There are three methods of compensation. The most common fee is on a per hour basis. Since we may not know how long a matter will take, this method is the fairest to both attorney and client. Hourly rates are commensurate with responsibility and expertise. All rates are in writing and periodic billing is submitted.
Contingency fees are common in personal injury matters.
No recovery-no fee enables a client to have his or her matter pursued without risk of large legal expenses. Where appropriate, the parties may elect this procedure. The New Jersey Supreme Court controls some fees in this area. A flat or quoted fee is used where practical. Uncomplicated matters or routine procedures where time is predictable, unless unexpected difficulties arise, may call for this type of fee.
