The law firm Sp\u00fchler Attorneys at Law therefore regularly requests advances on costs. <\/p>\n<p>For the first meeting, we require an advance payment of CHF 350.00, which covers the costs of around one hour. At the first meeting, the person handling the case can outline the further costs of handling the case and the financing options. <\/p>\n<p>If it is determined after the first meeting that free legal representation or official defense is possible, no further advances on costs will be requested.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of a cost approval by a legal expenses insurance or a victim counseling center, we waive an advance on costs for the first meeting.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>Free legal representation \/ official defense<\/h2>\n<p>The law firm Sp\u00fchler Attorneys at Law also takes on mandates in the context of free legal representation or official defense (&#8220;public defense&#8221;). These are mandates in which the attorney&#8217;s fees and, if applicable, the costs of the proceedings are borne by the state. The prerequisite is that the person seeking legal assistance cannot afford official or court proceedings and the case is of a certain complexity.   The costs paid by the state can be reclaimed if the client&#8217;s financial situation improves. Party compensation in the event of losing a case is not covered by the free administration of justice.<\/p>\n<p>During your first consultation with Sp\u00fchler Rechtsanw\u00e4lte AG, we will be happy to check whether you are entitled to free legal assistance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>Legal expenses insurance<\/h2>\n<p>The law firm Sp\u00fchler Rechtsanw\u00e4lte also works together with legal expenses insurers. After you have clarified whether we can take on the case by requesting an appointment, you should register your case immediately and personally with the legal expenses insurance company and clarify whether insurance cover exists. Let the insurance company know who from Sp\u00fchler Attorneys at Law you would like to be represented by. The legal expenses insurance will then issue a cost credit for individual (procedural) steps. You have no cost risk within the cost estimate. Services that go beyond the cost approval or are not covered by the insurance policy are subject to a charge for the client.     <\/p>\n<p>Please refer to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sav-fsa.ch\/de\/documents\/news\/checkliste_svv-und-sav_d.pdf\">information sheet<\/a> of the Swiss Bar Association.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>Further costs<\/h2>\n<p>Proceedings before courts and authorities can result in further costs such as <strong>procedural costs<\/strong> and <strong>party compensation<\/strong>.
