Legal Fees

Mr. Hinman’s fee will be determined after a thorough review and evaluation of your case. Usually it is necessary to gather the available information about the case and conduct an in-office interview before arriving at the fee. Do not expect a fee quote over the phone.

The fee will depend on a number of factors, e.g.: Can the case be contested? Is it advisable to contest it? What will be the objectives of representation?

If the case will be contested, the fee will probably be substantial. “Contested” includes seeking any non-DUI disposition. If the case involves simple plea negotiation, with no other significant charges, the fee will probably be modest.

In most cases, the fee will be a “flat fee,” payable in advance. Generally Mr. Hinman does not finance fee payments. He does, however, accept all major credit cards. In most cases, personal checks are acceptable.

If you hire Mr. Hinman to represent you, the $250.00 consultation fee be credited toward the representation fee.
