Setting of Fees

Our fees are usu­ally de­term­ined by lawyer’s com­pens­a­tion act (“Recht­san­walts­ver­gü­tungs­ge­setz”, “RVG”). They in­crease ac­cord­ing to the amount in dis­pute. The RVG fol­lows the concept, that legal fees shall com­pensate the lawyer’s ef­fort, but also pic­ture the im­port­ance to the cli­ent and the amount of ex­pos­ures of li­ab­il­ity. Un­for­tu­nately, it is not easy for some­body, who is not fa­mil­iar with legal fees ac­cord­ing to RVG, to cal­cu­late them by them­selves. And that’s why we kindly ask you to ask us in­stead. You will get all in­form­a­tion re­gard­ing any costs, which should be ex­pec­ted – free of charge, of course.

In par­tic­u­lar cases, the fees ac­cord­ing to RVG can be in­ap­pro­pri­ate. A very high amount in dis­pute can mask a very simple legal ques­tion. On the other hand, a rather small mat­ter can turn out to be very com­plex. In these kind of cases we make agree­ments as to our fees, so that ef­fort and con­sid­er­a­tion are in due pro­por­tion.

If you have a legal pro­tec­tion plan, we deal with the cor­res­pond­ence, for you can get pro­tec­tion as fast and as com­pre­hens­ive as pos­sible.
