HOW WE DETERMINE OUR FEE
Criminal defense is the only type of law that we practice. We are experienced criminal trial and criminal appellate attorneys. We are recognized for our respective skills by other lawyers, prosecutors and judges alike. Prosecutors know that we will make any legal challenge that presents itself in a case and they also know that we will go to trial when it is needed. Sometimes our reputation alone can obtain a very good result on our first appearance but we never count on that. We are committed to providing the best representation we can and we set our fees accordingly. As part of that commitment, we will not ask another attorney to substitute for us. In our firm, you hire either Mary M. McMahon or an associate that has been personally trained by Mary M. McMahon to represent you in the same aggressive and thorough manner.
Before we quote a fee, we will interview you in order to estimate the amount of work your case will take. We know the approximate amount of time it will take to handle different types of cases but the amount charged will vary from case to case depending on several factors that we take into consideration. Some of these factors are: previous criminal record, whether you are on probation or parole, type of crime, level of offense, complexity of the case, motions that may need to be made, prosecuting agency, co-defendants, possibility of trial, and the evidence against you.

We will then tell you what our fee is to represent you on this matter. Sometimes a case will consume a lot more time than we expected but we will put in that time. When we agree to represent you, we are making a commitment to do whatever it takes no matter what fee we have agreed upon and to give you the best legal representation we can.
