Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is a legal document designed for clients seeking representation in legal matters, particularly wrongful termination claims in Houston. This form outlines the relationship between the client and the attorney, detailing the percentage of fees based on recovery and the obligations regarding costs and expenses. Key features include stipulations for attorney's fees, which vary depending on settlement methods, and provisions for costs incurred by the attorneys that the client is responsible for. The form allows attorneys to maintain a lien on recovery amounts and establishes processes for employing experts if needed. Attorneys are permitted to withdraw from representation under certain conditions while retaining rights to fees and cost reimbursements. A critical aspect of the agreement is the disclaimer stating that attorneys do not guarantee a favorable outcome for the client's claims. The intended audience — including attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants — will find utility in this form for its clarity in defining expectations and responsibilities in contingent fee arrangements, thus facilitating effective legal representation.
