We can agree that civil litigation attorneys are expensive. At the end of this video, we will share with you how to minimize your litigation costs.
At Nakase Wade, our civil litigation lawyers are often asked: How Much Does a Civil Litigation attorney Cost? The cost of a California civil litigation attorney depends on the nature of a case.
Hello, I'm Leah.
As an analogy, what is the price of a house? The answer depends on many factors, which include the size and location of the house. Also, the type of finishes a house has, such as hardwood or vinyl flooring.
In civil litigation, a simple breach of contract with few documents may cost $15,000 to litigate. In contrast, a complex breach of contract with 20,000 pages of financial documents may cost $250,000.
Here are some of the factors that will impact the cost of civil litigation:
1. The type of case.
2. The number of document pages.
3. If financial documents are involved.
4. The amount of discovery.
5. The aggression of the other party.
6. The number of alternative resolution sessions.
7. Experts needed for testimony.
8. If the case goes to trial.
Also, when a civil case goes to a jury trial, litigation costs will increase considerably.
At Nakase Wade, our civil litigation attorneys are mindful of our business clients' bottom line.
We often invite our clients to help minimize litigation costs. When a case is document-intensive, we invite our client to gather all the documents and logically organize them. Also, to identify the most important documents so that our civil litigation attorney does need to analyze every page.
