Finally, it is important to remember that human rights cases are often complex and take time. Try to be patient and keep your expectations realistic. This will help you to save money in the long run.

DISBURSEMENTS

The final bill will change as a result.

When you see "plus disbursements" on your legal bill, it's natural to worry. Legal disbursements refer to any expenses incurred by the firm that are related—however tenuously—to your case.


In most cases, lawyers charge separately for filing fees, process server fees, and long-distance tolls. Disbursements are widely accepted in the legal profession as a legitimate expense separate from other billing rates.


Disbursements can be one of the trickiest parts of creating a budget. When you do it right, though, no one will ever know that your final costs were in fact reasonable and necessary. We will do all we can to help you avoid paying high legal fees, even if that means forgoing some of our usual fees.
