Description
The Contingency Fee Agreement Form with Attorney in Pima establishes a formal relationship between the Client and the Attorneys for the purpose of prosecuting a legal claim, such as wrongful termination. This agreement specifies the percent of the net recovery that the attorneys will receive as fees, based on the resolution method of the claim—whether settled out of court, through trial, or after an appeal. It also outlines that the Client is responsible for reasonable costs incurred by the attorneys, which may be paid on a periodic basis. The attorneys are granted a lien on any potential recovery to ensure payment for their services. This form allows attorneys to hire expert witnesses as needed and provides conditions for the attorneys' withdrawal or retention of fees in case of client-driven settlements. It is essential for legal professionals—attorneys, paralegals, and legal assistants—to use this form to ensure clear communication of expectations, responsibilities, and potential outcomes while safeguarding both parties' interests. This consistency supports effective case management and enhances trust between clients and legal representatives.
