Legal Advocacy Fees
An attorney’s fee is the amount or value of the legal assistance rendered by the attorney.
The value of the lawsuit or judgment or a certain percentage of the money, not exceeding twenty-five percent, may be agreed as attorney’s fee.
The agreements to be made pursuant to the second paragraph may not stipulate that a part of the property and rights other than the money subject to the lawsuit shall belong to the attorney in kind.
No attorney fee may be agreed below the minimum fee tariff for attorneys. In the event that a case is taken free of charge, the situation shall be notified to the board of directors of the bar association. In cases where the attorney’s fee has not been agreed upon, or there is no written fee agreement between the parties, or the fee agreement is unclear or disputed, or the provision of the fee agreement regarding the fee is deemed invalid; in cases and works whose value can be measured in money, an amount between ten percent and twenty percent of the value of the claim on the date of finalization of the judgment according to the labor of the lawyer for the winning part of the case shall be determined as the attorney’s fee by the authority authorized to examine the fee objections, provided that it is not below the minimum fee tariffs. In cases and affairs whose value cannot be measured in money, the minimum attorney fee tariff shall be applied.
At the end of the case, the attorney’s fee to be charged to the other party based on the tariff shall belong to the attorney. This fee may not be set-off, set-off or garnished due to the debt of the business owner.
