A: Navigating the legal system to correct presentence credit can be complex, but having the right attorney can make a significant difference. In Riverside, California, attorney fees for this type of case can vary based on several factors, including the attorney’s experience, the complexity of the case, and the specific services required. Typically, you might expect to pay anywhere from $300 to $900 per hour for legal representation.

Some attorneys may offer a flat fee for handling presentence credit corrections, which could range from a few hundred to a couple of thousand dollars. It’s important to discuss all potential costs upfront during your initial consultation to ensure there are no surprises later on. Additionally, some lawyers might offer payment plans to help manage the financial aspect.

To find the right attorney for your sister’s needs, consider reaching out to local law firms in Riverside and asking about their experience with presentence credit cases. You can also check reviews or ask for recommendations to ensure you choose someone reliable and effective. Investing in a knowledgeable attorney can improve the chances of a successful outcome for your sister’s situation.
