The remuneration of an attorney's office is determined in each case after taking into account the complexity of the case and the catalogue of activities which must be performed by the attorney. The most common way of accounting for services is establishing a fee for each activity performed for the Client, where the basis of such a fee is the acceptance of the rate of PLN 500 PLN (with VAT) per one hour of the attorney's work. Thus the Client is not charged in advance for the whole case, and payments are made together with the progress of the case and are always based on its development and the Client's expectations and wishes.
For each payment the Office issues a VAT invoice or a receipt.
Due to numerous questions from the interested Clients concerning the approximate price list of services, the example prices are presented below, which allow the approximate orientation as to the amount of remuneration for the attorney. In each instance, however, the most accurate valuation of a particular case can be obtained only after the attorney gets acquainted with the case in detail and is able to assess its complexity and the scope of work to be performed.
