Brian is the man, I reached out to many lawyers before him. It was either they didn’t bother to look into my case or they immediately wanted to charge an arm and a leg. Brian not only figured out what he could provide and help me with, within our first conversation, but he was the most realistic w/ expectations and most tedious with his findings. I recommend Mr. Lail to anyone in the area and anyone nearby.

My experiences with this stellar firm, its attorneys and staff were first class. I worked mostly with Juliet Peck, but also Cindy Negrete and Bernie Cerna (then a paralegal/legal assistant, but now an attorney). I felt that the entire firm, including Michael Lawrence, took a personal interest in my case. All the attorneys are well connected to the Monterey County legal community of other attorneys, judges, court clerks, experts, the Monterey County Bar Association, the Monterey College of Law and many others. Juliet and her team worked very hard on my case. They took a personal interest in my case, which ran through the dreaded COVID time. I watched Juliet, Cindy and Bernie in action in the courtroom, and they were "best of class." They had a rapport with the judges, court staff and even opposing attorneys. In the end, my results were extraordinary. Attorneys are like surgeons and body shops: You want the very best when you need one, but you hope never to need one again. However, if I ever need one again, I'll go back to Lawrence & Peck. And, I know they will remember me and take good care of me.

We were so lucky to be referred to Lawrence & Peck by our local attorney. Our attorney does not practice in the Salinas area and recommended Lawrence & Peck to handle a matter for us in Salinas. Everyone in the office is responsive and helpful. The legal advice we received and handling of our case in court was topnotch. We had a better outcome than I could have imagined thanks to the skill and expertise of the Lawrence & peck law firm.

There was a time, I was a credit disaster, I knew absolutely nothing about how credit works. I’d pay bills late thinking paying late was better than not paying at all. To be honest, I didn’t even know negatives lasted on your reports for 7 years. Why did I pay late? Because at the time, I’d think I needed to buy something shiney and then pay bills. To further my reckless behaviors, I had my house foreclosed on. To be honest, I don’t know why I checked my credit, which ultimately led me to this site where I found PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST, but I’m glad I did, reading as much testimonies as I could. My starting score was (low 500’s). All thanks to PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST, as of today, I’m sitting at EX: 808, TU: 812 and my lowest is EQ: 801. If I can offer one piece of advice that helped me, I’ll advise you to contact PINNACLE by email:

I had a hearing with the state board of nursing. The attorney I hired was a disappointment . He was totally unprepared, he kept asking for time during the hearing to review documents. I was not prepared, because I depended on my hired attorney. The few interactions we had prior to the hearing, he was more interested in if I wired his money, than on the evidence. The irony was is I had another attorney who was much less expensive, but I was not happy with the possible outcome.However Mr Khouri assured me he could do better, so I hired him. What a big mistake!!! After the disaster outcome, I called him about the follow up that the board wanted, he was quite uninterested. Even though the fee was a flat fee, after the hearing, could not get in touch with him. I have never had an attorney that was so blatantly aloof about a client

I have been a business owner for 15 years. In that time, I've dealt with the IRS, Treasury, HUD, FBI and PIS. I retained Michael for the newest government infringement and he has been nothing short of incredible. I've never had an attorney work so hard for me and so quickly. I do not mean he's fast with his work as in he doesn't take his time, I mean he is quick to act and ward off problems before they may begin to exist. In my first 3 days as a client, Attorney Khouri had sent several emails on my behalf, made several demands and had talked with me on the phone a dozen times and kept in constant contact between email and text messages. This kind of attorney is very, very rare. I would recommend Attorney Khouri to family and friends without hesitation.

I hired Mr. Kenyon in both a civil and criminal defense case regarding Marijuana and DUI. I've found that Charles did not keep proper notes regarding my case, as I've had to constantly remind him of what took place on the day of my arrest. During a suppression hearing regarding evidence, he admitted evidence we were trying to suppress. He was regularly late for court, and was not at his office at times we scheduled meetings. In the end, I had to fire Mr. Kenyon and appoint a public defender. Definitely not worth the $6k flat fee retainer.

