What happens next

You will know where you stand
before you hang up

  1. 01

    You tell us what happened

    In your own words, at your own pace. We will ask questions, and some of them will be uncomfortable. Nothing you say surprises us.

  2. 02

    We tell you what you are facing

    What the charge actually means, how it is usually handled, and what is realistic. Including the parts you would rather not hear.

  3. 03

    You leave with a plan

    What we intend to do, what we need from you, and what happens on what date. You should never be surprised by a result.

  4. 04

    We start before the prosecutor does

    We make the first move, so the prosecutor reviewing your file sees a person with a story rather than a name on a warrant.

On costCost is usually the first question, and we answer it before you decide anything. If your case goes to trial, our fee does not go up.

If you have been charged,
the clock is already running.
