All good for George Scharmen and his paralegal. George's paralegal, Elsa, is very good. She does what she says and is very prompt. My experience with Elsa has been as good as it could be.

If you find yourself in need of a DWI attorney who is not only highly skilled but also genuinely committed to getting you the best possible outcome, look no further than Mr. George Scharmen. From the moment I reached out for a consultation, I was impressed by his professionalism and expertise in handling DWI cases. One of the standout qualities of Mr. Scharmen is his strategic approach to each case. He took the time to thoroughly review the details of my situation, identify key legal issues, and develop a solid defense strategy. This level of preparation instilled confidence in me that my case was in capable hands.

Mark was very diligent while fighting my case. Facing six felonies and three misdemeanors the outcome was not looking good. After hiring Mark, I was able to get only seven days in jail to be able to keep my job and participate in a drug court program. I was more than happy with the way he handled my case and would urge anyone with legal trouble to look into hiring him!

We are incredibly grateful for the Barrera Law Firm. Ricardo went above and beyond to support us. He kept constant communication, guided us through every step, and treated us like family when we appeared in court. He was incredibly well prepared and ensured that we comprehended every aspect of what was occurring in the courtroom. Through his expert defense, he managed to have my son's felony charge dismissed. My son still has a misdemeanor pending, but Ricardo is still working on it. Ricardo, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You've given my son the chance to carry on with life, and for that, we'll always be indebted to you.

I had been fighting my case for 9 months until I was able to get assigned Mr. Trelevan and he got my case ended in 3 months and it only took that long because of them making my court dates so far apart or he would have got it ended sooner. He’s honest and doesn’t sugarcoat nothing. I’m proud to say he was my lawyer because my case would still be going on if it wasn’t for him. He is definitely godsent!

I recently had the pleasure of consulting with Sylvia Cavasos regarding some serious charges of false claims made against me. From the outset, Sylvia's expertise was evident; she provided me with a thorough, confident consultation, outlining various strategies and options tailored to my specific situation. Sylvia's knowledge of the law was not only comprehensive but also communicated in a manner that was clear and reassuring. Her ability to navigate complex legal landscapes with such professionalism made all the difference during a challenging time. She listened attentively to my concerns, offering insightful advice that was both actionable and reassuring. Her approach to my case was marked by an exceptional level of expertise and a genuine commitment to her clients' well-being. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend Sylvia Cavasos to anyone in need of legal counsel. Her dedication to her clients is truly commendable, and I look forward to potentially working with her again in the future. Thank you, Sylvia, for your exceptional service and support.

Courtney Bellio and Kayla Nordlum are a powerhouse legal duo. Courtney is a true professional is every sense of the word. She's also a deeply empathetic human who will pour her heart and soul into your case and Kayla will keep everything flawlessly organized on the back end. I cannot recommend Courtney enough. Family Law can be exceptionally overwhelming. Courtney makes it slightly less painful. She'll be brutally honest, but she's fair and forthcoming. I'm sure there are other equally qualified attorneys, but Courtney is by far one of the best.

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.

Attorney Benjamin Luftman represented me back in 2017. Im leaving a review now because back then i wasnt aware of how helpful and important reviews were and over time as i learned how important they were ive just forgotten to leave a review. So i feel i should leave one now. So. Back on topic. Mr.luftman represented me back in 2017 for allegations that were made against me and without going to deep into detail what i will say is Mr.Luftman and his team were very kind. Answered any questions i had and were just the absolute best. While searching for an attorney i only wanted the best and this law firm was on top of the list. Even to this day. Years after everything has been said and done with the case in 2017 he continues to answer random questions down the line with the utmost honesty. Whether i like the answer or not. He doesnt hide anything. He was reasonably priced. He will be the one i turn to if anything shall happen in the future though i hope i may never have to call him again. I highly HIGHLY recommend turning to Luftman, Heck and associates should you need legal services. One other thing i will add is if you need lawyers for different situations if he doesn't handle your type of case he has nothing but the best recommendations for other law firms and has connected me with yet another top lawyer dealing with family matters. I urge you to make this law firm your first call should you need any type of legal services as if they cannot serve you they will point you in the best direction to get help.

