The amount of lawyer consulting fees incurred in criminal incidental civil litigation will vary depending on the actual situation of the specific case.
According to convention, for this type of consulting service, the lawyer's fee standards mainly include three categories: piece rate remuneration, proportionate fee based on the target amount, and hourly fee.
For special cases that do not involve property rights disputes or proxy appeal cases, the vast majority of lawyers choose to cooperate on a "pay per case" basis, and the cost of each such case is usually between RMB 1000 and RMB 10000; As for proxy appeal cases, the cost per order ranges from RMB 1000 to RMB 6000.
If the case enters the retrial process and has not represented in the first or second trial before, the fee should be charged according to the fee standards of various litigation cases; On the contrary, if the agent has acted in the first or second instance, the fee standard can be reduced by half accordingly.
As for cases involving property rights disputes, generally speaking, lawyers will adopt a fee based on the proportion of the subject matter.
The specific charging ratio needs to be implemented in accordance with relevant regulations.
The hourly fee applies to all legal affairs, and its specific cost will be calculated based on the combination of effective working hours and the lawyer's personal fee standards.
The calculation rules for effective working hours are uniformly formulated by the bar associations of each province and city, while the personal fee standards for lawyers are set by law firms themselves.
Law firms will establish personalized fee standards for each lawyer based on their professional abilities, years of practice, and social reputation in the industry.
The above charging methods are for reference only, and the actual cost needs to be evaluated based on various factors such as the specific situation of the case and the professional competence of the lawyer.
If you need to seek legal services in criminal incidental civil litigation, we strongly recommend that you directly contact your local law firm to understand the specific fee standards and case handling procedures in detail, in order to make wiser decisions.
