Todd and his team's communication was exceptional! While Mr. Mitchell himself was frequently in court, I never hesitated to leave messages with the front office, or to message through the client portal. The messages were always responded to same day, or I would receive a phone call with updates. We had a hard goal set, and Mr. Mitchell and his team made absolutely sure that the last time I would walk out of the courts, it would be considered a success. Easy to chat with, not hard on the wallet (considering what they bring to the table), and complete transparency are why I hold J. Todd Mitchell Law Firm in the highest of regards. The best there is!

Mr Todd Mitchell is an amazing and hardworking lawyer. His office provides prompt response to all questions, usually within just a couple of minutes. He is very wise and takes time to understand your case and reach the most favorable outcome. He helped us through a difficult time and was our guide as we navigated uncertain times. At the end he was able to achieve the exact outcome that we had been praying and hoping for. Thanks Mr Mitchell!!!

My case was very complex, beyond scary for me and in a different state (not in GA). I came across Foss and his firm when doing a search for sexsomnia. From the minute that we started speaking he made me feel understood, heard and started putting me at ease. His partners were amazing as well. Their methodical approach was world class and I found Foss's practical intelligence to only be surpassed by his emotional intelligence. His understanding of the people involved in the case, that he never even met, was uncanny. Foss and his partners were able to secure a complete exoneration in short order and get me my life back.

Foss was very thorough in everything he did from investigation to validating facts to learning the personalities of the court and DA. He obviously had learned much over his years in practice and had a plan, but was not so rigid that he did not adjust with the situation. Always thinking ahead, he was prepared for different possibilities in each instance. A very intelligent gentleman who used good manners and remained calm at every turn. He was interested in hearing our input about the case and answering any questions we had. He communicated, even over communicated, to make sure we understood. Although the case was long, he was just as engaged at the end as at the beginning. We felt like we mattered to him as people and not just another win he could chalk up. We hope to never need his services again, but wouldn't hesitate a moment to engage him if the need arose.

After some searching, I found Foss Hodges and set up a time and an interview. Foss wanted to meet the entire family and the friends anyone who could show up, Foss began to introduce himself and more importantly wanted to know about me and my family. Foss cared it was the first time I had spoken to someone who wanted to actually hear from my family and was willing to speak with them about the case to help ease any confusion we may have. Also, a huge plus was he wanted to work with experts, and he had some of his own including wanting to give the one I had in mind a call and to at least learn with them. Foss gave us a checklist to do with everything he needed and as well as anything we thought would help him in any way. Then we went to work, we were a team working towards one goal and that was to prove my innocence and to put my family back together. Foss Hodges first act of business is very unique, it's to stop and indictment if it hasn’t been indicted already. He states very clearly, I can't promise you anything but the fact I will give you the best effort and I am going to put in the work. Any lawyer that tells you they can promise you a dropped case or an innocent verdict is something to pay attention to because that is not a thing. Foss then asks me to take a polygraph and then came to my house personally to do a walk through and see my house and exactly how the incident transpired. Foss took the extra steps to fully understand what happened and educated himself about the step by step instead of just taking my statement and that’s it. Foss wants to be there and see it with his own eyes, then after that he wants to try to meet the District Attorney to stop the Indictment if possible. We waited a year and a half it felt like before the DA responded to him then she would talk about meeting and then leave the office and someone else would get the case, or it would be “lost” for a few months then a new DA would take it and not respond to him all over again. Foss was persistent and never stopped with the correspondence to try to get a meeting to show the binder he built with all of his hard work and the expert testimonies with the polygraph test and all the Character reference letters with photos of the family and all. Foss kept my family updated and was very frequent with phone calls and if you had a rough time, you could just call him to talk, he was there for me and my wife in a time where we didn’t know what to do. Foss fought for my life for 3 years he won a bond modification to get me home to my family then 8 months later he went on to meet with the DA over my case and she dropped all charges over a six-minute phone call with my wife. Foss Hodges gave me my life back I have never seen anyone care or work so hard for anyone in my life, he was exceeding and doing things every lawyer I worked with before was just not there. I would trust Foss hodges with my life again and I am telling you if you are uncertain about the situation you are in and if you are reading this, I know your scared like I was. Please just give him a call and at the very least listen to what he has to say let him hear your story and then let him work for you like he did for me. He can't promise you the same outcome as me but that’s what he told me too and here I am writing this review after being free from the nightmare with a healthy family working on my master's because of this man. I owe him my life.

