Description

The Contingency Agreement Sample for Roof Replacement in Suffolk is a legal document that outlines the terms under which an attorney or law firm will represent a client in a roof replacement claim. The form clearly states the contingency fees, which are based on the net recovery from the claim, with different percentages applied depending on whether the case is settled out of court or requires trial or appeal. Clients are responsible for costs incurred by attorneys during the process, such as expert witness fees and travel expenses, which can be billed on a regular basis. The document includes provisions for attorney liens on any settlement or judgment, ensuring that attorneys can receive their fees before any client disbursements. There are also allowances for the employment of associate counsel and expert witnesses as deemed necessary by the attorneys. It emphasizes that successful outcomes are not guaranteed, thereby protecting the attorneys from liability regarding the result of the claim. This agreement is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants involved in civil litigation or client representation in Suffolk, as it provides a clear framework for the financial and legal relationships between clients and attorneys.
