Fees for Criminal Defense

Generally speak we charge flat fees for our criminal defense services. The flat fee includes representation from arraignment through sentencing including all pre-trial hearings and motions; however, it does not include representation at trial. Statistically, only 5% of criminal cases proceed to trial and for this reason we charge for our trial fees separately. Below is a list of the fees we generally charge. All fees for criminal defense representation assume case is pending in Jackson County and are subject to attorney case review. We do not generally offer payment plans for criminal defense matters and payment in full is due at the time we are retained.

General Misdemeanor Defense - $500

Includes all misdemeanors with maximum sentences of 180 days or less.
Trial fee is $500 for first day and $300 per day after that.

Serious Misdemeanor Defense - $750

Includes all misdemeanors with maximum sentences of 180 days or more
Trial fee is $750 for first day and $300 per day after that.

Driver's License Restoration - $1000

General Felony Defense - $1500

Includes all felonies with maximum sentences of 15 years or less without consideration of habitual offender notice.
Trial fee is $1500 for the first day and $500 per day after that.

Serious Felony Defense - $2000 minimum

Includes all felonies with maximum sentences of more than 15 years without consideration of habitual offender notice.

Standard Fees for Immigration Services

We charge a flat fees for most all of our standard services so you know what you will pay upfront--no surprises. In most cases, our fee is paid in one or more installments at significant bench marks in your case which spreads the cost of our services over the course of the immigration process. We also offer various levels of service depending on your individual needs. Our standard fees are listed below. These amounts represent the fees we charge for a routine case. Some cases involve extraordinary circumstances and may require substantial additional work. We will advise you after evaluating your case if any circumstances exist which would require us to deviate from our standard fees. The fees list below DO NOT include appeal of denials, any required waiver applications or representation at consular or USCIS interviews unless specifically indicated. We represent clients in additional immigration matters that are not listed here. If you require representation for something other than what is listed here please contact us for a fee quote.

In general, we do not accept cases which are not approvable or have an extremely low likelihood of approval. We screen these cases out during the case evaluation process. Our Full Service representation includes a approval guarantee. The approval guarantee means that if your case is not ultimately approved we will refile your application or petition for no additional attorney fee. Any additional required filing fees for a re-file remain the responsibility of the client. If we are unable to obtain an approval after our first refile we will refund your attorney fee in full and 50% of the initial filing fee. In some cases, after evaluating your case, we may determine that while your case is approvable under the law there is a high likelihood of denial. In such cases, if the client decides to proceed anyway, we may subject acceptance of your case to a waiver of our approval guarantee.
