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

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

• Does Jennifer offer a free consultation?

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

• Can Jennifer take my case if I'm outside Rome?

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

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

• Is Jennifer accepting new criminal defense clients right now?
