What are Your Legal Fees?
Most attorneys who practice in the area of tort law charge their fees on a contingency basis. This means that the lawyers do not receive money for their work until and unless they successfully resolve their clients' cases through settlements or jury verdicts. The fees that may be charged may range from 33 and one-third percent to 40 percent, depending on the stage of your case when it is settled or won. It is important to understand that lawyers who charge low contingent fees may be inexperienced and not qualified to handle your case properly.
