Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is meant by "Fee
Agreement?"
A: When you hear someone refer to a lawyer's Fee Agreement (which
may also be called an "Engagement Agreement, "Legal Services
Agreement," or may be called some other similar name), they are
likely referring to a document which sets out the terms under which
a law firm has been engaged by any given Client. These
agreements detail the scope of the representation, the manner in
which the law firm will be compensated, and will discuss the
obligations of both the Firm and the Client.
Q: Do you require a Fee
Agreement?
A: Our Firm does require a fee agreement be signed by both the Firm
and prospective Client before initiating the attorney-client
relationship. This allows both the Firm and the prospective
Client to have a clear understanding of the duties of each
throughout the representation.
Q: How much do you
charge for your services?
A: Each case will be different. Depending on the specific
facts of each case, the Firm may offer an hourly rate, a contingency
fee agreement, a flat fee arrangement, or some other payment
arrangement. Hourly rates, contingency percentages, and flat
fee amounts are determined on a case-by-case basis.
