− the time spent,
− the nature of the case,
− the complexity and technicality of the case,
− the degree of urgency.

- 1800 euros (2160 euros TTC) for an action before the Tribunal de Grande Instance de Paris (in demand or in defense) - you need to add approximatly 120 euros for judicial costs such as bailif fees and legal stamps - A result fee in case of success will be included in the fee agreement.

These expenses may be covered, in whole or in part, by your legal protection insurance.

Maître MADRE also agrees to be appointed as legal aid in matter of French nationality. A letter of acceptance, which you must attach to your application for legal aid, must be given to you by the lawyer.
