How Are We Paid?
Our offices accept California personal injury cases on a contingent fee basis.
What this means is that we are only paid a fee for attorney services when we actually collect money on a client’s behalf, and that the fee we receive is a specific percentage of the money recovered. Also, because of efficiencies of operation, we are able to offer a discounted rate for all cases we take in through this Web site if the client is willing to communicate with us throughout the case via e-mail.
Unlike some Personal Injury law firms, if we take a case, we do not normally charge a fee on any of the property damage monies recovered.
And unlike many Personal Injury law firms , our attorney fees are calculated on the gross settlement after payment of costs, which results in more money in our clients’ pockets than they would receive from attorneys who calculate their fees on the full settlement amount.
