Costs

I offer my services for a fee.

Individual meetings can be offered for a fixed amount of EUR 200 (incl. 20 % VAT).

In most other cases I bill my services on basis of an hourly rate or as individual actions (Einzelleistungen) pursuant to the Austrian Act on Attorney Fees (RATG) or in accordance with the Autonomous Fee Criteria (AHK). It is frequently possible to offer a general overview of the potential costs. If services are provided for an hourly rate, the fee will depend on the actual time worked. Individual actions are defined in the RATG; their value will depend on the value of the issue at hand, the type and duration of work. It is frequently possible to offer a general overview of possible costs.

A fixed fee is possible in cases where the probably amount of work can be clearly defined. In addition, in criminal cases I typically work with fixed amounts for specific procedural stages. The fee in this case depends on the estimated time involved, the services to be provided and the relevant provisions of the AHK and the RATG.

It is possible that a legal insurance will at least partially cover the fees for my services. Please note that billing will usually not be done directly with insurance companies.

I typically require an advance payment in order to begin work.
