Glenn and Phil are the best lawyers to get when it comes to felonies. He got me off on 4 new law charges with a violation of probation. Also, no court cost or probation fees and early termination within a year, so yea if you need a lawyer I HIGHLY recommend Glenn and Phil 5+stars. Thanks again.

I would like to sincerely say “ Thank You” to Attorney Glenn Roderman and everyone at his office. I would not hesitate to recommend this law firm to anyone who needs legal representation. Mr. Roderman got my case dismissed by the state. I feel blessed and very fortunate to have had Mr. Roderman as my lawyer. If you retain him as your attorney, you would be making a fantastic choice. Thank you for everything you did to help me during a difficult time.

Maybe good at other law. Didnt see that with this criminal case. It was gonna a challenge but....$50,000 for taking the case and $27,000 for trial with just a 1/3 of the $27,000 returned after being convinced the Trial may not be the best route. Chewing gum & rocking in his chair at sentencing. Barely spoke to the Judge, his assistant. Sam did his work for him. ( She needs her own practice, having her own legal firm would be successful.) I don't understand the 4 stars either. And yes....still got the 10yr sentence. Hhhmmmm. Don't believe all the hype. Do ur homework because you will be doing his work for him. Don't sign anything his request without someone else reading it also. Clarity was a huge issue here.

I’m not one to write google reviews often, however I feel the need to express to everyone how AMAZING Stephanie is as a criminal defense attorney. I have had the pleasure of hiring her twice in the last few years and she never disappoints! She’s empathetic, kind, quick to answer your calls or any questions, and does not disappoint in court. She truly does care for her clients and is passionate about her career. Whenever I didn't understand the court terms or what was going on she took the time to explain it to me, more than a few times. If you need a attorney for anything criminal please call her. She’ll give you honest and direct advice. Thank you all of you who are here who’ve helped me in my cases. You all are awesome!

The first time I retained Bryan for legal representation was in September of 2016 when I was arrested for DUI. At 19 y/o. this left me in a state of confusion and uncertainty. My lack of experience with the legal system left my head filled with more questions than answers. Mr. McCarthy immediately put me at ease with his patience, as well as, his understanding demeanor. Bryan’s exceptional knowledge of Florida’s DUI laws provided me with a sense of confidence and reassurance that I was in capable hands. Under Bryan's guidance, the process became manageable less intimidating. He thoroughly explained each step of the proceedings, always taking the time to ensure that I fully understood my rights and options. His professionalism and unwavering support during this difficult time were invaluable. Fast forward to five years later, I found myself facing a second DUI charge. The potential ramifications of a second offense could have affected both my personal life and my business severely. However, Bryan's unwavering belief in me and his ability to navigate the legal complexities helped me emerge from this situation with the best possible outcome. Throughout both cases, his flexible approach was invaluable. He recognized the impact this situation had on my business and worked diligently to protect my interests on both fronts. His generous allocation of time and unwavering commitment to my case were evident throughout the process. He was always available to address my concerns and provide updates, never leaving me feeling uncertain or alone. In conclusion, my experiences Bryan have been transformative. His professional acumen, coupled with his empathetic and generous nature, has left an indelible mark on my life. For anyone seeking legal representation that goes beyond the call of duty, Bryan is undoubtedly the attorney to trust. His dedication to his clients is unparalleled, and his ability to navigate the complexities of the legal system with grace and effectiveness is something I will forever be grateful for.

A 39 year marriage abruptly ending due to alcohol abuse and domestic violence is a scary and unfamiliar predicament to navigate through.

I wanted to take the time in this 2025 year about my past experience with Albert Quirantes. From the beginning attorney Quirantes will listen and best help you understand the situation you are encountering. Attorney Quirantes has a great team of paralegals and they stay on top of your case. This is a hard working attorney who tries to find any possible way of getting to the resolution and I am glad to be able to write a positive review because it is very well earned. For those who are skeptical about this attorney, do not judge a book by its cover. Attorney Quirantes has empathy, appreciation and respect for all that walk in to his office that seek help no matter your circumstances. This attorney is very respectful and actually charges a reasonable price for the effort he puts in to handle your case without breaking your wallet, which I find as a way he tries to give back in helping those who are not rich and do not have deep pockets. I appreciate the help he tries to give to those who work hard for pennies in hourly low wage jobs. Attorney Quirantes has earned a positive review from me.

Mr. J T Hagans was an absolute miracle in my life. I had gotten into a car accident not too long after my sister had passed away and then shortly after I was diagnosed with a heart condition. When a car hit me, I just went blank and I didn't know where or what to do. I just kept driving which was a wrongdoing on my part. However, not only was he emotionally supportive and understanding, but he was was professional and provided me with knowledge about the law and what I could possibly be facing in terms of fines and fees. He basically broke every single thing down for me. He answered every phone call and email as busy as he was to reassure me that everything would be alright. He guided me throughout the entire process. If there is ANY attorney that I could ever recommend to a person whom is facing a traffic violation of some sort, I would STRONGLY recommend this humble, kind, intelligent and wonderful man. He is trustworthy and honest. I hate to say it but not many attorneys truly conduct their business in this fashion. What struck me most was that it was not so much about the dollar for him. Mr. Hagans TRULY wants and does assist to the best of his ability while educating and keeping you updated throughout the legal process. If there were more than 5 stars to give him, I would. Thank you, Mr. J Todd Hagans and God Bless. There should be more attorneys out there like you.

Scott is the best attorney I have ever hired. He takes his time and make sure he gets the job done. I have hired him for my son and now my brother and they both were facing a lot of time. With Scott on our side their time was very minimal. I can say he is my families go to attorney for everything thing. If you're looking for an attorney that will fight for you and get the job done Roger Scott is your man.

Roger Scott is great at his job he answers fast, he cares, and he genuinely tries. He is currently trying to have the court allow me to join the military for my charges to get dropped after asking me if I have ever been interested in the military. He also has three other options set up if that doesn’t work out. He is a great guy.

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.

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.

Rebecca and musca law are some of the best attorneys I have ever had the privilege to work with. Rebecca is really devoted to the best possible outcomes for her clients. 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 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!

They gave me all the options, all the things that could happen and prepared me for the worst and even the best. In the end it was clearly the best as we won our case and my children are protected. I cannot thank this Kenneth Foote and his staff enough for having everything together and being extremely responsive to mine and my children's needs.

I hired Richard for a case and never spoke to him on the phone only with his assistant. He missed three phone call appointments with me and became very rude when I express my displeasure with the situation (via email of course). I paid him $1100 for no reason, I honestly regret hiring him to terminate my probation early. I filed the motion myself and got it taken care of. Anyone looking to hire an attorney I strongly suggest looking elsewhere. I can only imagine what his clients are going through that are incarcerated.

Richard was prepared, focused and walked into the courtroom full of confidence and energy. He spoke to the Prosecutor and Judge for me and I hardly said a word. It was amazing how everyone treated Richard with so much respect and friendliness. And the BEST thing was, Richard was able to get me a great plea deal where I get my case DISMISSED in 3 months! Richard made a very frightening situation for me a simple “walk in the park” – Thank you Richard!!

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.
