Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is designed to outline the terms under which a client retains legal representation in Fairfax for a wrongful termination claim. This form specifies that the attorney will receive a percentage of the net recovery, differentiated by whether the case is settled out of court, resolved through trial, or appealed. It further details that the client is responsible for reasonable costs incurred by the attorney, which may include deposition costs and expert witness fees. The agreement grants attorneys a lien on any recovery to secure their fees and outlines provisions regarding the employment of expert witnesses and associate counsel. Importantly, lawyers are entitled to their fees even if a client discharges them prior to settlement. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, as it clarifies legal fee structures, client obligations, and provides a straightforward framework for managing client expectations and responsibilities in contingency cases.
