We do not charge for the initial consultation. All other fees are contingent upon a settlement that is satisfactory to our client or in case of trial what a jury awards us for winning the case.

We charge a 33 /3 % contingency fee prior to filing the law suit if a case is settled. We charge a 40% contingency fee after filing a law suit and the case is settled after a substantial amount of litigation work is done on the case and/or we try the case in court. If we file the law suit and the insurance company settles the case (to our client's satisfaction) we only charge the 33 1/3 % contingency fee.
