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

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

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

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters.
