This law firm acted swiftly. I do have to say, the support staff interacted and responded quickly. Thank you Stephanie Lynch and Susan. I appreciate you staying in contact and communication. I only had 1 interaction with an actual lawyer before mediation. I didn’t not have to go through court proceedings. The case was handled through mediation quickly. Please know and find out your employment rights! This law firm does hold up to it’s reputation.

I found myself in need of a lawyer and I knew I had to make a choice as to who would represent me. Hands down the best decision I could have ever made! Greg is a true professional and a bulldog in the courtroom. When I first contacted him I was nervous and scared. Greg reassured me and told me not to worry, and that it’s his responsibility to take care of all my concerns. He immediately put me at ease. He fought for me every step of the way and got my case resolved in a very favorable way! I really can not recommend him enough. He is so knowledgeable about the law and truly cares for his clients. I promise you that you will not be disappointed! I highly recommend that Greg Simms be your first choice when looking for representation!

I highly recommend Greg as a lawyer. From the beginning to the end of my DUI case he was available and explained step by step the process. He would answer my questions. He was very knowledgeable and professional throughout the procedure. Being a nervous wreck and a first time offender he provided support and guidance. He knows the laws and willing to fight until the end. He knew what I wanted the outcome to entail and he was willing to keep fighting until we got the outcome deserved. I’m very pleased and blessed that my DUI was amended to wreckless driving. I owe it to Greg! I’m thankful for all his hard work!
Highly recommend this lawyer!

Mr Simms has been helpful, up front and knowledgeable beyond my expectations. I am currently struggling to clear my record and mr Simms has not only responded promptly but helped me understand the process in a way that I did not and would not have without his assistance. If you are thinking about trying to work through a process without an attorney I highly recommend you do not make that mistake and hire Mr Simms. The frustration and time I have had trying to expunge my record with the added effect doing it wrong would have been devastating. In legal matters all the i’s must be dotted and t’s crossed and Mr Simms has it all covered in a professional way that no other lawyer I have spoken with has had, and the record I am trying to expunge is rather lengthy so I’ve spoken to many. There are many ways to do this wrong and one clear way to do it complete and correct and that starts by hiring Mr. Simms

Parisa's work exemplifies that of a superb attorney. Her skills and demeanor demonstrate the highest level of professionalism. Parisa has been able to explain matters in a way that helped me navigate rough legal waters. She was also able to negotiate a deal that was as favorable to me as possible, given the circumstances. I highly recommend Parisa should you need legal representation in her specialty areas.

Everything with my case was handled very thoroughly and in a timely manner. I have no complaints.

To start,
I’d love to thank Parisa personally again for her patience, tenacity, diligence and brutal honesty throughout my legal battle.
I reached out to Lewis and Dickstein Because of their reputation and our glorious state of Michigan. Parisa Sadrnia was the one who answered the phone after hours and consulted me for long after the initial consultation was or had ended.
I went in and her whole concern and attitude was to defend her client while showing a tremendous amount of patients because of being falsely accused of domestic violence.
There is an old term that we all know “ Pay for what you get”
Parisa is worth every penny and then some, and deserves even more than What the firm fees are.
I will and I am recommending to anyone in need of an absolute beast in a criminal defense. PARISA IS THE ONE!
She is Young, But I will say with her, she spares no doubt To her client that she is 100% there for them. Parisa will not leave one stone unturned that she cannot figure out or gain to help and defending or in your defense, as well as knows the exact approach.
I had a ton of evidence that we could’ve used. The things that we focused on in court because of Parisa‘s knowledge and experience, We did not have to explore half of that.
She obtained things that the government “ Prosecution” Was not aware that we had nor did we have to submit as evidence that we used in trial, which was incredibly damaging to the so-called victim.
I have never heard nor experienced a lawyer like Parisa at my trial with her ability to impeach, discredit, And embarrass the so-called victim on the stand that a panel of six women and one man all came back unanimously not guilty.
Mind you, I have had a criminal history that was in the past levels that were not violent that she navigated around the governments ability to use at trial as well as even setting forth the motion To just use the term victim at the trial, so it could not be said.
I cannot express my gratitude enough to Parisa and her team that also stands behind her because when you hire her, you hire all of them as well.
Every single one of them are a 10 out of 10 and probably the best law in the state of Michigan above and when I say above Jeffrey Figer, which is Hard to beat.
They are 100% again worth every dollar
I am not an easy person to sometimes deal with! But Parisa 100% talk to me at any point of the day or night, calmed me, reassured me, and also was straightforward again which I appreciate more than anything about the potential seriousness of the allegations that were against me.
She never lied to me. She never promised me anything nor did she ever tell me with everything that I had that I was OK or good and she could get it done.
She kept it 100% with me, She is one of the most straightforward, honest people that I’ve honestly genuinely ever met.
I am a finance manager at a local car dealership, I can tend to feed and read through a lot of the BS.
She is very genuine. She is the best at her job and she is a superstar lawyer that if I ever need again has my 100% loyalty.
Thank you, Lewis and Dickstein
Most of all, THANK YOU TOO, PARISA SADRNIA FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID FOR THE TIME YOU TOOK AWAY WITH YOUR PERSONAL LIFE FOR ME AS WELL AS NEVER LOSING FAITH OR DOUBTING ME AND DEFENDING ME.
You are truly a blessing and someone that I will always consult or recommend to anyone.
She deserves a much higher rating then 10/10 but
10 stars PARISA

