Can a lawyer charge a second fee for a probation sentence vs a prison sentence?

 

[army judge]

Can a lawyer charge a second fee for a probation sentence vs a prison sentence?

Are you asking about a lawyer you hired to represent you initially?

Or, are you asking about a lawyer who says pay me $10,000, I'll get you probation.
Pay me $500, all I can say is I'll try to get you 9 years in prison instead of 10.


If its the 2nd example, run, run away very fast.

If its the first example, yes.

Lawyers are FREE to set their fees with whatever amount the traffic allows.
In fact, I could charge you $5,000 to draft a will, and your mother $50 for the same service.
Lawyers may be many things.
They ALL have the potential to be independent owner operators, too.
