I would like to personally extend my gratitude to Shawn Brown due to how effective and efficient he was. Upon meeting him, I respected the fact that he listened to me and my case, paying attention to the details I provided him. Shawn was able to get my case dismissed within rapid fashion. My case was considered "High Profile" to which it should have taken 8 months to 1 year minimum if not more to be handled. Shawn was able to get this done in 2 months which speaks volumes about his experience. I am thankful for his knowledge and expertise on navigating the complex field of the legal system. I would say for anyone that is looking for elite representation, this is the man and firm to go to.

He recommended I take the deal, which I did. But I remember very well he added if I did 2 years of the 5 years’ probation he would work to get me released sooner. Inside, I didn’t believe that would happen and he wasn’t being honest. But 2 years later to the date he followed through, and I was released from probation. And what a relief. Not being worried all the time. Yes, I had things to do on my end to make that happen. But I go to enough AA meetings and hear of similar offers people get and their lawyers do not follow through. Even when the person does their part. That is why I was lucky (grateful) to have him. That look he gave me in my eyes was sincere, even though at the time I wasn’t believing it.

Ryan was such a god-send to us when my minor daughter found herself in an unfortunate legal situation that could have had serious repercussions for her future. From the beginning, Ryan made us feel more calm and in-control of the situation. He was always available when there was a new development in the case, or we had questions. He also did a great job communicating with my daughter and making sure she understood the situation and what was expected of her. Ryan knew all the players and was able to negotiate the best outcome that we could have hoped for. We are so thankful to have had Ryan on our side during this stressful time.

When asked his opinion, because I had never been in trouble with the law and didn’t know how things worked, he was forthcoming about the situation and told me what he thought was best for me, always reiterating he was on my side no matter what I chose to do. They will be in my prayers for blessings today and beyond. This is a wonderful team to have in your corner!!

We payed him a consult Fee due to how far he had to travel but ended up not needing to hire him because the case was dismissed. What I will say is that he was very easy to communicate with and always responded to my txt and calls. Although he did not represent us I trust and believe that he would have been the BEST choice.

Mr. King is a stellar attorney!! I consulted Jeff when I was made to show cause for false official statement and fraternization and was immediately impressed by him. He came highly recommended by a friend who also trusted and was let down by the system, but Jeff proved she was NOT guilty at a Court Martial. Jeff is very methodical, professional, thorough, very well spoken and has a presence that is unmatched. He owned the room at my Board of Inquiry with his calm, yet powerful demeanor and I saw how impressed the Board was by him from the start. His military legal experience has WELL prepared him to defend military members. I am a Mustang Naval Officer with a 23 year career that has been nothing less than honorable and I had been wronged by a system I have trusted my entire career. My only regret was that I did not hire Jeff prior to my NJP. I am confident if I had I never would had to face a show cause proceeding. If you are also being treated as guilty until proven guilty as I was, DO NOT hesitate! Jeff will tirelessly work to make them hear you! Jeff King is well worth your investment and he WILL protect the career you have put blood, sweat, and tears into! My Board unanimaously overturned the false official statement and voted to retain. I am extremely happy with the results and now have the closure I needed. I can now honorably retire!

I can't say enough good things about Bryan Orihel! Bryan recently represented me in a trespassing case where I was wrongfully arrested, and I’m thrilled to say he got it completely dismissed. From start to finish, Bryan was professional, attentive, and incredibly skilled. He took the time to truly understand my case and kept me informed every step of the way. His knowledge of the law and attention to detail were beyond impressive. What really stood out to me was how much he genuinely cared about my situation and fought for the best possible outcome. Thanks to Bryan, a stressful chapter in my life is behind me, and I couldn't be more grateful.

I moved to Houston in April, and my welcome was " being hit from behind, while at a red light ". I was recommended an attorney that would later prove to have absolutely no integrity leaving me no choice accept to release him and search for a new attorney. Best decision I ever made was to retain Attorney Todd White! His demeanor is a quiet one, not to be mistaken for weakness. Mr. White showed me great and immediate assistance. His staff definitely represents him well. My experience with his employees was one that made me feel like a family member. Warm ,caring and professional. Mr. White was able to pick up where the other attorney left off from and literally resolved my case in less than 30 days! And is currently still fighting for MORE! If you need a sincere and trustworthy attorney, I highly recommend him! Also, while going through a rough spot, Mr. White allowed me to vent, without charge. Lol. Boy, did I vent, while he showed me compassion as he listened. That is a quality is one that not all Lawyers possess when it's only about money. Thank you Mr.White!

