8 years ago, I'd had multiple surgeries & just managed to pay for my mom's Alzheimer's care when she died. I was totally broke. Couldn't work. Barely surviving. My debts happened before any of this. I contacted debtors to workout a reasonable way to go - no good. Then I came to you. Almost 8 years to the day back from today I had no more debt. Since then, while I have health challenges & can't work, I have found a pretty wonderful way to live. I made it 6 years paying cash only, then started to build credit again, and now my rating is around 700. In 2 years the bankruptcy will be off my credit record & it will go higher. Without your services, I wouldn't have had a chance in hell. Yes, it was definitely a new beginning. I may be 79, but I'm 79 going on 50!

I called inquiring about services needed, and although they didn’t offer the services I need, Debbie went above and beyond to assist me! She help me navigate the online portal and ultimately I was able to find an attorney to assist me. Imagine how much assistance I received, even though she knew I would not be obtaining services with them. This is definitely a law firm that I would recommend to anyone who wants someone to listen and really help them. Thanks so much Debbie!

My business instagram had been hacked and we simply were not getting anywhere on our own. I spoke with Ryan. He did a great job of laying out his strategy while also managing my expectations. The entire team at his firm was professional, responsive and friendly. In the end it took a little time but we got our account back. Just an overall great experience. Highly recommend.

I called to ask about my case for a defamatory review that we received on our business page. I can't be more happy that Deborah was the one that picked up my phone call, since the very beginning I could tell that she loves what she does cause in her tone of voice you can tell that she's willing to help everyone from the heart. After a conversation of 40 minutes I dont gonna keep looking for more Law Firms instead of doing that. I'll call back to Deborah and that's why I've saved the phone number that I used to call. Thank you very much again for your help Deborah.

I can never thank him enough for all he has done. These last months have been so difficult but all that being said Adam stepped in and was amazing.

Adam came highly recommended by an other attorney and now I can see why. He was able to obtain my vehicle back after it had been seized by the police. His vast knowledge in this type of matters resulted in getting the civil case dismissed. I was in constant communication with him throughout this entire process. There wasn’t a call or text of mine that he wouldn’t answer.

If you’re reading this review today, chances are you or someone you know are in need of representation in the court of law. I hired Adam Bolotin in February of 2020, after an unfortunate misunderstanding that led to my untimely separation from my company and a dream career that I had waited for over 35yrs:( Due to the pandemic the city of Chicago literally shut down in March of 2020, which pushed my court dates further and further back, with the unknown and uncertainties, a widespread pandemic and no employment I found myself at a low point in my life, but through it all, Adam was extremely encouraging and reassuring by reminding me of how he was going to fight for me and that the law was there to protect me. I will forever be in this man’s debt as he time and time again rushed to represent me even after the case was dismissed, yet my new employer needed some legal final papers. Adam has definitely restored my faith in humanity. Thank God for attorneys who remain faithful to their oath to protect the citizens of this country. Today I am with a different company doing the same dream career and enjoying my life, thanks to Adam’s continued support and legal representation.

Ross Kofman responded to my online request for a criminal defense lawyer first and gave me immediate relief when I explained my situation to him. He told me most of the charges were bogus and would easily be dropped. Fortunately after 3 months of being in limbo, going to court dates once a month merely to hear the judge say, I see you've been making your check in appointments, good, come back next month, the case never went to trial and I was informed today that the charges are being dropped at my next court date. Lawyers are not cheap and not so easy to get on the phone after you hire them because sometimes their days are packed as they are always in court, but don't let that put you off from hiring these guys. They got me waived of quite a few bogus felony charges. They do their jobs well. I originally spoke to Ross and thought he would be my lawyer but Brad Leventhal showed up at my first court date and he did an excellent job with the proceedings, encouraging me assuring me that this would pass and it would be okay. These guys were half the price of the original lawyer I went to who wanted 20,000 upfront to cover the whole pretrial and trial. Thosev other guys told me it would be over by Christmas, for that exorbitant fee. Fortunately I went with these guys and only paid 10,000 because there was no trial and here we are right before Christmas getting dismissed. So relieved. Thank you guys. They saved my life any my wallet!! Five Stars!

