Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms of payment for legal services rendered in criminal cases in Broward. It specifies that clients will pay attorneys a percentage of the net recovery based on the resolution of the case, either through settlement or trial. Costs such as depositions and expert witness fees may also be incurred and are to be paid by the client. The agreement grants attorneys a lien on any recovery, ensuring they receive payment for their services before any funds are disbursed to the client. It allows attorneys to engage experts and associate counsel as needed. Importantly, the document states that attorneys are entitled to their fees even if the client discharges them prior to settlement. This agreement is essential for attorneys, partners, and associates to maintain clarity in client relationships, manage expectations regarding fees, and understand their rights in the event of a client’s discharge or case resolution. Legal assistants and paralegals can utilize this form to ensure accurate completion and adherence to legal standards, providing essential support to the legal team.
