Description

The Contingent Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is a crucial document for establishing the terms of representation between a client and their attorneys in Dallas. This form outlines the conditions under which attorneys will be compensated, detailing the percentage of net recovery the client will pay based on the resolution method—whether settled out of court, through trial, or after an appeal. It specifies the client's obligations regarding costs and other expenses, such as deposition fees and expert witness costs, to be paid on a designated schedule. The agreement grants attorneys a lien on the claim, ensuring their fees are secured from any recovery. Key features include provisions for employing expert witnesses, associate counsel, and conditions regarding the withdrawal of attorneys. It ensures that even if the client discharges their attorneys before a settlement, the attorneys retain the right to their contingent fees. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it clarifies the financial arrangement and protects the interests of both the client and the legal professionals involved.
