Once considered taking a plea deal since I couldn't afford a long drawn out court process. He encouraged me that it would not be for nothing. Told me, without a hint of hesitation, that it would be okay. Now 2 years later, I went from fighting a felony assault charge to a NOT Guilty to the same case. I don't ever want to be in trouble again, but it is apparent that I will call Zach first and foremost.

My first time ever getting in trouble my sister gave me Zach Ferguson number, I called Zach and he gave me a fair price to represent me. He let me decide on my my payments would be because I couldn’t afford to pay in full up front. He advised me of a program that will help put a thing of the past completely behind me and he was very responsive and helpful along the way with any questions I may have had.

Very impressed from the moment I hired Cordt to handle both felony and misdemeanor charges. He was always upfront with advice and keeping me up to date. He fought hard for my cases and got me the results beyond my highest expectations - both resulting in PTI and subsequent dismissal. Incredibly thankful and indebted to Cordt and his office for the hard work and professionalism.

Cordt Cullen Akers seems to lack the strategic foresight needed for effective defense. My experience was particularly disappointing as he pushed for a plea deal without thoroughly reviewing the evidence. This was especially frustrating when other defendants in the same case had their charges dismissed, suggesting the case might have lacked merit. His background as a former prosecutor might not translate well into defense strategy, leading to decisions that could be seen as overly cautious or misaligned with the client's best interests. I would caution against hiring him if you're looking for aggressive defense or a thorough case review. His approach might not be suited for everyone, especially in cases where a nuanced defense is crucial.

My experiences with the Deck Law Firm have been nothing short of excellence in action. I initially engaged the Deck Law Firm on a tax issue many years ago and through Tyler's work received a favorable outcome. Last year I had my first interaction with Williamson County and was arrested on a DWI. My first time ever in jail and first DWI charge. Very much a life changing event even at 50+ as well as my employment in the transportation industry. My first call was to the Deck Law Firm and Ryan Deck specifically for this case. He personally called me back, asked very specific questions of course and then talked me through the process we would be going forward with. Ryan's Paralegal team of Nikki and Lillian were both top notch in sharing information and advising me of Ryan's instructions to complete certain steps in advance of our initial court date as well as all follow up court dates and needed information for us all to be successful. Meeting Ryan in person and watching him command attention in the court room setting is most impressive when you compare him to other lawyers present in a court room setting. His experience, knowledge of the system and personality is a winning combination for anyone needing help through a DWI experience. Follow all of his instructions and let Ryan and his team work for you and you will definitely get the most favorable outcome from the court system. I would have zero hesitation whatsoever in recommending Ryan and his team for any legal representation.

“I cannot say enough about the incredible representation I received from Ryan Deck. From the very first consultation, it was clear that he was relentless in his pursuit of justice. Ryan left no stone unturned, meticulously analyzing every detail of my case and finding flaws in the prosecution’s arguments that I didn’t even know existed. Throughout the process, he was communicative, supportive, and fiercely dedicated. Ryan’s courtroom presence was impressive—sharp, confident, and unshakable. Thanks to his tireless efforts and legal expertise, the outcome of my case was a Not Guilty verdict. I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone facing a DWI/Criminal charge. He truly fights for you and delivers results.”

I am so lucky to have been able to meet and hire Mr. Brian Poe Esquire. He is the best. He saved me from massive and I mean massive time. And large exposure. He does not overcharge to put for his building and staff like all the other lawyers. He actually is a former Assistant United States Attorney at U.S. Department of Justice and a former Dallas County District attorney who worked under the legendary Tony Schook. I got my life saved and I am now at Home safe thanks to Brian and his wonderful Criminal Federal legal skills. He is a blessing to me and my family. We will never ever forget his wonderful work and honesty and ability to work with my family and me. He is always honest and truthful. He is a family man. He is honest. Don’t hire any criminal lawyer anywhere unless you speak to Mr. Brian Poe Esquire. Trust me you won’t be let down.

My Son was facing serious felony criminal charges which could have resulted in multiple years in prison. In all honesty in Mr. Poe being his court appointed attorney we really were not expecting much. Sadly this wasn’t my sons first time in trouble and our experience with both hired and court appointed attorneys hasn’t been the best. They’ve often been difficult to reach and we’ve found ourselves to be just another case file. This wasn’t the case with Brian Poe. Not only did we find him extremely knowledgeable in federal criminal law, he was compassionate and treated my son and our family with respect. He took NUMEROUS calls from my son and myself and always took the time to explain every step of the process. Brian actually would take the time to message me when he would meet with my son just to let me know that he was doing okay. He’s genuinely just a good man. In our experience with Mr. Poe we found him to be a dedicated, knowledgeable attorney with a great working relationship with both the DA and the courts. In court he fought for my son and was able to get the minimal amount of time on his sentence. I sincerely don’t believe we could have done this without him. My review cannot begin to express our gratitude and appreciation for the determination and hard work he put into my sons case. If you’re looking for a respected, experienced, compassionate attorney who will fight for you then Brian Poe is the attorney for you.

