Some people avoid going to a lawyer, because they fear it costs too much.
Others go but don't ask about fees because they think it is improper to do so. There's nothing mysterious, or secret, about a lawyer's fee. It's your money and you have the right to know how you will be charged, how much it will cost, and when you will have to pay. Don't delay getting legal advice because you are afraid of the cost. You may jeopardize your legal rights and it may cost more in the long run.