I hired Mr. Lichtman over a year ago to represent my brother in a federal case. My family and I had initially hired another lawyer who stole our money and butchered my brother's defense. We were beginning to lose hope and accepted that my beloved brother was going to spend most of his life in prison. My good friend in California referred me to Mr. Lichtman and I contacted him immediately. After our initial call, my family and I felt like we hit the lottery. Thanks to our superstar lawyer, my brother will be home soon. He is a literal legal genius and knows exactly what to do and what not to do – a quality most lawyers lack. He genuinely cared about my brother’s case and spent a lot of time answering our questions. If you're looking for an incredible and aggressive defense lawyer, I highly recommend hiring him. Mr. Lichtman saved my brother’s life.

The top lawyer in NYC. Saul had an amazing game plan for my situation right off the bat, and made me and my family feel much more comfortable throughout the process. He is extremely intelligent, creative, and an avid fighter for his clients. Saul made me feel like I had known him my whole life. Due to Saul's tireless work, efforts, and time, all charges against me were dropped. He had such a meticulous and well thought out plan for my case/trial. I always felt very good about my chances to win with Saul leading the charge. Saul is a winner. You want to be his client and you want him fighting with you.

Thank God for Mr. Wagner ! My husband and I, could not have made a better choice when hiring him to diligently and efficiently handle our case. He was able to avidly push for a major decrease in our wait time for an adjournment (twice), and get our case completely dismissed in the matter of days. He also has excellent communication skills and we cannot thank him enough for that. He worked tirelessly to ensure the best possible outcome on my husband's behalf and was considerate and empathetic of the conflict of time we had on our hands. He definitely calmed my anxieties and reassured us throughout the whole process. Everything turned out even better than expected. We will definitely be recommending him and his firm if the opportunity arises. Warmest Regards, Deborah

When my special needs child was abused on the school bus, I went to Michael Eidman to bring a lawsuit against the parties involved. It was a very stressful time for my son and myself.

I was very pleased with the results and the manner in which it was handled. Very professional.

Zachary represented me through an appeal and then a modification hearing. All along the way he consulted with me about the process, the steps we were going to take and what to expect - both the good and the possible bad. Zachary was well prepared on both occasions and even though we lost our initial appeal it didn't deter him from pushing forward on to the next step which we finally won. I would highly recommend Zachary for being efficient, thorough and tenacious in his representation of your case.

There was never a time where he left me in the dark about my case, and I can’t name a time when I called him and he didn’t answer.

My husband and I bought a property in NYC using Mina Kennedy as our attorney. We were given her name by my son who had purchased an apartment two years earlier in the city. He said that Mina was the best part of his experience. We discovered the same. She is a talented and knowledgeable real estate attorney that really had our backs. When things got complicated with problems in the building, she made sure we knew what was going on and the potential for future assessments. When the sellers wanted an all-cash offer, we held tight with her help and completed the deal with the mortgage intact. She responded quickly to all our inquiries and reacted quickly to the realtors and the sellers’ attorney when we needed her to do so. She is whip-smart and utterly reliable. Although I have bought and sold a number of properties in two other states prior to this experience we discovered NYC real estate is an animal all its own. We needed a great attorney and we got one. Thank you, Mina!

Just WOW!!! Amazing. I had the privilege of working with Alberto Ebanks, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Unlike other lawyers, he did not try to sell me himself from our first call. From the moment he examined my case, it was clear he is incredibly knowledgeable, precise, and straightforward. His military background shines through in his disciplined approach—he took the time to analyze every detail and explain the process clearly, without ever needing to sell himself. What truly impressed me was his determination to go above and beyond. He didn’t just settle for the bare minimum; he fought for the best possible outcome, one I didn’t even think was an option for my case. If you’re looking for a lawyer who is not only understanding but also committed to achieving exceptional results, Alberto Ebanks is the person to trust. I will be recommending him to all my contacts in search of legal representation. Thank you, Alberto

I was fortunate to have found Paul! I tasked him with writing my prenup, and he was attentive and helpful throughout the entire process. I had zero prior experience with marital law, and I came to him with a ton of loose ideas for what my partner and I were looking for in the document. I knew it would be a difficult task to come to an agreement between all parties, and draft a legal document that satisfied everyone’s interests, but Paul came through. We worked together, and I found him very personable and easy to work with. He was able to break-down complex topics easily for me to understand and was extremely meticulous. Prenups can be a difficult endeavor for the parties involved, but Paul made the process extremely doable. We ultimately achieved the perfect document for our needs, which I am very grateful for. Will be recommending him to my friends and colleagues. If you need a prenup lawyer, Paul is your man.

