The Minnesota Statement of Attorney Fees and Costs is a document used by attorneys to provide a detailed record of the fees and costs associated with a legal case. This document is required by the Minnesota Rules of Professional Conduct when attorneys enter into a fee arrangement with a client. It must be signed by both the lawyer and the client and is used to track the attorney’s expenses, including court costs, filing fees, research costs, and other related expenses. It also outlines the attorney’s fee and how it will be paid. The Minnesota Statement of Attorney Fees and Costs can come in two forms: a fixed fee arrangement or an hourly fee arrangement. In a fixed fee arrangement, the attorney charges a one-time fee for their services, and in an hourly fee arrangement, the attorney charges an hourly rate for their services. In either case, the attorney must include a detailed breakdown of their fees and costs in the Minnesota Statement of Attorney Fees and Costs.
