Paralegal Andrea harassed my girlfriend at H‑E‑B plus, tried to threatened her. Then continued by calling her non stop and texting threats. That she would “beat her up on site and catch her from the back”. So unprofessional.

I engaged this firm to represent my interest in a Real Estate matter and submitted a significant amount in a Retainer Account, but during the years that this case dragged on and no progress, the attorneys moved on to other firms.
This place is nothing but crooks.

These attorneys go above and beyond to be a bull dog for you. Hilary Duncan is no longer affiliated with this firm and her actions only made their firm stronger. Sometimes you get to see something you watched on dateline actually freaking happen. Now they ARE the team and will fight for your rights. All the coercion is taken out with the trash. Best lawyers around! Especially Bryan Fitzgerald. Bulldog is his nickname. ;)

A few decades ago, Russ fought tooth and nail for me, and I am free this day because I chose to have him represent me. He continues to hold his standards of representing people the same as he did when he started his practice, and he is the best courtroom brawler that I have seen in a jury trial. I highly recommend Russ Sr. in the Waco area and his son, Russ Jr. in the Williamson County area. Thank you Russ Sr. for never giving up on fighting my cases.

A family member was facing serious charges, The detective recommended defense attorney Russ Hunt we're glad he did as Russ was always there for us & responded very quickly to questions & our concerns, many times after hours. Russ gave sound advice to his client which they followed, we had the best outcome to this case that we hoped for !
The judge said in the court room in front of everyone that we had the best lawyer & he was right!
Russ has the respect from all law enforcement officials which means alot when your facing charges.
Thank you again Russ for a job well done

Bobby was recommended to me by another lawyer as the best for my needs and he lived up to it. He is intelligent, professional, very courteous, down to earth, and even humorous making it a pleasure to work with him. He was clear and prompt in his communication and did the things he said he would. He may not be the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. Hope I don't need to, but I would absolutely work with him again or recommend him.

I retained this attorney due to her reviews. The reviews do NOT truly represent the experience that we had. Emily is quick to take your money, however quick to jump off the case when the going gets tough. NOT what they state.

Emily took over my case from another attorney that went out of town. She got my charges dismissed. Although that's not the part that I was most impressed with. She was always available for me. She emailed me over the holiday to answer questions. She took my case and concerns seriously and contacted the appropriate people multiple times to ensure that my case was taken care of. She is a consummate professional and by far the best attorney I have ever dealt with. Should you ever need someone to be on your side and fight for you, Emily is the best attorney for the job, bar none. Thank you, Emily, for a job well done!!

I have thought long and hard about what I wanted to include in this review...no words can truly express my gratitude for having Emily represent me. I owe her my life! I was indicted on conspiracy to possess and distribute meth...I was facing a minimum of 30 years In federal prison...I had a felony on my record for a similar offense. I was pregnant when the Feds picked me up...Emily got me out on pre-trial release and made them remove my ankle monitor. I landed in Judge McBryde's court and had 6 witnesses testify against me (one included my daughters father)...we took my case to trial and Emily was able to prove the witnesses were lying to get time off and that the DEA agent was not playing a fair game. I RECEIVED A NOT GUILTY VERDICT! I'm now home with my babies...if those results don't speak for themselves...nothing will. She saved my life...everyone said there wasn't a chance in hell we would win but she fought for me till the end!

Contraté a la Abogada Pamela G. Munoz para procesar el Parole para mi hermana, me cobró por la consulta y le pagué, en Abril 2024, y en la consulta exigió el pago completo de honorarios para iniciar el proceso y se los pague el 29/4/2024 y los recibió y quedó en iniciar el proceso en primera semana de mayo. Después de esta comunicación no contestó más mis llamadas , mensajes, correos ni tampoco mensajes por redes sociales. Hasta la fecha ha sido imposible localizarla para que me devuelva los honorarios que le pague y que reuní con mucho sacrificio, ya que no cumplió con su compromiso profesional.

My mother overstayed with her visa years ago and my family and I finally gathered the money to file for her residence. Needless to say, the process went fast and smooth thanks to Pamela and my mother had her green card in about 3 months from filing.
I am beyond thankful for the attentive service Pamela offered to my mother. She is very responsive on her emails and phone calls and even if she missed some she will get back to you soon. If you do hire her, be prepared to be patient because she is highly requested to represent other people as well as yourself. However, don't let that scare you! Even though she is extremely busy she works around your schedule to meet up with you and have all the paperwork ready to go for the legal case. Pamela, thank you very much for all the hard work you do!

