At our firm we provide a initial strategy session to anyone in need of our legal services. Unlike most law firms, we don’t put a time limit on this meeting. Typically, our strategy sessions can range from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on how complex your situation is.
During this strategy session, we go through a series of steps designed to let you know what to expect both with your case, and with our firm. We will also develop our initial defense strategy with you, which will help you understand the “why” behind what we do.
The most important part of the initial consultation is us listening to what you have to say and share.
One of the most difficult parts of facing any criminal, DUI, or domestic violence charge is feeling like you’ve now suddenly been labeled as a ‘criminal’. It’s a stigma that nobody wants. We understand that many times bad things happen to good people (that’s why we made it our firm’s slogan). Mistakes happen and sometimes people make bad decisions; we get that and are here to support anyone facing legal charges or allegations without judgement.
No matter the circumstances, Rossen Law Firm wants to hear exactly what happened directly from you. You’re the only one who can tell your story. And we believe your story matters.
Every case is unique and each unique quality matters. The facts surrounding your case are very important in determining our strategy.
We like to take an educational approach during our initial strategy session. What that means is that after we’ve heard your story, we’ll go through the charges against you, the criminal process and the minimum and maximum penalties associated with your charges. We’ll explain everything and answer any questions you may have.
We take you through different scenarios of what can happen, and discuss what your goals are both for now and the future as well.
We put together a defense strategy on how we would handle your case to get you the best results possible. By reading the initial police reports together, we will immediately notice problems with the investigation and/or any potential violations of your rights.
In every initial consultation we always disclose our strategy to you.
A lot of law firms like to keep things secret, but that’s not how we do things. It’s important that you know how a lawyer plans to handle your case before you agree to sign the paperwork he/she gives you. We believe in transparency and will always give you a breakdown of what our strategy is, and why we think it is the best alternative.
Once we’re hired, our defense plan starts immediately. Often, evidence at the scene needs to be preserved immediately and the police frequently make mistakes in collecting and preserving this evidence.
As with any service, you need to know not just how much it’s going to cost you, but what value you will receive. We always cover both of those items in an initial consultation.
With a flat fee you know exactly how much you are paying for our services upfront. We don’t do billable hours the way many firms do. We’re not fans of billable hours. You never know how much money you’re going to end up paying in that circumstance, and at the rate many lawyers charge your bill can skyrocket all too quickly. When an attorney charges based on billable hours, every phone call or email will result in more money you have to pay the law firm.
We encourage you to call (754-206-6200) or email us to discuss your case. After all, it’s YOUR freedom and future on the line!
The flat fee varies depending upon the complexity of your case, because again every case is different. But once we’ve heard your story and decided on an appropriate strategy we’ll be able to tell you in the initial consultation how much your defense will cost. That way you know well before deciding whether to hire us exactly how much it would cost you.
Throughout our strategy session we answer any questions you may have.
You may have questions about:
No matter what your questions are, we are happy to answer them during your initial consultation. We understand that criminal, DUI, and domestic violence cases can be very emotionally trying, so we want to make sure you have all of the information you need to make the best decision on which firm to hire to defend your rights.