Megan was simply amazing! She was responsive to our questions and concerns regarding our son's IEP not being followed properly. She worked alongside us to formulate a plan before the meeting, and spoke intelligently about laws and procedures during the meeting. Megan was easy to communicate with, did not have intentions that went beyond what we wanted, and was not one of those stereotypical "bulldog" attorneys that work against you in meetings. She was the very resource we needed when we needed her!

I want to personally thank Mr. Wosnik. He recently represented me in my divorce case. I came to him from an attorney that I did not feel understood me or the gravity of my case. Mr. Wosnik really heard me out and acted in the best interest of my family. He cared. Instead of treating me like “another client”, he made me feel like I had someone that would really defend me and fight for me. He did just that. He was patient and understanding. He delivered great results. I would highly recommend his services.

I want to first thank Wosnik Law for such an AMAZING Job. They helped me this week with my son’s case. Mr. Wosnik is so kind and soft spoken, he will tell you upfront what to expect. Everything he told me exceeded my expectations beyond human understanding. I went to court with Mr. Robbie and the judge 👨‍⚖️ gave us a dismissal of additional probation. I know it was the gracious hand ✋ of God working through the attorneys but I have to give them credit for their professionalism, knowledge, wisdom and understanding. My son was granted a second chance at life at 22 years of age.He was facing prison time for a probation violation. If I had 10,000 tongues I couldn’t thank you enough and also for a great 😊 price!

My God My God!! Let me say this PLEASE DO NOT hesitate to reach out this law firm. I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Peter Wosnik for his outstanding support and expertise during a challenging time in my life. I was facing serious charges for the first time, and my mental health was in turmoil. With no knowledge of the law, I felt lost and overwhelmed. Mr. Wosnik truly became a blessing for my family and me. His patience, compassion, and dedication not only guided me through this difficult process but ultimately saved my life. His deep knowledge and expertise in law gave me the confidence I so desperately needed during a time of uncertainty. I highly recommend reaching out to Mr. Wosnik’s firm, as they are truly professional and results-driven. Please be sure to comply with everything he requests—his dedication and hard work have had a profound impact on my life, and I am eternally grateful for it. Thank you, Mr. Wosnik. You will forever be in my prayers for continued prosperity and success

Ms. Williams put together my explanation letter perfectly. I was given my ATT and official license after passing NCLEX with no delays or stipulations.

I was arrested for domestic violence and criminal tresspass and it was an overwhelming stressful situation. I was very fortunate in finding Jarrett Mailett who was able to see me the same day. I explained my circumstances to Jarrett and he walked me through the legal jargon and guided me through thelegal process. Jarrett was very helpful, communicative, received and answered all questions promptly. Jarrett was able to have the judge drop my charges and dismiss the case. He went further to request my arrest be expunged. I would highly recommend Jarett Mailett and his law firm and he has delivered an outstanding result.

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.

I have been in serval accidents in my life and have never needed to call an attorney because the other driver’s insurance always accepted accountability and provided a rental immediately. This time, I was hit by a guy and filed the claim. Once filed, they refused to take my calls and hung up. I called Matt at his firm for help and he too was met with resistance and lack of cooperation. He persevered and was able to recuperate all the money I had lost. His entire team was always available, kind and truly honest. Throughout the entire process, I was always kept informed and abreast of any changes or challenges. I would—and I have—referred a friend to him when they thought they would need someone who is full of integrity and professionalism.

I had worked with an attorney in the past that took nearly 2 years to do what Kayla accomplished in just a handful of months. At each step there was excellent communication, and I was never left feeling confused or unsure. Overall, I had a fantastic experience with this firm, but especially with Kayla. If I am ever in need of an attorney again, I would absolutely hire her. Thanks so much!

