Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm serves as a legal contract between a client and their attorney in Broward for managing wrongful termination claims. Key features include structured attorney fees based on a percentage of the net recovery, which varies depending on whether the matter is settled out of court or requires a trial. Clients are also responsible for reasonable costs and necessary disbursements, which attorneys may advance and bill periodically. An important provision is the attorneys' lien, granting them rights to recover their fees from any settlement or judgment. The agreement specifies the employment of expert witnesses, support for associate counsel, and the terms for withdrawal, substitution, and any settlements made by the client. Notably, attorneys do not guarantee successful outcomes and clients must reimburse advanced costs if they settle without consent. This form is primarily useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who require a clear framework for client representation and fee arrangements, ensuring proper legal and financial protections are established.
