What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
No one likes to receive a monthly bill from their lawyer. My clients have found great relief in knowing I charge a flat fee. You will know the total attorneys fees from the beginning. Some attorneys quote a low initial fee for minimal work but have tiers of new fees once the real work begins that can triple their initial quote. My firm does not. I am far more interested in working on defending you and fighting for your rights than I am in billing you every month. I work with each client individually on payment arrangements. My firm is established and, with over 30 years of experience exclusively in Criminal Law, I am able to charge lower fees than others with my experience. You deserve excellent representation and I will work with you to make it affordable.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Look for experience, especially experience as a district attorney and a trial lawyer with over 200 jury trials. Experienced attorneys who practice criminal law exclusively and have done so for decades have the expertise, insight, and connections to obtain the best results possible on each case.
What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
Ask about their experience, both specific and general. Do they practice other areas of law, or are they an exclusive criminal law defense firm like Alfrey & Associates, PC. The prosecutors know which lawyers are real trial lawyers and which are high-priced babysitters. Prosecutors will negotiate with attorneys they know have the experience to challenge the charges they have brought. Have they tried at least 100 jury trials? Were they previously a district attorney and know how prosecutors think? Do they charge a flat fee like Alfrey & Associates, PC, or will you have to make decisions in your case based upon whether you can keep paying their additional attorneys fees? Do they give you the time to talk and do they listen to what is important to you? We do.
