When I first met Mr. Andrews it was pertaining to a moving violation citation I received. Throughout the consultation he explained what he could do to reduce the citation to a lesser expense. Once I hired him, he gave me very clear instructions on steps I needed to take to show the prosecutor that I took the citation seriously. By completing these actions he would be able to reduce the citation to just having to pay the fine and not getting any points on my license. Even though I took longer than I should have to complete these steps, Mr. Andrews continued the case two different times to allow me extra time to get it done. During this time, I moved to a city 250 miles away. Mr. Andrews worked with the prosecutor to see if anything could be done to help prevent me from having to make the long drive to appear in court. I was very pleased when Mr. Andrews contacted me to inform me that the citation had been reduced to a warning. What really impressed me is that even though he had to do some extra work to continue the case because I couldn't complete everything in the timeframe allowed. He stood by his original quote. He is very thorough, communicates clearly, and does what he says he will. I would recommend Mr. Andrews for any kind of traffic case. He will most definitely get the job done to your advantage.

From the first phone call, Matt was caring, positive and explained every aspect of what our son was going to be involved with in the legal system. It was our first experience and we were out of town for the entire process. Hiring Matt was the best thing we could do to support our son despite the fact we didn’t support his actions. Literally, Matt handled our son’s case as if he was family. The communication we received was constant and thorough. He knew the law in depth but added a special human touch for us. He was successful in getting our son’s charges reduced with a sentence of probation only. We will be forever grateful to Matt.

I made some very stupid mistakes with my friends a couple of years ago, and ended up getting a court letter in the mail about a year later stating that I was being charged with 3 misdemeanors. This was my first time ever being involved with the law, as I had never received even a parking ticket prior to this incident. I felt completely overwhelmed and anxious for days, and even had trouble sleeping. I searched around for different lawyers in my area, and immediately felt comfortable with Dyke and his assistant Kym. He was extremely understanding of my situation, yet very straightforward and clear with his approach to tackle the whole ordeal. He helped to put my mind at ease with the court case and was very professional, yet friendly, at the same time. He handled everything for me and represented in me court. Dyke was able to get my charges dismissed through some volunteer work and restitution fees. I was given a 2nd chance in life to stay on a straight path and out of trouble, and have done just that since this case about 2 years ago. I highly recommend Dyke, his work is absolutely superb.

Dyke is a legend as far as I am concerned. He has gotten me out of big time trouble using his knowledge of the law. While he has a small firm just him and his secretary I have witnessed the magic that he can do in a court room. He is straight to the point when it comes to your case and is passionate about each and everyone of his clients. While he's been my attorney for multiple cases he has never let me down even when the odds where severely stacked against me. Not to mention he is willing to work with you on his cost, while he isn't cheap he is extremely fair. But as far as attorneys go I will never use a different one and would recommend him to anyone I care about if they were to get themselves in a sticky situation. I can't thank the man enough for what he has done for me!

This is long overdue. I am a former Marine, got into some stupid trouble (first time in my life). Dyke was a great advocate and adviser. He didn't sugar coat anything but he remained buoyant and positive. Despite fact that I ended up pleading out and going to prison I know Dyke did everything in his power to help me. All is good now and it's a lesson learned. Smart, trustworthy and reliable and good taste in music and guitar players. Highest recommendation.

I recently had the privilege of being represented by Ed Flores in a high profile street racing case, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for his outstanding service. From the very beginning, him and his team demonstrated a deep understanding of the law and a commitment to my case that went above and beyond my expectations. From my initial consultation, it was clear that Ed and his team were experts in criminal defense. They meticulously reviewed all the details of my case, identifying key areas to challenge the prosecution’s evidence. Their knowledge of the legal system and past case precedents was instrumental in building a strong defense. Throughout the entire process, I was kept informed about every development in my case. Ed made sure I understood my options and the potential outcomes at every stage. This transparency and open communication provided me with peace of mind and confidence that I was in good hands. What impressed me most was the strategic approach taken by Ed. They left no stone unturned, conducting thorough investigations and consulting with experts to support my defense. Their tenacity in the courtroom was evident as they presented compelling arguments that ultimately led to my case having the half a dozen charges dropped which included a felony as well. Beyond their legal expertise, the team at Flores Law Group was incredibly compassionate and supportive. The ultimate result speaks for itself – my street racing case was dismissed, and I can now move forward with my life without the burden of a criminal record. This outcome was a direct result of Ed's hard work, dedication, and exceptional legal skills. I highly recommend Flores Law Group to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney. They are truly the best in the business, and I am forever grateful for their help. If you find yourself in need of legal representation, look no further than Flores Law Group – they will fight for you every step of the way!

I was referred to Mr. Flores by a friend. This was a blessing in disguise, from the start Mr. Flores and his staff were kind, honest, and informative. My case was regarding a car accident with a DUI driver hitting the vehicle I was in. The case was complicated due to many factors. Yet, I never felt like Mr.Flores attitude or approach changed during this time. Each conversation with him and Ruth felt genuine and full of information. We ended this 3 year case with him recommending a great book to any parent new or old, “ The Conscious Parent”. Thank you for your help and for the great recommendation. I feel lucky to have been represented by Mr. Flores.