Emily Gladden is the most exceptional criminal justice attorney in the Triangle. From day one, she was attentive, relentless in her pursuit of justice, and dedicated to my case like no other. Her expertise and tenacity brought about an outcome beyond my expectations. If you need a lawyer who will fight for you every step of the way, Emily is the one to trust. She’s not just the best—she’s in a league of her own.

Working with Wilson Law firm has been amazing!
From the time they took my case until the court date we were in constant communication and they offered me guidance and information about what to do to put all the chances on my side!
I will recommend this law firm for your driving cases!
Thank you for Mr. Bartfield for constantly calling and checking on the status of my documentation.
Mr. Wilson is fighting for you with the Prosecutor to make sure your case can be handled fairly.

Mr. Charles J. Nucciarone is an excellent lawyer. He is very intelligent and I was very pleased with his representation at court. He did a great job!. If you follow his advices before the day court you will be content with the results. I would recommend it to anyone.

I have had the fortunate luck to have found Charles Nucciarone of Manassas Law group to help me with an unfair (in my opinion) traffic citation. I was impressed with his organization, promptness, and his phone etiquette. He sent me links that I to access along with clear instructions on what to send and what to do. I had called 2 other firms and there was considerably lower professionalism and surprisingly their costs were considerably more. I do have my own experience with the levels of legal professionalism having occasionally served as an expert witness in malpractice suites. I highly recommend this firm.

Mr. Nucciarone did a fantastic job representing me in my recent court appearance. He provided me with all the options to the case and provided what he believed to be the best option for my potential outcome.
In the end he was able to obtain the best case scenario in reference to my case.
Sincerely
Keith

First, I need to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to Casey and his team for all their hard work on my case. I genuinely believe he’s passionate about all his clients going above and beyond. My case was no different. He was incredible in helping me defend against unbelievable false accusations. The first time I came to his office I was still in shock as to the series of events that led up to the claims and with legitimate fears for my freedom. He took the time to listen to me and with compassion gave me a level of reassurance I needed. I believe with the utmost sincerity that his dedication, hard work, and thoroughness to cover all the bases and explore every possible resource has played an integral part in the outcome of this case. My innocence needed to be brought to light, and you did just that. Masterfully and with professionalism, integrity, intensity, and grace. Thank you for all you've done for my family and I.
A++ could not recommend a better criminal defense lawyer in Sheboygan and surrounding areas.

From the very first meeting, Casey was very diligent in learning about my case and finding a solution. Over a 9 month period, he was great about communicating next steps and helping me through the process. Ultimately, my case was entirely dismissed, which is not common for an OWI case. I would highly recommend Casey!

