1. Is there a charge for consulting a lawyer in a law firm?
Whether to charge depends on the actual situation. There are paid consultations and free consultations. If the case is simple, there are many free consultations. If the case is complicated, professionals usually have to pay.
There are differences in lawyer fees charged by different lawyers in different regions, which should be determined by both parties through consultation.
Measures for the Administration of Lawyers' Service Fees Article 10 Lawyers' service fees can be charged according to different service contents, such as piecework fees, fees in proportion to bid amount, hourly fees, risk agency fees, etc.
Article 11 Piece-by-piece charging is a charging method in which law firms provide legal advice, handle legal affairs or produce legal documents for clients, and collect service remuneration according to the service quantity.
Piece rate is generally applicable to legal affairs that do not involve property relations.
Second, what are the ways for lawyers to charge?
1, regular charge
Conventional charges refer to the level of litigation procedures, that is, the system of "second instance and final adjudication", that is, litigation is divided into two stages: first instance and second instance. After the judgment or ruling of the first instance, if one party refuses to accept it, it may file a second instance, which is final and generally cannot file a lawsuit. But in reality, there is an execution procedure after the judgment, that is, after the judgment, the other party fails to perform the contents determined in the judgment, and the other party applies to the court for compulsory execution of the other party's property (that is, the usual seizure and seizure of property) in order to realize the contents of the judgment. Correspondingly, the lawyer's fee also has three stages: the first trial fee, the second trial fee and the execution fee.
2. One-time expenses
All-inclusive means that after charging fees, you will be responsible for the case to the end, that is, you will only be charged once, and you will be responsible for the first trial, the second trial and the execution. The charging standard is appropriately raised on the basis of the first-instance charge in the conventional charging.
3. Risk cost
Risk charge means that only a small amount of fees are charged before the execution of judgment, mediation and settlement, and higher fees are charged after winning the case or executing the payment. The charging standard is about 2000- 10000 in the upfront cost, and 10-30% after winning the case.
To sum up, if you are not clear about the case, you can choose to consult a lawyer to help yourself. If your case is complicated and professional, you usually need to pay the consulting fee. If the case is relatively simple, you can negotiate with the lawyer whether you need to pay the fee. So different situations will be handled differently.
