Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm in Ohio allows clients to secure legal representation without upfront costs, as attorneys receive payment only if the client wins or settles their case. Key features include a clear statement of employment, detailing the attorney's role in prosecuting wrongful termination claims, and a structured fee schedule based on the outcome of the case. The document specifies costs and expenses that the client may be responsible for, such as expert witness fees and travel costs, which can be advanced by the attorneys. It also outlines the attorneys' lien on any potential recovery and provisions for employing associate counsel as needed. Attorneys retain the right to withdraw from representation under specific conditions, while clients must pay fees if they settle their claims independently. This agreement is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, as it provides a clear framework for managing cases on a contingency basis, ensuring both parties understand their rights and obligations.
