Frequently Asked Questions

Fees are determined by an agreement, or contract, between us and a client. Depending on the type of case you have, there are different options for paying for attorney fees and costs. We are happy to talk about what makes the most sense for your particular case. Some options include:

• Hourly rates: where fees are determined by an amount charged per hour for the time of attorneys and other staff who work on your case. For this type of arrangement, you would receive an invoice on a regular basis, usually monthly. A retainer or “deposit” is required to begin cases handled based on hourly rates.
• Contingent fee: where our firm receives a percentage of an amount recovered on our client’s behalf. If no recovery is made‚ the attorney receives no fee. (The client is always expected to pay any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in litigating any claims.)
