"Lawyers’ fees run from a low of around $125 per hour to $500 per hour or more in some cities. What your lawsuit will cost, in attorneys’ fees and costs such as court filing fees, costs of court reporters for depositions, expert witness fees, etc., depends mostly on how complicated the issues in your case are, how many people are involved, how well-financed they are, how vigorously they defend against your claims, and whether the suit must be brought in another city or can be filed where you live. However, even a relatively uncomplicated suit can cost you several thousand dollars to bring to the point of trial."
