I cannot express my gratitude enough to Darlena Crowder and her incredible team at the Crowder Law Firm. I was falsely accused of seven horrendous charges, and Darlena fought ferociously in the courtroom to ensure that the truth prevailed. Her dedication, expertise, and unwavering commitment to justice were evident in every step of the process. Thanks to her relentless efforts, I was acquitted of all charges. If you need a legal advocate who will fight for you with passion and tenacity, look no further than Darlena Crowder. She is simply the best!

David Finn is, without a doubt, the toughest and most knowledgeable attorney in Texas. I’ve known David for over 40 years, and his expertise has been invaluable to me, my family, and friends over the years. Recently, a close friend of mine needed his help with a serious criminal case. David’s unmatched experience, toughness, and deep understanding of the criminal justice system made all the difference. His background as a former prosecutor and federal judge, combined with his sharp skills as a defense attorney, sets him apart from anyone else in the legal field. David knows the ins and outs of the system like no one else, and he fights for his clients with a tenacity that is truly impressive. He’s worth every penny—and then some. If you need an attorney who can handle any situation with expertise, grit, and dedication, David Finn is the one. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer him to any of my family or close friends. He’s the best of the best.

We recently moved to Texas and needed to find a law firm to amend our trust and wills. My husband and I did extensive research to find the perfect law firm when we found Weeks Law Firm in Plano. We were spot-on in our choice. Our attorney, Jennifer Finch, is a perfect fit. She walked us through everything involving wills and special needs trusts with regards to Texas laws (which to "laypeople" can be daunting). Her professionalism and demeanor, I can not praise enough. We feel 100% covered. My husband and I highly recommend Jennifer Finch and Weeks Law Firm.

We were faced with an unthinkable set of circumstances that turned our life upside down. Our son who has special needs was unfairly arrested facing multiple charges. The police arrested our son against our will in our own home for domestic violence. They didn't care that he suffered from mental illness including severe Tourette's syndrome. I explained to the police about his mental illness and all they cared about was making an arrest. We explained to the police that our son had certain illnesses beyond his control and we did not want him unfairly arrested. It was about 2.00am and he was arrested, taken out of our own home and off to jail he went. I called family and friends for advice and help. We called several attorneys in the middle of the night but in our gut we were just not comfortable. We Googled and came across the Wilder Law Firm. After reading countless Google reviews we decided to call them. We met with Doug, Morgan, and Ronnie. They listened to us for what felt like hours. I watched them intently and they genuinely cared and listened. They didn't tell us what we wanted to hear; they told us the truth. They felt the police were wrong and they would fight until this was resolved. We knew right away that we were going to use them. Well after six months we received a call from Morgan that ALL charges were dropped. Doug, you and your team are amazing!! We as a family we have to give a special personal thank you to Morgan. Without her incredible guidance, hours spent, and knowledge of the law there is no way other than this review could we thank you enough!!! Simply put; the best Criminal Defense Lawyers in Dallas! Thank you, Marina & Blake

Wes & Anne are truly a blessing! 5 stars isn’t enough to describe this team! After having had switch lawyers due to my ex attorney sitting on my case for nearly 7 months doing absolutely nothing,I was at a standstill with a bad taste left over. Had a close friend recommend Wes,reached out to him that night & received a phone call at 8am that morning. When I say this guy is on it,I mean he is literally ON IT! After our first conversation,I instantly knew that Wes was an honest man…very,very hard to find in this industry! From the minute Wes & Anne took over,I felt WAY more relaxed & confident that they had my stuff all under control. With my ex attorney,I was constantly on edge,stressed,nervous…you name it. After having switched,my family quickly caught drift on my stress levels going down,as well as me being able to rest more due to worrying less all thanks to Wes & Anne working efficiently & effectively! These two are the most humble, hard working people I’ve had the pleasure of crossing paths with! Communication was NEVER an issue,the updates were constant,even when they were on their personal time! Wes talks to you like a friend,making it easy to tell him anything & everything without any judgment! This duo has your back & will fight for you WITHOUT A DOUBT!

