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

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

• Does Daryl offer a free consultation?

• How long do criminal defense cases in Maryland typically take?

• Can Daryl take my case if I'm outside Cambridge?

  Daryl is licensed in Maryland. Matters governed by Maryland law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Daryl will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

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

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