Answer: Hiring an experienced criminal defense lawyer from San Jose Criminal Law Office is as easy as 1, 2, 3. Even if you are hiring us on behalf of a friend or loved-one in jail, or from outside the San Jose, CA area, we make it simple to get the legal representation you or the defendant deserves. Just follow these three easy steps:
Step 1: Contact Us
If you are local, just call or e-mail our office to set up an appointment.
Hiring From Out of the Area
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 in person, contact us to set an appointment. On the other hand, if you decide after phone consultation to hire us, our company can take payment by either check or by major credit cards and e-mail the fee agreement to you.
Step 2: Free, Confidential Consultation
Your first consultation is to determine if we will be working together and is free and confidential. We will discuss your case, your options and how to move forward. Our office is located in downtown San Jose at:
255 N. Market St., Suite 170
San Jose, CA 95110

Hiring On Behalf of Someone in Jail
If you are calling or writing on behalf of someone in jail, we will need to talk to you first before seeing the prospective client. If we will be meeting someone in jail, you will need to give us his/her name, date of birth, location (which jail is he in?), and booking number if you have it. If you don’t have that information, simply the name and date of birth and county of incarceration are most important. We do take collect calls. All calls from the jail are collect.
Step 3: Retainer Contract and Fee Agreement
After we meet, if you decide to hire our firm, we will complete a contract or retainer agreement setting forth what you can expect from us and the payment our office would expect from you.
