Hello, I'd like some advice regarding a Cedula de Citación that my parents received recently and it seems that others have some experience of these matters!

The Cedula de Citación doesn't give any details of the case, only the date that they should appear at court.  Am I right to think that they should be able to find out the details of the case from the court before the court date?  Is this just a matter of going along with ID and the Cedula de Citación to find out?

My concern arises from the fact that they handed the Cedula de Citación to their lawyer for an explanation and she now wants to charge them €300 to go along to the courts on their behalf.

I can't believe they should have to pay €300 up front just to discover what the case is, surely it's their right to know what they're involved in before it costs them anything in legal fees?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
