Fees for property matter

in general, when it comes to hiring a lawyer in chennai, how is the fee decided.
recently, last year,  i hired a lawyer for one of the land encroahment case where governmen had decided to taken over my land and so i wanted to put a stay on it.

the lawyer advised that is requires some filing of WRIT and so asked me Rs 15,000.

so, is this a reasonable amount.


how do we generaly decided what is the reasonable fee for a given case...is there any pricing standards setup by the law assoication.

Dear Querist,

 

There is no fixed slab of the fees to be charged by a lawyer. The fees depends on the standing of the lawyer at the bar and also the nature of the case. There are lawyers who charge not less than one lakh for filing a similar writ.
