Attorney's Fee Arrangements on Litigation Matters:

This firm offers litigation representation either on an hourly basis or a contingent fee basis. And provisions of both these types of fees will differ depending on the circumstances. In order to enter into a contingency arrangement, you must normally be pursuing a money judgment rather than specific performance or the return of an item or a declaration of contract terms or an accounting of investments made, etc. The firm will offer to pay the out-of-pocket costs of litigation only on large dollar-value lawsuits when a contingency arrangement is in place. Often the firm will require a retainer for no other reason than to assure that the client is serious about the lawsuit and will respond promptly to requests for information and cooperation. On hourly retainers, the amount of a retainer required will depend upon the estimated cost of the litigation. It will generally be one-fourth of the estimated cost. You will be billed monthly for legal fees and expenses and will be expected to pay promptly.
