1. Is there a separate charge for lawyers in litigation cases?
The fees for finding a lawyer in the first instance and the second instance are generally charged separately. The first trial and the second trial are two independent procedures, so the lawyer's fees are charged separately. Moreover, the calculation method and related charging contents of each stage are different, and both parties need to negotiate to decide the amount to be charged and the payment method. It is very simple for both parties to sign the entrustment agreement to avoid unnecessary verbal disputes.
2. What are the specific standards for collecting lawyer's fees in first instance and second instance?
(1) The charging standard for criminal cases is piecework charging at all stages of handling cases.
1. In the investigation stage, the charge for each piece is 2000- 10000 yuan.
2. In the trial and prosecution stage, the charge for each piece is 2000- 10000 yuan.
3, the preliminary stage, each charge 4000-30000 yuan.
4. The above charging standards are not limited.
(2) In cases of second instance, death penalty review, retrial, appeal and criminal self-knowledge, lawyers' service fees shall be charged according to the charging standards in the first instance.
(three) the law firm represents multiple stages of a case, and reduces the fees as appropriate from the second stage.
(4) If the victim files a criminal incidental civil action case, the lawyer's service fee shall be charged according to the charging standard of civil action case.
(5) If a criminal suspect or defendant is involved in several crimes or criminal facts at the same time, he may be punished for several crimes according to the crimes or criminal facts involved.
It is conducive to the defense of lawyers in second instance.
In addition to better sorting out the case for the parties, there is also experience and adaptability in handling cases that the general defender does not have.
Third, what are the precautions for hiring a defense lawyer in the second instance?
1, lawyers are proficient in laws and regulations, including substantive law and procedural law, and have the ability to investigate cases. Not only that, lawyers have developed the habit of thinking from a legal point of view, and can properly link the specific cases in front of them with legal norms, put forward some objective and convincing claims through legal reasoning, and prompt them to the court in time.
2. On the basis of his knowledge of laws and regulations and legal reasoning ability, lawyers can also organize arguments and evidence materials that are beneficial to clients according to specific cases, and argue in a logical and complete way, which is not necessarily directly related to the beliefs or likes and dislikes held by lawyers.
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.
