How to choose a family law lawyer in Saint-Gilles
A family law lawyer in Saint-Gilles appears before the courts of that district. So start with the practice area, then with how close the firm is.
Start with the practice area. French law splits into fields that each demand regular practice, and a firm at home in company law is not the one you consult for a divorce. Proximity comes next: before the judicial court, a lawyer from the same court of appeal district spares you, as a rule, the cost of a second lawyer.
In Saint-Gilles, the firms on this page mostly work in family law, immigration law, and criminal law.
The fees of a family law lawyer in Saint-Gilles follow no legal scale. France sets no scale for legal fees. Each lawyer therefore fixes their own, in a written fee agreement that the law makes mandatory. It sets out how the fees are calculated before the case begins. So ask at the first contact for a written estimate that separates the hourly rate, any fixed fee, the success fee and the court costs.
Legal aid
Legal aid covers your lawyer's fees, in whole or in part, if your income stays under the statutory ceilings. You file the application with the legal aid office of the judicial court for the area where you live. The Service-Public website sets out the conditions and the ceilings.
