Loren M. Dickstein is the best Attorney that I have ever talked to he is so knowledgeable and does not have to make you wait and look up the answer to any question, he is so trustworthy and a wonderful,kind man to talk to.
Loren, he will not charge you up front and then later tell you oh, I can not help you unless you pay me more money and then get mad and tell you that he is going to call the police on you if you do not leave his office.
Loren is a wonderful and kind man and the best Attorney that I have ever met, he does know all of the facts about anything and everything that you might ask him. So, if you need the best call Loren and forget about all the rest.
You will find out with Loren, you will not get any more lies, only the truth and the facts about anything and everything that you may ask him. Loren is the most knowledgeable, trustworthy and the most excellent Attorney that you will ever meet.

My son's case involved possession of marijuana.. Mr. Dickstein was extremely helpful, detailed and accurate when advising and guiding him on what to do immediately prior to his sentencing. This proactive approach made a difference in his sentence as well as my son's understanding of the seriousness nature of the offense.

I was referred to Mr. Dickestein by a good friend that "HIGHLY" reccommended his professional services. I found him to be caring & empathetic to my situation. It's comforting to know that my calls & questions were answered in a timely fashion while he provided me with fair & equitable information. I would use his services in the future should another situation arise. When my court date was scheduled he had me prepared for all posibble outcomes - He was able to strategically negotiate a plea that was in my best interest with extraordinary results.

I was charged with unemployment compensation fraud and hired Mr. Dickstein to represent me. I was terrified thinking I was going to lose my current job, have to pay 5x restitution and maybe even jail time. Mr. Dickstein did a fabulous job. My case was dismissed and I had to pay back ONLY the money that I should not have gotten. Major kudos to Mr. Dickstein. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I hired Loren to represent me in a DWI charge. He was recommended to me by a friend who is also a Lawyer. After being charged, I contacted my friend to ask him for a recommendation on a Lawyer to defend me. Without hesitation he said "Loren Dickstein - he's the best in town." And he was absolutely correct!! Throughout my case I found Loren to be professional, honest and direct. He used his knowledge and many years of experience to work in my best interests at all times. Through his persistence, dedication and commitment to obtaining the best result, he showed that he can deliver like few others can. My charge was reduced to careless driving - a non alcohol related charge. I am truly grateful to Loren for his services and highly recommend him.

I was getting divorced and my wife falsely alleged domestic violence to try and get custody of my children. My divorce attorney was winning every legal battle in court and my wife was so desperate to get an advantage, she alleged that I pushed her and tried to hit her. The divorce lawyer referred me to Loren Dickstein. I interviewed two additional lawyers who were allegedly top attorneys in the area and were in the media handling big cases. Loren had handled international media cases as well and I read countless articles on each lawyer. Ultimately I decided to hire Loren and he got the domestic violence charge dismissed. When I sat in his office, he said to me, "don't worry, I'm not going to let you down." He is a man of his word. I went on to win custody of my children and my life has completely turned around. I'm truly finding happiness for the first time in years and it is, in large part, thanks to Loren and my divorce attorney, Mike. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I hired Loren Dickstein to represent me recently on a felony retail fraud case in Oakland county. I needed to find a lawyer ASAP that is trustworthy and to help me get out of this mess. Loren set that first impression in guiding me through this case, he set the standard of my case straight and professionally delivered the result of dismissal. I highly refer Loren as superior criminal defense lawyer to anyone.

Loren was the perfect lawyer for my case. I was facing 5 to 40 years on a drug conspiracy case. Right away, Loren went to work. What was so confusing about the situation is that I was living in Texas, and the case was in the Sourthen District of Michigan (Federal). Attorney Loren informed me that under the "Safe Haven Program" my sentence could could be taken under the manditory minium of 5 years, and that the prosecutor wanted a sentence of 37 months. Loren reviewed the facts and put together my case with actually very little effort from me. I had phone issues and I was really depressed at the time due to my situation. Never the less, Loren continued to do his job, trying to communicate the information from the court to me as best he could. He waved the trial and I took the plea agreement of 37 months that the prosecutor recommended. Loren informed me that the judge could go over or under the sentence that the DA wanted to give me. In court he went to battle for me, and the judge sentenced me to 1 day ( with time sevred ) and 3 years of probation! Mr. Dickstein was a blessing fron God for me, considering he was my Court appointed attorney! If you decide to take Loren Dickstein as your attorney you have made a great decision!

