The choice of a law firm depends on the expertise and reputation of its lawyers – but transparent costs are just as important. At CDR Legal, we offer standard fee models and tailored advice so that you have clarity about potential costs from ver beginning. It is important to us that you understand exactly which costs may arise in different cases. That’s why we discuss them openly with you at an early stage and obtain your approval before providing any services. This approach allows you to make informed decisions and focus fully on your legal matters.
Fee Schedule
Full Cost Transparency Before Every Service
With us, you pay nothing that has not been discussed in detail
and agreed with you beforehand. Our law firm bases ist cost
calculation on the statutory scale of fees, the German Lawyers’
Fees Act (RVG). This model guarantees that the costs of our
legal services are legally regulated and fully transparent to
you as our client. The calculation is based on the value of the
subject matter of the dispute, providing a clear and reliable
cost structure.
Hourly Rate
Flexibility and Adaptation to Your Needs
We also offer the option of charging for our legal services on
an hourly basis. This provides the necessary flexibility,
particularly in complex legal matters and unclear issues. We
will also inform you promptly of any costs incurred.
The hourly rate is agreed with you in advance and takes into
account the scope and complexity of your matter. We strive to
always act in the best interests of our clients and ensure that
you are well advised.
Example If your inheritance case presents a complex initial
situation, we will explain this during the free initial
meeting and outline the next steps. The lawyer’s fees for
this advice amount to €150. We then agree on a binding
hourly rate, if necessary, in accordance with the statutory
scale of fees. Expenses are billed at the end of each month,
so that you always have full cost transparency.
Legal Expenses Insurance
Assumption of Costs and Legal Certainty
An important aspect when considering costs is the possibility
that your legal expenses insurance will cover some or all of the
lawyer’s fees. We assist you in communicating with your
insurance company and submit the coverage on your behalf. There
are no costs for you.
Example In the case of online banking fraud with a loss of €7,000,
the legal costs incl. the court date, amounted to € 1,719
plus € 530.74 in a settlement with the bank. These costs
will be covered by your legal expenses insurance, if
available, so that you will not incur any personal
expenses.
