Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is designed to outline the relationship between a client and their attorney in Montgomery. This form allows clients to retain legal representation on a contingent fee basis, meaning attorneys are paid a percentage of any recovery obtained from the client's claim, which is specifically stated. Clients are responsible for reimbursing costs incurred by the attorneys, which can include various expenses related to the case. The agreement also stipulates that attorneys may employ expert witnesses and associate counsel at their discretion, with costs for these services paid by the client. Importantly, the document clarifies that attorneys retain a lien on any recovery for their fees, and if a client settles the claim independently, they must still compensate the attorneys as agreed. This form serves as a vital tool for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, ensuring that all parties have clear expectations about fees, expenses, and responsibilities throughout the legal process.
