FAQs

  • Do you accept legal aid mandates?

    No we do not accept such mandates.

  • How much do lawyers charge and how are their fees calculated?

    Our fees can be hourly or based on a flat rate depending on the type of file. The price depends on several factors, including:

    1 ° the experience and the special competence of the lawyer

    2 ° the time and effort required and devoted to the file;

    3 ° the difficulty and the complexity of the file;

    4 ° services rendered urgently with exceptional speed;

    5 ° the result obtained;

  • How long will it take before I get a judgment?

    The time to obtain a judgment is difficult to predict and varies according to the judicial districts. It can take months and even years to get justice. In order to obtain justice, other remedies are possible, in particular by using alternative methods of settlement, for example arbitration and mediation.

  • Will I succeed?

    The services rendered by a lawyer are subject to an obligation of means. This means that the lawyer is required to take the best means at his disposal to provide the client with the desired result. In order to determine whether it has adequately discharged this duty, the courts use the test of a prudent, diligent and normally competent lawyer.

    Hamon Screnci’s lawyers have special skills in various types of areas such as:

    • Family law
    • Civil law
    • Municipal law
