At present, there are two ways to collect legal fees:
1, regular charge
Conventional charges refer to the level of litigation procedures, which is a "second instance and final adjudication" system, that is, litigation is divided into two stages: first instance and second instance. If one party refuses to accept the judgment or ruling of the first instance, it may file a second instance, and the judgment of the second instance is final. Generally, no lawsuit can be filed. 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
Lump-sum charge refers to taking charge of the case to the end after charging the fee, that is, charging the fee only once, and being responsible for the first trial, second trial and execution. The charging standard is appropriately raised on the basis of the first-instance charge in the conventional charging.