Lauren Dickstein, basically saved my life. I had a probation violation for using drugs, and Lauren was very knowladgeable about the disease of addiction, and mental illness. I have never seen a lawyer more prepared and on point during a hearing. If it wasnt for Mr.Dickstein I would be in prisin for3-15 years. Instead my probation was reinstated.

Attny Dickstein researched the criminal charges made against me and discovered the real truth. Attny Dickstein used the information that he discovered and took it to court appointment. He bargained to get this case dismissed. I agreed not to sue the legal department if they dismissed this case. Attny Dickstein did an excellent job for me.

Loren represented me on a retail fraud case. I felt at ease that I had made the right decision, after I met him. He was direct and insightful and articulated a clear strategy for my case. I wanted the nightmare to end as soon as possible.
He was always prepared at court hearings and was able to articulate my position in front of the judge. My charges were reduced and I got into the first offenders program within two months, even though the chances were slim. I highly recommend Loren as a defense lawyer - if you want the best representation and the best possible outcome in the court of law.

I've worked with other lawyers before and none were like Loren and his partner, Randy. Loren always returns calls...I repeat...he always returns calls. I was shocked because I'm used to having to call 2 or 3 times before an attorney calls me back. Chit chatting was not his thing (he liked to get to the point quickly) but he communicated with me well and kept me updated whenever anything important happened in my case). He was straight with me from the beginning and he refused to make promises he knew he could not keep. Honesty...refreshing! Turned out that the outcome of my case was better than I ever expected. The fees of this firm are not cheep but you get what you pay for and I'm very, very satisfied.

I highly recommend hiring Loren Dickstein. He did a great job fighting for my innocence. I had two Felony charges that I was accused of in a case of mistaken identity. I had hired other lawyers to help me with this matter and none of them could get anywhere. He worked hard, did a great job and I was granted my dismissals.

I will forever and always be eternally greatful to Loren. He is literally the Best attorney I have ever worked with, and I have worked with far too many!!! His style is very unemotional, with a cut to the chase attitude, and gets right to the meat of the matter. I adore this qualiity in an attorney as it shows me several things. First, that only logic, and logic alone (zero emotion) is ever shown or used. Second, this brashness, if you will, as it is a compliment, let's you know that he means business, and he's not screwing around ( for lack of a more eloquent phrase)with anything, most importantly, You! (and also the judges, prosecutors etc.) This is a testament to a very caring individual who is a pit bull as an attorney. He will get the job done, furthermore, and with almost 100% certainty, I can say that it will be the outcome you, the client, wanted. The very best attorney in the area in criminal law. Thanks Loren- You are outstanding! keep on with the justice for the citizens of the US and the constitution/constitutional rights of every legal US citizen!

I've been in my fair share of legal issues throughout my younger years and have used just about everyone of them [lawyers] from the area and they all seemed to be the same "pay me" and then they don't care about the out come .... So I hired Loren to help me get my license back after a 2nd dui in michigan; when I moved to south Florida I still needed a license so I figured I'll try a "Lawyer" and not another "empty suit" other lawyers told me I would have to fly to michigan to win in front of a review board and Loren said that we can just mail the paper work to the state and I wont have to take time away from my life in florida .... I never felt i wasted a dime with loren he always updated me and had enough confidence for me and him sure enough he called me personally and told me "you won" just like that when others said it was going to be this and that blah blah .... I only wish Loren represented me in my past cases because i know i would have had better representation.... Overall I've dealt with many lawyers and Loren was the first to make an impression that he cares for his clients and does everything in his power to help them move on in their lives

Believe the reviews! Loren is exceptionally professional, very bright, a tough negotiator, patient and responsive. He negotiated a misdemeanor charge brought by a vindictive detective down to a trivial civil offense. In the process, he saved me $5000 I would have wasted for an expert witness. I interact with attorneys all of the time in my professional life, but I will keep Loren's number with me at all times... just in case I run into a similar situation. Thanks Loren!

I hired Loren on the recommendation of a deputy at the jail. He said he was known to be a real good lawyer. I met with 3 criminal lawyers but hired Loren after meeting him. He was the most knowledgable and confident. I did really good on the outcome of my case and Loren never did give up fighting for me. I have a record but never felt that Loren judged me. He was very good to talk to and he is very smart. I would definitely use him again but I don't plan to need a criminal lawyer again now that I got another chane.

