Ms DELVOYE charges on an hourly basis. The rate is set once it has been verified that the client does not meet the eligibility criteria for legal aid, in accordance with professional ethics.

Similarly, during the first appointment, it is also checked that no third party is in a position to cover the legal fees.

The rate is set in a flexible and transparent manner.

Information on this matter is provided during the first appointment and is confirmed by email or post following that appointment.

As a reminder, since 1 January 2014, lawyers’ fees have been subject to VAT.
