Costs
During the first consultation, we will always inform you of the likely legal costs of your case. The amounts of our legal fees are regulated by law. These differ greatly depending on which field of law.
Initial Consultation
For the initial consultation, we usually charge between €90.00 and €190.00 (plus VAT). Please feel enquire about this via phone. If you have legal insurance, the costs may be covered. There are various avenues for people with low incomes to get assistance with legal fees.
Low-Income Assistance
For a first consultation, you can apply for a consulting assistance certificate at the local court of your legally registered address. Please first check the requirements yourself and obtain a so-called “Beratungshilfeschein” from the local district court before the first consultation. In addition, we charge a fee of €15.00 for the consultation (RVG VV 2500):
For representation in court, you have the option of applying for legal aid for court and procedural costs.
If you have any questions about the forms, please contact one of the listed counseling centers.
