Fees for our services are determined on a case-by-case basis and subject to a written engagement agreement. In general, attorneys’ fees can be paid on an hourly, contingency or blended fee basis. An hourly fee is simply the number of hours worked by the attorney and other billing professionals (such as paralegals) multiplied by the applicable hourly rate. Hourly fees are generally due and payable monthly. Contingency fees are fees paid as a percentage of the gross amount recovered for the client and are paid at the time of recovery. Blended fees are a combination of a reduced hourly fee (payable monthly) and reduced contingency fee (at time of recovery). In cases where real estate, business interests and other less liquid assets are expected to be recovered, we will work with you in advance to address a realistic timing schedule for liquidating the asset and paying the fees due.
