An arrangement tied to recovery
In a contingency arrangement, the attorney’s fee is generally linked to a recovery rather than billed by the hour. The written agreement sets out the terms that apply.
Costs are a separate question
Court filings, records, and expert work can involve expenses distinct from attorney fees. Ask how those costs are handled and what obligations may exist in different outcomes.
Understand the agreement
Before signing, discuss the percentage, how a recovery would be distributed, and any provisions about costs. The goal is a clear understanding of your own agreement, not reliance on a general description.
