How Is the Attorney’s Fee Calculated?

The contingency percentage and the method used to calculate the fee will be stated in the written agreement you receive before representation begins.  The percentage may depend on different factors identified in the agreement, such as what state your incident occurred in, or whether a lawsuit must be filed. We will review the agreement with you and answer your questions before you decide whether to sign it.

You should understand:

• The percentage used to calculate the attorney’s fee
• Whether the percentage can change during the case
• How case expenses are handled
• Whether expenses are deducted before or after the fee is calculated
• What happens if the case does not produce a recovery
