Advocate: prices by source
Five sources with varying levels of reliability, deliberately kept separate so that declarations are not mixed with evidence. The price index consists of cited public price lists per unit of service (PLN/case); customer reviews show amounts for entire jobs submitted via the ‘How much did you pay?’ form, with three verification levels (how we verify them); company price lists contain prices entered by the companies themselves. Price index as at: 28 September 2026; customer and company entries are updated continuously.

What affects the price
- type of case (criminal, civil, divorce)
- stage of the proceedings
- number of hearings and complexity
- city and the law firm's experience
- the value of the subject matter of the dispute
- scope of the service: advice only, representation at one hearing or handling the entire court case
Most of the law firm websites checked did not contain pricing information in the retrieved material (the price list was loaded dynamically), so there are few sources for the main price. Round 3 added confirmation of the fee for attending one hearing (from PLN 300) and several new variants: representation in a civil/commercial case, handling an entire court case, a consumer bankruptcy case and hourly billing, as well as additional sources for legal advice and criminal defence.
Prices from customers and companies
Two types of entries: customers state how much they paid for the entire job and rate the contractor; service providers enter their price lists. Customer entries have three reliability levels: ✓ verified: invoice or receipt (the editorial team has seen a document matching the entry), ✓ verified: declaration (the author confirmed the entry using a link sent by e-mail) and unverified (how we verify entries); we do not verify company price lists. Price lists entered by companies are not included in the median at the top of the page; customer amounts are included only for services priced as a complete service.