Look no further! She will help you! I recently finish my immigration case and everything went incredible. I can’t stress out how knowledgeable she is. I have a felony (and I’m not saying that she can help everyone with the same problems that I had) but I’m a permanent resident and my father is nationalize citizen and when I told her my situation, immediately she told me that I might be legible for citizenship… to be honest, I was shopping around, but, off all 5 attorneys that I went, she was the only one that immediately knew my options compare to the other ones. It came to a point that I told them what Mrs. Munoz told me and then that’s when they told me that she was right and the completely forgot about that law! She never made me feel like I was just another case (money). She cares, gave me advice, and truly help me with this stress full situation. Hands down, she is the best not just like an attorney, but as a person. I’m so thank-full that God put her in my path. So if you are reading this Mrs. Munoz, thank you and God bless!

I was referred to a friend who happened to be in the same cell block as me. I called him from jail collect on Xmas night around dinner time and HE ACTUALLY ACCEPTED. I hired him although my court date wasn't until the 1st week in Feb. He went to my court room and talked to the district attorney of my court and secured a deal. And this was the first week of Jan.. He came to see me and asked if I'd accept the deal. I was looking at 5yrs TDC. Now the deal he got was for time served if I signed on my court date in Feb. I SAID HELL YEAH. Now when my court date arrived my cell block was on quarantine for covid and I wasn't allowed to attend. But that didn't stop Paul. I called him and told him and he said don't worry. He got me a PR Bo d so that I was released the day I should have been with a court date to o my come and sign my papers But bad luck still tried to beat us, pretrial never came that night to release me. That still didn't stop Paul even though he was in Brazoria County and I was in Harris. All of a sudden I was called out for court. When I got to court pretrial was there with my bond papers to sign. But when I signed them the bailiff said I was getting a dbl. Whammy today. There was a phone and a stack of papers on a desk. I picked up the phone and Paul who was at the Brazoria courthouse walked me through each one as I signed them. Then I was escorted into the courtroom and it was only me, the bailiff, and the court coordinator. All of a sudden Paul (in brazoria) appeared on a screen via Zoom as did the Judge (from home). And there I accepted my plea agreement. Now I was wondering why I still signed my pr bond papers if I signed for my plea. Well it normally takes them until the middle of the night to release you after court but by the time I got back to housing , releasing had already been calling for me. Needless to say I was released within 2 hours of returning from court. Paul gets things done. And he keeps his promises. IF YOURE EVER IN A BIND CALL PAUL MORGAN. HE WONT LET YOU DOWN.

I have been wanting to do this review for a while, because Mr. Balli and his law firm deserve it. I don't know how much it will help Mr. Balli, but I hope it helps you. If you ever find yourself in a tough situation Mr. Balli is the best in Laredo and like my husband says he's a beast. That is what you need a beast; not scared to go up in front of the judge or jury. He will do everything he can legally to defend you as much as viable. You have to be patient and mentally strong. Just know that he can not give you updates every week, but when the time comes to represent you he will. My husband was initially looking at forty years and was sentenced to two years. I would definitely rehire Mr. Balli and his law firm to represent us, because he has great knowledge in the law and knows how to apply it to his client's needs.

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE ... Hired them for a developing case and rarely dealt with the actual attorneys. Instead they passed me off to their assistant Diana Wilson who’s pushy and is almost always in a sour mood and demanding more money/payments to be made. Made me very uncomfortable to deal with. You should NEVER have to feel like your attorney (legal) team is against you, which is how I felt constantly. If you aren’t able meet when they request for an “office visit” after a few times they will rule you non compliant and drop you. A lot of the office visits were in the middle of the day in work days. I almost never got a phone call back when they said they would and always had to call them the next day. They treat their high paying customers with more attention and leave the low paying ones to deal with Diana (who knows jack squat about negotiating). In the end I’m out almost 2 grand and all they accomplished was a few volleying phone calls to the opposing attorney and basically being the middle man for relaying the other legal teams requests. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

In the darkest time of my life, James Whalen was a life saver! Facing 2-5 years in Federal prison for mail theft, James Whalen assured me that I had a GREAT lawyer and that he was going to do his best to get me the best possible outcome. Fast forward 1 year later and James Whalen did exactly that! Mr. Whalen used his knowledge, experience, and connections (everyone knows him at the Federal Court Building literally!) to help me get 3 yrs. probation with electronic check in!!! I'm home with my family and extremely grateful for James Whalen and his awesome team! If you ever made a mistake or find yourself in trouble with the law and looking for a lawyer, hire James Whalen and be assured your with the best in the business!! Thank you James Whalen from me and my family!!

