Costs for a Providence criminal defense attorney depend on how serious the charge is, how complex the case is, and whether it goes to trial. Misdemeanor representation is usually quoted as a flat fee. Felony representation costs more and may be priced in phases or by the hour. Most Providence criminal defense attorneys, including Chad F Bank, offer free initial consultations, which is where you get an exact quote. 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 once collateral consequences are counted. Call 401-573-2265 for a free consultation.
