Description
The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm in Ohio outlines the terms under which a client retains legal representation for prosecuting a claim, such as wrongful termination. This agreement specifies that the attorney's fees are contingent upon the outcome of the case, with detailed percentages assigned for settlements reached out of court, during a trial, or after an appeal. Clients are informed about their responsibility for reasonable costs and expenses related to their case, which attorneys may advance. The form establishes attorneys' rights to a lien on any recovered amounts and covers the employment of expert witnesses as well as associate counsel. It also addresses the conditions under which an attorney can withdraw from representation and what happens if a client settles a claim independently. This form is essential for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it ensures clarity in the financial arrangement between clients and their lawyers, protecting both parties' rights and responsibilities. The clear structure and unambiguous language used in this agreement serve to increase understanding and accessibility for individuals who may not have extensive legal backgrounds.
