What is the charging standard for divorce lawyers in Huangpu, Shanghai?
1. What is the charging standard for divorce lawyers in Huangpu, Shanghai? At present, lawyers in different places charge different fees for divorce cases. Lawyers in economically underdeveloped areas generally start from 500 yuan to 1000 yuan; In economically developed areas, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other big cities, lawyer's fees are relatively high. For example, in Beijing, some lawyers can take over a divorce case for two or three thousand yuan; Some lawyers can start with 1 10,000 yuan; In addition, according to the amount of the subject matter of the case, the lawyer's fee is also different. At present, there are generally two kinds of lawyers' fees: 1. First, there is a certain amount, and then a certain fee is added according to the disputed property exceeding a certain amount. For example, the lawyer's fee standard is 5000 yuan. In other words, no matter how small the amount of dispute in the case is, or even whether the same property is controversial, the starting fee is 5 thousand. If the disputed property exceeds a certain amount (generally100000 yuan), a certain percentage of fees will be charged for the excess. In short, the more property in the family, the higher the price that lawyers may charge. 2. Risk agency: pay a certain basic fee, and then determine a fee amount for returning the property amount. This kind of case is generally applicable to cases where the focus of dispute is the division of property, and the general difficulty of this kind of case lies in the evidence collection or execution of the same property. For example, one party doesn't know the other party's stocks or bank deposits, or the company's equity holdings, or the other party's property is scattered in various provinces, cities and even countries. Lawyers are needed to do a lot of investigation and evidence collection. In order to encourage the enthusiasm of lawyers, in the case of mutual agreement, the parties will pay a certain amount of start-up funds (generally around 5,000 yuan), and then the lawyers will collect relevant evidence, find the other party's property and do property preservation work, and be responsible for the execution of the case after the judgment. In the execution of the returned property, lawyers draw a certain percentage of remuneration, which is generally around 10-20% at present. The following main factors should be considered in the negotiation of lawyer service charges between law firms and clients: 1, working time spent; 2, the difficulty of legal affairs; 3. The number of lawyers required to handle legal affairs and the professional ability of lawyers; 4, the client's affordability and local social and economic development; 5. Risks and responsibilities that lawyers may bear; 6, the lawyer's social reputation and work level; 7. Other necessary expenses for handling cases. Second, do you have to hire a lawyer to sue for divorce? Hiring a lawyer is not a prerequisite for court acceptance. The parties can participate in the litigation process independently, apply for divorce, divide the property of husband and wife, and judge the custody of children. According to the provisions of China's Civil Procedure Law, the parties have the right to participate in litigation, including entrusting an agent, applying for withdrawal, collecting and providing evidence, arguing, requesting mediation, appealing and applying for execution. In other words, when suing for divorce, the parties enjoy autonomy and decide whether to hire a lawyer. If the parties have basic legal knowledge and language skills, the facts are clear and the evidence is simple, there is no need to hire a lawyer. Of course, if the couple involved in divorce have the same property, and the amount is huge, the difficulty index of obtaining evidence is large, or the other party has the possibility of hiding or transferring property, wants to win greater economic benefits and is confident of winning custody of the children, it is recommended to hire a lawyer and give professional guidance, so that the chances of winning the case are greater. Third, the principle of divorce property division 1. Adhere to the principle of equality between men and women: when dividing the same property, both parties have equal rights, and one party may not give less or less property because of low economic income and no economic income. Second, adhere to the principle of taking care of children and women's interests: at present, there is still a certain gap between women's economic conditions and men's. In the division of property, the interests of women and children should be properly taken care of, and the parent who raises minor children should be given more property. Third, the principle of caring for the innocent party: if one party commits domestic violence and maltreats or abandons family members because of bigamy or cohabitation with others, the innocent party has the right to claim damages. But if you are wrong, it doesn't mean that you will "go out innocently". Fourth, the principle of fairness: when divorcing, the economic interests of both husband and wife should be liquidated, for example, the contribution of both husband and wife to housework and raising children, the decline of one's living standard after divorce, and the proper arrangements for changing houses after divorce. Fifth, respect the wishes of the parties, and the principle that property agreement takes precedence over law: citizens have the right to dispose of their own property, and they can deal with the property problems of both parties in various forms. In today's society, more and more young couples in China will choose to divorce because of some trivial matters, so divorce will also involve the distribution of marital property and the custody of children. If there is any dispute over the above aspects, the parties can also solve it through legal channels such as litigation. Here, I also remind everyone to try to solve it through consultation.
