Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is a critical legal document used by clients hiring attorneys for representation in wrongful termination claims. It outlines the terms of employment, specifying attorneys' fees based on the outcome of the case, including percentages for out-of-court settlements, trials, and appeals. The agreement also details the costs and expenses the client is responsible for, including deposition costs and expert witness fees, thus promoting financial transparency. Attorneys have the authority to retain a lien on any settlement or judgment received to ensure payment for their services. Additionally, the agreement allows attorneys to hire associate counsel and expert witnesses at the client's expense, enhancing the case's potential. Clients must understand that attorneys do not guarantee a favorable outcome, emphasizing the inherent risks of legal proceedings. This form is essential for Attorneys, Partners, Owners, Associates, Paralegals, and Legal Assistants, as it provides a structured framework for managing expectations, responsibilities, and financial arrangements in legal representation, ensuring all parties are aligned on the terms of engagement.
