What should I expect during an Initial Consultation
When you call to schedule a consultation, you may initially encounter a phone conference rather than a face to face meeting. Do not be alarmed by this, as phone conferences are advantageous to both you and the criminal attorney. You do not have to take as much time away from work, school, or find daycare, as you would if you were coming to the office. Often, the phone conference can take place immediately or certainly more quickly than an in-office appointment. Phone meetings also show that we understand the pressures you are facing in your Mississippi DUI case and wishes to make the process as painless as possible. We value your time and do not ask people to make unnecessary trips to consult. Phone conferences allow for greater flexibility at night and weekends.
During this initial consult, you will need to inquire of the background of attorney, allow the attorney to make an initial case assessment, what to expect during the process and legal fees involved.
