Legal Consultation – Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our legal consultation services

How long does a legal consultation last?

A standard consultation lasts one hour, but we can extend the session if needed.

For complex legal matters requiring detailed research or contract review, we may recommend scheduling additional time or multiple sessions to ensure we can provide comprehensive advice on your specific situation.

What are your legal consultation fees?

Our consultation fees follow official legal fee parameters set by the Italian Ministry of Justice (DM 55/2014 as updated in 2022):

  • Standard legal consultation: From €200 to €500 + VAT per hour
  • Complex legal consultation (detailed legal research, contract review, litigation strategy): Higher rates within the official parameters

The exact fee depends on the complexity of the case and level of expertise required. We provide a detailed cost estimate before the consultation so you can make an informed decision.

Can I pay after the consultation?

No, payment must be made in advance to confirm the booking.

We accept various payment methods including bank transfers, credit/debit cards, PayPal, Stripe, and cash payments for in-person consultations.

Do you offer online legal consultations?

Yes, we offer flexible consultation options including:

  • Online video calls via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, or WhatsApp Video
  • Ideal for international clients who are not in Italy but require expert legal advice
  • Secure online payment required before the consultation

This service allows you to receive professional legal advice from anywhere in the world.

Will I receive written legal advice after the consultation?

If you require a written legal opinion, we can provide one for an additional fee, depending on the complexity.

The fee will be based on the time and complexity of the analysis required. Written opinions are particularly useful for business decisions, court proceedings, or when you need documented legal advice for your records.

Can I get legal assistance even if I don’t live in Italy?

  • PayPal & Stripe for online payments
  • Cash Payments (for in-person consultations only)

Can I use a legal consultation for litigation or court representation?

A consultation is for legal advice only. If you require court representation or ongoing litigation support, we will provide a separate proposal for ongoing legal services.

During the consultation, we can assess your case and provide guidance on the best legal strategy, including whether litigation is the appropriate course of action.

What happens if I need more than one consultation?

If your case requires multiple sessions, we offer customized legal service packages based on your needs.

We can arrange ongoing legal support or scheduled follow-up consultations at competitive rates, ensuring continuity and comprehensive legal assistance for complex matters.
