Fees for Criminal Defense
Generally speaking 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 but fees vary from case to case. All fees for criminal defense representation assume case is pending in Jackson County—fees may be higher for out-of-county work. We do not generally offer payment plans for criminal defense matters and payment in full is due at the time we are retained.

Trial fee is $500 for first day and $300 per day after that.

Fees for serious felonies will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
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. 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.
