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

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

• Does Bryce offer a free consultation?

• Can Bryce take my case if I'm outside Gainesville?

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

  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. Bryce will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.