We are beyond grateful for all of the work and time Mr. Flores and his team gave to my case. He was upfront and knowledgeable with our outcomes, and we feel that his advice got us the best possible result. Through the worst time in our life, he was there with us and has helped change our life for the better. From the beginning consultation, we trusted Mr. Flores and felt that he would have our best interest in mind. He always answered any questions we had and made us feel that he was on our side to guide us to a resolution. Ruth, his office manager, is also amazing and helped us throughout the process. Thanks to Mr. Flores and his team, we can continue on with our life with this case finally resolved. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone in need. Thank you so much for everything Mr. Flores.

I will always value the level of trust and safeness that Julia extended to me throughout my custody trial. I couldn’t have imagined going through such a painful even, without Julia in my corner, defending me at every step of the way. The level of knowledge that Julia has and her ability to showcase her years of experience in such a respectful but aggressive manor, makes the choice of retaining her, without a doubt, a decision that I will always be grateful for!

I called several lawyers in Brazoria County. Most of them took my name and number. A couple of them returned my call but gave me little to consider. When I called Sandy she immediately pulled the public files and thoroughly reviewed the situation. She told me what she thought was the best course of action. Her attitude and her compassion seemed real and I hired her right on the spot. Thru the entire ordeal Sandra was available to answer all our questions. Thru phone and text Sandra was always honest, direct, and most importantly she always returned calls and texts immediately. I can't tell you important that was. The previous court appointed attorney would take days and even weeks to get back to us. What I learned was never use a court appointed attorney. And if you need legal help make your first call to "Sandra Oballe". When we were looking at a year jail time Sandra got time served !!!

I was charged with two counts of a gross misdemeanor in 2020 by a Lakewood police officer. Prior to the incident, 2020 was a big mess for me. However this incident was mind numbingly bad and surreal. It all basically stems from me (I do regret drinking at the park) drinking at a park, taking pictures and talking on the phone… Cops who patrol the park every 30 minutes approach me. This is where things turns messy, though I complied with the cop orders, I was triggered by him accusing me of saying “inappropriate things to underage girls” even though he did inform me to leave before saying that, however my mindset was “if you felt that was true you should have never gave me the option to leave” needless to say we got into a hostile like argument, the cop visibly angry and frustrated grab my wrist and arrested me… later found out through Kurt that he wrote a false, disgusting,gross,humiliating police report about that incident with hopes of a conviction. Basically it was a classic crooked cop tactic, but then again, I gave him fuel since I was drinking, and I did argue with him, but you live and learn, 2020 was a year we all want to forget, and of course learn from….. *conclusion* Kurt Stender was the perfect attorney for this case, the man was perfect. Calm,cool, and collective. Very logical, he has a keen sense of common sense, very understandable, he has an instinct that detects whose truly innocent and most importantly, a very honest and sincere attorney throughout this whole ordeal. My case was ultimately dismissed, I asked Kurt about an expungement, he said I wouldn’t need one after the dismissal. What more can you say about this man?

I was charged with a Felony >1-year after I called the Sheriff's Office to report an attack upon myself, family, and pets; during which our house-cat had been mauled to death on our front porch by a pack of marauding dogs. I was knocked to the ground of my front porch during the attack with vicious dogs atop. Said large black guard dogs were cited under RCW 16.08.100 repeatedly over the year prior/after to the attack(s) upon my household, even cited for trespass for the attack that night. Sadly, over the years involved, even more livestock/pets were attacked, even a few other humans. The Sheriff's Office has stated repeatedly that I did what I had to do to protect myself and others from even greater harm. 11-months of court circus later, the Prosecutor's Office finally Dismissed the Felony Charge. Self-Defense does include defending self, others, and property from attack by a trespassing, marauding pack of known-dangerous dogs; especially includes being on your back on your front porch while attacked. Kurt defended my family from the circus of court proceedings. He helped me navigate the emotional roller-coaster of being wrongfully charged when in fact I was the wholly innocent victim of a violent crime. Kurt went above and beyond to ensure that my professional career and my family were shielded and protected. Self-Defense is under attack. Kurt was my Legal Defense in Criminal Court. Through Kurt's intricate and extensive knowledge of the Legal System, the Case was Dismissed just prior to Jury Trial. Kurt is my defense attorney referral for all my family and friends.

If you have the opportunity to use Kelli Day as your legal counsel in your child custody case, you will NOT regret it. Kelli and her team go over and beyond each and every day. She truly cares for her clients and the children involved in her cases. You are not just another case number. She keeps you updated, and you don’t have to worry if things are being handled. She knows child custody/divorce law. Period. The new laws, the old laws and everything in between. Kelli took on my case that was challenging to say the least. She made methodical and precise moves to have the outcome move in my favor without even having to take it before the Judge in a trial. Albeit, if you should need her to fight your battles in the court room, she will do it with grace and tenacity. There’s not a better choice than Kelli Day for a Child Custody Attorney in the river region.

