Fees depend on the number of defendants, volume of evidence, case stage, and need for motions, negotiations, or trial preparation. Ask how the attorney structures fees and whether representation includes detention hearings, trial, and sentencing. The Law Offices of Matthew Cohan offers a free confidential consultation to discuss the allegations and the legal work your case requires.

Release before trial is possible, but the judge considers flight risk, community safety, and proposed release conditions. Certain federal drug offenses carrying a maximum sentence of at least 10 years trigger a rebuttable presumption favoring detention when the court finds probable cause. Your lawyer presents evidence supporting release, including community ties, employment, and a suitable supervision plan.

Not always. One lawyer might handle both proceedings, depending on the issues and representation required. The cases follow different procedures, so your attorney should assess how statements and evidence in one affect the other. Matthew Cohan and his team coordinate criminal defense and restraining order matters to maintain a consistent strategy.
