San Jose Criminal Law Office

Question: How do I hire you?

Answer: If you are local, just call or e-mail me to set up an appointment. My first consultation to determine if we will be working together is free. If you are calling or writing on behalf of someone in jail, I will need to talk to you first before seeing the prospective client. If I will be meeting someone in jail, I will need his/her name, date of birth, location (which jail is he in?), and booking number if you have it. If you are missing any of that, simply the name and date of birth and county of incarceration are most important. I do take collect calls. All calls from the jail are collect. After we meet, if you decide to hire me, we will complete a contract or retainer agreement setting forth what you can expect from me and the payment I would expect from you. If you are calling or writing from out of the area, we can consult by way of phone for basic information. If you wish to meet me in person, feel free. On the other hand, if you decide after phone consultation to hire me, I can take payment by either check or by major credit cards and e-mail my fee agreement.
