The team at Richard trial attorney are amazing. I received a ticket during the heights of COVID back in 2020 and hired this firm. They worked thru multiple court delays for close to 4 years and finally got my ticket dismissed today. 10/10 highly recommended.

You had no problem taking our family's money to help represent Denisse's immigration case and FAILED. Not only did you give up but didn't return a dime back. Shame on you! Don't worry MEADERS LAW did their thing and now my cousin is home with her family 🫡

Unfortunately, I have to click on at least one star to be able to post this, and even that is more than undeserved. In short - move on, look elsewhere. These human beings will destroy you mentally and emotionally. There are truly genuine attorneys out there and this law firm IS NOT ONE OF THEM.....Vickers Cunningham thought it was wise to show up to our family member's first hearing having not reviewed the entire case information, having not taking the time to have a conversation with her to get to know her and what he was representing, and filing for a form of relief that he knew (or should of known "being a judge") that she did not qualify for. He waisted precious time and never truly fought for us. Initially, all legal advice was communicated to us through his paralegal, Rose Flores, who never shied away from being unprofessional, unkind, rude, and heartless. We were desperate. Prior to meeting with these people, we had read reviews on them regarding racial controversies and unprofessionalism and we were so vulnerable that we decided to give them the benefit of the doubt - all because Rose said what we wanted to hear, not knowing we were really signing for what would come next - disheartening emotional and mental stress coming from unprofessionalism, being spoken to like we were uneducated, meaningless human beings, being unable to get questions truly and genuinely answered with patience, and being ultimately betrayed. We only thought we knew what the true meaning of an emotional roller coaster was until we dealt with these people, then we really knew. Rose played out every scenario and nothing she said was. She spoke as she knew the ins and outs. The truth is - they never had the knowledge enough to deal with our case. Our family member's case was a very tough one - that we knew. But had they just had the professionalism, the humanity, and the kind hearts to say "this is beyond our expertise", we would have respected them and had searched elsewhere. Many other attorneys told me it was a case they knew they could not deal with. Rose said - "we do this everyday". And then they went into the hearing clueless, unprepared, and applying for a relief she never was going to qualify for - so did they truly do it every day?...I would never wish bad upon these people despite all the hurt they caused our family and all they ripped away from us financially, mentally and emotionally, but I hope that they learn from their mistakes and strive to become better human beings....God wasn't going to let what they put us through be the end of our story - our attorney to follow stepped right in, being God sent. She was extremely knowledgeable, caring, passionate, genuine with a true fighting spirit. Mr Vickers ended his last conversation with my family member in saying there was nothing he could do for her, she would have to hope that she was granted a voluntary departure and when she asked him if "this meant she could never return to her children again", he responded with "If Joe Biden wins...". They had our case for 6 weeks and accomplished nothing but heartaches. Our attorney now had the case 6 weeks and fought and won in 2 different county courts for us, a criminal and an immigration case. Today - we have our family member home and in an even better legal position than she ever was. All this to say - Vickers and Rose destroyed our trust in attorneys, but God sent the right person to fight for us, to win, and to restore our hope and trust. If you do hire these people and they destroy you (I hope it's not the case), don't give up!! Someone out there can and will fight for you!!

I called around and spoke to quite a few attorneys in town for advice after my mom died. Richard was the most timely, knowledgeable and friendly attorney that I came across. I was very impressed by his professionalism and promptness when it came to a time sensitive matter. I definitely recommend him to anyone I know and I will absolutely reach out to him if I need assistance in the future!

Tim Clancy is, hands down, the best lawyer! I was charged with a DWI and was referred to Tim. I was scared, nervous, and so clueless as to how my life was going to be and how the court process worked. After having my consultation, I immediately felt better and had hope that things would be ok. Tim explained the process and advised me to get started on some of the things the court requires. The outcome of my case was better than I could have ever expected! He is knowledgeable, kind, patient, reponds in a timely manner, and wants the best outcome for any client. I am beyond grateful for having Tim in my corner and highly recommend him!

He thinks a brain injured person doesnt deserve from him any manners, zero respect, they deserve to be treated like they are always acting badly to justify him doing things such as doing absolutely nothing for me for months on end followed by him launching into verbal assault mode against me simply because to him, a brain injured person doesnt deserve the time of day, or to be cared about in any way at all. He literally claimed me asking for mutual respect and offering to apologize for any bad behavior on my end as long as he returned it to me for his own misdoings as being “verbal harassment”. Nobody deserves to be treated the way he treats me. If i ask you to apologize that is not verbal harassment you jerk

I felt compelled to write this review today due to how valuable their service is. The law office of Anderson Simmons has helped me with my debt claim case immeasurably. This law firm knows all of the Texas debt laws inside and out. They know how things are going to go and what the tactics normally are. They know the usual players. They are trustworthy and they their price was extremely more than fair. They will hand it to you straight and let you decide. I hope not to get into this bind again but if I do, I will 100% rely on this law firm.

