If you have been charged with a state or federal crime in Kentucky, you may be overwhelmed with the prospect of choosing the best criminal defense attorney for you. There are several factors that you should consider when hiring a criminal lawyer, including a focus on criminal law, experience with local courts and prosecutors, a good reputation, a clear fee structure, and a law firm that is responsive to you. Our law firm is dedicated to providing legal representation that is centered on our clients’ needs. We take an approach that is designed to achieve the best possible outcome while making sure that our clients are satisfied. First, we offer free consultations for all prospective criminal law and personal injury clients.

During this appointment, we will review any relevant documents (such as a criminal citation or police report) and explain your rights. While we do charge a fee for family law consultations, that fee will be applied to your account if you decide to retain us. Second, we are accessible to our clients. We know that emergencies don’t just happen from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday. Our Lexington criminal defense lawyers give our clients their personal cell phone numbers so that they can be reached beyond office hours. Third, our law firm is well-established in Kentucky, with the resources of a large law firm. Yet because we are a small practice, we are able to provide unmatched service to each of our clients. When you hire Baldani Law Group, you’ll work directly with the attorney who is handling your case.

Fourth, we strongly believe in a collaborative approach, bringing together the strengths of each of our attorneys to tackle our client’s problems. Our lawyers have diverse backgrounds, including within the criminal justice system, including a former prosecutor, former public defender, and former judicial staff attorney. By working as a team, we use each of these unique perspectives to develop strategies with the highest likelihood of success for our clients.
Fifth, we have extensive trial experience in both state and federal court, which means that we aren’t afraid to take your case to trial if necessary. While many criminal and civil cases are resolved prior to trial, this is often due to the work that your lawyer does in the weeks and months leading up to trial. When the other side — whether it is a district attorney, an insurance company or an ex — knows that you are prepared to go to trial, it can make it that much easier to get a settlement of plea deal that works for you.
