Barristers' fees depend on the complexity of the matter, the time spent, his seniority and experience. The fees for a barrister's appearance in court for the 1st day is called a "Brief" which normally includes preparation work for the trial, and the fees for each subsequent court appearance day is called a "Refresher". You are entitled to know the fees charged by a barrister and to have access to the related documents. No fees can be charged by anyone for introducing a barrister to you.
