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

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

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

• Does Jeff offer a free consultation?

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

• How long do criminal defense cases in West Virginia 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. Jeff gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Jeff take my case if I'm outside Hurricane?

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

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

• Is Jeff accepting new criminal defense clients right now?

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