It depends on what kind of charging mode is negotiated with the lawyer when entrusting a lawyer. In some cases, if you lose the lawsuit, you don't have to pay the lawyer's fee. Then let's look at the way lawyers charge.
First, time charges.
This is calculated according to the effective working time consumed by lawyers in providing legal services, and the reasonable hourly charging standard is formulated within the guidance of local price bureau and lawyers association.
Charge by the hour is common in criminal lawyer meetings, and the charge for entrusting a criminal lawyer for a single meeting is generally around 1500 yuan ~ 3,000 yuan. A perfect criminal defense team will also provide meeting prices for different lawyers.
Second, piece rate.
Piece-by-piece charge is almost equivalent to one-price charge. Lawyers agree with clients on the charging method of lawyer's service fee according to the difficulty of the case and the time spent by lawyers.
Usually, the lawyer's fee is paid in one lump sum after the agency formalities are completed. No matter whether the final lawsuit is won or lost, the lawyer's fee will not be refunded.
Piece-by-piece charging should also pay attention to which service links are included in the fee and whether they include execution links. In some cases, there is a separate charge for execution.
In addition, when entrusting a criminal lawyer, we should pay attention to whether the fee includes three stages: investigation, prosecution and court decision, or choose to charge by stages.
The above needs to be understood clearly before entrustment.
Third, charge according to the proportion of the target amount.
This is based on the amount involved in the case litigation request, and the legal service fee is charged according to a certain proportion. For example, Mr. Zhang from Guangdong Guanghan Law Firm generally charges 5000-8000 yuan for a sales contract case with a bid of 65438+ 10,000 yuan.