I was on the receiving end of false reports which led to charges against me. It took 3 years until the charges were dropped, but Ken stuck with it, patiently answering my questions and holding power to account along the way. The adversarial system isn't designed to be easy, but even by those standards, it was a slog. But working with Ken was a large part of making the process tolerable as we eventually got to the correct result. Thanks, Ken!

I was indicted for multiple felonious charges stemming from an on-duty shooting while employed as a police officer. Ken Ervin & Doug O'Connell fought aggressively to show the case had no grounds for prosecution. The case was ultimately dismissed and the charges expunged. Their cumulative track record of winning jury trials, specifically for law enforcement made a huge difference. I'll forever be thankful for their relentless defense and outstanding communication along the way. Thank you!

If someone asked me do I know a good attorney, I’d say I know an EXCELLENT attorney and her name is Letitia Quinones. Back in 2007, I needed legal assistance to help with a criminal case. A gentleman I met told me to contact the attorney he knew. The attorney he knew did not end up being the Counsel, but Letitia was given the case. Not knowing what to expect, I was extremely grateful for Letitia because she was honest and laid the cards on the table. There was no guessing or leaving without understanding. She was great! We never know why things happen the way that they do, but God sent us an Angel. Moving forward to 2017, two cases were picked up and Letitia was the only attorney I was contacting. When you know what you are getting, there is absolutely no need to look any further. Letitia worked these two cases just like I knew she would. She will work every case to exhaustion to receive the perfect outcome for her clients. If there were only 10 rocks to turn over, Letitia would find more. That to me represents the strength of her skills as an attorney. During the process of these two cases, another case was picked up. Again, Letitia exhibited the quality of excellence. What you will get when you hire Letitia, with over 20 years of experience: Judicial expertise, Honesty, Loyalty, Patience, Thoroughness, Trustworthiness, Diligence, Attentiveness, Dependability, Determination, Discipline, Endurance, and more.

I could not have found a better attorney than Letitia Quinones. Ms. Quinones and her team are caring, professional, dedicated and passionate when it comes to defending their clients. Letitia represented my son in court about a month ago I was very impressed with the concise and powerful defense that she provided for my son. I can honestly say I never seen an attorney consistently push back on the prosecutor and did not back down for one second. She was always available whenever I had questions or concerns regarding my son’s case. I would highly recommend her for any of your legal needs.

Hi everyone, appreciate your help with this. I had 3 Amex cards that were all used for business across 2 businesses. Two payments on one of those cards (related to a business that was struggling) was missed in the summer of 2019 which resulted in all 3 cards being cancelled by Amex (the other 2 cards, related to the same business had no perfect payment history). That card which was opened in 2016 eventually went into collections and charged off. Which brought down my credit score to 450, I also had delinquent accounts, deeds in lieu of foreclosure. Following the advice found on this site about PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST how they’ve been helping people to get a good credit score I contacted them immediately and explained my dilemma to them which he promised to fix the situation. I sent the necessary information which was needed to get my job done. Within 3 days all negative items have been deleted and my credit score has been raised to TU 801, EQ 809, EXP 811. This was what so many scammers who claimed to be hackers couldn’t do. I’m happy to have read about PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST. You can contact them via:

Mr. Barrera, Jr. was my attorney in a DTPA /Product Liability case that involved 4 international corporations. He was a wonderful Plaintiff's Attorney! He kept me up to date on all petitions and motions filed by the defendants and all that were filed on my behalf. He was very quick to answer all my phone calls and was very conscientious to use language I would understand when explaining the legal jargon being used in the motions and pleadings etc..... He allowed me to be present during several depositions and accepted any input from me very respectfully. He totally engrossed himself in learning the way my company used the products involved in my lawsuit and thereby thoroughly understood the economic impact the defendants products had on my company. I feel confident that Rick could handle any case he was in involved in with the upmost professionalism. I highly recommend him.

I'm very glad I did. He was very professional, thorough, and it was apparent from the very beginning that he cares about his clients. On my birthday, I got an email that my charge had been dismissed. Aside from just court proceedings, Mr. Morris went above and beyond for me. He helped me make the right decisions in my life to become a better person and grow from this experience. God bless you, Attorney Mac! Thank you for everything you've done to help me. The world needs more like you!

