Is there a charge for the second trial after the first trial?

Whether it is necessary to pay the lawyer's fee again if the case is won in the first instance and the second instance depends on the situation:

1. If the entrustment contract stipulates that there is no need to pay legal fees for the second trial, there is no need to pay legal fees;

2. If there is no agreement in the entrustment contract or payment is required, the parties need to pay the lawyer's fees in accordance with the agreement and relevant laws. For cases sent back for retrial after the second trial, the agency fee is charged at half of the second trial fee, and other handling fees remain unchanged.

What's the charging standard for lawyer's fees?

1. Time-based charging standard: 200-3,000 yuan/hour;

2, according to the piece rate, the criminal investigation stage, 2000-6000 yuan/piece;

3, for civil and administrative litigation that does not involve property, 3000-20000 yuan/piece.

To sum up, if the lawyer of the second instance still charges after the judgment of the first instance, the collection of lawyer's fees shall be subject to the agency contract signed by the parties and the lawyer through consultation. If there is no special agreement, the second trial procedure needs to pay another lawyer's fee. When the parties file an appeal and the case enters the second trial stage, the parties need to re-sign the contract with the lawyer and pay the lawyer's fee.