I recently had an informative telephone consultation with Attorney Todd White, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the moment the call began, he was incredibly professional and attentive. Attorney White took the time to listen to my concerns and answered all of my questions in a clear and concise manner. What impressed me most was his in-depth knowledge of the law and his ability to explain complex legal concepts in an understandable way. I felt reassured and well-informed by the end of our conversation. Attorney White provided me with valuable insights and practical advice that I can use moving forward. Overall, I highly recommend Attorney White of The White Law Firm for anyone seeking legal advice. The level of expertise and the personalized attention I received made all the difference. Thank you for a wonderful experience! Dr. Leah Pouncy-Dean/LCPAA 1Archangel Foster and Adoption Agency

Nicole is one of the best. I feel insanely fortunate to have had her represent me, along with all of the other wonderful and talented attorneys working at this firm. Edit: The previous review was sent from my phone and I feel it does not do justice to how much this firm has helped me. Nicole and her team worked diligently to help me navigate the complex legal framework and achieve a result that, from everything I was able to find, is the most ideal outcome I could have received. If it weren't for her amazing levels of skill, talent, and laundry list of experience, I would wager that what she does must be in the realm of magic. At times I was uncertain about what was happening, only to later learn how much she was doing in the background for me. Her team was always polite and courteous and it always felt as though she truly had my best interest at heart. After the nightmare finally being over, I know that this was not simply a feeling. She is an absolute force to be reckoned with and I can only thank my lucky stars to have ended up with her.

I would like to be clear that Nicole was appointed to me by the court system. Despite being one of the best attorneys in the state, she dedicates her time to help those who can not afford it. She is a truly kind and genuine person who clearly seeks the best in those she comes in contact with. After dealing with the Federal criminal justice system, her efforts were able to give me a second chance. I could never fully express how grateful I am to have had her help. Whenever I would drop her name, everyone knew who she was and would always follow it with, "she's one of the best." I don't personally believe in a higher power, but after how fortunate I was to have had her represent me, I am starting to reconsider it.

I was facing a Board of Inquiry for violations of UCMJ articles 89, 123, and 133. My 27 years of Marine Corps service and my retirement and veteran benefits were all at risk. Mr. Vokey immediately planned my whole defense and do all the work and I got sit back and watch him go to work. He brilliantly dismantled the government’s case with expert detail and pointed every mistake they made. I got the best verdict possible for BOI which is all allegations unsubstantiated. Thank you Mr. Vokey you saved my career, sanity, and my family. I can’t describe in words how great he was.

I was falsely accused of egregious professional misconduct under the Army’s SHARP program. Due to the notoriety of SHARP in the current command climate of the Armed Forces, that false allegation resulted in me facing not only an other-than-honorable involuntary termination of my military service but also irreparable and irrevocable harm to my professional career. The opprobrium of being labeled a “predator” presumed guilty of false sexual misconduct and the subsequent isolation stemming from the Army’s stance of ‘guilt by accusation’ in matters pertaining to SHARP showed my family and me a new level of hellish fear as we felt the weight of the Department of Defense smothering our integrity, honor, and livelihood. I was referred to Colby Vokey by a trusted friend, and that referral changed our lives. Mr. Vokey told my story; the truthful story. He provided encouragement and support and continuously stoked the will to fight back against the injustice of a system designed to protect victims but that was being weaponized against me. Thanks to Mr. Vokey, I was exonerated of all charges, including an overturn of the “founded” SHARP allegations and subsequent administrative actions, and I was vindicated. If you are reading this, searching for the best military attorney for your case, stop here. You’ve found him.

I've been working with Amber and her team for the past three years. She's one of the most important people in my life. She was able to get a very serious charge dismissed for me. The amount I paid her felt like a lot at the time but in retrospect it was nothing. I would've found a way to pay her twice that. I heard about someone who had her appointed by the court and I just think, what incredible luck. If you get her appointed or if you've just hired her just do what she asks and you can sit back and relax. I feel so lucky to have chosen her to represent me. Things could've gone very differently for me but I hired her and saw true justice done.

I just called her office to request information regarding a case from 20+ years ago. Her office manager, being 30+ years experienced in crime records reporting, took her own time to advise me on the process and how to proceed, without having to hire a legal counselor at all. Mrs Vazquez has the right team working for her, and if I am ever in a need for a legal counselor again, I won't shop around, I've already found the right counselor and team. Support staff makes up 50% of the practice. Excellent choice in your office manager Mrs. Vazquez.

When you look for a Lawyer you want someone that you can trust. Amber keeps her word. I found Amber outside of AVVO and hired her. She has compassion but has the intensity when it is needed. She has a passion for what she does and that makes a difference in the case. Amber is aggressive in the courtroom and her presence is known when she walks into the room. She is patient and kind and always answered every question I ever had. When you reach out to her or her office they are attentive, they find the answers and make sure things are taken care of. Her team is dependable. The court process is tough and she saw me as a person, treated me right, and fought for what she believed in. She is first class and is a wise choice I hired Amber outside of AVVO on my own. She represented.

With his many years as a defense attorney, he has a heavy reputation and everyone knows him and he knows everyone.

Mr. Carter was referred to me from a good friend who I've known for a while and it was by far the best referral I could ever have gotten. Don fought for me as if he was my own father. He got me more than I would have ever expected. I've dealt with many lawyers in past and most of them were trash even after paying them good money. Don has been at this business a long time and it shows in the courtroom. He gets much respect from the judges and prosecutors and trust me that goes a long ways. If your in need of a good lawyer who will fight for you and is not all about money then look no further than Mr. Carter and his assistant Celia! I couldn't be more happy with the results.

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.

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.

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.
