GENERAL QUESTIONS
Q: What are your attorney fees?
Attorneys are typically paid either on an “hourly” basis or a “contingency” basis.
On an hourly basis, the client pays a set hourly rate while the attorney works on the case, regardless of outcome.
On a contingency basis, the client pays nothing unless there is a recovery in the case. With this arrangement, if you do not collect money from your case, you pay nothing for attorney fees; if you do obtain a recovery, the attorney fees are a percentage of the amount recovered. This arrangement gives the attorney a strong incentive to obtain the best possible recovery in your case. The percentage paid as attorney fees depends on the type of case, and the stage of the case where a settlement is obtained.
For many of our clients, we also agree to work on a mixed hourly/contingency basis, where we charge dramatically lower hourly rates than other attorneys and a substantially reduced contingency payment.

Q: How much would my case be worth?
Determining the value of a case is complicated and depends on numerous variables. There is no “typical” recovery for a case. If a case settles, the value is ultimately determined by the parties reaching mutually acceptable terms. If a case does not settle and proceeds to trial, the value is typically determined by a judge or jury. Click here for an evaluation of what your case might be worth.

Q: How long does a lawsuit take?
There is no easy answer. Some cases are resolved in weeks, others take years. The most important factors are the personalities of the parties involved in the dispute. If all parties seek a peaceful resolution, a case could be settled in days or weeks. On the other hand, if the opposing party is actively fighting, the lawsuit is likely to take a year or more. We should be able to give you a better estimate after an evaluation of your specific circumstances. If you would like a free and confidential evaluation of your situation, please contact us.
