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

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

• Does Nhat offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Nhat take my case if I'm outside Philadelphia?

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

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

• Is Nhat accepting new criminal defense clients right now?

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