Varinia is a force to be reckoned with. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and experience leave no question that you are being represented by the best attorney in the area. I've consulted with and hired multiple attornies in the past and after choosing Varinia Van Ness as my recent representation the only regret I have is not consulting with her sooner. Varinia far exceeded my expectations and is undoubtedly the best attorney to go with based on my experience.

Nayib was hired as my Attourney for my criminal case in 2019. Throughout my whole case he has been very helpful, professional and positive he has always helped me do what was best in my interest. My case ended on a positive note thanks to Nayib. For two years Nayib has given my situation his all and stood by my side. I highly recommend him for any and all criminal cases you will not regret it.

I must say that Jacob has reconciled me with trusting justice, especially in Florida. I wish I had known Jacob when my husband and I were looking for a lawyer in 2013. I had lost trust in the law and justice in 2017 after witnessing a masquerade in Miami. Both my husband and myself have been really deeply affected. I know now, should I need representation, who I'll be calling. The Florida judicial system needs more lawyers like Jacob and his partner Chris Kaigle.

Jacob Stuart represented me in a lengthy state attorney investigation of alleged criminal wrongdoing by elected officials. I have felt extremely fortunate to have an attorney with the skills, knowledge, and professionalism Jacob brought to the table. He was very understanding and supportive throughout the process as he studied evidence, conferred with me, and communicated with the state attorney. He fully supported my decision not to plea to baseless charges, and was well-prepared to go to court when the state finally decided not to pursue the case. Although the situation was stressful, having Jacob on my side was immensely reassuring and encouraging. He made himself available to quickly respond to questions or concerns, and could be easily reached by text or e-mail. His fees were very reasonable for the work he did on my behalf. If I ever need legal help again, I will definitely call on Jacob.

“Exceeds expectations” does not even begin to capture the stellar work that Mr. Aiken has done for my family! With utmost compassion, expertise, and professionalism, Mr. Aiken provided exceptional legal advice and courtroom representation, managing to simultaneously prepare us for multiple possible outcomes while keeping us cautiously optimistic–he then delivered the best realistic outcome possible under the circumstances. Mr. Aiken was the second attorney whom we saw for consultation before choosing an attorney. The first attorney dismissed most of the background and context information as “irrelevant” and went right to the top two worst-case scenarios. That other attorney was also hard to get a hold of and always seemed rushed and mildly annoyed to be granting us any of his time. What a complete contrast with Mr. Aiken! From Day One, Mr. Aiken went above and beyond–he recognized behavioral and communications signs of autism in our initial meeting, informed us of the relevant case law, made connections for us for the necessary assessments, and built a solid case that included relevant contextual information dismissed by the other attorney. Mr. Aiken communicated regularly and in a timely manner, was quite patient with all of our questions, and explained things in a clear and non-jargony manner, Because of his excellent representation, his client will have a second chance and the opportunity to rebuild his life! Mr. Aiken has my highest recommendation, and my lifelong gratitude!!!!

Ronald Johnson is the best attorney I've ever had. I have never met more respectable people in a firm than at this office. My attorney was Ronald Johnson, and his assistant BJ Greer really came through in my case. They were very proactive in finding solutions to my problems. They did all the research necessary to help me have a better outcome than expected. I literally put my life in their hands, and I would do it a million times over in a heartbeat if I needed to. I highly recommend their advisement and help to anyone that needs a lawyer to help them find a great resolution to their case. They have changed my life and show that they are on my side until the very end.

She took the time to explain everything to me all through put my case, ensured that no stone was left unturned, and kept in constant communication with me through put the whole process. I never had to question what she was doing or how far along we were or what the next steps were because rebecca made sure I was in the know and felt comfortable with everything. On top of all of that WE WON! I will always recommend Rebecca and musca law to everyone I know as they are the best.

