Contingency Fees Serving Families Throughout Atlanta

Understanding Attorney Fees at The Law Offices of K. Douglas Cook

At The Law Offices of K. Douglas Cook, we believe in transparent and fair attorney fees. We understand that legal costs can be a concern for many clients. That’s why we strive to provide a clear and straightforward fee structure tailored to your needs.

Our Transparent Fee Structure

1. Out-of-Court Settlements
For cases resolved through settlement or negotiation, our attorney fees are capped at 25% of the settlement amount. You only pay a percentage of what we successfully recover, ensuring affordable access to high-quality legal representation.
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.

    I truly appreciate the Law Offices of K. Douglas Cook. Thank you for your service Attorney Cook and Attorney Herman!
    - T. Wmn
    "His laid back personality put me at my ease at once."
    Bottom line: he settled my case in a timely way, without any effort on my part, and got far more than I expected in compensation.
    - Jennifer Pursley
    "I definitely would recommend to anyone!"
    Attorney Cook is AWESOME & I definitely would recommend to anyone!! Thanks Attorney Cook
    - A.W.
    "He's a silver tongue fox!"
    One Saturday afternoon I went shopping at Wal-Mart and as I walk across the parking lot to my car I'm struck by a car. Long story short, I was going to try and represent myself but later decided against it. I did a thorough online research and found the wonderfully awesome K. Douglas Cook. He took over my case and the rest is history. He settled my case for far more than I imagined. Attorney Cook is #1 in my book and if you're searching for an attorney he should be #1 in yours too. K. Douglas Cook is truly THE MAN!
    - Tina Kemp
    "It was a pleasure interacting with him."
    He doesn't allow the insurance companies to short change his clients. Thank you so much Doug!!!
    - Gene Miller
    "When I call to speak to Doug, I speak with Doug, not a paralegal or assistant."
    He maximized my settlement quickly and takes only 25% compared to most other attorneys who take 33%.
    - Ralph Contreras
    "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.
    "Excellent Attorney!"
    For someone with a busy life and you are in need of someone who can represent you and provide peace of mind then Douglas Cook is your man.
    - Sterling Russell
