The Florida Bar has a set of rules that govern how lawyers can charge for their legal services. These rules are in place to make sure that lawyers are transparent about their fees and that they only charge fair and reasonable rates. At Stevenson Klotz Injury Lawyers, we follow these guidelines and charge one third of your settlement if we don't file a lawsuit and 40%, if we do. This is our contingency fee and it's how we get paid for our services.
