All Your questions are not legal. Engaging lawyer or not is your very personal matter. Fee of the Lawyer depends upon his profile and standards as there is no settled slab as such. Court Fee is a State subject and is different in every State. Better it would be for you to contact your local lawyer who would be in a better position to guide you properly and effectively. Please give me Rank Five and follow me after reviewing my resume and book a consultation for further discussion and explanation if required.
