    Default Standard legal fees for divorce and appeal for hearing in Michigan

    Our lawyer is asking for 5,600.00 to appeal a motion denying a restitution hearing. (I was mistaken in my first post about us already having the hearing, we had the motion hearing to ask for one, but the judge denied the request)

    This fee is supposed to cover the motion to appeal plus the hearing and subsequent negotiations if it should happen. He said for 10,000.00 he would do all this plus a divorce (the wife is in another state and cannot be contacted so I suppose its more involved than a regular divorce)

    I plan on calling a few other lawyers for second opinions but can anyone confirm that this is standard pricing for such services? I wasnt anticipating it to be so much.

    Sounds pretty cheap to me.

    There are no standard fees. Each firm independently determines what it will charge. You can get a feel for the going rates in a community by calling several law firms and asking for them to quote their fees, although some may insist upon meeting you to discuss the case before discussing potential fees.
