    Bad news for you: those are the affordable attorneys.

    You need to come up with that amount as a retainer and have them bill their hourly rate against it. If there's anything left, you get it back.

    But at those prices, that's about 10 hours of work. Even a misdemeanor case can chew up that time before it's over.
