Many people are hesitant to approach an attorney because they believe that 1) they will have to pay for the attorney’s time just to talk about their case, and 2) that they will have to pay an hourly fee or retainer. Yet, we find this approach is simply impossible injury victims.
Thus, we work on a contingency fee system. Simply put, it works like this. You do not pay us any money to start working on your case. There is no retainer fee required and we will never send you a monthly bill. Instead, we take 33% – 40% of the money we recover (depending on the type of case and circumstances) on your behalf. This is done at the end of the case once we have a check for you. Thus, you never pay us anything out of pocket. And if we do not recover anything, you do not owe us anything.
Moreover, there is no question that putting a case together is expensive. It is not uncommon for us to spend $50,000.00 or more in expenses in catastropic injury cases. We pay all of these case expenses along the way out of our own money. They are ledgered to each file and the expenses are also reimbursed out of the settlement. Again, if we do not recover for you, you do not have to repay us for these case expenses.
The bottom line is that it will never lose money by hiring us. You may very well lose out on money by not hiring us.
