How much should I expect to spend on legal fees in my Tequin® case?
Most Tequin® lawyers accept cases on a “contingent” fee basis. They are sometimes called “no win – no pay” arrangements, and indeed, that is what they are. There is no advance retainer fee to be paid, and unless the lawyer obtains a monetary settlement or verdict for you, there are no attorney fees whatsoever. If the case is won, a percentage of the settlement or verdict will go to your lawyers for their fees. The percentage involved will be one that you and the lawyer agree upon in the written fee agreement you both will sign at the outset of the case. Experienced lawyers know that most people seldom come into contact with the legal system, and will not be offended by any questions you may have.
