Why Choose Our Contingency Fee Structure?
Clients appreciate our contingency fee attorney services because they provide:
- No Hidden Costs: You only pay if we win your case. There are no upfront fees, and our payment is contingent on securing compensation for you.
- Affordable Legal Representation: Our 25% fee for out-of-court settlements makes top-tier legal services accessible.
- Clear Expectations: Whether your case settles or goes to trial, you’ll always know what to expect.
- Aligned Interests: We are motivated to achieve the best outcome because our fees depend on your success.
What Happens If Your Case Goes to Court?
If your case moves to court, we begin preparing for litigation, including discovery, depositions, and trial appearances. These additional steps require more time and resources, reflected in the 35% contingency fee for litigation cases.
We are committed to keeping you informed throughout the process and will explain every step so that you understand what to expect.
What Are Contingency Fees?
A contingency fee arrangement means you only pay attorney fees if we win your case. This fee structure is common in personal injury and other areas where clients may not have the means to pay upfront legal costs.
If we don’t recover compensation for you, you owe us nothing.

"Great Job - Highly Recommend"My car was back ended and I had whiplash. The whole insurance thing was totally confusing. My doctor recommended the Law Offices of Douglas Cook and I couldn't be more happy. I was hoping to just get most of my medical bills paid but I got those bills paid and received a settlement. I worked with Steven and the whole process was relaxed and straightforward. I also learned about bodily injury claims and medpay which was already on my policy. So, this worked out very nicely and I recommend these guys. Doug is very easy to talk to and very informative. I will use them again if I need help.- Keith M.
