LAW FIRM SAMIR BAKITariffs

I. GENERAL

It is seldom possible to determine beforehand how much the handling of a case will cost because it depends on criteria on which we have no control or are totally unknown. : the introduction of an appeal, of an opposition, an appeal at the Supreme court of Appeal , the number of necessary conclusions, of letters, of appearances or of unforeseen costs. It is often impossible to foresee an exact amount for the full handling because each case is different as are the number of interventions.

A first visit to examine the problems, to plan the interventions and the judicial counselling will cost 75,00 EUR.

After that it is up to you if you want to call upon our services.

If you choose to pursue the case with us, we will make a concrete estimation of our costs and fees. After the first visit and the opening of a case, a mandate agreement will be drawn and you will receive a case number and a first down payment invoice. This mandate contract contains the working rules of the Law Firm.
You can download these below.

The Law Firm works through down payment invoices and final invoices. We ask for provisions so that the amount of costs and fees can be spread according to the possibilities of each client. When making up the down payment and the provision invoices, no fees or costs are yet taken into account.

The down payment invoice is received first, before the invoice for fees and costs.
The intermediate or final invoice is only sent after some actions have been taken and costs have been suffered. From this amount, the amount of the down payments will be deducted.
During the handling of the procedure, you will receive intermediate invoices mentioning the amount of costs and fees produced during the concerned time period of the handling. .

From the 1st of January 2008 onwards, you can have the losing party to pay for most of the costs and fees as the Court will sentence the loser of the case to pay for the procedural fees. The amount of this fee is fixed by the law and depends from the importance of the procedure.

It is possible that you have a insurance for judicial support even without knowing this. Most insurances for civil responsibility , legal fire insurance, family insurance include this judicial support. You can best inform with the insurance company if such a clause is included in your personal insurance contract and you always have the right to choose your own lawyer. If this is the case, it will be your insurance company that will directly pay for the costs and fees of your lawyer.