Mrs. Daniels is a wonderful attorney. She is very passionate and dedicated to the work that she does and I am more than satisfied with the services I received from her. You work one on one with her and she is always available via phone or email whenever you have questions about your case. I would recommend her to anyone who needs to be defended because she works thoroughly and is very personable. I was so stressed out about my case and she calmed me down and fought for me! She puts her heart and soul in the work that she does and she truly cares about her clients. My case was dismissed!! She is amazing and if I ever need an attorney again in the future she will be the one I call.

Brad Laybourne worked tirelessly on my case for almost 3 years. This being my first time needing a lawyer, I started by researching where he went to school. Brad was educated at Stanford University and the University of California. He comes from a long line of lawyers in his family and he has been in practice in our area since 2004 with wonderful reviews. I am proud Brad represented me not just because of his intelligence and talent as a lawyer, but also as a person of integrity and compassion. He was tough when he fought for my truth, and kind when he saw my suffering. Brad kept me informed and discussed his thoughts with me every step of the way. He respected my thoughts and made me feel part of the team. My case was settled out of court and the result reached above both of our expectations. Brad has my gratitude and highest recommendation.

Our son was recently named in an unfounded, false and potentially defamatory accusation. We consulted Mr. Laybourne to see what options may be available to us in the event this false accusation is filed. Brad not only talked to my husband a couple of times on the phone, but was also willing to meet with us in person so I could receive some clarification and understand the situation better. He spent quite a bit of time with us and at no point did I feel rushed through or patronized. I'm sure he hears about these situations every day. Brad was highly professional, patient, yet personable and we could tell he understood by asking pertinent questions while we repeated our concerns over and over. I'm confident that, if needed, we will retain Brad to represent our son as he thoroughly understands our frustration and the impact this could have on his future and reputation. For a family that has never had to have an legal consult, it is reassuring to know there are people out there that listen, believe and care who you are. Thank you, Brad!

I had met Brad about 6 months ago and never thought I would need a lawyer. Unfortunately I needed the advice and help of a lawyer so I reached out to Brad. He gave me a call on a Saturday afternoon to discuss my issues and is helping me to get done what I need. He was very genuine in his conversations with me and I know I can trust him to do what he says!

If you are ever faced with being the recipient of a friend, family member, colleague or a client's one and only phone call from jail, and they are imploring you to obtain the BEST criminal defense attorney to represent them. Don't panic, do what I did, call Mr. Mark J. Petrovich. A lawyer's lawyer! AMAZING ATTORNEY! Highly respected by both his peers and judges alike. With decades of experience he has the legal expertise to handle the most challenging situations. Hard working, conscientious, detail-oriented, well prepared, direct, no-nonsense, thinks on his feet, confident, honest, empathetic, compassionate, understanding, are all attributes I experienced working with him. He took the time and had the patience to answer the multitude of hard hitting questions I asked and assured me that he would do his very best, which he did, in record time! If I were ever in need of legal counsel, for myself, there would be no one that I would trust more. He helped me, to help someone, who had entrusted their life to me and he did not let us down!

I've been meaning to express my gratitude for a considerable time. Last year, Andrew took on my case concerning some deeply upsetting events, providing unwavering support and readily responding to my emails and calls. It was an incredibly difficult period; my custody agreement was being modified, and my children were removed from my care, but Andrew secured their return. The journey was arduous, but he helped me rebuild my life and overcome the trauma. I am profoundly grateful to Andrew. I understand he was simply doing his job, and seeking legal counsel can be daunting, but Andrew and Kris Greenwood, thank you both sincerely from the bottom of my heart.

What a terrible experience. Lower retainer fee, but the hourly fee is $400. I got charged for verifying emails were received, for checking up on my slacker attorney, I got billed for time taken when I visited the office to pay in person. I got charged for more administrative garbage than actual case work. This is an absolute money grab while my attorney basically laid down and took a beating any time I needed her. When custody is at risk, a lazy dishonest attorney is the WORST team mate to have. I absolutely regret any and all involvement I had with KKG. After getting the shaft for 6 months, getting charged at every turn, I fired my attorney and hired one from a different firm - that was the best decision I could have made.

The attorney manipulated his client by not disclosing cost on his end and cost for supervised visits at $400 an hour. Kids are back in an unsafe environment since attorney refused to go to court. Paid $13,000.00 and came away with nothing. My children are in danger and this attorney only cares about money and how many cases he can close in a 3 month period.

I didn't have a good experience working with Thiemann. I was referred to him by another attorney at this firm. He was my representation for a shirt while. Thiemann had me in tears & I felt like he was the opposing attorney against me when he was supposed to be helping me. He made me feel like I was stupid almost every time I talked to him. They had another attorney I had worked with do the rest of Thiemanns job. To be honest, after all this time, I know that attorney wasn't fully prepared to take the case on & it was just handed to him, sad.

Being a full time student, working a full time job, and dealing with COVID quarantine made time management a bit difficult but Ryan always managed to quickly respond to any questions I had. Ryan was able to get me on just a year probation. 6 months into probation I worked with him again to get me early termination of probation and everything went smoothly.

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.