My son was taken from his mother by DCFS I didn’t know this happened until 4 and half month after he was placed in a strangers house ! And this was the second DCFS case the first one I was the victim that didn’t press charges or show up to the case because my logic was I was the victim in that case so how do I need to show up ? Well I was very wrong and my rights to my son were limited to 1 supervised visit per year! So for 4 years I was basically paying her to see my kid and I was paying large sums of money to do so. When I showed up to court, the court provided me with so free but terrible lawyer I left court and was reaching out to her and her office with no response calling 4-5 times a day for over a week and that wasn’t gonna work! So I literally meet or had phone conversations with every attorney that deals with these type of cases and I only had a good feeling about Matt so I retained him he promised to get me full custody of my son and we came up with a solid game plan and instructed me every step of the way he was also was my therapist and a very patient friend because I too was in the system when I was a child so I was very hard to witness my child going through the same traumatic situation , Long story short Sole physical custody and the mom only gets a 4 hour visit per month this was my dream and it’s a reality now !!!

Mr Koohanim went above and beyond for my case. My appointed attorney couldn't bother to contact me so I searched for another attorney to represent me. Mr Koohanim managed to encourage him to do the right thing and contact me. Very grateful to him!! If you so-called attorney gives me any more grief, Mr Koohanim agreed to represent me. He is a true professional!

Very thankful for the time and attention on my case! My case is very complex and multifaceted. Attorney Matt has remained unfazed and calm throughout this whole process even when put in situations he was not prepared for due to DPSS changing things up on the spot at the last minute which was out of his control. Still, he remained professional kind and overall got the job done! My case went to trial, Matt took note of everything I said and shared with him during the months awaiting trial and unloaded it all during trial eloquently. His desire to serve everyone he can is truly inspiring and shows his passion. He is talented and skilled. Communication was flexible and after hours at time which I appreciated.
I appreciate his strategy and look forward to working with him in upcoming hearings aswell. As his website says, he pretty much does it ALL! My son is home and well and my family and I are all so thankful! Thank you Matt! Appreciate your time, effort and support. See ya soon and thank you thank you thank you! If you’re looking for a trustworthy, honest rep that knows his stuff #gowithKoohanim

Having just moved to Colorado from the Midwest, my family and I were emotionally and physically distraught when we were met with a legal situation in which we needed to seek out counsel. Marshall was referred to our family and after even just the first phone conversation with him regarding our case, we were able to actually let out an exhale. As my husband put it, “Marshall was the first person we spoke to who actually heard and validated our concerns and made us feel like we weren’t crazy.” I’m someone who always has countless questions and Marshall took his time in addressing each and every one during our conversations and was GENUINELY there for our family - a true anchor for us. He was knowledgeable on the legal matters regarding our case, open and communicative, treated us with respect and used our names in every conversation, and ultimately led us through our nightmare of a situation. Although we hope to never encounter another incident where we would need to work with an attorney, we know who we will be calling if we do. We will be forever indebted to Marshall for his professional guidance and personal support. Thank you for everything, Marshall.

Marshall is the best lawyer I've ever meet. He has a deep understanding of not only the legal sphere, but also the complex negotiations required to be successful. He cares deeply about you as a client and gives confidence that an outcome will fought for to the very end. I wouldn't look further; Marshall is the attorney you need regardless of your situation. My review won't do him justice, he is the best attorney I've ever met.

Recently, our family was thrown into a situation that required us to seek professional legal support. Marshall Breit came highly recommended as the only lawyer with whom we should consult. Interestingly that referral came from a member of our local district attorney’s office.
Immediately, we were impressed with Marshall’s attentiveness and responsiveness. Marshall took all the time we needed to fully understand our options and possible outcomes. He was highly proactive, but also responded immediately anytime we reached out for information.
Marshall was very candid regarding the possible ramifications of the pending charges and accurate with his assessment regarding the amount of time that would be required to achieve closure. He proved to be knowledgeable, personable, and sympathetic. Marshall stayed on the offensive with our case, but at the same time he interacted with our family in a genuine, but relaxed manner that helped keep us positive during a dark time.
We feel very lucky to have had the support of Marshall Breit, and would encourage anyone with challenging legal concerns to reach out to him.

