Any tips on how to get the legal fees down. A friend mentioned he used some "hard talk" with the lawyer and managed to get a higher discount on the legal fees. He didn't elaborate on the tactics though.

For those who managed to get the legal fees down, mind to share what reasons you gave to the lawyer to get a higher discount?

What is the percentage of discount that you usually get for the legal fees?

There are 2 sections for the legal fees as follows.

1. Professional Legal Fees
2. Disbursement Charges

The Total Professional Legal Fees = Professional Legal Fees + Disbursement Charges + GST.

Say if you get 20% discount, is it on Professional Legal Fees only, or it is on the Disbursement Charges as well?

Mind to share what is the discount in % you are getting from your lawyer?
