Holly is great! My son was facing several felony charges for non-violent pot possession. Thanks to Holly, all felony charges were dropped. He only had to pay a fine and 5 years probation, which will certainly get reduced. She’s a great lawyer who takes a personal interest in her clients. I highly recommend her!

Holly Waltman not only took a professional interest in my criminal case, but she took a personal interest and stood beside me for nine long months reviewing facts and evidence and building a strong defense based upon the facts and the truth. Holly did an outstanding job with her presentations, arguments, and selection of expert witnesses in support of the trial. After a week-long trial and facing Life in Prison, the jury returned a NOT GUILTY verdict on all four felony charges: Rape, Aggravated Sexual Battery, Aggravated Assault, and False Imprisonment. If you are facing criminal charges in the Metro Atlanta Area, look no further, set up an appointment with Holly Waltman, hire her and let her start building your defense now. In closing, Holly believed in me, believed in the truth, and the truth won, and I get to return to my family and friends to enjoy the rest of my life.

Tracy was a God given angel to me and my family. I was charged with false allegations and sent a TPO. After consulting with Tracy, she handled the case and told me to not speak at the hearing. I am normally a very strong willed person, but she went in and got the JOB DONE. I was awarded fees in the hearing. She proved that this plaintiff was a liar and acted upon malicious and retaliatory purposes. Not only did Tracy admonish the plaintiff, the judge did as well given Tracy's arguments' and defense strategy.

My husband at the time literally stole my inheritance. When I confronted him, he attacked me, I fought back and I got charged with battery because he called the cops first. Then he did a a TPO and barred me from seeing my children. With all these charges, Tracy was referred to me by a good friend. Once she was on the case, everything turned in my favor. She was able to give me custody of my kids while I had a TPO on me which never happens. She also got my battery case dismissed. My husband told me he wished she was his attorney and said that will be our family attorney. All I can say was she was a rock when I was at my lowest point and she got me through it. Her knowledge of the criminal justice system and TPOs are amazing. If you hire her, you will not be disappointed.

I was in my cell never been to jail before. I was scared in an unknown space. Disconnected from my world and my freedom I didn’t know what my future was going to be. On rock bottom. I was called for an attorney visit a very energetic bubbly blonde woman with a MCM bag begins to speak to me I automatically felt safe she told me her creditials and I automatically had a little hope. Tracy was humble, fun and energetic. You wouldn’t know how big of a deal she is because she is so humble I can’t come up with any other words to describe her. She got my TPO dismisses between me and my wife she was diplomatic with my in-laws she even came to my divorce hearing to make sure everything was safe. She works tirelessly and ethically. She is a joy for the justice system here in Georgia and you won’t find a better attorney here in Georgia

I called Mr. Hirsch recently to ask for help in a potential fraud case. After spending an hour calling one department of the Atlanta police after the other and getting nowhere, I called Mr. Hirsch in desperation. Even though I am the victim of the fraud and Mr. Hirsch is a defense attorney, he seemed to care greatly for my well being and for my predicament. He provided me with a ton of good information and made me feel better about the terrible situation that I have found myself in. He talked with me for over 30 minutes even though he knew he would not be representing me. It is so nice to find a decent and caring attorney who will try to help when you are in a time of need. I hope that I never need his services, but if I ever do find myself in need of legal help for a mistake I made, the first call I will make with be to Matt Hirsch.

Jeffery Manciagli was a beacon of hope to my best friend and her family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible. He was able to defend her on not one but two criminal cases, he was always available and very responsive no matter what time of day. His calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those I care about most. I am eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr. Manciagli without reservation.

My experience with Jeff Manciagli was nothing short of phenomenal. I contacted Jeff on behalf of a friend that was incarcerated in Fulton County Jail. Prior to this I was totally green as to how the court, and jail systems operate. Jeff walked me through the next steps, as well as provided sound legal advice. Ultimately, my friend's family decided to move in another direction regarding legal representation. The family and myself cannot thank Jeff enough for his responsiveness, genuine concern, patience, and professionalism. It's hard to believe that an attorney as busy as Jeff actually has the time to effectively follow-up, and follow-through with potential clients - but he does. If you are looking for a 5 Star Attorney - Jeff is definitely it !

Sarah is definitely a 5star attorney, I have a federal case out of the southern district of Georgia. She did my direct appeal and oral arguments. We did not win, she fought tooth and nail through the entire process. Her brief allowed me to have a great foundation for the Supreme Court (acquitted conduct), (trial punishment). Without her knowledge of the law and hard work I would never have been able to make it through this corruption of the government. Now congress, sentencing commission and Supreme Court are about to change law on the above issues. After completing my case Sarah continues to help me on any of my legal issues.

