When you first instruct a lawyer you should ask for an estimate of the likely cost and find out what hourly rate the lawyer is charging. If possible obtain this information in writing and ask the lawyer to consult with you if the estimate is reached before the work is completed.

In most cases, our lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. That is, you will not pay any money unless your lawsuit is won, in which case the attorney’s fee is based on a predetermined percentage of the total settlement. In other words, we only get paid if you do. Otherwise, you pay nothing.
