PAYMENT PLANS AND OPTIONS

Disclaimer: The Zuckerman Law Firm makes no promises or guarantees regarding the firm’s willingness to offer a payment plan for representation. Eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis, including, but not limited to the following factors: your employment status, the phase of prosecution, the scheduled date of your next court appearance, the severity of the charges, your ability to pay the retainer over a proposed period of time, the ability to have payments processed automatically or according to a defined schedule, and the likelihood of the matter proceeding to trial in the future. 

We DO NOT accept payment plans on the following types of matters: Violent felony cases including Robbery and Aggravated Assault, Sexual Assault cases, Bail and Detainer Motions, Jury or Non-Jury Trials, and any case that is past the Formal Arraignment phase where we did not represent the client for his or her preliminary hearing. Anyone contacting our firm should have a realistic sense of his or her ability to hire a private attorney, and should strongly consider applying for a public defender if he or she cannot afford to hire a private attorney.

When it comes to hiring a criminal defense lawyer in Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania, cost can be a limiting factor. Our firm has taken on cases for those who earn too much to qualify for a public defender, but don't have much leftover when bills are paid. 

At the Zuckerman Law Firm, we strive to provide fair pricing to clients based upon the nature of the charges and anticipated work involved. While we make no promises regarding your eligibility for a payment plan, we have worked with clients on certain types of cases on payment plans, where a percentage of the fees are due up front and the remaining balance to be paid by certain deadlines.

We accept cash and checks, along with Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. To determine if you qualify for a payment plan, please contact the Zuckerman Law Firm right away at 412-447-5580 for a free consultation.
