Legal fees vary based on the type of case and level of work involved. During your consultation, Attorney Haskell will review your situation and provide a clear estimate before representation begins.

• Flat Fees: Most criminal defense cases are charged a flat fee based on the type and complexity of the charges.
  
  
• Hourly Billing: Certain matters, such as record expungement or ongoing representation, may be billed hourly.
  

Clients receive detailed monthly statements outlining work performed and costs incurred, so there are never any surprises.

Your retainer is placed into a client trust account. As work is completed, payments are drawn from that account, and an itemized statement is sent each month.

Any unused retainer funds are refunded when your case concludes. If more work is required after the retainer is depleted, you will be informed in advance before additional charges apply.

Attorney Haskell understands that hiring a lawyer can be financially stressful. He helps clients stay involved and minimize costs by encouraging:

• Drafting initial versions of affidavits or discovery responses before attorney review
  
  
• Handling their own copies or paperwork when possible
  
  
• Using email for communication to save time and reduce administrative charges
  

You will also be included in major strategic decisions, weighing both the legal and financial impact of each choice.
