The initial consultation is very thorough.
It will take approximately two hours. Mr. Hinman’s consultation
fee is $250.00. This fee is not to hire or retain Mr. Hinman.
It does not obligate you to hire him, nor does it obligate him to take
your case.
If the arresting agency prepared an “incident report,” and if the report
is available, we will obtain the report before you come in. This report
usually consists of a narrative written by the arresting officer. We
will provide you with a copy of the report.
Prior to the consultation, you should prepare a “time line,”– a
chronological list of all of your activities on the day of the
incident. The time line should be as detailed as possible. Please list
anything you consumed that day, including prescription or
non-prescription drugs, legal or illegal drugs, and of course, alcohol.
Note the time each was consumed. You may also include your activities
the previous day if relevant. You will also need to fill out a lengthy
form giving us important information about your background and the facts
of the case.
The first half of the interview will consist of gathering information
from you. The second half will be devoted to advising you of
what you are facing,
what your options are, and
what, if anything, Mr. Hinman can do to help you.
If you have particular questions for Mr. Hinman, please feel free to ask
them during the interview. You may want to write questions down before
you come in.
