How can I find cheap lawyer

Question: How can I find cheap lawyers ?

Quick Answer: You can not find cheap lawyer.

Hiring a lawyer is probably going to cost you a lot. Most lawyers charge by the hour and rates may vary from USD 100-USD 300 per hour. It depends on a variety of factors like

• The lawyer’s experience and specialization
• The extent of your case
• Where the case is to be fought
   

Most lawyers do not negotiate on fees. There is no cheap lawyer but, here are some hints you can keep your legal costs down:

1. Think about using a lawyer who works for a smaller firm than a large one. New law firms and smaller firms may charge you less than an established lawyer.
2. Sometimes even big law firms and lawyers take on cases for less than their standard rates if it will benefit them in some way. Keep this in mind when talking about the fees.
3. Many law firms offer you a better rate if the volume of work is large. Get legal representation for your business and family from the same firm.
4. Make detailed notes and prepare a file for the lawyer with details such as names, addresses, time of events and so on. This way you will not waste time meeting with the lawyer. This is especially important if your lawyer charges hourly fees.
5. Request regular bills from the lawyer. Keep track of the time and costs yourself.
6. Don’t waste the lawyer’s time on too many phone calls. Keep in touch via e-mail, unless absolutely urgent. Lawyers generally do not have time for informal chats. Keep your communication short and to the point.
