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

Thor 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 Thor for a criminal defense case?

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

• Does Thor offer a free consultation?

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

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

• Can Thor take my case if I'm outside Fort Morgan?

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

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

• Is Thor accepting new criminal defense clients right now?

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