I am very happy with the represtation I had from James Whalen and Ryne Sandel. They were professional, responsive, and knew the details of my case. They were able to bring in experts to help with my defense and ultimately got my case dismissed. They were great to work with and I always felt they were truly on my side and wanted the best possible outcome.

I was arrested for DUI in Dec 2014 in Collin County. I think I got a hold of him in January 2015. He kept pushing back my case and kept telling me they may have some veteran aid coming up in the county and to just hold on. In short, he pushed back my trial to fight it to January 2016! That is when I found out insurance, work, ect all go off the date of conviction, not the date of incident. Joel knew this and never told me. DUIs take a while to recover from and this added a year to the process for me. If I knew the date of conviction was what insurance and jobs went off of, I would have set my trial date as soon as possible. I felt extremely mislead by Joel.

We hired him for my wife's custody case. We were served papers a week before court. We had already given him 1200 dollars, but he absolutely refused to shift an ass cheek until we got him ANOTHER 1200 dollars. But he only left himself 4 days to prepare. He was not prepared, to say the least. He couldn't get simple motions granted, didn't prevail in court, and appeared ready to surrender from the start.
He rolls over at the suggestion of resistance. He doesn't communicate with you, except to send a bill. For work he apparently did, but for which there is no evidence.
Please don't put your trust in this man. We made a terrible mistake in hiring him. We absolutely would not do it again.

Lewis is awesome I have been using him for my CPS case. He is always a phone call away. He like others have said will make sure you understand everything that is said in court. He makes sure he is a step ahead of CPS. He wants to get the kids back because I deserve to have them back. You have to do what he says and you have a better chance of getting your kids back.

I hired Gary Smart about 10 years ago through a recommendation from a church member. I was in a very tight legal situation out of Denton County after admitting to being partiality guilt to a crime and believing the detective would hold up to his promise to me of dropping the felony to a misdemeanor. The detective didn't hold up to it, however Attorney Smart was able to get them to change their mind and get me an extremely fair plea deal. The judge even told me "Son, you better be thankful that you hired such a great attorney, stop making dumbass decisions and get your life together". I'll forever be grateful to him fair price/payment plan, his professionalism, and care that he had shown me.

Veronica Legarreta has proven to be very unprofessional. She takes weeks, and even months to respond to case inquiries. Both Veronica and her assistant are verbally aggressive, rude and have even yelled at us on more than one occasion.
We requested an itemized bill to check retainer funds status. Veronica became irate, slamming folders onto her desk, and berated her assistant in front of us for being inefficient. Veronica emailed us the following day, stating she would no longer be our attorney. Over the last 2 months, she continues to be difficult in transferring our file to our new attorney.
We have decided to have a police escort accompany us to retrieve our paperwork, in person. Veronica Legarretta is a physically and verbally hostile person. We will certainly report her behavior to the State Bar for unprofessionalism.

We hired Ms Legaretta when our son was charged with multiple non-violent felonies, and looking at a sentence of 25 years. Immediately after hiring her, she did the research, formulated a plan, communicated that plan to us, and then went to work. As with all worried parents, we had questions every day. She encouraged us to text or call as often as we had questions. And she responded with minutes or hours everytime. She was always straight forward, even when the information wasn't what we wanted to hear. She coordinated and collaborated with the prosecutor multiple times, and was able to get a much lesser sentence. Her rates were very affordable, and accepted a payment plan. She made the legal process as easy as possible. She always fully explained the process which helped us understand. We definitely recommend her if you are in need of a criminal lawyer.

Chris Sully was my court appointed attorney and it was always hard to get ahold of him or get any info on my case... he was saying i was going to have to do a few years in jail.

