• How much does it cost to hire Andrzej for a criminal defense case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Andrzej walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Andrzej offer a free consultation?

• How long do criminal defense cases in California typically take?

  Simple criminal defense matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Andrzej gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Andrzej take my case if I'm outside San Diego?

  Andrzej is licensed in California. Matters governed by California law are the natural fit. Out-of-state matters are handled case-by-case, sometimes with local co-counsel. Ask during intake — Andrzej will tell you if the case is a fit or refer you to someone closer to your court.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Andrzej?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Andrzej will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.