They literally never answer their phones or sms. law must be a hobby and not a career. They represented my fiance and rarely responded to me, and then i attempted to rehire them, because they are already familiar with the case, and we need paperwork handled to lower his sentence, Ive been calling for 3 days, and still no response. Just lazy. I think ill stick to New York lawyers. I wouldn’t recommend.

This a review for both my previous attorney who operates out of this office, and Waller himself. I was discriminated against based on disability and veteran status. I’m looking forward to resolving this matter directly, as opposed to pursing action through the Texas State Bar and civil litigation. Please contact me, Diamond. Thanks!

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.

Thursday, April 16, 2015 Mr. Myers, I'm writing this letter to formally thank you for representing me. When I came to you; I was 3 plus years into a case that felt like it would never end, I had what I thought was the best legal representation but learned very quickly that wasn’t the case. I cannot thank you enough for meeting with me and taking my case over. I quickly learned my former attorney did little to nothing on the matter. Let me not go without saying you took this case knowing you had to be ready for trial in 30 days. You were kind and worked with me on a fee payment that was reasonable. Because of your thorough and relentless advocacy, of taking my case I had fast results that led to the case being dismissed! I want to thank you for your education, and guidance, for your understanding, your interest in me, your belief that I was worth being your client. You always stayed in contact with me to keep me up to date on the most current information in regards to my case, which is praise for your legal skills - but you made an impression on me that softened the stress and encouraged me to stand up for the truth. I am a stronger, better person - optimistic and confident because you were my attorney, and finally feel like my voice was heard. Most of all the day I got the call it was being dismissed. I broke down into tears of joy. This has been so hard on my family. Because of you; my husband and I have our life back. I am so thankful to you for this. Sincerely, Jennifer

Bristol Myers was a great lawyer. From day one he informed me of all my options and steps I would need to take for each one. He was honest, direct and sensitive to my situation. He gave his advise and got me a great deal. I would recommend his services to anyone in my shoes.

Bristol was able to get my case dismissed! He was much more affordable than Bruce Fox, and on top of that he was very personal, he even remembered my birthday. He kept me informed on all the legal proceedings and if there was ever a change in court dates he notified me right away.

Nathan represented me last year. He would come see me before court and say one thing, seemed to do a 180 once we went before the judge. He seemed intimidated once we made it to court. After the final hearing, he never once came to see me to explain anything. Ended up having to do a three-way call with my wife just to get some answers, which obviously waived any sort of attorney-client privilege. He seemed distracted and like he didn't follow through with things. I saw guys I was locked up with with court appointed attorneys making more effort than this guy did. After multiple calls to him to try to get things done, I ended up doing them myself and had a 200% better outcome than when I had this guy fighting my battles.

08 Apr, 2019 by Anonymous

I didn’t have much hope on my case, it was quite frustrating. Met Nathan through mutual friends and he turned everything around. He makes results happen. He was very professional and quick as well when my other lawyer(who shall not be named) took forever and produced no results. I wished I hired Nathan sooner. Highly recommend.

Nathan Mays is an exceptional lawyer. His extensive knowledge for the law and his ability to help his client goes above and beyond. He has helped me with my case and got me the best possible outcome. If you need a reliable truth worthy lawyer then call Nathan Mays you won’t be disappointed.

Hired Craig for my DWI case and won. He saved my life and my job and would recommend his service.

13 Jan, 2017 by Anonymous

Craig is one of the finest criminal defense attorneys around. He's incredibly courteous and makes himself readily available to his clients. He has a case management software program that lets you correspond with him via messaging (super convenient). This is great because the same system sends you notifications for your hearings dates & times, scheduled conference calls/meetings and updates in the status of your case. Even if Craig is in trial, I almost always receive same day answers to my questions that I submit to him. Moreover, Craig is a fantastic litigator who not only knows the law, he connects to the judge and juries. He is very personable and there is no doubt in my mind that he is fighting for me in every possible way. Craig is a true trial lawyer, not one of those attorneys that tries to plea out your case so he can be done with you. If you’re charged with a crime, the legal process can be a scary. By hiring Craig, I could have not made a better choice with whom to trust my freedom!

