The researching attorney discipline can be done both on our website (ask for it in the lawyer's profile) or on the website of the Bar Association (PDF list).

How much does a defense attorney cost?

Determining the exact price is practically impossible. The hourly rate is influenced by several factors, including the complexity of the case, the attorney skill and experience, as well as your location or criminal history. It also depends on what method of payment you agree on. In general, criminal defense lawyers in he United States use one of two billing methods: an hourly fee or a flat fee. Typical, you can expect to pay $180 to $850 an hour for a criminal defense lawyer's time. This wide range is given by the above mentioned parameters. A professional criminal defender with a lot of criminal cases (and with a lot of great reviews) will hardly agree to an hourly rate of around $200. On the other hand, a lawyer who has just graduated should charge less than $150. With an hourly fee structure, it is not uncommon for legal bills to get into the $7,000 to $25,000 range relatively quickly.
