Legal fees
The cost of success
You have a choice of how you would prefer to pay for our services. It can be on an hourly rate basis or a contingency fee basis.
Most clients prefer to be charged on a contingency fee basis, in which case you do not have to pay anything for legal fees or disbursements until you receive compensation for your injuries. Your fees will be based on the amount of compensation you receive. If you do not receive any compensation (and this has happened to me once in over 25 years of practice) you do not pay anything for legal fees and disbursements.
This way, you can be assured that you will receive a worthwhile return for your investment of legal costs.
The amount of the fee for each case will total approximately 35% of the amount, which you recover for damages and interest. However, if you are successful in the case, the defendant will usually make a contribution to your legal costs. This contribution is typically equal to 15% of the amount agreed to for damages, so your actual costs would end up at approximately 20 %.
If you wish, we can agree that your liability to pay costs will be limited to 20% and I will recover the balance of my fee from the costs paid by the defendant or his/her insurer.
