But fresh outta school lawyers may take more time (or worse, fail to defend you well) so the savings may be nil. So I recommend picking the best lawyer for your needs without too much regard for hourly rate.
In my experience if you pay their retainer fee (usually a couple grand) up front and make regular payments from there, you'll be fine and they won't gouge you with interest.
Call around and find someone that has experience with your particular situation, and go from there. Your criminal record or lack thereof is worth it. " |