I had alot going on April 5th, 2018. I just got news that my disabled aunt was diagnosed with cancer. I went out to vent a bit ,and had some drinks. I lost track of my speed and was pulled over for my 2nd DUI. My license was immediately taken away, and a condition of my bond was a restriction that I could not leave the county. This was a problem because I was the caretaker for my aunt and was responsible for taking her to her doctor appointments and Cancer Specialist.. My DMV hearing was on May 24th 2018 and I was FACING 18 MONTHS SUSPENSION of my driving privileges. Attorney Rebecca Sonalia represented me on the DMV portion of the case. On the day of the hearing, Rebecca called me with John Musca on the line to inform me they had won my DMV case! I dropped to the floor crying!  Words cannot express how much they care, and all the hard work they have put into my case. They truly went out of their way for me. Now, I can take my aunt to the Cancer Specialist without worries or any issues, and it’s all because of them!!  My heart and gratitude goes out to John Musca and his team for all their efforts!. This whole ordeal has been a roller coaster for me, and they have been by my side through it all! God Bless you for all you have done for me. THANK YOU ALL SO VERY, VERY MUCH, FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!!!

I hired Mr. Kessler in November of 2022 to represent me in a DUI arrest case. He met with my husband and I at, needless to say, a very stressful time in both of our lives. I had never been arrested before and I didn’t know what was ahead of me. I instantly felt at ease, for the first time, since the arrest when we sat in his office discussing the case and possible outcomes. Mr. Kessler came recommended to me by another lawyer and boy was I not disappointed! This man is the cream of the crop when it comes to criminal DUI defense attorneys. He is an expert in his field. He and his wonderful staff, Morganne, Victoria, and Lindsey all helped me navigate a scary landscape. Everyone was so approachable and helpful! They were excellent at putting me at ease. Mr. Kessler got my charge reduced to the lesser charge of Reckless Driving and I did not lose my ability to drive, ever! I was so grateful to be able to find this wonderful law firm. Mr. Kessler is a known bulldog of a trial attorney which I didn’t fully understand at the time. I hope to never have to hire a criminal defense attorney again but, if I do need one, Mr. Kessler would be my 100% choice all over again. Do not hesitate and call Mr. Kessler and his fabulous team. He will represent you with vigor, truth, honesty and preparedness. He and his team will get you the best possible outcome. It is scary facing a judge and prosecutors. With Mr. Kessler by my side, I feared nothing and neither will you. You need this lawyer.

Hiring Amy was a godsend! I was arrested for DUI, never thinking I'd be that person who doesn't plan ahead on a night out. I was not only in legal trouble, but I felt deeply ashamed. I was terrified of the consequences at my job. I was at the lowest point in my life. I reached out to Colleen Glenn law firm and met Amy Guin. She immediately took charge of my situation and assured me that although this may feel like the worst thing that has ever happened, everything is going to be okay. She treated me with respect that I did not feel like I deserved. I started to breathe again as she took charge and explained how my charges could be reduced if I followed all of the steps she presented to me. I was 100% committed to doing so. I left her office that day feeling lighter knowing I had her to help me navigate this storm in my life. Each and every time I contacted Amy via email or phone, she responded within a few hours. Amy never left me hanging or feeling alone. I never even had to go to court! She took care of every single legal detail. Yes, she is incredibly brilliant and a compassionate soul who I cannot recommend enough. Hiring Amy was a godsend!

The Rossen Law Firm has been one of a kind miracles. From being illegally pulled over by Fort Lauderdale Police Department, to a case that was build and manufactured on pure lies, Manny and Adam were able to get to the truth, uncover the lies, and confront the officer in court with a video footage off the car's camera that contradicted his story in a million ways. Officer's testimony was scary with lie in every sentence. Should there not have been a dash cam, I don't think they would take my word for it. How many other people did he do wrong this year? That officer needs to go. Manny was able to get motion to suppress granted and all charges ended up being dropped after the judge heard the testimony and the actual video proof of his testimony being bs. Adam, Manny and others have done it again! Great job guys and thanks a million!

