When choosing an attorney, I suggest you consider the following factors:

1. Does that attorney practice only criminal law?  An attorney who focuses on only one area of law may be more knowledgeable about your case.  You wouldn’t want to trust your life to a surgeon who only practices medicine part time.
2. Are you hiring an attorney or a firm?  You want to hire one attorney who will handle your case from beginning to end.  This attorney will know more about your case and may get you a better result.  At some firms you think you are hiring one attorney, only to have your case assigned to a junior associate.  Choose and hire an attorney, not a firm.
3. Is your initial consultation free?  If you cannot sit down face-to-face and discuss your case for free, how can you decide if it is worth hiring that attorney?
4. Are you being promised a specific result?  NO attorney can guaranty specific results, no matter what.  Choose and attorney who will tell you the truth and give you the facts you need to make the decisions yourself.

If you are considering hiring an attorney, or even if you are curious about what your charges mean, contact my office and schedule a free initial consultation to discuss your case.  I practice only criminal law, having been both a City and State prosecutor.  When you hire me, I will be the only attorney who works on your case.  I pride myself on my candor with my clients.  I never sugar-coat situations and I always give my clients all of the facts and advice necessary for them to make their own informed decisions.  When I meet with you, I will tell you if you even need to hire an attorney at all.  If you do decide to retain our services, I offer reasonable fees, payment plans, and you can make payments by credit card.

The cost to defend you against criminal charges varies with the complexity of the case. Please contact us to make an appointment to discuss your case.  Remember, our initial consultation is free.
