Attorney’s Fees:

A nominal consultation fee* is charged for all criminal matters. However, if the firm is retained to represent the client, the consultation fee is applied to the actual retainer fee.

Fees are based on the seriousness of the charge, whether there is one charge or multiple charges, the number of courts involved and the amount of legal work Attorney Lyons and his staff will encounter. Fees are not based on ability to pay. All initial retainers are due and payable before the start of representation, but with appropriate credit checks and references, the firm will consider an affordable payment plan.

*No consultation fee for existing or former clients.
