Every case is different.
Determining the cost of defending your case will depend upon a number of factors including the nature and complexity of the charge against you. This is why your first meeting with me is always free. At the end of this meeting I usually will have a sense of what defending you will cost.
I generally bill on a block-fee basis, not hourly. The purpose of block-fee billing is to provide you with certainty. It also will allow you to rest easier knowing that you can consult me without added cost and without fear that your matter may be unduly prolonged at your expense. With block-fee billing, it is in both of our interests to address your criminal matter as quickly and efficiently as possible.
In most cases, we can work out a payment plan that fits your individual financial circumstances. In addition to all traditional banking instruments and cash, you can retain me through Visa, MasterCard, and Interac, including making your payments over my firm’s website, www.criminaltriallawyers.ca.
