Get Answers to Your Questions
-
What Does It Cost to Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer?
It depends on the charges, complexity, and what the case is likely to require (motions, experts, contested hearings, or trial). After we review the facts, we can explain fee structure and options clearly during your consultation.
-
What If the Allegation Is Completely False?
False allegations happen. Defense work often turns on documentation, timelines, credibility, and what the evidence actually supports. The earlier you involve counsel, the better the chance to preserve proof and prevent the case from being defined by one-sided statements.
-
How Do You Decide Whether to Fight, Negotiate, or Take a Case to Trial?
We start with evidence and exposure then build a plan that fits your goals.
Key factors include:
- Strength of the evidence (proof vs. assumptions)
- Legal issues (stop/search/interview problems, admissibility, credibility)
- Sentencing exposure (custody risk, strike implications, probation terms)
- Collateral consequences (work, licensing, immigration, family court)
-
What Are the Biggest Mistakes People Make After an Arrest or Investigation Starts?
The common theme is making decisions that increase exposure or create new issues.
Examples include:
- Talking to police “to explain” without counsel present
- Texting or messaging about the incident (even casually)
- Contacting an accuser or witness (can create new allegations)
- Assuming the case is “minor” and waiting until the first court date to get help
