Questions people ask before they call

Is the consultation really free?
Yes. The first consultation is free and carries no obligation. You can describe your situation, ask questions, and understand your options before deciding whether to hire us.
When should I contact a criminal defense lawyer?
Immediately. Early legal guidance protects your rights and prevents mistakes that can affect the case. Contact a lawyer as soon as possible after an arrest, investigation, police contact, desk appearance ticket, or criminal court notice. Our guide on how to choose a criminal defense lawyer in Brooklyn explains what to look for.
How much does a criminal defense lawyer cost?
Cost depends on the charge, complexity, court appearances, and whether the case goes to hearing or trial. Spahija Law offers a free consultation and transparent flat fee structures where possible. Our article on what a criminal defense lawyer costs in Brooklyn breaks it down.
What kinds of cases do you handle?
DWI, theft, assault, domestic violence, weapons charges, drug offenses, order of protection matters, desk appearance tickets, federal cases, white collar crimes, and other misdemeanor and felony charges in New York. See all practice areas.
Which courts do you appear in?
We appear regularly in Brooklyn Criminal Court at 120 Schermerhorn Street and Kings County Supreme Court at 320 Jay Street, and we represent clients across all five boroughs, Nassau County, and Westchester County.
What should I have ready when I call?
Anything you already have helps, but nothing is required to start. Useful items include the arrest paperwork or desk appearance ticket, the next court date, the precinct or court involved, and the names of anyone else charged. If you do not have any of that, call anyway. We will work from what you know.

The sooner you call, the more we can do

Evidence gets collected, deadlines run, and decisions get made early in a case. Reaching out today costs you nothing.
