Attorney Fees

Aggressive Board Certified Representation at a Fair Price

Nobody budgets for legal fees and we know that this is a key question for people who hire us. Particularly in this economic environment, you want good value for your money. When you hire the firm of Stradley Chernoff & Alford, you aren't just paying for our time but our years of experience trying and winning tough cases. Our experience and reputation means we can sometimes get charges dropped before trial or get a bond reduced to save you money.

We believe the size of our firm means we can dedicate the right amount of resources for your type of case. For the years of experience we can bring to any matter, we believe our services are a very fair value.

The fees that different criminal defense lawyers charge can vary greatly. One lawyer may charge you $200 and another may charge you $25,000 for the very same criminal case. Often the representation you receive will vary accordingly, but not always. You should be very careful of lawyers who seem to be charging you too little. There may be additional fees for court appearances and other services. Likewise, you should be concerned about any lawyer who charges you a high retainer fee without consideration of what really needs to be accomplished in your case. Criminal cases, like people, are never the same.

The best course of action is to visit several attorneys and spend some time discussing your case. In a face to face meeting you will be able to get a sense of their dedication and concern for your situation. Just a phone call will never reveal this. Plan on spending more for a lawyer who has experience and training and who has an excellent reputation as a trial lawyer. With that type of lawyer, you are likely to get what you pay for. However, you are never going to know whether a lawyer is right for you unless you meet him and see how he responds to your concerns.

We take all major credit cards. Please contact us as soon as possible. Often the earlier you get a criminal defense lawyer involved, the easier the resolution of your case.
