Description

The Contingent Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is a crucial legal document for clients who are engaging attorneys to represent them in cases such as wrongful termination. This agreement outlines the amount of attorneys' fees which are contingent upon the success of the case, stipulating different percentages based on whether the case is settled out of court, resolved at trial, or appealed. The agreement also details the costs and expenses incurred by attorneys, reassured by the client's obligation to reimburse such expenses on a pre-defined schedule. Additionally, the attorneys are granted a lien on any amount recovered from a settlement or judgment, ensuring their fees are secured. This form allows attorneys the discretion to hire expert witnesses and associate counsel, enhancing the legal support provided. Notably, if the client settles without attorney consent, they are still responsible for fees based on the final recovery. This form is highly beneficial for attorneys, partners, and legal staff in Queens, as it clearly delineates roles, financial obligations, and the terms of attorney-client engagement, facilitating better communication and clarity in legal proceedings.