I had gotten into trouble with the law in 2000 and was sentenced to prison for eight years in 2001. My wife at the time divorced me and kept my two children from me my entire sentence and then used the fact that I was an ex-felon to continue to keep them from me. Right after my son turned 18 my ex wife tried to come after me for a lot of money. A friend of mine from church was an attorney and told me I need to speak with Mr. Ken Foote. I did and hired him right away. One of the best decisions I have made! Mr. Foote’s knowledge and experience was a huge blessing for me and even though I had to pay some money to my ex wife it was NOTHING compared to what she was trying to do to me and get from me. Mr. Foote was so good that the judge handling my case even apologized to me for my ex wife’s actions and what she was trying to do, in fact he wasn’t even happy with her attorney. I am so thankful to my Lord Jesus for placing Mr. Foote in my life and incredibly grateful to Mr. Foote for how much he cares about his clients and the awesome job he did for me. Thank you Ken Foote and may Jesus bless you and your firm as you continue to be a blessing to others!

I was referred to Lori by another lawyer. Since my case was very complicated it had many legal implications. The major concern was how best to navigate through the issues I had that would result in a favorable outcome. Starting with my first conversation with Lori she immediately set my mind at ease. From the very beginning she treated me with respect and empathy. Lori personally kept me well informed with the current situation of my case, what options were available and what the best course of action was. The many diverse and inspired arguments she proposed had a significant positive impact. She fought very hard on my behalf. Throughout she was very patient answering the myriad questions I asked and she was always very assuring during a very difficult, emotional and stressful time. When I did have difficulty understanding an answer she was always able to rephrase it in a manner that I could easily understand. As a result of all her efforts an out of court settlement was reached in my favor. Her knowledge and undressing of the law are inspirational and set a standard of competence that should be emulated by all lawyers. I am deeply grateful to have her as my attorney and thank her for “A JOB WELL DONE!” I highly recommend her, without reservation, to anyone needing legal representation.

From Day 1, Lori demonstrated exceptional support, and guidance through a seemingly interminable process. What sets Lori apart from other attorneys I've encountered is her refusal to treat clients as mere billable hours. Instead, she demonstrates empathy for their circumstances and alleviates the burden of uncertainty through her unwavering confidence and professionalism. I wholeheartedly recommend her services without reservation. She was a tremendous source of assistance and support during our family's toughest moments.

I was referred to H. Manual Hernandez (Manny) by another attorney as I was being investigated based on allegations made that I had committed Elder Financial Exploitation. This was unequivocally the worst fear that I had ever encountered. I could literally write volumes in this review regarding how well Manny conducted my case. I appreciated him never patronizing me by sugar coating issues. He always articulated very clearly the issues regarding my case. He was fastidious regarding being well prepared and was outstanding regarding how he respectfully interfaced with the lead criminal investigator, as well as numerous others. He consistently demonstrated an extraordinary level of professionalism. I felt that he was sincerely my advocate, not just my attorney. He always treated me with dignity and respect. Manny is extremely intelligent and has impressive credentials such as, having been a Federal Prosecutor for numerous years; he has a substantial knowledge of numerous areas of other legal expertise and is highly regarded by his peers. He is a credit to his profession. Manny is a very ethical attorney and I was impressed with his core values. Regarding his law firm, his paralegal is outstanding and as well as his investigator. Manny worked extremely expeditiously on my case. Due to his ongoing conversations with the lead detective for criminal investigations and his exceedingly thorough final police report submittal of which reflected concrete tangible evidence that I had not committed a criminal act and it was truly a unfortunate misunderstanding regarding the allegations made. The investigation was subsequently closed. I would never have any reservations regarding a referral to Manny. He truly is one of the very best attorneys and he definitely exceeded my expectations regarding the outcome of my case. I will forever owe him a debt of gratitude.

