Typical attorney fees at The May Firm are between 33.33% and 40% of your total settlement, although this percentage is variable depending on your specific case. The fees we collect from the settlement also cover payments related to case costs and court costs, aside from our attorney fees. Case costs may include filing a lawsuit, retaining experts, subpoenaing records, travel expenses, depositions and private investigators. Fighting a personal injury claim can get expensive, as we research, collect evidence, and hire outside experts to provide testimony in your case. It is important to note that The May Firm will pay all case costs upfront on your behalf. We will only be paid back these costs when you win your case.
