Questions People Ask First
How much does a criminal defense attorney cost?
Most cases are handled on a flat fee, and financing is available. The exact fee depends on the charge and how far the case goes. Your consultation is free, and we explain your options and costs before you decide anything.
Should I talk to the police before I speak with a lawyer?
It is natural to want to explain yourself, but anything you say can be used against you. Politely decline to answer questions until your attorney is present. Exercise your right to remain silent.
Can I hire a civilian lawyer for a court-martial or military case?
Yes. You have the right to hire an independent, civilian military defense attorney in addition to your detailed military counsel. Ferrara Law provides UCMJ defense worldwide.
What areas do you serve?
Ferrara Law is based in downtown San Diego and represents clients in San Diego, Orange, Imperial, Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, in state and federal court. Military defense is available for all branches, worldwide.
How long is the free consultation?
As long as you need. Most consultations take about an hour, and you speak directly with an attorney.
