They also provide an estimate of the time likely to be devoted to studying and processing the case. This rate may vary within the same law firm depending on the cases being handled. A higher hourly rate may be agreed upon for cases that warrant it.
Fixed fee
The lawyers and their clients agree on fixed and final fees.
The services covered by these fees must be precisely specified.
