Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement Form with Attorney in Kings is a crucial document for establishing the terms of representation between clients and attorneys in claims, such as wrongful termination. This agreement allows clients to engage attorneys to pursue claims, empowering them to negotiate settlements and file legal actions as necessary. A key feature of this form is its clear outline of attorney fees, which are contingent upon successful recovery—split into percentages based on the resolution method, whether settled out of court or resolved after a trial. It also details costs and expenses that the client may be required to cover during the process. Attorneys are given a lien on any recoveries, ensuring their fees and costs are secured from any settlements or judgments. Additionally, the agreement specifies the ability of attorneys to employ expert witnesses and associate counsel when necessary. For legal professionals, including attorneys, partners, and paralegals, this form serves as a foundational tool to define the client-attorney relationship, clarify fee structures, and ensure compliance with legal standards while managing client expectations about the outcomes of their cases.