Then, Paul stepped in. He not only listened intently to my concerns but also deeply understood the intricacies of my situation. His approach was methodical and tailored specifically to build a strong case for me. The result was a resounding success – I was able to win back custody of my children.

Mr.Tanner was my attorney at a very scary time. I was facing up to 10 years in prison for being involved with wrong people. I was very lucky that he took my case. Howard Tanner is very well respected in his sphere, he knows ins and outs of the system with over 35 years of experience not just as an attorney, but as a prosecutor as well. He treated me with consideration and courtesy. He made me feel mattered! I am very grateful that he was on my side during this horrendous experience giving me his guidance. I feel it’s also important to have someone who has patience to return your calls and emails, explain the process, timeline and manage expectations. My case ended up being dismissed. I am thankful for every minute I have now as a free person. I would refer Howard Tanner to anyone who find themselves in a dire situation. Good luck!

It’s a job at the end of the day to most. If Aaron Shapiro or the force that is Amanda Schaffer takes your case, TRUST THEM. Full disclosure: I am a nightmare client. On a scale from 1-10, I’m an 11 in terms of annoying. My son is my absolute world. I have been a “white pony” more times than you can imagine. Over-billed. None of it made sense. Those attorneys cared about a paycheck. Aaron and Amanda are not only EXCELLENT attorneys, they’re good people. They have a backbone. Their time is valuable. They’re not cheap. Know that. When your child, freedom, or immigration status is on the line — don’t put it in the hands of someone who treats you like a file. The legal progress is exhausting (mentally and financially — I know it all too well.) It’s unfair. Read that again. No attorney should ever promise you a victory.

I'm not one to typically write reviews, but my experience with Amanda Shaffer from The Shapiro Law Firm was truly exceptional and warranted sharing. I had the pleasure of working with Amanda on my immigration case, and I must say, she exceeded my expectations in every way. Her professionalism, expertise, and dedication to her clients are truly exceptional. Unfortunately, my case was previously mishandled by another lawyer, who failed to properly file my application, leading to potential denial. However, Amanda Shaffer stepped in and quickly turned things around. She was frustrated by the mistakes made by my previous lawyer and immediately took action to combat their response. Amanda's expertise and knowledge of immigration law are impressive. She took the time to understand my situation, answered all my questions, and provided clear guidance throughout the complex immigration process. Her attention to detail and ability to navigate intricate immigration laws with ease are truly remarkable. What impressed me most was Amanda's proactive approach to resolving my case. She identified solutions and opportunities that I hadn't considered and worked tirelessly to ensure a successful outcome. Her dedication and commitment to her clients are unparalleled. I also valued Amanda's empathetic and understanding nature, which made a difficult and stressful situation more manageable. Her kindness, patience, and willingness to listen made me feel heard and validated. I highly recommend Amanda Shaffer and The Shapiro Law Firm to anyone seeking a skilled, reliable, and empathetic immigration lawyer. Amanda is a true asset to her profession, and I feel fortunate to have had her by my side during a challenging time. Thank you, Amanda, for your outstanding service, support, and dedication.

I'll always appreciate a knowledgable, empathetic and trustworthy legal team. This was my exact experience with Grant Attorney's At Law. Kristin always took the time to follow-up, and was readily available to provide updates and ensure clarity when expertise was shared regarding my trademark status. The team provided a balance of honest legal feedback and support of my ideas, which I treasured while navigating the complexities of trademark law for the first time. As a creative entrepreneur and owner of a brand management agency, I appreciated their diverse legal expertise, which has ensured comprehensive protection for both myself and my clients.

I would not recommend Pamela Branch as an attorney. I sought her help with a discrimination case over a year ago, and the experience has been extremely frustrating. Over the past two years, her communication has been nearly non-existent. I had to continuously follow up just to get basic updates. We filed a case with the Office of Civil Rights almost two years ago, and every time I asked for an update, she claimed she hadn’t heard anything back from them. Today, I decided to call the Office of Civil Rights myself, only to find out that they had already investigated my case. Yet, I never received any notification or email from them, nor did I hear anything from Pamela. To make matters worse, I tried emailing her and received no response, and her phone number is either blocked or disconnected. This lack of professionalism and communication is unacceptable, and I regret trusting her with such an important matter.

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.
