It depends on what you are charged with. A simple misdemeanor may cost $1500 to $3000. A serious felony can cost a lot more. Most lawyers charge a flat fee for the case so you know what you are paying up front. Some charge by the hour. A good private lawyer will tell you the price before you sign anything. Many like Chad will work with you on a payment plan. Call and ask. Most lawyers give you a free consultation where you can find out what your case will cost.
