Working with a new criminal defense attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with Rose usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

Rose discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in criminal defense practice — ask which fits.

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

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

• Does Rose offer a free consultation?

  Rose charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Rose's office. Some criminal defense attorneys offer free consults — check Rose'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. Rose gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Rose take my case if I'm outside San Carlos?

  Rose 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 — Rose 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 Rose?

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

• Is Rose accepting new criminal defense clients right now?

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