Whatever you do, do not get Chris Sully as your attorney because he will not try to help you.

I am a new business owner and needed an attorney to review my first commercial lease. I felt a little intimidated by the whole process, and didn't really even know the first questions to ask. Chris took the time to call me personally, right away, and answered all of my questions. He then followed up with an email. He didn't bill me for phone time, like other lawyers have in the past. From start to finish he made the process clear and concise. He worked quickly, stayed in budget and drafted a lease that was much more in my favor, that the landlord signed today. I feel confident to not only recommend him to others, but also use him again, without hesitation. Thank you Chris!

Todd was originally referred over to us by a lawyer friend. Todd worked on expunging a completed case starting, and the correspondence started off well. After sending in payment and paperwork to his office on February 5th, I sent a follow up email 10 days later asking for an update. After a month of calling his office and not hearing anything back via email, on March 18th we received an update. After that things ran smooth and anytime I reached out by email he was quick to respond. It was stressful to not hear anything about the case for a month, and we weren't sure if it was even being worked on. I am however grateful that Todd was able to complete this for myself and my family, and was able to do it in a 90 day span.

I was fraudulently accused of an assault on a peace officer. Emily took my case and was very thorough in requesting my video evidence, witness statements, and documentation that was pertinent in proving the charges were false. She always instilled confidence that she could get me the best outcome. Communication was excellent, she kept me informed of all proceedings through court appearances and the entire process. Anytime I had a concern or question about the case she would respond to my text messages instantly. Ultimately, she got the charges dismissed. Emily Detoto is at the top of my list if I ever find myself in another terrible situation! Thanks for getting my life back!
I highly recommend her to anyone that wants the BEST criminal defense lawyer in Texas, contact “The Texas Warrior Lawyer” Emily Detoto.

I had the unfortunate experience of being charged with a second offense of Driving While Intoxicated (DWI 2nd) following a traffic accident that was witnessed by a police officer. Considering the high stakes of the case, including the almost certain loss of my career, I knew I needed the best legal representation available.
At the outset, my case seemed pretty hopeless to me. I had refused all field sobriety tests, but a warrant was obtained, and my blood was taken. The test results showed a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) slightly above the legal limit at the time of booking into Harris County Jail.
Fortunately, I immediately retained Emily Munoz Detoto as my attorney, which turned out to be the best decision I could have made. From the start, Emily displayed exceptional professionalism and dedication to my case, and it was evident that she was a seasoned criminal defense attorney. Though her legal advice was blunt at times, it was exactly what I needed to hear.
Throughout the entire process, Emily was confidently on-point and kept me informed every step of the way. The attention paid to her by the court and prosecutors was reassuring, and I give her all the credit for the favorable outcome of my case. My initial hope was for her to negotiate with the DA to reduce my charges or secure a pre-trial intervention, but Emily went above and beyond my expectations.
She reviewed the evidence with me and laid out a clear strategy that included best and worst-case scenarios. She reassured me that if necessary, she was prepared to hire experts and take the case to trial. Her commitment and attention to detail were outstanding, and she made sure I understood every step of the process. Ultimately, she got my case dismissed entirely without the need for a trial, probation, or job search.
Overall, I highly recommend Emily Munoz Detoto to anyone in need of legal representation. She is a true professional who genuinely cares about her clients and is highly capable of achieving the best possible outcome for them. Emily gave me peace of mind throughout the entire process, and I am grateful for the exceptional service she provided. Thanks, Emily, for giving me my life back!

We hired Emily to represent my brother on a Capital Murder case. She was paid 50k. She made many promises and assured us that he was in good hands and that we had nothing to worry about at all. That she knew what she was doing. She visited my brother one time in jail since last year and has failed to communicate with us and him on what is going on. He was offered a plea deal that he had no idea about it what to do when he went to court. She has constantly threaten my family that she is removing her self off case cause she doesn’t like for us to ask questions. She thinks someone is always out to get her. Hiring her has caused more stress and worries than anything. She cant even remember a conversation we had the day before which makes us wonder what’s really going on. She constantly speaking down on us every chance she gets and blocks us for contacting her which is very unprofessional. At this point we don’t even know what she really had been doing on the case.

