FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Yes, we normally start with a set fee depending on whether the case is a DUI, misdemeanor, or felony. From there, the fee may increase depending on the particular circumstances of the case. However, we always try our best to be as affordable as possible, and we will work on reasonable payment plans for clients who cannot put down a large lump sum.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We always start off with a brief conversation to get an understanding of the client's situation. From there, we either ask the client to come meet with us at our office or at a place that is convenience for the client. At the in-person meeting, we thoroughly discuss the client's legal issue with him/her, advise him/her of the best legal strategy for the case, and answer any and all questions that the client may have. After the initial meeting, we start working on the client's case (e.g., researching legal issues, drafting motions, subpoenaing documents). We always remain in contact with clients in order to keep them in the loop about what is going on with their case, and are happy to answer their questions throughout all stages of their case.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My focus in both law school and practice has always been criminal law. I have a certificate in criminal law from DePaul University, where I earned my J.D. with honors. I am also an active member of several bar associations, including the Illinois State Bar Association and the Chicago Bar Association. In addition, I keep a close eye on new criminal law cases on a daily basis and keep up with criminal law news in order to best utilize all possible legal avenues for our clients.