My family and I cannot recommend Axley, and specifically the legal services of Erika Bierma, more strongly. Erika’s professionalism, work ethic, dedication to her clients, and exceptional skill as a defense attorney softened the immense stress and difficulty of more than one legal issue for my family. She achieved sentencing outcomes so favorable we didn’t even consider them possible, all while providing a guiding hand through the complexities of the legal process. Since 2016, our family has worked on various occasions with Erika to navigate legal issues stemming from substance abuse. Through all this, she was compassionate, straightforward, and clearly communicated all possible paths forward. She has a deep understanding of and empathy for the wide range of emotions that her clients experience while dealing with these sensitive issues. Further, she is well-versed and excellently connected to resources, including therapists, counselors, and recovery programs, throughout the area. Erika and her team, most notably her assistant Paula Mueller, are incredibly responsive to calls, emails, and texts. Every question, every worry, every clarification you ask about is answered promptly. It’s hard to believe this level of quick, clear, and compassionate communication could be found with any other attorney or firm. A five star review isn't nearly enough. My family and I cannot recommend her with more enthusiasm and gratitude. -- Teresa Darcy, MD

Attorney Chester has been referred to me by the online Montgomery Bar Association Referral Service. NO THE PHONE REFERRAL SERVICE, I have to underline that because they are incredible and do they best to assist. Back to Mr.Chester! I contacted him for a Condo Association dispute. first thing on the phone, He asked me what is the management company, I told him and he answered: " the company is owned by a good friend of his". Without being an attorney I spotted a conflict of interest right at the beginning of the conversation and the end of the conversation attests it and the lack of objectivity of this attorney. He found normal for a management company to hold a storage key of an owner for 2 years, He found normal a management company don't have and hold accurate and update paperwork. That management provide a 1989 ( 35 YEARS OLD) contract to be applied on a newly owned property of 2020. and so on. I definitely DO NOT recommend this attorney. He doesn't go to court to represent you or the law he studied!! This attorney response to the review show you should not even think going there.

I recently asked Attorney Chris Morales some questions about criminal defense, and I was impressed with his responses. He provided clear and concise answers that showed his expertise in the field. I particularly appreciated his emphasis on remaining silent when interacting with law enforcement and his approach to building a strong attorney - client relationships. Overall, I was impressed with Attorney Morales' knowledge and experience. If you're looking for a criminal defense attorney in the San Francisco Bay Area, I'd definitely recommend considering him.

He is very authentic and transparent, and that's such an important factor for me when choosing an attorney.

I was so lucky to find Morgan Lake when I did. I bought a Jeep in Puyallup, Washington, drove it for 4 hours on I-90, then watched one of its wheels suddenly sheer off it at the studs. The dealership was unwilling to make things right, so I got in touch with Lake Law to understand my options. I, a Florida resident, felt properly lost trying to pick up the pieces after being cheated by a Washington used car dealer, but with Morgan's help, I had what I needed to get this issue resolved. Morgan Lake spoke with me on the phone extensively. He made sure that I was not only aware of my options, but clearly understood each of them. He gave me action steps which I have followed to great effect. Lake Law is a 10/10 law firm and Morgan Lake is a 10/10 attorney. He is a class act.

I had an excellent experience with Ham Family Law. Attorney Caroline Ham was incredibly compassionate and understanding throughout all of my legal frustrations. She showed me a lot of empathy, and at the same time, was very straight-forward with her advice. Ms. Ham's knowledge of family law is extremely impressive, and I felt very confident with the guidance I received from her. I highly recommend Ham Family Law for anyone seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable firm for family law matters!

His price was very reasonable, especially considering the service he and his staff provided. I have never been given so many documents that explained the whole process and reminders on what was discussed and best practices. I would highly recommend Randy to anyone.