I was arrested at 5 a.m on a Saturday morning and I asked a family member to find an attorney for me. She contacted Mr. Kenyon. He was extremely responsive and met with me over the weekend to set my expectations, gather facts, and begin formulating a strategy. He met with me again early Monday morning, briefed me on the steps he had taken, and once again did a fine job of ensuring I knew what would be happening over the next few days. As it turns out, my charges were dropped a few hours later, but it was clear that Mr. Kenyon was an excellent choice and had a firm grasp of dealing with the legal process, and developing a strategy for my defense. I would highly recommend him.

I met Christopher Swaby when he was assigned to my case by the Office of Assigned Council when I was facing charges of Felony Vehicular Assault. We were up against a particularly aggressive prosecutor with a reputation as a “take-no-prisoners” hard liner and a long list of convictions in similar cases. Mr. Swaby’s persistence in researching and interpreting the evidence and presenting the facts of my case to the court was impressive to me, especially coming from a public defense attorney. Our first offer from the court was to plea down to a Gross Misdemeanor which Mr. Swaby encouraged me to reject. His relentless pursuit of the facts and his handling of my case, particularly his ability to work with this prosecutor, resulted in all charges being dropped and my case being dismissed without prejudice. I hope to never be involved with the criminal justice system again, If I do, I know what attorney I will seek out.

Mark was awesome! He helped me vacate a misdemeanor so that I can get a second chance and move on with my life. He knew the statute well and how to represent my case. He was very quick and thorough in preparation and because of his bullet proof motion and supporting docs, the judge granted the motion. Mark didn't stop there, he followed up with the court clerks and Washington Patrol to follow up on my case so my record is cleared and the vacated case info doesn't show up in background checks. He proactively followed up with relevant authorities and kept me updated via emails and phone calls along the way. All for a low flat fee! I highly recommend Mark for any of your defence needs.

Several years ago, Mark was my public defender for a DUI case and was miraculously able to make a deal with the prosecutor outside of court to reduce the sentence to Reckless Driving with minimal consequences. Years later I needed an attorney and did not hesitate to reach out to Mark, now practicing from his private firm. Mark was able to get the case closed completely with no consequences. He is very knowledgeable and experienced in the Seattle court system and well connected with government attorneys and judges. He was also very generous with his rates and efficient with the time he spent. He genuinely cared about my well being and I consider him a friend now. Thanks Mark!

So he hasn't represented me but he's definitely not representing my friend. But so far my friend has met this man 1 times and has been in a court room 4 soon to be 5 and this man was there for the first hearing and didn't accomplish anything and hasn't been to any of the other hearings and will not answer the phone when his client has called him and the times he has answered the phone he has said he can't speak to them on the phone because it's recorded by the jail and then he has proceeded to not show up to any more of the court dates that his client has had and it seems like all they are doing is postponing the actual trial date just to collect the paycheck is what I'm guessing I don't know how they get paid but he is definitely not done anything for his client and he will not answer the phone call from his client and he will not answer the phone call from his client's friend which is me to get any information about the case I don't know much about how attorneys work and the fact that he's a public defender for this client makes me believe that he just doesn't care and actually I know he doesn't care because well he just won't answer phone calls he won't respond to a message that you leave him he has not called me back to talk to me actually I've called him just to have him hang up on me so lack of better words this man is a very unprofessional and does not care about his clients so that's just a speculation from the outside looking in but from what I've seen I would not recommend this guy to anyone unless they plan on just throwing their money away because lazy does not answer phone calls I mean it's a phone call it's all you got to do is answer and then be courteous and talk to the person let them know something but no his client just sits there gets nothing back from him at all except for false hope saying that he's going to do something but he doesn't do it and doesn't get it done and then when you see it in action well he doesn't try very hard because so far he's had somebody else step in and do his job for him but didn't do his job at all so totally useless is an attorney in my eyes and if I could give zero Stars I would because one star is too much

I hired him for help with two OVIs. As a young man and this being my first charge, I was very nervous and racked with guilt. He was great about making sure he answered all my questions to ease my concerns and leave me feeling as worry free as he could. He over delivered both times. Mr. Wolfe was terrific about listening to me and helping me understand what was happening in both of my cases. He helped get one dropped as an OVI and settled the other one for minimal costs and punishments. He helped me maintain driving privileges both times and kept me out of jail and out of rehab. I went with a different lawyer (under the advisement of a family member) for my third OVI. The other lawyer was way higher priced and didn’t seem to care much about the case or me. This really highlighted my experience with Mr. Wolfe. He cares about you as his client and he will give you the time of day to make sure you are heard.

