Description

The Contingency Contract in House in Maricopa is a legal document that establishes the terms of representation between a client and their attorney in a wrongful termination claim. This contract outlines the attorney's fees based on the outcome of the case, specifying percentages for settlements, trials, and appeals. It details the costs and expenses that the client is responsible for, such as deposition costs and expert witness fees, which are incurred during the case preparation. The agreement also grants attorneys a lien on any recovery amount, ensuring they receive payment for their services before the client receives their share of any settlement. Additionally, the contract allows attorneys to employ associate counsel or expert witnesses at their discretion, financed by the client. Clients are advised that employment can be terminated without forfeiting the attorney's fee for work completed prior to discharge. However, clients must compensate attorneys for any costs advanced if they settle the claim independently. This document is critical for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, as it governs the legal and financial relationship between clients and their legal representatives, ensuring clarity and protecting both parties' interests in the legal process.