03 Feb, 2016 by Sarah

He has done everything possible with my case in helping me with information, paying, and doing the most and best he can for it with the situations and outcome!! He listened to me and my s/o when we first met to talk about it. I was absolutely sick and terrified at first and he has eased a lot of my stress and tension with how he is professional and courteous! He makes your feel comfortable each and every time you speak to him or see him; he makes time for you if you feel the need to ask question about anything. I've already told several people about him and will continue!!!!

We utilized Don Kaiser, and Kaiser Sacco, PLLC, for significant business litigation - to include negotiation, and then to result in a full trial-based lawsuit experience. They were and are the most impressive firm we have ever been able to utilize. We were extremely fortunate. I highly recommend them for others, if in similar business/partnership dissolution /health law.contracts/breach of fiduciary duty, and specifically for jury trial (s).

A few years back, I was fairly new to the US and I had received a legal notice. I didn't know what to do. So, I started searching online and I contacted some attorneys. I think Ellen was the first one to respond if not the only one. After I provided all the details, she took the time to explain me all the next steps, she answered all my questions and later when the litigation became bigger, she represented me all the way till the end of the case. It was great working with Ellen. She always patiently heard and answered all my questions/concerns and it was always easy to contact her via phone or email. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an attorney.

I cannot recommend Richard Cheng highly enough! Navigating healthcare law can be complex, but he made the process so much easier for us. Richard was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and always had our best interests at heart. He took the time to explain each step, answer all our questions, and provide clear guidance. His expertise and dedication to protecting healthcare rights truly put our minds at ease. If you need a healthcare attorney who genuinely cares and will go above and beyond, Richard is the one to call!

Richard has been our attorney at two healthcare companies and has been a vital member of the startup and maintenance of our protocols and policies. He is always available, professional and helpful.

The office is very inviting with amazing staff that were wonderful through the entire process. I needed a consultation for an employment contract. Mr. Rivas was very professional and thoroughly went through the contract with me. He took the time to ensure that every part of the contract was reviewed and gave his recommendations for necessary revisions. He was available for any follow up questions during the entire process. Truly a wonderful experience. Highly recommend.

Very rude staff that won't follow the law

20 Dec, 2022 by Chance turner

terribly rude staff, gives you the run around constantly, the attorney Thomas Sellers will even interrupt and hang up on you when you’re trying to clarify the debt and what you’re needing. I was told to further my “reading comprehension” and that he “doesn’t care” about my questions. He proceeded to tell me how good I had it with the debt, even though we’re still negotiating it. You sure would think they could answer some questions in trade of a 1 lump sum payment. He went on to explain how I could get around the $3000 court fee, yet any other basic question I asked, I was talked over or told that’d be legal advice.

Todd Durden took the time to look through every aspect of every possibly for my case. Knowledgeable and experienced. I would refer and recommend him just as he was to me after success on a relatives case. Prepared and ready to follow though, more so than expected from any other legal representation. I had consulted with other lawyers as well.

I hired Mr. Durden to handle the revision of my possession and child support. Mr. Durden's showed genuine concern and understanding of the situation and did a great job of keeping the process moving. On several occasions my ex wife's attorney attempted to delay or extend the process, Mr. Durden handled the situation and was able to get me full custody and termination of child support. Mr. Durden is very knowledgeable in the law and I highly recommend him for child custody and child support.

Just spoke to this law firm, I would not reconnect this law firm. Stay far away. Their first duty is to the court, if a judge tells any one of their lawyers not to wear a certain suit again they will bend over backwards. Their duty is not in the best interest of the child but to the court first! Do not hire this firm, they will not argue your case in court. They will let the judge violate your rights and help them do it. When I heard this from their attorney during the consultation I immediately asked where is the duty to your client and the best interest of the child? She hung up. When a lawyers says their first duty is to the court that means you should run! Don’t be to quick to hire an attorney, look around ask questions because lawyers like these will backstab their clients!

I can't express how grateful I am to Valerie for her exceptional legal representation. She was incredibly patient and kept me informed every step of the way, making sure I understood the process and felt supported. Throughout my case, she was not only professional and knowledgeable but also genuinely sweet and caring. She truly believed in me, and because of her dedication and expertise, my case was dismissed. If you're looking for a lawyer who will go above and beyond for you, Valerie Hedlund is the one to trust. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal assistance.

