Many factors go into determining what a lawyer charges per hour or for a particular case.
There are several ways a lawyer sets fees for a case and they vary from lawyer to lawyer and they vary depending on the type of case you have. Always ask the attorney what the fees and costs and how they will be billed before you hire the lawyer. You should always ask the lawyer for the fee agreement in writing. Make sure you understand all the terms in the written fee agreement before you sign it. If you don't understand or want something added to the agreement be sure to talk to the lawyer about it before you sign the agreement and hire the lawyer.
