Criminal defense costs: estimate fees by stage of proceedings
Enlarge imageOn the left you choose between criminal proceedings and administrative fine proceedings, the instance from the local court to the appeal on points of law, whether there were preparatory proceedings and a main hearing, and whether a retained lawyer or a court-appointed defense counsel is involved. On the right the cost estimate lists the individual fees with the numbers of the remuneration schedule, the postage and telecommunications flat rates, the VAT and the total. In the example (local court, retained lawyer) the result is €1,197.14 gross; the calculator names the mid-range fee as a benchmark that can deviate in an individual case depending on scope and difficulty. This shows you before the first meeting what defense costs are made up of; it is not a binding cost assessment.
