Description

The Legal Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm outlines the terms under which a client engages attorneys to represent them in a wrongful termination claim in Middlesex. The agreement details the attorney's fees, which are calculated as a percentage of the net recovery, varying based on whether the case is settled out of court, goes to trial, or is appealed. The document specifies that reasonable costs incurred by the attorneys, such as deposition costs and expert witness fees, will also be the responsibility of the client. Attorneys are granted a lien on any recovery resulting from the case to secure their fee and costs. Moreover, the agreement allows attorneys to employ expert witnesses and associate counsel as needed. It is crucial for parties involved to understand that attorneys do not guarantee favorable outcomes and maintain the right to withdraw from the case with prior notice, while still being entitled to reimbursement for expenses. This document serves as an essential resource for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants in managing client expectations and legal representation concerning contingency fee arrangements.
