When you hire us on a contingency basis, and you do not receive any recovery, you do not pay us any attorneys’ fees or costs. However, if we are working on a matter for you by the hour or at a fixed rate, and you do not receive any recovery, you are required to pay the costs and fees that are outlined in the retainer agreement. Unfortunately, there is no way to predict what will happen in a matter and we cannot guarantee a particular outcome. However, what is guaranteed is that we will provide you with the best service possible and will keep any costs reasonable and economically practical.
