FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge flat fees. Typically there are two fees: one fee for representation up to trial, and one fee for representation at trial. Fewer than five percent of cases go to trial. In most cases, the fee is paid in three payments: one-third up front, one-third a month later, and one-third a month after that.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
For the initial consultation with a prospective client, I have found it's best when the prospective client reads my short book about Ohio DUI/OVI before the consultation. During the consultation, we discuss the facts of the case, the court process, and other relevant topics. We then talk through the three questions which need to be answered before the first court appearance: (1) plead guilty or fight it? (2) hire a lawyer? and (3) which lawyer?
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
