At our initial meeting, after obtaining the necessary information about you, your arrest, and your situation, and evaluating your case, I will discuss legal fees with you. Since in almost all cases I charge a fixed or set fee, you will know in advance precisely how much your defense will cost. You will also be informed when in the proceedings those fees are due. You will be given the opportunity to decide what you wish to do. If you decide to retain my services, we will enter into a written fee agreement.
