There are three typical contractual arrangements that can cover the work being done for you by our office.  The legal fees can be paid 1) hourly 2) contingency and/or 3) flat. All accident cases, and medical malpractice cases, are treated on a contingency basis. All other legal matters are either handled on an hourly or flat fee basis depending upon the client’s preference, the complexity of the case, the duration of the case and the likelihood that court appearances will be required.
