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

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

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

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