It’s not enough stars on here to rate these 2 and their law firm. I was at a really bad place in my life when a friend of mine referred me to Maribeth Wetzel. I gave Beth a call and explained my situation to her and i immediately felt at ease after talking with her about my case and the difficulties that I faced. Beth fought for me in my case. I mean really fought for me and words cannot express how much I appreciate her and Summer for working with me on my case. The beauty of it all about hiring Maribeth or Summer Goldman, you get both exceptionally great attorneys working on your case. They are fighters and when you get in a bad spot within the criminal justice center, that’s all you want and should have during that difficult time. I got my life back. I’m forever grateful for the two!!!!!! Sincerely, Terrance Blanchard.

Tracy was a God given angel to me and my family. I was charged with false allegations and sent a TPO. After consulting with Tracy, she handled the case and told me to not speak at the hearing. I am normally a very strong willed person, but she went in and got the JOB DONE. I was awarded fees in the hearing. She proved that this plaintiff was a liar and acted upon malicious and retaliatory purposes. Not only did Tracy admonish the plaintiff, the judge did as well given Tracy's arguments' and defense strategy.

My husband at the time literally stole my inheritance. When I confronted him, he attacked me, I fought back and I got charged with battery because he called the cops first. Then he did a a TPO and barred me from seeing my children.
With all these charges, Tracy was referred to me by a good friend. Once she was on the case, everything turned in my favor. She was able to give me custody of my kids while I had a TPO on me which never happens. She also got my battery case dismissed. My husband told me he wished she was his attorney and said that will be our family attorney.
All I can say was she was a rock when I was at my lowest point and she got me through it. Her knowledge of the criminal justice system and TPOs are amazing. If you hire her, you will not be disappointed.

I was in my cell never been to jail before. I was scared in an unknown space. Disconnected from my world and my freedom I didn’t know what my future was going to be. On rock bottom. I was called for an attorney visit a very energetic bubbly blonde woman with a MCM bag begins to speak to me I automatically felt safe she told me her creditials and I automatically had a little hope. Tracy was humble, fun and energetic. You wouldn’t know how big of a deal she is because she is so humble I can’t come up with any other words to describe her. She got my TPO dismisses between me and my wife she was diplomatic with my in-laws she even came to my divorce hearing to make sure everything was safe. She works tirelessly and ethically. She is a joy for the justice system here in Georgia and you won’t find a better attorney here in Georgia

I strongly encourage anyone with legal needs to use Wolf Law LLC. Jeff was professional, efficient and got even better results than I originally anticipated. He kept me informed throughout the process and was always available for any questions I had. I hope to avoid legal issues in the future, but if anything were to come up, there is no where else I’d turn to.

Most people live their lives never dreaming they would ever need a criminal defense attorney. But, sometimes life takes a hard left turn with no warning and you can find yourself in a very dark and scary place. When that happened to us we didn't know where to turn. But our daughter did, an old classmate, Jeffrey Wolf, was the one to call. So we did. We called an attorney, but a hero showed up. Mr Wolf is the picture of competence with compassion. He alleviated many of our fears and promptly answered every question with confidence. During this most difficult time he made it possible for us to live our lives and actually sleep a little at night knowing that we were in the best possible hands. Our family will be forever grateful to Mr Wolf as he truly is a Light in the Darkness.

From my very first conversation, I felt that I was in good hands being represented by Jeffrey Wolf. He was extremely honest about my situation and gave me clarity about possible and likely outcomes, never sugarcoating anything. Mr. Wolf has excellent communication skills. He skillfully navigated me through the most difficult and stressful event of my entire life while always exhibiting concern for my personal wellbeing throughout the process. He was great during negotiations with the DA, great in the court room, always very calm and confident, but firm. As a result, Mr. Wolf negotiated a much lower sentence with the DA for me. I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney.

