You need to take a microscope to the fee agreement which you and your lawyer set up. This document, which breaks down the cost of an Alburquerque NM DUI attorney representation, is often boring, long, and filled with heavy handed language, despite the fact that lawyers are very articulate. They do this because they don’t want you to read it, but you should give it a go anyway so that you can be fully aware of just what you are being charged for and contest it when it’s wrong. Here’s some things you may notice.
- Charges for employee usage. This includes, but is not limited to, employees’ time spent doing things related to your case, the cost of looking for and searching for a new or temporary employee for a certain aspect of your case, and charges for overtime hours worked by employees on your case.
- Administration fees may be assessed, applying to things as varied as the amount of paper and paper clips used to the cost of postage stamps for mail relating to your case.
- Fees which consider the cost for your attorney to travel to and fro to the courthouse.
- Fees for court usage, jury search and payments, filing paperwork, etc.
