One question our potential clients always have in mind is how they will be able to afford paying an attorney to represent them in pursuing a case against their current or former employers.
After all, many of our clients recently lost their job and are either still unemployed or are trying to get back on their feet after unemployment.
We take many of our case on a "contingency-fee" basis, which generally means that a client does not have to pay us any fees unless we recover something of value (usually money) for them. At that point, we take a percentage of whatever we recover as our fee.
Whether or not we are willing to represent a client on a contingency-fee basis depends on numerous factors. When we take a case for a contingency fee, we take a very big risk. If the case is not successful, we may have expended tens-of-thousands of dollars of our time for nothing.
Even if we are not willing to take your case on a contingency-fee basis, we have a number of other options to fit your financial situation, such as payment plans and "hybrid" agreements.