I been through several lawyers before working with Brian Corrigan. The previous attorneys I consulted with not only failed to deliver on their promises, but I also felt like I was just another client to them. After dealing with that, I was hesitant to trust anyone again. But Brian completely changed my perspective. From the moment I met him, he was different. He took the time to listen to my situation thoroughly, explained everything in clear terms, and provided honest, realistic advice. I never felt like I was being taken advantage of, which had been my experience with others. Brian is not only highly knowledgeable and skilled, but he genuinely cares about getting the best outcome for his clients. His transparent communication, dedication, and commitment to my case were truly refreshing. If you’re looking for a lawyer who will actually fight for you, Brian Corrigan is the one you want.

Facing criminal charges was the most difficult trial my family and I have ever faced. Law enforcement and the judicial system do not care about the accused. They are looking for easy convictions and false confessions and will stop at nothing to get them. It was obvious the moment we hired Mr. Green that the county re-evaluated everything regarding our case. After their actions, Mr. Green held them accountable. For months he relentlessly fought for us... due to his efforts our case was no-billed. Many facts the "investigators" forgot to add to our file were brought to light, proving our innocence. Without his tireless work, this would not have happened. Through the process he was a calming voice of clarity, honesty, and patience. He was readily available, prepared, and addressed any questions or concerns we had. We cannot thank Him enough for his diligence. We are thoroughly indebted to his service.

If you have hired attorneys that meet the Webster dictionary definition, ie: "Attorney " is a person that has a law degree, will not be totally honest, can take your money and not earn it, will put you off until he is ready to talk to you, and/or never study your case to be able to defend you. Mr. Floyd is the only attorney that doesn't fit that definition!! You will be delighted to have Mr. John Floyd in your corner! Not one attorney that I have ever met that would ever return a check that I sent to him, because he said I paid him too much! Wow! That right there should tell you something about his integrity!!!!! He has a very calm demeanor and doesn't stretch the truth even if you don't want to hear it, he will tell you the truth. Call and set up an appointment with him and judge for yourself. You are wasting time and money on any other attorney, just hire the best, Mr. Floyd.

I am incredibly grateful to have had Attorney Erin Hendricks represent me in my recent trial. From the moment I engaged her services, it was clear that she is not only a skilled lawyer but also a dedicated advocate for her clients. Erin approached my case with meticulous attention to detail, crafting a strong strategy that effectively highlighted the key elements of my defense. Her preparation was thorough, and she was always one step ahead, which instilled a great deal of confidence in me. During the trial, Erin’s ability to articulate complex legal arguments in a clear and compelling manner was impressive. She engaged the jury with a persuasive narrative that truly resonated. Her calm demeanor and strong presence in the courtroom made a significant impact on the proceedings. In addition to her legal expertise, Erin was incredibly supportive throughout the process. She took the time to keep me informed and answered all my questions patiently, which made a stressful situation much more manageable. Winning the case was a testament to her hard work and dedication. I cannot recommend Erin Hendricks highly enough for anyone seeking a competent and passionate attorney. She is a true professional who goes above and beyond for her clients.

Her advice was always spot on and she was always willing to lend an empathetic ear. Her ability to get my case across the finish line, working with multiple lawyers, was truly impressive. It was clear to me that Esther was invested in me as a client, as I am sure she is with all of her clients. Should you need a collaberative divorce attorney, I strongly recommend Esther.

I recently had the good fortune of working with Esther Donald on my collaberative divorce. Esther came highly recommeded to me and she lived up to the billing. The divorce process was much more challenging than I had anticipated. Esther was instrumental in getting the divorce done collaberatively, thus preventing litigation. Her advice was always spot on and she was always willing to lend an empathetic ear. Her ability to get my case across the finish line, working with multiple lawyers, was truly impressive. It was clear to me that Esther was invested in me as a client, as I am sure she is with all of her clients. Should you need a collaberative divorce attorney, I strongly recommend Esther.

