2. Litigation Cases
If your case proceeds to litigation and requires filing a lawsuit, our fees increase to 35% of the final settlement or court award. Litigation often involves additional time, resources, and complexity, which is why this adjustment is necessary.

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.

"It was an absolute pleasure working with Doug. I highly recommend him without reservations."He knew exactly how to manage my case expertly and effectively. He had an extraordinary way of handling the people and agencies we had to deal with. I consistently felt I was in good hands.- Lisa
-
"Peace of mind, family feel, with giant firm skills!"Thrilled is an understatement. I never thought I would be excited about attorneys in my life, but I am hoping I help someone avoid picking the wrong firm by writing this. All I can say is WOW! Trust me people, you won't understand how great these guys are until you experience the "other guys". Do you want your case to drag out for years and settle for less? Do you want to chase your attorney by phone, text, and email with no response or updates for months? Do you want to feel like your case is being neglected because they brought on bigger cases after yours? That was my experience elsewhere, but here...even during a pandemic less than 6 months to settle everything! A1, simply the best, period! I pray I don't need them again, but they're on speed dial for anyone I know or meet!- Ini I.

"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

"Doug Cook took my case reassuring me that soon I would be able to rest easy, and he was absolutely right!"After a recent auto accident, I wanted to be very careful and selective about who I hired to help me with this matter. I have previously had a couple of BIG NAME, high priced attorney's that I could never speak or meet with, which was quite annoying!- C. Marshall
