Cost of legal recourse for unpaid gratuity and leave salary after expired visa
Dear Sir/Madam,
I worked for a company for 9 years, and now my visa has expired, but the owner refuses to cancel my visa and pay my gratuity and leave salaries.
If I hire a lawyer to help me process my cancellation, obtain my gratuity and leave salaries, as well as cover the legal/court expenses, what will be the cost?
How much will the lawyer charge?
Will there be court fees or legal fees?

Dear Questioner,
The cost is determined on the basis of the value of the claim and the fees.