I want to take a moment to personally thank you for your unwavering support and tireless effort in handling my DUI less safe case over the past 4 years. The journey was challenging, and at times, it felt like there was no end in sight, especially with the prosecutor refusing to make a deal, despite me being well under the legal limit. However, you never wavered or backed down. Your determination, keen attention to detail, and thorough understanding of the law were evident every step of the way. Throughout the trial, you fought for us with incredible skill and dedication, never missing a beat. We could not have asked for a more capable and compassionate lawyer on our side. Thanks to your hard work, we were able to win the case and finally put this ordeal behind us. We will forever be grateful for everything you’ve done for our family. Thank you again for taking on our case and for fighting so fiercely for us. We are incredibly thankful for you and the Lawson Firm

I had a very positive experience working with Kalka Law Group (Caroline) as my personal injury attorney. She was incredibly detail-oriented, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything in layman's terms, which made the process much easier to understand. What stood out the most was her excellent communication. Caroline kept me updated at every stage of the process and made sure I understood our options before making any decisions. She thoroughly explained the potential outcomes, both positive and negative, which made me feel confident in the choices we made together. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with Caroline (and her team) and the outcome of my case. Highly recommend!!!

My son was on his motorcycle, waiting to make a left turn and was hit from behind by a car. He was taken by ambulance to the hospital where he had injuries to his skull ,some brain bleed As well as other injuries... That is what prompted us to obtain an attorney, for potential medical fees and loss of wages.. Most of everything could be done online or via email. In a very scary, chaotic time in my son's life, this made it a lot easier.. We were not treated like one of the many cases.. We were treated like someone who was there to help us.

He talked to me for over an hour, plus was able to meet with me in person. I highly recommend Mr. Lubin as he was able to drop my racing charge and I just had to pay a fine. He walked me through everything in the court room and we had the best possible outcome. It was very comfortable having him represent me.

My name is Antonio Rogers and it is a honor to write this review for Attorney Tonya Shy who represented me. I'm from Louisiana and while visiting family I was involved in a auto accident where I was rear ended by another motorist and I was injured. I did my research on attorneys in Atlanta and after reading the positive reviews I selected Attorney Shy to handle my case. Throughout the entire process Attorney Shy and her team kept me well informed. Being a former claims adjuster and retired law-enforcement office I knew that attorney Shy was very knowledgeable and the right attorney to represent me. She was at all time very patient but diligent regarding my auto accident case. Attorney Shy and her team made me feel like family and she settled my claim and I was very satisfied with the outcome. I highly recommend Attorney Shy to anyone that needs representation because she is simply the best. Thank You Attorney Shy for all you do.

My ex-wife and I hired Grossman to defend our son who caught a ride from some questionable people in you from Pensacola to Atlanta where I live. He was asleep in the backseat of the car when he was rudely woken to being in the middle of a high-speed chase from the police. The driver and his wife were throwing drugs out the window my son was telling them the whole time to pull over and to let him out. Of course they were all arrested and drugs were confiscated picked up alongside the road along with some weapons and other items. None of the evidence that was picked up had my son's fingerprints on it or DNA or any physical connection to him. And yet my son is now sentenced to almost 30 years in a federal prison thanks to the inability of Grossman to object to things like the video of the car chase. Why was that even submitted into evidence when he was in the backseat of sleep. The wife of the driver even said that in a recorded statement. She also said a bunch of other stuff that went along with my son's side of the story and yet no one but Grossman could have gotten him almost 30 years and a federal prison. Now I know Christmas is going to have a response to this and how he did everything he could and what I'm saying is not true. Well if anybody's lying it's him. I'm not calling him a liar but if he contradicts what I'm saying then he's lying. Don't waste your money on Richard Grossman.

What a Sex Crime Lawyer Can Do for You

A sex crime lawyer specializes in defending individuals accused of sexual offenses, which can include charges such as sexual assault, rape, indecent exposure, child pornography, solicitation, and other related crimes. Being charged with a sex crime carries severe legal and social consequences, including potential imprisonment, mandatory registration as a sex offender, fines, and long-term stigma. A sex crime lawyer has the expertise to navigate the complex legal system, protect your rights, and develop a strategic defense to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.

When Should I Hire a Sex Crime Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a sex crime lawyer immediately if:

  • You are under investigation: If law enforcement contacts you for questioning or you become aware that you are a suspect in a sex crime investigation, it's crucial to seek legal representation before speaking with authorities.
  • You have been arrested or charged: Promptly hiring a lawyer upon arrest or formal charges allows for early intervention in your case, which can be critical for your defense.
  • Searches and seizures have occurred: If your property, such as your home or electronic devices, has been searched or seized in connection with a sex crime investigation, a lawyer can help protect your rights.
  • You are facing related legal issues: If you're dealing with restraining orders, custody disputes, or other legal matters stemming from the allegations, a lawyer can provide comprehensive legal support.

