  Each case is individual, but here's what you may potentially be looking at:

  • demand letter = $500 (approximately)
  • discovery = $7,500 to $10,000
  • pretrial conferences = $1,500
  • trial = $10,000 to $15,000
  "Add to that a few hours work at the end to do the releases and drafting - that's where all the extra fill-ins come in," Chenoweth explains, "You can settle a case with legal fees running as little as $1,000 or as much as $25,000 if the case goes to trial. It just depends when, where, and how much work goes into it in the first place."

And don't forget that GST is also added.
