legal fees
Legal fees are the charges that a lawyer or law firm bills for their services in representing clients. These fees can vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the case, the lawyer's experience, and the billing agreement—whether it's an hourly rate, a flat fee, or contingent on an outcome. Legal fees cover tasks like advising, preparing documents, negotiations, and court appearances. It's important for clients to understand these costs upfront to plan accordingly and ensure transparency in the legal process.
