What affects the price
Legal fees aren't one-size-fits-all. What you pay depends on how complex your specific charges are, the amount of evidence the prosecution has, and whether your case heads to a full trial or can be resolved through a plea agreement. Attorneys also factor in the time needed for discovery, court appearances, and private investigations. A simple misdemeanor usually costs less than a serious felony charge requiring expert witnesses or extensive research.
