Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an attorney or law firm delineates the terms under which a client engages attorneys to pursue a claim, such as wrongful termination, in Maricopa. This form clearly outlines the percentage of the net recovery that the client will owe as attorney fees based on the resolution method—whether settled out of court or through trial. The document also specifies that clients are responsible for reasonable costs and expenses incurred by attorneys, which can be billed during the engagement. A lien on the recovery amount is granted to attorneys as security for their fees and costs. The agreement allows attorneys to employ expert witnesses and associate counsel at their discretion, ensuring comprehensive legal representation. It emphasizes that attorneys cannot guarantee favorable outcomes and provides mechanisms for withdrawal or substitution of counsel. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, paralegals, and legal assistants as it establishes clear guidelines for fee structures, costs, and the responsibilities of both parties, thereby facilitating the legal process for clients seeking representation.
