Fees vary by case complexity and attorney experience. In Arkansas, hourly rates typically range from $150 to $350+, with flat fees common for misdemeanors or first-time offenses.
What is the difference between a criminal lawyer and a defense attorney?
The terms are often used interchangeably. A criminal lawyer focuses on criminal law, and a defense attorney specifically represents individuals accused of crimes.
When should I hire a criminal defense attorney?
As early as possible—even before charges are filed. Early legal intervention can protect your rights and sometimes prevent charges altogether.
