Advokaten är inte en public defender. Däremot är hon något av en pudding. Hade man inte vetat att hon var advokat hade man gissat på hemmafruinfluencer, komplett med plasttuttar och ankläppar. Faktiskt lite on brand för Olof.

Frågade ChatGPT vad en sån advokat kan tänkas kosta. Om man får tro den så har Olof hostat upp från 750 000 kronor och uppåt. Hur han nu fått tag i de pengarna.
In California, the **typical hourly rate** for a **private criminal defense attorney handling a federal case** can range widely depending on experience, case complexity, and reputation—but here are the ballpark figures:
---
### ⚖️ **Typical Hourly Rates**
| Attorney Type | Hourly Rate |
| -------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------- |
| Junior or less experienced | \$200–\$400/hour |
| Mid-level (5–15 yrs experience, federal case experience) | \$400–\$750/hour |
| Top-tier, well-known federal defense specialist | \$750–\$1,200+/hour |
---
### 💼 **Flat Fees and Case-Based Pricing**
In some federal criminal cases (especially white-collar or drug conspiracy), attorneys may prefer:
* **Flat fees** (e.g., \$50,000–\$250,000+) for handling pre-trial and trial
* **Retainers**: Upfront payments ranging from **\$25,000–\$100,000+**, replenished as the case proceeds
---
### 🧾 Factors That Affect Cost:
* **Complexity**: Multi-defendant conspiracy or fraud cases cost more than simple possession charges
* **Trial vs. plea**: A case that goes to trial costs significantly more
* **District**: Rates may be higher in LA/SF than in smaller federal districts
* **Law firm size**: Solo practitioners are usually cheaper than boutique or large firms
