Contingent Fee
We take some cases on a contingent fee basis. Under a contingent fee arrangement, we are paid a percentage of the amount recovered but we are not paid if there is no recovery. Not many attorneys are willing to handle fiduciary litigation cases on a contingent fee basis. Contingent fees are beneficial to our clients because fiduciary litigation cases often require significant time to prepare and take to trial. Most clients cannot afford to pay attorneys by the hour. During our initial conversations, we will discuss our fee arrangement.
