Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is designed for clients seeking legal representation in cases involving inheritance theft in Harris. It specifies the arrangement whereby attorneys are retained to handle a claim, emphasizing the potential for recovery without upfront costs for the client. Key features include detailed sections on fees, which outline percentages based on the outcome of the case—settlement, trial, or appeal. Clients are informed about the responsibility for costs and other expenses, which may include expert witness fees and travel costs, to be paid based on an agreed schedule. The agreement also addresses the attorneys' lien on any recovery, allowing attorneys to retain their fees directly from settlements or judgments. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, paralegals, and legal assistants to ensure clear terms and conditions are established from the outset of representation. It aids in documenting the client's understanding of the financial implications of their legal actions, facilitating effective communication between all parties involved. Additionally, it grants attorneys the authority to act on the client's behalf in executing relevant documents.
