attorney's fees

Read a random definition: high–low agreement

A quick definition of attorney's fees:

Attorney's fees refer to the amount of money a client pays to their lawyer for the legal services provided. This can be a fixed amount, an hourly rate, or a percentage of any settlement or award received. It is important to understand the fee structure before hiring a lawyer to avoid any surprises later on.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Attorney's fees refer to the amount charged by a lawyer for the services provided to a client. This can be in the form of an hourly fee, a flat fee, or a contingent fee.

Example: If a lawyer charges $200 per hour and works for 5 hours on a case, the attorney's fees would be $1000.

Explanation: This example illustrates how attorney's fees are calculated based on the hourly rate charged by the lawyer and the number of hours worked on a case.

Example: A lawyer may charge a flat fee of $5000 for handling a divorce case from start to finish.

Explanation: This example shows how attorney's fees can also be charged as a flat fee for handling a specific type of case, such as a divorce case.

Example: In a contingent fee arrangement, the lawyer only gets paid if the client wins the case. The fee is usually a percentage of the amount awarded to the client.

Explanation: This example demonstrates how attorney's fees can be contingent on the outcome of the case, with the lawyer only receiving payment if the client is successful in their legal matter.
