I was involved in a fight over the weekend where I felt that I was the victim because the girl hit me first, then her boyfriend put his hands on me. I now have to go to court, twice. One for the girl, becuase she is getting a public offender, and second for me, because I wish to pay for a lawyer. But I am in college with little money and I do not know how much lawyer fees will cost me. Can somebody please give me some enlightenment. How much will I end up spending for a lawyer to represent me in two trials.

Your question is nearly impossible to answer. Legal fees are negotiated between the attorney and the client. Some cases are based on an hourly rate. Some are handled on a flat fee basis. Still others are handled on a contingent fee basis. It depends on local market conditions and many other factors. However, most attorneys will give you a free initial consultation.
