I was in the middle of a divorce and things were going very badly. I changed over to this law firm and was represented by Bobbi Jo. She was very good and also compassionate. I was devastated with what I was going through. I’m thankful for her and their law firm.

Chris is awesome and his services speak for themselves! Worth every penny! He made himself available immediately after our speeding ticket and was with us throughout the entire process. Great follow through, great communication… Just an all-around great experience and he took away all of the stress. Case dismissed …. and If you get a speeding ticket and you’re within range of the Cowan law firm, it is an absolute no-brainer to enlist their services.

27 Aug, 2024 by Francesca

Chris is extremely knowledgeable and demonstrated a deep understanding of the law while providing clear guidance every step of the way. He was always available to answer my questions. Thanks to Chris's expertise, my case was resolved efficiently and with a favorable outcome. I couldn't be more satisfied with my results, highly recommend!

I have hired Lauri several times over the past 15 years to represent me on various criminal cases and DUIs. She has never disappointed me or failed to surprise me with outstanding results at the end of each conclusion or sooner!She will remain in my contacts for as long as she practices law and the first name I mention as a reference to anyone struggling in the court system!

Harvey was the best attorney I've ever had. If I ever need another attorney, he is the one I would get. Harvey was great at explaining everything to me. We proceeded to a Trial and he got me a Not Guilty! Harvey is also a general good person and he made me feel very comfortable (and I don't really like people). Amazing all-around.

30 Jul, 2024 by Christina

Recently I was represented by Joseph Patituce. I cannot begin to explain the stress and confusion that comes along with being part of a criminal case. During the entirety of the 2 year process I was always full of questions and Joseph would always answer them in a timely, prudent, and unbiased manner. His understanding of the law is unmatched. This knowledge base helps immensely with the confusion that is inevitable for someone like myself who is completely new to any of it. I highly recommend this firm.

28 Sep, 2022 by John

I hired this law firm to defend me from some very serious charges. Like you I started off reading reviews and doing my research. One thing that I found helpful was that I put his name into Google's news search and saw that he isnt one of those attorneys that pump themselves up with fake claims, he legitimately has defended cases that made international news. My case was not nearly as serious as a triple murder but he acted like it was. He was kind and understanding even as I freaked out repeatedly about the status of my case. I would definitely hire them again.

Attorney Munyer is very skilled and highly respected by many in Summit County. Munyer works extremely hard on all of his cases and argues for the best possible outcome of accused clients. He is tentative to detail and knows exactly what to do when receiving evidence from the state. I would highly recommend Noah Munyer for anyone in need of the best legal representation to argue and/or mediate a criminal case.

12 Apr, 2023 by Jim

Noah Munyer is a legal wizard with magical powers. If you are lucky enough to have Noah lay his golden hands on your case, you're going to get the best possible outcome. Whether you've just been arrested, or you're disappointed with how your lawyer has been handling your case, you owe it to yourself to talk to Noah before signing anything or making any statements. Noah gets things done. He stays on top of his business, and will keep you informed and updated about your case and your options. He doesn't just file papers and sit back and wait for things to happen -- he MAKES things happen, and that's the difference between an average lawyer and an amazing lawyer. The best advice I can give anyone with legal problems in Ohio is: Talk to Noah. Pay Noah. Do what Noah tells you to do.

23 Jan, 2023 by Eric

I had the privilege of getting Noah as a public defender back in 2014 I knew from the first time we talked that I had found my future attorney if need be and yes I ended up hiring him in 2021. I’m almost 43 and my younger adult years i racked up a ridiculous criminal history which by no means am I proud of at all I have a attempted murder, felonious assaults, participating in a criminal gang. So what I’m trying to get at is with a record like mine it’s pretty safe to say that if I catch any cases that the state of Ohio for the most part has a cell with my name on it. With a “big dogg” attorney like Noah on your side I never once felt as if I was going to prison he was always upfront and honest even if he may of thought it was something I may not of wanted to hear. For an attorney to get me to trust them it’s a pretty heavy task to achieve due to prior railroads and lies from other attorneys, but Noah was a natural it was mostly because I could feel that he was genuine

I worked with Tad on my case for a year! He would text me back weekend or not, super friendly. Explained the whole process of everything in a way I could understand what was really going on. I was accused of a crime I truly did not commit and he believed me. Unfortunately we could not prove a phone call conversion in trial we we settled for a plea. Went from 2 major felonies count 2 and a 3. Down to a misdemeanor 1, probation for 2 years that’s it. Great guy enjoyed working with him but hopefully I never see him again unless it’s a run in at the store.

