Description
The Contingency Agreement sample format in Miami-Dade is designed for clients who engage attorneys to represent them in legal claims, specifically wrongful termination cases. The agreement outlines the attorney's representation, detailing the fee structure based on the recovery amount, which varies if the case is settled outside of court, resolved at trial, or involves an appeal. Clients are responsible for paying reasonable costs that attorneys may incur throughout the process, including travel and expert witness fees. Additionally, the document establishes the attorneys' lien on any recovered amounts, ensuring they receive their fees and expenses first. This agreement allows attorneys to employ experts and associate counsel, outlining conditions for retaining fees even in case of client discharge. It also provides a clear framework for what happens if clients settle claims without attorney involvement, emphasizing that attorneys do not guarantee outcomes. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants in streamlining client agreements and ensuring compliance with legal obligations.
