Description
The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is designed for clients in Dallas seeking legal representation without upfront costs. This agreement outlines the terms under which attorneys will represent a client in a wrongful termination claim, specifying the percentages of net recovery that will be paid as attorney fees, depending on whether the case is settled out of court, resolved in trial, or involves an appeal. Importantly, clients are responsible for paying reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the attorneys, which may vary based on the frequency of billing. The agreement also grants attorneys a lien on any settlement amounts, ensuring they receive their fees from any recovery achieved. Legal professionals, including attorneys, partners, and paralegals, can utilize this form to establish clear expectations and financial arrangements with clients. It serves to protect both the client and the attorney by outlining their obligations and rights. This agreement is crucial for managing cases where clients may be hesitant to pay upfront for legal services, thereby increasing access to legal representation.
