Because every case is unique, it is impossible to attach a price tag (on a web page)
to the defense service which you or your loved one needs.
For example, on the low end, you may need Dan to file a simple motion and make a
single court appearance for you – this would likely cost $1,250.
On the extreme other end of the spectrum you may need Dan, his investigator, and
a small team of specialized forensic experts to prepare, negotiate, and ultimately
present your defense in a three month long jury trial. In this situation the team
could spend a year (or more) preparing for and presenting your defense. If your
life is literally at stake, you are less concerned about costs and very concerned
about results. In this situation you need your defense team to do everything possible.
The costs of this type of representation can easily get into six figures. This type
of case can be problematic for our firm to even accept.
Most likely you are somewhere in between.
In general terms we often quote prices in the $2,500 range to handle misdemeanor
cases and $5,000 for straight-forward felony cases (not including trial). Keep in
mind these are very rough figures and your case may be more (or less).
In fact, we have devised eight different “service packages”. So if you can’t afford
the “no holes barred – do everything possible” approach we may propose various alternatives
that are intended to maximize what you can have done with the resources that you
have available.
The bottom line is that we want to help you. We will do our best to craft a relationship
that will work for you.
One question we are often asked is “can I make payments”. Well, not exactly. On
most cases our clients pay by credit card (Visa/MC/AMX). It seems that family members
are often involved. When all else fails we see clients taking advantage of the internet
“instant credit card” offers.
On simple cases you can retain Dan with a telephone call. In many cases we can gather
the information we need over the telephone and appear for you in court – without
you ever needing to step foot inside the courtroom.
