First, how to charge lawyers for bail pending trial, and the standard of lawyer fees.
(1) Providing legal advice, acting as an agent to appeal, accuse and apply for bail pending trial in the investigation stage, 1500- 10000 yuan/piece; Review and prosecution stage 2000- 10000 yuan/piece; 3,000-30,000 yuan/piece in the preliminary examination stage;
(2) Acting for criminal, civil and administrative litigation cases and state compensation cases, as well as acting for various litigation cases, and charging 200-3000 yuan/hour.
Second, do I have to pay a lawyer's fee if I lose the lawsuit?
1. Generally speaking, unless there is a consensus or legal aid case, lawyers will charge fees. Because the lawyer's professional ethics agreement can't cover litigation, and lawyers provide legal services rather than results, it can't and can't be completely linked to the final results.
2. In addition, if the law allows risk agency, fees can be negotiated after winning the case or meeting the requirements of the parties. If the lawsuit is lost, the lawyer will not get the lawyer's fee. This means that lawyers have to take risks with their clients to a certain extent, and generally this fee will be higher than the normal standard. At present, in practice, it is more "semi-risk agency", that is, some basic agency fees need to be paid first, and this part will not be refunded regardless of the outcome of the case.
Third, whether it is necessary to hire a lawyer in litigation and the benefits of hiring a lawyer.
If you disagree with the other party on 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 ask a lawyer 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.
