Do I have to pay a lawyer's fee for the second trial?

Legal analysis: for cases that have been represented in the first instance, the agency fee is charged at half of the first instance fee, and other handling fees remain unchanged. If you do not represent a case of first instance but only a case of second instance, the agency fee will be charged according to the standard of first instance, and other handling fees will remain unchanged. 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.