12 Nov, 2019 by Josh

I called Tad just days before my pre-trial hearing and he was nice enough to accommodate me into his busy schedule. He took my concerns very seriously and was very thorough in investigating all the details of my case. He was available at any time of the day when I had a question or concern. His law office is focused on trial, and not just pleading out. If you desire a plea bargain he will work to achieve the outcome you desire, but dont fear if you want to go to trial. He is dedicated and thorough and will work hard to achieve a positive outcome. My case was dismissed, but Tad a solid game plan, with motions for dismissal, and a trial plan if the case was not dismissed prior to trial. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a well qualified trial attorney.

02 Jul, 2019 by Dan

Tad was recommended by a friend and was above and beyond what I expected. After my first call we met immidiatly and Tad took action gathering information. Tad was very informative and easy to deal with. Tad very clearly broke down my case, possible outcomes and different strategies to approach with. End result was a case dismissal for me and one very happy client. Only lawyer I will ever recommend. 10/10

My fiance hired Rhys for an assualt charge which they wanted jail time but he fought with the prosecutor and was able to get it down to probation and fines which he was happy with. He fought for him and was more than willing to go to trial if they didnt give him a fair deal. He was also always on top of things. Super nice guy, highly recommend him.

05 Sep, 2016 by David

In December of 2015, my daughter made a mistake. She got involved with the wrong person, and ended up accused of a felonious assault and theft. I found Atty. Jones's number in the phone book, called his office, and he saw me that afternoon. He also introduced me to his associate, Atty. Ron Yarwood, and the two of them took care of my daughter's case. They immediately took steps to get her out of jail and released on bond. They informed us of her legal rights and liabilities, and kept us informed of the progress of her case. They educated us from the beginning on what my daughter's risks were, and negotiated hard on her behalf. From the outset, they told us that they had no fear of going to trial, if that was what her defense demanded; but in the end, they were able to negotiate her sentence down to 2 misdemeanors, with her punishment being only a year's probation. I was very gratified over the fact that they quoted me a fixed fee at the beginning, and never asked for any more fees as the process went on. I also found them both to be very accessible. I contacted them by email and phone on numerous occasions and they always replied the same day or the next. I always felt that they had my daughter's best interest at heart, but they also never let her forget how serious the trouble was that she had gotten into. I am extremely grateful to them for their time and expertise as well as the outcome they were able to negotiate for my daughter. I fear that, with a less competent team, the outcome could have been substantially worse.

Attorney Cartright-Jones was able to find major flaws in my dui case and was able to get the suspension and dui dismissed in a month. Had I not hired this attorney, I would have unnecessarily been charged with a dui. I can now go on with life. This attorney may be the best defense attorney in the Youngstown and surrounding area.

Thanks to Scott & Nolder I was released from prison early on judicial release. I was serving a 16 year term and got out 5 years early. Joe Scott worked hard for me and used all available resources to get me out. I have nothing but good things to say about Joe Scott. He is a good man and works hard for his clients.

Going with Friedman and Nemecek changed my life. Going through the scariest thing in my life coming from a person who went to war says a lot.. Ian and Maddy were my lifeline to getting through a legal nightmare. The communication and care that they gave throughout the entire process was exemplary. I cannot fathom another firm caring and understanding as much as they have. The way they help you feel secure about your situation and the hand holding that they give is out of this world. They had such patience with me and my constant communication that I needed to have to feel comfortable going through this. I can’t say enough good things about this firm, and I could honestly write paragraph after paragraph about how amazing Maddy and Ian are.

Over several years, I’ve used Dennis for a number of legal matters (mostly civil issues) - sometimes simply when I needed legal advice and in other times to represent me. At all times he has been helpful, knowledgeable, professional and reliable. In actions involving strongly held differing views, he has been most interested in reaching equitable solutions rather than taking a prolonged, negative approach, yet he will also fight for what is justified for his clients.

22 Jan, 2015 by Linda

I have been lucky enough to know Dennis Levin both personally and professionally for over 50 years. I have always admired his professionalism and knowledge of his field in law. That is why when I needed legal advice I hired his services. I trust him. He made himself available to me, educating and explaining to me about my options. In the end I was happy with the results. I give him high marks and I would feel very comfortable recommending him.

21 Jan, 2015 by Susan

Dennis has handled several matters for me over the years including a civil lawsuit, a business matter and my divorce. He is extremely knowledgable; very patient; responded to me in a very timely matter and most importantly - was victorious in my favor each and every time! I can't say enough about how great he is to work with and I highly recommend him for all of your legal needs.

Brad Wolfe represented me in two separate cases, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the outcome. From start to finish, he fought tirelessly on my behalf, ultimately securing dismissals on both cases. Brad is highly respected by judges, fellow attorneys, and prosecutors, which only adds to his strength as a defense lawyer. If I could rate him more than 10/10, I absolutely would. His dedication, expertise, and determination gave me confidence every step of the way. If you’re looking for a criminal defense lawyer, don’t think twice—Brad Wolfe is the one you want in your corner!

