A:We have a no-fee guarantee which begins at the time of the first consultation. You do not pay any up-front fee to speak with us about your case. In fact, because we work on a contingent fee basis only, there is absolutely no fee unless we obtain money for you at the end of the case. No matter how much time and effort we put into your case-and we will put in a lot-there is no fee unless we obtain a settlement or collect on a judgment. We are proud to be able to say that 98% of our clients have received money for their injuries. Both in New York and New Jersey, the fee is set by law. The standard percentage is 33 1/3% in NY personal injury cases. For New York malpractice cases, and New Jersey malpractice and personal injury cases, there is a sliding scale that is set by law.
