What is a breakdown of my legal fees?
Legal fees are calculated differently depending upon the lawyer. Some lawyers charge on an hourly basis, while others charge what are known as “block fees”. These are fixed amounts that are based on the lawyer’s reputation, their experience, and the time a lawyer will spend dealing with your matter. Furthermore, lawyers also charge “disbursement fees”, which are simply any expenses the lawyer has incurred while dealing with your case. Usually, a lawyer will let you know about their fees and whether or not you agree with them before they start any work on your case.
