Clear about what it costs.
Before we start, you get an engagement letter with the rate. On a low income or have legal expenses insurance? We'll look at the options together.
Fees
How we charge
Which option fits depends on your case. We always agree it with you beforehand.
Hourly rate
You pay for the time we spend on your case. You get a monthly overview of the hours.
Fixed price
For a clearly defined job, like reviewing a contract or a settlement agreement.
Legal aid
On a low income with few savings, the government pays part of the cost. You pay a personal contribution.
Demo: a real firm lists its hourly rate and fixed prices here, including VAT.
- Subsidised legal aid (a 'toevoeging') is applied for with us through the Legal Aid Board. Whether you qualify depends on your income and savings.
- Have legal expenses insurance? Contact your insurer first. In a court case you can usually choose your own lawyer.
- Court costs, such as the court fee, come on top of our fee. We tell you about them in advance.
- For free initial legal advice you can also contact the Juridisch Loket (Legal Services Counter).