Going into my case, I knew that it wasn't guaranteed that I would end up with the result I was looking for. That said, I still believe that the service I received was lacking and the money spent excessive.
My case was an attempt to set aside a conviction for a domestic violence charge that occurred 15 years ago. For this service, I paid $3,000 up front. I recently spoke to another attorney that couldn't believe that I would be charged so much for something that required so little work.
The next problem was with communication. I only received updates when I solicited them. Weeks and sometimes months went by without hearing any updates. Of course it can be said that there was nothing to update me on but in my opinion, the communication was lacking.
After many months, I received an email from Mr Dickstein saying that he had finally spoken to the prosecutor and she would not agree to setting aside the conviction.
In my opinion, I spent $3,000 and waited many months for Mr Dickstein to have a telephone conversation. There was also a motion drafted and a criminal records request (I paid cost of the records request), but overall, I believe (as did at least one other attorney) that the cost was excessive.
Lawyer’s Comment:
Mr. Zimmer's case was very complicated and he knew at the time he hired LEWIS & DICKSTEIN, P.L.L.C. that we were fighting an uphill battle. Although he knew there was little chance of success, he wanted to do everything possible to get the domestic violence conviction off his record. Legally, he was not entitled to any relief. Mr. Zimmer's claim regarding how little time was necessary to fight for him is highly inaccurate. An extensive motion was drafted, there were countless communications (written and telephonic) between myself and the prosecution, and a multitude of evidence was compiled on behalf of Mr. Zimmer. The case took months to fight and he was updated each and every time a development occurred in his case. I understand that he is frustrated with having a conviction on his record but his statements regarding my services are inaccurate and more of an expression of his frustration with the poor decisions he's made in his life rather than an expression of truth.

Loren is amazing. I was being investigated for fraud and he represented me on a pre-charge basis. In other words he was hired to prevent me from being charged or, if I was going to be charged, to try and make sure it was a misdemeanor. Loren promisedhe would do his best and he did exactly what he said. I remember him telling me, "the best defense is a good offense." He was right. I am not being charged and I'm settling the dispute civilly. Loren and his partner Randy said they couldn't guaratee any particular result and i appreciated that honesty. Other lawyers promised I wouln't be charged if I hired them but I knew that it was just a sales job. As a result of his hard work, I'm not going to jail and I'm saving a lot of money in legal fees.

I hired Loren to answer some legal questions about criminal law, advise me on exercising my Ffth Amendment rights in a divorce case and look into some issues for me. He did a great job at a fair price. He is very smart but not arrogant. Always returned my calls and was very patient. He helped where he could and was honest about what he couldn't do. Could have gotten away with charging me more money but didn't. I really respect him.

I was charged in Michigan with DUI in Oaland County courts. I'm from Las Vegas. I found Loren on the Internet and saw he had great reviews. I didn't know lawyers in Michigan. I interviewed 3 lawyers and hired him in stead of the others. It was a very good choice! He was able to scan the discovery and police reports and get them to me via email. He always returned my calls and was patient. His fee was not cheep but it was fair. He did an outstanding job and I'm very happy to recommend him as a criMinal attorney. I pay a lot of money to my corporate lawyer in Nevada and wish he would return my calls and talk with me like Loren did.

Ive been in trouble before and have made my share of mistakes. The lawyers that have represented me in the past have been good and bad. Loren is by far the best lawyer that I've dealt with. He was fearless in court. All the other lawyers and the judge know and like him. I laughed each time we left court because people would ask for his card. I can't say how he is for his other clients but he kicked ass for me.

My case was handled remarkably well by Loren M. Dickstein, my case even made media attention. I was looking at a possible sentence of 93 days in jail and a $500 fine. Mr. Dickstein was able to have my case for fraud dismissed and I was only charged with disorderly conduct and given probation.

Loren Dickstein represented me recently on a cases in Oakland County and Macomb County. I had charges in one and a violation of probation in the other. I met with several lawyers but felt Loren was the one who was sincere when he said he would fight for me. I'm so glad that I made the right choice. He got my probation violation dismissed due to a technicality and get a great resolution in the Macomb County case. I have a bad record that does not reflect what kind of person I am and Loren helped the court and prosecutor understand that my prior problems do not define who I am as a person. When no one else had the patience to understand my situation, Loren had my back.

Mr. Dickstein is my lawyer. I was referred to him by my uncle. I was on probation in Macomb County and my probation was violated. The judge said I was going to jail so I had to hire an attorney.

