When searching for a lawyer, prioritize honesty, reliable information, and evident integrity. Being an informed consumer and considering all options is always a wise choice.

 

For individuals seeking a lawyer for criminal charges, thorough research and reading are essential. Pay attention to how attorneys explain legal matters and present themselves.

 

Facing a criminal or DUI charge is undeniably stressful. As you search for the right lawyer, it's understandable that you may be feeling overwhelmed.

Here are 3 important things you should know when looking to hire a criminal lawyer:

1.

Experience: It is crucial to have a lawyer with relevant experience in your specific case and familiarity with the court proceedings. Our firm selectively accepts cases within our expertise, focusing on criminal cases in Kent, Ottawa, Allegan, Mecosta, Muskegon, Newaygo, Ionia, Oceana, Osceola, and Barry County district and circuit courts.

2.

Fees: Transparency is essential when it comes to pricing, and we prioritize openness in our practice. Misdemeanor fees typically range from $500-$2500, depending on the charge and location. Felony fees usually range from $2000-$5000, again depending on the charge and location. Trial-related fees vary on a case-by-case basis. We don't compete on cost; instead, we charge based on our extensive experience and skills to ensure the best possible results.

3.

Personality: Hiring a lawyer you like and trust is vital since they will represent you when dealing with the prosecutor and judge. Our team values honesty and will never just tell you what you want to hear. We believe in maintaining open communication and avoiding unpleasant surprises for our clients.
