Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is designed to outline the terms between a client and their attorney in Phoenix when pursuing a claim, such as wrongful termination. This form details the attorney's fees, which are contingent upon the successful recovery of funds; outlining distinct percentages based on whether the case settles out of court, goes to trial, or requires an appeal. Additionally, it stipulates that the client is responsible for costs and expenses incurred during the case, which may include expert witness fees and attorney travel. Attorneys are granted a lien on any recovery, ensuring their compensation is secured from the settlement or judgment amount. The agreement also specifies the employment of associate counsel, the power of attorney granted to the attorneys, and the conditions under which an attorney may withdraw or be discharged. Key features include clarity on compensation and expenses, as well as legal protections for both parties. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, as it ensures all parties understand their responsibilities and the financial implications of the representation.