Loren Dickstein represented me on an OWI charge in Oakland County. I am from Las Vegas and this was my second offense. Traveling back and forth from Nevada was very burdensome and Loren did everything within his power to expedite the case while not giving up any part of the fight on my behalf. He got a great result and I could not be happier. His knowledge of OWI laws in Michigan and his expertise were very impressive.

I was charged with OWI and possession of marijuana. I had a doctor's recommendation for the marijuana due to chronic pain. I did not have a medical marijuana card. I interviewed several lawyers and hired Loren. He seemed the most trustworthy. He got the marijuana dismissed even though I didn't have a card and got the OWI reduced to an offense I'm very satisfied with. My sentence was the most lenient given by the judge in all the times I sat in her courtroom. Loren was very conscientious, he always returned my calls and he fought for me until he got the best result possible. I highly recommend him as a criminal defense lawyer.

I was charged with retail fraud and I hired a lawyer that I met when I was in court. He charged me $1000 and had me enter a plea. As soon as I left the court, I just knew in my gut that something was wrong. I found Loren Dickstein and talked with him a couple times. I decided that he could help me and I hired him despite already spending money on the other lawyer. I figured that even though Loren was a litte more expensive, my reputation, criminal history and the possible sentences were just too important that to stick with the guy who sold me out in court on the day of my plea.
Loren Filed a motion in the court and go the prosecutor and jusdge to agree with a sentence thta keeps the case off my record and will save me a lot of time and money while on probation.
It was terrible to have to hire a second lawyer but in the end, it was totally worth hiring Loren Dickstein to help me. I would NEVER use any other lawyer for anything!

I am a family law attorney who has focused my practice on men's rights for 12 years. I have referred many clients to Mr. Dickstein for over 6 years and couldn't recommend someone more highly. He has successfully represented clients of mine who have been falsely charged with domestic violence, criminal sexual conduct and other transgressions. Mr. Dickstein is prepared, vigilant and professional. He does not "sell his clients out" by having them take pleas in situations in which don't warrant it--something all too prevalent with lawyer in domestic cases. When my client's spouse or significant other abuses the criminal justice system (or the statute on Personal Protection Orders) in order to gain advantage in divorce court, I turn to Mr. Dickstein and have never been disappointed.

Mr Dickstein represented me in a federal case. I had hired another attorney who didn't return calls or seem to care about my case. They had also told me to expect about 5 years. I found Mr. Dickstein on AVVO and switched to him. My final verdict was for 1 day and 2 years of supervision. Throughout the entire process he always kept me informed of what was going on and tried to keep my spirits up. At the same time he was always upfront about things and didn't try to sugar coat things, just to tell me what I wanted to hear. If you want an honest lawyer who is going to be straight with you, but at the same time work his butt off defending you, your first and only call should be to Mr. Dickstein.

I used Loren Dickstein recently as my lawyer in marijuana case in Southfield, Michigan. He did a great job. Other lawyer's I've used don't return calls or make promises they cannot keep.

I also referred him my brother on a case and he is doing a good job for him as well.

My family was low on money and moving out of Michigan to another state where my wife found better employment. A couple weeks before me, my wife and two kids were supposed to move, and out of desperation, I made a false insurance claim to try and make some quick extra money. I was caught and immediately charged with a felony. I knew of Loren Dickstein because he had represented a couple of my friend in the past and gave him a call on the weekend. He got right back to me and agreed to take my case. The amazing thing was that my case was with a really tough county prosecutor's office and got them to reduce the charge to a misdemeanor really fast and then got the judge, who loves probation, to just give me a fine and let me move with my family. My wife was going to divorce me if I was not able to move with them because of what I did. Loren literally saved my marriage, kept a felony off my record, saved me a ton of money in fines and costs, kept me from having to fight for my children, and kept me out of jail and off probation. Wow! I thank him so much.

Loren represented me in a case where I was facing three charges, two of which happened to be felonies. Loren walked me through step by step on what to expect. When the case went to court Loren knew exactly what to do, after he spoke with the judge my case was taken under advisement. I was instructed by the judge to stay out of trouble for 6 months and my record would be expunged. Not only did Loren help ensure that I would have a second chance, he taught me that life is about choices which since that day twelve years ago I have learned to make much better ones. Thanks again Loren.

