How much do the services provided at Haggerty, Haggerty and Maschmeyer cost?
We offer a free, brief phone consultation with an attorney. We usually can quote a flat total fee based upon the defense options chosen. Guilty pleas cost less than bench trials, suppression motions and jury trials. We require a retainer. The retainer is usually half of the anticipated total fee. The total fee must be paid in full before the conclusion of the case. We will establish a payment plan for the balance of the fee, at the time we take the retainer. The earlier you retain us in the process, the lower the retainer because of the longer period available to make payments. Be leery of attorneys taking small retainers with no upfront total fee. You risk that attorney withdrawing from your case when you are unable to pay the fee balance, which was an amount you did not know.