I had a very complex divorce case that was a complete mess. All of the people I worked with were amazing! Kayla Upchurch saved the day when a scheduling conflict arose with my lawyer just two weeks before my court date. In that short amount of time she was able to compile almost two years worth of documentation and have it ready for our court date. With her feisty personality (a good character trait in my opinion), great interviewing skills, and dedication we were able to win our case.

I was falsely accused and arrested for a serious crime, and my family and I were terrified about what lay ahead. From the very beginning, AJ, Stacie, and Mike were with us every step of the way. They provided straightforward, truthful answers to our questions and gave us the guidance we desperately needed during such a difficult time. AJ and his team worked tirelessly and handled our case with absolute professionalism and precision. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, all charges against me were dismissed, and my life was restored. Their ability to protect not just me but my family from the immense strain of the situation was truly remarkable. One key piece of advice I’d give anyone considering AJ and his team is this: Be completely honest with them and trust their process. The less I heard from AJ, the harder I knew he was working behind the scenes. When updates came, they were always significant and meaningful. Navigating the justice system feels like walking through fire, but having AJ and his team by your side makes all the difference. Even after my case was won and officially closed, they continued to work to ensure every last detail was resolved. Their commitment to their clients is unparalleled. If you’re looking for the best defense attorney and team in the business, look no further. They saved my life, and I’m eternally grateful.

Outstanding Legal Representation – Highly Recommend! I cannot thank Jordan Van Matre enough for him and his teams exceptional work in winning my disorderly conduct case. From the beginning, they were professional, knowledgeable, and truly committed to justice. They took the time to understand my situation, thoroughly examined the facts, and built a strong defense against an unjustified charge. Their courtroom presence was outstanding—confident, well-prepared, and persuasive. They effectively challenged the officer’s claims, and their dedication to my case led to a well-deserved victory. Beyond their legal skills, was always responsive, supportive, and made sure I understood every step of the process.

After my case being denied by another attorney. I reached out to attorney Jordan. From day one he told me that he was going to fight for me. The same energy and attention that most attorneys give you on day one to obtain you as a client is the same energy and attention attorney Jordan gave me at the conclusion of my case. Not to mention he sought after getting me the maximum amount for my case, and succeeded. I am forever grateful for the support he gave to me during my case. Best attorney I have ever encountered.

Matt brings to the table deep relationship, angles and perspective that are rare and unique as a seasoned - experienced attorney. He has a unique background of being a successful prosecutor and AMAZING defense attorney. Even rarer, he provides a element of human care for his clients that shows non-judgment and help that presented me a way through an extremely complex and difficult situation. He brought solutions in my case and visited me in Jail multiple times at the height of a pandemic. Where most were uncertain and running the other way..Matt was unwavering and always there. Scary times for the world and my situation.. He goes above and beyond thinking of your well being foremost. Not only did he breath life into me by this, but He played a huge role in lifting me out a very bad place of unprecedented time when it seemed I didn't have a Hail Mary. He truly was an answer to a prayer and he worked exhaustively and relentlessly when so much seemed impossible, restricted and in shambles which was my life and the world.. He provided in my case real productive solutions/guidance that helped assure all parties involved of a good outcome. With his element of knowledge and extensive background of expert work in this field he made more than I could ask happen. Doors I thought forever closed and things impossible he achieved Mercy was afforded in my case that today brings me a brighter future that was almost completely lost without him. For his work I'm forever grateful and lucky to have got him to my defense. Hire him if you can. He is the real deal When all was failing and turmoil thanks for all you did/do and never gave up With love and deep respect Forever and always, Cameron

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 !

Lisa is the best criminal defense attorney I've had the pleasure of working with in the state of Georgia. I had other prior representation that charged more and accomplished a fifth of what her and her team did. After she had helped (and won by all accounts) with my step brother on an alleged DUI charge, I was referred. She was able to quickly resolve all of the probation problems that my other attorney either lacked the skill or discipline to. She was also able to gain EARLY termination of probation. Lisa and her assistant Danielle provided absolute first class communication throughout the entirety of my case work. Lisa took the time on multiple occasions to truly get to know me and my case, and expressed genuine concern. If you're looking for your Harvey Specter look no further. Lisa and Danielle are winners, through and through, and they will win for you.

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

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.

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.
