Are these Romania lawyer fees binding minimums?

No. They are reference values from the official Romania tariff, not mandatory minimums. A lawyer may agree to charge more or less — the fee agreement is between you and the lawyer.

Where do the numbers come from?

Every figure is computed from the official tariff published by the national bar council, and the breakdown links to the specific article that produced it. Tarifo never averages market quotes or invents figures.

Is this legal advice?

No. Tarifo explains what the tariff says; it does not analyse your case. For advice about your situation, talk to a lawyer.

Is Tarifo free to use?

Yes. The calculator is free, with no account and no sign-up. The site is funded by clearly-labelled display advertising.

Does the Romania calculator include court fees?

Yes. Alongside the reference lawyer fee from the official tariff, Tarifo shows the official Romania court fee for your case type and claim amount — so you see the full cost of bringing a claim, including how it changes for a family case or an appeal.

Reference

This is a reference, not a quote. A lawyer may agree to charge more, or less. The agreement is between the client and the lawyer.

The Romanian bar tariff (Hotărârea UNBR nr. 230 din 12 iunie 2025) is adopted cu caracter de recomandare under Lege 51/1995 art. 65 lit. v) — it is not a binding minimum on lawyer–client agreements. It serves as a reference for cost taxation under CPC art. 451 alin. (2), confirmed by CCR Decizia of 1 July 2025. Amounts are net of 19% VAT (Hot. 230/2025 art. VIII). Tarifo presents these as reference values, not legal advice.
