It is important for you to be able to estimate the legal fees that a legal representation will cost. This is always dependent on the amount of work that your case will require, the difficulty and the relevance of the case. It is not always possible to foresee this exactly in the beginning.
In general, I am charging the legally fixed fees of the German Code on Attorney’s Compensation (Rechtsanwaltsvergütungsgesetz, RVG). This code foresees a range of fees for every procedure that can and have to be charged in case nothing else is agreed upon.
In some cases, it is foreseeable that the amount of work will surpass these legally fixed fees. In such a case I will offer a separate contract in the beginning of the representation, that would fix an adequate legal fee for your specific case.
For a first consultation I am usually charging 150 €. For this, I am taking the time to analyse your case and offer a legal opinion. In the end it could well be that you are able to manage your case on your own. However, if you hire my services after a first consultation, the fees for this consultation already count towards the total payment.
I am determined to realise legal representation for everyone. In case you have very little money, I am offering that you can pay the total fees in instalments and I will take this into account when calculating the total fees. In a court case, you might want to consider applying for state aid. If you are in need of financial assistance and the case has sufficient chances of success, the state will upfront your legal fees and you will only have to pay this back once you earn a sufficient amount of money.
