Here are some common questions we receive from clients facing criminal charges.
Many people do. Avoiding jail depends on the charge, your record, the facts, and how early and aggressively your defense begins.
Bonding out is only the beginning. You still face charges, and having a lawyer act quickly is critical to protect your freedom and shape the outcome.
At court you appear before a judge, hear the charges against you, and your attorney speaks on your behalf. Depending on the stage of the case, this may involve entering a plea, arguing bond conditions, filing motions, negotiating with the prosecutor, or setting the case for trial. Your lawyer’s role is to guide you, protect your rights, and handle the process so you are not left guessing.
Whether you lose your license depends on the type of charge and the outcome of your case. For certain offenses, such as DWI, a license suspension can occur quickly, sometimes even before the case is resolved. An attorney can challenge the suspension, request a hearing, and in many cases secure an occupational license so you can keep driving legally while your case is pending.
We begin with an initial retainer that allows us to start working on your case immediately. From there, we offer structured payment plans through LawPay, Affirm, or other flexible options, allowing you to spread the cost over time. Every plan is tailored to your specific case and budget, and we ensure you know exactly what to expect upfront. No hidden fees, no surprises.
