It is called a contingent fee because the attorney getting paid
is contingent upon you getting paid. A contingency fee
arrangement is a method that allows many individuals who have
been injured or seeking damages, such as those resulting from an
auto accident or a
trucking accident, to obtain legal
representation even if they do not have money to pay a lawyer at
the outset of a case. This means Belt Law Firm does not charge
you any fee, until and unless we recover money for you.
As a part of representing individuals on a contingency fee
basis, Belt Law Firm will advance the expenses on your case.
Expenses can include such things as court filing fees, the costs
of obtaining records, transcripts of testimony, and the costs of
expert witnesses, investigative services and travel expenses.
The client is not responsible for repaying these expenses, until
and unless we recover money for you. This means if no recovery
is made, then it costs you nothing.
The percentage Belt Law Firm charges in a contingency fee case
can vary depending on several factors, including:
• The amount of time involved in handling the case;
• The complexity of the case;
• The probability of making a recovery;
• The expenses associated with handling the case;
The exact details of a contingency fee contract depend upon the
contract between the client and attorney.
