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

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

• Does Dean offer a free consultation?

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

• Can Dean take my case if I'm outside Lewiston?

  Dean is licensed in Idaho. Matters governed by Idaho law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Dean 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 Dean?

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

• Is Dean accepting new criminal defense clients right now?

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