Description

The Contingency Contract in Therapy in Michigan serves as a formal agreement between clients and attorneys, primarily concerning claims like wrongful termination. This contract outlines the employment terms, detailing attorney fees contingent upon the outcome of the case, including percentages based on whether a settlement is reached out of court or through a trial. Additionally, it delineates costs and expenses that may be incurred during representation, which the client is responsible for, ensuring transparency in financial obligations. Attorneys are granted a lien on any proceeds from settlements or judgments, securing their payment. The contract also provides provisions for utilizing expert witnesses and associate counsel at the attorney's discretion. Importantly, the agreement stipulates conditions under which attorneys may withdraw and the implications for attorney fees should the client settle without their consent. It is vital that both parties review and understand the entire agreement, as modifications require written consent. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, as it supports efficient management of client cases and ensures compliance with legal standards in Michigan.