I was arrested on 3 felonies in TX(I don’t live there) during the height of Covid in 2020. I called a few lawyers but Brock Benjamin took time to listen, then went over how he would defend me. He has roots & lots of experience in El Paso. He did a thorough investigation of the facts and communicated every detail with me. Whenever I was in doubt or scared or confused, I’d call him & he never sent me to voicemail. It took 4 long years from start to end of my case. Bryan Herrera, took over my case about midway through(Brock is a busy guy & state hadn’t picked up my case 2 1/2yrs in!)& he is nothing short of amazing also! Bryan kept me informed & got me thru anxiety attacks, breakdowns & never was mean or frustrated with my endless questions & concerns. In the end, I didn’t go to prison. State dropped 2 felonies & I plead guilty to 1. I got probation and completed all conditions 6 months into probation. I was able to end my probation time 1 1/2 yrs early! They may not be the most inexpensive attorneys, but when you’re faced with felonies that carry sentences up to 99yrs, is bargain shopping really in your best interest? I’m happy my case is resolved and would recommend Brock Benjamin Law office to anyone who needs a lawyer who knows what they’re doing and will fight for you.

Mr. Briones is a generic result attorney that totally got annihilated in court JP3 04/13/21 He was representing my family members in a civil suit and even got their name incorrect. Briones was unprepared and tried to scam Judge Wentworth into believing that only one person was on a deed to a home in dispute as if the other ex spouse was not on the deed at all. When the Judge called him out in it, Briones stumbled in his words saying he misunderstood. Briones did not even have the divorce Decree with him that literally won the case for the opponent . He told the Judge he did not know what was on it and got annihilated once again when the Judge had the copy of the decree and told him that his name was on it. He had signed it, yet had pretended he was unaware of the stipulations on it that favored the opponent and the case was lost for Briones. I believe the Judge could see through Briones right away and his credentials were immediately lost. This attorney is exactly the kind of attorney to avoid.

I went to see Mr. Briones for a consultation in December of last year. My ex wife was moving to Laredo and taking our son to go live over there. I asked Mr. Briones for help and he recommended that we file for a modification to have my son come live me with and not have to go to Laredo. It seemed impossible and I never thought I would have a chance but Mr. Briones was very certain that we could fight for this. I didn't have very much money to pay for a retainer so he asked for a little up front and put me on a payment plan. We went to court a few times and at the last hearing we won. My son now lives with me full time and I couldn't ask for a better lawyer on my side then Ricardo Briones.

Mr. Briones was an amazing lawyer who helped me with my case. He let me know what my best choices were and talked each option out with me. He knows what he’s doing and if I’m ever trouble again, I will ask for his help again.

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.

What a Federal Crime Lawyer Can Do for You

A federal crime lawyer specializes in defending individuals or organizations accused of violating federal laws. These lawyers have experience navigating the complex federal criminal justice system, which includes higher penalties, stricter sentencing guidelines, and a different court system than state-level crimes. Federal crime lawyers defend clients against a wide range of charges, such as drug trafficking, white-collar crimes, fraud, conspiracy, gun violations, and more. They assist in every phase of the legal process, from investigation to trial and appeals, ensuring their clients' rights are protected.

If you’re facing federal criminal charges, a federal crime lawyer can provide the necessary defense and expertise to navigate the complexities of federal law and achieve the best possible outcome.

When Should I Hire a Federal Crime Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a federal crime lawyer in any situation where you are under investigation or have been charged with a federal crime. Key scenarios include:

Charged with a federal crime: If you’ve been charged with a federal offense, such as drug trafficking, wire fraud, money laundering, or conspiracy, hiring a federal crime lawyer is essential to ensure your defense is tailored to federal court procedures and laws.
Target of a federal investigation: If you are being investigated by federal agencies like the FBI, DEA, ATF, or IRS, it’s crucial to retain a lawyer early on. A lawyer can help you avoid self-incrimination and build a defense strategy to counter the investigation.
White-collar crimes: If you’ve been accused of federal white-collar crimes such as securities fraud, embezzlement, or insider trading, a lawyer can help defend you against charges brought by federal prosecutors and regulatory agencies like the SEC.
Drug-related charges: If you’re facing federal drug charges, such as possession, distribution, or trafficking of controlled substances, a lawyer can represent you in federal court and negotiate plea deals or challenge the prosecution’s case.
Gun-related offenses: If you’ve been charged with federal gun crimes, including illegal possession, trafficking, or using a firearm during a violent crime, a federal crime lawyer can help defend against harsh federal penalties.
Immigration-related crimes: Federal charges involving immigration violations, such as human trafficking, smuggling, or illegal re-entry after deportation, require specialized legal knowledge of both federal criminal law and immigration law.
Appeals: If you’ve been convicted of a federal crime and are seeking to appeal the conviction or sentence, a federal crime lawyer can assist with the appeals process, focusing on legal errors or issues that may have occurred during the trial.

