What Is a Contingency Fee?

Home Contingency Fee

No Legal Fees Unless We Win

The first and biggest reason why people hesitate to retain the services of a lawyer is because they believe it will be too expensive. It is true that many firms charge exorbitant legal fees and hourly rates, but this is not always the case. At The Lenahan Law Firm, the client is our main concern. We choose to provide excellent legal service and representation without demanding an unnecessarily large payment. How do we do this? We do it by providing our services under contingency fee agreements.

We've Never Asked a Client To Write Us a Check

The Lenahan Law Firm is a contingency-fee-based firm, and we only get paid when we are able to collect for you. You pay us nothing up-front, ever. We know that hiring a prestigious law firm with an hourly fee or huge retainer, even under the best of circumstances, would be terribly hard for most of us. Having to do so after losing a bread-winner, or after facing months out of work with mountains of medical bills, would be impossible. Don't worry about paying us out of pocket.

Our "contingency fee, plus court costs and expenses" agreement means that we keep a percentage of the total recovery when we succeed, plus what we invested for you, without you ever writing us a check. And again, if we are unable to find a solution for you, you do not pay us back the money we invested for you. That is a risk that stays with us. You don't need to be wealthy to be welcome here; just honest and honestly in need.

The Benefits of a Contingency Fee Agreement

Basically, a contingency fee is a legal payment based on a percentage of the amount a lawyer recovers for his or her client. The percentage is agreed upon when the attorney takes the case and is paid out of the money won once the settlement is closed. Now, you may be thinking "What if nothing is recovered in my case?" Don't worry. If we don't win your case, you don't have to pay us a dime. We'll even front the court costs and other expenses, which will be repaid out of your recovery, as well.

There is another major benefit to contingency fee agreements besides the fact that they are always affordable. Since an attorney receives no payment for their work unless they win the case, they are far more motivated to recover the highest possible amount for your case than if their payment is guaranteed through hourly rates or a flat-rate fee.
