Life is good, your career is prosperous, you’re loved by your kid, you’re grateful to life for a promising future, then you receive that appalling phone call. Someone is telling you that you’re being investigated by the police, falsely accused of the worst crime you can imagine, and that you must call a lawyer. And you’re advised to contact Attorney Rick Lougee.
That happened to me, it may be happening to you as you read this, and I was very fortunate to get Lougee’s name. I’m the living case-dismissed proof that hiring Rick Lougee is the right decision when your entire life is in jeopardy.
Always keep in mind Lougee’s principle: You never talk to the police. Throughout my case, sadly, I realized that the police’s investigation is sloppy, they’re lazy in finding facts, the prosecution is ideologically contaminated (e.g. #MeToo), and sometimes, like in my case, rigged.
Rick Lougee assembles an effective and unshakable investigative team for all his cases. For my case, they started working almost immediately. In a matter of a couple of weeks, they revealed the facts that would in time form the foundation for my innocence. They dug deeper than the prosecution during the discovery process, and they found a considerable number of facts and police reports that should have persuaded any police detective to take a closer look at what was going on in the accusers’ house in the first place. But remember, in today’s environment, if you’re accused, you are guilty until proven otherwise. Lougee was determined to demonstrate my full innocence and systematically rejected any proposal of a plea bargain from the prosecution. We agreed that we will go all the way for our battle at trial.
From my experience, Lougee operates using three strategies: He is brashly honest and clear with you about the difficulties of the case. He strategizes with a military mind, planning always under the worst scenarios. He puts extreme care to the detail of law’s fundamentals in his motions, executing the defense brilliantly and effectively in court. I was fortunate to see Rick fighting for me in court. I saw him delivering at least two Perry Mason moments for my case.
My case was complicated by the conundrums of the pandemic, which caused a long waiting process. The nature of my case involved false memories of abuse. Lougee undertook a careful and thoughtful search for the best expert witness from very prestigious academic institution. He covered all the corners of my case, never underestimated the prosecution, and never left my case to the odds. We were ready for trial.
In a fortunate change of events and new information, Lougee discovered a pattern in the police detectives in charge; they were secretly coaching the accusers to provide favorable evidence for the prosecution. And in a most disgraceful act, the police department destroyed all the evidence that we know existed. This triggered the dismissal of my case.
During all my predicament journey of my case, I felt confident that Rick would use all his experience and talents to destroy the prosecution’s case in order to save me from a terrible fate. My confidence was based on Rick’s experience. He has an extensive list of cases that demonstrate he never is afraid of how big the case or the prosecution is. He has been in David vs Goliath situations. He has historical cases featured in newspapers and magazines like The New Yorker, or you can find his cases in academic books on criminal law. But that’s the last thing he cares about. He is focused on beating the prosecution case, but most importantly, he cares about demonstrating your innocence. He will fight for you, call him.

I found myself being accused of something that was not true and Mr. Lougee took the time to hear my case and with an investigator supplied the evidence to clear my name. I am forever thankful to Mr. Lougee and will recommend him to anyone that needs legal help.

I was falsely accused of two sexual felonies and was facing 17 to 39 years in prison. That amount of time would equate to life in prison for crimes I never commited. My life was coming apart and because the system is heavily stacked against the defendant, I was almost hopeless. We hired Rick Lougee because of his reputation as an outstanding attorney and his over 40 years of experience working difficult cases, especially sex related cases in multiple states. He took my case and immediately, between his investigators and his team, began to build the case proving that the charges were unfounded. He was very honest with me about what to expect and always prepared me for the next step. He was also very empathetic and understood on a gut level what I was going through being unjustly accused of a terrible crime. I am a multiple tour combat veteran and it is no exaggeration to say that this situation was the most terrifying of my life. Rick’s experience and knowledge of the law, law enforcement officers, prosecutors and CPS officials was unquestionable and invaluable. He had the BEST investigators and colleagues working hard and diligently preparing our defense and was, at all times, straightforward and professional. Rick’s team built such a strong case that the Prosecutors did not feel that the case should even go before the Grand Jury and, therefore, the charges were dismissed. From a possible 39 years in prison to the prosecutor’s decision not to indict was the worst rollercoaster ride of my and my family’s lives. Even after the case was dismissed, Rick provided us with counsel on possible complications and how to move forward with our lives. I am forever grateful that we found Rick and his team. It is not hyperbole to say that he and his team saved my life. I would highly recommend Mr. Lougee to anyone facing serious criminal allegations. He is literally the best of the best!

