This question is related to what my advocate says about the fee.


04-Jun-2026 (In Divorce Law)
I recently give the vakalath to an advocate. During that time, he only ask me to pay for whenever he is appearing on the court, that includes the transportation charges. And I was providing that. But after, 2 months he is saying me I am supposed to pay 10% of the amount I am getting from the respondents which for cash only. He is not asking any amount for the gold. He is saying that is the prescribed fees to all litigation. Is it mandatory to pay 10% to him?

Normally advocates fees varies from each advocates. There is a standard limit for an advocate to recieve fees from clients. I cannot specifically give an advice for you . It is against professional ethics of an advocate. It will be better if you talk your terms with him and reach a conclusion
