律師行收費問題

I won't say it is completely reasonable (as the law firm fails to explain the expenses to you). However, it seems it is reasonable.

In the litigation, professional reports or expert testimonies can cost more then the legal fee as in many cases, these reports and testimonies are the key of the entire case. Since you do not have the itemized list of expenses, it is difficult to say right or wrong.

However, since you have mentioned a report was done, my guess is most of the fees are spent on that report. In that case, it sounds reasonable.

If you have questions regarding your bills, you should always discuss with your firm first. After explanation, if you suspect issues, you can contact Law Society of Hong Kong or Hong Kong Bar Association (for the fees collected by barristers).

Without the bills and the actual work products, it is still difficult to make a conclusion.

However, the lawyer who said "係呀，我擺明食你" can be subject to disciplinary action (depending on the proof) for professional misconduct.

1. At the least, it can't be "he says, she says".

2. The firm can. However, due to privilege issue, everything must be confidental. So no one outside the firm can know and it can't be disclosed.

A refund is unlikely unless the bills have issues.

1. Bottom line - how many people heard that?

2. I think I finally understand what you mean now. Simply saying - a report (or 2) has been done.

But no legal action has been ever filed.

In this case, why not trying to do it yourself?

Your reason is not really a reason.

Assuming you know what you are doing and talking, your chance of winning/losing is the same as an experienced lawyer specialized in the field.

It sounds like the court has drawn a clear line on the issue in dispute. So unless this case has a new twist, it is possible to estimate the court's ruling.

What you have said is simply "又要威，又要戴頭盔".

If you want to fight for it, then you must give up something and bear the risk.

既然你已選定答案, 似乎我答嚟都無用 !!!
只係提醒你, 律師收費, 事前一定要告知你爸爸,
例如收幾錢一個鐘, 要雙方同意, 或簽同意書.
冇簽? 係律師既問題. 口同鼻坳?
佢夠膽開天殺價, 你可以投訴去律師會.
你可以要求去法庭TAX佢張單
(你唔一定有著數, 但起碼由客觀D既人評定張單, 當然呢D唔係免費).
搵區議員或律師會既免費法律服務點樣TAX張單


律師轉聘大律師, 事前一定要得到你爸爸同意.
大律師收費, 事前一定要告知你爸爸.
唔可以無凌兩可既, 知D唔知D既轉聘大律師.
呢兩樣野如果冇得你爸爸同意, 你爸爸唔使負責.
律師行要自己俾大律師費用.
話說回頭, 開會+報告費+每次開會有大律師在場...
打業權官司, 上庭前既單, 四十萬既單... 算少.
至於行政費, 我都唔知佢指乜?
搵區議員或律師會既免費法律服務幫下你啦.

而家你係2個問題,到底你係要解決件事,定係想投訴律師樓?

雖然我冇能力亦冇義務去幫你解決問題,但之前有單居屋業主同政府打既官司,係值得你去參考,人地都係單人匹馬,用個人力量去搜集資料,上庭自辯,用將近10年既時間去為所有受益人取回公道(贏左政府),咁你唔自己跟單野,只係想律師幫你贏官司,其實道理就好簡單,你咩都唔知,唔呃你唔通呃果d識野既人咩.

同埋提醒你,輸官司除左律師費,堂費都會輸死你.

法律並不是人人平等,有錢就係囖!,打官司要洗幾多?淨係打離婚,如對訟,閒閒地都打你幾十萬,中產,貧窮嘅人點去玩,右不一定打贏,輸了重要俾堂費!
你可試試找區議員的免費法律咨詢,睇佢有咩意見,係唔係可向律師公會投訴,另試下問法援,可唔可以轉過去搞,法援係有資產都可新請,佢係睇你可以承受幾多,你要打嘅對手係發展商,佢地大把錢,建譏找法援,唔係甘打落去,破產都有份!!!!!祝你好運!!!!!!

有錢先講法律,其實呢個世界法律係保障有錢人!唔係我都去向個醫生索償啦!

律師係專業集團，並非浪得虛名，你一早都知，法律係有錢人玩意，但人爭一口氣，佛爭一柱香，你要咁做，得未可償失，無計！
