Good Strategy

Mr. Karpel listened to me, came up with good plan and strategy. He empowered me by asking me to gather information for the mitigation package which was finally reviewed by the DA. At that point my case moved in the right direction. Due to Mr. Karpel's diligence with calling, writing, and emailing the... DA my case is finally getting the treatment it deserves rather than me getting railroaded as would have been the case. I definitely recommend Mr. Karpel.

EXPERT AND A WINNER

When you absolutely cannot afford a mistake because your freedom is hanging in the balance hire Jeremy Karpel. I was charged with cultivating over 2500 marijuana paints, manufacturing drugs, distribution, and conspiracy. I found myself facing 7 years in prison. When it was all said, and done with Jer...emy’s expertise, all charges were dismissed and my good name restored. If you are in trouble I implore you to pick up the phone and get Jeremy Karpel to represent you.

Worst lawyer, expensive and will sell you out to the District Attorney

We hired Mr. Karpel to defend my brother in a self defense case, we gave him all the proof he needed and yet he chose to sell my brother to the D. A. He lied to my brother about the plea deal he was giving him and got him to sign it without giving him all the cons of pleading guilty. He chose the wor...st moment to lie to my brother, at his worst moment, when he was scared to death. Thats when he lied to him and got him to sign the plea deal. We hired another lawyer and fired Mr. Karpel. This new lawyer was hired to fight the plea deal so that my brother could have his day in court and when Mr. Karpel was called under oath he lied yet again to defend himself and never admitted his wrong doing. My brother defended himself, never got his day in court to prove he acted under self defense and Mr. Karpel was the final nail to send him to jail. He is seving time because Mr. Karpel is a poor excuse of a man, yet alone a lawyer. Please do not hire Mr. Karpel, look elsewhere for your defense or the defense of a loved one, we as a family paid the price of hiring Mr. Jeremy Evan Karpel, dont do our mistake.

We pride ourselves on solid representation and happy clients and it pains us to see anyone unhappy. It is unfortunate that this particular client had a bad experience, as most of our clients are extremely happy with the level of representation and personalized attention they get. Each and every case is different and due to circumstances out of our control within the criminal justice system, it’s impossible to guarantee that a client will always be happy with the final result. In this particular case, the facts were extremely egregious and a plea was the best result we could hope for. The court reviewed the matter and agreed. We take our reputation very seriously and want each and every client happy not just with the results, but with how the process was handled by our team. We always welcome feedback & opportunities to improve the representation we provide while navigating the unfortunate criminal justice system.

a great experience

Jeremy helped me with a personal matter with incredible honesty and responsiveness. Nobody ever wants to need a criminal attorney, but if you ever do, there is nobody more capable.

Best Criminal Attorney

Jeremy Karpel found out about my case through a friend of mine. I had used a work credit card for personal use for the span of a year and had accumulated a large sum of money. Unfortunately I came to Jeremy after I had already turned myself into my boss and signs papers admitting I did what I did. Je...remy went with me to the court to turn myself in. I could have been facing 4 years in prison. He is extremely knowledgeable, kind and straight forward. He told me from the beginning what the worse case could be and what he was going to try and do. He saved my life. He worked with the DA. I got a great deal and it was because of Jeremy Karpel. He always answerd my phone calls personally and never made me feel that I was just a number or just another client. I got the start I did because of the confidence of Jeremy Karpel.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
