Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm serves as a binding contract between the client and attorneys in Broward, specifically outlining the representation for a wrongful termination claim. This agreement stipulates that the attorneys will receive a percentage of any settlement or judgment; the exact amount varies based on the resolution process—whether settled out of court, through trial, or after an appeal. Clients are responsible for various costs associated with their case, which are advanced by the attorneys and repaid on a specified schedule. The document grants attorneys a lien on any recovery to secure their fees. It also facilitates the employment of experts and allows for associate counsel, both at the expense of the client. Clients are warned that attorneys do not guarantee a favorable outcome for the case. The agreement includes provisions for withdrawal or discharge of attorneys and the consequences of settling a claim without their consent. This form is essential for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who work on personal injury or employment litigation cases, providing a structured approach to client representation while ensuring clarity on financial responsibilities.
