Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement with an Attorney or Law Firm is a legal document designed for clients engaging legal services in Riverside, primarily focusing on wrongful termination claims. This agreement outlines the terms under which an attorney is retained, specifying the attorney's fees based on the outcome of a claim, such as a fixed percentage of net recovery for different stages like out-of-court settlements or trials. It also addresses the costs incurred by attorneys, which must be reimbursed by the client on a regular basis, and includes clauses on attorney liens on any recovery, employment of expert witnesses, and conditions under which attorneys can withdraw or be discharged. Notably, the agreement emphasizes that attorneys do not guarantee successful outcomes or reimbursement for costs and provides authority to attorneys to execute necessary documents on behalf of the client. The document serves as a clear guideline for attorneys, partners, and legal practitioners in Riverside, detailing procedural expectations and protecting client and attorney interests alike. It is beneficial for attorneys and paralegals as it helps them manage client relationships and outlines fee structures clearly, aiding in transparent communication with clients.

The average contingency rate falls between 20-40%, with most lawyers charging around 33% to 35% of the total amount recovered in a case. The exact percentage can vary depending on the complexity of the case, the lawyer's experience, and the stage at which the case is resolved.

Contingent fees create an undue emphasis on the extent of the plaintiff's damages, and they encourage the filing and prosecution of cases with large damages but little negligence. Take the case of parents who come to the attorney's office with a brain-damaged child requiring custodial care.
