I offer flat-fee billing to provide clarity and predictability at every stage of your case.
Criminal charges are stressful enough; you should not have to worry about unexpected hourly invoices.
​
Below is a structured overview of my services.
Step 1: The Consultation
Strategic Defence Consultation
Time: 45 minutes
Cost: $250*
​
This dedicated 45-minute consultation is a structured review of your situation and a thought-out defence roadmap. The meeting may be in-person or virtual, depending on your needs.
During our meeting, I will give you:
-
A detailed and clear explanation of the allegations
-
Identification of key legal vulnerabilities or risks
-
An assessment of resolution versus trial strategy
