Costs
Before accepting a mandate, we provide a detailed cost projection. If you have legal insurance, we file your case with your insurance company and obtain the relevant confirmation of cover.
Initial consultation:
If you are not sure whether your case is worth mandating an attorney, or if you have general legal questions, we generally recommend an initial consultation session. After you describe your legal issue, we can provide advice and/or information. We advise you on possible further steps and give transparent information on potential costs. Initial consultation sessions normally do not take longer than one hour, and the related costs are capped for consumers. Depending on the individual case and agreement, initial consultation fees may also be offset against later fees.
Commissioning:
If mandated, we calculate legal fees based on appropriate hourly rates or based on the German Lawyer’s Compensation Act (RVG), depending on the individual case and agreement. If based on RVG, legal fees depend on the respective value in dispute, meaning the assessed value of the disputed matter (e.g. the sought payment amount in an action for payment). Flat fees can also be arranged.