I was looking at 5 years in prison for felony weapons charges, and the original plea bargain was 3 years in prison with my first lawyer. So I fired him and retained Arthur. When everything was said and done, with Arthur's representation, I was sentenced to 8 months in the workhouse and 5 years of unsupervised probation. Arthur's communication was above and beyond what I expected, and he even met with me on a Sunday. With previous counsel, I felt like my life was coming to an end, but with Arthur there was a light at the end of the tunnel - and that light was freedom. Worth. Every. Penny.

A first class criminal defense lawyer who is the best in the business. I hired this guy for a family member, on the day after Thanksgiving in 2023, and after following the process and facts that they laid out over 9 months, my family member with no prior criminal record got the results he wanted. His associate John Trehune was a gift from God. Because of his 40 years experience and Aaron Delgado’s reputation with the court system, relationship building and correct guidance to follow the process, my family member received a fair trial. Was it everything I wanted….No! My expectations are very high. Having said that, the outcome was a win and we could not be more pleased with the money spent. Just like everything in life, you get what you pay for. Don’t waste your time hiring and searching for the best criminal defense attorney in town. Call this man and talk to him, then hire him and be patient following the process. The outcome will be a WIN!

When I think of my time with Cindy Wysocki, Esq., tears of deep gratitude literally come to my eyes as I recall her strength and gentleness, her humor and sharp critical thinking, her willingness to get into the ultimate fighting cage we call the judicial system and her reluctance to throw a punch, and her commitment to fairness and open-hearted compassion. To the lawyer or firm across the virtual table, Cindy must seem formidable and relentless. To me as her client-friend, she was comforting, encouraging, and grounding. I never had to yield my voice or stuff down my questions. AND, Cindy held my concerns and fears, my heightened emotions and (sometimes) clear intuitive insights respectfully while guiding them in positive, productive ways. And best of all, Cindy knew me well enough at the end of a grueling process to be able to then assist and guide me in my needs to safeguard my estate and financial assets to be sure to leave them secure for the ones I love the most. Above all, I am forever grateful to Cindy for accompanying me as a caring fellow human being during one of the most devastating times of my personal life journey.

When I think of my time with Cindy Wysocki, Esq., tears of deep gratitude literally come to my eyes as I recall her strength and gentleness, her humor and sharp critical thinking, her willingness to get into the ultimate fighting cage we call the judicial system and her reluctance to throw a punch, and her commitment to fairness and open-hearted compassion. To the lawyer or firm across the virtual table, Cindy must seem formidable and relentless. To me as her client-friend, she was comforting, encouraging, and grounding. I never had to yield my voice or stuff down my questions. AND, Cindy held my concerns and fears, my heightened emotions and (sometimes) clear intuitive insights respectfully while guiding them in positive, productive ways. And best of all, Cindy knew me well enough at the end of a grueling process to be able to then assist and guide me in my needs to safeguard my estate and financial assets to be sure to leave them secure for the ones I love the most. Above all, I am forever grateful to Cindy for accompanying me as a caring fellow human being during one of the most devastating times of my personal life journey. She stayed by my side through unprecedented conditions, with unconditional care and concern, as one of the few who did in my life. Cindy is a legal Bodhisattva!!

Donna Hung absolutely saved my life as a father. There is no attorney in central Florida that can think on their feet, and actually make things happen, the way Donna does. I truthfully believe from the bottom of my heart that she is the best there is, and I would recommend her to anyone that actually wants the best outcome. Any past complaints on pricing, or whatever…. You honestly get what you pay for. Thank you, to Donna and your team. You guys are absolute rockstars.

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.
