Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is a legal document establishing a contractual relationship between a client and their legal representatives. This agreement specifically details the definition of contingency in law within Queens, stipulating that the attorney's fees are contingent upon the successful resolution of the client's claim, which may involve wrongful termination. Key features include the percentage of fees based on the type of resolution—settlement, trial, or appeal—and outlines the potential costs the client may incur, such as expert witness fees and travel expenses. The document also addresses the attorneys' lien on any recovery, ensuring that they receive payment from any awarded settlements. It provides for hiring associate counsel and makes it clear that attorneys are entitled to fees even if the client discharges them before resolution. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it clarifies the terms of employment, potential costs involved, and the client's obligations under various circumstances, thus supporting effective legal representation.
