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

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

• Does Jared offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Jared take my case if I'm outside Navarre?

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

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

• Is Jared accepting new criminal defense clients right now?
