Recently worked with Kim on a lease for my business. She was phenomenal to work with in every facet. Will definitely be using again.

23 Dec, 2024 by Nicola daniel

Kim advised me on a lease dispute I had with Lumina, the unscrupulous dorm management company at Duquesne University, and declined to accept payment for her time. She was generous with her expertise and pointed me in the right direction. It took six months, but the dispute was successfully resolved in our favor. Thank you, Kim! Word of advice to parents with students enrolled at Duquesne and living in dorms managed by Lumina. Parts of their leases at 100% unlawful they way they are written today, but that doesn't stop the management company from trying to extract payment out of you and being very nasty about it. It's a pity that a Catholic institution like Duquesne knowingly does business with Lumina.

Highly recommended. I got there name from a google search when I suddenly needed a lawyer. They had great reviews and responded immediately when I needed time-sensitive counsel with a family matter. Thomas McKinley is an excellent lawyer, very clear in his communications, reassuring and compassionate. Lawyers are always expensive but I found their rates reasonable. He was able to communicate directly with the DA and save me a lot of footwork and time, and was able to get the matter resolved without me having to deal with the court directly and provided great reassurance throughout. Well worth the money and I will call him first if I ever have any other needs

Exceptional Representation and Compassionate Care I am writing this review while my case is still ongoing, but I felt compelled to express my sincere gratitude for robert and ketchel law. From the very beginning, they have shown an incredible level of care and understanding. Robert has gone above and beyond to ensure my well-being and the well-being of my family. Thanks to their tireless efforts, I am able to focus on caring for my children instead of facing incarceration. I highly recommend ketchel law to anyone seeking sincere legal assistance. They treat their clients with respect and compassion, recognizing that each case involves a unique individual with unique circumstances. I am truly grateful for their dedication and expertise. And believe me, even if it seems impossible they can help and put you in a better position than you would have been otherwise.

Review for Marion and Team I cannot recommend Marion and their team highly enough! They handled my accident case from last year with such professionalism and care. They were always reachable, provided excellent guidance throughout the process, and made a stressful situation so much easier to manage. Their expertise and dedication were evident in every interaction, and I truly felt well taken care of. If you’re looking for a reliable and compassionate attorney, look no further.

I have been working with Joanne at Leeson & Leeson to settle my father's estate for the better part of this year. She is wonderful! She is quick to respond to my many questions. She is detail oriented and guides me through each step of what can be an overwhelming process. I so appreciate her demeanor, thoroughness and expertise in helping me and my siblings. Thank you Joanne and Leeson & Leeson.

Attorney Beth Tibbott has been an excellent resource to me over the years whenever I’ve had family divorce cases become intertwined with the work that I do. Her and her staff have always been incredibly responsive and knowledgeable. They have always afforded timely replies to any questions I’ve had or matters that I’ve had to refer to them.

They have gone above and beyond for my needs when I needed them the most. I had a very complex case where it all started from out of state and I needed a transfer move. I trusted my gut and I knew that I could trust my lively good with this law firm. My family has always been first even in a pinch-they right there for me. I would 100% recommend them and would keep them in my back pocket. They became family to me. A sincere thank you from the bottom of my heart to this amazing law firm including the receptionist team who was like family and always knew how to be so kind!

Spoke with Mark about a 302. Read comments and so far I’m not seeing the negatives. Off the bat he spoke to me better than any attorneys office has especially for a 302. Will come back to comment for update

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.

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.
