Initial contact
You may contact the office by email or phone.
It is recommended, for this initial contact, to provide a summary of your case.
I will then inform you on whether I am competent for your case or not, and if so we will set an appointment.
It is recommended that you send your documents by email before the secheduled appointment, in order to allow me to prepare our meeting.
Appointment
The appointment takes place in office, or remotely through videoconference.
You will be able to explain your issue or question in more details, and to provide additional documents if necessary.
If your case presents a simple legal matter, I will give you insight on the strategy, the stages of the procedure, and, if possible, the chances of success of your action.
If your case is more complex (multiple facts, large quantity of documents, multiple legal themes...) a legal consultation will be necessary to best advise you on the most appropriate procedure and the chances of success.
Case handling
A fee agreement is concluded, which covers the fees, and the provision that has to be paid upon signing.
I will then draft the required legal act (legal consultation, prior request to the administration, application before the Tribunal...).
I will keep you informed throughout the whole procedure. The projects will be sent to you for your approval before being submitted to the administration or the Tribunal.
Counsel fees
Mélanie BAZILE charges a fixed fee determined in advance, or exceptionnally a fee determined by the time spent on the case, to which may be added a complementary result fee.
Legal aid is accepted.
Part of the legal fees can be covered by your legal protection insurance. Remember to check your insurance contract (and espacially your home insurance), and with your insurance provider to learn about their policy, before the first appointment.
Cost of an appointment : 85 €
