Asked in Criminal Law for Ohio

Q: Are there any criminal defense attorneys who will do a free in person consultation?

My lines of communication are compromised and the only guy I spoke with who would do an in person consultation wanted $500 up front which seems like a sweet deal for him. Pay him before I even know if he can help with my case...

A: Hello- As long as the case is a criminal case in our jurisdiction and on a subject matter that we handle, we are happy to do an in person consultation, but we just need to know that basic information to make sure we can handle the case, if need be. We do not charge for the consultation.
