Some clients worry about approaching a lawyer to handle a personal injury or similar case because they feel they cannot afford to hire the lawyer. Contingency fees, however, resolve this issue.

What is my firm’s fee?

Generally speaking, I take cases on a contingent basis. That means that there is generally no cost to you unless my firm is able to recover a settlement or judgment on your behalf. So, unless your case is resolved by trial, arbitration, settlement, or other resolution, you generally do not have to pay any attorney fees to us, or pay any costs.

What about litigation costs?

Same thing. Litigation costs include filing fees, court reporter fees for deposition, copying costs, experts, and travel. Litigation costs are paid by our firm so you don’t have to have cash to pursue justice against Advanced Bionics. If there is a recovery, we are reimbursed our fronting of litigation costs out of any damages you are awarded. So, in a sense, you do not need cash up front to hire us as your lawyer to pursue a claim for personal injuries, emotional injuries, lost business or property damage.

What is the contingency fee percentage?

The actual percentage agreement between our firm and our clients may differ depending on each case. The fee can be somewhere between 33%-45% in most cases depending on whether the case is settled before trial, is resolved at trial or is resolved on appeal. Remember that only if there is a recovery do we collect fees out of a settlement or judgment.  If we collect nothing for you, you owe us no fees.
