Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I’m arrested?
If you are arrested, remain calm and exercise your right to remain silent. Request to speak with an attorney from The Witmeyer Law Firm immediately. Do not answer any questions without legal representation present.
How can a criminal defense attorney help me?
A criminal defense attorney can assess the charges against you, develop a defense strategy, negotiate with prosecutors, and represent you in court to achieve the best possible outcome.
How long does a criminal case usually take?
The length of a criminal case can vary depending on the complexity of the charges, the legal process, and whether the case goes to trial. Your attorney can provide a more accurate timeline based on your specific situation.
How much does a consultation cost?
We provide free thirty minute consultations with prospective clients.
How much will my fee be?
Costs are explained during our initial consultation.
How can I pay my fee?
Our Office accepts payments made by cash, check, or card. Cash or checks can be dropped off at the Office, and card payments can be made over the phone.
My case is over, how do I get my file?
The Witmeyer Law Firm retains closed files for six years following the conclusion of representation. A former client can request that their closed file be made available for them to pick up. A release of file must be signed by any former client picking up their file.
Do you have a fee schedule for different type of cases?
We charge hourly fees for most work we do, based on the experience level of the attorney involved. We bill paralegal time at a lower rate per hour. For criminal and traffic cases we generally charge a flat fee, which is a one time fee. We require all of our clients to sign a Retainer Agreement for any fees charged and we also provide an email policy statement.
