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.
