Answer

Dear David,

If you try to find professional help, any attorney will charge you for $200 per hour. It is regular price, nothing specific. I can offer you discount, but it will be not too much because it is international child custody case, which cannot be easy and cheap.

Many people in Russia provides legal services without special education and without attorney status. Their service fee will be much cheaper than any attorney fee. But you need to understand all risks if you hire non-professional representative.

Please let me know if you need my help, and we will discuss discounted price after that.
