Up Front Lawyers Fees in Spain

After 'Googling' to find information about the various fees involved when initializing a court case in Spain I found the following information:-

Has anyone NOT had to pay their Spanish Lawyers fees up front when taking a case to a Spanish court?

 Hi Sandra , we didnt have to pay it upfront but we did make a provision of funds and then paid in stages  

The lawyer and procurator cannot demand their fees in full at the outset.

Hi Gaula,

Did your lawyer offer this or was it your suggestion?

 He says its his normal terms of business and he didnt expect us to pay everything at the beginning, we recieved clear statements showing charges and money used throughout the process.

Thank you.

You have got a very good lawyer there and might now be inundated with requests for their contact details. :o)
