There is no uniform standard for charging methods, which are usually influenced by many factors. Here are some possible billing methods:
Charge by the hour: lawyers can charge by the hour. This charging method is usually suitable for simple cases, and lawyers only need to spend a small amount of time defending.
Staged charging: lawyers can charge according to different stages of the case. For example, lawyers can charge fees for the investigation stage, prosecution stage and trial stage of a case.
Charge according to the result: lawyers can charge according to the result of the case. If the lawyer successfully defends the defendant and gets a suspended sentence, then the lawyer may charge a higher fee.
Fixed fee: A lawyer can negotiate a fixed fee with the defendant, regardless of the outcome of the case. This charging method is usually suitable for simple cases, and there is a certain trust relationship between the defendant and the lawyer.
It should be noted that the lawyer's fees should be reasonable and he should fully communicate and negotiate with the defendant. At the same time, the lawyer should inform the defendant of the charging method and standard before representing the case and sign a written contract.
To sum up:
There is no uniform standard for the charging method of probation defense lawyers, which is usually influenced by many factors. Lawyers should collect fees in accordance with the principles of rationality, fairness, honesty and credibility, and should fully communicate and negotiate with the defendant.

"At the same time, Article 54 also stipulates:" The lawyer's service fee shall be determined by the law firm and the client through consultation according to the service content, service quality, service difficulty, service time and other factors. "Therefore, lawyers should follow the law when charging fees, fully communicate and negotiate with the defendant, and sign a written contract.
