Our fee structure is simple. If we don’t win, you don’t owe us anything. This is called a contingency fee agreement. While it can be risky for us, we do this because we understand that legal proceedings are complicated, very expensive, and can take a long time. We also understand that most people who have been seriously injured, and many times out of work, cannot afford to pay legal fees on an hourly basis or pay for the necessary expenses associated with personal injury litigation, such as paying expert witnesses tens of thousands of dollars to review materials, provide opinions and testify when necessary. This is why we always accept representation based on an arrangement where we do not get paid, and you do not owe us anything for legal fees or costs of litigation unless we are successful in the lawsuit on your behalf.
If we are successful, of course, we take these legal fees and costs into account when we negotiate a resolution of your claim. We will not pursue a lawsuit if we do not feel it is practical, and we will tell you that upfront.
