What is a Contingency Fee Arrangement?
A contingency fee arrangement simply means that if there is no recovery, no attorney fee is owed. Rather than billing the client on an hourly basis, the contingency fee means the firm is entitled to a percentage of the settlement or award at trial. The exact percentage depends on the type of case. If you do not receive any compensation, our firm is not entitled to any attorneys’ fees. The contigent fee arrangement provides parties who have been injured with access to the courts, even if they could not afford to hire an attorney on an hourly basis or pay the costs of litigation. Contingent fee arrangements provide a strong financial incentive for an attorney to work diligently on your case, since the attorney is only entitled to a fee based on the amount of your recovery. We accept most personal injury cases on a contingent fee basis. Our willingness to undertake your representation on a contingent fee basis is a reflection of our confidence in our ability to recover on your behalf. |
