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.

"I recommend him to anyone I know that gets into accidents because I know what he will do and I promise they won't be disappointed"Cook is the man. I was in an accident in 2015 and was well taken care of. He had me a chiropractor, pain management and MRI set up with in the first week and had my case settled in less then 3 months. Then I was just in a accident February 2020 and my case was closed within 60 days with no questions asked. I recommend him to anyone I know that gets into accidents because I know what he will do and I promise they won't be disappointed. Thanks Mr.Cook for everything.- P.B.

"Truly showed compassion and patience"In October 2022, I was involved in a horrific car accident. The law firm I contacted initially made me feel like I wasn’t a priority. I decided to do my research and I was blessed to come across K. Douglas Cook Law Firm. Attorney Steven Herman and his staff has made this part of recovery so smooth. Every step of the way I was informed and treated like I mattered. I broke both wrists in this accident and my life came to a stop. I was completely dependent on everyone for everything. Attorney Herman truly showed compassion and patience as I processed everything that comes with a car wreck; physically, emotionally, mentally and financially. I was amazed at how fast they worked to get everything taken care of. I consider this law firm family and will always be thankful. I would definitely recommend this firm.- J. Smith

"Above and beyond magnificentt"Unfortunate circumstances allowed me to use Doug for the second time. His knowledge and professionalism made the transition easy with the insurance carriers. He was always accessible, would keep me informed, and even called to check on occasion to ensure everything was going smoothly. He was humorous and understanding and actually helped me prepare for the road ahead. We had never even discussed settlements, but I was assured all bills and time used in recovery would be compensated. In the end, I had what I thought would be a fair settlement. Doug not only got me that, but so much more. I haven't stopped smiling since!! I strongly recommend Doug & Steve to anyone who needs help and answers. THEY ARE AWESOME!!- Wayne
