Payment is due by the customer, except in the case of full legal aid. This does not however exempt the client from the “right of pleading”, which is due to him in any event. Our policy is maximum cost control for a statement of costs reduced as much as possible, according to the following scale :

This will be a percentage of the money obtained, or of which you will avoid conviction. In the presence of a performance fee agreement, the main fee is reduced. However, it can never disappear, nor be too weak, French law prohibiting us from weighing our remuneration solely on the success of our actions.
Therefore, it will be necessary to distinguish the diligence fee, which will be payable upon initiation of the procedure, from the result fee, which will be added in the event of success:

The two fees (diligence and result) are added. Expenses and disbursements remain excluded. ]]> https://www.avocat-dijon-fournier.fr/en/legal-aid/ Thu, 17 Jun 2021 06:48:55 +0000 https://fournier.lapreprod.fr/2021/06/17/legal-aid/ The Cabinet FOURNIER intervenes only on an exceptional basis within the framework of legal aid because of its working methods and the time devoted to each of its cases.

Subject to the prior agreement of the Lawyer, an exception may be made if your financial and personal situation entitles you to the award of legal aid. No additional fees will be charged to you in the event of full legal aid. Partial legal aid gives rise to the payment of an additional fee subject to VAT at the standard rate.

Information notice on legal aid.

1/ Cabinet FOURNIER primarily sets its fees on a lump sum basis.

This flat rate corresponds to the processing of the entire procedure. A fee agreement signed between the firm and its client defines the terms.

2/ Packages for the different types of procedures :

The package covers all fees for the entire procedure, excluding disbursements, and excluding legal remedies (appeal).

Disbursements are expenses incurred on your behalf, which you must reimburse (bailiffs’ acts, recorded delivery charges, copies, travel, etc.): a scale is provided on this site.

Any payment can be spread over twelve months by setting up a monthly transfer (to be justified) or the prior delivery of several checks which will be cashed 30 days apart, on the dates you will mention on the back.

Contact the Firm to specify the price in relation to the ranges announced, depending on the degree of difficulty of your file.

The following rates correspond to our packages without performance fees (the additional performance fee may decrease the amount of the package – contact the firm) :

This list is not exhaustive.

The work relating to the liquidation of matrimonial regimes, and the liquidation-sharing of undivided co-ownership gives rise to pricing specific to each case. No range can therefore be given to you here.

Do not hesitate, however, to contact the Firm to find out its conditions of intervention

The MALETESTE Hotel owes its name to the eponymous family, which at the beginning of the 17th century was embodied by Claude MALETESTE. An advisor to Parliament, he was behind the construction of buildings on the street and back. These first house a Regency library, which was built by MORIZOT, lawyer tenant of the family.

This room, which serves as a reception area for Cabinet FOURNIER, has been listed as a historical monument since 1924. The richness of this room is also due to the treasures it houses, such as legal works from the 18th century, texts in force under the Old diet.

The Hotel MALETESTE and its raised garden of French topiary yews can be visited during Heritage Days.

“… Its terraced garden invites you to come in and stay as it awakens the impression of a garden of love where knights and ladies of the Decameron would chat” …

Cabinet FOURNIER respects its obligation of continuous training for a minimum of 20 hours per year. He makes a point of following training courses in relation to the cases handled, and regularly refining his knowledge. Cabinet will not agree to deal with a file if it does not have the skills to do so. He will direct you to one of his colleagues if necessary. In addition, the lawyer will assist any person whose intervention will be necessary for the success of your claims (Notary, Bailiff, Expert, etc.).

It is the same for the first name, even if the procedures differ: the first involves the seizure of the Keeper of the Seals or the Prosecutor of the Republic ; while the second takes place before the Family Affairs Judge.

Your lawyer will be able to advise you on the approach to adopt and the chances of success of your request.

Whether you are the child concerned, the biological father, the father who recognized the child, the mother of the child, or any other interested person, Cabinet FOURNIER can initiate an action on your behalf to challenge paternity.

This will be carried out with the Tribunal de Grande Instance of the place of residence of the defendants, that is to say the people you will summon to challenge paternity. As part of this procedure, it is very common to request genetic expertise in order to determine parentage with certainty.

Your Lawyer will accompany you in the different phases of this trial, whatever your role.

The contribution to the expenses of the marriage is the sum which is due by each of the spouses, during the duration of the marriage, and prior to any divorce proceedings, according to their resources to participate in the expenses of the household. In fact, these are most often the case where one of the spouses leaves the marital home without leaving anything to the other to meet the household expenses. Or, it could be a married couple who still live under the same roof, but one of them decides not to contribute to the daily costs even though they have the resources to do so.

Your Lawyer will assist you in bringing this action before the Family Affairs Judge, and get the defaulting spouse to assume his share of the contribution. Conversely, if you are in defense, Cabinet FOURNIER will tell you the measures to take so that a failure to contribute is not blamed on you.

This type of separation sometimes leads the parent with whom the children’s residence is fixed to have to completely cut ties with his ex-spouse. And it is often the whole family of the ex-spouse who is thus ousted, the grandparents being part of it. Referral to the Family Affairs Judge can allow these separated grandparents to find a place with their grandchildren, and to maintain regular relationships.

This action also makes it possible, in a tense context, and even though the grandparents still manage to see their grandchildren, to have their rights formalized by the Family Affairs Judge.
