Legal fees
Flexibility & Transparency
Lawyers are free to agree hourly rates with their clients. In practice, the lawyer will take into account the complexity of the case and the likely duration of the proceedings. In all cases, the lawyer will, as far as possible, estimate the foreseeable amount of the fees in the light of your dispute.
However, payment arrangements, such as monthly instalments, are possible.
If you are in a difficult financial situation, you can always apply for legal aid from the State, which will pay the lawyer's fees for court proceedings if you meet the conditions, particularly if you have a low income. In this case, it is advisable to fill in one of the application forms below (depending on the area of law) in advance and to collect the required documents so that you can give them to the lawyer at the first meeting for the rest of the procedure. The fixed price for the legal consultation remains payable to the lawyer.

- Application form for legal aid in civil or administrative matters (French)
- Application form for legal assistance in criminal matters for the victim of an offence (French)

Finally, if you have legal expenses insurance, this may cover not only the lawyer's fees but also the legal costs. You should contact your insurance company directly for more information. All these aspects will be discussed with the lawyer before any engagement begins.
If all you require is a simple written legal opinion, please do not hesitate to contact us by e-mail with your question and request a free quote. You are free to refuse without giving any reasons.