I had a very difficult legitimation/custody case, and Scot Sikes and his amazing team were there for me every step of the way. From the initial consult all the way to the final hearing, they were there to guide me and give me strength when I needed it most. I always felt like my case was a priority to them and it was handled with the utmost care and compassion. Scot and his team were quick to act and filed emergency orders when necessary, answered every question and concern I had, and even went as far as to conduct their own research to assist with the case. I’m grateful for all of their hard work and dedication, and I highly recommend their services. You will not find a more genuine and honorable legal representative.

My Mother hired Mr. Carron on my behalf and he turned out to be the best lawyer that I ran across in many years, he will give his input on things that may be better handled in a different perspective then yours and consult with you before making any changes that you felt strong about. I've encountered lawyers that have went their way and filed things on my behalf without communication, he is the exact opposite, I would recommend him to anyone..very professional!

After a very long struggle with defense attorneys who were uncaring, non-responsive, just "throw you to the wolves" kind of people and steal your money, we needed an appeals attorney. We contacted many many appeals attorneys and it became a coin toss between Mr. Carron and only one other attorney. We did not hire him, but we're hoping we made the right decision. Mr. Carron was very knowledgeable , responsive, caring and listened to any concerns or questions we had. We would HIGHLY recommend him if you are in the unfortunate position to need an appeals attorney.

Coming to this site I had little hope, I had been on several different sites, Ask an attorney? Get legal advice? I was givin misinformation each time. So basically I was gonna give it one last try lucky for me Dana answered my question unlike all the other attorneys that I had asked he actually knew what I was talking about. In fact Dana had handled some cases like mine. So he began looking into this for me. We have been corresponding for several days as he was doing research for me. But unfortunately he ha d explained that I had misses the deadline to file a claim by 3 days. My heart sank if I hadn't gotten so many bad answers in the past by professionals who really had no clue & didn't care enough to do some research i would have been able to file a claim. So unfortunately we couldn't continue with my suit at this time. But Dana reassure me he will look into extensions for this deadline & if he can do it he will get a claim filed in my behalf. So this is why I say he is 1 in a million a rare breed because who does that for people? Spend days trying to help them even at home going far beyond what he needed to. So I do know that with Dana Carron not only do u get a smart guy who works hard you also get a guy who gives a damn & actually cares for his fellow man. So thats a win win. .....

Before introducing himself, my first impression when this attorney showed up in the darkest, saddest, must unjust moment in my life as an adult woman, was: Who is this? He had no smile on his face. He reminded me of "Joe Friday", honestly! Then he introduced himself, and just asked me how did I get myself in the situation I was in. No promises, no song and dance - yet I saw a profound sense of compassion and understanding in his eyes. He hasn't changed much. He is all facts, all detail, all seriousness. Mr. Dresow has an innate sense of what is fair - and what is not - ALL within the law. He can help you regardless of your situation, but within reality and the law. To me, results within the law are very important, and Mr. Dresow HAS delivered! But equally importantly (and extremely important and impressive) to me is his making himself available to his client! Charles Dresow is NOT your typical self-important, pompous defense attorney; he is the kind of attorney who is there FOR YOU! All given the fact that he comes from a very impressive line of excellent attorneys. Charles Dresow was born, educated, and bred, to continue to keep alive State/Federal laws, our Constitution and Bill of Rights, to defend all of us Americans from unjust, abusive, or even discriminatory accusations. You know, the way our forefathers intended. Thank you now, and forever, Mr. Dresow. Godspeed to you and yours!

