I'm trying to understand how the billing system works for lawyers in Pakistan.

If I wanted to hire a lawyer for myself, not just for one case, but also for ongoing legal advice on different matters (property, contracts, family, business, etc.) how do lawyers typically charge?

- Is it per consultation, hourly, monthly retainer, or per case?

- What's considered a reasonable fee?

- If you have a lawyer on retainer, what does that usually include?

- Are there any hidden costs or things I should watch out for before hiring one?

I'd appreciate hearing from lawyers or anyone who has experience hiring one in Pakistan.

Thanks!
