收费基础或费率
   [1]当澳门赌场官网定期代表客户时, they ordinarily will have evolved an understanding concerning 收费的基础或比率. 在新的客户-澳门赌场官网关系中, 然而, 应立即就费用达成谅解, 同时注明澳门赌场官网代理的范围和由委托人承担的费用. It is not necessary to recite all the factors that underlie the basis of the fee, 但只有那些直接涉及到它的计算. 这就足够了, 例如, to state that the basic rate is an hourly 负责 or a fixed amount or an estimated amount, or to identify the factors that may be taken into account in finally fixing the fee. 在陈述期间发生的事态发展使先前的估计严重不准确, 应向客户提供修订后的估价.
   [2]关于费用的书面声明, required to be furnished in advance in most cases by paragraph (b), 减少误解的可能性. In circumstances in which paragraph (b) requires that the basis for the lawyer’s fee be 以书面形式, 通常不需要针对特定客户和代表的个性化写作. 除非收费安排有独特之处, 澳门赌场官网可以使用标准化的信函, 谅解备忘录, 或小册子，解释澳门赌场官网的收费惯例, and indicating those practices applicable to the specific representation. 这些出版物将, 例如, 解释适用的小时计费费率, 如果按小时计费的基础是考虑, 并注明收费(如申请费), 记录成本, 复制成本, long-distance telephone 负责s) are imposed in addition to hourly rate 负责s.
   [3]如果所提供的服务有一个固定的收费表，并充分告知客户要收取的费用, a copy of such schedule may be utilized to satisfy the requirement for a writing. 日常房地产交易等服务, 无争议的离婚, 或者准备简单的遗嘱, 例如, 是否适合在这样一个固定收费的时间表中进行描述.

付款条件
   [4] A lawyer may require advance payment of a fee, but is obliged to return any unearned portion. 看到 规则1.16(d). 澳门赌场官网可以接受财产作为服务报酬，例如企业的所有权权益. 然而, 以财产而不是金钱支付的费用可能会受到特别审查，因为它涉及到服务的价值和澳门赌场官网对财产价值的专门知识的问题.
   [5]如果协议的条款可能导致澳门赌场官网不恰当地减少为客户提供的服务或以违背客户利益的方式履行服务，则不得签订协议. 例如, 当可以预见可能需要更广泛的服务时，澳门赌场官网不应签订一项只提供规定数额的服务的协议, 除非向客户充分解释了情况. 否则, 在诉讼或交易过程中，客户可能不得不讨价还价以获得进一步的帮助. 然而, it is proper to define the extent of services in the light of the client’s ability to pay. 澳门赌场官网不应利用主要以小时收费为基础的收费安排，使用浪费的程序.

或有费用
   [6] Generally, contingent fees are permissible in all civil cases. 然而, (d)款继续禁止, imposed under the previous Code of Professional Responsibility, 反对在刑事案件中代表被告的澳门赌场官网使用或有收费安排. 适用法律可能对或有费用施加其他限制，例如百分比上限. 无论如何, if there is doubt whether a contingent fee is consistent with the client’s best interests, the lawyer should explain any existing payment alternatives and their implications.
   [7]家庭关系案件的或有费用, 虽然很少有理由, 规则1不禁止的.5. 在这种情况下，允许收取或有费用，以便澳门赌场官网可以向客户提供代理，否则这些客户可能无法支付非或有费用的合同.
   [8] Paragraph (c) requires that the contingent fee arrangement be 以书面形式. This writing must explain the method by which the fee is to be computed, 以及客户对费用的责任. 澳门赌场官网还必须在了结或有收费事项时向客户提供书面声明, 说明事项的结果，并解释向客户支付的任何汇款的计算.

费用分摊
   [9]分账是指向客户开出一张单，支付不在同一律所的两名或两名以上澳门赌场官网的费用. 费用的分摊有利于在任何一方都不能单独为客户服务的案件中联合多位澳门赌场官网, 最常用的情况是，费用是有条件的，并且在转介澳门赌场官网和审判专家之间划分.
   [10]第(e)款允许澳门赌场官网按照所提供服务的比例分摊费用，如果所有澳门赌场官网对代理整体承担责任，则可由参与澳门赌场官网之间达成协议分摊费用. Joint responsibility for the representation entails the obligations stated in Rule 5.为所涉事项的目的. 允许在共同责任的基础上划分的, 而不是基于所完成的服务, 这与以前的《澳门赌场官方软件》所允许的费用划分基础有所不同. The change is intended to encourage lawyers to affiliate other counsel, 谁更有经验或专业背景来满足客户的需求, 而不是为了避免失去获得费用的权利而保留对代理的单独责任.
   [11] The concept of joint responsibility is not, 然而, merely a technicality or incantation. 将委托人介绍给另一位澳门赌场官网的澳门赌场官网, 或联属其他澳门赌场官网在代理, 对客户完全负责, 并对被委托代理的澳门赌场官网在代理过程中存在的缺陷向委托人负责. If a lawyer wishes to avoid such responsibility for the potential deficiencies of another lawyer, 该事项必须提交给另一位澳门赌场官网，而不保留参与超出实际提供的服务所证明的费用的权利.
   [12]共同责任的概念并不要求转介澳门赌场官网履行所提供的全部法律服务的最低部分. 转介澳门赌场官网可以同意，接受转介的澳门赌场官网将履行与代理有关的基本上所有服务, 未经推荐澳门赌场官网审查. 因此, the referring lawyer is not required to review pleadings or other documents, 参加听证会或证词, or otherwise participate in a significant and continuing manner. The referring lawyer does not, 然而, escape the implications of joint responsibility, 看到 评论[11]，避免直接参与.
   [13] When fee divisions are based on assumed joint responsibility, (a)款关于费用合理的要求适用于所有参与澳门赌场官网的代理费用总额.
   [14]第(e)段要求告知客户, 以书面形式, ，并规定客户必须对拟议的费用安排给予肯定的知情同意. 对于“知情同意”的定义， 看到 规则1.0(e). 该规则不要求向客户披露每名澳门赌场官网将获得的佣金份额，但要求向客户告知分担费用的澳门赌场官网的身份, 他们各自在代表中的职责, and the effect of the association of lawyers outside the firm on the fee 负责d.

费用纠纷
   [15] If a procedure has been established for resolution of fee disputes, such as an arbitration or mediation procedure established by the 酒吧, 澳门赌场官网应该认真考虑服从. 法律可以规定确定澳门赌场官网费的程序, 例如, 代表执行人或管理人, 一个类, or a person entitled to a reasonable fee as part of the measure of damages. 有权收取这种费用的澳门赌场官网和代表另一方当事人的澳门赌场官网应遵守规定的程序.
