An absolute amazing man and a wonderful staff to match. I didn't know how to use technology when he helped me in my time of need. So this is a few years after the matter. My husband had just passed away and I found out the insurance company didn't want to pay up. My sister referred me to this angel. He got me my husband's policy I was owed. It was a hard time for me and I didn't know how to deal with this part and i was crying uncontrollably . He was so professional, yet an understanding human. He told me to ake all the time I needed, because the thought of signing these papers seemed so final on his death, that it was a realization to me that he was really never going to come back to me. It's going to be 8 years on the 24th of February. Not a day goes by that I remember the kindness that he and his staff gave me, as this was and still is the first REAL loss (close to me), that I've experienced. Thank you cannot begin to express or acknowledge the respect, and love I have for this man and his staff. Thank you isn't enough for the help and genuine thoughtfulness y'all showed me. YOU'RE AN ABSOLUTE ANGEL ON EARTH!

My case was solved in the most impressive and fastest way I thought it would be. We were supposed to have court in January. When I hired Smith and Eulo they sent me Scott Messinger and Isabella Vicentelo. These two worked fast to get my fiance out of jail and not only that but they got the case dropped, in other words, no more court, all that in less than a month. There were 3 charges and all of them dropped! We could not believe! I never met my lawyers in person and I was never able to thank them enough. It actually took us few days realize all these were true. Thank you guys so much. Thank you Scott Messinger and Isabella Vicentelo for the amazing service. You guys were the best!

His attention to detail and ability to empathize with us as clients, is very commendable. While the experience was very traumatizing, Mr. Pollack listened and heard our voices and worked to ensure the outcomes of the case exhibited just that. He was very proactive, knowledgeable, and honest. Mr. Pollack’s office staff was well to work with as well. Pam answered every call and made sure she updated us with each and everything related to the case. As a team, they were exceptional. I highly recommend retaining attorney Pollack.

I had a great experience with Mr. Newman as my attorney. He was incredibly attentive to every detail, always straight to the point, and kept me in the loop the whole time. He spoke to me in a way that felt personal, almost like family, which I really appreciated. If there’s one thing I’d suggest, itwould be for him to connect a bit more with clients on an emotional level. But overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate. I’d highly recommend Mr. Newman to anyone looking for a dedicated and thorough attorney.

From the moment I spoke with Attorney James Davis, I instantly felt like I could trust this man and that we would be in good hands. I called early morning around 8:10am and he called me back within 30 mins informing me he would accept our case and be at the first appearance. We were able to discuss all details openly and never felt judged or like we were less than due to the circumstances. He gave his cell phone number to us and made sure we understood he was available to us whenever we had questions. Attorney Davis is very easy to work with and his office manager Anna is the same! I never had to wonder where we were stood in our case - they made calls frequently and made sure we understood what was happening every step of the way. The results were worth every dollar spent on the retainer fee. I hope to never have to use his services again; but should we be in need, Attorney Davis and Anna will be my first call.

My wife and I have been living in Melbourne for over 10 years. It's a quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors. During the month of May my next-door neighbor sold his house. We greeted this person and even helped with some of his landscaping since he didn't have any lawn equipment. I had also informed this neighbor that the fence which runs along the property line was in severe deterioration and ask if he wanted to share the expense. At first he seemed reasonable then when I approached him to discuss getting prices, he became very aggressive and belligerent. And even complained to some of our neighbors. My wife and I decided to foot the bill for the fence after getting all the surveys completed and having the construction approved by the HOA. Once this was completed our fence contractor came in and ran a string-line that designated the property lines. the fence would then be constructed 4-5 inches inside the property line on our side. The neighbor went ahead and sabotages the line by cutting it down and this is when this neighbor became unruly. End result is there was a stand-off at the fence where he was video taping my wife and I doing lawn maintenance and I confronted him by taking away his cell phone, I was arrested. I contacted Jason Downs who reviewed our case and after much investigation and Jason's expertise to showed evidence that not only is this person unstable but repeatedly pulls stunts like this from his previous address. My case was dismissed, and my wife and I are forever grateful for Jason's support. I would recommend Jason's firm to anyone who has ever unfortunately had to deal with circumstances like this.

