The standard of lawyer's fees is based on the guiding price set by the state, and can fluctuate slightly according to the difficulty of the case and the different economic development in different places. However, when looking for a lawyer, it must be noted that those lawyers whose fees are much higher than the standard or far below the standard cannot choose. Both of them are easy to be deceived.

When the first trial is not over, the lawyer only calculates the lawyer's fee at the first trial stage. Whether it is necessary to pay the lawyer's fee again in the second instance after the judgment of the first instance is completed needs to be determined through consultation according to the entrustment contract signed by the parties and lawyers. If the entrustment contract stipulates that the second trial does not need to pay legal fees, it does not need to pay legal fees. However, if there is no agreement or agreement in the entrustment contract, the parties need to pay legal fees according to the agreement and relevant laws and regulations.
