| What is the legal fee arrangment for a criminal case? |
| The legal fee for a criminal matter depends upon several factors. Those factors include the severity of the crime, whether a felony or misdemeanor, the defendant’s criminal history, and whether the case will be resolved before, during, or after trial. Fee arrangments are often a flat fee for representation before trial and a trial fee if hearings or trial is necessary. Fee arrangments can also be on an hourly basis. In either case an upfront retainer is usually required. Fees for representation at an arrangment are usually waived if an attorney is retained prior to the arraignment. Otherwise a flat fee for tracking the arraignment and appearing in court applies. Contingency fees are not possible in a criminal case. |
