Meeting & Paying Your Attorney - Fairfax Criminal Lawyer’s Roadmap
Meeting & paying your Virginia criminal attorney made easy by Fairfax criminal lawyer
Meeting and paying for your Virginia criminal attorney can be a turnkey operation when you deal with me and my staff. As a Fairfax criminal lawyer, my staff and I have set up a smooth and quick approach for you to deal with me and my assistants at every stage, starting from the first time you contact us right through your last day in court, plus any follow up beyond your last court date. You will receive a real-time or soon-after reply to your phone call 703-383-1100, email info@BeatTheProsecution.com, or text (571-406-7268). My team will ask you a few basic questions to ensure that yours is a case that I handle (which typically is most jailable Virginia DUI, felony, or misdemeanor prosecutions (but not lower-level non-DUI traffic cases)). You will be offered a time to meet with me, usually as early as the same day you call or no later than the next day. If your matter is one we do not handle, we will often refer you to another lawyer.
Why should I give myself at least a day to make a final decision on a Virginia DUI or criminal defense lawyer?
Your decision on the right Virginia DUI or criminal defense lawyer for you will have far-reaching implications and effects. Choose your lawyer wisely. Contact us for a free short webinar on choosing the right lawyer for you. It may be tempting to hire the first lawyer you speak with, including if that lawyer will talk with you on the spot. However, the right lawyer for you will give you time to choose your attorney, and will answer your important follow up questions you have after your initial consultation. My work with you as your Fairfax criminal lawyer / Virginia DUI attorney will be as a team. We both owe it to ourselves to set aside the time to get to know each other through an appointment set through my staff. Covid taught me that nothing beats meeting one-on-one at least for your initial consultation, and, as such an incentive, I only provide a free initial consultation when it is in person at my office. At the same time, for those who are too far away from me or have a challenge coordinating their calendar to meet with me, I will meet for a reasonable fee which will be credited to the flat fee I quote you for my services.
Why does technology not replace the power of humans fighting for your liberty and reputation?
Technology can be great for legal research and many other things. Technology, however, does not replace the excellence of my staff and the great work they do for you. Calendaring a meeting time with me with an online calendaring system may be convenient to a point, but my staff is quickly responsive for me not to rely on online calendaring. My staff works onsite. Nothing beats that human touch. Remote work during Covid to me felt and was remote. I barely worked from home at any time during the pandemic.
Why is it worth waiting for a meeting with my potential Virginia criminal lawyer to find out what fee he will quote me?
Attorney's fees and court fines and costs are heavily on the minds of all Virginia criminal defendants. You want a great return on your investment when you hire your Virginia criminal lawyer. Part of getting a strong return on your investment is to invest your own time researching potential lawyers, meeting them, and talking with more than one lawyer. My fees are tailored to the individual defendant's case. No two Virginia DUI, drug, or other cases are the same. Whether or not you hire me to defend you, by the time you finish your initial consultation with me, you are likely to feel more knowledgeable and confident about your defenses. That makes your visit with me worthwhile whether or not you hire me. If you hire me, you will see me and my team in full action in pursuing your best defense, not only because you deserve no less, but because that is the fire that burns in our bellies.
Should I seek the least expensive lawyer?
What is the least expensive lawyer? What good is it to spend less on a lawyer but then pay with jail time, high fines, damage to your reputation and more? When you get an acquittal, you owe the court nothing. I am a trial lawyer who prepares each defense to go to trial. I have successfully taken hundreds of cases to trial and have defended thousands of defendants. With trial as the default, there is no desperation to obtain a favorable settlement, which does not always materialize. I bill to be fully prepared for trial. I am either paid to be fully prepared for battle, or I move onto the next client's battle. I am blessed with having a great support staff working with me as we prepare for and proceed to trial. You will notice at your first meeting with me the benefits of having us as your Virginia criminal defense team.
How will I finance and afford the best Fairfax DUI lawyer / Virginia criminal attorney for me?
Most people do not save for the rainy day of a Virginia DUI or criminal prosecution. At the same time, I do not want payment delays to be a wedge between me and my clients. I often offer to split my clients' flat fees in two, so long as the second payment is guaranteed by a credit or debit card and so long as my final payment is received not long after the first payment. Recently, I learned that my credit card processing company has joined with a financing company that enables a quick one-stop approach for my clients to take up to twelve months to pay for their attorney's fee with me, at a reasonable interest rate and apparently favorable overall terms and conditions. Although I cannot vouch for lenders -- because their approaches can change, and their collections aggressiveness can be relentless -- this financing company seems to be a more favorable approach than the others I know of other than going to your bank. At the request of my clients and potential clients, my staff emails them a link for handling this one-stop payment approach. My assistant recently walked through a client with this payment approach, and it was quick and easy. At your meeting with me, feel free to ask me how I have arrived at the fee I quote you and about how you can go about hiring me. Here is our podcast on your options for getting your Virginia DUI or criminal lawyer paid.
Can artificial intelligence replace hiring the best possible Fairfax DUI lawyer / Virginia criminal attorney for me? You will know that answer at your first meeting with Jon Katz
Artificial intelligence (AI) is able to handle many tasks that could have taken non-litigation lawyers hours, including painstaking document review. However, the work of a great Fairfax DUI / Virginia criminal attorney cannot be replaced by AI. Imperfectly akin to this is that orthopedic and brain surgery still needs to be done by a real life surgeon. We do use plenty of technology at my Fairfax criminal defense law firm, and fortunately most courts make matters more efficient for them and litigants through various technological tools. That human touch still remains irreplaceable, starting with your first meeting with me.
