1. What's the approximate charge for a criminal lawyer?

(1) The charging standard for criminal cases is piecework charging at all stages of handling cases. 1. In the investigation stage, the charge for each piece is 5000- 10000 yuan. 2. In the stage of review and prosecution, the charge for each piece is 5000- 10000 yuan. 3. The charge for each piece in the first trial stage is 10000-30000 yuan. 4. Non-urban cases with particularly difficult family life and meeting the conditions of local legal aid will fall within the scope of the above standards.

(2) In cases of second instance, death penalty review, retrial, appeal and criminal private prosecution, the lawyer's service fee shall be charged according to the charging standard in the first instance.

(three) the law firm represents multiple stages of a case, and reduces the fees as appropriate from the second stage.

(4) If the victim files a criminal incidental civil action case, the lawyer's service fee shall be charged according to the charging standard of civil action case.

(5) If a criminal suspect or defendant is involved in several crimes or several criminal facts at the same time, they can be prosecuted separately according to the crimes or criminal facts involved.

Two, the following cases agreed by the law firm and the client, the fee is not higher than 5 times the above fees:

(a) the legal relationship of the case is complex, and the lawyer's handling time is obviously longer than that of similar cases;

(two) the case involves difficult professional issues, and the professional level of lawyers is significantly higher than that of similar cases;

(3) Major foreign-related cases and cases with significant social impact. In the process of handling the case, the expenses such as appraisal fee, information inquiry fee and copying fee that need to be paid to the case-handling unit shall be borne by the client. Travel expenses such as transportation expenses and accommodation expenses for handling cases in different places shall be borne by the client, settled and reimbursed according to actual expenses, and a certain amount of lump sum can also be negotiated.

In criminal proceedings, the entrustment at different stages is different. If a lawyer is entrusted in the investigation stage, the charging standard is 5000 to 10000 yuan per piece; If a lawyer is entrusted at the first instance stage, the charging standard is 10000 to 30000 yuan.
