Frequently asked questions
Can a Florida or Miami lawyer take over my case right away?
First give us the location, court, docket number and the papers you have. The handling attorney's license and court admission are verified before any engagement; the scope, fees and whether the case is accepted are decided by the attorney and set in the engagement agreement.
A family member was arrested in Florida. Can I contact you in Chinese first?
Yes. Tell us what you know: where the person is held, the charge, bail status, the court and the next court date. Contacting us does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship.
What is the difference between a state court case and a federal investigation?
Check the court or agency named on the papers first. Florida state criminal cases and federal investigations or federal court cases can follow different procedures and handling arrangements, so the actual documents decide.
