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

Oni 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 Oni for a criminal defense case?

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

• Does Oni offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Oni take my case if I'm outside Brooklyn?

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

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

• Is Oni accepting new criminal defense clients right now?

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