• Payment With Credit Card
  As stated above, for criminal law cases, our legal firm accepts MasterCard, VISA, AMEX, and Discover. Some clients on payment plans prefer a month ACH payment from their bank to ours.
• Conditional Fees
  Civil litigation cases like personal injury lawsuits are handled under contracts for contingent fees. Clients for criminal and DUI cases only pay flat fees, and not hourly, since the State Bar will not allow contingency fees on criminal defense work. Felonies cost more than misdemeanors. Some drug crimes require major fee amounts up front. Expungements are typical $1200 to 2500, depending on how many courts the petitions must be filed in. Through our 90 years of criminal defense, our GA lawyers have learned that this is the best plan for virtually every client with a criminal case. The fees are paid in stages, according to how much work on the criminal case is required to win, or find the best outcome short of going to trial. Some cases (like handling a TPOs --- temporary restraining orders) in a domestic violence case, may require a fee for a jail visit or handling the hearing before the judge than comes next. Some identity theft, shoplifting, assault and similar crimes, too.
