Claim for lending money/real estate
Concerning an application of monetary claim for lending money, account receivable, damages due to a motor vehicle accident, medical malpractice, mental suffering, etc., attorney's fee depends on the amount of claim. Attorney's fee also depends on the amount of real estate value, when it comes to a claim regarding real estate. The baseline for the attorney's fee is similar to monetary claim.
However, we may charge an additional fee on the amount listed below for a case which is complex, difficult to calculate damages, or when we need to associate outside counsel. If we need to charge an additional fee, we confer with the client to determine the additional amount before we undertake a case.
