How we work

  1. I.

    First, a phone call.

    It helps to speak by telephone first, so we can set a meeting, at our office or another agreed location, and hear a brief outline of your situation before we discuss it in detail.

  2. II.

    The meeting.

    At the appointment you set out your situation in full, and we present the possible ways forward for resolving it. At the same time you learn the costs involved and the documents needed for your file.

  3. III.

    Ongoing work.

    Depending on the complexity of the matter, we may arrange several meetings to keep you up to date, especially where a dispute runs over a longer period. You are also kept informed by telephone, as often as needed.

  4. IV.

    Throughout.

    Over this time you have the chance to form your own view of the quality of the service, the way we work, and the seriousness of the coordinating attorney.

Fees, plainly

Consultations are paid. Fees vary with the complexity of the case.

Setting the exact fee requires a first meeting, so we can discuss your case and agree on a few pricing criteria. Depending on the volume of work, you may benefit from a personalised offer. A subscription-style fee is also available for recurring advice and representation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the fee for a consultation or for court proceedings?

Fees vary with the complexity of the case. Setting the exact fee requires a first meeting, so we can discuss your case and agree on a few pricing criteria. Depending on the volume of work, you may benefit from a personalised offer.

What will the judicial expenses cost me?

In addition to the fee described above, other judicial expenses may arise, such as travel, meals and accommodation where a dispute takes place outside Timișoara, the judicial stamp tax in civil and commercial litigation, and expert fees where an expert report has to be commissioned in the case, among others.

Do I need to come to the office in person to use your services?

As a rule, yes. To be sure, it is best to speak by telephone first. That way we can establish with certainty whether a meeting at our office is needed, or at another location agreed together with you.
