How Much Will It Cost To Hire A Lawyer?
Different lawyers do it differently,
but at our firm our clients have a
choice in how they pay for legal
services. We can charge on an hourly
basis or on a contingency fee.
If you choose to hire us on an hourly
basis we will track the time our lawyers
and paralegals spend on your case and
bill you monthly. Our hourly rates range
from $250 per hour for lead trial
attorneys to $80 per hour for
paralegals.
On hourly billings, there are two basic
rules: all fees and costs are paid
monthly and we get paid win, lose, or
draw.
Alternatively, on a contingency fee we
are paid one-third of any recovery. If
there is no recovery, you owe us nothing
for our legal services.
Either way, the law requires that you
pay your own costs, such as the charges
doctors make for providing records and
reports, out of the money you receive
when the case is settled. While the case
is underway, we advance all costs, so
there are no upfront charges.
The choice on the fee is entirely up to
you: on an hourly basis or on a
contingency fee.