When law schools teach about zealously defending your client, there should be a picture of Mark Gardner. He doesn’t just defend you, but gives you great advice. Hiring him was the best decision I’ve ever made.

Having known Brad for many years, he was the first person I thought of when I ran into a legal issue and I am extremely happy and grateful for his representation in my case.

I could not recommend Brad enough to anyone looking for an attorney in the Cleveland area!

Matt was very upfront and honest about everything. It was very nice working with someone of his professional caliber. Matt was able to get the truth out to the right people and he was able to expose the ones who were lying. He was able to help get a very quick Not Guilty verdict from a jury with some common sense, (something that a few of Noble Counties public servants have very little of). Matt works extremely well with everyone involved and kept me very well informed throughout the whole process. I would recommend Matt to anyone in need of legal help. Thank you again Matt.

17 Mar, 2024 by Amanda wiggins

I have to say Matthew Mollica was a true blessing for our family as we struggled with the roller coaster of emotions that came with my husband’s case. He showed so much empathy and care for each of us every step of the way while also being to the point and not sugar coating the possible outcomes. Financially he knew we could not afford to retain him as our attorney but he is such an amazing person he humbly took our case. Matt is very knowledgeable in Ohio laws and fights with all he is for his clients. He was always there to answer any of my questions and very patient with my anxiety and emotional meltdowns. He is truly a an all around great guy and attorney. He continues to check in on me and always tells me to call with any questions or if I need anything. Our case is closed. We would not have gotten the outcome we did without his services. Without him my family’s lives would have been devastated. He goes above and beyond for his clients. He is an aggressive attorney but caring and compassionate. I highly recommend Matt for anyone that is facing legal hardships and needs someone that is going to fight to the fullest for them.

I was pulled over for a OVI and was put in contact with Mr. Mastandrea . Mr. Mastandrea kept me really calm during the process and assured me he’d do his best . That being said he got my OVI charge dropped to reckless driving which was a huge relief as I am in a green card process therefor a criminal offense would have likely affected my immigration status . I would absolutely recommend Rod for a lawyer for his professional and coolness .

There are two ways to look at life. You can either get bitter from all of life's challenges or you can be thankful for the good and the help that God brings. And Leslie has been that help for my family. Thank God we found Leslie because working with the previous attorney was an absolute nightmare in an already stressful and horrible situation. Leslie and Ashley both stepped in and worked their hardest to get to best possible outcome for a difficult case. They both knew immediately what to do and what steps to take. Leslie is calm, clear, and confident. She has continuously kept us up to date and has never made me feel like I was bothering her with my many questions. Leslie and Ashley are both trustworthy, hard-working committed attorneys and I would highly recommend them both.

After a hit and run accident last year, I had no idea how to start finding a personal injury lawyer. I didn’t even know that my case was a personal injury case until I found Obral Silk & Pal on Google and they reached back out to me right away to start the process. They were the first law firm to actually take me seriously and not dismiss my claim right away. They explained everything to me, and they also worked QUICKLY. Each and every person from the receptionists, paralegals and all involved were compassionate, caring and worked hard to help me with my case. Jacob DeBaltzo is a great lawyer, really went above and beyond on my case to get the most for me. He’s also funny and really compassionate too, he really understood my case and my unique circumstance. If you’re thinking about talking to a lawyer for personal injury, go to Obral Silk & Pal. They won’t disappoint.

Doug and Derek both helped me when I couldn't find any other attorney to work with me financially he helped prior to my court date with getting a warrant set aside. Then to my surprise Doug literally showed up to my court date without any advanced notice as I was filling out for a public defender and represented me got everything handled within the first court date and the charges are due to be dismissed and sealed, I owe it all to Funkhowser Law. Thank you guys for helping me and I will be coming back to you for any future legal needs. 1000000% recommend!!

Forced me to put a one star hal arenstein is a terrible lawyer he was supposed to be my lawyer but made a deal to send me to prison my first time ever being in trouble in my life I fired him and got probation 🤣👎🏻

Not the lawyer he once was! He lied to me and my family several times! Couldn’t trust him anymore! Made a deal behind our backs with the prosecutor to send my daughter to prison for her first felony ever. Long story short save your money! Go get Clyde Bennett. He did what Hal said couldn’t be done! Clyde got the charges dropped today! Hal told us she’s going to prison! It’s sad that a lawyer with his name has just given up and stopped caring about his clients! Clyde did just what he said he was going to do for us! Didn’t have to call a thousand times or text him! He did his job! Integrity is rare these days!

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.

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.
