Usually, you will be charged a flat fee for each stage of your case's proceedings. In felony cases, there is a flat fee for attorney work up until the preliminary hearing and another fee for services rendered from the time of the preliminary hearing and through the trial. In misdemeanor cases, there is a flat fee before the trial and another fee if the case goes to trial. If your case does not reach the trial stage, then you won't pay us for our trial services. This pay structure allows us to keep your costs down.
