Frequently Asked Questions

What's this going to cost me?

We’ll walk you through the total investment during your consultation. No hourly rates. No hidden fees. No surprises.

Will I go to jail?

That depends on your charges, prior history, and the court. Our job is to minimize that risk — or eliminate it entirely.

Can this be dismissed or reduced?

In some cases, yes. We will have to obtain and review all of the evidence and discuss the case with the prosecutor, and then we can meet with you and discuss all of your options.

How long will this take?

Every case moves at a different pace depending on the court and complexity. While we wish we could answer “not long,” the reality is that there is nothing fast about the criminal justice system. However long you think it should take – be prepared for it to take much longer.

Will this stay on my record?

It depends on the charges and disposition. Some arrests and findings of guilt are eligible for expungement down the line. We’ll talk through your options, when we get to that point.

What if I already talked to the police?

Don’t panic. But stop talking to them — and talk to us instead. We’ll help you understand what that means for your case.

Do I even need a lawyer right now?

If you’re asking that, then it’s time. The earlier we start, the more options you have.

The Sooner You Hire,
The More Options You Have

Waiting to hire a lawyer gives prosecutors more time to build their case — and less time for us to protect you.

  • Early intervention can reduce or prevent charges
  • Delays can cost you evidence, leverage, and credibility
  • The first steps you take after an arrest shape your entire case

Whether you’ve already been charged or just suspect you might be — talking to a defense team early can make all the difference.

Your defense doesn't start in court — it starts the moment you pick up the phone.
