Civil Law

A civil lawyer in Mexico typically charges:

• Initial consultation: $40 – $125 USD.
• Hourly rate: $50 – $200 USD.
• Simple cases: $750 – $2,500 USD.
• Complex cases: $2,500 – $15,000+ USD.

In cities like Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey, prices are usually 30–50% higher. Many lawyers offer a free first consultation and flexible payment plans.

If you’re sued and don’t have money for a lawyer, you can:

1. Request a free court-appointed attorney.
2. Look for contingency lawyers (they only charge if you win).
3. Consult university legal clinics (UNAM, IPN, UAM, etc.).
4. Negotiate affordable payment plans with private attorneys.

Don’t ignore the lawsuit: in most cases you only have 9 business days to respond.