I was in an early morning car accident with a Sheriff and didn't know what to do. I called Cindy at about 2:30am and she immediately answered the phone. She provided me comfort in my moment of severe stress and confusion along with clear guidance on how to handle my situation with the police. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't spoken to Cindy that morning. I can't begin to thank her enough. I recommend Cindy to anyone needing legal advice. Thank you so much Cindy!

David’s law expertise is truly unmatched. He gets things done and delivers exactly what he promises. I was accused of severe charges I did not commit and felt so helpless. Having the law against you with such small odds can make you feel so anguished. David assured me and my family that I’d be home with my name cleared and here I am writing this review to bear witness of his expertise. He’s extremely thorough, professional, and compassionate. He treats you like family and is well prepared from having plan A-Z. I am a free man because of David Bednar and I am grateful for him and his team. I recommend him to anyone that needs a great lawyer.

We tirelessly searched the internet for a lawyer for our son and we are so glad that we found Cornelia! My husband and I live in Pennsylvania so we're we're nervous about coordinating our son's legal defense from such a distance. Ms. Honchar made it easy. She is tough, down to earth and gave us our chances right from the get go. She called and emailed us every step of the way even spending 2+ hours on the phone with me just for the consultation. When I hung up the phone, I knew we had our lawyer. Our son was facing multiple felony charges and walked out of the courtroom today with probation. She even argued our case and convinced the judge to let us bring our son home with us on parole. I can not say enough about how she took us under her wing and guided us through every appearance and paperwork and all the other details that came our way. She is worth every penny!!

My name is Mary, and I am writing this review to let anyone who is in need of an excellent lawyer Ms Cornelia will not disappoint you. We hired her in a self defense case for my son he was charged with 4 aggravated assaults, all felonies it was a very hard time in our lives, not knowing the law or what to do. Ms Cornelia was a godsend to us she is a compassionate caring person, my son was facing up to 30 years he is 22 so that was devastating to us. My son was determined to go to trial and Ms Cornelia felt confident he could win the case, but again if he lost hence the 30 years or more!! Words could never express what this wonderful woman did for my son. At some point of him being in jail he was threatened by other inmates and put in what they call the towers very traumatic for him and us his parents and siblings, there is absolutely nothing you can do!! Totally helpless feeling, Well she got him out of solitary confinement and transferred to another what they call pods, He did well for the rest of the time he was there. To anyone who reads this, Ms Cornelia is a lawyer you want standing by your side, To end this we decided not to go for trial, not because we did'nt trust her but for the fact that if he lost, well she got him a plea of 3.5 yrs with 1 yr credit. We will forever remember her in our hearts!!!!

Cornelia Honchar is a fabulous lawyer. She is so kind and nonjudgemental. She will work tirelessly, any hour of the day to make sure she has done the most she can for you. She doesn't treat you just like a "criminal" but more like a friend, and will listen to you, in hopes to get the best results possible. I would recommend her to anyone needing a criminal defense lawyer. If you want someone on your side, she's your gal.

We hired Mr. Whitmer to represent a family member in a criminal case. While many attorneys demand a hefty fee upfront, Henry met with our family member for a minimal fee to explain to them what their options were. Henry was professional and provided timely responses to all of our questions. He walked us through everything step-by-step. In addition, he was kind and always asked how we were all doing. He worked hard to try and get the very best outcome for our family member and we are very grateful for that. Henry was basically an answer to a prayer during a very difficult time. If you are ever in need of a good defense attorney, we highly recommend him!

Mr. Witmer went above and beyond in helping my son win his court case. My son and I are grateful to Attorney Whitmer for everything he did for us and always kept in contact with us throughout the legal process. Attorney Whitmer pulled no punches and never promised anything to us except his diligent and earnest work on the case and he is a man of his word. He is honest and trustworthy and should we ever have legal issues in the future, Attorney Whitmer will be our go-to attorney. As a caveat, he would make an excellent judge for this county.
Thank you

In my experience, this attorney is a gem. Mrs Molnar is knowledgeable and determined, and she is so dedicated. without her, I would be up for deportation but she was so Vigilant and thorough that without her my situations would not have gotten resolved, and I would have a lot of problems. However, thanks to her, I can move on with my life and focus on being a better person. I highly recommend anyone with any legal problems to hire her she will fight for you, and she will make sure that you get the best outcome. There should be no other choice. Choosing her would be lucky for the client, and it would certainly guarantee the best outcome.

