Contingency Fees

In the case of a personal injury, medical malpractice or wrongful death lawsuit, expect most law firms to charge what is called a “contingency fee.” A contingency fee is an industry-standard that means the law firm is not paid unless the case is won. When the case is successful, they receive a predetermined percentage of a settlement or jury award.

So, in personal injury cases, you can afford to hire the most experienced attorney to represent you.

For emergency legal situations, our attorneys are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, even on holidays. Don’t worry, we are here to help you through this difficult situation.
