FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Almost all cases are billed on a flat fee basis. That, as opposed to an hourly fee, means that you will pay one set price for the entire case from beginning to end. You will know that fee up-front. Whether the case gets continued multiple times or ends up taking several days, you will never pay anything more than the original quoted fee.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Almost all client relationships start with a free consultation. This can either be done in person, over the phone or via email depending on the clients preference. Criminal law is not a one size fits all offering. Everything from pricing to potential outcomes will depend on the facts of your case. After that consultation, I will describe in detail my initial strategy for defending your case. I will also describe the strengths and weaknesses of the potential evidence. Finally, I will provide an exact quote for my services.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I earned my law degree from Georgetown University. I worked for a judge in the Fairfax County Circuit while in Law School. My first law job was in the Prosecutor's Office in Fairfax County where I tried all types of criminal cases for 4 years. I continually receive education in criminal law throughout the year to stay abreast of changes in the law.