I was falsely accused of Domestic violence on 3 counts while my wife was trying to steal my money and custody of our children. I hired Michael and he was amazing and went over and beyond the call of duty collecting evidence and filing extra motions and more. He does not evolve his personal or political beliefs with his clients or cases whatsoever even though we sit on opposite sides. He got my wife on the stand in front a of jury all day from 8am to 5pm and showed what a lying, cheating, thief that she was and had her impeached as a witness for lying and got her admitting to committing perjury and got the jury to deliberate a not guilty on all counts unanimously within 10 minutes.. He pretty much saved me and my children s lives. I did much research on the best criminal lawyer in Orlando and everyone said he was the best! I owe him big time! His fee was way under prices also! Love ya Michael!

Mr. Fischetti came highly recommended and rightfull so. Aside from being a phenomenal attorney, Mr. Fishchetti alleviated my concerns and assured me the most aggressive representation possible. He not only honored his promise, but exceeded my expectations by getting my case dismissed and even getting me the immediate documentation I needed to move on with my life and finally put this nightmare behind me. Thank you Daniel Fischetti, I am forever indebted to you.

I'll start by saying that I never write reviews. I have never taken the time to write one, until now. Just over a year ago, I was arrested and charged with multiple felonies. My world was turned upside down. The prospect of a lengthy prison sentence was too much to digest. I knew very little about the legal system and had avoided trouble with the law for most of my life. I found Mr. Landes after the first attorney that I hired failed to get going on my case, he would not return my calls or meet with me for weeks. When I initially called Mr. Landes, he ask about my case in detail, he was straight forward and gave me his honest assessment of my situation. He developed a comprehensive strategy to fight the charges at the beginning, and answered my many questions. Mr. Landes always answered my calls and he always kept me informed. Mr. Landes is an expert attorney, he worked exceptionally hard while defending me and the outcome in my case was a positive one. Mr. Landes was amazing from start to finish!

Chelsie diligently went to bat for me after the traumatic back to back car accidents I experienced last summer. Her main concern was for me to get well & not suffer from any more pain. My cases weren't huge but she didn't sweep me under the rug because she knew it mattered to me & she saw how the physical & financial strain was negatively affecting my way of life, at no fault of my own. I've never encountered such intelligent, down to earth, empowering and kind women as Chelsie and her team of paralegals. She is the only attorney i'd ever entrust with my well being. THANK YOU CHELSIE!!!

Mr. Shearer handled my case with utmost professionalism. The case was complicated, involving simultaneous criminal and civil actions. Mr. Shearer navigated the criminal case, reducing the lengthy sentence to one quarter of the original amount adjudicated. His negotiation skills are outstanding, and he demonstrated the ability to navigate through all of the aspects and players in the legal system. On top of his experience as an attorney, he is a very nice person and has a top notch staff.

I contacted Trial Lawyers of the Palm Beaches after two cars collided in front of me and one of them came straight into me at about 45 miles an hour. I knew I was hurt, but I did not know how bad it was. Not only did I get the care I needed- but my goal was to come out of it not owing medical bills. I was stunned at what Samantha was able to do for me. My bills were completely covered and Sam achieved a settlement that was ELEVEN TIMES what the insurance company offered me! Not only were my medical needs addressed, there was plenty of money left over for me in the event future medical needs arise. I was full of fear and anxiety. Sam made the process easy, kept me informed, and achieved a result against a huge insurance company that I thought absolutely impossible. Maybe the lawyers on the billboards and tv are good, too. I felt I would get lost in the shuffle with a massive firm. With the Trial Lawyers, I got an amazing result, with personal, caring attention to my case. Never lost in the shuffle, Sam personally called me to give me updates, see how I was feeling, and let me know what she needed (documents, etc) to win. And win she did. I did not have to pay anything up front. Hiring the wrong lawyer can be a huge mistake. Calling Samantha was one of the best calls I've ever made. I strongly recommend her. She is an excellent personal injury attorney.

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.