Not only was Mark honest, but we always knew all the possibilities along the way of what could happen during the case. Don’t even get me going on Jeanette. She’s an absolute dream. She always answered my calls or texts.And not only is she good at her job too… she made it personal. She would ask how I’m doing and make sure I was okay every step of the way! If you want an aggressive attorney who’s honest and will get you the best outcome, HIRE Mark and his team !!! I promise they treat you as if you are their own family. I love the entire team!

Mark and his office saved my life. I had a very high profile case and the Government was hell bent on destroying my life and imprisoning me for a very long time. I was innocent and this was my first time being arrested. Before I hired Mark, The Government refused to give me bond and held me in jail for over two years. The jail treated me horribly and I was always in the hole. Before Mark I had four different lawyers representing me. I let go of them all because none of them fought for me, I was just another number to them. One lawyer only visited me once in six months, stayed three minutes, and didn’t know my name. Another lawyer refused to believe me and wanted me to take a plea to go to prison for ten years. Three months before my trial I hired Mark O’Brien and my life took a 180 for the best! Unlike every other attorney Mark and his team made sure to pick up the phone and answer all of my concerns. He visited me in jail consistently and he talked to the Warden multiple times on my behalf. I was treated with respect at the jail for the first time. The guards no longer harassed me because they knew Mark would step in. Mark and his team communicated with my family constantly. Mark made sure my suit went to the dry cleaners to assure I looked good every day in court. Mark only had a couple of weeks to prepare for trial he exposed every lie and trick the Government did against me and totally destroyed their case against me. I was released three months after hiring him, right before Christmas just like Mark said I would and spent it with my family. I was in jail for two and a half years due to bad representation. One of my previous attorneys event contacted me afterwards and said “I understand why you fired us, only Mark could have gotten you that kind of outcome.” Mark freed me and prepared housing for me until my family was able to pick me up. When the police heard I was released they were so upset and embarrassed, they tried to arrest me again ..twice, but Mark put a full stop to that and I’m free because of him today. Mark and his team are truly the best! Take it from me I have had many lawyers. Even though I was innocent the other lawyers were scared of how many resources the Government were using against me and didn’t want to do the work to get the job done right. Without Mark I would have went to prison for a very long time for something I didn’t do. He is simply the best and I know this because he helped so many other inmates in jail get justice as well. Federal inmates weren’t going home if they didn’t have Mark as a lawyer. I recommend him highly.

First time I used Mr. Novell, I was facing a speeding ticket along with a following to closely ticket issued by the same officer that pulled me over three months earlier for an over 30MPH over the limit! I showed up late for that court date so I was found guilty in absence. How Mr. Novell got these new citations resolved with not points or school and very low fines was simply amazing. Has represented me two more times since with good results. Money well spent if you consider just how much I have saved in insurance in the past five years. Incredible return on my investment! Many thanks Robert.

When my daughter was arrested for DUI we asked everyone around who was the best DUI criminal defense attorney. Scott Moorey’s law firm was number one and they were right! Scott was upfront and honest about our chances and did not oversell himself. In the end we got a much better result than anyone expected, no DUI. All because of the hard work and dedication of Scott and his firm. 5 stars.

If you have an amicable divorce go to a mediator or give a small retainer fee. This office has a NON-refundable refund for retainers. My case was during the holidays and after we signed everything the office went silent. I had to email to check status and then they would move the case. I wasn't even informed on when my divorce was finalized, I found it on public records. Although I am knowledgeable and know it was my mistake for not reading the terms, I hope this helps someone to ask about refundable retainer fees. My divorce billable hours were about 2,500. My retainer fee was 5,500 so the office made an easy $2,900.00. Hope this review helps someone in the future!

Janet is God sent. She is relentless, dedicated, and motivated. Rather you have a parking ticket, or a 2nd degree Vehicular Homicide Felony, she is there to fight for you personally. Janet makes you feel like family, and not someone who is at the mercy of the system. She is patient, intelligent,and dominates in court. She is quite literally the person you would hire when you need someone there for you in every aspect. Our family as a whole couldn’t have asked for better representation from Janet. She was able to turn the impossible, possible. Putting all the odds that were once against us, in our favor by truly, with sincerity, defending her client. We love Janet, and know you will too after hiring her.

“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!!!!

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!

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
