# How much does a Providence criminal defense attorney cost?

Costs for a Providence criminal defense attorney vary by charge severity, case complexity, and whether the case goes to trial. Misdemeanor representation often runs in the low to mid four figures as a flat fee. Felony representation runs significantly higher and may shift to hourly billing or a phase-based fee structure. Most Providence criminal defense attorneys including Chad F Bank offer free initial consultations. Many offer payment plans to make private representation accessible. The cost of a lawyer is almost always less than the long-term cost of a conviction, especially when collateral consequences are factored in. Call 401-573-2265 for a free consultation.
