Description

The Contingency Fee Agreement Sample with Client in San Bernardino outlines the terms under which a client retains an attorney to pursue a claim, typically in cases such as wrongful termination. Key features include the percentage of fees the attorney will receive based on the outcome of the case, which varies if the matter is settled out of court, resolved by trial, or involves an appeal. The agreement specifies who is responsible for costs associated with the case, including travel and expert witness fees. It also establishes the attorney's lien on any recovery and allows for the employment of associate counsel as needed. Attorneys can withdraw from the case at any time, but remain entitled to fees for work done prior to withdrawal. The agreement emphasizes that no outcome is guaranteed and highlights the importance of written modifications to the terms. This form is particularly valuable for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants in managing client relationships and ensuring clarity in fee structures and responsibilities.
