Frequently Asked Questions

Q: IF I RETAIN AN ATTORNEY HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?

A: Most accident/injury cases are taken on a "contingency" basis. That means that the attorney charges no fee unless and until you receive money from a settlement or court award. This amount may vary from state to state. In most instances, the attorney will advance the costs and will collect them from the settlement or award.

Q: WHO WILL PAY MY EXPENSES?

A: In most cases, the law firm or attorneys will advance all costs and expenses of the case as they are incurred. Once the case is concluded, they would be reimbursed for their costs and expenses out of the recovery. In some states, even if there is no recovery, the client is still responsible for the costs and expenses of the case even though the client owes no legal fees. In other states, if there is no recovery, the client will owe nothing for the cost and expenses, which will be absorbed by the law firm or attorney.

Q: WHAT IS A LAWYER REFERRAL SERVICE?

A: A lawyer referral service refers potential clients to attorneys who may be interested in taking their case.