He is very aggressive and did a great job on my case. I was being prosecuted for embezzlement from my employer. My plan was just to plead guilty and throw myself upon the mercy of the court and I wanted to hire a lawyer to help me get a better sentence. Mr. Dickstein took a different approach and told the prosecutor that we were going to trial if I didn’t get a plea bargain. Since I did it, I didn’t think that was going to work too well but I believed in him. At the pretrial in circuit court, the prosecutor offered a misdemeanor and now I don’t have a felony record. I truly never thought that would happen. If it hadn’t been for his preparation, legal knowledge, and reputation in that court, I believe I would not have gotten a plea deal. In truth, I think the prosecutor just didn’t want to go up against him in trial even though it was a strong case but I don’t know that. Either way, I would never use another lawyer and I will tell everyone I can how he helped me.

I hired Loren Dickstein to represent me as a second lawyer in a criminal case. I already was working with an experienced attorney but I wasn't feeling like everything possible was being done to help me or at least that the attorney was working as hard as he could on my case. I was referred to Loren by someone who had hired him years ago and spoke very highly of him. I consulted with him and he agreed to work with my current attorney who I didn't want to fire. Loren was a huge help, knew exactly what to do to make things happen and got a resolution to my case that I wouldn’t have gotten without him. The original attorney had heard of Loren and was happy to have the opportunity to work with him. In truth, I think the first lawyer didn’t know what else to do to help me and he was just happy to have Loren step in and find a way to get me the plea bargain I wanted. Either way, I’m glad I was referred to Loren and he is a really great lawyer.

Loren recently represented me on a criminal charge in Wayne County. I found him on avvo.com. After hiring him, I quickly learned that he is really well known and he has a reputation as a great criminal defense lawyer. He was very good at communicating with me and always returned my calls and emails. Everyone in court knew him and went out of their way to say hello. They always called our case early and the prosecutor's seems to really treat him with a lot of respect. He did a great job on my case and got a result that was better than expected. I would never hesitate to refer any of my family or friends to him.

I've used Loren Dickstein as my lawyer twice now and I have given out his name to several of my friends. I hired him about 10 years ago on a drunken driving case and he took great care of me. I was recently accused by an employee of stalking (untrue) and she went to the police to report that I was following her and harassing her. I explained to Loren that she made the accusation in response to a negative employment review that I refused to change. Loren met with the detective assigned to my case and explained what was going on. I also took a polygraph test and proved that I was telling the truth. The great thing is that Loren's private investigator turned up a similar prior allegation made by the women from a prior employer of hers and the detective was floored. The bottom line is that I'm not getting charged and she is now being investigated. If I had not called Loren, I truly believe that I would have been charged and I would have been forced to spend a lot more money in attorney fees to clear my name. Because of Loren’s reputation with the police and because he was so resourceful, he saved me a charge and a ton of money.

I hired Loren Dickstein to represent me on a criminal case about 6 months ago and it turned out much better than I even hoped for. My situation was really getting out of control and I needed to find someone I could trust with my life. After I hired Loren, he always returned my calls and most importantly, he was always honest with me (both with the good and the bad). From the start of the case until the end, he never stopped fighting to get me the best outcome. When I complete probation, I will have no criminal record at all! I never expected that. I really appreciate everything he did for me.

Mr. Dickstein handled the matter professionally and kept me informed during the case. He used strategies to help the case and was very patient in accomplishing the results he wanted.

I would highly recommend him to anyone, who is facing serious criminal charges.

I hired Loren Dickstein to represent me on an OUIL case about a year ago. I blew a .09. He went to trial in the Ferndale District Court and got a not guilty verdict. He was very professional, he treated me with respect and he was nice to me. I have stayed in touch with him and recently heard that one of the jurors from my case recently referred another client to Loren. I think that is a real testament to his exceptional abilities.

Loren is very smart and found evidence that got a PPO that was filed against me by my ex-wife dismissed. I watched the judge uphold several PPO's before my case was called and I was very worried. Loren ran the hearing and got in everything we wanted to introduce. The other lawyer tried to get in some emails that my ex-wife created to look like they were written by me. Loren figured out how to keep them out and the other lawyer didn't know what to do. Beating my ex-wife at the hearing who was trying to manipulate the court with her lies made for one of my happiest days. I'm glad Loren was by my side and I would never work with another lawyer as long as he will take my case.

