Albert discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in criminal defense practice — ask which fits.

• How much does it cost to hire Albert for a criminal defense case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Albert walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Albert offer a free consultation?

  Albert charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Albert's office. Some criminal defense attorneys offer free consults — check Albert's current terms during booking.

• How long do criminal defense cases in this state typically take?

  Simple criminal defense matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Albert gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Albert take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Albert evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Albert's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Albert?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Albert will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Albert accepting new criminal defense clients right now?

  Albert's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
