A word of warning

For the lawyer, the actual fees are only a small part of the relationship. More important, usually, is the lawyer’s perception of the value the client places on his or her services. If the lawyer feels undervalued, they will be demotivated and therefore less efficient.
Don’t negotiate resentment into the relationship!
Negotiating on the legal fees always makes the lawyers a bit demotivated or sometimes they’ll just drop the deal or had it done by other lawyers instead of them. Its normal to negotiate the legal fees. But please, be reasonable!
