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

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

• Does Gaye offer a free consultation?

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

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

  Simple criminal defense matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Gaye gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Gaye take my case if I'm outside Phoenix?

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

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

• Is Gaye accepting new criminal defense clients right now?

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