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

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

• Does Glen offer a free consultation?

  Glen charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Glen's office. Some criminal defense attorneys offer free consults — check Glen's current terms during booking.

• 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. Glen gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Glen take my case if I'm outside San Jose?

  Glen 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 — Glen 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 Glen?

  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. Glen will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Glen accepting new criminal defense clients right now?

  Glen's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
