A contingency fee is an agreement whereby the client pays no fees unless
and until there is a recovery in the lawsuit. Such fees are usually based
on a percentage of the proceeds. Such agreements may also be dependent
upon various factors including the nature and complexity of the matter,
the risk involved, the cost in pursuing the matter, and the likelihood
of success. The benefit of a contingency agreement is two-fold. First,
you don’t receive a monthly bill from your attorney for the time
spent on the case. Second,
if there is no recovery, there is no fee! At Cohn & Swartzon, P.C. you will never pay any fees if there is no recovery.
