Most clients are worried about the cost of hiring a lawyer. But, with prudent planning, you can pay legal fees, and in many circumstances, save yourself a great deal of money by using legal services to prevent even bigger problems.
Every case is unique, and some types of cases are charged in a legally mandated manner or by custom.
There are some types of cases that have standard fees. Most personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis. With a contingency fee, the lawyer earns a percentage, usually one-third, of whatever is recovered for the client, plus the costs of litigating the case. The more the client gets, the more the attorney receives. It is an incentive for the attorney to obtain the best possible result.
