In a contingency arrangement, you pay no attorney fee unless your lawyer recovers compensation for you. The fee is a percentage of the recovery, agreed in writing at the start.
No Upfront Cost
Costs vs. Fees
Case costs — filing fees, records, expert witnesses — are separate from the attorney fee. Most firms advance these costs and recoup them from the recovery.
Why It Aligns Interests
Because the attorney is paid only if you recover, their incentive is to maximize your result. It also means quality legal help is available regardless of your finances.
Read the Agreement
A good attorney explains the percentage, how costs are handled, and what happens if there is no recovery. A free review is a chance to ask all of these questions.
