COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you
contact us.
Should I speak to police or investigators before calling a lawyer?
Before discussing the allegations with police or investigators, ask to speak with a lawyer. Keep any paperwork you receive and contact us promptly. If the arrest involves DWI or a request for a chemical test, tell us immediately because refusal can have separate license consequences.
Can the firm help before an arrest?
Yes. The firm represents people who are under investigation or have been contacted by police, federal agents, or other investigators. Contact us with any interview request, subpoena, notice, or deadline so an attorney can assess the situation and discuss an appropriate response.
What should I bring to the consultation?
Have any court papers, summonses, notices, subpoenas, and upcoming dates available. Identify the court or agency and the best way to contact you. You can start with a short summary. Ask the attorney how to provide sensitive records or documents securely.
Can you help if I live outside New York?
The firm represents clients who live outside New York and have New York criminal matters or federal cases in EDNY or SDNY. Contact us to discuss the court, current status, and any appearance requirement. An initial consultation can take place by phone.
How much does a criminal defense lawyer cost?
The initial consultation is free. Representation fees depend on the matter, its complexity, the court, and the work required. The firm will discuss the proposed scope and fees with you before you decide whether to retain counsel.
Do you offer payment plans?
The firm offers payment plans. Ask about the options for your matter during the consultation. The payment schedule and scope of representation should be set out in the written retainer agreement.
