There are three methods of legal fees at Lema Law Chambers. We charge flat rate legal fees on specific legal services. The second method of our legal fees is based on hourly rate for the services rendered to clients. The third method is based on specific agreement between Lema Law Chambers and the clients.

Throughout our practice over the years Lema Law Chambers realized that clients are often concerned about lawyer fees and the costs associated with receiving legal services from lawyers. At Lema Law chambers we believe in transparency.
