Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms under which a client hires attorneys for a car accident claim in Fairfax. The agreement specifies that the client pays a percentage of the net recovery to the attorneys as fees, dependent on whether the case settles out of court, is resolved by trial, or goes to appeal. Additionally, it clarifies that the client is responsible for other costs such as deposition fees and expert witness fees, which can be advanced by the attorneys. Importantly, the agreement provides the attorneys with a lien on any recovery to ensure payment of their fees. It permits attorneys to employ expert witnesses and associate counsel as needed for the case. The client gives the attorneys a power of attorney to execute necessary documents related to the claim. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who represent clients in personal injury cases, as it provides detailed instructions for managing fees, disbursements, and the attorneys' rights in the event of a settlement or withdrawal from the case.
