Working with a new criminal defense attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with Don usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

Don 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 Don for a criminal defense case?

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

• Does Don offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Don take my case if I'm outside St Louis?

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

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

• Is Don accepting new criminal defense clients right now?
