skills required for the proper provision of legal services;

practice in similar cases;

‍the result;

time and labor required;

the amount related to the trial;

the conduct of other participants in the case, which could lead to an unjustified extension of the length of the proceedings;

the ratio of the amount involved and the result obtained;

time limits imposed by the client or circumstances;

the lawyer's refusal to take another job in connection with the acceptance of a particular case.