I was indicted on 1st degree murder. Adam had previously been my lawyer for a separate charge. I called him and he took the case. He fought for a year on my behalf, and kept me and my family updated along the way. He did not buckle under the pressure the prosecution was applying, even when they told him that if I didn't accept their deal they would pick up all 4 charges and take me to trial on them . (3 1st dg. Felonies, 1 misdemeanor) He got the 1st dg. Murder charge dropped, the other charges were let go, and I did not have to go to prison for life. He is a life saver.

This is hands down the best legal representation I trust for myself or my family. Over 10 years ago I got into trouble and Mr. Clancy went above and beyond to help me with amazing representation. So much so afterwards I was able to pivot and I went on to earn a Bachelor's and working towards my Masters Degree and none of this would be possible if I didn't have the proper representation. It's hard to find a lawyer who would work hard for you, and thankfully I was able to obtain representation from Daniel Clancy and I changed my life afterwards. I graduated with Honors from college and I can't thank him enough. I trust Daniel Clancy with my family and friends who need legal representation and I believe he is one of the best to do it. Thank you so much Daniel Clancy for helping me. If you need someone who can actually get the job done, Danny is the best place to start if you're in Texas.

Kevin Lessman is my attorney and has been for two years now. He is persistent on about me taking more of an interest in my defense. When I don't call or keep my appointments, he gives me a herd time about it. I realized that he is trying to fight for me and needs my help. When I had a second case come up for the same thing, I kept my appointment and he did his very best and kept me from going to prison. He is a great person and never looks down on anyone or passes judgement. He is easy to talk to and works hard get the best deal. Thanks Kevin, for everything.

Los Abogados Héctor y Octavio , llevaron a buen término el caso de mi hijo, el cual fue victima de racismo por parte de un conductor que le cortó la vía y llamó al 911 diciendo que mi hijo lo había amenazado con un arma. Todo es falso mi hijo , no usa armas , pero gracias a la buena decisión de poner nuestro caso en manos de estos excelentes profesionales del derecho y con una calidad humana excepcional, ayudaron a mi hijo a salir de este mal momento, que nos costó casi 1 año. Pero agradecida con la constancia del abogado Héctor, que se plantó firme ante la corte y constancia todos los argumentos objetivos para llevar en final termino el caso. Agradecida en nombre de mi familia y mi hijo y que Dios los continué Bendiciendo. Mil por ciento recomendados.

Amazing, Awesome, Seasoned, Professional, Highly Skilled and Caring. That’s what Don Flanary and his law firm associates are and more. I found the Flanary Law Firm while searching for legal help for my son. At the time my family was distraught and in distress. Don and Amanda were calm, helpful and hopeful. They immediately had a plan of action, they were READY to go to battle and that was just after an initial meeting! Their positive and fighting energy was so amazing and inspiring and exactly what we needed. It was what my son needed. Right after we retained Don, he and Amanda took IMMEDIATE action to right a wrong. They stayed on top of everything and was aggressive in their defense of my son. They accomplished in less than a year what we so desperately needed for our son, a DISMISSAL! We already had over a year in this unfortunate ordeal, living in unrest, stress and worry. Don and Amanda took notice and took immediate action! Their dedication, expert knowledge of the law, the legal system and the courts is a why our son and our family currently have PEACE of mind. Go with Flanary Law Firm! It was one of THE BEST decision we’ve ever had to make for a dire and daunting situation. We are ever so grateful and blessed to have had these folks placed in our lives. So very and eternally grateful!!

Without going into too much detail about what I was being accused of, my case was a life changing one. I was being accused of one of the worst things human being can be accused of. I did a ton of research on top attorneys in San Antonio and what they’re success rates were. I interviewed about 6 attorneys and Don was the last one that I interviewed. One of the first things that I noticed about Don was his passion and energy for what he does. Within a few minutes he was asking questions that nobody else had asked me, he immediately dove into the details and began to tear it apart. WOW! I knew immediately that he was the one. Don is on a different level compared to all the other attorneys I had spoken with. He’s one of those attorneys that’s not scared to go to trial and he tells it exactly how it is. One of the best ways to visualize how I felt about Don was like having a Pit bull on my side. He was relentless with the details and the facts of this case and he never let me down. He brought in all the right people that included private detectives, experts and even other attorneys for advice. I’ve never met anyone like Don and I truly feel in my heart that I’d be sitting in prison right now if it wasn’t for him.

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.
