Do I Need to Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?

If law enforcement wants to talk to you, talk to us first.

Call 314-266-9999

Yes—you're in the right place. You may have found this website because you were searching for a criminal defense lawyer, or because someone you trust recommended that you seek legal representation.

If law enforcement has contacted you, left a business card at your home, called your workplace, or reached out to your family or friends trying to locate you, do not ignore the situation—and do not try to handle it alone.

When law enforcement wants to speak with you, it may mean that you are a suspect, a person of interest, or someone they believe may have information relevant to an investigation. Whatever the circumstances, you should understand your rights and your legal options before speaking with investigators.

At the Goldfarb Law Group, we can help you understand what is happening, advise you on how to respond, and take immediate steps to protect your interests. Whether you are facing an investigation or have already been charged, having experienced criminal defense counsel involved early can be critical.

Jeff Goldfarb is a phenomenal, trustworthy and reliable criminal attorney who puts his clients at the top of his priorities. He saved me from a very serious situation which led me to DWI Court's doors. Because Jeff has known me from my very first charge he was aware of my mental illness and was able to get me into co-occurring treatment court which helped me build a new life for myself. He always gave me choices but offered the best advice which helped me become who I am today. He's very professional but has always treated me like a person not a criminal. I am a mother with custody of my children now, I own my own business and I still have my nursing license and use it to teach treatment court now that I've graduated. Jeff backed me up during the program bc he trusted that I had been doing my part since he represented me. Thank you Jeff!! Call him today for your best outcome!!

From the beginning, Jeff demonstrated professionalism, confidence, knowledge, and dedication. I was facing a serious legal situation with potentially life-changing consequences, and he was able to secure an outcome that was far better than I ever anticipated. What truly separates Jeff from other attorneys is that when you hire Jeff, you actually get JEFF. He doesn't take your money and then send someone else to handle your case. He personally shows up, knows what's going on, and puts in the work. That level of personal attention and accountability is incredibly valuable when your future is on the line. Let's talk about his fees, because quality legal representation is an investment. Jeff is worth every single dollar. You're not simply paying someone to appear in court. You're paying for experience, strategy, preparation, advocacy, and someone who knows how to navigate an incredibly stressful legal process. He doesn't just go through the motions. He takes his responsibility to his clients seriously, and his work reflects that. The outcome he achieved for me made an enormous difference in my life, and I will never underestimate the value of having the right attorney representing me. Jeff earned my trust, my respect, and this five-star review. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for serious, dedicated legal representation. Thank you, Jeff, for showing up, standing by your work, and delivering when it mattered most!

I cannot recommend Jeff Goldfarb highly enough! From the very beginning, he was incredibly attentive, taking the time to truly understand the details of my legal issue. His dedication and thoroughness gave me such peace of mind during a stressful time. He was not satisfied until he achieved the best possible outcome for me, and his persistence and professionalism truly made a difference. It's rare to find someone who combines deep legal expertise with genuine care for their clients, but that's exactly Jeff provided. I'm beyond grateful for his help and will recommend him to anyone in need of excellent legal representation.

The most Amazing lawyer I've dealt with.. after facing a minimum of 10 years with seemingly no hope in sight, Jeff somehow managed to get me 5 years probation on both of my cases! He is an expert in the field and knows the ins and outs of the system. It's a miracle even the judge made a comment about him getting these ple deals on my cases… Jeff literally saved my life and I'm forever grateful for his help!

I am a 13 year veteran of law enforcement. I have encountered countless attorneys throughout my career. Today, I must take a moment to acknowledge the very best I have ever come across. Jeff is the most honest, down to earth attorney you could ever hope to find. Even his communication skills are unmatched. Should you ever find yourself in the unfortunate need of a criminal lawyer, look no further, Jeff is the real deal. If a police officer endorsing a criminal defense attorney doesn't speak volumes, I don't know what would.

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you to Jeff and anyone else on his team that may have worked on my case!!! Jeff is not only an an outstanding guy, he's also an amazing lawyer!! There was a couple things about Jeff that really stood out to me that speaks volume to the kind of man Jeff is!! First is how respected he is in the courtroom, probably because anytime I was in court he was the first attorney to approach the judge and I assume that's because he was probably the first attorney there to defend his clients and he certainly does a fine job of that!! The second actually took place on an elevator as we were leaving court an older gentleman who stepped on with us commented something that I won't bother repeating because it was ignorant and not worth repeating, and I know Jeff thought the same because he spoke up and told the man it was a rude thing to comment, and to me that says a lot about the kind of person Jeff is! Thirdly is Jeff's communication skills are ON POINT, anytime I had court or something changed, forms needed signed, municipalities updated their systems Jeff was on top of keeping me informed! I couldn't have asked for a better attorney! I could go on, but I'll end this here, if you're lookin for an attorney who fights hard for his clients, Jeff's the attorney you're looking for!! Thanks again, Don Ivy
