Frequently Asked Questions about Legal Fees & Costs

Q. How are you paid for your services?

A. We perform legal services on a "contingent fee" basis. Our legal fees are a percentage of the gross amount recovered by settlement or verdict, before deducting case preparation expenses.

Q. How much is the percentage?

A. The percentage varies depending upon case complexity.

Q. What are case preparation costs?

A. Typical case preparation costs include filing fees, deposition fees, expert witness consultation fees, travel costs, and fees associated with the preparation of trial exhibits.

Q. Do I pay anything upfront?

A. No. We advance all costs necessary to prepare your case, and we are reimbursed these costs from your portion of the recovery only if we recover money for you.

Q. What if we don't recover any money?

A. In the end, if we do not recover money for you, we do not receive a fee and you owe us nothing for costs.