Jason D. Lamn is an outstanding attorney who excels beyond any means to fight for the rights of his clientele. He is undoubtedly the most experienced of his occupation unparalleled to most. I myself was overwhelmed with the terminology of the court systems often times losing myself trying to decipher the content. When I arrived at the office and explained my situation Jason was able to breakdown how we were going to proceed to achieve the best possible resolution. I walked out of his office feeling relieved, I knew at that moment I was in the best possible hands.

I can’t thank Feldman Royle enough for their outstanding work on my case. From my very first meeting with Bret Royle and David Ernest Ahl, I knew I was in excellent hands. They took the time to listen, reassure me, and thoroughly walk me through each step of the process.
Throughout the entire ordeal, the team was incredibly organized, responsive, and supportive—always keeping me informed without overwhelming me with unnecessary details. Their dedication and expertise ultimately led to a successful resolution of my case, and I’m grateful beyond words.
If you’re looking for lawyers who genuinely care, are highly knowledgeable, and will fight tirelessly for you, I highly recommend the Feldman Royle team. Their professionalism and compassion set them apart, and they truly are the gold standard in legal defense.

Was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor. I have used Elizabeth two times before, both cases were dismissed. She happened to be out of the country when this latest unfortunate event occurred, but she still managed to call me and she will be representing again. Call me unlucky, or maybe just in the wrong place at the wrong time, or maybe I just need to move away from my crazy neighbor. Elizabeth is an aggressive criminal attorney that can control a court room with ease.

I had some issues with DPS showing incorrect information in their system which was preventing me from obtaining a firearm and from getting my passport reinstated. Elizabeth review the files and submitted a very detailed and thorough appeal to DPS which made them revise my records and clear up my history. If you want someone that know her business and pay attention to detail, hire Elizabeth.

We had the very positive experience of working with Elizabeth to defend our son's case. She was excellent at representing our son and providing us with concrete suggestions along the way.
Our biggest mistake was not engaging Elizabeth earlier to get guidance from the start. Elizabeth's strategy and guidance was able to greatly improve the outcome.

This place and this group are the best people you will ever meet in your life because they understand your problem and find a smart solution to any problem. Their treatment is very good and their interest in you makes you feel like you are the only one they work for and they make things very easy for you. I advise everyone who is reading now to go to Attorney Eric without thinking twice. When I lost all hope in my case, I resorted to Attorney Eric, and he restored my hope and actually got my rights, and I am very grateful to him.

I just to say how grateful to have the opportunity to become a resident thanks to Maria Jones Law Firm. Anything is possible no matter where you come from or who you are, with this opportunity I will be able to continue chasing my dreams and hopefully get to help others like my dad who in dialysis or those who are sick.

I was in the worst kind of trouble possible. My very best friend and I are both veterans. I served in the Marines and he was an Army Ranger. My friend asked me to hand him his gun which we both believed was not loaded. After I handed it to him it went off and killed him unexpectedly. I was in shock and did my best to recount the incident with the police. The State placed undue additional burdens on me in relation to the incident based upon my military background and charged me with manslaughter. If you find yourself in legal trouble, the best decision you can make is to hire Bruce Blumberg. Bruce is a fantastic attorney and expert in trial. He handles all aspects of your case so you can relax with no need to micromanage. You will feel like family with him representing you, he truly cares about his clients. I can attest to his abilities. He utilized experts to explore every avenue for my case and he did not feel in good conscious that I could take a plea based upon the facts of the incident and evidence so we went to trial. He won an acquittal on my manslaughter case. There’s nobody I trust more in court than Bruce Blumberg. Please hire Bruce if you find yourself needing an expert attorney, you will not be disappointed.

I don’t recommend her. She made me cry during two different phone calls with her. I thought she was supposed to be representing me. She told me it’s my fault I chose my ex to be the father of my children. She wouldn’t allow me to have opinions…I had to agree to things my ex wanted because she refused to fight for me. We lost my case in court after consulting with 6 attorneys, before I finally chose her, all whom told me I would win in court. Her attorney assistant did a better job than she did. I was very disappointed and didn’t feel that she fought for me at all.

My ex relocated to the state of Arizona. Shortly after her relocation, my son was removed from her custody by DFS. I had to fly to Arizona from Kansas and hire an attorney (Kina Harding) to remove my son from the states custody and allow him to return with me to Kansas. Kina knew exactly what needed to happen, and how to go about doing it. She responded to every email and phone call almost immediately, and kept me well informed throughout the process. I was back in Kansas a week after hiring her, thank you Kina!
