Description
The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms under which clients can engage legal representation in Miami-Dade, particularly in wrongful termination claims. A key feature is the contingency fee structure, where attorneys receive a percentage of the net recovery depending on the case's resolution: out of court, through trial, or after an appeal. Clients are also responsible for paying the reasonable costs and expenses incurred during the legal process, which can be billed on a set basis such as monthly or quarterly. The agreement explicitly grants attorneys a lien on any settlement or judgment obtained, ensuring their fees and costs are secured from these proceeds. It allows attorneys to employ additional experts or associate counsel, with associated costs charged to the client. Importantly, clients should note that even if they discharge their attorneys, the latter are entitled to their contingency fees. This document is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, and paralegals in crafting and managing legal agreements, while providing owners and associates with a clear understanding of their obligations and rights within contingent representation.