Matt brings to the table deep relationship, angles and perspective that are rare and unique as a seasoned - experienced attorney. He has a unique background of being a successful prosecutor and AMAZING defense attorney. Even rarer, he provides a element of human care for his clients that shows non-judgment and help that presented me a way through an extremely complex and difficult situation. He brought solutions in my case and visited me in Jail multiple times at the height of a pandemic. Where most were uncertain and running the other way..Matt was unwavering and always there. Scary times for the world and my situation.. He goes above and beyond thinking of your well being foremost. Not only did he breath life into me by this, but He played a huge role in lifting me out a very bad place of unprecedented time when it seemed I didn't have a Hail Mary. He truly was an answer to a prayer and he worked exhaustively and relentlessly when so much seemed impossible, restricted and in shambles which was my life and the world.. He provided in my case real productive solutions/guidance that helped assure all parties involved of a good outcome.
With his element of knowledge and extensive background of expert work in this field he made more than I could ask happen. Doors I thought forever closed and things impossible he achieved
Mercy was afforded in my case that today brings me a brighter future that was almost completely lost without him. For his work
I'm forever grateful and lucky to have got him to my defense. Hire him if you can. He is the real deal
When all was failing and turmoil thanks for all you did/do and never gave up
With love and deep respect
Forever and always,
Cameron

I was falsely accused of a crime I didn’t commit all because the other party wanted my house. I was arrested on false charges and lost my career. I met with many attorneys but when I met with Shane, he already had the affidavit, knew who my case was assigned to, and was negotiating with the prosecution to not file. I haven’t even hired this man yet, and he was already working to get this resolved. He listened to my story and believed in my case. At one point a deal was presented and I didn’t know what to do. Shane said the easiest thing for him would be for me to accept, but that’s not what I hired him for, I hired him to do what was best for me and that’s exactly what he was going to do, so I didn’t accept. After 10 months of my case getting pushed back, no charges were filed and my case was dismissed.
Shane works hard for his clients to get the best outcome possible. No matter how early or late I emailed him, Shane picked up and responded. Shane will be the only attorney I will use or recommend to anyone. If you’re reading this review and are in a bad situation with the law, no doubt Shane is your best option and will take care of you.

Mr. Wilkinson was very prompt in getting me a permission letter from the judge to go outside of the country, since I was still on probation. He is very professional, and I would definitely recommend him for his services.

Unfortunately i found myself on the wrong side of the law in benton county after taking necessary action to defend myself and a third party. I was arrested and wrongly charged with a malicious amount of felony charges that i was innocent of. Long story short, shane took the time to listen to my side of the story. Although he was skeptical of the case, he accepted my case, and believed my side the story. Had i been charged with all 12 felonious accusations, i have no doubt i would be sitting in prison right now. I took a huge loss. Lost my home, business, assets, and nearly my whole mind funding my fight of being wrongly accused in benton county. I never spoke a word to the judge. Less than 10 court dates later, charges are dismissed, and my case is closed. Theres no question who to call for a high level case. He has my vote every time. He is worth every penny, becuase he earns every one of them.

I never expected to need a criminal defense attorney, but when I did, a quick Google search lead me to David Freidberg. After a consultation I decided to hire him and it turned out to be an excellent decision. Throughout the two-year case, David was professional, easy to communicate with, reliable, and honest with expectations. I never had any problem getting in touch with him and he always seemed well prepared and organized. When I received a very favorable outcome (which had seemed like a long shot), I felt very validated having hired him. I would highly recommend.

It is hard to truly capture my full appreciation and recommendation for Attorney Benjamin Wurtzel. Most of us don't think we will need a criminal defense attorney in our lifetimes. I found myself in a situation where life changed in an instant and as a new mother in the midst of a major storm, I was in desperate need of competent and reliable counsel.
The complexity of my case was astounding and I knew immediately after the initial consultation with Ben that he would be unlike other attorneys. The research he had done in a short time frame showed me that he was intelligent and diligent, with careful attention to details. (I spoke with several other attorneys who either rushed me off the phone or seemed genuinely perplexed by my situation - bringing zero confidence in their ability to help).
Throughout the subsequent months, Ben kept me informed every step of the way, often wearing a very patient "teacher" hat, explaining the court and legal systems, since this world was quite foreign to me. I never for a second questioned his allegiance and surprisingly - his empathy (a rarity among lawyers I'm sure). I felt genuine concern and care in every correspondence which, to put it bluntly, brought much needed peace during very sleepless nights.
This peace extended out to my anxious friends and family who also came to trust Ben and his instincts, even through they didn't personally know him. This to me, was priceless.
I now see that an outstanding attorney cares about their clients, is knowledgeable of the law with a track record of success, is highly intuitive and able to both read people and circumstances quickly and is a master negotiator... Ben is all of these things and more.
My case resulted in mostly dropped charges and a no-contest plea, for which I am forever grateful to soon put this season behind me. It's a tough job he has and while I hope I never need his services again (smile) I cannot recommend him enough to others who do.

