The client pays nothing up front for us to work on their case. In most of our cases, we work on a contingency fee basis, and we’ll take 1/3 of the amount that we recover for our client. Excluded from that amount are out-of-pocket expenses, such as case filing fees, which are paid separately. We advance those costs and get them back from our client out of their 2/3 share of any recovery. This fee structure is the standard way personal injury lawyers work on cases.  It is important to know that if we don’t make a recovery in your case, there is no fee earned.
