| Do you offer a “No Fees if No Recovery” program? | ||
Yes, we are willing to render legal services on a “No Fees if No Recovery” basis in certain circumstances. With this type of fee agreement, referred to as a contingency fee, you will not be charged any legal fees until we resolve your case. If we do not recover any fees at the end of the case, we will not charge you any legal fees. You will only be charged legal fees if and when we win your case and obtain a monetary award on your behalf. In such circumstances, our fees are calculated as a percentage of the recovery.
This fee arrangement can be advantageous as it significantly reduces your risks. Under a contingency fee agreement, you do not have to worry about paying legal fees for an unsuccessful case as you will only be charge fees if you recover money. Further, as the legal fees are calculated as only a percentage of your recovery, if you only obtain a small recovery, our legal fees will be correspondingly low. In addition, this type of fee arrangement permits you to delay the payment of legal fees until after the case is resolved. In general, this fee arrangement is appropriate in personal injury, elder abuse and medical malpractice cases. However, each situation is unique and each client has their own financial circumstances and needs. In addition, there may be costs related to your matter separate from legal fees which you may need to pay regardless of the outcome of your case. We would be happy to meet with you and provide a free initial consultation to evaluate your case and determine if this fee arrangement is appropriate with regards to your legal problem. | ||
