First, how much is it to ask a lawyer to do criminal defense, and what is the lawyer's charging standard?
The fees will fluctuate greatly due to different cases handled and lawyers' qualifications, and each province also has its own lawyer fees.
You can refer to the following charging standards:
(1) investigation stage: 6000 yuan-18000 yuan;
(2) Review and prosecution stage: 6000-30000 RMB;
(3) Probation period: 8,000-50,000 RMB;
(4) Acting for criminal private prosecution: 6,000 yuan to 60,000 yuan;
(five) involving national security crimes, triad-related crimes, drug crimes and other major difficult cases, the agency fee is charged at twice the above standard.
2. What are the ways to collect legal fees?
1. According to different service contents and different service methods, the lawyer's service fee can be fixed, piecework, proportional to the winning amount, timed and risk agent. Used alone or in combination.
2. If the legal service fee is fixed, the client and the law firm shall negotiate to determine the specific fee amount according to the nature of the business, the target amount, the major difficulty and the practice risk, and determine it in the entrustment contract.
3. If the legal service fee is charged by piece, the client and the law firm shall determine the amount of the fee according to the size of the subject matter of the case and a certain rate. It is suitable for the lawyer business with simple business and small target amount.
4. If the legal service fee is charged according to the proportion of the subject matter of the case, the client and the law firm shall calculate the legal service fee by stages according to the subject matter of the case.
5. If the legal service fee is charged by time, the client and the law firm shall negotiate and determine the hourly charging standard according to the business nature, target amount, major difficulty, practice risk, law firm cost, lawyer's legal service level and other factors.
Third, whether it is necessary to hire a lawyer in litigation and the benefits of hiring a lawyer.
1. If the case is simple and the evidence is sufficient, and you have a certain language ability, you can search and understand laws and regulations, then you don't need to hire a lawyer. For example, private lending, IOUs, and bank running water are controversial. The two sides have no dispute about the fact of lending. The plaintiff has a certain language ability and is confident to appear in court. In this case, lawyers cannot be invited to appear in court.
However, it should be noted that ordinary people had better consult their lawyers first, entrust lawyers to draft a standard indictment and evidence list to finalize the litigation ideas and prosecute according to the lawyers' litigation ideas. As long as lawyers are reliable and respond according to the litigation ideas involved by lawyers, there is basically no big problem.
2. However, if you and the other party have differences in the facts of the case, and the evidence is confusing, or the legal issues are difficult, or the outcome of the case has a great impact on you, you should still invite lawyers to participate in the whole process. In civil disputes, lawyers can usually do two things for you:
(1) Run errands to handle chores. For example, filing a case, paying and refunding fees, sending and receiving court materials, communicating with clerks and presiding judges, mediating, appearing in court, etc.
(2) Help you answer questions, reduce the risk of losing and improve the probability of winning. For example, you can ask a lawyer to analyze and suggest what you can say, what you can do, what you can't say, and whether you want to preserve notarization in advance. A lawyer can help you write a list of evidence of the complaint and defense, argue with the other party in court, state your views to the judge, and then negotiate and mediate with the other party.
In a word, the role of a serious lawyer is to save time and energy, improve efficiency and protect legitimate rights and interests to the maximum extent.
