Legal Services in Craiova

About this service

Legal services cover advice, drafting documents, and representation before courts or authorities. In practice, the most requested work is: advice on a specific situation, drafting and reviewing contracts, incorporating and amending companies, debt recovery, employment disputes, family law, inheritance, property disputes, and challenges to administrative fines. The professions are strictly regulated: a lawyer is registered with a bar association and can represent clients in court, a public notary authenticates documents and settles estates, a bailiff enforces judgments, and an in-house legal counsel advises only one entity, their employer. Choosing the right professional depends directly on the document or procedure you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is court stamp duty?

It is the fee payable to the state for filing a claim in court, usually calculated according to the value of the claim. It is paid separately from the lawyer's fee and is a precondition for the claim being heard.

How do I choose the right professional in Craiova?

Look at their specialisation in your type of case, ask up front for a written fee estimate and the basis of charging, and check availability for hearings in Craiova. The information here is general and does not replace a consultation.

How much does a legal consultation cost in Craiova?

A standard consultation generally costs 200-700 RON in Craiova, depending on the complexity of the situation and the professional's experience. Many practices credit the consultation fee against the case fee if you go ahead.

What's the difference between a lawyer, a notary, and in-house counsel?

A lawyer advises and represents any client in court, being registered with a bar association. A public notary authenticates documents and settles estates. In-house counsel advises only the entity employing them. The choice depends on the document or procedure you need.

How is the fee determined?

Through a legal assistance contract signed before work begins. It can be fixed, hourly, staged, or include a success element. Court stamp duty, expert reports, and registry fees are separate from the fee.

What documents should I bring to the first meeting?

Everything connected to the situation — contracts, notices, correspondence, official reports, judgments — and, if available, proof of the date you received the document you're challenging. Deadlines run from communication, so the date matters enormously.
