1. How much does legal consultation generally cost? Legal consultation generally costs several hundred to several thousand yuan. It depends on the situation, some don't need it, some do. For example, if you have the intention to entrust but do not have an entrustment, there is generally no consultation fee. Judging from the actual situation, except for some law firms in first- and second-tier cities in China that unexpectedly charge consulting fees, the vast majority of domestic law firms do not charge any fees for interviews. In formal consultations, law firms generally charge based on consultation time, but the specifics will depend on the circumstances of the case. Smaller law firms charge lower fees, such as labor contracts, marriages, simple civil cases, etc., and can give you answers quickly, generally ranging from 50 yuan to several hundred yuan. If it is a complex case, such as property disputes involving divorce proceedings, sales disputes, etc., the law firm will provide you with consultation as needed and recommend that you entrust a law firm to handle the case. In such cases, you will basically have to pay attorney fees. , and attorney fees are charged according to the subject matter of the lawsuit, that is, the parties charge based on the disputed subject matter of the case. This is looking at the case. Lawyers often accept various consultations from clients. For questions that can be answered in one or two sentences, lawyers generally do not take the initiative to charge consultation fees from clients.
2. What are the regulations on lawyer consultation fees? 1. Legal consultation is one of the businesses of a lawyer. Lawyer consultation and lawyer representation are all about lawyers using their professional knowledge and practical experience to solve problems for clients. There is essentially no difference. There are also ways to charge lawyers, and the standards for lawyers charging consulting fees vary from place to place. For example, according to the "Sichuan Province Lawyer Legal Service Fees Industry Guidance Standards (Trial)", the minimum fee for legal consultation and simple contract modification is not less than 500 yuan, but the consulting fees charged by ordinary lawyers are far lower than this standard. 2. Lawyers require huge investment in the early stage to provide legal services. Generally, the cost of obtaining a professional qualification is around 100,000 yuan, and the cost of accumulating extensive experience is tens of thousands of yuan. Annual continuing education and membership fees cost several thousand yuan, and taxes are also paid. 3. In addition to early investment and experience accumulation, consulting activities also require a lot of mental work, data review, analysis and demonstration, which takes up a lot of time and is not easy. 4. If there is no charge, consultations will be rampant. Clients will regularly consult lawyers for trivial matters in the neighborhood, conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and other issues that should not be subject to the law. Some clients will frequently change lawyers because they are dissatisfied with the consultations, and so on. This results in a huge waste of lawyer time. In our country, if you hire a lawyer to litigate, you will definitely need to pay lawyer fees, which the parties must pay. However, legal knowledge consultation before going through specific entrustment procedures needs to be based on the specific circumstances.
