Frequently Asked Questions

Criminal Law FAQ

Criminal defense attorneys typically charge $1,500–$3,000 for misdemeanors and $3,000–$15,000+ for felonies. Complex federal cases can exceed $50,000. Hourly rates range from $100–$400/hr depending on location and attorney experience. Public defenders are available for those who qualify.

Statutes of limitations vary by offense and state. Federal and most state murder charges have no limit. Felonies typically range from 3–10 years. Misdemeanors are generally 1–3 years. Some states toll the clock when a suspect flees or when the victim is a minor.

DUI expungement is possible in many states after completing probation and waiting 3–7 years. California (PC 1203.4), Illinois, and others allow expungement of first-offense DUIs. Some states (e.g., Virginia, Massachusetts) do not permit DUI expungement. Commercial driver records are rarely eligible.

A first-offense DUI in most states carries fines of $500–$2,000, license suspension of 90 days to 1 year, possible jail time (24 hours to 6 months), and mandatory DUI education courses. The federal BAC limit is 0.08% for non-commercial drivers. Some states set lower limits — Utah is 0.05%.