We were trying to apply for a spouse visa. After trying to do it ourselves and got scammed by an immigration attorney, it was a blessing that we met Marc and it was the best decision we ever made to take him as our attorney Process took about 1 year, yes it might seem long but the hold up was from our side. We were caught up with our daily life and didn't able to comply Marc's request according to his timeline, however, Marc is always patience with us Once I got my interview schedule in my home country, Marc was willing to have video conference and did a trial interview with me I've been in this country for almost a year and already got my green card. Every now and then I had some legal questions about legal documents and Marc is always able to answer my question thoroughly Again, taking Marc as our attorney is the best decision ever. We met a lot of people that had issues with immigration and they all use Marc and they're successfully get what they need Whenever we meet someone in need of an immigration lawyer, Marc is always on our speed dial

Marc is an attorney with questionable ethics, integrity, and honesty, took on an immigration case for my sister-in-law, who was dealing with the U.S. Embassy in Kinshasa. He claimed to have handled similar cases and requested $3,500 from a vulnerable African woman. However, once paid, he began avoiding her and neglected the case entirely. Despite the urgency of the situation, Marc wasted months without doing any meaningful work. By August, he had made no progress and consistently avoided meeting with us, claiming he was sick. In total, he only spent 2.5 hours with her, and even though we sent him over 45 emails, he never responded. Marc has refused to refund the money and caused my sister-in-law’s case to miss critical deadlines. As a WMU alumnus and former resident of Kalamazoo, Marc is taking advantage of immigrant families. Please do not trust his services—he's only interested in taking your money. We ended up working on the case ourselves and left him with the money, but we know God is seeing him. DO NOT PAY HIM FULLY BEFORE THE END OF THE CASE.

What a Juvenile Law Lawyer Can Do for You

A juvenile law lawyer specializes in legal issues involving minors, including those facing criminal charges, child welfare matters, or status offenses (like truancy or curfew violations). Juvenile law lawyers aim to protect the rights of minors and advocate for rehabilitation rather than punishment in criminal cases. They also help families navigate child custody, abuse, neglect cases, and other legal matters involving children.

If your child is facing criminal charges, or you are involved in a child welfare case, a juvenile law lawyer can help protect your child’s rights and work toward the most favorable outcome.

When Should I Hire a Juvenile Law Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a juvenile law lawyer in the following situations where minors are involved in legal matters:

  • Juvenile criminal charges: If your child is accused of a crime, such as theft, assault, or drug offenses, a juvenile lawyer can represent them in juvenile court, advocating for leniency and alternatives to detention.
  • Delinquency proceedings: A lawyer can help navigate delinquency charges, defending your child’s rights and seeking rehabilitative outcomes like counseling, probation, or diversion programs instead of incarceration.
  • Status offenses: If your child has committed a status offense, such as truancy, running away, or underage drinking, a lawyer can help you resolve these issues in juvenile court, often focusing on rehabilitation rather than punishment.
  • School disciplinary issues: If your child is facing school suspensions, expulsions, or other disciplinary actions, a lawyer can help protect their educational rights and challenge any unfair or unlawful school policies.
  • Child protective services (CPS) investigations: If your family is being investigated by CPS for alleged abuse, neglect, or dependency, a lawyer can represent you and protect your child’s rights throughout the investigation.
  • Custody disputes: A lawyer can help in cases involving child custody or guardianship disputes, ensuring the child’s best interests are prioritized and advocating for the child’s rights.
  • Emancipation: If your child seeks legal emancipation from their parents or guardians, a lawyer can assist in navigating the legal process and help the child understand their rights and responsibilities.

Hiring a lawyer early in the legal process ensures that your child’s rights are protected and that the best possible outcomes are pursued.

What Does a Juvenile Law Lawyer Do?

