FEES

We understand that every case is unique, and your situation deserves personalized attention and care. Our goal is to provide you with the strongest possible defense, and that begins with understanding the facts, challenges, and goals specific to your case.
Customized Fees for Tailored Representation
Because no two cases are alike, we cannot provide a one-size-fits-all fee structure. Every detail of your situation impacts the time, resources, and strategy required for your defense. To determine how we can best serve you, we’ll need to take two important steps:
1. Initial Phone Discussion
Before moving forward, we ask potential clients to spend a few minutes on the phone with us. During this call, we’ll gather general information about your case and explain the process of working with the firm. This step helps ensure that we have a clear understanding of what’s going on and allows us to provide insight into what the next steps will look like.
2. In-Depth Consultation
Following the initial phone call, we will schedule a formal consultation. During this meeting, we will discuss your case in greater detail, explore the legal options available, and tailor a defense strategy specifically for you. We will also finalize the terms of representation, including the fee structure and payment schedule, in a written contract.

Minimum Fees and Payment Expectations

We strive to offer exceptional representation while maintaining transparency about costs. The minimum fee we charge for representation is $6,000, with a minimum down payment of $3,000 required to begin work on your case. However, depending on the specific facts and complexity of your case, the total cost of representation may be significantly higher.
Factors That May Affect Pricing
The total cost of representation depends on several factors, including:
• The severity and nature of the charges you face.
• The amount and complexity of evidence involved.
• Whether your case will require extensive pretrial motions, hearings, or a trial.
• Any special circumstances or challenges that require additional time or resources.
Our firm is committed to ensuring that every client receives the attention and preparation they deserve. While the cost of your defense is an important consideration, we prioritize transparency and fairness in all our agreements.
Why Investing in Your Defense Matters
Hiring a skilled attorney is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when facing criminal charges. A strong defense requires meticulous preparation, thorough investigation, and strategic planning—all of which demand time and resources. By investing in your defense, you are giving yourself the best chance to achieve a favorable outcome and protect your future.
