How much would a lawyer in NJ charge to defend 2 counts of petty harassment?
Answers:
Ordinarily this type of defense would be handled on an hourly basis, with you paying a set fee per hour plus costs. Some attorneys may offer a flat fee, if the case is contained in scope and the likelihood of a plea bargain is strong.
What the hourly fee would be depends on the experience level of the attorney you retain. Your local bar association should be able to guide you to an extent, as can sites like lawguru.com and findlaw.com
Is this a senior partner in a major firm or a junior associate that passed the bar exam last week? Will the trial take an hour of 6 months? How much does a house cost in your state?
OK, the third question is not relevant. It IS about as easy to answer accurately.
If this is being tried in municipal court, you probably can get a lawyer for a fixed fee up front. It might be in the $2-3,000 range.