A juvenile law lawyer provides various services to help minors and their families navigate the legal system. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Representing minors in court: A lawyer will represent your child in juvenile court, advocating for their rights and seeking rehabilitative outcomes rather than punitive measures.
  • Filing motions and legal paperwork: The lawyer handles all necessary legal filings, including petitions, responses, and motions to dismiss charges or suppress evidence.
  • Negotiating with prosecutors: In some cases, a lawyer can negotiate plea deals or diversion programs that prevent the child from having a permanent criminal record or serving time in detention.
  • Advising on rehabilitation programs: Juvenile law lawyers often focus on alternatives to incarceration, such as counseling, community service, or probation, helping minors avoid long-term legal consequences.
  • Handling CPS and child welfare cases: If your family is involved in a CPS investigation or child welfare case, the lawyer can advocate for your child’s safety and well-being, ensuring that their rights are upheld.
  • Defending minors against school discipline: A lawyer can help challenge unfair or excessive disciplinary actions taken by schools, ensuring that your child’s educational rights are protected.
  • Advising families on legal options: A lawyer will explain the juvenile legal process to families, offering advice on the best legal strategies and what to expect during the case.

How Are Juvenile Law Lawyers Paid?

Juvenile law lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the time involved. Common payment structures include:

  • Hourly rate: Many juvenile law lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
  • Flat fee: For simpler cases, such as status offenses or school disciplinary hearings, a lawyer may charge a flat fee that covers all legal services related to the case.
  • Retainer: In more complex cases, such as defending against serious criminal charges or handling a long-term CPS investigation, a lawyer may require a retainer, which is an upfront payment billed against as they work on the case.
  • Sliding scale or pro bono services: Some juvenile law lawyers offer sliding scale fees based on income or may provide pro bono (free) services for families who cannot afford to pay full legal fees, especially in cases involving child welfare or delinquency.

Discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to understand the total cost and payment options.

How Much Does a Juvenile Law Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a juvenile law lawyer depends on the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the time involved. General cost estimates include:

  • Juvenile criminal cases: Legal fees for defending a minor in juvenile criminal cases can range from $2,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the severity of the charges and whether the case goes to trial.
  • Status offenses: For cases involving minor offenses such as truancy or underage drinking, legal fees typically range from $1,500 to $5,000.
  • CPS or child welfare cases: Legal fees for representing families in CPS investigations or child welfare cases can range from $2,000 to $8,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.
  • School disciplinary hearings: Legal fees for representing students in school-related issues may range from $1,000 to $3,500, depending on the legal work required.

Make sure to get a clear estimate of costs during your initial consultation to ensure you understand the full scope of fees and services.

Top Questions to Ask a Juvenile Law Lawyer

Before hiring a juvenile law lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the experience and expertise to handle your child’s case effectively. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with juvenile law cases?
    Make sure the lawyer has handled cases similar to yours, whether it’s juvenile delinquency, child custody, or CPS investigations.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, offers flat fees, or requires a retainer. Ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my child’s case?
    Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of the case, including potential challenges and likely outcomes.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Juvenile cases can vary in duration, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what factors might affect the timeline.
  5. Will you personally handle my child’s case?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing the case and representing your child in court.
  6. What rights does my child have?
    Ask the lawyer to explain your child’s legal rights, including their rights during police questioning, school disciplinary actions, and court proceedings.

How to Check the Credibility of a Juvenile Law Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable juvenile law lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and experience:

  • Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for juvenile law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in juvenile law and have successfully handled cases similar to yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate in juvenile cases.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on juvenile law matters.
  • Check for certifications or memberships: Look for memberships in organizations like the National Juvenile Defender Center (NJDC) or certifications in juvenile law, which can indicate a lawyer’s dedication to representing minors.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a juvenile law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Court documents: Bring any legal documents related to your child’s case, such as summons, complaints, or court orders.
  • School records: Provide any relevant school records, including disciplinary reports, attendance records, and communications from school officials.
  • CPS or investigation reports: If your case involves child welfare, bring any reports or documentation from CPS or other investigating agencies.
  • Timeline of events: Prepare a detailed timeline of events related to your child’s legal issue, including interactions with authorities or school officials.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions about the legal process, your child’s rights, and potential outcomes for the case.

Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your child’s situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice tailored to your needs.
