Our mentally ill adult son was charged with a second degree felony. When I reached out online looking for a lawyer to deal with this complicated case, Darren?s firm reached out to me within an hour and said they could help. After a consultation with Darren, we felt confident that he could work on our son?s behalf for a NGRI (not guilty by reason of insanity) plea. We were told we could contact him anytime and had direct access to him through his cell phone as well as through email. We availed ourselves of this option several times and were able to speak to him after hours and even on a holiday. Darren gave us EXCELLENT advice as to how to handle this case and because of that, our son was found NGRI and granted conditional release from the state hospital. After many years of hospitalizations with no real improvement in his mental health, our son is finally getting the help he needs under the directive of the court. We are so glad we hired Darren as he made the best case scenario happen for our family. Thank you Darren and your staff that assisted us along the way!

Darren is absolutely terrific! He explains things so very well, is friendly, and gets the job done. I am so so lucky I found him! He also has an associate, Jacob who is equally as amazing! He made sure I under stood things fully before making any decisions and he is a natural. I could not recommend Them enough

I had a criminal case and didn't know what to do. I went online to find an attorney for assistance and I found Darren Meade. He is very knowledgeable about his work. He communicated great with me throughout the trials. He is very responsive and patient in listening to everything I had to say. He worked hard to help me go through my trial case which avoided me to go to prison. I would recommend him to anyone who is facing criminal charges. He will be the best attorney to walk you through every stage of the case trial. I really appreciate his help.

An old friend told me something ill never forget. He said to me, " pay for it now or pay for it later." He couldn't have been anymore accurate. Darren Meade was my attorney and I recommend asking for his assistance if your needing help in a matter where your not sure or weary of a situation because he will make you feel like he has been on your team the whole time. Instantly raises your confidence level in your case. Instead of just advising me on what to do, he advised me on how things will go which is what I needed. His confidence level made me feel on top and his words matched what happened in court. He wasn't afraid to go to trial and he won the case. Case dismissed, no pleading out, no probation. I asked for this and he said yes. That's why the pay for it now is so important. I'm very pleased with him and his team. Thanks Darren!! Sincerely, Christopher Pearce

When we learned that a (factually innocent) family member had an arrest warrant issued for him, Darren was the first person I thought to call. Darren worked with us, reassured us, and decimated the prosecution's case in court. There is no doubt in my mind that, had my family member had an overworked public defender, he would have ended up taking a plea and going to prison as an innocent man. Instead, he walked out of the courthouse as a free man.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
