Rate System

The rates of the matters where the representation or participation of a lawyer is hired are approved by the Ministry of Justice and published for your knowledge in all the law firms of the country. They are tempered to the nature and complexity of the matter, as well as the sensitivity, transcendence and social accessibility that is verified for the particular service. The rates of the services base the eminently social vocation of the organization.
