Fees and Billing

How criminal defense and personal injury fees are discussed before representation begins.

Fees depend on the type of case, its complexity, the expected hearings or litigation, and the work involved. The scope and billing terms are explained before representation begins.

You will receive a written agreement describing the fee, the work covered, and how case expenses are handled.

Criminal Defense

Case-Based Defense Fee Structure

Criminal defense fees are typically set based on charge level, procedural complexity, and expected motion/trial workload. We explain scope and expected phases before engagement.

  • Charge severity and exposure level
  • Expected hearings and motion complexity
  • Investigation and expert support needs
  • Expected trial work and case timeline

Personal Injury

Contingency Fee Model

Most personal injury matters are handled on contingency: attorney fees are paid only when recovery is obtained. Terms and expense handling are reviewed clearly at intake.

  • No upfront attorney fee in qualifying injury matters
  • Fee paid from settlement or verdict recovery
  • Case expense treatment explained before engagement
  • Full written agreement before representation begins