I was charged with domestic violence. Went to jury trial. My lawyer was Loren Dickstein. He was awsome and the prosecutor was overwhelmed. I was found not guilty by the jury after 15 minutes of deliberations. The judge said Mr. Dickstein's trial technique was one of the best he's ever seen. The officer in charge said if is son was ever in trouble he would hire him. The only person who walked out of court angry that day was my ex-wife. He's a great lawyer.
Posted by Fred, a Criminal Defense client, Flag
I had two felonies on my record and every lawyer I spoke to said that I could never clear my record because you can't get an expungment with more than one conviction on your record. At least Loren gave me another option. He told me about a 6.500 Motion and orderd the transcripts from my prior convictions. He was honest and told me that a 6.500 Motion was a long shot. I had nothing to lose and everything to gain. We ended up finding a way to get one of the convictions set aside and now I'm free to get the other one expunged. Why didn't any other lawyers know how to do that??? I'm sure glad I found Loren and I highly recommend him. He is intelligent, trustworthy and he will tell you how it is.

I hired Loren Dickstein to help me get my driver license back. I lost my license because of more than one OWI conviction. I stopped drinking years ago but don't believe in AA and had not gone in many years. I lost twice with two different lawyers before I hired Loren Dickstein. I have to admit that I was a little suspicious and really didn't trust lawyers too much after the previous results. Loren Dickstein promised me that he would give me the best chance possible if I followed his instructions and got him the information he requested. It took time and effort but we got it done together. He prepared me really well for the hearing and by the time he got done asking me questions, the hearing officer really didn't have too much more to say. Not only did we win but the hearing officer said how impressed she was with my recovery. Wow, what a different experience. You’ve shown me that some lawyers can be trusted. Thank you Loren, I really owe you and I will send you anyone I know who needs help!!!

He is a great lawyer. I was charged with OWI third offense which is a felony and I was looking at a lot of jail time, and losing my job. He filed a motion to dismiss the charges and proved that the police officer lied about my driving. The judge ruled that the stop was illegal and he dismissed the case. Needless to say, the prosecutor went crazy. I don't think any other lawyer would have fought so hard for me.

Mr. Dickstein represented me in a case where I was accused of armed robbery in Pontiac, Michigan. Three white teenagers accused me of robbing them with a gun. Loren was the only one who believed in me. He took the case to jury trial and by the time it was over, the jury was ready to convict the witnesses of purjury. I was found not guilty. He gave me my life back. Even when my family doubted me, Loren stuck by my side.

A CPS worker put me on the child abuse registry with the State of Michigan. I hired Mr. Dickstein to take over my case from another attorney. My wife, who is also a lawyer, was also put on the registry and she had her own attorney. Mr. Dickstein took the lead and my wife's lawyer just copied everything he did. He got the case going in my favor and, after a brief meeting at CPS, they decided not to fight Mr. Dickstein any more and just dismissed me off the registry. A year later, I was charged in a separate case with resisting and obstructing the police and he got that dismissed.

I was charged with several counts of CSC that I didn't commit. I had hired an attorney who was not fighting for me. I fired that lawyer and hired Loren Dickstein. He fought the case like I was his family. He always returned my calls and was prepared at every court date. He wasn't afraid of the prosecutor or the judge (who everyone said was the toughest in Oakland County - Andrews, I think). We went to jury trial and the prosecutor offered me a misdemeanor. I refused because I was innocent. We took the verdict...not guilty. I never had a doubt because he was fighing with everything he had and he had all the witnesses and evidence lined up. I refer him everyone I know and I only hear good things. He saved my life and that of my family.
Lawyer’s Comment:
Thank you LaDale! We made a great team!! One small correction though. I was not a "court appointed attorney" in your case. In rare cases, the United States Federal Defender's Office has a conflict and is unable to represent a defendant in a federal criminal case (felony or misdemeanor). When this happens, the United States District court will ask a private lawyer from the Federal CJA Panel to represent the defendant. The CJA Panel is a small, exclusive list of the most highly experienced, well respected federal defense lawyers. These attorneys are screened and reviewed on a yearly basis by the court and the Federal Defender's Office. For example, the CJA Panel recently had some openings and hundreds of lawyers requested consideration. I was told that only 1% of the applicants were approved. Regardless of whether I am privately retained on a case or working as a CJA Criminal Defense Specialist, I do everything humanly possible to win a case or obtain the best possible outcome for my client. I'm so glad that I was able to achieve an extraordinary result in your case! Take care.
