    Your most accurate answer would come by asking a RI lawyer what he charges. Lawyer fees vary a great deal, even in the same town so ask 3 lawyer what they want. However, if you have proof the debt is SOL you may not even need a lawyer. How old and what type of debt is this and who is taking you to court?
