A contingency fee is a payment structure in which an attorney’s compensation is tied directly to the outcome of your case. If you win, the attorney receives an agreed-upon percentage of what is recovered. If the case does not succeed, no attorney’s fee is owed. This way, there is no risk for you.

This arrangement fundamentally changes who can pursue legal action. Without it, only those with the financial resources to pay several hundred dollars per hour could realistically afford experienced representation. Contingency fee agreements remove that barrier and open the courthouse doors to people who might otherwise have no meaningful recourse. Yes, we handle all of our cases virtually on a contingency fee basis. This applies to personal injury, wrongful death, employment law, and certain real estate and business disputes. The applicable percentage is agreed upon at the outset and documented in writing, so there are no surprises. In California, contingency fees in personal injury cases are subject to specific regulations designed to protect clients, and we comply fully with those requirements. Beyond attorney fees, there are out-of-pocket litigation costs such as filing fees, expert reports, and deposition transcripts. We advance those expenses ourselves and recover them from the settlement or verdict proceeds, meaning you carry no financial burden during the case. This structure reflects a straightforward principle: the quality of your legal representation should not be dictated by your bank balance.
