Rates, Retainers and Additional Information
On certain occasions, Hendry & Parker, P.A. will consider payment plans for criminal law fees. We understand that attorneys are expensive and that most people do not save up money for when they get arrested. Most people do not expect to ever get arrested. We pride ourselves on being affordable for our clients, yet we advocate in a tenacious but ethical manner. Criminal defense attorneys who allow payment plans are rare, but we will consider it if certain requirements are met. Stop by our office in Dunedin if you’d like to discuss if you qualify for a payment plan. Consultations are always free.
