Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I want to meet with my clients and gather as much information as I can about them and their pending matter. It is important for me to get to know who my clients are and understand their needs in order to better advocate on their behalf.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I started my legal career as a law clerk for a state criminal judge. I then transitioned over to the district attorney's office in Dallas, working as a prosecutor for several years before opening my own criminal defense firm. One year into my solo practice, I was appearing on national news providing legal analysis on various legal issues, thus establishing myself as a legal analyst.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
The factors considered when assessing the retainer fee are the following: 1) County where charge is pending; 2) Severity of charge; 3) Number of pending charges; 4) How old the case is.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I only work with individuals who are facing criminal prosecution.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
You have to know how to interview attorneys. Don't assume that an attorney can handle all areas of law. You have to make sure that an attorney not only practices criminal law, but has trial experience. This is extremely important.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
What areas of law does the attorney practice in? How long? And how many trials have they had where they were sitting first chair?
