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

Sunni 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 Sunni for a criminal defense case?

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

• Does Sunni offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Sunni take my case if I'm outside Tacoma?

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

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

• Is Sunni accepting new criminal defense clients right now?

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