You may have questions regarding the service I can provide to you and your client. Here are some Frequently Asked Questions that may be helpful. If you have other questions, please feel free to contact me.
No attorney can possibly keep up with all areas and complexities of the law, and that is the reason I only contract with attorneys that practice criminal, driving under the influence, and traffic law. I have spent my career defending persons accused of crimes, so I am confident in my research and writing abilities as it pertains to criminal law. Therefore, I would feel uncomfortable charging you for a service that could be done more efficiently by an attorney that practices in that area of law.
I do not practice law outside California, and I only contract with licensed attorneys that practice criminal law in California.
In most instances, once I determine the services you need, I will quote you a flat rate fee. If the criminal matter is complex or you need something rushed, then I charge an hourly rate. For more information on my rates, click here.
I have a robust system check to determine if there are any conflicts of interest, including co-defendant matters. Before we sign an agreement, I will check to ensure that I do not have a conflict. If I do find a conflict of interest, I will inform you immediately.

I do not conduct legal research and writing for individuals without an attorney. I only work with attorneys licensed in California. If you need legal representation, please contact a private attorney in your city, or contact the local Public Defender's Office.