My husband was in need of filing a motion to have his probation modified and we could not have been blessed with a better team. Ben was extremely thorough, patient, and knowledgeable. Something that my husband and I appreciated most was his willingness to provide us with realistic expectations throughout the entire process. We had our hearing today and by the grace of God and Bens hard work and expertise, the motion for modification was granted. We are in absolute awe of the outcome as it was a huge request that is not often granted. My husband and I are more than proud to call Ben and Lori our family lawyers and would recommend them without a doubt. Thank you Ben and Lori!!

Before every step he lays out all of what is going to happen and is sure to answer any questions you need. Very timely to respond to inquiries or reach out if new information arises. Looked over the minor details of my case to bring up and use to my advantage. Did calls before court appearances to explain what advantages and disadvantages l there were in the case and after to explain what everything meant and any court jargon I was confused with. Acquired a surprising and positive verdict for me while showing honor and determination.

I reached out to Kelly regarding my wrongful conviction for domestic violence which was preventing me from owning/possessing a fire. If it wasn’t for my love of hunting specifically with my dad I probably would’ve gone on with my life but instead I explained my situation to Kelly, she sounded positive about restoring my rights. Took a few months but the wait paid off. I now have my conceal carry and the joy of being able to purchase weapons. More importantly I get to hunt with my dad without looking over my shoulder. Would recommend Kelly if you are in a similar situation situation hands down!!!

My experience with Kelly, who assisted me in restoring my right to possess firearms, was truly amazing. From the beginning, Kelly's professionalism & commitment to my case were evident. What stood out the most was her in-depth knowledge of firearm-related laws and regulations, which played a pivotal role in achieving a favorable outcome.
Throughout the process, Kelly demonstrated a keen understanding of the intricacies involved, ensuring that every legal avenue was explored to its fullest extent. Her attention to detail and thorough preparation set her apart, instilling confidence in me during what could have been a daunting ordeal.
However what set Kelly apart, was her willingness to go above and beyond expectations. She showed a genuine concern for my situation. She invested the time & effort needed to address any concerns or questions I had. This level of personal commitment made a significant impact on my overall experience.
In addition to her legal acumen, Kelly maintained clear and transparent communication, keeping me informed at every step of the process. This proactive approach not only fostered trust but also allowed me to actively participate and understand the progress of my case.
Ultimately, the successful restoration of my right to possess firearms can be attributed to Kelly's unwavering dedication & exemplary legal skills. I am immensely grateful for her outstanding service and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of assistance with a proven track record of achieving exceptional results.

I hired Robb after having 2 prior attorneys for a highly contested custody matter. Robb took my case on a fairly short notice and immediately got to work. My case had several layers that had to be peeled back and was complex to say the least. Robb was able to get up to speed very quickly on the facts of the case as well as my concerns surrounding the matter. Robb was always prepared for any motions that had to be heard as well as during the trial which was a seven day trial. He truly wants the best outcome for his client and he shows that through his attention to detail and open communication. Robb has a good presence in he court room and commands respect during cross examination. Robb has a good grasp on processes, and uses great emotional intelligence. I will hire Robb again for any legal matter that fall under his areas of representation.