Hiring a lawyer as soon as you know you are under investigation or charged with a federal crime gives you the best chance of protecting your rights and building a strong defense.

What Does a Federal Crime Lawyer Do?

A federal crime lawyer provides a wide range of legal services to defend individuals and organizations accused of federal crimes. Their responsibilities often include:

Defending clients in federal court: Federal crime lawyers represent clients in all stages of federal criminal proceedings, including pre-trial motions, plea negotiations, trials, and sentencing hearings.
Building a defense strategy: Lawyers thoroughly investigate the charges, review the prosecution’s evidence, and develop a defense strategy tailored to the unique aspects of federal law and sentencing guidelines.
Negotiating plea deals: In some cases, a lawyer may negotiate with federal prosecutors to reduce charges or penalties, potentially avoiding a lengthy trial and reducing sentencing.
Handling federal investigations: If you are the subject of a federal investigation, a lawyer will guide you on how to interact with federal agents, respond to subpoenas, and handle potential interrogations, ensuring your rights are not violated.
Filing pre-trial motions: Federal crime lawyers can file motions to suppress evidence, dismiss charges, or challenge the legality of the investigation or arrest, aiming to weaken the prosecution’s case before trial.
Representing clients in appeals: If you’ve been convicted, a federal crime lawyer can represent you in the appeals process, focusing on legal errors, misconduct, or constitutional issues that may have affected the trial’s outcome.
Managing sentencing and post-conviction matters: Lawyers also help clients during the sentencing phase, arguing for leniency or alternatives to imprisonment, and assist with post-conviction matters such as parole or supervised release violations.

How Are Federal Crime Lawyers Paid?

Federal crime lawyers typically charge for their services in various ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the expected time commitment. Common payment structures include:

Hourly rate: Many federal crime lawyers charge by the hour, with rates typically ranging from $300 to $1,000 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience, the case complexity, and geographic location.
Flat fee: For specific services, such as negotiating a plea deal or representing you during the initial stages of a federal investigation, some lawyers offer a flat fee. Flat fees for federal criminal defense cases often range from $5,000 to $25,000, depending on the scope of the work.
Retainer: In complex federal cases, a lawyer may require a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers a portion of the legal work. The lawyer then bills against this retainer as they work on the case. Retainers typically range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, depending on the case.
Payment plans: Some federal crime lawyers may offer payment plans, especially if the case involves extended litigation or lengthy appeals. This can help make legal fees more manageable over time.

It’s crucial to discuss fees with your lawyer upfront to understand the total cost of representation and how payments will be handled throughout the case.

How Much Does a Federal Crime Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a federal crime lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the time required to resolve the case. General cost estimates include:

Hourly rates: Federal crime lawyers generally charge between $300 and $1,000 per hour. For example, if a lawyer charges $500 per hour and spends 50 hours on your case, the total cost would be $25,000.
Flat fees: For simpler cases, such as negotiating a plea deal, flat fees can range from $5,000 to $25,000 or more, depending on the seriousness of the charges and the lawyer’s experience.
Retainers: In more complex or ongoing cases, a lawyer may require a retainer of $10,000 to $100,000, depending on the case’s scope and complexity.
Appeals: If you’re appealing a federal conviction, legal fees for an appeal can range from $10,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the issues being raised and the length of the appellate process.

In addition to legal fees, you may also need to cover additional costs such as court filing fees, expert witness fees, and investigation expenses.

How to Check the Credibility of a Federal Crime Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable federal crime lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:

Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no disciplinary actions or complaints.
Look for federal crime experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in federal criminal defense and have successfully handled cases like yours.
Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about their experience with the lawyer.
Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on federal cases.
Check for federal court admissions: Make sure the lawyer is admitted to practice in federal court, as federal criminal cases are handled in federal district courts.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a federal crime lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

Information about the charges or investigation: Provide any documents related to the charges against you, such as indictments, subpoenas, or notices of investigation. This helps the lawyer assess the severity of the charges and the potential defense strategy.
Details of previous interactions with federal agents: If federal agents have contacted you or conducted searches, provide a detailed account of those interactions, including search warrants, interrogations, or evidence seized.
Questions about your case: Prepare a list of questions regarding the legal process, potential outcomes, and how the lawyer plans to defend you.
Relevant financial information: If your case involves financial crimes or assets that may be at risk, bring relevant financial records, such as bank statements, business records, or tax returns.
Previous legal history: If you have a prior criminal record or have been involved in federal investigations before, bring details about those cases.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal defense for your federal case.
