Fees

With expanded use of state and federal forfeiture laws, police agencies commonly seize monies, vehicles, and freeze bank accounts during and following arrest. With high bails in state court and no bail detentions and holds in federal court, an accused often has no recourse for legal fees except from their loved ones. Mr. Teich sets reasonable fees and is willing to sit down and explain to the families, honestly referring to the facts of the case and the controlling law. Mr. Teich will clearly explain what the defendant is facing, what can be done with the case, and what it will cost. While there are always some lawyers who will set lower fees, these lawyers often will do nothing except plead the client guilty to the offered plea bargain. This results when the lawyer does not meet with the client, thoroughy investigate the case, file challenges to the legality of seized evidence, object to involuntary, inadmissible confessions, or pursue possible defenses including a jury trial. Too often client's families come into the law office after a loved one has received a long sentence complaining of poor and unresponsive representation. It is then too late or requires additional expense to pursue post conviction remedies.
