Lawyer-Client Relationship

Does this lawyer offer free no-obligation consults?* Yes
*Free no-obligation consults means that the lawyer will chat with you free of any charges and with absolutely no obligation. This means that you can call the lawyer asking if they can help and you won’t be charged for calling and you aren’t obligated to continue to work with the lawyer in any way. The lawyer may only be prepared to chat with you briefly, but there should not be a charge for the call."

Does this lawyer accept cases on a contingency fee basis?* Yes
*A contingency fee agreement means you hire the lawyer by promising to pay them a percentage (typically one-third or less) of whatever money they recover for you. If the lawyer recovers nothing for you, then the lawyer does not send you a bill (not even for money spent out of their pocket pursuing your case). A lawyer working on a contingency fee will only get paid if they “win” your case. They will only allow you to hire them if they have confidence they will be successful. Sometimes during a free consult, a lawyer will explain that they can’t take on a case on a contingency fee basis. In those circumstances, they may discuss other ways they can be hired to assist you or they may direct you elsewhere.

Does this lawyer fund disbursements on files that they take on?* Yes
*Disbursements refers to the expenses a lawyer spends out of their pocket pursuing your case.
