She charges $100 USD per hour, we're okay with covering up to about $300 so it depends on what she proposes. Hopefully she doesn't have some 10-hour minimum rate or something crazy.
You walk away if she states she has that kind of minimum. That’s something they’d never charge a Croatian for and I’m sure she quoted you $100 an hour knowing you were a foreigner. Also: keep the ad up. With the legal system at a logjam due to the strike, there should be no shortage of professionals willing to do this.
With that said, also keep in mind the scope of what we are doing. I fiddled round that site and it appeared that if you had Croatian ID, health cards, etc, you could qualify for login credentials. If she gets too cute with the price, ask her what the price is for her to download the docs and send them in the original Croatian. We can translate them via Google or other downloadable apps and did a fine enough job with the Ipsilon Media docs.
The original filing by Karlo is probably something we can do without. Lloyd stated somewhere that the translation costs were “eye-watering” and we already know what he is accusing people of. I’m more interested in the quack legal theories of James Lloyd Evans. Definitely get his filings as well as anything issued by the court.
Don’t know if you ever had a back and forth with a Cedarite, but they argue like JWs when it comes to Jabba the Hutt. They have a pre-conceived idea that you are out to slander their leader and stumble them into withdrawing their support. You can get the fucking documents translated by Dijana and they’d immediately claim she wasn’t an unbiased source and dismiss it outright as a forgery out of spite against him.