Geoffrey and Justin and all of the folks at Coffer and Connelly took great care of me and my case. I was wrongfully accused of criminal trespassing, criminal mischief, and there was a threat of charging me with assaulting a police officer. The day that these alleged crimes occurred was the worst day of my life.
I was tased (twice), beaten, and zip tied by APD in my own front yard.
When I was alerted to the potential of a warrant being issued for my arrest, I consulted and then hired Geoffrey and the Coffer Connelly team.
Under Geoffrey and Justins guidance, we allowed my warrant to go through so that Geoffrey and Justin could work with the prosecution to prove my innocence. ( I was nervous about this strategy, but I had faith in their experience) The lead detective on the case was adamant that I was the one who committed the criminal trespass and criminal mischief.
Ultimately- Geoffrey and Justin handled everything. I didn’t have a single conversation with any of the APD staff, even when they continued to call me and attempted to incriminate me over the phone.
Geoffrey and Justin managed to prove that I was in fact, not- the criminal who committed those crimes, by way of my facial hair. (The other guy that the prosecuting team had a photo of, didn’t have the sweet facial hair that I have)
The charges were dropped and the firm is currently working to have the charges completely expunged from my record.
When sh*t happens and you need an understanding lawyer that treats the law “like art and less of a science”- hire this firm. Justin (the ex-APD chief (I think)) did an amazing job consolidating the facts to ease the process of having the charges dropped. Geoffrey and Justin were very understanding of my terrible experience and supported me along the way. We even had a few laughs over zoom! Justin even allowed me to personally call him a few times for guidance when APD wouldn’t leave me alone.
Having Justin on the team is a real ace in hand. His experience and connections with APD made him incredibly valuable throughout the process.
While I don’t intend to get wrapped up in any other criminal nonsense, if I did- I wouldn’t think twice about calling Geoffrey and Justin and the team at Coffer and Connelly.
I highly recommend this firm. 10/10. Do recommend. So what are you waiting for? Better get that retainer in before they have too many clients to take you on!

I was arrested for manufacturing a dangerous drug MDMA greater than 400 grams. It was 4 probes one for the MDMA and one for the money laundering all over the world 130 people were arrested in
16 us cities and Canada , and charged with the RICO Act. They gave me 490 months. I paid Chuck for my appeal. The only thing holding my part of the RICO was the manufacturing of the ecstasy as I was the only Chemist producing (allegedly) one million five hundred thousand pills daily. Mr. Johnson did a investigation from all angles and found the search warrant they used to find the only piece of evidence was a plain sight warrant and on video you could clearly see them remove part of a wall to get to the 5 Rubbermaid storage containers that were all full of MDMA powder unpressed. This proved Illegal search and siezure and I walked away a free man.

Charles Johnson was referred buy an extremely good mutual friend and lawyer. I was in a dire situation. In which I got myself involved in and because of being a naïve person that I am wants to help everybody. I fell into a very very detrimental situation that seemed impossible to get out of. With that being said, and a short version of a long story. I was doing a favor to help two people out not getting any compensation in return. I had gotten myself in the most detrimental situation I could have ever imagined I would’ve ever faced in my lifetime. I did not realize at the time the crime that I had committed was a serious felony and I was facing 10 to life. My Father Came into town to post my bond and did his research in finding me the best criminal attorney that could represent my case and that was, Mr. Charles Johnson. I cannot thank him enough for all of the hard work he did regarding my case. Mr. Johnson went above and beyond to work on my case and got me eight years deferred adjudication, 40 hours of Community service. With only a $2000 fine for this felony crime that seemed impossible to conquer. Mr. Johnson handled the court room like he owned it. He put up a fight from hell and he was determined to win and so he did. I could never thank him enough for taking my case and fighting for me till the very end. It was a huge triumph. I highly recommend Mr. Charles Johnson if you are in a dire situation and in need of a criminal lawyer to represent you. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MR. CHARLES JOHNSON. Mr. Johnson will not lose a fight he will go above and beyond for you. Thank you..........

I was charged with Reckless Driving. A big deal in NC as it's a criminal offense. After reading lawyer reviews I contacted three attorneys. Adam's team responded the best and I hired them.
They had me take an online defensive driving course and right when I was beginning to wonder what the next step was, they contacted me by phone and email and told me my charges were dismissed. The attorney and office staff were courteous and straightforward, communicating well. I highly recommend this firm.

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
-
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. -
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. -

What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
Understand the challenges you may face and how the lawyer plans to address them. -
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.
