Fees for legal advice and support
The fee per hour in your case depends on a number of factors such as: urgency, complexity, specialism, interest and nature of the matter. We always provide a specification in our bills.
Legal aid for private individuals
At MARK Advocaten some lawyers also provide legal assistance to individuals who are eligible for legal aid (Dutch: “toevoeging”), legal assistance financed by the government. If you have an income or capital below a certain limit, the government will pay the fee of the lawyer. You only need to pay a personal contribution. The amount of this personal contribution depends on the amount of your income. More information on this legal aid is available on the website of the Dutch Legal Aid Board (“Raad voor Rechtsbijstand”, “RvR”). MARK Advocaten works with the Raad voor Rechtsbijstand on the basis of a High Trust agreement so that applying for legal aid is less complicated.
High trust transparency, trust and understanding
Legal Aid Board (RvR). MARK Lawyers works with the Legal Aid Board on a High Trust basis, which makes applying for an addition easier.
