Most people hiring a lawyer for the first time may be daunted by a fear of the legal costs. It is also not an easy task to decide which lawyer or law firm to engage, out of the 5,920 legal practitioners in 912 law firms in Singapore. And often these factors discourage many people from seeking the legal help they need.
What is fixed fee vs hourly fee? Legal fees vary wildly from firm to firm depending on how complicated the case is as well as the seniority of the lawyer and the size of the firm. More often than not, you will find law firms charging an hourly rate ranging from $300 to $1,000 per hour. As it is hard to predict how long your case will take to close, being billed based on the hourly rate can add up to a hefty legal bill.
