Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York
I have been charged with one count of forging documents that allowed students to receive financial aid. This is a federal case and I need a lawyer to file as my new attorney by Monday, Aug 2. I have very limited funds, so I need a lawyer that will accept a down payment of less than $1,000 by Aug 2. Please inform if you are a private attorney, federal or criminal lawyer, that will accept less than $1,000 down payment. Thank you.

I am a former federal prosecutor and now handle criminal defense. It seems a little ambitious to try and get someone to accept your case for tomorrow with that small a retainer. If you can come up with a more substantial retainer, feel free to contact me.
You wouldn't want an attorney who would take a Federal case for a retainer of less than $1,000.
We have substantial experience handling these types of cases, however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination. We would consider what you are proposing as a down payment. You are welcome to contact us for a free consultation.