What Does a Sex Crime Lawyer Do?

A sex crime lawyer provides a range of legal services to defend and support you throughout the legal process:

  • Legal consultation and advice: They will explain the charges against you, outline your rights, and advise you on the best course of action.
  • Case investigation: The lawyer will conduct a thorough investigation, gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and identifying inconsistencies or weaknesses in the prosecution's case.
  • Defense strategy development: They will develop a tailored defense strategy, which may include challenging the credibility of evidence, disputing the legality of how evidence was obtained, or presenting alternative explanations.
  • Negotiating with prosecutors: Your lawyer can negotiate plea bargains or reduced charges when appropriate, aiming to minimize potential penalties.
  • Court representation: They will represent you in all court proceedings, including hearings, trials, and sentencing, advocating on your behalf.
  • Protecting your rights: The lawyer ensures that your constitutional rights are upheld throughout the legal process, including protection against unlawful searches, coerced confessions, or violations of due process.
  • Post-trial assistance: If necessary, they can assist with appeals, sentence modifications, or matters related to sex offender registration.

How Are Sex Crime Lawyers Paid?

Sex crime lawyers typically charge for their services in one of the following ways:

  • Hourly rate: Charging an hourly fee for the time spent working on your case. Rates can vary widely based on the lawyer's experience and location.
  • Flat fee: A set amount that covers specific services or the entirety of your case, which can provide cost predictability.
  • Retainer fee: An upfront payment from which the lawyer deducts hourly fees and expenses as they work on your case. You may need to replenish the retainer if it is exhausted.
  • Payment plans: Some lawyers offer payment arrangements to make their services more affordable over time.

It's important to discuss payment structures and fees during your initial consultation to understand the financial commitment involved.

How Much Does a Sex Crime Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a sex crime lawyer depends on various factors, including the complexity of the case, the severity of the charges, and the lawyer's experience. General cost estimates are:

  • Hourly rates: Typically range from $200 to $500 or more per hour.
  • Flat fees: For less complex cases, flat fees might range from $5,000 to $25,000.
  • Total costs: Complex cases involving extensive investigation or a trial can cost $25,000 to $100,000 or more.
  • Additional costs: May include expert witness fees, investigative expenses, and court fees.

Always request a detailed fee agreement and discuss potential additional costs to avoid unexpected expenses.

Top Questions to Ask a Sex Crime Lawyer

  1. What experience do you have handling sex crime cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has a strong background in defending against the specific charges you are facing.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure and get an estimate of the total cost involved.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect for my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment, including best-case and worst-case scenarios.
  4. What is your approach to defending sex crime charges?
    Learn about the strategies they might employ and how they plan to handle your defense.
  5. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates and availability.
  6. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understand the challenges you may face and how the lawyer plans to address them.
  7. How long do you expect the legal process to take?
    Get an estimated timeline based on the specifics of your case.

How to Check the Credibility of a Sex Crime Lawyer

  • Verify their license: Ensure the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state's bar association.
  • Experience and specialization: Look for a lawyer who specializes in criminal defense with a focus on sex crime cases.
  • Client reviews and testimonials: Research online reviews or ask for references to learn about other clients' experiences.
  • Professional memberships: Membership in organizations like the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL) can indicate a commitment to the field.
  • Disciplinary record: Check for any past disciplinary actions or complaints filed against the lawyer.
  • Consultation feedback: Use the initial consultation to assess their communication style, professionalism, and confidence in handling your case.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a sex crime lawyer, bring the following:

  • Detailed account of events: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, locations, and any conversations.
  • Legal documents: Bring all documents related to your case, such as:
    • Arrest records
    • Charging documents
    • Bail paperwork
    • Search warrants
    • Any correspondence from law enforcement or the court
  • Witness information: Provide names and contact information of any potential witnesses who can support your defense.
  • Evidence: Bring any physical evidence or records that may be relevant, such as emails, text messages, or social media interactions.
  • List of questions: Prepare questions about your case, the legal process, and the lawyer's experience.
  • Honesty: Be prepared to discuss all details openly and honestly; attorney-client privilege ensures confidentiality.
  • Goals and objectives: Be clear about what you hope to achieve, whether it's dismissing charges, reducing penalties, or addressing registration as a sex offender.

By being thoroughly prepared, you enable the lawyer to assess your situation effectively and provide the best possible legal advice tailored to your case.
