there are two ways to pay the lawyer's fee. One is to pay the lawyer when signing the contract, and pay in proportion. All localities have formulated detailed methods for charging lawyers. The other is to pay after the proceedings, which is a risk agent and has a higher charging standard.
The process of hiring a lawyer:
1. Go through the entrustment formalities with the law firm and sign the entrustment contract. Handling entrustment procedures with law firms mainly means signing entrustment contracts to clarify the rights and obligations between the parties and the law firms.
2. sign a power of attorney with the appointed lawyer. The power of attorney is mainly to clarify the agency authority, and this document is submitted to the judicial department. The agency right includes general agency right and special authorization agency right. The so-called general agency only represents general litigation rights, such as the right to sue, the right to appeal, the right to apply for withdrawal, the right to provide evidence, the right to debate and so on.
3. Pay the lawyer's fee. When hiring a lawyer, the parties must pay a certain amount of lawyer's fees. Generally speaking, according to the provisions of the Trial Measures for Lawyers' Fees, law firms charge fees to the parties within the prescribed range according to the complexity of the business undertaken, the length of time required, the number of litigation objects and other actual conditions.
