California Legal Counsel

Helping good people move forward after a criminal charge.

Before you pay a lawyer thousands, find out what your case actually needs.

Traditional lawyers want thousands of dollars up front, without explaining where that money is going, or whether your case even needs full representation. Once you've paid them, it's hard to reach them or know exactly what you're getting. Sometimes it buys just one court date and a plea. No clarity. No transparency. No guarantees.

Take charge of your future, on your terms.

We do things differently at Circle Law. For a fraction of what traditional lawyers charge, we offer our Attorney Case Review & Action Plan, where we obtain your file and have an attorney review it. We know time is important to you, and guarantee to do this within 3 days of receiving your complete file. You'll then have a one-on-one with our experienced attorney who works WITH you to create an action plan that works for you and your family. We tell you whether your case actually needs a lawyer going forward, or whether it can be resolved with our guidance, at no additional cost.

The sooner you act, the more options you have.

Waiting can cost you options. In a criminal case, the earliest decisions often matter most, and some deadlines pass quickly. The sooner you know where you stand, the more choices you still have.

Traditional Lawyers

$7K – 50K
  • No Up-Front Pricing. You only learn the cost after you explain your case, so different clients can pay different amounts for the same work.
  • Unknown Fees. Your "retainer" is just the beginning; you pay for the attorney's time even if it doesn't produce results, and you can be asked to replenish it. They charge more for motions.
  • Spotty Communication. The #1 complaint about attorneys is lack of communication. Some show up late, miss appointments, and are hard to reach, leaving you unsure what's next.
