FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Every good criminal defense lawyer charges a flat fee not an hourly rate. Every case may be different as it relates to pricing. If a case is going to proceed to an actual trial that case becomes more expensive.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I took the bar exam in 1990 and passed it on the first try. I grew up in St. Paul and so had street smarts to begin with. Before I became a lawyer I was a salesman and sales is definitely part of being a good Criminal Defense Lawyer.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I drove my car through a Kentucky Fried Chicken parking lot years ago and hit one of their curbs which was hidden by snow. This caused great damage to my car. I went against a big law firm out of St Paul representing myself. I won the case and learned how to cross-examine people.