Hank Judin III claims to file expungement petitions for DiVERT court graduates “Pro Bono” as his way to “give back to the recovery community”. However he claims he only asks for the filing fee. He quotes ~$1000. The actual fee to file the petition pro se is < $300.
The petition template took less then 30min to fill out with information readily available and there is no additional charge for using an e-filing service.

Mr story has been helping me with legal advice. As well as being hired for his services to defend me! As with all the other 5 star ⭐️ reviews for this man, I will go on to say that it is all true. He knows his stuff, from getting the facts straight, his relentless ambition to make sure the justice system works is beyond anything I’ve ever seen. In the court room , out of the courtroom he is a stand up guy! You pay for what you get working with this Brilliant legal expert,, He’s been my Attorny since 2015 and hasn’t once failed me with any information or service I have needed!
He is the only attorney I would consider referring to anybody!

I hired Jeremy Gordon to help with the assistance of a transfer. I was being held in a medium security facility with camp points. This was due to an incorrectly placed greater security management variable.
Jeremy helped me fight the management variable. While originally I just wanted to get my security level reduced to low. Instead through a combination of using the administrative remedy process, and Jeremy's tenacious campaign of phone calls and letters, the BOP completely removed my management variable.
I have now been moved to a low and will soon go to camp as I step down in security levels.
Jeremy is unlike any lawyer I have ever hired before. He not only has extensive knowledge of federal law but also of BOP policy.
One of my favorite things about Jeremy is he always took my calls and responded to my emails in a timely manner. This was a problem I have had with a lot of lawyers in the past.
I have been more than satisfied with the services he has provided. I already plan to solicit his help with more halfway house time as I get closer to my release date.
I have recommended him to several friends and I recommend him to you as well.

Very rude and unprofessional. Hired for case review and 2255. During initial conversation he was very nice and explained everything that he could possibly do and the processes. After receiving payment his attitude changed, he became very rude and unprofessional when notified. On one occasion he hung up in my face and his office manager answered when I called back saying that he was in a meeting when I had just spoken to him on the phone. DO NOT HIRE!!!!!! Do not waste your time nor money.

I used Shannon and had a felony. She brought me down to a misdemeanor. Denton County was not working with me and on my side. Shannon used skills to let me be a free citizen and able to vote. She does not charge a lot at all. I forgot what I had paid. It was totally worth it. She works with you and you can make payments. You can still make payments after the court case if you did not come playing. Jewish woman are the most respected. Pick Shannon. She will make your case disappear or fight to get your voice heard. It took some years, but she did it. I am forever in your debt Shannon. Nothing, but love to you.
If anyone says anything bad about Shannon. You all have something against woman. Shannon stays busy and will return your calls when she finish court. Not too sure if Sandy a Edwards she still is her assistant. Sandy is very knowledgeable and delay messages. Power to women lawyers. You are doing great Sandy. Most of my court case I didn't even go. Sandy stood in for me as I moved to Georgia. Stop the negative reviews. Have some patience and shr will work with you about prices. I didn't pay her enough.

Shannon and her staff have been great at helping me with any questions or concerns I have had. They have always returned any phone calls I have had in a timely matter and put my mind to ease on several occasions. I would highly recommend her to anyone with legal issues needing a attorney.

I cannot put into words how thankful I am for Bobbie. I was facing 10 years mandatory minimum in Federal Prison. Bobbie was brilliant with her strategy. The judge reduced my sentence to less than 5 years. After I took a program and received another year off my sentence I spent a total 3 years incarcerated.
Bobbie save my life and gave me a reason to change my life. Im forever grateful to her.

My husband and I hired Mr. Trevino to help my husband with his residency and it’s been the longest time waiting, without knowing anything. I do not know if he is good or not because we have spoken to him ONCE and through a video call were we could even get to see him, so basically just a phone call. They have the worst customer service, secretary is rude and they never know anything. Plus, that’s once in a million when they answer the phone, which is completely rare. As of today we haven’t received any answers, and when we get to speak to any of them, they just ask for money. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER.

I hired Jorge Treviño to help petition my girlfriend under VAWA. He charged me 50% upfront. He did open a case but soon after that, he stopped answering my calls and texts. His secretary at the firm also stopped answering my calls. I regret hiring this lawyer I just wish he was more honest with me and tell me what actually was going on to help my girlfriend instead of wasting our time and money. Please go to a different immigration lawyer thank you.

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.
