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

Laird 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 Laird for a criminal defense case?

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

• Does Laird offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Laird take my case if I'm outside Twin Falls?

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

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

• Is Laird accepting new criminal defense clients right now?

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