As this was my first time ever needing to hire an attorney for anything, my experience was as close to perfect as I could imagine. Ms. Bryson was attentive, I felt heard when sharing information, all while receiving great guidance on what to do next. Her ability to also explain court language to me so I wasn't lost was huge! She is definitely a fighter, and that's what you want when it comes to representation.

I had the pleasure of working with Jack Wilson as my criminal defense attorney, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with his services. Jack is extremely professional and responsive, always providing direct and clear communication, which is crucial in stressful situations like this. Whenever I had a question, he responded within minutes, demonstrating his commitment and dedication. Jack went above and beyond, taking additional time securing a great deal for me when it wasn’t required. He has your best interest in mind 100% of the time even if it means more work for him. Jack took a huge weight off my shoulders and made the entire process much easier to digest. I am forever thankful for Jack Wilson and would 100% recommend him to anyone in need of these kinds of services. Thank you, Jack.

My very close friend made the mistake of a third DWI. He faced felony charges and deportation back to his birth country (he was born in Vietnam, but raised here since he was a toddler). Due to the immense stress of this pending trial, he even suffered physically/medically. Jack was very compassionate and even took the time to meet my friend/client, his brother, and even me in his office. He answered all of my texts and calls very quickly throughout the entire process. He even answered a frantic weekend call from me (when he was probably with his family). Jack made miracles happen and was able to receive a misdemeanor plea deal within a very short time (less than 5 months). I highly recommend Jack Wilson!!! Thank you, Jack! We are grateful.

Sam Lock & his staff came through for me in arguably the darkest year of my life. I had two grievous felony charges levied against me, and I had no idea how to advocate for myself or navigate the justice system. I had never been in any kind of trouble before. I never harmed or threatened ANYONE, butthe prosecutors were ready to throw the book at me. All I could think about was the potential of losing my career and abandoning my family to fend for themselves while I spent the next ten years in prison for a stupid mistake. Sam Lock listened to my side of the story. He advocated on my behalf before the court and helped me to navigate the situation step-by-step. A momentary lapse in judgement almost cost me my whole life, but Sam Lock fought for me & secured an outcome that was fair and gracious. I never served a single day of prison or probation. I have a second chance to live rightly and continue providing for my family. Sam is a straight-shooter. He's a reasonable man, and he was clear throughout the process on what I should expect. I never felt like he was overpromising or underdelivering on his word. Whenever my wife or I were totally stressed out, Sam would meet with us and answer questions which brought a lot of relief. His staff were very kind and professional, also. Sam's defense was worth every penny.

To say Mr. Featherston's representation was PHENOMENAL would be an injustice to his true personal and professional ethic because he is THE ATTORNEY you want on your side. Nothing short of COMPELLING in and out of the courtroom, I was fortunate and lucky enough to see Mr. Featherston handle my case and I was just blown away by how DETAILED and ATTENTIVE his approach to my legal situation was. I mean he just took the case from all angles and had an answer for any possibility that came our way. This case would change my life and perspective toward how real the world can get but Mr. Featherston & his legal counsel shielded me from what could have been a very different outcome. I am completely in awe of Robert Featherston as an attorney and as a great man. I wish him continued success in what is obviously a very remarkable and accomplished career. My best, Nathaniel Tristan.

I had three different separate cases within the last five-six years, a misdemeanor, felony & a DWI. I contacted, Scott Lemanski and his law firm, he and his team, scheduled a sit down at his office as soon as possible, He and his team heard each case on dates after they have occurred, I have felt that Mr. Lemanski was the perfect attorney to retain and to get the job done in a timely and professional manner. I walked in concerned and worried, Scott Lemanski and his team put the confidence back in and reassured that they would take care of things. They were able to get all three of my cases different from each other on three separate occasions all dismissed!. Scott Lemanski, is the only attorney that I would recommend, trust and rehire if needed to get anything, criminally done!.

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.
