So How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Criminal Defense Attorney?
Attorney Fees and Costs

Every attorney will quote differing prices depending on the facts of a particular case,
the types of charges and the criminal history of the charged individual.  Some will charge
a flat fee, and some an hourly fee.  Some charge flat fees to handle the case from start to
finish, whether there is a trial or not, and others will offer flat fees depending on where
the case is at in the system and then additional fees if the case is going to proceed to
trial.  While each case is different, one should always be wary of a price that is
signif
icantly lower or higher than what other attorneys are quoting or if you are being
told that your bail fees includes attorney's fees.  If you have never had criminal defense
representation before, it is a good idea to talk to more than one attorney in making a
decision as to whom to retain to handle your case, as it will give you an idea as to what
price is fair and exactly what you will get for your money as well as how far the
representation will go.  Many attorneys accept credit cards and will set up payment
plans after a down payment on attorney fees.
