No hourly attorney’s fees. No upfront attorney’s fees for your personal injury cases. No attorney’s fee unless we recover money for you.

Medical bills, reimbursement claims, or valid liens may need to be addressed from the settlement. The specific deductions depend on the facts of the case.

The percentage is stated in the written agreement provided before representation begins. We will explain how the percentage is calculated and whether it can change depending on the stage of the case.

You do not pay CPY Law upfront or hourly attorney’s fees for your personal injury case handled on a contingency basis. The attorney’s fee is paid from the recovery if we recover money for you.

After a serious injury, you may already be facing medical bills, missed work, pain, transportation difficulties, insurance calls, and uncertainty about the future.

A contingency fee allows you to seek legal help without adding hourly attorney’s fees to those immediate financial pressures.

During the consultation, we may ask about:

• How the incident happened
• When and where it occurred
• The injuries you suffered
• The treatment you have received
• The insurance companies involved
• Any communications or offers you have received

We will discuss whether additional information is needed and whether CPY Law may be able to assist you.

There is no charge for the consultation, and speaking with us does not require you to hire the firm.

If we do not recover money for you, you do not owe us an attorney’s fee.

A settlement amount is not necessarily the same as the amount the client ultimately receives.

Depending on the case, deductions may include:

• The attorney’s fee
• Authorized case expenses
• Medical bills
• Health-insurance reimbursement claims
• Medicare, Medicaid, or other valid liens or subrogation interests
• Other deductions authorized by the client or required by law

Before settlement proceeds are distributed, you should receive a written breakdown showing the recovery and all proposed deductions.

CPY Law will review that breakdown with you and answer your questions before the funds are distributed.
